Chapter 111 Glaze Jewelry?

After Su Chen summarized the reasons for the failure of Wang Anshi's reform, the people of the Song Shenzong period were worried.

Everyone is worried that the reform will bring disaster to themselves, and they are afraid that the tragic situation of displacement will reappear.

As ordinary people, they don't care about changing the law, they just want to live a better life. It's such a simple request.

They have now understood that the original historical reforms brought disasters to the people. Whether it was exploitation by corrupt officials or natural and man-made disasters that had never happened in a century, they could not afford it.

And now it seems that even if the officials and Wang Anshi know that the original reform has failed, they will unswervingly implement the reform this time.

The common people are worried that history will repeat the same mistakes, but they are powerless to change it. They only hope that the officials and Prime Minister Wang can learn from the lessons of history this time and prevent corrupt officials from exploiting them again.

In addition to the people of the Song Dynasty who were worried about Wang Anshi's reform, princes and generals of various dynasties were also thinking deeply about whether there was anything that could be learned from Wang Anshi's reform.

Suddenly, there were a lot less barrages in the live broadcast room. Su Chen knew that everyone was still digesting the reasons why Wang Anshi's reform failed.

After a while, Su Chen saw that the time was almost up and coughed, attracting everyone's attention.

"Okay, that's it for the topic of Wang Anshi's reform. Next, the anchor will bring you Beijing Erguotou."

As Su Chen spoke, he moved out a box containing ten bottles of Beijing Erguotou, all of which were in large bottles.

When Su Chen talked about Erguotou in Beijing, the ancients from all dynasties were all surprised. They didn't know what Erguotou was even if they thought about it.

Zhu Di frowned when he heard the name of Beijing Erguotou. He was the one who named Beijing, but he didn't know when Beijing had Erguotou. It must have been something that appeared in Beijing later!
  Yesterday when the anchor said that Erguotou would be sold, everyone was confused and couldn't tell anything from the name.

Now when everyone sees the anchor moving out a box, they know that the answer to the mystery will be revealed soon.

Su Chen tore open the cardboard box, took out a bottle of Beijing Erguotou and placed it in front of the live broadcast camera.

This bottle of Beijing Erguotou is 500ml, which is about the same size as a bottle of beer, except that the bottle is made of colorless and transparent glass, and the liquor inside is almost full.

If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to spot the liquor inside the glass bottle. At least the ancient people in various dynasties only saw a colorless and transparent glass and did not notice the liquor inside the bottle at all.

Countless ancient people looked surprised and secretly guessed that the anchor wanted to sell jewelry?
  Although the name of the jewelry, Erguotou in Beijing, is a bit unpleasant, the pure and colorless colored glaze is absolutely priceless.

Many jewelry dealers drooled at the sight. They had never seen such clean colored glaze.

The glass they usually see contains a lot of impurities. Wherever it is as clear and transparent as the glass in the anchor's hand, you can see through the glass to the other side.

More importantly, this Liuli was really big, much bigger than what they had encountered before.

According to their many years of experience in the jewelry business, a large piece of colored glass in the anchor's hand is worth at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, and it is also priceless.

As long as it works well, it is very possible to auction off one hundred thousand taels of silver.

If only a small amount of colored glaze was snapped up during their time, the value of colored glaze would go up.

Jewelry merchants from various dynasties were very interested in the colored glaze in the anchor's hands, but others were obviously disappointed and shook their heads slightly.

Whether it is the emperors and ministers of various dynasties or ordinary people, they have some regrets about the sale of jewelry.

Although jewelry is extremely valuable, especially the colorless and transparent glass in the hands of the anchor, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a priceless treasure.

But for them, they can only watch the excitement and cannot afford to buy it at all.

Many emperors are also a little disappointed. Although jewelry is good, they still hope that anchors can sell useful things, such as instant noodles and salt, which are of great use to the country. He Shen: Anchor, your glass jewelry is clear in color and has no impurities. It is of top quality at first glance. I don’t know how much it will cost. His Majesty’s birthday is coming soon. I want to buy one as a gift to His Majesty.

Qianlong: I have feelings for Aiqing.

Qianlong's minister:...

Su Chen was stunned when he saw He Shen's barrage, what glass jewelry.

But he soon realized what was going on, and He Shen must have made a mistake.

"Everyone, anchor, please explain, this is not glass jewelry. Beijing Erguotou is the name of liquor. The glass bottle you see is used to hold liquor."

After Su Chen finished speaking, he was afraid that no one would believe it, so he took Erguotou in his hand and shook it. Instantly, the liquor was sloshing around in the bottle.

It was not until this moment that the ancient people of various dynasties discovered that they had made a mistake. It turned out that Erguotou in Beijing was liquor.

Li Bai: I don’t know how the liquor of later generations tastes. How does it compare with the fine wine of the Tang Dynasty?

Zhang Fei: I like drinking the most. Big brother, second brother, remember to grab more for me later.

Cao Cao: I haven’t tasted wine for a long time since Gu ordered a ban on alcohol. This time I must try the Erguotou of later generations.

Su Shi: It’s incredible how delicious this Beijing Erguotou is, and it’s so luxurious that it’s served in precious glass.

Zhu Di: It turns out that Beijing Erguotou is white wine! I'm going to grab some to taste later and see how delicious this Erguotou, which is originated from Beijing, is.

Hearing that Beijing's Erguotou was a liquor, historical figures from various dynasties were excited.

Wine is everyone's favorite, and I usually drink some when I have nothing to do.

Because of their noble status, they drank almost all the fine wines in the world.

The Beijing Erguotou now sold by the anchor is a fine wine from later generations. Judging from the previous products, it goes without saying that the liquor this time is definitely much better than the liquor of their era.

Seeing the liquor swaying in the anchor's hand, many people swallowed their saliva, as if the aroma of Erguotou's wine had penetrated their noses.

These historical figures are gearing up and are ready to snap up Erguotou in Beijing.

When Su Chen saw the overwhelming barrage in the live broadcast room, he had an expression that was indeed true.

When they heard that what was being sold was liquor, everyone couldn't sit still. Even Li Bai, the master of wine, was blown away.

"Before introducing Beijing Erguotou, the anchor will talk about the glass bottle."

"The anchor saw that many people misunderstood and thought that glass bottles containing liquor are expensive."

"Actually, that's not the case. Glass is very common in our time, the production cost is very low, and it can be seen everywhere in our lives."

"In our future generations, after everyone drinks the Erguotou they bought, they will throw the glass bottle into the trash can."

After hearing this, ancient people from all dynasties were deeply surprised that priceless jewelry and glass were randomly discarded.

Each of the ancients had expressions of regret on their faces. After drinking, don’t give it to them!
  Glass bottles were not valuable in later generations, but in their time they were priceless.
