Chapter 111 Hu Shang returns
Wei Renshi did not go back to Fuchang.
It’s not that there are any other special things to do in Luoyang.
I just think it’s troublesome to go back to Fuchang.
Three hundred people are not a small number, and it takes a lot of energy to accommodate them.
Even if the land at the foot of Pingshan has been taken down by Jiao Haiqing, a wooden house and a coal yard have been built, and the 300 people have just been placed in the first few days, it will definitely be a lot of trouble.
Let this be left for Jiao Haiqing to trouble you, hahahaha!
Wei Renshi hid in the backyard of Yimeng Building. Every day, apart from teaching Wang Xiaosui'er to cook, the rest of his time was to draw various patterns with paper and pen, and draw some of the equipment in his memory in detail.
Of course, most of them are impossible to achieve, but the principle is placed there, and some simple equipment, as long as you know the principle, can be adapted and made in this era and play some role.
But of course, this requires several skilled craftsmen to discuss and discuss together to determine whether the things on these patterns can eventually be converted into physical objects.
Before the craftsmen were summoned, Wei Renshi had nothing to do.
The autumn is getting stronger and stronger, and even under the sun at noon, a single long gown is already feeling cold.
The sky is as blue as washing, and it is so high that it is endless.
On the clear and leisurely days of autumn, Wei Renshi finally found the feeling of some idle clouds and wild cranes as he watched a trace of a white bird flying by in the sky.
"Xiaolang?"
Hearing someone shouting behind him, Wei Renshi then withdrew his gaze from the sky and turned around. However, Sun Peng's wife stood there and said, "The weather is getting colder and fewer people buy ice and eat ice drinks."
"It doesn't matter. I'll sell it when it's hot." Wei Renshi said: "But there's no need to close the door. If someone wants it, it's just going to do it."
"Okay." Sun Peng's wife nodded.
As soon as she left, a runner ran up in front of her. She came to Wei Renshi and said, "Langjun, someone came outside. She said that it was the shopkeeper Tian of the Jiao family's business owner who sent it to you and said that you asked the things that Hu Shang brought back."
"Here I'm back!" Wei Renshi was shocked, as if he had already smelled the smell of cumin.
"That's great!" Wei Renshi turned around and shouted: "Uncle Shi, drive out the carriage, let's go to the Jiao family business!"
My master’s barbecue grill has been made for a long time, just waiting for you guys!
The carriage left the side door, went up the street, and headed towards the North City.
Wei Renshi felt the "greetings" conveyed by the bluestone road through the wheels, and swears in his heart that the craftsmen are ready and he must work hard on the wheels of the carriage.
When the carriage arrived at the Jiao Family Store, Wei Renshi walked to the door. The people in the store had already remembered Wei Renshi. As soon as he appeared, someone went back and called Manager Tian.
Shopkeeper Tian appeared in front of Wei Renshi for a while, bowed and said with a smile: "Langjun Wei is so fast."
"Where is the thing?" Wei Renshi smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Tian, I think the weather is not bad these days. When will you have time for the next few days?"
"There will be nothing tomorrow and the next day." Manager Tian thought for a while and replied.
Wei Renshi nodded and said, "Then we'll settle down. We'll go to the world tomorrow, and I'll treat you to barbecue!"
"Oh?" Manager Tian smiled and said, "I have heard from my husband that Wei Langjun is unparalleled in cooking skills. I really have to try it!"
"It's exaggerated, it's exaggerated!" Wei Renshi waved his hands repeatedly: "I'm the wild way. Where is Anxie? Take me to see!"
Manager Tian apologized and said, "It's still with Hu Shang Adili, and I still have time to send it. I planned to deliver it tomorrow, but I never thought that Wei Langjun would come so quickly. I accompanied Wei Langjun and just happened to see what rare things he brought back."
The two went out, got on the carriage, and found the Hu Shang before.
They were setting up tents in the market, but there were a lot more than when Wei Renshi came last time.
This area was set up for Hu Commercial. Although it was a little wealthy and the Hu merchants who were doing a lot of business also had houses in Luoyang City, more Hu merchants just built sheds here as places to live and sell goods. Like tents, they also made it easier for them to sell a batch of things and take them to travel westward again.
If this is a smooth journey, it will be at least half a year before rushing. Some Hu merchants will be robbed halfway through.
Moreover, these Hu merchants are all buying and selling, which also slows down their itinerary. Therefore, the things in Hu merchants are buying something I have and you don’t have, which means things that the Tang Dynasty basically won’t have, so that they can sell at a high price.
When I saw it, before I could see the cumin, I saw a piece of glassware that was being placed inside the tent.
"Hiss..." Manager Tian looked at the glassware and showed a look of admiration. Seeing Wei Renshi turning to look at him, he smiled and said, "These glass objects are really beautiful!"
Oh, now all these are called Liuli.
"I think it's not as good as the jade bowl." Wei Renshi lowered his head and looked at the wine cups that the shopkeeper Tian stared at, and said.
"Mr. Wei doesn't know that these glass objects are priceless." Manager Tian smiled and said, "These are all low-quality products. They dare not just put them out like this. Just believe it or not, they can sell them all in less than three days, and they can make money this time."
"That's all?" Wei Renshi looked at the vessels: "So expensive?"
"Mr. Wei Langjun, you can't take down the two wine cups in front of you without a few hundred guan." Manager Tian smiled and said, "This object of Liuli not only looks beautiful, but also only those with status can afford it."
Wei Renshi looked at those things again, but he really couldn't tell how beautiful they were.
However, things are rare and expensive. At present, things like glass can only be bought from Hu merchants. Those Hu merchants transport glass from Dashi to Datang, and the additional costs along the way have been much higher. The passing of these costs on consumers has led to the high price of glass on the Tang Dynasty market today. The extremely high price makes it more of a symbol of identity in addition to its use - how can such expensive things be afforded by people with status and status?
But Wei Renshi knew that the main material for burning glass seemed to be quartz, silica, etc. To put it bluntly, the raw material was fine river sand.
What is this thing precious?
I know what the raw materials are and how to anneale. Although I can’t burn the kiln, there are people who can burn the kiln. Although I can’t blow it, I can’t find a man who can blow it.
When I have my own kiln, I can turn this thing into a bargain price!
