Chapter 5 Glazed Glass and Glass
A week later.
Looking at the bed of equipment, Li Chaosheng decided to start his second adventure in the late Ming Dynasty.
First of all, Li Chaosheng still chose Confucian scholar's shirt this time, but this time he bought a new one. The last one was full of holes due to the gangsters of Lord Long, making it impossible to wear.
Secondly, he learned the lesson from last time. This time Li Chaosheng specially bought a pair of black boots from the Ming Dynasty. Last time, because of the style of the cloth shoes, the black-hearted boss saw the flaw.
Then Li Chaosheng bought a wooden suitcase, which was very large. In addition to containing 80 taels of silver bars, there was also a crossbow that had been dismantled into parts. This was also bought by someone, and it cost more than three thousand.
However, the crossbow is very powerful. It is said that it can easily shoot through a pig, and the crossbow seller also said that don't point at people, as it can easily kill them.
With this crossbow, Li Chaosheng felt more at ease, as he now had the means to attack from a distance.
For close combat, rely on electric batons, and for long-range combat, rely on crossbows. Well, unless you encounter a large force, it should be fine.
However, in order to ensure safety, Li Chaosheng bought an extra electric baton and put it in his box to be prepared, and he also carried the other one with him.
In addition to these, Li Chaosheng also brought a glass in the box, which is the kind of completely transparent glass we usually drink from, and five hundred glass marbles.
These are what Li Chaosheng plans to use for experiments, and they are also another way to make a fortune that Li Chaosheng has prepared.
And this way to make a fortune was discovered by Li Chaosheng when he went to the antique market in the city the day before yesterday. As for why he went to the antique market, of course he was to sell the tea cup he brought from the money shop.
During this trip to the antique market, Li Chaosheng discovered two things. First, his plan to make a fortune from antiques from the Ming Dynasty failed.
The reason is that the things I brought out were too new and lacked the accumulation of time. For example, I brought this teacup back and went to the antique market to find a master to look at it. When the master got it, he first looked at the signature, then the format, and all kinds of porcelain knowledge.
One check.
The conclusion drawn is that in terms of style, workmanship, and all aspects, this thing is completely from the Tianqi to Chongzhen years, and there is no fault at all.
But this thing is too new. I used a machine to test it using the carbon 14 dating method. This thing is from last year at most.
It couldn't be more fake, but the owner of the antique shop warmly entertained Li Chaosheng and bought the new tea bowl for 1,000 yuan.
Li Chaosheng was puzzled at first. Later, during the chat, the owner of the antique shop asked intentionally or unintentionally the origin of this thing and whether he knew the master who made it.
Li Chaosheng shook his head repeatedly. The owner of the antique shop was a little disappointed and finally made a show of his cards. He wanted to find a master who made things to cooperate. If he was willing to match him, he would pay a benefit of 20,000 yuan.
Twenty thousand yuan, to be honest, Li Chaosheng was very excited, and he understood what the boss wanted to do. This thing is new, but it is made exactly like the real thing, with almost no flaws. The boss only needs to use snacks to make it old
You can sell it at a good price in one go.
There are many more fakes in antique shops than genuine ones.
Although Li Chaosheng was very moved, he didn't want to get involved in this matter. He could travel through space. It would be too embarrassing to be caught selling fake goods.
Although the possibility of this matter being exposed is low, don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the unlikely event.
However, the owner of the antique shop is indeed a businessman, although Li Chaosheng insisted that it was this tea bowl that he accidentally discovered on the street stall.
But the owner of the antique shop still left his contact information and took Li Chaosheng to visit the antiques in his store. This time he wanted to show Li Chaosheng the real ones.
In the warehouse of the antique shop owner, Li Chaosheng found an ugly green glass with a very ordinary style.
"Are you fake?"
Li Chaosheng pointed at the glass and said with disgust.
After hearing this, the owner of the antique shop was unhappy: "Bah, bah, what's fake? That's called a fake, but this cup is not a fake. It's genuine from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and it must have been used by high officials."
"how do you know?"
Li Chaosheng looked at the shopkeeper and asked, and the shopkeeper smiled and said: "This cup is called a glass cup. Does it look like glass? In fact, it is made of glass, but the ancients called it glass. This thing is precious, and the output was small in ancient times.
It cannot be used by non-high-ranking officials. In ancient times, a cup like this was more valuable than a Hetian jade cup of the same size."
"Oh, glass was so valuable in ancient times."
…
After returning home, Li Chaosheng prepared this glass. However, the size of the box was limited, and it was difficult for Li Chaosheng to bring more glass products. After thinking about it, Li Chaosheng remembered the glass marbles he played with when he was a child.
Those colorful ones are very beautiful. If glass, ahem...glazed glass is so valuable, I'm afraid these colored glaze beads can also be sold for a good price.
So I opened the purchase channel Pinduoduo and searched for glass marbles.
Buy 400 pills for 11.5 yuan and get 100 pills for free. The average price per pill is 0.023 yuan, which is two cents a piece. It’s really a price that no one will pick up if you throw it on the ground.
But if the owner of the antique shop hadn't lied to him, then he could have made a fortune if a glass bead could be sold for one penny in ancient times. This would be even more violent than exchanging gold and silver.
Li Chaosheng had packed everything, put on a stab-proof vest, carried a box in one hand, and held an electric baton in the other hand, ready to press the switch at any time to shock people.
"Gate of time and space."
The space-time gate was summoned instantly. He stepped forward and there was a burst of dazzling light. In a moment, Li Chaosheng appeared in the dead end where he electrocuted people last time.
It seems that the teleportation through the time and space gate will send people to the place where they left last time, and find another piece of useful information.
In addition, the street was so empty, and the people who were shocked by him were all gone. This meant that time in this world was also passing after he left, and it was not static. There was no time difference between the two worlds.
Thinking of this, Li Chaosheng slowly walked out of the alley and looked around at the entrance of the alley. It was safe!
Carrying the box, he continued to walk forward. In front of him was the city gate he saw last time. Several soldiers were guarding the city gate with their heads tilted. They all looked at the passers-by, especially the things in their hands. Li
Chaosheng couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat when he saw this. These soldiers didn't look like good people.
"Hey, is there anyone out of the city? Is there anyone out of the city?"
When Li Chaosheng heard the shouting, he saw a man holding a riding crop shouting. After hearing this, a group of people walked over, and not far from him was a carriage without a shed, also called a large carriage.
There was a big flat platform, and people sat on it. Although it was uncomfortable, it was easier than walking. Li Chaosheng watched and walked over.
"How much does it cost to go out of town?"
The driver glanced at Li Chaosheng and said, "Where?"
"Tanggou Town."
"where?"
Chapter completed!
