Chu Tang: Tell Li Er at the beginning that I am a time traveler

Chapter 24

After eating from the store, it's time to get down to business.

Almost all the foreign businessmen in Datang were concentrated in the middle of the West Market, a little north.

Because there are concentrated foreign merchant hotels and shops used to trade jewelry and antiques.

When you get to this area, you can find that there are more glazed wares all of a sudden.

And each one is worth a lot.

Li Chong also asked Li Chengqian somewhat to the test: "If you want to find a foreign businessman who knows a little bit about glaze refining technology, where do you think is the most likely place to find such a foreign businessman?"

Li Chengqian replied: "I don't know."

Li Chong: "I don't know, then think about it."

Li Chengqian: "...Look for the one with the biggest business and the most goods in the store?"

Li Chong: "What's the reason?"

Li Chengqian: "Because his business is so big and there are so many goods in the store, he must know some refining methods, otherwise it would be difficult to introduce how valuable the goods are."

Li Chong: "You can't say wrong, then go and try."

Afterwards, the two picked the largest family.

The store owner is a Persian, and the things in the store are also dazzling.

After Li Zhong entered, he didn't rush to ask, but carefully looked at the things in the store.

Almost all of them are colorful glass.

However, it was found that there were very few white and transparent ones.

Probably the ancients still liked bright colors and greenery, and thought it looked better.

The storekeeper spoke Tang dialect with an exotic flavor, and asked, "Mr. What do you want to buy? I have everything here."

Li Chong shook his head, "Is that all you have here?"

The store owner must not be able to bear this tone, you know, he is almost the largest Hu merchant store in the West Market.

It is now lunch time, otherwise, there will be an endless stream of people coming here.

"What do you want, sir, as long as you can tell me, I can find it for you."

Li Zhong said quickly: "I want a white and transparent bottle. The ones you put on this shelf are all colorful, I don't like them."

The shopkeeper said: "White and transparent."

While talking, go back and look for it.

Finally, a box was brought, opened the box, and inside was a glass.

"Is that what you said?"

Li Chong: "That's right, it's this kind! In my opinion, it looks much better than those colorful ones."

"This glazed vessel is very precious because it is produced very rarely. In this way, it is also destined to meet a guest today, so I will sell the guest twenty pieces."

The accompanying guards were shocked, and blurted out: "Why don't you go snatch it?"

The shopkeeper was not in a hurry at all, "This is the purest and most simple colored glass cup. There are quite a few others in my shop, but this colored glass cup is an exception. It is a very rare item."

Li Chong said quickly, "I'll give you sixty guan."

"?"

"?"

Li Zhong: "If you can get another glass cup like this."

"I need a large number of glass cups like this, and the style is customized by me."

"This……"

"Why, can't it be done?"

"How is this possible? The villain just thinks that the guests are too rich."

"Don't ask, if you ask, I am not short of money, sir."

"Guests don't worry, I, An Congjin, will definitely be able to do it for them, but the place of production is not here after all, if I want to get it, I'm afraid I'll have to wait."

"how long."

"At least a year. If there's another accident on the way..."

"Forget it, it's been too long, I can't wait."

Li Chong suddenly thought, why make it yourself, isn't there a ready-made one here?

If you can take the glass in your hand and melt it, and then draw it again, can it also be made into a glass tube.

Anyway...

The glass tube of the sphygmomanometer should also not need much glass.

Once this idea appeared in his mind, Li Chong found that his path seemed to be wider.

In addition...

These colors are not that dark, in fact, Li Chong looked at it, and it is not impossible to try it.

It doesn't necessarily need to be completely transparent.

As long as it is relatively transparent.

"Let's go and have a look at another house."

"Hey, don't leave the guest, then this..."

Li Chong said: "There is only one, it's not perfect, and it's not the style I need. I'll buy it again when I can't find a good one."

After finishing speaking, he left the store without looking back.

This made the store owner itch with anger, this is a big customer.

But be reasonable!
It is really rare for him to have such a good family.

Afterwards, he couldn't help but start to guess the identity of this group of people.

It feels like His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty shouldn't be as prodigal as the other party.

Go to another store.

Li Chong followed suit.

still none.

Li Chong could only show a disappointed expression towards them.

I have plenty of money, but if you don't live up to it, there's nothing you can do about it.

I went shopping all day.

Almost all Hu merchants in West City knew that there was such a person.

In the acquisition of transparent glassware.

I don't know what to do with it, but it is very rich.

At last……

Because he couldn't find it, Li Chong had no choice but to go the second way.

Try buying some off-the-shelf and take them back and melt them yourself to see if you can reshape them.

of course!

Let the people below do this.

and……

Li Chong specially ordered that the price must be negotiated.

This is completely different from the richness before.

Go back to the temple.

Seeing Li Chengqian seemed puzzled, he asked, "Do you know why?"

"why?"

Li Chengqian also asked.

"This is what makes everyone in the world profit. If I really want to get a large amount of white, pure and transparent glass, or even its production method, then of course I have to promise a lot of profit, but it's up to me to buy it or not. Wait until they Because of the high profits, they think that white and transparent glazed wares are valuable, so they buy them in large quantities from the Western Regions. But in fact, according to Datang’s aesthetics, Datang should still prefer those colorful ones. I like white, pure and transparent, just for my personal needs. , then I will be able to buy cheaper and easier-to-use white pure and transparent colored glaze.”

"Of course! This is only theoretical. To put it bluntly, bragging is not illegal. I just want to pretend to be arrogant. In fact, I have seen whiter, purer and more transparent colored glaze. They are just so-so. "

Li Chong sighed.

In fact, the last sentence is the most pretentious.

And Li Chengqian often felt that his teacher seemed a little different from ordinary people.

"teacher……"

Li Chengqian was about to ask a question.

Li Chong happened to say the same thing: "After walking for a day, I almost died of exhaustion. I went back to find someone to beat my legs. What did you want to say just now?"

"It's nothing."

Seeing that the teacher put on the cloak and was about to go back, how dare he ask.

"I'm leaving."

Li Chengqian stood aside and saluted.
