136. The Fifth Retirement World [08]
Zeng Shu thought the two were stunned.
That's right. After all, according to her aunt, this thing called porcelain, although not as expensive as jade, the price of each piece of porcelain is not as low as that of ordinary things.
One piece of porcelain costs one silver. The few pieces of porcelain Zeng Shu has seen in her aunt's palace are mostly utensils.
Ordinary utensils are made of stone. The disadvantage is that it takes time, but the advantage is that the materials can be found everywhere.
People with poor family conditions don't care whether the utensils are beautiful or not. They can polish them into a rough shape by copying the gourd and use them casually.
People with better family conditions don't care about silver and can buy a few pieces with ten coins.
According to the store manager, the manufacturing process of porcelain is very difficult and it is difficult to produce finished products. In addition, the materials are rare, so the price is comparable to the price of ordinary jade.
The brothers are dressed simply. Although they must have spare money, they will not buy such flashy items as casually as nobles.
Zeng Shu cleared her throat, "It has another strange name, called - porcelain."
"I heard that in that shop, every porcelain starts at one silver coin."
"If it is a fine and unique piece, it can even be one gold coin."
One gold coin!
Little Yan Xuan felt dizzy after hearing this.
He was young, but he was not stupid. In addition, he liked to pester his parents and brother to go to the market to buy fun things and food.
He understood the concept of money better than his peers.
He vaguely remembered that when he had dinner at home one time, he learned from his parents' conversation that his father's annual salary was only two gold coins. These two gold coins supported a large family, and there was still a lot of surplus at the end.
Now, if he heard it right.
This bad guy who looked arrogant actually said that those toys made of mud cost one gold coin!
One gold coin!
If he used it to buy cakes, he would probably be able to buy enough to eat for a lifetime.
Yan Xuan clenched his fists,
No, how could he be so short-sighted.
Master Shen said that short-sighted people are also hopeless!
If he gets rich, in addition to buying a cart of cakes, he will also buy the best crickets in the market.
In this way, when he goes to school next time, his group of friends will definitely be extremely envious.
Yan Xuan kept thinking about it, and he didn't even notice that a silly smile appeared on his face.
Yan Ling shook his head and laughed.
"I should have been to the store that Mr. Zeng mentioned. If Mr. Zeng doesn't mind me bothering you, please continue to follow me."
When he turned around again, his tone was light, and the young man didn't show any short moment of shock.
It was as if what he saw just now was Zeng Shu's illusion.
Yan Ling held Yan Xuan's hand. As the guide, he naturally took a half step ahead. His every move was measured.
Could it be that she had mistaken him?
Zeng Shu looked at Yan Ling's back.
She couldn't help but sneer in her heart. That's right, just like her brother said, there are many differences among people in the world, but some people want to make ten of them, while others don't like to show off.
Although Zeng Shu was not sure, she didn't think about it anymore.
In short, meeting is fate. Since he is willing to lead the way, if she hesitates, wouldn't it be indecisive?
Although she is not a big man, she is not a little woman in the eyes of ordinary people.
The fan in her hand gently spun and opened.
Behind the fan, the girl's eyes were very bright!
...
Wu Ge.
It is the name of the store.
The reason for this name is that when the manager came to ask the name of the shop, Yan Ling took the word "物" (object) as the name for convenience, thinking that there were useless items in it.
It is afternoon now.
There is only one manager in the shop, and another manager went outside the shop to discuss a big business of a certain porcelain, and it is said that he is negotiating with customers.
Of course, Yan Ling did not know these things in advance, and they were all said by the manager next to him while chatting with the guests.
And the person who needs to hear this is obviously not a guest named Zeng who has never met the manager before.
But the real owner of the shop.
Yan Ling raised his eyebrows slightly.
Could it be that this manager thought he was patrolling?
It seems that the ancient version of employees are also well versed in modern workplaces!
Yan Ling did not reveal his identity, so the steward naturally did not say it. He smiled and tried hard to sell the porcelain in the box, praising it as if it was free.
"The customer has a good eye!" The steward smiled sincerely!
He pointed to the box Zeng Shu had just seen and said, "This porcelain is the latest one made by our master a few days ago. It has never been released, and it is difficult to have a second original work in the future."
"You can take a closer look at the lines on the outside. Every line is just right. The texture, color, and thickness of the porcelain surface are all fine products. If placed in a sunny place, this thickness of porcelain can just allow the twilight to penetrate, comparable to the best jade."
"The invisible contains the visible, and the visible contains the invisible. According to the master's recollection, when he conceived this work, he took it from the Tao Te Ching - the great way is invisible and one intention..."
Incredible, incredible.
Yan Ling has been to so many worlds and met so many people. He has never seen many people who can almost describe the living as dead and the dead as alive like Guan Shi.
Well, he doesn't count himself.
Yan Ling lowered his head and looked at Yan Xuan. Sure enough, the little guy was stunned.
Tsk tsk, if he wasn't the brother of the "master", he also witnessed how the so-called "high-quality products" started from a design full of confidence, and in the end, because the dragon failed to become a dragon, the tiger failed to The tiger went through a series of repairs and modifications. When the final product appeared, it was so unsightly that it was abandoned by its owner.
Even he was almost fooled by the steward.
Ahem, sure enough, every "masterpiece handed down from generation to generation" needs a boutique shopping guide who can tell lies with his eyes open and whose psychological endurance is so strong that it can explode.
By the way, of course you also need to have a big buyer with deep pockets, an unchanging face, and unique tastes!
…
Zeng Shu originally only looked at it a few more times.
As soon as the steward next to me said it, it was obvious that the roll call was made even without saying anything.
This thing is indeed different from other vulgar objects. It seems that each pattern looks regular when taken apart, but once they are put together, they have extraordinary interest.
Yan Xuan swallowed her saliva, feeling extremely nervous.
Of course he recognized it as a small toy he had made in his brother's yard a few days ago. Later, because it looked strange, he left it alone and no longer cared about it. Who would have expected that it would appear here.
Although... although he really didn't like it at the time, he did it with his own hands after all. Suddenly he saw someone interested in this thing, and it was possible that the other person would buy it for a high price of one gold. .
Just thinking about it made Yan Xuan's heart beat like a thump.
It doesn’t matter if the buyer is the bad guy in front of you!
Master Shen once said that a scholar will die for a confidant.
Although he would not bet his life, he swore that as long as this stupid guy... Bah, bah, bah, it's Young Master Zeng.
As long as they are willing to buy it, even if it is not one gold as the steward said, but only one silver, or even a few copper coins, they are willing to turn their hostility into friendship, and many people will forget all the unpleasantness before.
Even if this person angers them again in the future, for the sake of money, they will tolerate him for a few steps.
Yes, just a few steps!
If it’s too much, don’t be delusional!
After all, not everyone has the status of his big brother in their hearts.
