Chapter 225: A Priceless Glass Bowl

Entering the curtain shop, Xiao Yao continued his curiosity, and then walked around the warehouse with his hands behind his back, looking like a boss, looking at all kinds of mortgage items, and the housekeeper followed nervously, for fear that he would suddenly lose his temper and fall when he picked up something!

Afraid of something, Xiao Yao really picked up a glass bowl from a delicate brocade box, turned around, looked at it, and was so frightened that the housekeeper immediately ran over, and said nervously: "Childe, this glass bowl is a very precious treasure, if it is broken, it will be terrible!" The housekeeper also used his hands to block under the bowl, for fear that Xiao Yao would not want to fall down.

"Glass bowls? You're bullying me for not reading much? This is clearly a glass bowl! But seeing that you're so nervous, it's really precious? Xiao Yao carefully looked at this glass bowl that was not very transparent, and even a little rough, and he didn't believe that this was a precious treasure!

"Of course it's precious, it's worth five hundred taels of silver! And the eldest son is going to take it to the emperor, and he will pay tribute to the Zhou State at that time! The housekeeper's eyes were still fixed on the glass bowl in Xiao Yao's hand.

"Damn, five hundred taels of silver! Is this broken bowl worth so much money? "Xiao Yao has an understanding of the prices of this era along the way, one tael of silver can be exchanged for a thousand yuan, and a bucket of rice is twelve catties of rice, only fifty cents, this broken bowl can be worth 120,000 catties of rice!

Xiao Yao was also so frightened that his hand holding the glass bowl shook on the spot, and the housekeeper saw it and was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out.

"Worth the money, of course! Legend has it that this precious glass bowl was a tribute from the envoy of the Persian State in the Western Regions to Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty! More than 100 years have passed, and this glass bowl is still round and smooth, and there is no second one in the world, so this glass bowl is certainly worth the price! "Finished, the housekeeper snatched the glass bowl from Xiao Yao's hand, and then put it back into the brocade box Zheng with a heart

"Huh? You can't find a second one, it's this kind of glass bowl, and no one can make it now? Xiao Yao felt as if he had caught an important person who couldn't talk about important information!

"Do you think that these precious glass treasures are those pottery bowls and porcelain bowls, which can be made casually? It is said that in order to make this glass bowl, the Persian country concentrated a full one hundred and eight skilled craftsmen, and it took nine hundred and eighty-one to make it, and now the production method has been lost, so this glass bowl is a peerless boutique! The butler took the rumors seriously.

Xiao Yao couldn't help but be stunned! It turns out that glass bowls are so valuable in this day and age! The process of making glass seems to be very simple, and the materials are not very complicated, when I was doing experiments in college, these glass bowls can be made casually, and they are much more beautiful than this!

A new plan immediately appeared in Xiao Yao's mind: to make a beautiful glass bowl out, and then take advantage of the fact that the glass products are so expensive now, take it and sell it, then you can make a lot of money! With money, it's not like I can do whatever I want!

When he returned to Xiao's house that night, Xiao Yao immediately found Xiao Shan and asked, "Brother, are you still following behind your eldest brother's ass and being his follower?" ”

What do you mean by that? What a fart? What do you know as a child! The eldest brother is not only a high-ranking official of the imperial court now, but also as the eldest son and grandson, this Xiao family will be his sooner or later, and I am following him now so that we can live a better life in the future! Xiao Shan thought that Xiao Yao looked down on him as Xiao Fu's follower, and was a little angry, and then laughed bitterly at himself: "And now aren't you also Tong's follower?" Make something to eat to please him! Alas, our two brothers are the followers of the two brothers, who called us concubines, these are all fate! ”

"Brother, don't get me wrong, I'm not laughing at you, I want you to get ahead and do more!" Xiao Yao immediately explained.

"Get ahead? How do we calculate the top? Twelve, as long as I follow my eldest brother, no one in the Xiao family will dare to bully our mother, so you can be a cook with peace of mind, and make delicious filial piety to your mother, which can be regarded as getting ahead! Xiao Shan touched Xiao Yao's head and said earnestly.

"Brother, mine is true, I now have a plan so that our three sons and mothers can live a good life, and no one will dare to bully us in the future!" Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Shan Dao confidently.

"What's the plan?" Xiao Shan was also calmed by Xiao Yao's confident eyes.

"Today, the housekeeper and I went to our Xiao family's pawnshop, and then we saw a glass bowl, the housekeeper's thing is valuable!" Xiao Yao said seriously.

"Oh, that baby, I've seen it too, it's really beautiful, it's worth five hundred taels of silver! I heard that the eldest brother was also going to dedicate it to the emperor, and then take it to pay tribute to the Zhou State. Xiao Shan also touched his chin and recalled.

"I'll make this glass bowl!" Xiao Yao suddenly snapped.

"What? Will you do it? Big talk! Xiao Shan was stunned, thinking he was joking.

"Not big talk! Not only can I make it, but it looks better than this glass bowl, but I have to have the materials! Xiao Yao was serious.

"Do you really know how to do it? This is a peerless treasure, and everyone who knows how to do it is already dead. Xiao Shan still didn't believe it.

In fact, no one will believe this kind of statement! After all, this is a glass bowl, it has been hundreds of years since it was brought to the Central Plains from Persia, but no one can imitate it until now! Now you're a ten-year-old kid who actually goes back to making glass bowls, isn't that a lie?

"When I was hiding from Brother Tong before, I once secretly ran to my father's study and saw an ancient book, a notebook written by a person named Ge Hong, which said how to make this kind of glass bowl!" Xiao Yao pulled to Xiao Feng's study, which was a place where even Xiao Fu couldn't casually enter.

"Ge Hong? It's Hug Puzi, he is a celebrity, in the Jin Dynasty, he was known as the alchemy priest of the immortal! "Xiaoshan is still a bit cultured, and naturally knows that Ge Hong, the word hugs Puzi, and he also wrote a book about the back of the elbow.

"Well, it should be him, anyway, the book can make a transparent glass bowl, just like the broken bowl in the pawnshop." Xiao Yao forcibly rounded his words. How does he know what other people's Ge Hong characters are? He knew that Ge Hong was a famous chemist in the Jin Dynasty, and his name was written into the junior high school chemistry book! Like Taishang Laojun, he is the ancestor of Chinese chemists!

"Is there really such a note? Do you understand? How old were you then? Xiao Shan still looked at his younger brother suspiciously.

"Anyway, I'll do it now, if you don't believe it, you have to believe it! I just have the ability to make the glass bowl, you are my brother, so you have to help me! Xiao Yao didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he crushed it from this topic strongly!

"Can you really do it? So how do you want me to help you? Although Xiao Shan still had a lot of question marks, he was still suppressed by Xiao Yao's momentum.

"You have to have a stove to do this! I also want coal, I want a bellows, I want all kinds of materials, and I want cherry blossoms. Xiao Yao snapped his fingers thinly.

"What the hell are you in? Aren't you a glass bowl, how did you get on these things? Xiao Shan looked at Xiao Yao in confusion and asked.

"In general, we must have freedom and rights before we can take the first step of revolution!" Xiao Yao's mind is still very active.

"What did this revolution come about? Whose life? Xiao Shan still couldn't keep up with Xiao Yao's rhythm.

"You just do what I do, don't have so many problems!" Xiao Yao said impatiently.

"What are you doing, I don't understand any of them, how can I do it?" Xiao Shan also lost his temper.

So, the two brothers were about to fight...

Second, Xiao Shan followed Xiao Yao's instructions, found Xiao Fu and said respectfully to him: "Big brother, last time I heard from my father that the weapons production task of our Xiao family's iron workshop was not completed on time, I guess it should be those blacksmiths who are lazy, and now the eldest brother is very busy with official business, and he should not have time to discipline these craftsmen, so I want to share my brother's worries and personally supervise these craftsmen!" ”

"Father has been bothered with these trivial matters lately, why do you really want to go to the hot, dirty, and noisy blacksmith to supervise them?" Xiao Fu asked a little skeptically.

"Yes, I have been following my eldest brother all these years, so I have also learned a lot of experience, and now that I am eighteen years old, it is time to share the worries of my father and eldest brother." Xiao Shan said respectfully according to Xiao Yao's instructions.

"Of course, it is best if you are willing to go to the iron workshop, these craftsmen really have to be disciplined well, without good weapons, how can the soldiers of our Daliang resist foreign enemies, how to defeat Chen Guo and restore the country of our Daliang!" Xiao Fu didn't say a word before he talked about the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, no, it was the anti-Chen Fuliang.

"By the way, there are twelve more, I also want to bring them over, so that it can be easy to discipline." Xiao Shan came out with the main purpose.

"Well, I'll just say to my father, Tong is eating things made by Twelve these days, although Twelve is a bit of a food, but how can our Xiao family children learn these useless things, we really have to discipline him strictly." Xiao Fu erected the majesty of his eldest son again, and said solemnly.
