Liu Mingzhi was quite satisfied when he saw the crowds coming in. He cast a wide net and fished in a large area. If one of the onlookers was willing to pay money to buy a mirror, it would be a profit for Liu Mingzhi.
The only materials used to make mirrors are those objects. Once you become proficient, the cost of each mirror is only a few dozen cents. Selling five hundred taels of a mirror is simply a profitable business.
As for the matter of agreeing to pay the housekeeper, you can stay where it is cool. Speaking of shamelessness, the dignified Young Master Liu has never been afraid of anyone. He has a sick mind if he doesn't make any money with his free money.
As for the issue of title or not, it was not within the scope of Liu Mingzhi's consideration. The lord also had to eat and drink, and without money, the job of the lord was meaningless.
Could it be that for the sake of the so-called honorable face, he starved to death, and then Fu Shan found a geomantic treasure land to bury him, and set up a stone tablet that will last forever to praise him for not bending down for five buckets of rice? This girl is sick, right?
"Hey, this eldest brother sees that you are still in high spirits. He will buy a rare mirror for his concubine. It will ensure that you will have the most ecstatic night. Come on, have one. It only costs five hundred taels."
The middle-aged man who was called "big brother" by Liu Mingzhi was about forty or fifty years old and was wearing the clothes of a member of the army. Liu Mingzhi must be thick-skinned. Otherwise, just this sentence "big brother" is not something ordinary people can say.
You, a twenty-year-old brat, call a man of your father's age your big brother. I really don't know what you think.
The middle-aged man in Yuanwai's clothing looked at the mirror on the stall with a flushed face. He was excited to see such a rare thing, but also embarrassed to be called "big brother" by Liu Mingzhi.
The man in the middle wanted to pick up a mirror and look at it carefully, but he didn't dare to do it. He looked at Liu Mingzhi nervously: "This little brother, can I take a look first?"
"Brother, you can look at it as you like. If it breaks, there's no charge."
The middle-aged man carefully held a mirror and looked at the clear face reflected in the mirror. He couldn't believe that there was such a clear mirror in the world.
"Hey, this young lady is so beautiful. She must be a famous beauty in the capital. Let's get a mirror that best matches the beauty. It only costs five hundred taels of silver. You can't buy it at a loss, and you can't be cheated."
A girl in the crowd who was quite gorgeously dressed and a little more classy than Ying'er looked shyly at the mirror on the stall and didn't care at all about Liu Mingzhi's words.
All her heart was focused on the mirror. She saw someone was already playing with the mirror. Although the girl was a little shy, she still picked up a mirror and looked through it with her face half-folded using a small fan.
With her red lips slightly parted, the girl looked at the clear figure in the mirror without moving. She was another girl who was obsessed with her charming appearance and couldn't extricate herself.
Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Liu Mingzhi felt happy. There was a high probability that these two businesses would be successful.
Without disturbing the two distinguished guests, Liu Mingzhi greeted the others: "Young and old gentlemen, what are you still hesitating about? If you don't want to buy it, you can take a look. There are only fifty mirrors. If you come early, there will be some. If you come late, you can take a look. Not even."
Liu Mingzhi fully understood the principle of rare things being valuable, so he compressed the number of mirrors to a position that he could accept.
The people who were still hesitant at first did not dare to step forward for fear of accidentally breaking such rare objects. After hearing Liu Mingzhi's words, they no longer remained reserved and everyone crowded in front of the stall.
After all, it was the people in the capital who underestimated the money in their pockets. Compared with the local people, they looked at the plainly dressed people and casually handed over a five hundred tael silver note.
"Give me one."
"I'll bring you two mirrors."
"Bring me a mirror."
"Be careful, don't break my mirror, otherwise I will end up with you."
Liu Mingzhi hurriedly took the banknotes one after another, and then handed out a mirror. Looking at Liu Song and others who were still in a daze, Liu Mingzhi jumped in anger: "You idiots, what are you still looking at? Help me." .”
Only then did Liu Song and others realize what they were doing and hurried forward to help collect the money and sell the goods.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all fifty mirrors on the stall were swept away, and Liu Mingzhi also had a stack of silver notes in his arms.
In front of the empty stall, a sound of crying came. Liu Mingzhi looked subconsciously and saw a woman squatting on the ground covering her face and crying. Judging from her clothes, she was the second distinguished customer who came to buy a mirror.
"Girl, what's wrong with you? Don't cry if you have something to say. In front of my stall, people think I did something to you?"
The girl looked at Liu Mingzhi beside her with tears in her eyes and pointed at a piece of broken glass on the ground: "They squeezed my mirror to the ground and it's gone."
Liu Mingzhi looked over and saw that a mirror had been broken into hundreds of small pieces, reflecting the dazzling light. It must have been that the girl had a soft body and did not squeeze out of the crowd after buying the mirror.
"Don't cry. Since you are the second person interested in buying a mirror, I am giving you a mirror as a gift."
The girl stopped choking and looked at Liu Mingzhi with red eyes: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. Who doesn't know that this Sir is true to his word? Just think of it as an activity done by me to give back to new and old customers. Stop crying and give you a mirror directly."
The girl was not polite and stretched out Bai Nei's jade hand directly towards Liu Mingzhi.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the girl's outstretched palm with some embarrassment: "What about that, I don't have it right now."
When she heard that there was no mirror, the girl was about to cry again and looked at Liu Mingzhi with sobs.
"No, no, no, don't cry. How about I return the banknote to you first, and then you come back to buy a mirror. I will leave you the best one specially?"
The girl shook her head stubbornly: "I want a mirror now, I don't want a banknote."
"This..." Liu Mingzhi looked at the empty stall in embarrassment. He was about to close the stall. He didn't want to control the number of mirrors flowing out. He was too tired. He was so crowded that he almost lost his breath. After getting angry, the market for mirrors has opened up and will definitely become popular in the capital. When the time comes, he won't have to worry about buying and selling. He just plans to hand it over to Liu Song and others for sale in the future.
Now he just wants to go back and have a good sleep.
The girl pouted when she saw Liu Mingzhi's hesitant look: "Brother, I want a mirror."
Liu Mingzhi's eyes turned red and his heart softened. He stared at the girl in front of him who was about sixteen or seventeen years old. She stretched out her hands to ask for something, very much like her sister in her previous life. That pitiful expression directly touched the deepest part of her heart. Soft place.
Liu Mingzhi squeezed his eyes twice, took away the cat urine and nodded gently: "Okay, brother will get it for you."
Liu Mingzhi, who returned to the back of the stall, took off his robe and threw it on the table: "Liu Song, take someone back to get the mirror. Another fifty...no...another one." Hundreds of mirrors, the young master sacrificed his life to accompany the gentleman today, how can I not make money if I have money?"
Liu Song hesitantly looked at his young master who was blushing: "Master, we don't have so many people, a hundred mirrors are not light." Liu Song's words are not unreasonable. All the mirrors made by Liu Mingzhi are one foot and half a foot high. The wide size, no matter how small it is, it will be difficult to control the quality of the mirror. After all, it is not an industrial machine, and it requires considerable technical requirements to make it by hand.
"Pig Brain, don't you know how to use a cart?"
After Liu Song left, Liu Mingzhi called to the girl: "Girl, it will be crowded outside in a while. You come inside first, and I will prepare the best one for you later."
The girl nodded excitedly: "Brother, my name is Yun Xiaoxi, what's your name?"
Liu Mingzhi was stunned. He felt as if he had seen this girl Yun Xiaoxi somewhere, but he had no memory of her at all.
"My name is Liu Mingzhi, just call me Brother Liu."
The girl stared blankly at Liu Mingzhi with two big black eyes, with a trace of confusion in her eyes. She looked at Liu Mingzhi's waist but found that there was nothing, so she closed her eyes.
