Chapter 162: Yuan Keli's Suggestion

Almighty Cultivation Supreme

Niu Huang docked the boat he brought by the river, and Su Baiyi brought five or six workers from home, and it took half an hour to unload all the stones and put them by the river.

A small bunch!

It's really just a small bunch!

Ten tons!

Su Baiyi was a little crying and laughing.

Fortunately, there is not a lot of glass produced now, and if it can supply 20,000 catties per month, it is basically enough.

"I'm afraid it won't work next month!" Niu Huang rubbed his hands, and said with a somewhat embarrassed face: "This day is getting colder and colder, and many small waterways north of Huai'an are frozen when I come, and it is estimated that it will be even colder at the end of the year!" ”

"That'll do!"

Su Baiyi looked at the sky and said, "These are enough for me for a while, just send them here next time." He groped out ten taels of silver from his bosom and threw it to the bezoar, and did not leave him to eat: "It's getting colder and colder, you better go back as soon as possible, don't go back when the waterway is frozen at that time." ”

"Little old man is greedy for money!"

Niu Huang happily put away the ten taels of silver, and the three of them arched their hands to Su Baiyi, rocked the boat down the river, and went in the direction of Xuzhou Mansion.

The raw materials are there, the workers are there, and the molds have been made!

Su Baiyi handed over the work of transporting the stones to Fu Lin to handle, and asked him to produce the glass as quickly as possible, and strive to put a batch into the market before the year.

Three days later!

Fu Lin felt a sense of relief when he saw the clouds.

For a long time, he has been pressed by the younger Hou Fangyu, whether it is talent, family background, or even this mission, he has not done as well as Hou Fangyu, but this time, since there are conditions for producing glass, he must do a good job no matter what.

The mold used this time is much better, so the fired glass products are basically in shape.

The walls of the glass cup are thin, about two or three millimeters thick, which is no different from that of later generations.

When the walls of the glass are thinner, not only does the whole cup appear much lighter, but the same weight of glass can produce more cups.

Fu Lin roughly calculated, after a hundred catties of stone is burned and melted, the impurities are removed, and about ninety-five catties of pure glass can be obtained, which cannot be said to be zero loss, but this loss rate is indeed very low.

"Not bad!"

Su Baiyi rubbed the glass that had just been baked, not to mention the clarity and crystal clearness, and there was not much difference from those in later generations. A traditional character "elm" protrudes from the bottom, which is a good interpretation of the brand of emerging items.

"This is the second product of our Yuyuan!" Su Baiyi's eyes were also full of expectation.

With glass, more things can be further processed to come out.

Dressing mirrors, cups, vases, telescopes, microscopes, optical instruments, etc., can be tried to produce one by one after the conditions permit, glass, not only a product, can be made into an industrial empire.

Because of the simplicity of the production process, the sale of glass products was quickly realized.

Fu Lin and Hou Fangyu rented a store on Xiaoqi Street, and the name of the listing was "Yuge", and there were only two things sold in it for the time being, one was soap, and the other was glass.

In the beginning, people didn't know that glass was sold in Yukaku, because there was only one product here: soap.

But one day, when the customer arrived at Yuge, he was immediately stunned by the contents on the shelves behind the counter.

Rows of shelves, originally all neatly placed on them were soap.

But today, the soap was taken out and put aside, and the other side was filled with this shiny thing.

"What's that?" A maid from a large family asked, pointing to the glass on the counter.

"Teacups!" The job replied easily, and by the way, he took out a cup from the table behind him, gently put it on the counter and said, "Isn't it much better than a tea bowl for drinking tea?" ”

"Really?"

The maid touched the cup, a little in love, her eyes were attracted by the shiny thing in front of her, and she played for a while before asking, "Is this thing for sale?" ”

"Sell!" When things are put out, they are naturally sold.

"How much does this kind of cup cost?"

"One hundred wen!"

"Ah...... So expensive? "Even the maids of large families feel that this cup is expensive.

Indeed, one hundred wen a glass cup is equivalent to spending fifty or sixty yuan to buy a glass in later generations, and he must feel that he has spent money unjustly.

But the positioning of this thing was not for ordinary people from the beginning.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Several workers came over with window fans equipped with flat glass, and went up to take down the old windows of Yuge and replace them with translucent glass windows.

Flat glass is also a thing that was fired this time!

However, because the process is not mature enough, the flat glass produced is not as smooth as imagined, and there are some ripples on it, and there is a sense of unreal illusion when looking at people through the glass.

However, it is enough to use it as window glass just for better transparency.

"Here, buy me ten!"

This is the Guide Mansion of this era, and the most important thing is the rich.

I don't know whose son-in-law or housekeeper ran to the elm pavilion, and as soon as he made a move, he threw a tael of silver on the table.

He smiled and said, "Wait a minute," turned around, and took out ten glasses from the counter.

Ten octagonal cups, exactly the same size and shape.

If a cup just looks a little beautiful and people can't put it down, then these ten identical cups are put together, and the force instantly improves.

In fact, the glass produced by Fu Lin is not sold by piece, but by weight.

One pound of glass can make about five octagonal cups, and the price of raw materials and labor is almost 20 yuan.

But five glasses can fetch a high price of 500 yuan.

In this way, the ratio of cost to gross profit is 1:25.

Six sets of furnaces are produced at the same time, and almost 600 catties of glass products can be produced in a day.

In a month, the 20,000 catties of quartz sent by the bezoar can be used up, 500 yuan per catty, and 20,000 catties are about 10,000 taels of silver.

"If we don't worry about sales, we can earn 10,000 taels a month, excluding labor and materials, and the net profit is more than 9,000 taels. It's much stronger than Hou Fangyu's rabbit cub! ”

"Don't worry, Boss Fu, since Mr. said that sales are not a problem, then it must not be a problem!"

Although the price of glass is a little more expensive, Su Baiyi is still not worried about sales.

For the hair?

Scarcity is expensive!

The Ming Dynasty had two capitals and thirteen provinces, how many rich people were there? How many large families are there? How many people are in urgent need of pretending but not pretending to be coerced?

Lao Tzu has sent you a unique weapon, will you resist?

Of course, the pretending weapon is also divided into four levels: "heaven, earth, Xuan, and yellow", and the glass is just a yellow-level pretending item, and the real ground level and the heavenly level, then I don't know how much higher it is.

For example, the double-walled glass that Su Baiyi was holding in his hand.

The cup is half filled with Lu'an melon slices, holding the cup and shaking it slightly, the tender green bud tea is clustered in the water as a whole, and when the cup stops, all the pointed ends are facing upward, like spring bamboo shoots that have just come out of the ground in spring!

This is the so-called ornamental tea in later generations!

"How?"

He placed the cup on the table, and the white winter sunlight filtered through, revealing the water and tea inside.

"This is, thermos!" Zhou Shipu's eyes widened as he looked at the cup on the table.

Yuan Keli lay on the Taishi chair and basked in the sun without care.

"Yes!"

This is the thermos cup.

The thermos cup made by Su Baiyi is very ugly!

First of all, there are two layers of glass barrels inside and outside, and the hot joints are seams, but the seams are a little nondescript.

There is no modern vacuuming equipment at hand, so it can only be evacuated manually.

Therefore, a small mouth is left at the bottom of the glass, which is covered with a rubber sleeve, and then glued with high-strength glue after vacuuming. The bottom is not very flat.

To put it bluntly, one cup is the same, not as regular as an octagonal cup.

"You kid, you have a lot of thoughts about these ghosts!" Zhou Shipu nodded his head and laughed!

Su Baiyi took out another one from the box he was carrying, and said, "Isn't it to honor your old man?" ”

Zhou Shipu took the cup, smiled from ear to ear, and when he saw a note posted on the inner and outer walls of the two layers of glass, his eyes suddenly widened.

Because on the note was written his words: Danqi.

"It's not good, but it can keep you warm for an hour in this winter!"

The vacuum cups of later generations were still hot after four or five hours, and the cups he made were relatively rough, first, the lid was not kept warm, and second, the vacuum was not cleaned.

But being able to keep warm for an hour is also remarkable.

"Huh!" Yuan Keli saw that Zhou Shipu had a cup, and his name was still written on it, and he was not calm for a moment, he straightened up his body from the Taishi chair, blew his beard and said, "Okay, Su boy, where is Lao Tzu's cup?" ”

Su Baiyi smiled slyly and said, "How can this kind of thing be missing your old man?" After speaking, he took out an identical cup from the box and put it in front of Yuan Keli.

There is also a note in the middle of the cup, on which is written the word "Jiehuan".

Looking at Yuan Keli's outstretched hand, Su Baiyi's honest face smiled even better, and he arched his hand and said: "Chenghui is five taels of silver, two are ten taels a piece, I don't know who of the two adults will pay the bill." ”

Yuan Keli's face twitched, and he said, "Good boy, do business on my old man's head." ”

"I'm going to eat too!" Su Baiyi spread his hands: "It costs money to build Yuyuan anywhere, there is no way!" ”

"Forget it, give us this cup!" Zhou Shipu smiled and said: "I discussed it with Yuan Junmen, aren't you building a academy, we can't help but say that Cheng Kaikai has donated 50,000 taels of silver, and our old man is not as rich as him, so each person recognizes 2,000 taels, and he has done his best!" ”

"Yo, thank you so much!" Su Baiyi suddenly smiled on his face!

"In addition, the old man is sending you a piece of advice!" Yuan Keli put the quilt on the table, and his face became more serious than ever. <
