Chapter 156: Identifying Business Opportunities
"Miss, don't cut your hands!" Mrs. Wu nervously wrapped the fragments with a handkerchief, and then held it herself for Ye Xiaohua to see.
Looking at Mrs. Wu, who was overly nervous, Ye Xiaohua smiled helplessly, "Mother Wu, I'm afraid you don't know that I do rough work in the countryside, so I'm not so squeamish." ”
Mrs. Wu shook her head and insisted: "I don't care what you do in the countryside, but now that the old slave is waiting, you can't be hurt a little, otherwise the old slave won't be able to go back to pay the errand." ”
"Aunt Seven is not so squeamish, she is really hurt, she won't blame you."
Mrs. Wu didn't speak, Mrs. Guan is a good talker, but the one she said she wanted to explain was not like that.
The stall owner was still arguing with the person who broke the bottle, and now it was to the point of bargaining, Ye Xiaohua thought that the stall owner was a lion at first, but the person who broke the bottle did not have a counteroffer in the sky and in the ground.
"Mother Wu, do you know what this is?"
"The old slave hasn't seen it, this thing looks pretty good, but it looks a little sharp."
Ye Xiaohua felt that the more she looked at this thing, the more it looked like glass, anyway, she had never seen glass products in the countryside before, thinking that this was like a complicated process, maybe glass had not been developed here, but now it seems that she was wrong, someone has already taken the lead, but this glass is not pure enough, and there are still a lot of impurities in it.
Not to mention that she is not hanging out today, she has gained something after all, but if you want to develop glass, this is not a trivial matter, where to get the raw materials?
And the stall owner and the man who broke the glass also negotiated the price, and a glass bottle so small that there was no pattern at all, and it looked very abstract, and it actually lost 170 taels of silver.
Ye Xiaohua felt more and more that the development of glass was imminent, which was more profitable than grapes.
Although grape wine should be paired with a luminous glass, Ye Xiaohua thinks that the unique color of red wine should be paired with this crystal clear glass goblet, and it will be sold in a bundle when the time comes......
There is definitely no shortage of rich people in this place in the capital, what is lacking is novelty.
The top priority is to inquire about the materials used to fire glass, limestone, soda ash, you can buy ready-made here, and feldspar is not difficult to get, feldspar is an important raw material for making porcelain, and the porcelain here has been fired to perfection.
If you want to say that the most difficult thing to get is quartz sand, but when it comes to this name, people who don't even know glass must have never heard of it, so she plans to change the method, as for other materials.
After receiving the compensation, the little vendor was satisfied, the corners of his mouth finally showed a smile, and the people who watched the excitement gradually dispersed, but Ye Xiaohua stood there, and the stall owner who counted the silver and silver tickets twice finally found her, "This young lady, do you want to buy something?" Is it in the wrong place? ”
Glass is difficult to transport, if you come from Fanbang, with the current level of transportation, it is really a bit difficult, but based on this alone, she is not sure that the stall owner is lying, just with the mentality of trying it out, just ask.
"Where the hell did you get this bottle?"
The stall owner's face remained unchanged, "Didn't you just say it?" From Fanbang, why do you ask this, do you buy it or not? If you don't buy it, don't stand in the way of other guests. ”
Mrs. Wu was just about to help, but Ye Xiaohua gave her a look, and Mrs. Wu had to keep her mouth shut, but she was still a little indignant in her heart.
"You are definitely not from Fanbang, if you tell me who did it and where you did it, I will buy these fragments for a hundred taels."
"One hundred taels?" The stall owner plucked out his ears, and suddenly changed from impatience to amiable words, "Hehe, miss, you're not kidding, are you?" ”
Ye Xiaohua knew that he was tempted, and she didn't talk to him, she took out a hundred taels of silver tickets from her purse and spread it in front of him, the stall owner immediately bent over, lowered her posture, and said with a flattering face: "Miss, I know that you are a master at a glance, and I can see that I am not from Fanbang, let me tell you the truth, this is made by a distant relative of mine, he has no children and no daughters, and when he mourns, it is still the money I gave, I brought such a bottle back from his house, and I don't know what it is. I just think it's fun, but unfortunately I don't explain it, and it breaks when I touch it. ”
After the stall owner finished speaking, he directly reached out to take the silver in Ye Xiaohua's hand, Ye Xiaohua raised his hand, making him pounce, the stall owner's face changed slightly, and soon returned to normal, "Miss, I don't dare to lie to you, I have to mix on this street in the future, you are an expert, I don't dare to lie to you, what I said is true." ”
"The old man you're talking about has passed away?"
"No, the miserable one who died, the one who died in the tenth winter, I couldn't move after I fell, I didn't eat for half a month, I starved to death, when I went to clean up, I was skinny and skinny......"
"My young lady didn't ask you this, don't talk nonsense there." Mrs. Wu scolded.
"Yes, yes, miss, do you have anything else to ask? I must know everything, I must know everything. ”
"Where is his home?" Ye Xiaohua asked.
"It's just by the sea in the north of the city, that place used to be an old kiln, and then it closed down, and my relative worked in the kiln factory when he was young."
That's it, Ye Xiaohua nodded, and gave the silver to the stall owner, she thought, she already knew the cause and effect.
The old man may have inadvertently made glass out of quartz sand near his home, but unfortunately he died of starvation before he could carry forward the craft.
Mrs. Wu wrapped the fragments in a handkerchief, followed closely behind Ye Xiaohua, and asked puzzledly, "Miss, do you have a lot of money?" ”
Ye Xiaohua knew that she was changing the law and saying that she had money and had nowhere to spend it, "No, I'm short of money, Mother Wu, don't think that what you are holding is useless, let me tell you, what you are holding is a mountain of gold." ”
"Jinshan? Miss, don't joke with me, if the bottle is not broken, it is worth some silver, but now it is finely broken, you still spend so much money as a treasure to buy it back, if you want me to say that this is not as good as a broken jade bracelet, a better one can also grind out a ring face, but this, a thin layer, what is the use? ”
Ye Xiaohua knew, and she didn't understand how to tell her, "You'll know later, the thing in your hand is Jinshan." ”
No matter what Ye Xiaohua said, Mrs. Wu still didn't believe it this time, but she couldn't stop it, this young lady was too thoughtful.
It's better to send a letter to the master as soon as possible, no matter what, Miss Xiaohua is afraid that she will spend all her family money.
