Chapter 45 A Deal
Arriving at the ranch.
Wu Luo asked doubtfully: "What kind of business does General Bai want to discuss with me?"
"Wu Zhuangshi, take a look at this first!"
Bai Zhong placed an exquisite gift box on the table.
That is the gift box used to package the glass. It was taken out from the system space on the way here. This is the business we want to discuss with Wuluo today.
"This is……"
Wu Luo finally noticed that Bai Zhong did not come empty-handed.
But this was the first time he saw such a beautiful box and asked, "Can I open it?"
"casual!"
Bai Zhong made a gesture of invitation.
The gift box was not complicated. Wu Luo easily opened the first layer and touched it with his hand. He couldn't tell what material it was made of. It was made of cardboard. People in this era didn't even know what paper was.
As he opened the second layer, he saw the twelve glasses inside. He was stunned for a while, and then carefully picked up one of them.
These glasses seemed worthless to Bai Zhong, but when Wu Luo saw the crystal clear glass, he thought he had seen it wrong. He rubbed his eyes and realized that it was the real thing.
Wu Luo has never seen a cup that can be made so transparent. There are still completely transparent things in this world.
Beautiful, so beautiful!
"General Bai, what is this?"
He came to his senses and put the glass down carefully, for fear of breaking it.
Bai Zhong explained: "Liu Li, the cup is made of Liu Li. What does Wu Zhuang think of it?"
"So beautiful!"
"Liu Li, your name is nice too."
"It's so crystal clear. This is the first time I've seen something so magical."
Wu Luo said in admiration that he fell in love with this kind of colored glaze at the first sight.
Bai Zhong said: "Wuzhuang Shi, do you think this business can be done?"
Wu Luo screamed in his heart to apologize. It turned out that Bai Zhong really had business to discuss with him and was not doing it deliberately to gain benefits.
If Bai Zhong wants to sell this set of glazed cups, he is willing to give him any amount of money.
Anyway, I am not short of money.
"General Bai makes a price. I want this set of glass cups."
In Wuluo's eyes, colored glaze is a priceless treasure, especially a set of twelve cups, so the value of the combination is even higher.
He felt that it was more precious than the Heshi Bi in the past.
This kind of thing had never appeared before. Wu Luo cooperated very well and did not ask Bai Zhong where the colored glaze came from.
Bai Zhong smiled and said: "I will give this set to Wu Zhuangshi."
"Give it to me?"
Wu Luo didn't quite believe it and asked, "What does General Bai want from me? Please just say it!"
Bai Zhong then revealed the purpose of his visit today and said: "What I want to trade with Wu Zhuangshi is the method of making colored glaze. This is more valuable. With Wu Zhuangshi's status, I guarantee that I can use the colored glaze to make a lot of money."
Wuluo's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly asked: "What does the general want to exchange with me?"
If he didn't want to get something from his ranch, Wu Luo thought that Bai Zhong wouldn't be able to do this business specifically.
"The king asked me to take charge of a military camp. The number is not large, only more than 5,000 people."
"But I promise the king that I will find a way to provide food for the military camp myself, so what I want to exchange with Wu Zhuangshi is food."
"Master Wu Zhuang, don't rush to agree. What I need is not just millet, but also mutton."
"Enough mutton to feed five thousand people every day."
Bai Zhong asked again: "What do you think, Master Wu Zhuang?"
Most of the food in the army is just grains, miscellaneous grains, etc.
It is enough for ordinary soldiers to eat, but it is far from enough for soldiers with the amount of training the Iron Eagle Rui Shi has.
Since Bai Zhong wants to reorganize the Iron Eagle warriors, he must distinguish the Iron Eagle warriors from ordinary soldiers and turn them into the strongest elites in the Qin army.
Only when the Iron Eagle warriors are full can they have the strength to kill the enemy, charge into battle, and attack cities and ponds.
After Wuluo heard what Bai Zhong said, he did not agree immediately. As a businessman, he was only interested in profit and carefully considered the pros and cons.
First of all, he calculated that the value of a set of colored glaze cups would be enough to provide Bai Zhong with food and meat for a year. Whether the method of making the colored glaze cups was genuine or not was not yet certain.
But he captured a key word - King!
If he agrees, Wu Luo thinks that he is doing something for the king.
Even if he lost a year's worth of mutton, he thought it was worth it if he could gain a sense of presence in front of the king.
"General Bai, I agree!"
After thinking about it, Wu Luo raised his head and said firmly.
Bai Zhong reminded: "Wu Zhuangshi doesn't need to think about it again?"
"No!"
Wu Luo said: "How much mutton does General Bai need now? I will have it sent to the military camp."
"Wu Zhuangshi is so refreshing!"
Bai Zhong clapped his hands and said: "First prepare enough mutton and salt for four hundred people. I will take it away later. As for the production method, I can definitely tell Wu Zhuangshi that the cost is extremely low and the profit is extremely high.
First, you need a furnace, and then use high temperature to melt the sand. After condensation, you can extract the colored glaze."
"Stove and sand, that simple?"
Wu Luo asked in disbelief.
Bai Zhong didn't actually know much about how to make glass. He had only watched some videos of glass blowing and nodded: "Wu Zhuangshi sounds simple, but it is very complicated to make. For example, those glass cups have to be blown out and then shaped.
…”
He told Wu Luo everything he knew, and there was nothing to hide.
Such exquisite colored glaze is actually made by calcining sand?
Wuluo couldn't believe it.
If it was true and the cost was so low, he knew he would definitely make a fortune.
If it's not true, at most it will result in losses for a year, but it's worth it in exchange for the king's appreciation!
"Thank you, General Bai, for informing me. I'll have someone prepare the mutton and salt right away."
Wu Luo didn't care whether it was true or false for the time being. He wrote everything down first and then went outside to make arrangements.
Bai Zhong deliberately brought Ying Zheng up to facilitate the deal and get the mutton for the next two years first.
Wu Luo has already agreed, and he is doing things for Ying Zheng. He will never go back on his words in the future.
After a while, Wu Luo came back and said that the meat was all ready.
Bai Zhong went outside and took a look. A large cart of fresh mutton was placed in front of him.
There are countless sheep in the entire ranch, and this amount of mutton is just the tip of the iceberg for Wuluo.
"Wu Zhuangshi, I have another idea."
"In the past, there was a pig farmer in our village who accidentally cut off the pig's reproductive organ. The pig became very docile and grew fat easily. The meat was of good quality and not smelly."
"I see you also have some pigs here, you can give them a try."
Bai Zhong brought forward something from later generations in this era in advance.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in addition to the common chicken, duck, goose and mutton, pigs and dogs were also eaten as meat.
Dog meat is the most commonly eaten, but pork is not easily eaten by people because of its smell.
