"Hey, by the way, Xiaoxuan~! I heard that Qiquge will sell a batch of glassware tomorrow, right?"
The west courtyard of Li Mansion.
Li Tai, a little fat guy, didn't know what politeness meant. He sat on the other side of the stone table, crossing his legs leisurely, eating iced grapes and watching Li Zexuan write a novel.
After a while, he suddenly remembered the news in today's newspaper, um, it should be "advertising soft article", so he asked.
"Hmm~! Yes~! Didn't you already know about the glass made in the workshop before~? Is there anything strange~?"
Li Zexuan said without raising his head.
Last month, he gave a class to Li Tai, Meng Wenhao, Li Yu, and Tiedan in the workshop, which not only talked about the principles of geomagnetism, but also touched on a little knowledge of glass manufacturing.
"Hehe~! I don't find this strange at all. When you made glass to use in compasses, I knew you would use it to make money one day~! What I find strange is, what is the bigger surprise you mentioned in the newspaper? Surprise~?”
Li Tai rubbed his hands and said with a smile, that look was quite vulgar.
Li Zexuan raised his eyes to look at the little fat man, curled his lips and said: "This thing is a surprise to others, but to you Qingque, it is~~"
"What is it~?"
Li Tai rolled his eyes, and he suddenly had a very ominous premonition.
"It's a surprise to others, but it's a shock to you, haha~~!"
Li Zexuan laughed loudly.
It is not unreasonable for him to say this. The glass mirrors in Qiquge are mainly for beauties and ladies. Li Tai, a fat man with a fat face, probably would not be willing to look in the mirror even if he bought it.
"Fuck, get out~! Why does this girl's thing scare me~? I want to see what it is~!"
Li Tai said angrily.
"Haha~! You can see it tomorrow~! Then Qingque, do you think what I said is right~! Haha~!"
"Hmph~! I will be waiting~!"
The little fat man patted the table and walked away.
"Ah~! I have met His Highness King Wei~!"
When Li Tai just walked to the entrance of the west courtyard, Han Yuxi happened to be returning from Mrs. Li's place in the east courtyard with two little maids. When she saw it was Li Tai, Han Yuxi subconsciously gave her a blessing.
Li Tai's legs shook in fright, and he quickly gave him a hand and said: "Sister-in-law, uh, Master, please don't be too polite~! It's too late, it's too late~!"
A few months ago, Li Taike had heard about Li Zexuan's single-handed attack on a copycat for Han Yuxi. Normally, he could play around with Li Zexuan and make small jokes. It was just "romance between men". Now, Facing Han Yuxi, he didn't dare to smile too playfully, otherwise there was no guarantee that Li Zexuan wouldn't pick him out with a sword.
"This~~!"
Han Yuxi hesitated for a moment, and then she remembered that the prince in front of her was her husband's student! She didn't know what to call such a complicated relationship.
"Haha~! Just call me Qingque, Master. My husband is writing a book in the pavilion. He has something to do at Tai's house. Let's go ahead. Master, it's up to you. If you don't see me off, I won't see you off~!"
Li Tai waved his hand and ran away. He didn't dare to hear Han Yuxi call her His Highness the King of Wei again. If Li Zexuan heard this, he might give him little shoes to wear in the future.
"Is Mr. Xian still busy? I just met King Wei, uh, why is Qingque so flustered~?"
Han Yuxi came to Li Zexuan and couldn't help but ask.
"Haha~! What~? Did you just meet that kid~?"
"Well, I happened to meet you at the door."
"Did that boy use his status to show off in front of his wife~?"
"Haha~! That's not the case. On the contrary, I feel like he is a little afraid of me~! What were you talking about just now, sir~?"
"Haha~! It's okay, it's okay~! Madam, please sit here for a while. When my husband finishes writing this chapter, let's go have dinner together~!"
……………………
The next day.
As soon as the East Market opened in the morning, I saw a small group of people heading straight for Qiqi Pavilion with a clear goal.
Previously, the new horse-drawn carriage "Don't Touch Me" brought many purple and even red members to Qiquge. These people enjoy huge discounts and priority in queuing. When Qiquge releases a new product, they are the first to do so. When they arrive, in their opinion, if they buy it, they will earn it.
It has to be said that although the things in Qiquge are expensive, Qiquge has used super high product quality to prove that everything here is worth the money. Therefore, those who can enjoy discounts always like to come to Qiquge to buy things.
Qiqu Pavilion was well prepared today. As soon as the first batch of customers arrived in front of Qiqu Pavilion, they saw dozens of shelves in the open space. There were red cloths on the shelves. Obviously, everything on the shelves was today. Glass cups and lamps for sale.
In addition, there are two huge plaques as tall as one person standing at the entrance of Qiqi Pavilion. They are still covered with red cloth. No one can see what is inside, and they are talking about it below.
"Hey~! Brother Cao, are you here too~?"
"Haha, I have nothing to do, so I just came here to see the excitement~!"
Cao Wendong held a folding fan and laughed.
"Hehe~! I'm afraid Brother Cao is not just looking at it~? I hope Brother Cao can leave some soup for us people to drink later~!"
Those who came to line up so early were not stupid people, many of them were businessmen with a keen sense of smell.
In this era, all the colored glaze in the Central Plains was supplied by Hu merchants. It can be said that in this field, Hu merchants were in a monopoly position. There was no way for the Central Plains merchants to get a share of the pie. They could only follow behind and eat what others left. Drink other people's leftover soup to earn money for running errands.
However, Qiqu Pavilion was actually able to provide such a huge amount of glassware today. These vendors immediately became aware of the news. Most of them had Qiqu Pavilion membership cards. In their opinion, being a second-tier vendor in Qiqu Pavilion would definitely be a success. You can earn more than buying goods from Hu merchants.
These people never thought about the problem that the goods would not be sold, because although there were Hu merchants coming to Datang to sell colored glaze at this time, the quantity was generally very small. For the entire Tang Dynasty, colored glaze was a scarce commodity, so naturally it was not available. Worry about selling.
"Haha~! What did Brother Meng Yang say? Cao, a small family, doesn't have such a big appetite~! Let's make money together, make money together~! Hahaha~!"
"Brother Cao is indeed a cheerful person, haha~! Brother Cao, what do you think those two things standing at the door are?"
"This... this must be the surprise mentioned in the newspaper, right? As for what it is, Cao doesn't know~!"
"Hey~! Brother Cao, you are so humble. There are only a few businessmen in Chang'an who can talk to the Li County man. A few days ago, the Li County man just got married. But remember you went to Li County’s man’s house to sit there~!”
