Chapter 6 Glass is a luxury

Chang'an City also begins to get hotter in June, and it gets even worse after work.

Decorate the shop and let the maids play with the glass products of different sizes and shapes exchanged from the system in the shop.

Yang Fan himself leaned quietly at the door of the shop, sipping the sour plum soup he bought.

After adding ice cubes, the taste becomes even more sour and delicious.

Not to mention, the original food is delicious. In this kind of weather, you should have a refreshing cold drink.

Although Yang Fan traveled through time, he doesn't like beer or cola and other otaku drinks.

At this time, his shorts and shorts attracted the attention of passers-by from time to time, but he didn't care about this and still went his own way.

But when passers-by threw coins to him, it made him a little depressed. How could I look like a beggar?

Isn't it just a matter of exchanging a set of jeans with holes when the work gets hot?

How did you know that in the original world, holes in clothes and pants meant fashion?

Who makes you ancient people so conservative that you wear long gowns on hot days and are not afraid of covering up prickly heat?

It was said that women in the Tang Dynasty were open-minded. After observing for a long time, he didn't even see a woman wearing scantily clad clothes, let alone one with bare breasts.

It's not like the world before time travel. In order to keep cool, women wear less and less every year. They actively respond to the slogan of saving fabrics for the country, and some even have no choice but to use fabrics.

"Sir, the glass is all set up, would you like to come in and take a look..."

The little maid Xing'er in the shop happily took a mouthful of cold sour plum soup, stretched out her head and shouted to Yang Fan, the look in her eyes was full of worship.

But she felt a little funny in her heart. She saw the young master being treated as a beggar just now.

Gong Ziping always likes to be unexpected when doing things, but she still admires him no matter what.

Because the young master is not only good to her, well, not just her, he is also good to all the servants.

Just like when I went to buy sour plum soup just now, I specially brought one for her and Wan'er, and it was served with ice.

You must know that in June, only the royal palace or wealthy families can eat ice. After all, hiding ice since winter is not something ordinary people can afford.

Yang Fan didn't expect that an unintentional move would be so great in the eyes of the little maid and the servants.

Although he also knew how to make ice from saltpeter, he never wanted to make money from it. After finally traveling to the Tang Dynasty, he was not here to sell cold drinks. What was the use of being a cold drink tycoon in the Tang Dynasty?

At this time, a group of soldiers appeared on the street and were walking towards the shop. The leader was a young man with a leopard head.

After a casual glance, Yang Fan didn't care. He knew that this was to maintain the stability of Dongshi.

There are usually no such soldiers patrolling the capital of Chang'an. The smallpox outbreak may have caused many people to suffer recently. As a place where nobles spend their time, Dongshi has some extra protection.

Although the smallpox plague has now begun to subside, the capital of Chang'an, as the most prosperous city, naturally has many more beggars.

Some people even use their status as beggars to engage in illegal activities.

These soldiers were temporarily maintaining the stability of Dongshi. When this group of soldiers approached the door of the shop, they saw Yang Fan leaning on the door, which instantly attracted their attention.

After all, his clothes looked so miserable to these soldiers that it was difficult not to notice.

The clothes and trousers were only half-length, and there were holes in the trousers. In addition, the childish face revealed a calmness that was inconsistent with his age.

This calmness made the soldiers think that Yang Fan was a poor boy who made a living by begging and had developed a thick skin at a young age.

Of course, the Leopard Leader also noticed Yang Fan and couldn't bear to see the young man reduced to such a situation.

So he stopped and glanced at the team members behind him. Although the guards were all aware of it, most of the soldiers fumbled in their sleeves for a long time and couldn't find a single copper.

Only a soldier who had just joined the guard carefully placed two coins in the hands of Leopard Head.

"Why just that little?"

Leopard Head seemed very unhappy because he didn't see that the begging boy didn't even have any neat clothes!

After all, you are also the left guard on duty in the palace, why are you so stingy?

Although it's a bit embarrassing to be appointed by the emperor to maintain market stability, it shouldn't be like this.

The soldier looked at the unkind look cast by the leopard's head and felt secretly bitter in his heart.

Along the way, I saw countless hungry people and beggars. Every time I saw them, I had to give them some money.

Just empty your own money and come to us again. One or two will be enough, but in the end we won’t have much money at all.

Besides, you won't be reimbursed for the money you gave away, but you have a father who has a lot of land and property, so you don't have to worry about spending money.

The resentful eyes of the team members made Leopard Tou feel a little embarrassed. He could only touch his nose and walk to the door of the shop, holding two copper coins in his hand and handing them to Yang Fan.

"Take it, even though it's a little small, if you save some money, you should be able to last for a day or two. Alas, at such a young age, you should find something to do..."

Yang Fan was immediately speechless, and couldn't help but feel a little angry. This was the second time that he was made a beggar, and he was dressed so much like a beggar?

He glanced at the leopard but did not take the copper coin. He took a sip of sour plum soup and asked:

"Who are you? How do I look like a beggar?"

After speaking, he pointed to his white and tender skin.

At this time, Leopard Head was a little dumbfounded. He was still disliked for giving money. How could he be such an arrogant beggar?

But looking at Yang Fan's delicate skin, and then looking at his dark hands, I couldn't help but wonder if beggars today are so white? If I just look at my skin, I look more like a beggar.

At this time, the soldier who had just taken out the copper coins came up to him and shouted: "I don't know why, but do you know who this is? This is Young Master Cheng Chumo, the captain of the Left Guard Army. It is a great blessing for you to give you a reward, so hurry up."

Take it."

Bing Ding's words made Yang Fan look at Cheng Chumo a few more times, not because he was interested in Cheng Chumo, but because he wanted to see what kind of person the son of Cheng Yaojin, the most cunning figure in the Tang Dynasty, was like.

Many people think that Cheng Yaojin only knows three axes and is a complete fool, but Yang Fan doesn't think so.

Among the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty, the most cunning one was Cheng Yaojin. He was a man of great wisdom and foolishness.

We must know that of all the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty, only Cheng Yaojin stood up in the court without falling. This shows how powerful he was.

I stared at Cheng Chumo for a while but couldn't figure out the reason. I just felt that if I let him play Li Kui in "Water Margin", I could save a lot of makeup costs.

Just as he was about to urge Cheng Chumo and the others to leave the door of his shop quickly and not to prevent him from closing the door and returning to the village, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Isn’t this Cheng Chumo the God of Wealth?

Moreover, my glass products were classified as colored glaze in Datang, so if I wanted to compete in the high-end market, I would naturally have to become famous.

Cheng Chumo is a top living billboard.

As long as he brings the mirror to his home, I believe that all the ladies in Chang'an City will know about it in a short time, which will save even advertising expenses.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan smiled slightly, clasped his fists and complimented:

"Young Master Cheng, I have admired you for a long time..."

Thanks to the young master for the reward, but I am really not a beggar. This dress is the way to wear it in Nanyang, which made the young master misunderstood.

The shop is my property. It was just renovated today. It is filled with rare treasures brought from thousands of miles away - colored glaze.

In order to thank you for your kind deed, my young father-in-law can only buy it in the store today for half price.

Cheng Chumo suddenly realized it. He was wondering, how can any beggar complain that the money is too little?

When I looked up into the store, I was immediately attracted by the bright and colorful wallpapers in the store, and I couldn't help but lift my feet and walk inside.

"welcome."

Suddenly two delicate voices sounded from my ears. When I looked closely, I saw two young ladies standing on both sides of the shop door, bowing to say hello to him.

Cheng Chumo, who had been in the army since childhood, suddenly felt at a loss. Yang Fan motioned the two maids to stand behind the counter and personally guided Cheng Chumo.

"Young Master, please come this way..."

Cheng Chu smiled silently and said:

"Your shop is really special, but I don't know if it is true as you said. All the items sold in it are rare treasures."

Take Cheng Chumo to the counter where various types of glass products are displayed.

Looking at the glazed products (haha, actually just glass products) hanging all over the wall, Cheng Chumo was so shocked that he was speechless. He had never seen so many and such big glazed products.

There are different shapes, the colored glaze that looks like the Chinese zodiac is lifelike, the colored glaze mirror that looks like dressing up is penetrating and charming... I couldn't help but swallow hard.

The largest glass he had ever seen before was only the size of a palm, and it was his father's collection. Cheng Yaojin usually kept it as a treasure and would only show it off when guests came to the house.

Looking at the glazed mirrors hanging on the wall, the smallest one was one foot and the largest one was six feet, how could he not be shocked.

"This...this is really all glass..."

Gently stroking the mirror with his hand, Cheng Chumo seemed to be stroking his lover, so infatuated and reluctant to let go.

Of course Yang Fan knew the impact of the entire wall of mirrors on the ancients.

Things like glass were first introduced to the world before time travel in the late Ming Dynasty.

There was no such thing as glass in the Tang Dynasty, so it is understandable that Cheng Chumo regarded glass as colored glaze.

This is what we want. The more shocking the effect, the higher the value.

Since he plans to take the high-end route, he will not exchange mirrors from the system without limit. It is best to build a glass factory in the future and sell them in limited quantities every day, so as to reflect its high quality.

Isn’t that how the so-called high-end luxury products in previous lives were made? The more limited the product, the crazier people would be.

Cheng Chumo looked at him as if he was possessed by a demon. He touched and then looked at it, and he was still muttering something in his mouth.

Ahem...

Yang Fan couldn't help but remind him, Yang Fan was really afraid that Cheng Chumo had some hidden disease and suddenly burped in his shop.

Cheng Chumo finally came to his senses slowly under Yang Fan's deliberate reminder. Thinking that he had just mistaken the young man in front of him for a beggar, he couldn't help but blush.
