Led the two into the cabin and led them to the living room to sit down. However, the two of them also entered the city with dirt buns, and they felt that they couldn't see anything. However, out of the cultivation of scholars, the two of them held back and didn't get up to touch everywhere.

Zhao Xiang didn't ask Zhao Di to come in and boil the water by himself.

"Brother Zhao Xiang, why does your kettle boil without fire?" Gan Zhe finally couldn't hold it back, the place where he sat was closer to the kettle, the glass kettle was placed on a black induction cooker, as an ancient, he only felt that this was like the legendary immortal weapon.

"This is too complicated, three or two sentences are not clear, and the principle alone can write several books."

Li Yuanguang also wanted to ask, but Gan Zhe opened his mouth first, so he had to ask: "Is this a crystal pot or a glass pot?" ”

Zhao Xiang smiled: "It's not, glass pot." Do you think this thing can be sold? ”

"Absolutely! Compared to those purple clay pots and copper kettles, this object is simply ingenious, so this short table is also made of glass? Can you provide the source? ”

Zhao Xiang took out the tea set from under the coffee table again, and this time it was different from the tea set that he had entertained Zhao Gongsu last time, it was a pair of glass products.

In terms of quality and quality, this tea set is actually just the most ordinary and fully transparent, and it is only an ordinary commodity on the market for dozens of yuan. The reason why Zhao Xiang put it here was that he didn't buy a good one at the earliest, so he bought it on the Internet and put it away - at that time, he just felt that the shock of glass products to the ancients must be great, so there was no need to spend too much money.

If there is any difference between it and ordinary glass products, it is that it will not crack due to drastic changes in temperature.

That's all.

Li Yuanguang stared at the glass tea set: "Brother Zhao Xiang, can I pick it up and take a look?" ”

Zhao Xiang smiled and nodded, it seems that this kid has been tricked. I don't believe it, the travelers all over the world relied on glass products to complete their primitive accumulation in ancient times, and the magic is that those people still made their own!

Can you make glass yourself? Zhao Xiang thought it was impossible. He vaguely remembered that the raw materials of the glass were lime, quartz sand and soda ash, but he did not know what the proportion was. Lime can be solved, but where does quartz sand and soda ash come from?

What is Quartz Sand? It is estimated that most people don't know, Zhao Xiang, as an ordinary person, doesn't know at all, anyway, the sand contains quartz, but he will never be naïve to think that sand can be made into glass, if that is the boatload of quartz sand seen on the dock before, there is no need to be imported, and there will be a pump in the stream?

Where does soda ash come from? Not to mention the preparation of soda ash, Zhao Xiang's only remaining chemical knowledge can't even write the chemical formula of soda ash.

This is only the most basic raw materials, Zhao Xiang deliberately checked on the Internet, modern glass raw materials are not only these three things, such as the glass tea set that pours boiling water in a frozen state in front of you without cracking, and the raw materials are not found by this non-stakeholder.

Therefore, from the beginning, Zhao Xiang never considered making his own glass!

The light in the eyes of the black fat man Li Yuanguang when he looked at the glass was different from the light in the eyes of the young man Gan Zhe. Li Yuanguang's eyes seemed to be mountains of gold and silver, while Gan Zhe saw only a delicate handicraft.

"Can you really provide such a source?" Li Yuanguang confirmed with Zhao Xiang again.

"No problem. How much and how much to have. Zhao Xiang smiled, "But how much do you think the price is appropriate?" ”

Li Yuanguang pondered for a moment and said: "Rare things are expensive, if the quantity is small, it is naturally a treasure, if the quantity is large, the price will not go up." ”

"I can't see it, you're pretty business-minded. Let's put it this way, glass is not going to make it a treasure, but it is by no means accessible to ordinary people. So ten such bowls, one or two gold, only gold trade, of course, jade antiques are also allowed, do not accept copper coins, treasure money and silver. ”

"Poof!" Gan Zhe just drank a small sip of tea in his mouth and squirted out: "You're not wrong, such a bowl, a penny of gold?" Why don't you grab it! ”

Zhao Xiang looked at Li Yuanguang: "Is it expensive?" ”

Li Yuanguang nodded: "Expensive!" It's going to be a lot of money all the time, but it can be sold. ”

Of course, it can be sold, Zhao Xiang is still a little confident in this: "It's a little more expensive, but the supply will not be unlimited, there is only one in the world, and others can't do it if they want to." ”

The black fat man smiled hesitantly: "I think so too, so in fact, I thought you would say a tael of gold at first, but Brother Zhao Xiang, I can understand if you don't accept treasure money, you don't accept copper coins and silver, why?" ”

Zhao Xiang explained to Zhao Gongsilk again: "It takes gold to make this thing, and it is necessary to buy it with gold, so it can only be traded with gold, of course, if there are jade antiques and the like, I can also take the gold to purchase it myself." ”

Gan Zhe was speechless, as a scholar, and he was sure that the three people here were all scholars, but he had to listen to the other two scholars talking about the merchant and the market vendor, which was very inconsistent with his values, and he couldn't help but complain: "Can you two not talk about this in front of me?" ”

Both nodded at the same time: "Oh, good! ”

Zhao Xiang stretched out his hand, the black fat man didn't know what it meant, he also stretched out his hand, and the fat hand was held by Zhao Xiang: "In this way, when my house here is built another day, you come over again, let's talk alone." By the way, there's one more thing, that's the point. Come with me. ”

Mirror!

A delicate mirror!

Didn't there be mirrors in the Southern Song Dynasty? Yes! Bronze mirror.

Did the bronze mirror of the Southern Song Dynasty shine very poorly? No!

The bronze mirror in ancient China is not as bad as in film and television dramas - the props team of the pit father always casually fools the director who is not particular about the props, so the audience in front of the screen always sees a distorted and deformed beautiful face, and this pot has to be carried by the props team.

In fact, Zhao Xiang can see from Chunyang's reaction that the effect of modern mirrors is not much better than that of ancient times, and Chunyang's evaluation is very simple: "It looks very clear, no worse than the copper mirror, but the image is transparent and not yellow, which is better than the copper mirror." ”

The bronze mirror is not illuminated clearly, but it is just yellowed!

Each place has a special copper mirror polishing master, walking the streets and alleys to do business. Of course, they also have the ability to sharpen scissors and kitchen knives, and also supplement casseroles, water tanks and so on, one shoulder with multiple functions. Later, the reason why only scissors and kitchen knives were left was only because of the popularization of glass mirrors and the disappearance of copper mirrors.

After all, the copper mirror will rust, and if it is not polished regularly, the effect will naturally be poor. Of course, the effect depends on the craftsmanship of different masters. A good master can make an image close to a glass mirror, but what about a bad one? It is estimated that they all entered the props team of film and television dramas later.

Therefore, when Zhao Xiang introduced the bronze mirror to Li Yuanguang, he only focused on the two points of no polishing and maintenance and no yellowing of the color, as for the rest, Zhao Xiang felt that even if he didn't explain much, they could also understand it.
