Chapter 55: Grinding the Mirror

Rumble......

The crowd suddenly became chaotic, and people looked at Hu Lin in disbelief, knowing Hu Lin's character, but they didn't believe it would be true in their hearts. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Some people think that maybe Mr. Zhu Qian is kind-hearted and can't look over to speak for that person? But some people think that although Mr. Zhu Qian is kind-hearted, he is not the kind of person who does not abide by the law, and it is impossible to do such a thing that he does not care about because of pity.

"How is that possible? Where would there be such glass? ”

"yes, look at the glass...... No, the color of this fire crystal, this translucent, such a large block, there are not many bubbles. Do you see if it's the color of grass or leaves? ”

Hu Lin smiled and said, "Coincidentally, our trading company has just purchased a batch of such glass, and the carriage is in front, you might as well take a look!" ”

As he spoke, a carriage came in the distance, with rows of wooden shelves piled up on it, and the words "Nan'an County Private Glass Factory" were written in ink on the wooden shelves.

When they got closer, everyone immediately surrounded them, looking at such glass and being amazed.

Although each piece is not as good as the one that was broken just now, it is also worthy of almost these three words, generous, crystal clear, almost no bubbles and no such strange color.

Hu Lin shouted, and several employees of the trading company unloaded the glass from the carriage, lifted it up and shouted, "Look at this glass!" ”

Seeing this, the two people who seemed to be slanderers before turned around and were about to slip away, but they were caught by the sheriff and shouted, "Okay, I'll just say how can you have such an expensive thing?" ”

The two men sneered, "This...... Uh, isn't this a lack of money, we want to get some money, in fact, we don't want 10,000 silver coins, and we know that he can't get it, so we think about getting dozens of flowers......"

Everyone burst into laughter, and the man who smashed the glass was reborn, thanking Hu Lin incessantly. Although Hu Lin knew that this was Chen Jian's so-called "advertisement", he was still a little embarrassed on his face.

The sheriff asked, "Mr. Zhu Qian, how much does your glass cost?" Although it is blackmailed by the social rat, this money still has to be lost, one yard to one yard. ”

Hu Lin smiled and stretched out his finger and said, "Didn't I say it?" Five silver coins are such a large piece, and the trading company sells as many as you want. ”

Onlookers couldn't help but think that five silver coins was a lot, and they didn't know exactly what the price of the glass was.

But Li Kuo, who was on the side, couldn't help but ask, "How much?" Five silver coins? Brother Zhu, don't talk nonsense, even those green pieces of glass cost three silver coins a piece, but they are much smaller than this, and the green ones are never so clear. ”

Hu Lin also replied: "Where am I talking nonsense, our charity trading company sells it, is this still fake?" ”

The person below whispered and asked, "Five silver coins, so expensive?" ”

The man next to him: "Where is it expensive?" This is not something we buy, of course you think it is expensive, but how can people afford it? ”

"That's it, I bought two pots of orchids last year and sold them for some money, and if it's a piece as big as five silver coins, I really want to buy two and put it on."

As the people spoke, the sheriff snorted, "Well, now that the truth is out, according to the law, you must be fined twice the amount of the glass, otherwise you will have to be imprisoned for a year's work, you can choose one." ”

The two of them took out the money in a disgraced manner, reluctantly handed it over, and said distressedly: "Hey, this is called stealing chickens and not eating rice!" ”

When everyone heard this, they suddenly felt interesting, and when they thought about the artistic conception of stealing chickens, they couldn't help laughing, and they were happy to see that justice had defeated evil, and they laughed and watched the two people pay the money and run away with their heads down.

The man who had broken the glass thanked the sheriff again, and said something discerning, and the sheriff took ten silver coins, and his heart was rejoicing, and he spoke again and told the people to disperse.

Although the crowd dispersed, what happened just now became an interesting story to tell, and it was inevitable that it would be passed on by word of mouth, and it would be even more interesting if stealing chickens was not like that.

There is a new large piece of glass in the charity trading house, there are no bubbles, the color is crystal clear, and even Master Li Kuo does not recognize it as glass...... Such words spread rapidly, fermenting along with the story of the triumph of good over evil.

Hu Lin looked at the scattered people, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. It is said that this is not wrong, it is not a lie, it is just a scene, but it is still a little difficult for him to accept it in his heart.

On second thought, this is a good thing, not only did it hurt anyone, but it was also able to quickly let people know that the trading company had such glass. The only thing worth considering is that in order to achieve a goal, do some strange things, if these strange things do not hurt people, then is it considered a crooked path?

Thinking about it in his mind, he forgot about another thing that Jian Chen asked him to do, but he didn't expect that the person in the other thing grabbed him first.

Li Kuo smiled and invited Hu Lin into the store, and walked into the backyard to ask the apprentice to make tea.

The two of them already knew each other, and they were both elected members of the county council, which can be regarded as an honor.

Although there is no longer a knighthood at this time, the Chinese people still jokingly claim that in fact, the members of this council are a kind of title, but they cannot be hereditary. There is no duke in this world, and it is the marquis who is qualified to participate in the national council of the capital; It was the earl in the county; The one in the county is the viscount.

Some people even joke that the kings of Huaxia are basically selected from the thirteen well-developed and extremely wealthy county guards, after all, they must have the experience of county guards to be eligible to be elected internally as the left servant of Shangshu, and the county guards must be qualified to participate in the national council of the capital, so they are laughed at as the marquis of the thirteen elected kings.

According to this kind of joke in the market, these two people can be regarded as counts, and they naturally know each other, but they don't have the complicated etiquette and background of those bloodline nobles in the north.

After entering the room and sitting down as the guest of honor, Li Kuo couldn't bear it a little and didn't say too much politeness.

"Brother Zhu, is this glass really from your trading company?"

Hu Lin woke up and nodded, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

Li Ming's head quickly turned, and he said in his heart that since he could produce such a large piece of glass, he must be able to make thicker glass that could grind mirrors.

The price is so cheap, with the refraction and translucency of crystal, but not as expensive as crystal, this is really a rare opportunity.

Fortunately, this happened in front of his own shop, so that he could get close to the water and get the first month, as long as he could ask where this glass workshop was located, he would go to discuss the glass matter, even if he spent a sum of money to buy some, which shop could compare the price of his own glasses?

was about to ask, but Hu Lin spoke first: "Master Li, don't you say that I almost forgot, the people in this glass workshop still asked me to ask you for something." ”

"Well, what's the matter?"

"That's right, this glass workshop was opened by Jian Chen."

"Jian Chen? It's the one who writes plays and is found by the people from the Capital Academy? ”

"Yes, that's him. Isn't our trading company the money he paid? ”

"Yes, yes, good lad. Say, what's the matter? ”

"Jian Chen said that he wanted to cooperate with Brother Li and sign a contract, and the glass for grinding the mirror would only be sold to Brother Li's family, but he would have to pay a part of the money......"

When Li Kuo heard this, he smiled and said, "It's a good thing! I was thinking about it just now. The question of money is negotiable, but as long as I make sure that all the mirror glass is sold to me, it can be negotiated. If you want to make the glass of the window, the specially prepared glass must be no different, and it can be used as crystal. ”

Hu Lin nodded and said: "But what he means is that it's just that the generation of Mincheng will not be sold to other families, but if they leave Mincheng, they still have to be sold." ”

"That's nature. The mirror grinder in the capital has nothing to do with me. Where is this Jian Chen now? I'm going to talk to him. ”

"That's not necessary."

Hu Lin took out a piece of paper from his body, with terms written on it, Li Kuo glanced at it roughly, and was surprised in his heart, the price of this exclusive monopoly of grinding mirror glass is not high, and it is completely acceptable. He believes that if the price is three or five times higher, he will accept it if he takes it to another family.

"Brother Li, there is another requirement in addition to this."

"Say."

Chen Jian said that a batch of glass mirrors needs to be polished, but Master Li must polish it himself, and he wants this to be of great use, so he also asked Brother Li to bother and not let the apprentices grind this batch. Of course, there are some rough jobs that can be done by apprentices, but in the end, when it comes to fine polishing, Brother Li has to do it himself. ”

As he spoke, he took out another piece of paper, on which were written all kinds of lenses needed, there were quite a few of them, some were used by the blinded people, some were used by the myopic people, some were used to magnify and read words, and a few were very strange, not some kind of lenses but a kind of triangular prism.

These can be grinded, and there is no big problem, as long as there is enough material, it is not a problem at all.

There was no need to think about it at all, so Li Kuo said: "Okay, I can agree to this." ”

"Brother Li, there is one more thing...... This, about the grinding glass, you'd better not talk to other mirror grinding masters. Although we said that we signed a contract, but ......"

"Don't worry, you don't need to say it, I won't tell those people."

"That's good, Chen Jian will come to visit you when he returns to Mincheng in a few days, and you will talk about it then."

"Brother Zhu, I don't know what this Jian Chen wants so many weird lenses for?"

"I don't know, it seems to be given to the school palace? Or it's related to some things in the Academy, you also know that he is also a person in the Academy, I heard that an old gentleman in the Academy wants to accept him as a disciple. ”

"I've heard of this, if it's true, it's really a big deal in our Fujian City. Okay, I'll grind out these lenses as soon as possible, and make sure that I come to the final fine part myself. ”

"Thank you very much. I still have some things to do with my trading company, so I won't bother and go back. ”

"Brother Zhu Qian's heart is kind, just like Jian Chen's child, hey, this charity trading company...... Hey, that's good, somebody has to care about those people. Well, I won't keep you anymore......"

was sent away, Hu Lin looked back at Li Xuan's mirror grinding shop, smiled, and sighed.

The people of the trading company are still waiting for him, and they will have to go back and recruit some more people, and the sale of glass can be handed over to the apprentices who can settle accounts.
