Chapter 39 Supply Exceeds Demand

On June 20, Lu Ze hurried to the Surabaya Pavilion with a caravan in the house, and just yesterday, he had received news from Liu Yuan, and he also knew that this pottery kiln had produced more than 300 pieces of pottery in batches. When he arrived at the pavilion, Lu Ze also sighed in his heart, Liu Yuan's prestige in the Surabaya Pavilion was really unparalleled. Seeing Liu Yuan, he smiled and said, "Brother Xian, I haven't seen you go to drink with Brother Fool these days." ”

"Hehe, my brother laughed." Knowing that Lu Ze was making fun of himself, Liu Yuan also laughed, and then he said straight to the point: "Let's go, brother will go to the pottery kiln with me to see if this batch of pottery is satisfactory?" ”

When the two arrived in Hedongli, the fired pottery was lined up in the pottery shed, Lu Ze personally picked up a pottery bowl, and after observing, he bowed his head slightly, and said: "Yes, the output of this pottery kiln is really heavy, and this batch of pottery is afraid to be robbed." ”

"Brother?" During the conversation, Lu Pheasant came over at some point, and she shouted in surprise.

Seeing his sister, Lu Ze was also happy, he touched Lu Pheasant's head and said with a smile: "You girl, you are finally married." ”

Lu Pheasant smiled, she glanced at Lu Ze, and then coquettishly pulled her brother's arm, and said, "Brother, you can't lower the price of this pottery." ”

"You, you, it's only been a few days since you arrived at Liu's house, and you turned your elbow out." Lu Ze pointed to his sister and sighed, and then he said to Liu Yuan: "Brother Xian, I will buy this batch of pottery at the market price in my Lu Mansion, how about it?" ”

The market price is already quite high, Liu Yuan did not refuse, nodded in response, and said in a deep voice: "Just according to what my brother said." ”

When Lu Ze heard this, he immediately asked the servants of the Lu Mansion to carry the pottery, and in the end, the first batch of pottery totaled 960 yuan. There is not much money, mainly because the first batch is very small. Lu Ze bought the pottery, echoed a few words with Liu Yuan, and left. The Lu Mansion has its own business routes, and the Duke of Lu has invited several shopkeepers of pottery shops in the city.

"Dad, Ze'er is back." When he arrived in the lobby, Lu Ze bowed and said in a condensed voice.

Mrs. Lu stroked his beard and asked, "Has the pottery been shipped back?" ”

"Outside the house." Lu Ze nodded and replied.

"Good!" Lu Taigong's face was happy, he ordered someone to take a few pieces of pottery and put them in front of these shopkeepers, and then he also arched his hand and said: "Several, please look, this is the pottery of my Lu Mansion." ”

These people are all experts, and after some observation, they all glanced at each other, and one of the slightly fat middle-aged men returned the salute and said: "Lu Gong's pottery really deserves its name, these pottery are all high-quality, I am willing to buy them all." ”

"Brother Zhao can't be so greedy." Another person said in a cold voice without concealment, although these pottery are just daily things, they are thick and heavy, and they will definitely be loved by the people.

"Yes, Brother Zhao, you can't be so unkind." Others also complained, "Lu Gong, I am willing to buy this batch of pottery." ”

"Huh." Seeing this, Mrs. Lu smiled even more, he was a businessman, so he naturally knew that the people loved durable things. Lu Taigong is also a delicate person, he paused, waved his hand and said, "In this way, how about you divide this batch of pottery equally?" ”

When these shopkeepers heard this, they all smiled and nodded, "That's very good!" ”

Then they couldn't wait to pay the money, and when they were about to pick up the pottery, Lu Taigong said lightly: "In the future, my Lu Mansion can sell such heavy pottery in bulk." ”

"What?" Everyone was shocked, when will this heavy pottery also be produced in batches? After these shopkeepers were shocked, their minds also became active, and they returned to their seats one by one. The man surnamed Zhao said eagerly: "Lu Gong, if this is the case, I am willing to increase the price of one percent." ”

"I'm willing to wait." Others are unrelenting.

This is exactly what Taigong Lu wanted, he nodded with satisfaction again, and said: "Everyone is so hearted, my Lu Mansion naturally welcomes it, and in the future, everyone can discuss this pottery with my eldest son." ”

After the first batch of pottery was divided equally among several people, Lu Ze hurriedly returned to the Surabaya Pavilion in the afternoon, and Liu Yuan was also surprised when he heard it, "Brother sold it so quickly?" ”

"Hehe, brother Xian, you have to produce more in the future." Lu Ze admonished.

"It's nature." Liu Yuan was determined in his heart, so that he could also accumulate financial resources before the troubled times. After sending Lu Ze away, Liu Yuan arrived at the kiln factory, and he instructed everyone to speed up the production of pottery embryos and improve the production of pottery kilns.

In Peixian City, the first batch of pottery was quickly sold out in various pottery shops, which also made the shopkeepers have to go to Lu Mansion to urge, hoping to buy a large number again. The pottery of the Surabaya Pavilion was sought after, and the people in the pavilion were naturally happy, and even the three elders rushed to hear the news and praised Liu Yuan. Three days later, Lu Ze came to buy a batch of pottery, which had thousands of pieces, and they were also divided among the shopkeepers.

Seeing this, in order to solve the problem of insufficient production, Liu Yuan hurriedly asked the carpenter in the pavilion to make a batch of wooden boxes. He had the clay embryos put into wooden boxes, and then stacked them layer by layer, so that the entire kiln body could be stuffed with clay embryos. The method of stacking wooden boxes allows the pottery kiln to fire more than 5,000 pieces of pottery at a time, which greatly improves the production and also meets the needs of Pei County.

However, the Lu Mansion is not only available in Pei County, they also have business in other counties. After satisfying the needs of Pei County, Lu Ze organized a caravan to personally escort the pottery to the counties for sale, and for a while, the pottery in Surabaya County was almost surging. The LΓΌ Mansion used this pottery to get acquainted with a large number of squires, which made the heart of the Duke of LΓΌ happy, and the reputation of the LΓΌ Mansion gradually increased in Surabaya County.

Surabaya County is so large that the production of pottery kilns is almost in short supply. For this reason, Liu Yuan ordered someone to build a second pottery kiln, and most of the people in Surabaya Pavilion also worked in the kiln factory, and Liu Yuan also paid his wages once every half a month. With money, the people's lives are also rich, and in this way, the Surabaya Pavilion can also be said to be thriving.

"What's going on?" The production of daily pottery was on the right track, and Liu Yuan asked Wang Lao to prepare glaze medicine, and he also hoped to fire some glazed pottery as ornamental and funeral items for large families. However, after the glazed pottery kiln was opened today, Wang Lao was shocked.

Liu Yuan also rushed to hear the voice, and he was also surprised when he saw these glazed pottery. The surface of these glazed pottery has a dark blue color, but it is not as rough as other pottery, and when you touch it by hand, it is smooth. Liu Yuan seemed to have something, and he said casually: "This is porcelain." ”
