Chapter 4 Glass Windows
"Hello little master!"
Entering the gate, the housekeeper looked at Ye Qiu and the others with a defensive expression, but Ye Qiu didn't look at him, and turned to a young man in brocade clothes, this young man was only fourteen or fifteen years old, it was the adolescence when he was active, and his curiosity about new things was still very heavy.

"Take a look, the extraterritorial glass you said, I don't believe I haven't seen it, there are dozens of glass ornaments in my house, all of which are rare!" The little young master cheered happily and asked Ye Qiu to take out the things, and he didn't forget to show off the collection at home, but he didn't even see the old housekeeper who kept looking at him.
"Meng Niu, take out the glass." Ye Qiu raised his head at Meng Niu, Meng Niu answered, lifted the cloth and lifted a piece of glass.
"Oh, I think it's something new, what's the difference between this look and ice? It's not as nice as ice! After reading it, the little young master pouted very dissatisfied.
Ye Qiu shook his head and said, "Little Master, don't you know, the manufacturing process of this kind of colored glass is several times more than those colored colored glasses. β
"Oh? How do you say that? The young master looked at him in disbelief.
"Those colorful colored glass are actually caused by not removing impurities in the manufacturing process, and this completely transparent glass is through an extremely complex method to remove those impurities that should not exist, so that there is such an effect, but due to the complex process and the cost, it is not mass-produced, so that few people see it, and no one knows its true use." Ye Qiu had done sales in his previous life, and it was naturally easy to introduce a glass of glass.
"You mean, this glass has other uses besides looking?" The little young master was interested again, and hurriedly asked.
Ye Qiu nodded, took the glass in Meng Niu's hand, and put it between himself and the little master, and then said: "Little young master, look, although there is such a piece of glass between us, it doesn't affect you to see me or I see you, even the light is not blocked, this is the biggest role of this kind of glass, think about it, if you install this kind of glass on the window of your study, you don't need to light it during the day, and you can increase the light in the room at night, isn't it great?" β
The little young master also found out that it was indeed as Ye Qiu said, and immediately nodded and said, "Then I will install one in my study, and my father's study will also be installed, and his will be two!" β
Ye Qiu put the glass back into the basket, and said with some embarrassment: "The little young master wants to load, naturally it is possible, but the price is ......."
"The price? Oh yes, the price of such a good glass will definitely not be low," the little young master thought about it for a while, and said seriously, "In this way, the least glass in my house is bought back for three hundred taels of silver, and you are even better than theirs, then I will give you five hundred taels of one, what do you think?" β
Ye Qiu was almost fainted by this price, and Meng Niu only felt as if he had been smashed a little lightheaded by the silver.
"Little boy, it's better to do this, I'll install three pieces of this glass for you, and I won't charge you a penny, but you need to help us find at least three customers, eh, it's the person who also wants to install the glass, do you think it's okay?" Ye Qiu was a person from the next generation, and he quickly recovered from his dizziness and thought of a very simple but practical method.
"So good! I agreed! The little boy immediately made a decision and promised, "After I install it today, I will go to Gao Yanei and Wang Yanei to come and have a look, and promise to find you all three within three days!" β
"By the way, little boy, you claimed that the glass we installed for you was one hundred taels a piece, do you think it's good?" Ye Qiu said again.
"Oh? Then you have to pretend to be this number for them? "The little young master didn't understand Ye Qiu's words, where would anyone deliberately lower their prices, and they didn't make any money, aren't they stupid!
Ye Qiu didn't think like this, all he wanted now was for those big families to install the glass in his hand one by one, and it wouldn't be long before the rich merchants in the city would flock to it. And he also has an understanding of the manufacturing process of this glaze, today after he went back to write down the production method and its process, this Meng Niu looks honest and honest, and he partnered to build a glaze workshop, specifically for the production of glaze in Hangzhou, this is a good way to make a fortune!
"Little master, although I do what I say, I assure you, if you provide me with a customer, I will provide you with a piece of glass for free, as long as you have a customer, it won't be long before all the windows on your house are replaced with glass!" Ye Qiu continued to guide.
"Wouldn't it be bad if all of them were replaced with this kind of glass?" The little young master asked worriedly.
"Of course not, this glass is much better than papier-mΓ’chΓ© windows, not afraid of rain, not afraid of heat and cold, you let the people in the house clean it every day, it will not be damaged under ordinary circumstances, it does not need to be replaced all year round, and it can be clean as new!" Ye Qiu picked up a piece of glass and patted it with his hand, now the quality of this glass is not too good, and he doesn't dare to use it vigorously, just to make a show to publicize it.
"No, I mean, if it's in the bedroom, people from the outside can see inside, and that's not a good thing." The young master asked his own questions.
"Well, we will solve this problem later, so now we will install it in the study or hall in public places and private places, and wait for our new glass production to come." Ye Qiu nodded and said.
"Okay, that's it." The little young master said excitedly, and instructed the housekeeper to take Ye Qiu and the others to the study to install the glass, "Butler, you take them to the study, and I will go to my mother first." β
"Childe, three pieces of glass, do you really not charge a penny?"
On the way to the study, Meng Niu asked in a low voice, his voice trembled a little, three pieces of glass, not to mention the three hundred taels proposed by the little young master, it was one hundred taels that Ye Qiu priced, which was also a full three hundred taels of silver!
"Of course we don't accept it, we are businessmen now, businessmen must have credibility, and what they say is like water spilled out, and they can't be recovered!" Ye Qiu said affirmatively.
"But ......"
Ye Qiu interrupted him and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely not harm you, this glass business, we can continue to do it in the future, don't just see the immediate benefits, what my brother wants to earn is not such a small amount of money!" β
"Hehe, I listen to you, I know that Childe has read books, and when he is capable, he will definitely not lie to me." Meng Niu slapped a sycophant impartially and made Ye Qiu feel comfortable.
"Two, this is the little master's study."
When he arrived at the study, the housekeeper stood aside, but his attitude was obviously much better than before, after all, the little young master was more in love with them, and he had to look at the little master's face.
"We still need some tools, and we can ask the housekeeper to help us find them."
Then Ye Qiu said a few carpenter's tools, and the housekeeper quickly ordered his subordinates to find Qi and send them over, and stood aside to supervise the work, he couldn't let these two guys tear down the little young master's study.
After the work was ready, Ye Qiu instructed Meng Niu to start work, fortunately, these glasses were according to the window size of those big families, this small study only had one window, and the installation was completed soon, and the light in the room instantly became brighter, and even the old housekeeper, who was frightened at first, showed a satisfied smile.
Grandpa Guo's study was installed in two pieces, and it didn't take much time, it only took a morning to complete it smoothly, the little master came a few times during the period, and he began to feel interesting, and then he began to get bored, so he let the housekeeper be responsible for entertaining, and he went to play with his friends first.
"Okay, let's go to my house for dinner at noon today."
The Guogong Mansion naturally did not provide lunch for the two of them, Ye Qiu and Meng Niu took their leave after drinking the tea served by the housekeeper, and said that they would come back tomorrow morning, hoping that the little young master could bring his guests over, and the housekeeper naturally responded.
"This ......"
"You're a big man, squirming like a." Meng Niu was about to excuse himself, but Ye Qiu immediately patted him on the shoulder and said unceremoniously.
"I'm not a!" Meng Niu was hit by him and immediately retorted.
"Then you can go to my house for a meal, and by the way, we have a big business to do tomorrow." Ye Qiu said with a smile.
Meng Niu was not hypocritical, picked up the burden and followed behind him.
β¦β¦
"I'm back."
Pushing open the courtyard door, Ye Qiu, who was in a good mood, shouted loudly, but there was no response in the house, and Ye Qiu didn't want the little girl to respond to him loudly, with her shy nature, she naturally wouldn't run out to greet her.
"Brother Meng Niu, just put the burden there."
Entering the hall, Ye Qiu asked Meng Niu to put his burden in a corner of the hall, let him sit for a while, and he carried a fish and a few pieces of meat that he bought from the vegetable market just now into the kitchen.
"Hey, where did the little girl go? Isn't it time to cook? β
There was no smoke in the kitchen, and there was no Qing'er's figure, Ye Qiu came out of the kitchen with some doubts, turned around and entered the bedroom again, only to find that the little girl was lying on the edge of the bed and fell asleep, when Ye Qiu stepped forward to wake her up, she suddenly found that her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had just cried, and the mat under her eyes was also wet.
"Hey, my bastard......"
Seeing that the little girl occasionally whimpered in her sleep, Ye Qiu couldn't help but scold herself angrily in her heart, and couldn't bear to wake her up, Ye Qiu walked out of the room lightly and returned to the kitchen again.
"Cooking for the first time after crossing over, I hope the craftsmanship has not fallen behind......"
Lifting the kitchen knife, Ye Qiu grabbed the fat herring, sat at the back door of the kitchen and skillfully scaled and cut it open, cleaned the internal organs and cleaned it again, cut the green onions, ginger and garlic and mixed well, and put knife flowers on the fish, but unfortunately there was no highly fragrant liquor in later generations, so it could only be replaced by rice wine, and then put the fish on the plate, add the prepared ingredients, and then put it in the pot to steam, his first dish was to make a steamed fish.
Followed by garlic sprouts fried meat, palace fried chicken, unfortunately the chili pepper has not yet been introduced to the Great Song Dynasty, and the palace fried chicken has also become unique to the Great Song Dynasty. After these were done, I saw that there were still Qing'er washed vegetables on the side of the water tank, so naturally I wouldn't let them go, so I took them and made them into oily vegetables.
"Although the materials are insufficient, the craftsmanship is very good and the flavor is unique!"
After tasting it, Ye Qiu praised himself very unhesitantly.
