After what happened just now, Meng Tianchu thought of a question, although he is very tough now, he is penniless, and he always has to find a place to stay, so it is better to agree to them first, go to Suzhou to work as a shop buddy for a while, and then find something suitable for him to do.

After thinking about it, Meng Tianchu arched his hand and said: "Since Brother Taixian and his wife have warmly invited, the younger brother will not agree, but it is a bit pretentious." ”

Mrs. Qin smiled, her eyes lit up with joy, and she turned to Qin Yiyun and said, "Great! Brother Meng agreed. ”

Qin Yiyun smiled and said, "Yes...... yes, that's good......"

Meng Tianchu didn't seem to be particularly energetic when he heard his words, obviously forced by his wife's pressure and reluctantly agreed. Meng Tianchu thought to himself, it seems that this Qin Yiyun doesn't really want to work in his shop, he is afraid that he also knows that his lady is a Fengliu character, and he has fallen in love with himself who is quite handsome, for fear that he will cuckold him, and selling clothes just now is also the idea of the young lady Fengliu.

Thinking of this, Meng Tianchu's heart sank, in this way, I am afraid that it is not a long-term solution in their store, and when he arrives in Suzhou, he has to find a way to gain another foothold as soon as possible. The top priority is to get some money, and if you don't have any money, you can't get it hard.

In the evening, the carriage came to a small county town and found an inn to stay. Xia Fengyi and their carriage also entered the inn, Feiyan jumped out of the car, glanced at Meng Tianchu, and wanted to speak, but saw that the courtyard of the inn was full of people, in case Meng Tianchu wanted to hurt them with words, then he couldn't get off the stage.

As if he didn't see them, Meng Tianchu unloaded his forensic physical evidence investigation box from the carriage, took it to the corner of the wall, turned his back to it so that no one could see it, and then opened it and looked at the equipment, instruments and reagents inside to see what could be sold. At a glance, I saw a few glass test tubes, and my heart moved, this is transparent glass, which should not have appeared in ancient times, and may be able to sell it at a good price.

Meng Tianchu took a test tube and put it in his arms, handed over the forensic evidence investigation box to Lao He Tou for safekeeping, and said to Qin Yiyun that he was going to go for a walk on the street.

Mrs. Qin hurriedly said: "Brother Meng, it's so late now, the sun is about to set, where are you going." ”

"Just walk around and come back in a while!"

"Then I'll go with you! I'm about to go out on the street to buy rouge. Mrs. Qin said eagerly.

"No, no, no!" Meng Tianchu thought to himself, this Mrs. Qin is enthusiastic, although she is not a decent gentleman, but after all, her husband is next to her, so it is better not to eat this kind of nestside grass.

Meng Tianchu said as he fled and walked quickly. Mrs. Qin chased after her for a few steps, and even called him, but he pretended not to hear it.

This county is close to the capital, and it is relatively prosperous, and there are many pedestrians on the streets. Meng Tianchu walked along a main street, looking for a place to sell antique utensils. On the road, he saw a few pawnshops, but he had a bad impression of the pawnshops, those are places where people eat people and don't spit out bones, they can't be sold for a good price, and they don't have time to come back to redeem them.

After walking a few streets, I finally found a decent antique ware shop and walked in.

The shop guy looked Meng Tianchu up and down, although the robe Qin Yiyun sold him was a little bit unfitable, but the material style was quite good, so the shop guy greeted him very warmly and asked, "This guest officer, do you buy antiques?" Please feel free to take a look. ”

Meng Tianchu looked around and asked, "Do you accept antique utensils?" ”

This kind of store generally sells and buys bought, and the shopkeeper laughs and says, "Collect!" Harvest! Of course! Please sit in the middle of the room! The shopkeeper let Meng Tianchu into a small room and sat down on the Taishi chair. He asked, "What are you selling?" ”

Meng Tianchu took out the glass test tube from his arms and carefully placed it on the coffee table: "Look at it, how much is this worth?" ”

The shop guys in this antique shop were very attentive and didn't dare to reach out and touch the customer's things, so they bent down with their hands behind their backs, took a closer look, and with a sigh, their head bent lower, almost on the test tube, Meng Tianchu could see that his body was trembling slightly, but he was trying to restrain himself. After a while, he tried to control his voice without trembling, and asked carefully: "Guest officer, ...... you You little thing...... How much do you want to sell? ”

Meng Tianchu lifted the front of his robe, crossed Erlang's legs, and said leisurely: "Listen to your price first, if it is suitable, it will be traded, if it is not suitable, I am looking for another house, anyway, this place is not far from the capital, it is a big deal to sell it in the capital." ”

"Hehe, guest officer, this is still a day's journey from the capital, our antique shop is the number one in this county, and the price given is absolutely fair......"

"That's fine! It's getting dark, I have something else to do, hurry up, give a price. ”

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, secretly glanced at Meng Tianchu's face, and said stubbornly: "Siguan!" What do you think? ”

Meng Tianchu was about to smile in his heart, this glass test tube is worth a few cents at most in modern society, and in the Ming Dynasty, the price is four copper coins! Yesterday, when I read "The Law of the Ming Dynasty", Meng Tianchu once asked Lao He Tou about the current price situation, and compared the prices of daily foods such as rice in the Ming Dynasty and modern society, and concluded that the approximate ratio of the silver price in the Ming Dynasty and the conversion of RMB in modern society is that one tael of silver is equal to one thousand yuan, and one penny is equal to one yuan of yuan. Of course, one hanging is one hundred Wen, that is, one hundred yuan. It has always been a thousand Wen, which is equivalent to one tael of silver.

Therefore, the shop guy offered four copper coins, which is equivalent to 4,000 yuan.

A glass test tube worth a few cents, when it was taken to the Ming Dynasty, the price was 4,000 yuan, how could it not make Meng Tianchu smile in his heart.

It is no wonder that although ancient China mastered the manufacturing process of glaze very early, glaze has always been exclusive to the royal family since ancient times, and there are extremely strict grade requirements for users, so it is rare for the people. By the Ming Dynasty, the glaze technology had been basically lost. However, even the very incomplete craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty is still protected by the grade, and the glass at that time was already very impermeable, so it was called medicinal jade. According to the records of the "Ming System", the ornament awarded by the emperor to the champion is medicinal jade, and it is only available above the fourth grade.

The West invented glass mirrors as early as the Middle Ages, and was ahead of us in the manufacture of glass, especially transparent glass, and it was not until the Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty that China introduced the transparent glass production process and began to produce transparent glass on a large scale.

So when this guy saw this crystal clear glass test tube, it was really like seeing a treasure.
