The five servants carefully lifted up a large table and placed it on the floor. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sasaki looked at the table curiously, it was a relatively delicate Japanese rosewood table, with four legs standing underneath, and the body of the table was square.
The table was not a treasure, but it was covered with a purple silk tablecloth, and underneath that tablecloth was unevenly indentedly revealing something unscrupulous.
"Is this....?" Nantian asked curiously, pointing to the bottom of the tablecloth.
"Here's the good baby I'm going to share with the three of you today." Kimura Ichiro said excitedly: "Now please keep your eyes open and prepare to feast your eyes!" ”
After he finished speaking, he gently picked up the purple silk covering the top of the table with his hand, and when the tablecloth was completely lifted, the ambilight on the table flashed the eyes of all the onlookers for a while.
The transparent glass refracted by the light reflects the light of the format and shines in the sun, and a table of glassware is no less shocking to these Japanese nobles who have never seen glass than to see a rare treasure.
"Wow~..."Everyone let out a sigh, and Nan Tian's mouth grew even bigger, and even saliva was about to flow out.
"This ..... Is this glass? "Sasaki is the most well-informed of them all, but when faced with this kind of transparent glassware, he still can't help but breathe faster and his heart beats, this kind of treasure is simply beautiful!
"Saki-kun has a good eye! This is indeed colored glass, but it was transported here from the distant Central Plains. After receiving everyone's surprise and envy, Kimura Ichiro's self-esteem was obviously greatly satisfied, "These glassware were all fired in the Cangzhou New Song Kingdom in the Central Plains, and they are better than porcelain, and you can even see the appearance of water in the glass jar." ”
"Indeed, tsk, there is such a rare thing in the world." Yamamoto carefully picked up a glass cup, then gently held it up, looking at the glass cup in his hand like a precious artifact, and finally sighed.
"It's... How did you get this glass jar? After seeing this transparent glass cup, Sasaki's eyes revealed a very strong desire to possess, he seemed to immediately have a set of glass cups and glass bowls that were exactly the same as this one, even if he paid more money, he was willing!
"Yes, yes, how did you get this transparent glass cup, I also want to buy a set and put it at home, if you use this cup for daily tea, tsk, it's just a kind of enjoyment!" Nantian couldn't help but say.
"Hehe, it's not a secret, this kind of glass cup, my family in Tokyo City bought it to pay tribute to me, it is said that in Tokyo City, now the price of these glass cups is a hundred times the weight of silver, even so, there are still many nobles vying to buy, it is said that there is not much stock over there, today to show you this kind of treasure, in fact, I also want to tell you, if you want to buy this kind of transparent glass cup baby, but it is too early, when it is late, even if you pay more money, it is estimated that you can't buy it."
When Sasaki heard this, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked quietly: "You tell me the truth, how much money can we pay now to receive such a set immediately?" ”
Kimura Ichiro also lowered his voice and said, "Now if you are willing to spend two hundred times the weight of silver, you should be able to receive a set..."
.......
After only staying in Kimura's mansion for less than a few hours, Nantian, Yamamoto, Sasaki and others left his mansion in a hurry, and then hurried back to their mansion.
Subsequently, the three convoys headed for Tokyo were quickly formed, and with a large number of gold, silver and jewelry, the three convoys quickly drove towards Tokyo....
....
The threshold of the Ota Yuno Mansion was about to be broken.
Every day, many Japanese aristocrats and butlers visit their homes, and the gifts from those who visit almost fill the courtyard of Ota Yuno.
As the news of transparent glass spread more and more, Japanese aristocrats in almost every part of the world now knew that the city of Tokyo was selling this transparent glass cup, and they brought a large amount of gold and silver jewelry, regardless of the price, to buy one and take it home.
This actually makes it very difficult for Yuno Ota to do, because he doesn't have much stock left.
Every day, countless stewards and nobles come to their door to beg to sell them a glass jar, and then give them a generous gift of no small value, and after comparing the richness of these gifts, Ota Yuno will then select the three most valuable gifts and sell them a set of glazed cups, but even so, the goods are still in short supply.
Ota Yuno never thought that a thing could be sold for two hundred times the price of silver, and it was this kind of begging to be sold by others! Don't worry about the magic of not being able to sell yourself!
How incredible, but this really happened, and Ota Yuno can only attribute everything to the glazed cup of the New Song Kingdom.
It is indeed because it is so good, although glass technology has been very mature in later generations, and glass products have become a bad street, but a thousand years ago, when there was no technology of firing glass, transparent glass was still a treasure in the eyes of countless people.
After half a month of selling, in the end, the last batch of glass products was also announced to be sold out, and those nobles who did not buy the glass cup could not buy it again in a short time.
But Ota Yuno was aware of the vast aristocratic market of Japan this time, and this time alone, he had earned 300,000 taels of silver and more than 30,000 taels of gold, and he now intended to use this money to form a larger fleet, and then go to the new Song Kingdom in Cangzhou, and make another larger trade with them.
And this time, he will not be limited to those glazed products, he plans to buy more of those magical goods of the New Song Dynasty, those goods that only sell a few dozen taels in the New Song Dynasty, can be sold for hundreds of thousands of taels in Japan, such a violent industry, Ota Yuno seems to see a broad road paved with gold in front of him.
He began to hire sailors, and those sailors who followed him to sea last time also made a lot of money, and they were also very optimistic about trade with the New Song Kingdom, so the sailors and sailors all broke their heads and wanted to sail Cangzhou again.
Big ships are more troublesome, but when those ship owners heard that they were going to Cangzhou, they finally agreed to the request to sail to sea, and they also saw that Ota Yuno was like a way to make money, and they heard that they could buy this kind of goods by going to Cangzhou, and they were also very willing to try this kind of ocean trade.....
