Chapter 236 Big purchase continued
With everyone's reaction, the manager's confidence, who had been hit, finally recovered a little. He thought that even if you are a wealthy family, you have never seen such a treasure! But it was normal for him to come. This treasure is their name. Qizhai was just transported from the Western Regions a few days ago. [] That's still a secret route. No other jewelry stores do not have such treasures at all! So it can be called the only scorpion shit, so naturally no one knows it!
"Well, it's not bad. I didn't expect that I could still get glass in this era, and it was made perfectly, it's not bad!" However, Zhang Linqi's voice sounded with a slight surprise.
"What honorific guest, do you actually know the name of the treasure?" Suddenly, the word "glass" came out of Zhang Linqi's mouth. The manager seemed to have seen a ghost, and was shocked. He thought that this kind of treasure was in the Western Regions, and it was also a rare thing that only princes and nobles could not possess. But the young master in front of him could call it out casually. It was really amazing!
"What, is this Liuli?" Zhang Qingci was immediately excited when he heard this. He recited loudly: "I know Liuli, and the immortal poet has a poem that says, "Liuli sweats and boats, and things are very exciting and worrying." It is used to describe the bird waves. However, ancient books record that Liuli is not transparent! It is like the piece of medicine and jade worn by my father. How can this happen now?"
"Haha, this is not surprising." Zhang Linqi said with a smile: "According to the technical level of the Ming Dynasty, such pure glass is still not possible. According to my guess, this should have been passed down from the Western Regions. Is this right, what I said?" Zhang Linqi asked the manager.
"Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Just-Jus
Speaking of this, the name of the treasure is about to emerge, which is Glazing. What Zhang Linqi said before is also based on. Glazing refers to crystal works made of natural artificial crystals of various colors as raw materials and are made of ancient bronze dewaxed casting method at high temperature.
However, this technology has been basically lost in the Ming Dynasty and is only recorded in legends and monsters. For example, Sha Seng in "Journey to the West" was demoted to the heavenly court because he broke a glass cup. Or the semi-finished glass (medicine jade) can be seen occasionally. But such semi-finished glass is still regarded as an accessory for princes and nobles!
"Oh, this thing is called Liuli. The name is not very good, but the thing is quite beautiful." Tang Yanyan smiled and picked up a horse made of Liuli and played with it. Tang Yanyan didn't understand the poems made by the immortal, but it did not prevent her from appreciating the beauty of Liuli.
"Hehe, Yanyan, Liuli is not appreciated like this," Zhang Linqi said with a smile. As he said that, he took Liuli from Tang Yanyan's hand, then walked to the side, and gently turned with the warm sunshine. It was amazing. As Zhang Linqi turned, the glass in his hand radiated a colorful light. And the colors were still flowing naturally,
It's like there's life!
"Wow, it's so beautiful," Tang Yanyan screamed. Not only her, but also Zhang Qingci and Princess Changping all showed surprise on their faces, and were shocked by Liuli's beauty. It can be said that only Zhang Linqi and Fang Jianping could maintain a transcendent expression.
Because in later generations, Zhang Linqi and Fang Jianping once gave each other a glass, so it was no wonder that the quality of the glass in later generations was even better than what we have now. Once the sea was incredible, the water was not the clouds except Wushan. After seeing something better, Zhang Linqi and Fang Jianping would naturally not be surprised now.
However, when seeing Liuli, there was still a little touch. Zhang Linqi inadvertently turned towards Fang Jianping. Fang Jianping seemed to sense Zhang Linqi's gaze, and he turned his head slightly at the right time. The eyes of the two of them were immediately intertwined, and the sound was louder at this time.
Through this exchange, the two of them showed a knowing smile on their faces. When it came to these glasses, they remembered the sweetness when they gave each other a glass of glasses in later generations...
It is precisely because of this factor that Zhang Linqi now knows Liuli very well. Fang Jianping didn't say anything, but just smiled and Zhang Linqi "showed". Although he felt a little bullying, he talked with his beloved man, which is also a kind of happiness!
At this time, the manager was already impressed by Zhang Linqi. This honorable guest not only possesses glass, but also definitely this kind of high-end product. It is not that kind of low-level medicine jade. Otherwise, how could he know the trick of this appreciation!
If this manager was originally planning to use this kind of appreciation trick to shock everyone! Unexpectedly, he was disappointed now.
"Ah, are these glasses all inferior products? There are several bubbles inside!" Tang Yanyan, who was still staring at him, suddenly screamed. His regretful meaning revealed his remains. Also, such a beautiful thing actually has flaws, what a pity it would be!
"Ah, no, no, every bubble of Glazing has, and it doesn't matter, and..." Hearing Tang Yanyan questioning the quality of Glazing, the manager immediately hurriedly defended. However, although he was determined to defend himself, he was struggling to effectively express what he wanted to say, and the worst thing was that the bubble did exist. It seemed to be a kind of "flaw"!
However, as a veteran in the jewelry industry, he knew very well that if it could not be proved that this was not a flaw, then the price of glass would be much different. "Young master, let me tell you, the old man is stupid and can't explain it clearly." In desperation, the manager turned his attention to Zhang Linqi, and he was also full of help.
It is also interesting to say that he represents the famous, Qizhai, and Zhang Linqi is the seller, but now another buyer has asked a question, Qizhai, as a seller, but he actually answers it. Instead, Zhang Linqi, the buyer, needs to solve the problem, which is a big strange thing.
"Haha, that's it?" Zhang Linqi said to the manager who looked full of help, Tang Yanyan with regret, and Zhang Qingci and Princess Changping, who also looked the same, thought to himself, let me do a class on glass knowledge popularization. It would also allow people to understand and understand this artistic treasure more accurately, and let it release more dazzling brilliance!
"Yanyan, celadon, and Aning. (Because there are outsiders, Zhang Linqi is inconvenient to call Princess Changping as His Royal Highness to avoid shocking the world. So Aning is used as a substitute. Because Princess Changping's name, the last word is Ning.)
Come on, there are bubbles in the glass, and this is avoided by the law. Because this is naturally formed in the process of glass formation, and every work has it. However, if we change the angle and regard glass as having life, we will think that these bubbles are actually wonderful!
Because it is precisely because of these bubbles that the glass is breathing. Moreover, these bubbles make the glass more expressive and vital. It can emit dazzling brilliance under the sunlight. So, is this also a unique beauty?”
"Oh, after hearing what you said, it's really like this." Tang Yanyan heard Zhang Linqi's opinion and when he went to Liuli again, he found that it was really a bit charming. He couldn't help but feel very excited.
"Miaomiao, it's really wonderful. The young master's insight is really refreshing. The young master is so talented, and the young man admires it very much." After hearing this, the manager admired it even more. He thought that this view was that the princes and nobles who played with glass in the Western Regions had no such insight. They just regarded the bubbles as flaws. Now Zhang Linqi's words have given the bubbles a new connotation.
Don’t want these just a few simple words, but they prove a person’s vision!
To be honest, this manager even had such an idea. If a talent like Zhang Linqi came to work in Qizhai, with his unique vision, he would definitely be a new star in the jewelry industry. However, after Zhang Linqi and Fang Jianping's girls again, he gave up this idea very well. It is true that he is a wealthy family, how could he come to Qizhai beg for it!
"Sir, how do you sell these glasses?"
Seeing the wonders of Liuli, Zhang Qingci couldn't wait to tell.
"That's right, it's better to count 500 taels of silver per!" The manager said in pain after thinking about it. In fact, according to his initial thought, he would at least pay a price of 1,000 taels of silver per. After all, this glass has just appeared in the capital, and everyone doesn't recognize it. It's so rare that things are expensive!
But now that Zhang Linqi is so proficient in Liuli, he is even more capable than him, the old mage. So the manager did not dare to offer a high price in the end. He was afraid that the price would be higher and he would scare Zhang Linqi away.
"The price is quite appropriate for five hundred taels of silver."
After Zhang Linqi smiled unanimously, he said to the girls: "Since that's the case, then start choosing!"
"Okay." When Zhang Linqi said this, all the girls cheered. Although they were not short of money, Zhang Qingci's father was the Minister of Justice and was not short of money. Tang Yanyan had obtained a hundred thousand taels of silver notes, but he was not short of money. Princess Changping was born in the royal family. Her father had just blackmailed a large number of shares in Shuangshenlou, and he was even more short of money. However, he felt that he was just buying and someone helped him pay the bill.
"Oh, this one is very beautiful, and that one is also very beautiful. What should I do? If this continues, I will be so beautiful!" But it was Zhang Qingci, Tang Yanyan, and Princess Changping who started to choose, complained. Yes, when they came, every glass is so beautiful, I really don't know which one to choose!
"Hey, I said, beauties, this is not what Liuli chose, and she has to match it with colors." Zhang Linqi couldn't continue next to him and couldn't help but say.
