Zheng Yu strictly followed the manufacturing process, and after countless trials and trials of failure, restart, failure, and repetition, he finally succeeded in making a glass cup when the materials were about to run out. After waiting for the long dewarming process. Zheng Yu couldn't wait to take it in his hand and observe it carefully, the glass with residual temperature was crystal clear, without a trace of variegation, and the walls of the cup were thin and uniform. A light flick makes a crisp sound that is intoxicating. Mr. Gou and Zheng Tai guarded the left and right, for fear that Zheng Yu would fall if he made a mistake.

"Uncle Yuanshan, write down the detailed process and specific material ratio, is it calcination time?"

"Mmmm, not a single detail has been left behind." Mr. Gou replied excitedly.

"The record was put in order, hidden, and everything else, including the original, was burned. Zheng Tai, what does this thing represent, I think you know very well, and I will give it to you for protection. Zheng Yu handed over the formula to Zheng Tai for safekeeping. Eggs cannot be placed in one basket.

"Don't worry, fourth brother, I will protect it with my life." Zheng Tai replied with a serious face.

The three of them made three glass beads from the remaining liquid glass, which was not enough to make a cup. After doing this, everything was ruined. Leaving Zheng Xing and Mr. Gou, he took Zheng Tai and Zheng Ying back home in front of the gate of the city. When Zheng Ying saw the glass beads, she grabbed one with Zheng Yu. Hey, women are always not resistant to shiny things, and girls are no exception. I don't know what she'd think if she told her that it wasn't worth a penny.

Zheng Yu does not plan to cooperate with the Liu family in the glass business, because now the eldest son Liu Shiren is in control of the Liu family's business, Zheng Yu is not familiar with him, looking at the virtue of Liu Yun's wife, it is estimated that Liu Shiren's character is not good. This kind of super profiteering thing is easy to make people lustful, and when the time comes, it will destroy the relationship between the two families, and it will be a bit more than worth the loss. Zheng Yu doesn't care about money, he cares about Liu Yun's uncle's kindness to him. Besides, a man in the ironware business who let him play with jewelry? He can't play it for a while.

Early the next morning, Zheng Yu filled the glass in a wooden box, called Zheng Tai, and went straight to the largest jewelry store in the capital, Zangjin Pavilion. When he came to the Golden Pavilion, Zheng Yu was greeted by a guy as soon as he entered the door. The things in Zheng Yu's hands are now unique in the world, and the two glasses in the palace are of a defective grade compared to this. So there's no need to play any tricks to get away with it, just get straight to the point.

"Do you have anyone in the store who has the final say? I want to sell something. ”

The rich boy who came to sell the jewelry in the pawn has seen a lot, and he has long been used to it, so he regarded Zheng Yu as one of them, said "Wait a minute", and turned around and went upstairs. For a moment, I thought I had come down with an old man. The man went to take care of himself, and the old man stepped forward and bowed his hand.

"The old Mai Jia is confused, Tian is the shopkeeper of the store, and the son is you have a treasure for sale?"

"Exactly, can the old gentleman find a quiet place to talk in detail?" Zheng Yu thinks that the proprietor of this store is also a strange thing, and he sells fakes to be the big shopkeeper, and he really doesn't know how to be the biggest in Beijing. There are no wonders about the size of the world.

Shopkeeper Mai squinted, rubbed his goatee and said, "Can this son take out the treasure and let the old man take a look?" Let's talk about the specific price? The meaning is obvious, I want to see if Zheng Yu's baby is worth his time.

Hearing this, Zheng Yu took out the remaining two glass balls from a delicate little bag, picked one up and handed it to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper of Mai first stared, then put it in the sun to look carefully, and then picked up a crystal polished magnifying glass to observe carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more solemn his expression was. After a while, he said to Zheng Yu with a very respectful attitude: "Sir, please come with me, my son will serve tea, and the first-class Biluochun." ”

Coming to a private room on the second floor, the shopkeeper Mai said: "Childe, if this thing is a good guess, it should be a glass from overseas, right?" ”

Hehe, this wheat shopkeeper can do it, and even the source has been thought of for me. Zheng Yu opened his mouth and said: "Shopkeeper Mai's discernment, this is indeed a glass product from overseas. ”

The shopkeeper continued: "As far as the old man knows, this glass is extremely difficult to make, and the finished product is mostly transparent with some turquoise. I look at Childe's beads, but they are crystal clear without a trace of variegation, can Childe tell me if there are only two of them? ”

Zheng Yu smiled: "There are only two beads. As he spoke, he took the wooden box from Zheng Tai's hand, opened the lid and pushed it to the Mai shopkeeper and continued: "There is also a cup."

The moment the shopkeeper saw the glass, he stood up with a rub, took out a pair of leather gloves from his arms, which were anti-slip, and gently picked up the cup and raised it in front of the window, looking at it carefully.

After looking at it for a while, he walked back to his seat, gently put the cup into the box, thought for a while and said, "Childe's surname?" ”

"Don't be surnamed Zheng, Zheng Yu."

Shopkeeper Mai thought about it for a long time, but he didn't remember which noble son in the capital was surnamed Zheng. I was sure that this was a foreigner, who came to do business. Since you don't steal things from home, you won't get into trouble after you collect them.

"Zheng Gongzi, what do you want to sell for?"

Zheng Yu thought about the information he checked, although the glass at the end of the Ming Dynasty was quite expensive, but it was not ridiculously expensive, the two cups in the palace, according to Mr. Gou's description, the market price should be eight hundred taels, and his own condition is better, so it will be two hundred taels more expensive, and the asking price is one thousand taels. So he stretched out a finger.

The shopkeeper was shocked: "Ten thousand taels?? Zheng Gongzi, this ..... This is a bit of a high exaggeration, this cup is quite rare, but it will definitely not reach such a high price, the shop will give a maximum of two thousand taels, otherwise Zheng Gongzi please find another place. ”

Zheng Yu almost flashed his waist. Xin said: "Lao Tzu wants a thousand taels, you give two thousand taels, I look like I am selling fakes." He quickly spoke

"Deal!! I bought this cup from a friend who was doing business overseas, and now I have this one, and if your shop sells it, I would like to provide ten pieces of glass of the same quality every month. As for whether it is an ornament or a utensil, it can be customized in advance. What does Shopkeeper Mak think? "The cost of glass products is low, the price is extremely high, and ordinary people can't afford it, so they can only take the high-end route, and hunger sales can always maintain high profits.

Ten are sold every month, that is, 20,000 taels per month, and this income will be stable for a long time to come. 20,000 taels per month, the early farm construction is basically enough, and the rest will be taken slowly.
