Chapter 235 Mr. Lu, boil water
After going back and forth like this, the boy was already in chaos.
Under Sun Xing's questioning, he explained the whole story clearly.
It turned out that ten days ago, the young man met a seriously injured man outside the city.
The boy was kind-hearted, so he took the man into his home. But I never thought that the other party actually had an extraordinary identity and was a businessman.
The businessman said that he was plotted by his enemies, so he suffered a disaster.
Fortunately, a boatload of colored glaze had been hidden by him in advance. In order to thank the young man for saving his life, the merchant gave him a lot of colored glaze.
According to what the boy said, these colored glazes are completely transparent and warm to the touch, so they should be treasures of excellent quality.
He brought out a piece today because he wanted to go to the pawn shop to exchange for some silver. But he accidentally missed and broke one of them.
"One of them? So you still have a lot of colored glass in your hand?"
Sun Xing narrowed his eyes slightly, and he vaguely felt that his chance might be coming.
There was a hint of hesitation on the boy's cheek.
But soon, he answered honestly:
"Master, I still have a few glazed utensils in my room. That's all I have. If the master likes it, I will get it for him."
Upon hearing this, Sun Xing waved his hand, appearing extremely generous.
"Why do you say that? Am I the kind of person who likes to take advantage?"
"Those colored glazes belong to you, and I will not take them away. However... I am a little curious about what the colored glazes look like."
"How about... just take it and let me see it?"
When the boy heard this, he nodded decisively and said:
"Master, wait a minute, the little one will come as soon as you go!"
Not long after, the boy carefully held a package and returned to Sun Xing's room.
"Master, please look!"
He said, gently opening the package in his hand.
The next moment, Sun Xing was shocked.
Inside the package that looked like an ordinary coarse cloth, there were actually more than a dozen glazed products placed crookedly at the moment.
Although most of them are small items such as wine glasses and tea sets.
But even so, it is a genuine glassware!
In an instant, countless thoughts came to Sun Xing's mind.
He subconsciously wanted to grab the package and take possession of the glass for himself.
But reason told him that these glazed utensils were just a drop in the bucket. That merchant can easily give away so many glazed utensils. I think I should have more inventory on hand!
Thinking of this, Sun Xing's eyes lit up, he stared at the boy and asked:
"That businessman, is he still living in your house?"
Hearing this, the boy nodded immediately.
"Master, the merchant is currently recovering from a serious illness and is still being raised at home. What can you do, master?"
Hearing this, Sun Xing nodded slightly, but his heart blossomed with joy.
"So good!"
"In this case, you tell the merchant that if he is worried about offending his enemies and inviting revenge, why not sell the glass utensils to our Sun family as well?"
"Let him rest assured that our Sun family has a great business and will not cheat him."
To be honest, Sun Xing himself didn't believe it when he said this.
If you don't take advantage of this business, how can you make money from it?
But naturally he would not say these things clearly. And that boy... he was just a servant, how could he possibly understand the secret?
Sure enough, the boy just pondered for a moment and then nodded slightly.
"If this is the case, I will definitely bring this message to you, but I am not sure whether the merchant will agree to this."
"This matter is not urgent. I just want to see him."
Sun Xing said, rubbing his fat palms impatiently. After hesitating for a moment, he took out a few pieces of silver from under the pillow with a painful look on his face.
"Take it, this is what I will reward you with."
"Work hard in the Sun family and you will have a bright future."
The boy took the broken silver and immediately showed a flattered look on his face.
He bowed repeatedly and said with gratitude:
"Thank you, Master, for the reward! Don't worry, Master, I will definitely bring the message to you!"
…
Imperial Palace, Xichang Building,
Yang Dong looked at the glass cup in his hand, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
The Lenggong Manufacturing Factory with Mr. Lu as its staff is worthy of being the ceiling in the field of craftsmen in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
A few days ago, he just briefly talked about the glass production process with Mr. Lu, but he didn't expect to receive the actual product today.
Looking at the glass cup in his hand, Yang Dong subconsciously said:
"Shu Mouse, what does Mr. Lu think of this thing?"
However, after a moment, he did not receive any response.
Yang Dong frowned slightly and then remembered that a few days ago, Shu Mouse was sent out to look for potatoes.
Counting the days, I have been gone for a long time.
I don’t know if this kid’s journey is smooth.
Silently gathering his thoughts, he stood up and walked towards the Lenggong Manufacturing Factory.
Lenggong Manufacturing Factory,
Mr. Lu was leaning on the recliner, shirtless and drinking a small drink, feeling very happy.
When the craftsmen under his command saw this, instead of being displeased, they showed admiration.
"Mr. Lu is worthy of being Mr. Lu. He has actually mastered the art of making colored glaze. I think our Lenggong Manufacturing Factory will be completely developed from now on!"
"I heard that Mr. Yang gave us the profits from Lenggong Manufacturing. Now, our funds should be quite abundant."
"It's a pity that the finished product rate of colored glaze is still a bit low. If the process can be improved, maybe..."
"Okay, don't think too much! It's already very difficult to make colored glaze. The colored glaze utensils made by our Lenggong Manufacturing Co., Ltd. are obviously much more refined than those from the West."
"This is true!"
Perhaps it was the craftsmen's conversation that woke up Mr. Lu from his sleep.
Mr. Lu stretched his waist and cursed in a loud voice:
"Okay, okay, go back to work! Can't you keep your mouths shut about so many things?"
"Isn't it just Liuli? Why make such a fuss?"
"Go away, go away, don't disturb me about boiling water."
As soon as Mr. Lu finished speaking, he heard a clear voice coming from his ear.
"Hey, Mr. Lu. We haven't seen you for a few days, and you've already started studying steam engines?"
"Steam engine?"
Mr. Lu was startled at first, and then a flash of light burst out in his eyes.
He suddenly stood up from the recliner, took three steps and two steps at a time, rushed to Yang Dong, pressed his shoulders and said:
"How do you know I'm thinking about boiling water?"
Yang Dong just smiled slightly and glanced sideways at the various types of pots and pans beside him.
You are so obvious. If I can't see it anymore, wouldn't it damage the reputation of a modern person?
But on the surface, he remained calm and pretended to be confused.
"Mr. Lu, actually I was just guessing."
"There are so many pots and pots and special pot lids. If it weren't for the steam, the little one wouldn't understand."
"You kid, I really saw you right!"
Some people died, but not completely...
