CHAPTER 9 GLASS MANUFACTURING
bedroom.

Chen Mu slowly opened his eyes.

Still holding the teacup in his hand, he looked out of the window with a thoughtful expression.

"Xinghualou..."

This is the most famous restaurant in the entire Dayuan capital, and it doesn't even accept ordinary guests. Only the children of real rich families and even dignitaries can enter.

In Yuanshen's memory, he had been to Xinghualou once, and it was a banquet, so Chen Mu had a little understanding of the consumption in Xinghualou.

The best wine in Xinghualou costs at least twenty gold!
The ratio of Dayuan gold to silver is one to ten, which means that a pot of Xinghualou's best wine needs at least 200 taels of silver to start, and this is calculated based on the minimum amount.

As the concubine of the Xuanguo Mansion, Chen Mu's monthly bill is three taels of silver, and there are many expenses on weekdays, and this monthly bill was secretly deducted. The previous twenty or so taels were all, and they were all given to Liu Lian's family , can be said to be cash-strapped now.

Ren Yan must have withheld a lot of money.

It's just that even if you get that part back, it's basically impossible to collect the full 200 taels of silver.

Use wine from an ordinary restaurant, or wine with a lower quality from Xinghualou... Well, there is a high probability that nothing will happen, and even if something happens, it is probably not a good thing.

After all, it is okay to fool people, but not to fool ghosts.

Ning's figure flashed in Chen Mu's mind.

Go to sister-in-law to borrow some?
But Chen Mu quickly shook his head.

She has already been taken care of everywhere, how can she always have something to do with her sister-in-law.

According to his previous promise, he should do his best to satisfy Ning's needs in turn, but he has never been a person who promises verbally.

"Forget it, I'd better do it myself, anyway, it's a trivial matter."

Chen Mu exhaled.

Searched through my past memories, walked to the desk, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote while thinking. After a while, I picked up a piece of paper with many things written on it.

After inspecting for a while, Chen Mu got up and pushed open the courtyard door.

"Come on."

He called out to the courtyard.

Soon.

The door of a hut in the outer courtyard was pushed open, and Ren Yan hurried over, saluting politely.

"Second Master!"

Chen Mu glanced at him, and said flatly: "My monthly report for this month has already been issued, should it all be with you?"

Ren Yan was stunned for a moment, and just about to say something, but his body froze inexplicably, and quickly said: "Yes, it's freezing cold, so I'm afraid that the second master will catch a cold, so I will help the second master get it."

Chen Mu didn't speak, just stared at him for a while.

Seeing that Ren Yan's heart was trembling, he had never felt such pressure on Chen Mu before, and this pressure was almost catching up with those masters of Xuan Guo Mansion!
When Ren Yan's forehead was about to overflow with cold sweat.

Chen Mu withdrew his gaze, raised his hand, and pinched the paper with his fingertips.

"You can buy the above things according to the quantity I wrote, and you must not miss any of them."

"……Yes Yes!"

Ren Yan could hardly bear it any longer, so he hurriedly responded and took the paper handed over by Chen Mu with both hands.

It wasn't until he watched Chen Mu return to the bedroom and close the door that he breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

Then he looked down at the white paper in his hand.

After all, it was the Xuanguo Mansion, and even servants like Ren Yan were literate. Although they were not very literate, they could barely make out part of the content on the page.

"Sand...soda ash...quartz..."

Ren Yan frowned and read it again, feeling confused for a while.

Although the specifics are not clear, he knows the price of some of them. Anyway, if you add them up for three taels of silver, you will definitely not be able to buy them.

He wanted to tell Chen Mu that the money was not enough, but when he thought of Chen Mu's eyes and the silent pressure just now, Ren Yan couldn't help swallowing.

Forget it.

The second master has been a little abnormal since he hit a ghost, so he should just post some honestly.

Ren Yan turned around and went out in the snow.

After all, he is a servant of Xuan Guogong's mansion, and he is quite capable of handling affairs. In just two hours, he bought all the materials written by Chen Mu and sent them all to the yard.

Chen Mu asked Ren Yan to take all the things to the hut in the outer courtyard, and then walked into the room by himself.

Ren Yan didn't know what Chen Mu was doing, and he didn't dare to peep. He just felt sorry for the money he had posted during the day, and prayed in his heart that Chen Mu would stop being a prodigal.

……

The next day.

in the bedroom.

The door was pushed open at once.

"Second Master, it's time for breakfast."

Xiaomei appeared at the door unhindered by wind and snow, and walked in with a wooden tray.

When she entered the room, she saw Chen Mu sitting at the table, writing something with a pen and paper. She only glanced at it from a distance, and then turned her gaze back with disinterest.

And right now.

Chen Mu made the last stroke, picked up the paper, read it carefully again, and said:
"Ren Yan."

"Hey, Second Master, what's your order?"

Ren Yan was sweeping snow in the courtyard outside the house. Hearing Chen Mu's summons, he immediately put down the broom in his hand and walked over. He stomped the snow on his feet at the door, and responded outside the door without stepping into the threshold.

Chen Mu stood up, without looking at Xiaomei next to him, handed the paper in his hand to Ren Yan, and said flatly: "You send this paper to Wanzhen Building, and when the shopkeeper of Wanzhen Building comes out, tell him This is, I want half of the profit of this thing, and let him take another two hundred gold, which is useful to me."

Ren Yan first reached out to take the paper, and then finished listening to Chen Mu's words.

The whole person froze for a moment.

Wanzhen Building?
That is one of the largest merchant pavilions in Kyoto!

He didn't understand the follow-up profit, he only understood the treasurer of Wanzhen Building, and the last "take two hundred gold", and looked at the blank paper in his hand in amazement for a while.

Just relying on this piece of paper, let him go to see the shopkeeper of Wanzhen Building, and get two hundred gold? !

Finished!

Second master is not only a little strange these days, but even his mind seems to be a little abnormal!
Ren Yan felt bitter for a while, and wanted to say something, but seeing Chen Mu's flat eyes, he didn't dare to speak after all, he answered honestly, and then turned his head and went out.

next to.

Xiaomei also gave Chen Mu a strange look.

Although in her opinion only force is the most important thing, but she also knows how much money two hundred gold is, if she has it, she can even hire an assassin from the Storm House to take revenge!

But such a large amount of money was said lightly by Chen Mu, and he didn't even seem to care much about it. Could it be that he was really bewitched by a ghost, and even had mental problems?
A thought here.

Xiaomei's heart beat a few times, and she hurriedly left the bedroom.

It's not because he's afraid of Chen Mu, but because he intends to go back to his room to practice soon. As long as he has strong blood to protect him, no ghosts or ghosts will be able to get close to him.

Chen Mu didn't care about the reactions of Xiaomei and Ren Yan. After seeing Ren Yan leave, he turned around and walked to the table to have breakfast.

If it was an ordinary servant, he would also like to remind him not to make it public.

But Ren Yan didn't use it.

This servant is very clever and doesn't need to do more.

As for whether that page could get two hundred gold, there was no need to think about it, because what was written on that paper was sorted out by him after a night of trying.

How to make glass!

Although this is a world where demons and ghosts are rampant, glazed jade is still a precious thing, and things like glass making methods are worth far more than a mere two hundred gold!

Chen Mu was also not worried that Wan Zhenlou would dare to take the recipe and swallow it privately.

Because his identity is the son of Xuan Guofu!

If he went in person, he could negotiate a higher profit, but he didn't care about it, and even the so-called half was just a casual remark.
