Chunhong walked out of Chun Kee Snack House with her burden on her back.

She glanced back. Her name is written on the lease deed here, and the opening of the snack restaurant is in her name and filed with the yamen. She had every proof that the snack restaurant was hers.

However, Brother Fang's martial arts were so high, Chunhong didn't dare to do so. She was afraid of being retaliated against by Brother Fang.

However, she felt the need to make it clear to the landlord and the yamen. If there is anything in the Chunji Snack House in the future, don't come to her.

Thinking of this, Chunhong found an inn to live in.

A day later, the landlord came to Chen Xiao and Fang Yu and was very unhappy to see that they had built a wooden house in the courtyard. Chen Xiao smiled and said that because the room was not enough to live in, this wooden house could be demolished, and when the time came, they would restore the yard to its original state and would not destroy any of his places.

The two sides renewed the agreement, this time in the name of Chen Xiao.

Then the people from the Yamen came to the Chunji Snack Shop, and they heard Hu Chunhong say that the Chunji Snack House could sell more than 300 taels of silver a month. According to the regulations, they should pay thirty taels of silver a month.

Previously, they had been concealing the report, saying that the snack restaurant sold an average of more than 100 taels of silver per month, and after deducting costs, the monthly net income was 30 or 40 taels. So the government charged them eight taels of silver a month.

The commercial tax of South Vietnam is still relatively humane. The lower the income, the lower the tax rate; The higher the income, the higher the tax rate.

Hu Chunhong took the initiative to go to the yamen to confess his actual income, and the yamen came to collect money, and asked them to pay back taxes and silver, and also to pay fines.

Chen Xiao obediently paid taxes and fines. All of a sudden, more than a hundred taels of silver were gone.

Xiaoshi was annoyed: "Hu Chunhong is not a thing!" She had forgotten how we had helped her in the first place, and if it hadn't been for us, she would have been taken away by the Ruan family. Now you're coming with us! ”

Chen Xiao also felt that he had encountered a white-eyed wolf. It's a dog that bites people and doesn't bark!

Fang Yu comforted Chen Xiao: "Don't be angry, I'll make money to buy you land and build a house right away." ”

Chen Xiao glanced at him: "Am I angry?" I'm not angry. ”

"Sister, aren't you angry when you meet this kind of person?" Little Stone was furious.

"What's the use of being angry, you can bite her?"

"I'm just going to bite her!"

"Don't mess around, we're just ordinary people. If we get things done, we can't settle it. ”

Little Stone was indignant, thinking about how to get revenge on Chunhong.

……

Soon, the market day arrived. Fang Yu bought a bunch of stones.

Chen Xiao saw that this was the stone they had seen on the street. At that time, Fang Yu said that this was a negligible spirit stone, the seller said that it was jade, and Chen Xiao thought it was a quartz stone.

"What do you want to do when you buy these stones?"

"Smelting."

"Smelting stones?"

"Yes."

Fang Yu gave Chen Xiao a sledgehammer and said, "You have a lot of strength, come and help me smash stones." ”

"Going to smash it open?"

"Yes, smash the stones. The more crumbled, the better. ”

Fang Yu himself had a sledgehammer, Chen Xiao had a sledgehammer, and the two began to smash stones.

After smashing a large basket of gravel, Chen Xiao asked what to do next. Fang Yu said that when her peppers were harvested and the land was freed, he would build a furnace and smelt stones.

The chili peppers in the small courtyard are almost finished, and the chili peppers in Nangou Village can also be harvested.

Chen Xiao took the small stone to Nangou Village to harvest chili peppers, hired some people in the village, and made the chili peppers into strings while picking and weighing.

In order to help Chen Xiao save money, Xiao Shi did not spend money to rent a warehouse, but went to find his mother outside Xicheng and asked his mother to borrow a warehouse between them.

He knew that his mother helped Gao Can manage a textile workshop, and they had a large space and many warehouses, so it was no problem to vacate a warehouse. What's more, with his mother helping them look at the chili peppers, he is also relieved. Elsewhere, he was also worried that someone would steal it.

Zhou Huiqin asked Gao Can, and Gao Can agreed to let them put chili peppers.

When Gao Can saw their chili peppers braided into strings and hung on bamboo poles to dry, he suddenly felt that his nephew was stupid. Their peppers are spread out on the ground to dry.

He asked Gao Xiang to come over and see how people dried chili peppers. Gao Xiang saw the woven chili skewers and wanted their people to weave the chili peppers into skewers, but because there were no chili peppers on the chili peppers when they were picked, they couldn't weave them at all.

……

In the blink of an eye, in the middle of August, all the peppers have been harvested. Fang Yu also refined his treasure, the glass cup.

Those crushed stones are the basic materials for making glass, and they are smelted at high temperatures to obtain spars. The spar is then smelted at high temperature to obtain glazed stone. In this process, many auxiliary materials are added.

Then add different metals to the glazed stone and smelt it at high temperature to obtain glazed stones of various colors.

The glazed stones of various colors are smelted together and poured into the mold, and finally the colorful glazed cup is obtained.

They crushed stones in several large baskets, and finally made four glass cups, each the size of a wine glass.

The mold carved by Fang Yu is lotus flower shape, from the shape of the cup, it is not too special, but the color pattern naturally formed after the dissolution of colorful glaze, each cup is different, colorful, crystal clear, very amazing.

Xiao Shi and Cao Yong had never seen such a beautiful cup, and they heard that this thing was easy to break, so they didn't even dare to take it.

"Brother Fang, what's this thing called?"

"Glass Bowl."

"How much can this glass cup sell for?"

"I don't know. I'm going to ask Nie Feng to help me make an estimate. ”

After that, they went to find Nie Feng.

Nie Feng was amazed when he saw the glass jar, and when he heard that they made it themselves, he said that he would buy it for four hundred taels.

"It's only four hundred taels?" Fang Yu was not satisfied with the price.

Nie Feng sneered: "You let me earn some too!" ”

"I'm asking you to help with the valuation, not to sell it to you."

"Brother Fang, you can sell it to me! I brought this glass jar to the capital, and many dignitaries in the capital will want it. Then you can do more and sell to them. ”

"Tell me the truth, how much silver can a glass jar sell for?"

"This ......" Nie Feng thought for a while: "This thing is priceless in the market, it's really hard to estimate." ”

Fang Yu put away the glass cup: "I shouldn't have come to you, I should have gone to Gao Can." ”

"Don't! Brother Fang, how much silver do you want, you can discuss. ”

Fang Yudao: "I want to use these four glazed cups in exchange for twenty acres of land on the edge of the county." If you can help me with this, the glass jar is yours. ”

Nie Feng said: "Twenty acres, at least eight hundred taels of silver." ”

Fang Yu said with a smile: "That's the general purchase price, if the county magistrate and Lord Liu come forward, it shouldn't cost so much silver." ”

Nie Feng frowned and thought about it, and said, "Brother Fang, twenty acres is really not good. A dozen acres is possible. Or...... Why don't you make a few more glass cups? ”

Fang Yu sneered: "You think it's so easy to do." ”

Nie Feng stepped forward and flattered, "Why don't you teach me?" I'll get you twenty acres of land. ”

Fang Yu: "Teach you, plus 10,000 taels of silver." ”

Nie Feng was deflated: "How can I have so much silver!" ”

Fang Yudao: "You help me get twenty acres of land first, and I'll consider teaching you." If you don't have ten thousand taels of silver, you can owe it first. When the time comes, make glass and sell it, and the silver will be deducted from the inside. ”

"Really?" Nie Feng's eyes lit up.

"Really." Fang Yu nodded.

"Then we'll make a note."

This time, someone else asked Fang Yu to set up a note, and he agreed.

The note stated that he would teach Nie Feng to make glass without reservation, and if he violated it, the land would be recovered, and Nie Feng would be compensated 10,000 taels of silver.

Nie Feng didn't want him to lose money, but wanted to learn how to make glass.

Glass is a treasure! You can make a lot of money.
