Chapter 168 Pros and Cons
The two brothers thought about the gains and losses, and they couldn't calm down for a while. They just looked at the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, is our tea wholesale business doing well? Are there many customers?"

The shopkeeper smiled, "I'm afraid the customers have come from afar. Our grocery store has just opened, and you are the first batch of tea customers in our store!"

The two brothers calm down a little, that's good, that's good.

Seeing that the guest's expression improved, the shopkeeper took the initiative to sell other products, "Guest officer, look, we not only have silk and tea from the south of the Yangtze River, but also gems and furs from the Western Regions, as well as our local specialty wool thread and glass. Everything you need to see, I will bring it for you to have a look."

Only then did the brothers come to their senses. Their original intention was to see Liuli, but what is wool thread?Wool thread?Why does it feel like going out for a trip, there are so many new gadgets that they have never seen before in Yongzhou.

"Then let's take a look at the glass and woolen thread."

Qiao Shengli said.

The shopkeeper smiled. All the merchants who came were interested in colored glaze and woolen thread. Without delay, they took out a roll of red woolen thread and a piece of multicolored colored glaze and transparent colored glaze, and handed them to the guests.

"Guest officer, look, this is a special product of our Jincheng, and there is no place next to it. This wool thread can be woven into clothes. It is light and warm, and it is even rarer than silk. There are also some glazes, which can be used as doors and windows. , if anyone uses colored glaze on the doors and windows of a house, it is a great fortune. You know, this colored glaze was used exclusively by the royal family in the previous dynasty! There are also five-color colored glaze, which are more expensive, that is, honored families It can be used, but we have vases made of five-color glazed glass, if the guest officer likes it, you can take one home and put it on the bright hall, it can also be used as a decoration."

Qiao Shengli gently stroked the soft and skin-friendly woolen thread. He never dreamed that there was such a soft thread. How comfortable would it be to weave clothes with such thread?Didn't he wear the cloud from that day on his body?
There are also some colored glazes, which are also ingenious, a masterpiece of creation, thin, transparent and beautiful, and so hard, they are simply excellent building materials, ordinary people can't afford them, but the rich and wealthy in the south of the Yangtze River can definitely afford them.

Qiao Shengli's mind suddenly moved, and he patted his brother's frizzy and rough hand touching the wool thread, and looked at the shopkeeper, "You said this is a special product of Jincheng?"

The shopkeeper nodded, "Indeed, only Jincheng has it at the moment."

"Currently?"

Qiao Shengli grasped the key words.

The shopkeeper explained, "This glass is specially made by the Huo Mansion in Jincheng. It is not available elsewhere. I can guarantee this. But the weaving of wool thread has been passed on by Lu Zhizhou. Lu Zhizhou's book is to let the people of Yongzhou be self-reliant. Therefore, this year’s wool is unique to Jincheng. After next year, there may be other wool thread merchants in Zhangye, Tianshui.”

After Qiao Shengli heard this, his face became serious, "Teaching people how to fish is worse than giving them fish. Zhizhou Lu's benevolence and righteousness, in order to rule the people, spread such a way of making money to the public. It is really a role model for me and others."

The shopkeeper also nodded in agreement, "Who says it's not? With the prescription of this wool thread, this business is a lucrative business, but our wife didn't care, and passed on this thousand gold prescription."

"Ma'am? Are you?"

The shopkeeper stroked his beard reservedly, "Lord Lu is the wife of General Huo, and also the mistress of our Huo family."

Only then did Qiao Shengli suddenly realize, "It turned out to be Master Lu, the God of Wealth. I heard that Master Lu was born in Caoye and worked hard all the way. Not only did he become famous and wealthy, but he also opened up a large number of north-south trade routes. Now Master Lu has come to our Yongzhou, presumably Our Yongzhou business route will soon be smoother, and when I wait for Xiaomin, I won’t have to travel thousands of miles to Jiangnan to purchase goods, but I can purchase Jiangnan goods in Jincheng, and the price is very fair.”

The shopkeeper smiled and nodded, "What you said is very accurate. We, Master Lu, as a parent official, naturally have to make some contributions to Yongzhou, not a vegetarian meal. This year is just the beginning, and next year when the business roads are smooth, come here again. The variety of commodities is more complete, and there will be more customers coming and going.”

Qiao Jiayi couldn't understand what Qiao Shengli was talking to the shopkeeper, but he understood that it was the little God of Wealth who came to Yongzhou and brought goods from the east and the west, colored glaze, and wool yarn softer than a baby's butt.

"Brother, when we came out, my sister-in-law had good news. When we got home, my little nephew must have been born. Let's buy some wool and go back, and let mother make small clothes for my little nephew!"

Qiao Jiayi's eyes were bright, seeing that the roll of red wool thread could not be pulled out.

Qiao Shengli waved his hand, "He's a kid, using this good thing won't ruin his luck. Shopkeeper, how much is this colorless colored glaze? I'm shy in my pocket. I can't buy too much. I just want to buy a few pieces." For the little ones, press it for the parents."

The shopkeeper bowed his hand, "Guest guest is really a filial son. A small piece of colorless colored glass like this one foot square costs three hundred taels of silver. If it is a big one, it needs a hundred taels of silver."

"What? So much difference?"

Qiao Jiayi exclaimed.The small piece of colorless colored glaze is much cheaper than he imagined, but the large piece is much more expensive than he imagined.

The shopkeeper's explanation, "The difficulty of craftsmanship is different. Small pieces are easy to get, while big ones are rare."

"What about the colored glaze?"

Qiao Jiayi asked.

"Colored colored glaze is as big as a slap in your hand, and the asking price is ten taels. If you buy finished colored glaze, it will cost hundreds of taels. If you value our five-color glazed roof, you can also customize it. But this glazed roof, just any one, needs to be bought." Thousand taels."

After hearing the price, Qiao Jiayi was satisfied.He couldn't afford it in the first place, but after hearing the price, he naturally gave up.

"I don't know if it will be cheaper if it is wholesale? I mean the woolen thread and glass."

Qiao Shengli's mind turned quickly. The woolen thread and colored glaze are not sold in the affluent Jiangnan and Kyoto at all. Moreover, if such a precious thing that can show his status, if he brings it from Jincheng, his contacts will also increase. a step.At that time, he will no longer be a bitter businessman, but can become a big businessman he yearns for by relying on glass and woolen thread.

The shopkeeper clapped his hands, "Mr. is very knowledgeable. Our wife said that if you want to wholesale, we can go to the third floor to discuss in detail."

The brothers of the Qiao family went from the first floor to the second floor, and now they have reached the third floor under the glazed roof. Here, Xiao Qiu, who has been waiting for a long time, is waiting for the arrival of many people who may become Huo family merchants.

"woman?"

Qiao Jiayi muttered in a low voice, Qiao Shengli's face remained unchanged, and he stepped forward to salute, "I've seen this young lady."

Xiaoqiu waved his hand, "No need to be too polite, I am the person in charge of Huojia Jincheng Grocery Store, you came up because you are interested in glass and woolen thread, can you tell me how you plan to open up the market?"
