Chapter 198: Flesh Hurts Silver

Song Yao, who was far away in Yunzhou City, didn't know the dynamics in the capital, although he had established an intelligence network, he didn't have the ability to find out the news of the Pavilion Old Mansion, let alone the news of the Ruiwang Mansion.

Since chatting with Liu Laohan about the glass, Song Yao has spent several drawings, including goblets, lampshades, and some ornaments.

Since some glass ornaments can be made over there, it will not be too difficult to make what Song Yao needs, but it will also take a certain amount of time.

In this era of pure handwork, it is not easy to make molds, and the price will naturally not be low.

Liu Laohan knew that Song Yao was very attentive to Liuli, and he also knew that this was something that could make a lot of money, and the people in the entire mountain village were grateful to Song Yao for avenging them, and they were willing to do things for Song Yao, which was why Song Yao trusted them so much.

In order not to delay Song Yao's income, Liu Laohan deliberately discussed with his companions, chose a day that was easy to go to sea recently, and went to sea again with the silver given by Song Yao.

In fact, it is very hard for the crew to go to sea, but seeing that the family is doing so well, the silver given by Song Yao is high, and Song Yao has an order first, so there is no need to rush back when going to sea, and rest when it is time to rest, safety and health first.

So Liu Laohan didn't feel too tired when they came back this time, after all, they had good food all the way, Song Yao had always been very generous to his subordinates in terms of food, and the shrimp paste and canned meat brought by the crew to the sea were a lot of expenses.

And Song Yao is not idle these days, she is busy making money every day, and making glass mirrors is what she is most passionate about recently.

"It's all silver!" Looking at the glass mirrors that had been brushed with mercury, Song Yaoxiao's eyes narrowed into a slit.

The quality of these glass mirrors is not as good as the ones Song Yao got before, after all, the quality of the glass is not good.

However, compared with copper mirrors, these glass mirrors are much higher-grade, and they are much clearer.

In the case that the glass mirror is in short supply, it can't be sold at a high price of more than 100 taels, but it is absolutely no problem to sell it for 350 taels.

Of course, this is on the premise that Song Yao doesn't plan to do too good decorations, but he plans to sell so that his newly opened shop can become famous.

"Ma'am, this dressing mirror is really good." But people have always been well-behaved, but women are born with a love of beauty, and they have been standing in front of the dressing mirror for a while, but they still feel that they can't see enough.

Large families also use copper mirrors as dressing mirrors, but the mirror with a face is not clear, and it is even more unclear to look at the whole person.

"If you like it, move a piece of it in your house, wait for the high-quality glass to be delivered, and I will send you a new one, and this piece will not be delayed in selling." Song Yao said generously.

"The slave is waiting for the lady to send something better, so let's take this piece out and sell it first." But people didn't want to delay Song Yao to make money, so he hurriedly said.

"Things are vaguely expensive, although our batch of goods can't be sold at a very good price, but we can't sell too much, otherwise there will be people who feel sorry for the silver in the future, but they are reluctant to buy good goods, and your wife and I will lose money." Song Yao hooked the corners of her lips, and her fox-like cunning eyes flashed.

Even if it's just ordinary goods, you have to really make a profit, otherwise it's not a waste of time?

"Madame, this time, are you planning to sell it in limited quantities again?" Redsleeves asked with a smile.

The two girls have often ordered goods at the dock recently, and they don't have much time to stay with Song Yao.

"Clever." Song Yao snapped his fingers and said, "Those mirrors the size of a baby's fist, if you spend more than 100 taels in the store, you will get one piece." The bigger ones will be discounted when the time comes. As for this dressing mirror, it is less than a thousand taels of silver, and even the worst workmanship is not sold. ”

"The price set by Madame is something that only those who are really rich can afford." It's tongue-smacking.

How much money did these glasses cost to buy, and their two henchmen naturally knew it.

For a large piece of inferior glass, the purchase price is thirty taels of silver, plus the cost of shipping and production, etc., at most seventy or eighty taels of silver.

A piece of glass can be used to make a large dressing mirror on all sides, and some styles can also cut some leftovers to make a dozen small mirrors or a dressing mirror.

In this way, Song Yao's asking price is dozens of times earned.

"This thing is meant to be used by the rich, and ordinary people have to worry about breaking it if they buy it, and they don't dare to use it." Red Sleeves silently calculated, but felt that the price Song Yao asked for was not outrageous.

You must know that in the capital, a vanity mirror is also worth seven or eight hundred taels, but the quality is slightly better.

But no one sells these dressing mirrors, which is in response to the saying that rare things are expensive, and it doesn't hurt to sell them more expensively.

"Liu Laohan returned from going to sea this time, if he can buy good glass, does Mrs. still plan to make dressing mirrors? How much is a piece going to be priced? "But people have some expectations, and they have a number in their hearts.

Song Yao slowly raised a finger, and when she saw that the two maids did not have surprised expressions, she knew that the price in their hearts was similar.

"The two of you asked people to install the two mirrors inlaid with gems over there, take the post that Mrs. Lin gave me, and give them to Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin respectively." Song Yao flexed his index finger and said quite painfully: "If you want to open the market in Yunzhou City, these two must be bribed, my two thousand taels of silver!" ”

But the man covered his mouth and chuckled, "Madame can't think like this, according to our purchase price, these two pieces of dressing mirror are only a few dozen taels of capital, will Madame make less money when I look back?" The slave is afraid that in a few days, our threshold will be trampled on. ”

Red Sleeves stretched out his hand and touched the lovely forehead, smiling helplessly like a big sister, "You, you know that Madame likes silver, doesn't talking like this make Madame even more uncomfortable." ”

"Sister Redsleeve is right, it's the slave who said the wrong thing." But people are as good as flowing, but their eyes are very playful.

was teased by the two girls singing and harmonizing, but Song Yao was not angry.

There are some people in the family who are popular, and she has a straight face all day long, and she can't get used to such days.

"You two are capable, dare to laugh at Mrs. Ben, and fine you for a month's monthly money." Song Yao pretended to be annoyed.

"The slave knows that she is wrong, and the lady is angry." The two girls were busy, but they had a smile on their faces.

They have been busy and tired in the past few days, but Song Yao has rewarded a lot, even if they are fined two months' monthly money, they will not suffer.

"Even if you are interested, don't go to work quickly, if you mess up, you will have to deduct your monthly silver twice." Song Yao snorted and shook her hand away, but hummed a little song.

Song Yao just went out, and Red Sleeves and Keren looked at each other and laughed.

Madame likes to punish them with silver, but the reward is always more than the moon's silver, and they can't do it from their hearts even if they want to pretend!

In fact, when Song Yao went out, she just wanted to be quiet and think about something seriously.

When Liu Laohan left, Song Yao also asked him to bring a contract over.

For those drawings drawn by Song Yao, the merchant must ensure that she is provided with absolutely enough quantity, and she cannot make them again within three years, even if they are sold to local merchants.

Three years later, it was not allowed to sell to merchants in the Great Zhou Kingdom, and ten years later, the glaze factory was allowed to be arbitrary.

This treaty seems to be a bit overbearing, but it is also a guarantee for Song Yao, and the price given by Song Yao will definitely not lose the merchants over there.

And the handicraft work is all ancestral, ten years later, the glaze factory will definitely make a lot of money, as long as people with brains will not only care about immediate interests, it is most beneficial for them to get more drawings from Song Yao.

But Song Yao won't think too much about these things, after all, before Liu Laohan comes back, everything is still variable.

Song Yao now wants to research some new dishes, although it is important to earn money, but he can't neglect to mention his appetite.

Thinking about it, she didn't even know that there was someone in front of her, Song Yao slammed into it, and her eyes were full of stars.

"What are you thinking?" He Liansheng frowned, holding Song Yao's waist with one hand and rubbing her reddened forehead with the other.

"It's been a long time since I've studied the recipe, and I'm wondering what to eat tonight." Song Yao pouted and replied very honestly.

Helian Sheng's eyes lit up, he hadn't eaten Song Yao's dishes for a long time, and he was looking forward to it.

"Do you want my help?" Helian Sheng asked.

"You can eat with this mouth, but can you do it with your hands?" Grabbing Helian Sheng's hand, Song Yao snorted: "A big man's hand is more beautiful than a woman's, and it is not born to work, you better go back to the house to raise your uncle." ”

The corners of Helian Sheng's mouth twitched, no matter how he heard it, he felt that Song Yao's words were wrong.

"Yaoyao, are you jealous of me?" Helian Sheng glanced at his hand, except for the tiger's mouth calloused because of sword practice, it was really perfect.

"It's less smelly and beautiful, stay and don't disturb this girl's train of thought." After patting Helian Sheng, Song Yao held her chin and walked towards the kitchen.

Helian Sheng followed behind her, always keeping a few steps away.

As she walked, Song Yao smelled a sour smell.

Immediately afterwards, I saw two rough maids in the kitchen, who were carrying a bucket and leaving, and their faces were a little panicked when they saw Song Yao coming over.

"What is this?" Song Yao asked, pointing to the wooden barrel.

"Madame spares her life, the slaves and maids did not mean it." The two maids knelt on the ground.

"When Mrs. Ben asks you something, the answer is, what are you doing on your knees?" Song Yao bypassed the maid, walked to the barrel, lifted the white cloth, and her eyes brightened a little.

"The slave didn't mean to be lazy, she slept for a while at noon and forgot to change the water for the tofu, and the tofu was sour." The long-faced maid hurriedly explained.

"The slaves and maids either want to waste the things in the kitchen, or they think that they can't want them if they are broken, so they think that they will throw them away first, and then use their monthly money to buy new ones back, and save a penalty. The slaves and maids know that they are wrong, so Madame will spare us this time. The round-faced maid hurriedly added.

The two little girls looked at Song Yao with tears in their eyes, afraid that if Song Yao was unhappy, they would be miserable.

The light is to be beaten a few times, the penalty is to be warned a few more words, and the heavy is to be sold.

Not to mention the subordinates who made mistakes and were betrayed, there is generally no good place to go, even the errands in the Song Mansion are better than other places, and there are few cases where the subordinates are punished, how can they be willing to leave?

But this time doing something wrong and wanting to hide it from the master's family is indeed a taboo for subordinates.

After listening to the words of the two little girls, Song Yao didn't blame them.

But there are always rules in a huge mansion, and what to do or what to do.

After thinking for a while, he said: "If you are a first-time offender, you will be punished for not being allowed to eat dinner, deduct half a month's salary, face the wall for half an hour, and then go to the steward to receive the punishment after finishing your work." ”

"Thank you, Madame, for your kindness." The two little girls are busy thanking, such a punishment is really too light.

"Don't be stunned, carry the tofu back to the kitchen, and Ming'er will go to the housekeeper to receive the reward." Song Yao commanded.

"Huh?" The two maids were stunned for a moment, thinking that Song Yao didn't understand what they said, so they cautiously said, "Madam, this tofu is already rancid and can't be eaten." ”

"It's rancid, but Mrs. Ben is of great use, so let's work." Song Yao said with a smile, and then stepped into the kitchen first.
