Chapter 80: Hole Cards
With the order of "Master Wang", the young man who was waiting outside the private room responded and took two guards to the mule cart outside the pawnshop to carry things.
Soon, there was a wooden huller for hulling rice and a bag of rice in the open space, and a large fan suitable for iron shops and brick kilns.
Even the table was placed with a household wind box and a small wooden binocular.
"Do you have a stove here?" Mr. Wang picked up the household wind box on the table, "I want to install it on the edge of the stove, so that you can see what the specific use is." ”
Shopkeeper Zhao, who was still confused a moment ago, was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to invite Master Wang to go to the stove room behind the shop.
Xu is shared with the silver building next door, and the stove room behind is not small.
Mr. Wang asked people to make holes in the edge of the stove first, and then install the air box by himself.
Then he had the big iron pot filled with water, and when the firewood in the stove was on fire, he began to pull the wind box lever with his right hand.
Shopkeeper Zhao didn't see what this old man Wang was going to do at first.
Out of reluctance to this old man Wang, and an attitude of respect for the eldest master of his family?
He just wanted to see what kind of fame he was doing, and it was even rarer than pearls.
The main thing is also to avoid missing out on any treasures.
But looking at the wooden box that was pushed and pulled, the fire in the stove.
He came to his senses!
Who doesn't have a stove?
With this push and pull, the firepower in the stove will become the boss, but you will be able to control the heat, and you will not worry about the lack of heat when you go back to the house to entertain guests!
Besides, you don't have to worry about the fire burning in the back of the stove room once someone doesn't watch on the side, the sparks will pop out and cause water to splash outside!
Great stuff!
It's a baby!
"With this, it's no problem if you want to save firewood. Do you calculate how many households in our Daliang country burn firewood, and they can save a lot of silver a year? Ministry of Works, Imperial Court? ”
Yes, yes, your majesty, what a credit to the emperor!
"My eldest brother is a strange man, and this is what he made up.
He doesn't like to be famous, he is afraid of trouble, I heard that your family Lord Zhao is in the Ministry of Industry. ”
Shopkeeper Zhao suddenly realized.
He said that it was a strange thing, why didn't he go to the silver building next door to sell pearls, but ran to the pawnshop, it turned out to be for the baby to test his attitude three times and twice!
"This time, he asked me to see how your Zhao family's pawnshop is doing, and then I will see the opportunity to act.
I watched it, and you were very happy. Next, let's try the second thing. ”
Shopkeeper Zhao was so happy that he said yes.
Seeing this attitude, Mr. Wang was not surprised, and asked people to move the big fan to do another test.
The effect is definitely not bad.
No more than the household wind box that has been recorded in history has not been circulated among the people, but large fans suitable for iron shops and brick kilns have always existed.
In this era, due to the limitation of transportation conditions, many projects that require a large number of bricks will be built in kilns to burn bricks on site, so brick kilns are very common.
With Zhao's knowledge, he naturally does not know what the fan of the brick kiln is like, but he is afraid of comparing anything.
Without too much careful testing, it can be seen to the naked eye that although this is also called a fan, in any respect, it is far from being comparable to today's wind turbines.
Return to the private room.
When the two guards carried the fan and the little servant came back with the wind box, Master Wang had already picked up the wooden binoculars to teach the shopkeeper Zhao how to use it, and then used the bag of rice to test the huller.
Shopkeeper Zhao was stunned.
Looking at the hulling machine, I couldn't put it down and held the binoculars, my heart was about to jump to my throat, so many treasures, or priceless treasures!
Isn't he a ...... if he is offered through his hand?
The old Chaofeng coughed.
Shopkeeper Zhao eased his mind, secretly thinking about what price should be given, leaving the old courtiers and letting the rest of the staff exit the private room.
Seeing this, Master Wang finally showed his hole cards - took out the eight volumes of drawings in the package that the young man had been carrying before.
He was generous and didn't worry about how much the shopkeeper Zhao and Lao Chaofeng could remember when they saw the drawings, and he was quite patient to pick one of the drawings for explanation.
For example, the size marked on the drawing can also be enlarged in proportion, and the small characters marked with an iron character can be changed to iron, etc., which are also briefly described.
When it came to the last drawing, that is, the one he picked for explanation, it was time to negotiate the price, and Master Wang was very resolute.
Not ten thousand taels of gold, but ten thousand taels of silver.
"Shhh ”
Master Wang smiled noncommittally, "I won't hide it from you, my eldest brother is still optimistic about the two adults in the capital, you are not right here, I will leave for the capital tomorrow morning." ”
"Wait a minute."
Master Wang continued to roll up the drawings, "In fact, no matter which of these pieces are the same, the drawings alone are worth 10,000 taels." If you don't believe it, you can ask the old gentleman to know. ”
The named old Chaofeng frowned and was silent, taking advantage of the fact that Master Wang lowered his head to roll up the drawings, nodded slightly to the shopkeeper Zhao who was looking at him, and shook his head at the door.
Even if Master Wang didn't see them fighting any lawsuits, he knew that he had brought guards, and there were subordinates staring at the guards, and these two people didn't have the courage to snatch them.
Shopkeeper Zhao understood, "Master, my lord Wang, what are you anxious about."
You see if this will work, the little one will send someone to invite the third master of our family to come over. ”
Oh, I can invite you to your house before tomorrow morning, Zhao Laosan, you win!
Master Wang smiled secretly, he had long expected that there would be this one, and he could still let Zhao Laosan come?
Even in order to avoid revealing his stuffing one day in the future, Zhao Laosan had already been transferred away by his daughter-in-law at this time, otherwise he could have opened no more than 10,000 taels of silver!
If you don't know the situation of this era, as far as the previous two pearl businesses are concerned, the shopkeeper of the Zhao family's pawnshop will definitely be able to do the business of 10,000 taels of silver.
"Xiao Xiangzi, serve a pot of tea to the nobleman." The old Chaofeng shouted and laughed, "Just rely on Master Wang, you are worried about our eldest master, and silver is not a matter."
I'm really sorry, I still need to report to our three masters when I use 10,000 taels.
Shopkeeper, you go and send a guy to report to the third master. Master Wang, would I like to sit with you next? ”
As if he hadn't sent a buddy yet, Master Wang silently estimated the time and hesitated slightly, "Then I'll wait for another cup of tea, and if I delay any longer, I can only wait for next time." ”
The old courtier thanked him, "Master Wang has a kind face, he looks like the north, and he listens to the accent like a southerner, but he is like a brother of mine." ”
"Seventy percent like? You see. "Master Wang suddenly came to the spirit, and without any weakness, he took out the road guide and waist card, and handed it to the old courtier.
Anyway, when the business is negotiated, the information on the waist card must be registered when the contract is made.
"The road leads to the capital, why did I come here?
Except that my eldest brother asked me to come to you, and to tell you the truth, I still want to find someone. My aunt's eldest son in the early years ......"
