Chapter 156: Reselling

The shopkeeper Kang took out the agreement prepared in advance and asked the man to sign it, one copy for the buyer and the seller.

The agreement was written with the buyer's delivery address, and the shopkeeper Kang accepted the deposit of two taels of silver, and solemnly advised: "Zhang Daguan, right?" I've got to remind you that glass is not easy to make, and we really don't have much in stock. I hope you don't make a big deal out about buying glass in a small shop, so as not to cause trouble for the small shop. ”

That person didn't want to say anything now, Qingyunzhai blocked his way back and forth, and even his home address was recorded, he really didn't have the courage to challenge the Xia family and the notorious Uncle Shao.

Between his life and earning less silver, he can only choose to earn less silver.

In this way, on the eighth day of the first month, the remaining twenty-four pieces of flawed glass were sold.

After the ninth day of the first month, when someone came to ask, the shopkeeper Kang simply told him that there were only 24 pieces of defective glass left in Qingyun Zhai, and all of them were sold out yesterday. Now there is no one left, and it is not easy to make glass, and it will not be available in recent months.

When there are goods, the shopkeeper Kang restricts the spread of news, so as not to crowd his store, but there is no restriction on the news of being sold out.

People who didn't buy the goods went out in frustration, and if someone asked, he naturally had to say it again to vent his regret that he didn't come earlier.

In just one day's work, many people know that Qingyun Zhai, and even the entire Liang Dynasty, will no longer have glass in recent months.

The defective glass selected from the previous dedication to the palace was also sold out on the eighth day of the lunar calendar.

Because the content of the message is clear and clear, there is no congestion here in the shopkeeper Kang.

Some people also made reservations and asked for the next batch of glasses, and the shopkeeper Kang received them one by one, but did not accept the reservation.

I can't say what will happen in a few months, and when the next batch of glass in Qingyun Zhai has some eyebrows, I will notify the customers.

As a result, many people focused their attention on the person who bought the glass on the eighth day of the new year.

Scholar Xia learned the news on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, and the old man was about to die of anger.

Xia Ke had never used a piece of glass in his own home, he thought that Xia Yanqing was cautious, and destroyed everything except for the offerings to the emperor.

Who knew that they once again sold things quietly and without telling the old house, and they sold them at such a low price.

It was this that made Scholar Xia vomit blood, and the glass that he bought at Qingyun Zhai for twenty taels before, in just four days, was resold several times, and it was fried to more than three hundred taels.

And there are people who continue to pay high prices to find people who have glass in their hands.

Old Madam Lu was also so angry that the roots of her teeth itched.

The concubine's family is a white-eyed wolf and a loser who can't be raised, and would rather give the benefits to irrelevant outsiders than let their own family members get a little bit of a star.

It's just that Xia Daxue still has to hold his own identity, and he can't blame Xia Yanqing for not giving him the benefits of reselling glass.

…………

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, it is the time for the frosted glass to complete annealing.

Xia Yanqing came out in a carriage early in the morning, picked up Mr. Bai by the way, and rushed to the kiln together.

In the carriage, Mr. Bai asked, "What price did the glass outside sell for?" ”

Xia Yanqing said with a smile: "It has risen to more than three hundred taels yesterday?" ”

Mr. Bai smacked his tongue: "It's only been a few days, is it so fast?" ”

Xia Yanqing said proudly: "As long as the glass has not been installed with windows, the price will have to rise a lot." ”

Mr. Bai praised: "My aunt's estimate is right, if the price of glass continues to rise like this, it is not difficult to deduce the cost of glass if someone asks us about the selling price." With such a huge benefit, someone must be tempted. ”

Speaking of this, Mr. Bai was a little worried and asked, "Isn't it really necessary for people to keep an eye on these craftsmen?" If someone really wants to start with the craftsmen and workers in the workshop to get the production process of colored glass, if we find it early, we can prevent the leakage of technology. ”

Xia Yanqing shook his head: "No, there are so many people, how much manpower and material resources do you have to spend to keep an eye on them?" Let things ferment on their own, let's take this opportunity to clean up the people in the kiln and the glass workshop. A little bit of the fur technique of firing glass, let them learn it, we are not afraid. ”

Although she is a person engaged in glass marketing, she has a lot of knowledge about glass.

Now she has someone who has money, can experiment vigorously, and has a lot of technology waiting for her to develop. Where is this little thing going, where is the fear of people stealing from school?

Just let the horses come over and let them have a good look at what real technology is.

Since Xia Yanqing got the money to sell the glazed bare stones, she began to hire a large number of craftsmen and workers.

In particular, the glaze workshop has more people.

Her plan at that time was to train skilled workers as quickly as possible so that glass production could be expanded as soon as possible.

Since the start of the workshop, what she has done the most is to let the craftsmen and workers continue to fire glass of various formulas, and be familiar with the properties of liquid glass and various shaping techniques.

So, that's why it took so long for the glaze workshop to burn the first glass until the end of the year.

It's just that once there are more people, it will inevitably be difficult to control, and human nature is different, who knows how many people will sell the interests of the glass workshop under the temptation of money.

In order to keep more glass technology secret in the future, Xia Yanqing took advantage of the time when he could not sell white glass in the near future, and took the opportunity of selling the remaining defective glass to let people see the huge benefits of glass and make it convenient for those who like to plagiarize other people's achievements.

Why not let others spend financial resources and manpower to test the character of the hired workers for the glaze workshop?

At least for now, it seems that the plan is going smoothly in the direction she predetermined.

She just needs to wait and see how many people will make a move, and how many craftsmen and workers who have signed confidential documents will violate the confidentiality agreement for the sake of immediate small profits.

You know, the cost of violating a non-disclosure agreement, that's huge.

…………

Today, Xia Zitang is on duty in the Soldiers and Horses Division, and the kiln is guarded by Shao Yi. In two days, the glass palace lamp will be sent out, and the kiln will not need so many people to guard, everyone will go back and do their own things.

Today, not only the annealing kiln and the finished glass are produced, but also the glass needed for the greenhouse is fired, so the workers of the workshop are present.

This kind of operation has been done many times in the workshop, and although the glass is very valuable this time, the process is still skillful and smooth.

When the carved glass was placed in front of everyone one by one, Mr. Rao Shibai and He Zhongzheng, who were personally involved in glass making, were also so excited that they were almost dizzy.

Such golden, silver-glittering valuables are not only found in the sky, but can also appear on earth.

When firing this batch of glass, in order to reflect the gold and silver paintings, Xia Yanqing deliberately chose a sulfur-containing formula, so that the transparent color of the glass has a light amber color.

At this time, it seems that this faint amber color makes the gold and silver paintings more noble and atmospheric.
