Chapter 13 The Treasure of the Town Store
Weiss patted the box, "I guess you're curious about what's in it, I wonder if any of the guests are interested in guessing it?"
These words caused everyone in the store to talk about it, and they were all whispering about what this "treasure of the town store" was. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yulong's eyes blinked slightly, as if she had thought of something, and there was a hint of excitement in her tone, but she was well concealed, if it weren't for Allen's excellent ear power, I am afraid she would not have heard the excited tone of Yulong's words at this time.
"I heard that the largest diamond in the mainland, the [Star of Hope], has always been in the hands of the Cook Chamber of Commerce, could it be that the treasure of this town store is this diamond?"
Alan pinched his earlobe with his right hand and rubbed it gently, sighing that it seemed that even a woman could not resist this shiny thing, even a princess like Yulong was attracted by this legendary diamond.
Weiss's face changed slightly, and then he laughed again, "Haha, although I really hope that Her Royal Highness the princess can guess correctly, but the 'Star of Hope' is not here in the Cook Chamber of Commerce, so the treasure of this town store is not the diamond, here I can give you a hint." ”
Speaking of this, Weiss stopped and looked around, and when he saw the anxious expressions of the crowd, he knew that he was too late to continue.
"The treasure of this town is man-made, not natural. Well, customers who answer before I reveal it will receive a VIP card from our store. ”
"The man-made one seems to be the heirloom of a certain master, so it's hard to guess. Yulong muttered quietly, then looked at Alan standing beside him, "You must know." ”
"What, Her Royal Highness wants me to tell you the answer directly?"
"That's not necessary, but can you give me more hints?" Yulong turned her head sideways and smiled at Allen, suddenly as if she had become an innocent girl.
is really a natural actor, Alan sighed in his heart, but on the surface he replied seriously: "Okay, then I'll give His Highness a hint - it's very expensive!"
"You ......" Yulong really couldn't say anything at all, although the hint given by Allen was useless at all, but it couldn't be said that it wasn't a hint.
And the other guests also actively participated in the game.
"Sun Sword?"
"Rafa flask?"
"Wailing in pain?"
......
But no matter what the crowd said, Vis just stood there shaking his head. Gradually, the well-known treasures circulating on the mainland were talked about all over again, but it still didn't make Weiss change his shaking his head.
Seeing that the customers in the store were all confused, and the atmosphere of heated discussions in the audience gradually cooled down, Alan knew that it would be bad for them to guess like this, so he hurriedly came to Weiss's side.
"Since no one can guess, we'll announce the answer!"
After speaking, Alan opened the wooden box and displayed the treasure of the town store in the box in front of everyone.
"It's ......"
"No......"
"That's right, it's a cup made of crystal glass, and there are three cups here, two of each, for a total of six. ”
Alan casually took out a cup and walked to the door of the store, holding it up to the sunlight, which made the crystal clear of the glass undoubtedly visible in front of everyone.
"Oh my God, this really is a crystal glass!"
There was a burst of exclamations from inside the store, and even many people outside the store couldn't help but stop here to marvel at this rare treasure.
Yulong was also very surprised, and Ling'er opened her small mouth wide, looking surprised.
The master and servant are naturally not people who have never seen crystal glass, but the production of this thing is extremely rare, not to mention, it is also very delicate, due to the long distance, the Shenlong Empire only has two crystal glasses, but here, there are six at once, how can it not be shocking.
"Princess, you said that they transported six to the imperial capital, how much damage they had to do along the way!"
"Impossible!"
"Princess, what can't be?" Ling'er looked puzzled.
"It can't be shipped by them, this crystal glass is only produced a dozen or so a year, even the Cook family can't contract all the year's output and transport it to Shenlong. After recovering from her surprise, Yulong quickly realized what was wrong with the matter.
"What does the princess mean?"
"I guess they're probably making this crystal glass locally!"
At this time, Alan had already put the cup back in the box, leaving Weiss to deal with the guests who gathered around, but he walked back to Yulong's side, and saw a clear expression on Yulong's face, Alan quickly understood.
But it's nothing, after all, Alan already knew that this matter must not be hidden from someone with a heart, as long as he thought about it a little, he could understand that these crystal glasses must not have been shipped from the south, but Alan was not worried about the secret of making glass being discovered.
He just wants to make a fortune from glass, and even if it is discovered how the crystal glass is fired, it is difficult to burn transparent and colorless glass with raw materials containing impurities with current technology.
Taking a step back, even if someone made crystal glass, then he and Weiss still had a profitable trade route in their hands, and the rare gems obtained from the trade with the Haku people were enough to make the boutique bigger.
Yulong also understands that the expression on his face has betrayed his heart, but compared to the profits brought by crystal glass, Yulong values the power behind Allen more - the Holy See, of course, the Cook family can also be regarded as a reason.
"Aren't you afraid of trouble?" Yulong whispered to Allen, "I'm afraid someone will be eyeing your efforts." ”
Alan didn't expect Yulong to say this, he originally thought that Yulong wanted to get a formula or something else from him.
"There is Princess Lao to bother, we can handle it. ”
"Then there will be a lot of red-eyed people who will come to you for trouble, so I might as well take care of you. Yulong stroked the hair around her ears, looking light and breezy.
Alan felt that he understood what Yulong meant, this can be regarded as collusion between officials and businessmen, but there is no harm in bringing Yulong, for the current Allen, more is better than less, if Yulong can keep some troubles out, it doesn't matter if she shares a little bit.
"Yes, I just don't know what Her Royal Highness the princess wants?" Alan crossed his hands in front of his chest, his eyes looking straight ahead, as if the person he was talking to was not Yulong beside him.
And Princess Yulong was similar, she didn't look at Allen, and said, "Friendship." ”
"Friendship?" Allen couldn't pretend anymore, and looked at Yulong suspiciously, "What do you mean?"
"You and I should not hide it, I know who you are, and I hope to gain your friendship. If something is going to happen in the future that I don't know, I hope you can remember this friendship and notify you in advance. ”
Yulong stared at Allen's eyes at this time, looking extremely sincere.
Alan understood what Yulong meant, but he didn't dare to look directly into Yulong's eyes, after all, what she thought was the truth was still false.
But then thinking of what Yulong said, it seems that Yulong has also discovered a lot of things that have been wrong recently. However, saying this kind of thing to herself as her, it seems that Emperor Yuheng also has something to hide from this princess who he regards as his successor, which is really similar to Allen's own situation.
So Alan also met Yulong's beautiful and agile eyes, "Okay, I promise you." ”
