Chapter 20 Shoes That Can't Be Bought

The magical treasure mirror of "Dafeng", with the news from various merchants, soon became famous in the aristocratic circle in Sichuan, but everyone who has seen the mirror with their own eyes is amazed, there is such a magical treasure in the world! There is a poem as proof:

"The image of the object is the mirror of the Qin Dynasty,

It's not as good as a flawless foot of the sky.

This mirror should be in heaven only,

The immortals accidentally left the mortal world. ”

As a result, the name of "Flawless Mirror" gradually spread, as for the glass that Guo Dalu said!

Liuli has heard of it, what is glass? How can there be a "flawless mirror" that gives people the feeling of being tall!

In fact, the business of "Dafeng" is really not much, Guo Dalu's positioning of the business determines that there can be no frequent business transactions, all of which are high-end goods, and ordinary small households dare not enter the door. Since Mr. Guo made more than 200,000 taels of silver from the opening, he has never sold anything else, but he has bought a lot, so he has always been relatively idle.

But since the reputation of "Flawless Mirror" came out, the store has really been like a market, with an endless stream of people coming in and out, and waves of people coming one after another, all of whom are big families.

At first, Mr. Guo couldn't laugh, all the visitors were super warmly received, but he couldn't laugh after a few days, and he didn't even bother to do the superficial work of reception. Without him, they all came to see the mirror and buy things, and there was no one.

This provokes the temperament of the little landlord of Master Guo, since they are all here to see the excitement, then they are not considered to be the customers who buy things, don't waste my family's good tea, come and go, don't bother to pay attention to you!

However, you don't want to ignore others, but when others come to the door to ignore you, Master Guo can't ignore others.

On this morning, a guest dressed as a housekeeper in his thirties came, who named and wanted to find the shopkeeper Guo, and asked the guys in the store to report quickly, and said that the "Shu Wangfu" was coming, and there was something important to discuss.

The arrogant look of the person who came, and the origin of the "Shu Wangfu" in his mouth, frightened Xiao Er to report to the master in a panic.

Listening to the "Shu Wangfu", Master Guo did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly set off from home to the shop.

As soon as I arrived at the store, I saw this person sitting there drinking tea steadily, and Master Guo hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Distinguished guests come to the door, the little old man is late, forgive your sins."

"You're the shopkeeper of this shop?" The person who came sat firmly, neither got up nor returned the salute, and asked arrogantly with a slanted glance.

"Well, exactly. I don't know what the honorable guest commands? ”

Master Guo's posture was very low, and he stood there and replied, no way, for a small landowner in the countryside, the name of "Shu Wangfu" is too big, and the difference between heaven and earth is completely unattainable, and instinctively can't straighten his waist.

"So that the shopkeeper learned that I am the manager of the foreign affairs room of the "Shu Wangfu", and I came today for nothing else, just one thing, about the "flawless mirror" sold by your family, has been selected as a tribute by the prince of my family, and will be transported to the capital to be dedicated to His Majesty. ”

As he spoke, he took out a roll of brocade silk from his arms and handed it to Guo Da.

"This is the document of your family's "Flawless Mirror" being selected as a tribute, signed by the prince himself, Guo Shopkeeper, this is a great honor, congratulations! ”

The mirror of his own house was selected as a tribute, which is of course a great honor, Guo Landlord's face was flushed with excitement, his hands trembled like crazy, and he finally took the document into his hand and held it steadily.

I opened it and looked at it, it was indeed a document from the "Shu Wangfu", the big seal of the Shu Wangfu, and the private seal of Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, was complete, which could not be fake, Guo Dake didn't believe that anyone in Sichuan dared to privately fake the name of the King of Shu to deceive.

"Xiaomin deeply feels the love of the prince, this is to ask the man to put away the mirrors, your steward, how do you see this handing over this matter?"

"The handover is a trivial matter, and I have to ask in advance, how much inventory does your family's "Flawless Mirror" have? What will be the monthly supply after that? ”

"The steward of Huizun learned that there are 45 mirrors in the small house, 47 of which have been sold before, and 7 to 10 can be supplied every three months."

"Oh, why is this supply undecided?"

"It is not easy to manufacture, it is extremely difficult to control, according to the child, the mirror-making process is extremely cumbersome, the process requirements are extremely high, and the mirror will be broken if you are not careful, and even repair is impossible, so the number of finished products is sometimes more and less."

"Oh, no wonder, I don't know where your mirror-making workshop is? Can you show me? ”

"This, Xiaomin really doesn't know, this mirror is from Xiao'er, Xiaomin just sells, as for how it came, Xiaomin really doesn't know, please forgive me."

"That's it, the steward is just a momentary curiosity, but your family must deliver the goods to the palace on time, just ten sides every three months, you put away the "flawless mirror" now, and the steward will bring someone to pull it away in the afternoon. ”

"Okay, okay, no problem, please rest assured, Xiaomin will do it well."

"So good, the steward will take his leave, and will not give it away."

As soon as the steward of the palace left, Master Guo began to calculate how much money he received, and now his own mirror is a tribute, thinking that the emperor is using his own mirror to look like a whole dress, the ancestral tomb of the Guo family is estimated to be full of smoke at this time.

After a whole busy work, all the mirrors stored at home were moved to the store, and the palace steward came to pick up the goods in the afternoon.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the steward of the palace came as scheduled, and came with dozens of people and eight carts, after greetings, he first counted the number of mirrors, forty-five sides and one side was not a lot, and then checked whether the mirrors were damaged, and they were all in good condition, and the steward ordered his subordinates to start packing the car, and then handed Guo Da a receipt.

Master Guo was a little stunned at the time, this plot seems to be wrong, shouldn't it be a silver deal? How to get a white strip!

Looking at the contents of the receipt again, Mr. Guo was anxious on the spot.

Five hundred taels, the mirror collected by the "Shu Wangfu" according to the tribute was calculated for the Guo family five hundred taels, and the silver had to wait for the emperor's reward to be paid to the Guo family.

Needless to say, Master Guo's mood at this time, the steward was still in heaven before he took out the receipt, and he went directly to hell after the receipt was taken out, just like that, he didn't fall over on the spot thanks to Master Guo's strong body.

"Respect for stewards, respect for stewards, can't be counted like this, my family will be bankrupt like this..."

"What's the matter? You're not satisfied, what do you want! I want to rebel! Think clearly, this is a tribute! Do you know what a tribute is? Yes! It was a tribute to the emperor, which is equivalent to saying that this mirror was bought by the emperor from your family, so I will ask you, how much money does your family want to earn from the emperor? The steward turned his face as soon as he could, and scolded Guo Da for a while.

"It's... This... But this money is not enough! ”

"Don't tell this to the steward, I haven't told you about the sale of so many "Flawless Mirrors" in your family before, how much money do you say your family earned? Now you tell me the capital! Be careful, I spit on you, your face is light. Hum! ”

"This..."

Master Guo's brain can't turn this corner, what does the money from selling mirrors before have to do with the current mirrors?

"Shopkeeper Guo, always remember to "be loyal to the monarch and serve the country", otherwise you will regret it one day. ”

"Poof."

Landlord Guo was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.

"Master, master..."The guy in the store hurriedly came over to help.

"Have you loaded the car? Let's go. The steward of the palace glanced at him, turned around and left.

Master Guo was carried home, and he couldn't get out of bed, Yan hurriedly invited Lang Zhong to cry, and sent someone back to Guo Village to tell the eldest young master that something had happened, come quickly.

Lang Zhong invited him to come for a diagnosis, and he prescribed a prescription at the moment, and told Yan that the patient needed to recuperate and not be angry again, otherwise the consequences would be worrying.

The family galloped wildly, ran back to Guo Village in half a day, and hurriedly looked for the eldest young master, but when he asked Guo Shou, the young master was not there, and he didn't know where he went.

That's how it can be good.

Guo Shou was also shocked after listening to the reason for what the family told him, and quickly stopped the carpenter's production, and put them all home, and he couldn't come again if he didn't have to summon them, and asked the family to continue to work hard, and quickly went back to Fucheng to return to Mrs., and said that the young master was not at home for the time being, and when the young master came back, he would inform the young master as soon as possible, and asked Mrs. to stabilize the situation at home.

At night, Guo Shou threw Guo Dalu alone in the courtyard and the pile of mirrors, all of which were moved to a cellar under a remote vegetable and hidden.

Then, like the whole family, they were all flustered and hoping that the young master would come home early.

After waiting for more than ten days, Guo Dalu came back refreshed, and the effect of the exercise was really good.

Seeing Guo Dalu, Guo Shou immediately howled: "Young master, why did you come back!" My lord is sick, what can I do now..."

"What a howl! What's wrong with the master? ”

"The old man is sick."

"I'm sick, wasn't it good to see it last time, why is this sick, what kind of disease?"

"No, the master is sick by popularity."

"! Who made the old man angry? Look for death! ”

"That's ......"

After listening to what Guo Shou said, Guo Dalu waved his hand, "You go down first, I want to talk about it." Then a man sat down in a chair and pondered silently.
