The mirror is a luxury for the people who have not yet solved the problem of food and clothing.

But for Xungui, it is just needed.

The noblewomen of Chang'an City, one counts as one, and there is at least one bronze mirror on the dresser.

More than 30% of the annual profits of the fat powder shop come from the sale of various mirrors, and this year, the shopkeeper Cui is even more desperate, pressing all the treasures on the bronze mirror from Jiangnan Road.

If it is said that before today, someone asked the shopkeeper Cui, which one is stronger in the mirror?

His answer is absolutely not ambiguous, that is, the mirror sold by the fat powder shop is the best in Chang'an City.

However, if someone asks him now, probably he will dare to say that the bronze mirror of the fat powder shop is the best in Chang'an City.

"Guest officer? Sir? The maid who was in charge of receiving Cui's shopkeeper saw him staring at the glass mirror motionless in a daze, and felt panicked.

That face, one moment red, one moment white, made people feel frightened when they saw it.

Anyway, his glass mirror is not sold, this person looks weird, if he doesn't buy it, let him go.

"What is this glass mirror made of?" Shopkeeper Cui took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

The top priority is to find out what the glass mirror of the Treasure Pavilion is all about, and whether there is a way to recover it.

But anyone who is not blind knows that glass mirrors are countless times better than copper mirrors.

"Of course the glass mirror is made of glass?"

Ignoring his contempt, Shopkeeper Cui continued to ask, "Why have I never heard of glass?" It looks like this glass is a bit like crystal? ”

As soon as he finished saying his words, Shopkeeper Cui was depressed again.

What is a crystal?

That's a thing that's more expensive than copper, I don't know how many times.

If you make a mirror out of crystal, the sense of grade is definitely countless times that of a copper mirror.

How can this make your own bronze mirror sold?

Sold 12 sides yesterday, it seems that not only is it not that Xiao Er does not work hard, but it is a very good result.

"Glass and crystal are similar things, and there's nothing wrong with saying it's crystal."

There should be only one person who really understands glass, Li Kuan, and he doesn't want to popularize these physical and chemical knowledge so early, so among the people in the Treasure Pavilion, even Xiang'er, they don't know much about the material of glass.

Anyway, as long as you know that the glass is very high-end, difficult to make, and expensive, you can do it.

"How much does this glass mirror cost?"

"One hundred times!"

"One hundred?" Shopkeeper Cui didn't think it was expensive, on the contrary, he thought it was too cheap.

If the fat powder shop had such a glass mirror, it would sell it for at least 200 yuan, no, 500 yuan!

Where is this mirror, it is obviously a treasure!

You must know that the new bronze mirror of the fat powder shop also costs fifty yuan on the top side.

"Do you have any bigger glass mirrors here?"

Shopkeeper Cui originally thought about whether he could rely on the price advantage to let his own copper mirror continue to be sold, but fifty to one hundred is ......

Although the price is twice as bad, there is no way to compare it.

If you spend 50 yuan to buy a bronze mirror, will you still be short of 50 yuan?

People spend 50 yuan because of the high-quality bronze mirror, which is about 50 yuan, not that they can only afford to buy 50 yuan.

This is like two people who scored 100 points and 99 points in the later generations, people scored 100 points because the test paper only scored 100 points, and people with 99 points could only test so much because of their strength.

A difference of one point, it looks good, but in fact it may be far away.

Fifty and one hundred, it seems that the difference is only doubled, that is because people don't want to sell 500 or 1,000, it's not that they can't sell it.

"I'm sorry, we only have one uniform size at the moment, and there is no bigger one."

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Cui's heart finally settled down a little.

There is no way to compare the clarity of your own copper mirror with that of a glass mirror, but at least it still has an advantage in size.

The largest bronze mirror can reflect the whole person from head to toe in the mirror; The glass mirror in front of me is absolutely clear to clean, but the palm-sized mirror can only be used on the dresser.

"Why isn't this mirror bigger?"

Shopkeeper Cui was afraid that as soon as he left on the front foot, the Treasure Pavilion on the back foot would make a larger glass mirror come out.

"Glass mirrors are cumbersome to make, and making such mirrors is already ingenious, and it is very difficult to make them bigger."

"Okay, I see. Give me this mirror. ”

Shopkeeper Cui is going to give the owner a reminder tonight, don't have to explain that the bronze mirror is not easy to sell at that time.

……

Fat powder shop.

"Sister, how about you look at this bronze mirror, my mother will celebrate her birthday next month, and I want to buy a mirror for her."

A pair of sister-like little ladies began to be interested in mirrors after buying some rouge and other objects in the fat powder shop.

"It's a good idea to buy a mirror, but this bronze mirror won't work."

"Why can't it be? I heard that the bronze mirror of this shop is the best in Chang'an City. ”

"That was before, and now when I buy mirrors, I go to the Treasure Pavilion to buy glass mirrors."

"Glass mirrors? I've seen it a few times, but isn't that a little too small to fit in the locker room? ”

"But it's clear!"

"A few days ago, the glass mirror of the little lady of the Zheng family fell to the ground and shattered, but the bronze mirror does not have this problem at all!"

"But it's clear!"

"Grandpa gives us a fixed amount of money every month, and I heard that the glass mirror is more expensive."

"But it's clear!"

The conversation between the two sisters is not over yet, and the second child next to her is about to be depressed.

In the past few days, the sales of copper mirrors in the fat powder shop are declining, and they can't be sold on ten sides a day.

What's even more depressing is that people are starting to return goods!

I just bought it yesterday, and I came to return it today, if I want to return it, those who can afford to buy my own bronze mirror are not ordinary children.

I couldn't help it, I pinched my nose and returned it to someone.

In this way, there are only five or six pieces actually sold in a day, and this trend seems to be still falling!

The thousands of mirrors in the warehouse, which I thought would be sold in two or three months at most, now seem to be ......

You can't necessarily sell it in two or three years, right?

Although the business of the fat powder shop has not reached the point of being crowded, it is still very inferior compared to the daily hustle and bustle of the Treasure Pavilion opposite.

I heard that the shopkeeper Cui went to visit the owner yesterday, I wonder if there will be any changes?

It stands to reason that this owner is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

It is related to the income of tens of thousands of yuan, even if it is the top nobles of Chang'an City, it cannot be said that it is ignored.

After all, birds die for food, and people die for money.
