……

The set of crystal wine sets that Li Anran bought is quite beautiful even in modern time and space. In the Tang Zhenguan period, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a treasure. No, after seeing clearly what was in the gift box, Wu Chengen's small eyes, which were still squinting, suddenly widened, and the whole person was stunned.

After traveling back to modern time and space, Li Anran also inquired about glass, and knew that this thing had actually appeared very early in Chinese history.

Glass, in ancient times generally called glaze or Poli, from the unearthed glassware, China's Western Zhou Dynasty to the Warring States period of glass technology has become mature. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and the beginning of the Warring States Period, dragonfly eye glass beads and imitation jade glassware appeared, and this Chinese glass bead with foreign styles reflects the exchange of Chinese and foreign glass manufacturing techniques.

In the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties periods, with the large import of Roman and Persian glassware, coupled with technical reasons, the number of homemade glass in China decreased. After the Sui unified the country, the internal supervisor He Chou used the method of burning green porcelain to burn glass, which was successful.

Tang Dynasty glassware sporadically unearthed, Shaanxi Lintong unearthed glass fruit, glass bottles and other utensils, the shape of which is the traditional Chinese style, made by blowing method. Optional to the five dynasties, Song, Liao, Jin, Western Xia, unearthed glassware mainly glass gourd bottles, petal cups, pot-shaped tripods and glass ornaments.

According to the literature, the Song people cherished glassware from Arab countries, and the polished glass long-necked flasks unearthed in Ruian, Zhejiang Province were imported from Arabia. Fortunately, no matter how the technology of making glass developed in the later period, at least in the Tang Zhenguan period, the purity and transparency shown by Li Anran's set of glass wine utensils are not true, but there are definitely not many.

In particular, this set of glass wine ware also adopts a manufacturing process similar to diamond facets, and the shape is quite gorgeous and dazzling, otherwise it would not be sold so expensive. In the face of this set of drinking utensils, Wu Chengen can not take care of anything else. immediately rushed to Li Anran's desk without caring about his image at all, and his small squinted eyes were like 502 super glue, which had been completely "glued" to it.

At this moment, the servant who was guarding the door of the private room suddenly knocked on the door.

"What's the matter?!" Wu Chengen, who was about to pick up the treasure items for appreciation, said in a somewhat dissatisfied tone.

"The shopkeeper, Dr. Sun is here, and the county lord is also here." Hearing the dissatisfaction of his shopkeeper, he hurriedly explained.

"What? Hurry up and please!! ”

The arrival of Dr. Sun has not been taken too seriously by Wu Chengen, but after hearing that the county lord is also here, this can no longer take care of the treasure in front of him.

Soon, the door of the private room was pushed open, and then I saw a middle-aged man dressed in casual clothes who looked like a bit of a literati and gentlemanly walked in first.

When this person came in, he didn't forget to joke with a smile in a very hearty tone: "It seems that some people don't welcome the appearance of my parents." ”

"Where can I be, the county lord can come, it is definitely a blessing for the small shop. Please, please, come, serve! Wu Chengen, who greeted the door early, greeted with a smile.

"Doctor Sun, please too! The real person asked as soon as he came, why didn't you arrive, you must explain a thing or two to the younger brother later, so as not to let the real person's thunderous anger fall on the head of so-and-so. ”

Under Wu Chengen's enthusiastic but not deliberate and hypocritical greeting, Gu Bangcai and Sun Changgeng quickly sat down in front of their respective cases.

During this period of the Tang Dynasty, the people at the bottom of the society ate more casually. However, in formal occasions, it is used to divide meals, one desk per person, and it is also kneeling. Thanks to Li Anran's transcendent identity, it is a great disrespect to the master from the perspective of etiquette for someone else to adopt this way of sitting cross-legged.

It is said that Gu Bangcai still has the identity of a county honor, and this position of head originally belonged to him. But no one thought that he would come, and the case of the head was being occupied by Li Anran at this moment. But what surprised Li Anran was that this county lord was very easy to speak. Not only did Wu Chengen's obviously casual words before not arouse the slightest dissatisfaction with this person, but he didn't even fight for a seat.

Seeing that he didn't need to choose between holding a shelf and lowering his figure, Li Anran would naturally not be stupid enough to mention this matter again, and Wu Chengen on the side would not be so stupid as not to open which pot.

After everyone sat down, it was naturally another introduction and greeting.

Under Wu Chengen's greeting in the middle, Li Anran soon had preliminary contact and understanding with Gu Bang, the county's parent official, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

In line with the principle of saying more and making more mistakes, saying less and making fewer mistakes, and not saying good, Li Anran, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, remained silent as much as possible, quietly watching the conversation between Gu Bangcai and Wu Chengen.

When he found out that Gu Bangcai, who was the leader of a county, could talk and laugh with the shopkeeper of Hongfulou with an equal identity and familiar attitude, Li Anran was basically sure that the guy surnamed Wu was definitely not just the shopkeeper. Otherwise, even if Hongfulou has a deep enough background behind him, the dignified county will not need to sell a shopkeeper's face. It is impossible to be like making friends, and there are no scruples between words.

And Sun Changgeng, who was sitting on the side, didn't seem to be surprised. Obviously, this kind of thing has been seen more than once or twice.

After a pleasantry, the topic was unconsciously pulled to the gift box that had only time to be covered with a lid but not taken away.

What made Li Anran speechless was that when talking about his glass wine utensils, Wu Chengen wanted to play tricks to divert the topic at first. But as the respect of a county, especially Lantian County, a key county town that is very close to long hair, Gu Bangcai is not a fool.

Seeing that Wu Chengen was a little overwhelmed, Li Anran took the initiative to take over the topic, first repeating the words that fooled Wu Fatzi before, and then opened the gift box on his desk. At this time, a ray of sunlight poured down from the window next to Li Anran, and it happened to shine in the wine utensils of the gift box.

Even if he had seen it once before, when he saw this scene, Wu Chengsi's squinted eyes were still stuck to the wine utensils as if he had smeared 502 glue.

Gu Bangcai on the side is the leader of a county, and he has a certain background, so it is said that he has seen a lot of rare things, but when he saw this set of crystal wine sets in front of him, his eyes still couldn't help but shrink.

In contrast, Sun Changgeng, who is a doctor, reacted calmly enough, although he was also surprised, but this surprise quickly disappeared.

"Shopkeeper Wu, this is a set of crystal glass wine sets that I brought out from here, I dare not say it in the future, at least so far, this is the only set in this world."

"I don't ask for much, but it is enough to ask for a large enough village, some villagers, a few shops in the county, and then give a price casually."

After gently closing the lid of the gift box, Li Anran didn't pay attention to the strange look that flashed on Gu Bang's face just now, and gently shook the dust in his hand, looking quite calm.

"Not much! There are really not many requests from real people!! That's it!! A certain wish to exchange a Zhuangzi covering an area of 6,000 acres, three shops and 30,000 guan for this set of treasures. ”

After listening to the request just now, Wu Chengen didn't even have the intention of counteroffering, so he directly slapped his thigh and settled the matter, and the price was slightly higher.

After seeing this set of crystal glass wine sets up close, Wu Chengen had already made up his mind to take it no matter how big the cost was.

What's more, Lantian County is not the capital, whether it is the surrounding Zhuangzi or the value of the shops in the county, it is much lower. Counting the two together, plus 30,000 yuan, this business is also a sure profit, and it is an absolute big profit.

If it is replaced by someone else, in the face of this set of crystal glass wine utensils, even if you see the extraordinaryness of this thing, you must consider it carefully when making a price.

Because priceless treasures sometimes mean that there is no market, take this set of crystal glass wine sets as an example, is it worth 100,000 yuan? Wu Chengen felt that it was worth it.

can be replaced by someone else, even if it is a wealthy family with a very rich family, and at the same time, I feel that this set of crystal glass wine sets is indeed worth 100,000 yuan, but there are still only a few people who can pay so quickly. In addition, this is for money and Zhuangzi, and three shops have been built, not just for this set of crystal glass wine utensils. With Wu Chengen's private identity, the person sitting in the top position at this time is the key.

And for such a price, even if Li Anran considered in advance that this set of wine utensils could definitely be regarded as a treasure during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, he couldn't help but feel surprised and ecstatic by a fat man's generosity.

Not to mention the Zhuangzi that covers an area of 6,000 acres and the three shops located in the county seat, but the 30,000 yuan in cash is not just a copper coin for Li Anran, 30,000 copper coins are 30,000 taels of silver. If you exchange these 30,000 taels of silver for gold, it will be 3,000 taels, and if you bring this gold to modern time and space and sell it. Even if the fineness and weight units of gold in ancient times were different from those of modern times, it would be a huge amount of money.

Thinking of this, Li Anran calmed down his ecstasy by drinking tea, and then quietly shook the dust in his hand and said with a smile: "Great goodness!" ”

At this time, Gu Bangcai, who had just made no noise to disturb the transaction, opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Such a treasure, how can you not see one or two." Cheng'en, you must not be stingy, right? ”

In the face of such a proposal, Wu Chengen, who was originally thinking of further inspection, naturally would not refuse. However, he was not willing to let the people below move, but did it himself.

"Wait!" Seeing that the wine utensils were taken out, Li Anran suddenly spoke.
