Following the order from "Master Wang", the young man waiting outside the private room took two guards and went to the mule cart outside the pawn shop to move things.

Soon, there was a wooden rice huller used for husking ordinary rice, a bag of rice, and a large fan suitable for iron shops and brick kilns in the open space of Yajian.

Even a household windbox and a small wooden telescope were placed on the table.

"Do you have a stove here?" Mr. Wang picked up the household wind box on the table. "I want to install it next to the stove, so you can see the specific uses."

Shopkeeper Zhao, who was confused just a moment ago, was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly extended his hand to invite Mr. Wang to the kitchen behind the shop.

Maybe it is shared with the Silver Building next door, and the kitchen in the back is quite small.

Mr. Wang asked someone to help him drill holes on the edge of the stove, and then installed the wind box himself.

Then, he asked someone to fill the large iron pot with water. When the firewood in the stove started to catch fire, he began to pull the wind box lever with his right hand.

Shopkeeper Zhao didn't see what Mr. Wang was going to do at first.

Out of reluctance to part with Mr. Wang and respect for his eldest son?

He just wanted to see what the trick was, and it looked rarer than pearls.

The most important thing is to avoid missing out on any treasures.

But looking at the push and pull of the wooden box, the fire in the stove.

He got it!
Who doesn’t have a kitchen?
With this push and pull, the firepower in the stove becomes stronger, but you can control the heat, and you don't have to worry about not having enough heat when you host a banquet in the house to entertain distinguished guests!
Furthermore, you don’t have to worry about burning the fire in the back of the kitchen, and if someone is not watching, sparks will splash outside and cause water leakage!

good stuff!
it's baby!
"With this, it's no problem to save firewood. How many households in Daliang country burn firewood and can save a lot of money a year? Ministry of Industry, the court?"

Yes, yes, your Majesty, my lord has contributed to your Majesty, what a great contribution this is!

"My sworn brother is a strange person, and he created this.

He doesn't like fame and is afraid of trouble. I heard that Mr. Zhao of your family is in the Ministry of Works. "

Shopkeeper Zhao suddenly realized.

He said something strange. Why didn't he go to the silver shop next door to sell pearls? Instead, he came to the pawn shop. It turned out that he was testing his attitude again and again for the treasure!

"This time, he asked me to see how your Zhao family's pawnshop is doing before I act on my own initiative.

I saw it, Shopkeeper Zhao, you are very happy.Next, let's try the second thing. "

Shopkeeper Zhao was elated and said hello repeatedly.

Seeing this attitude, Mr. Wang was not surprised and had the large fan brought in for another test.

The effect is definitely not bad.

Household wind boxes, which have no earlier historical records, have not been circulated among the people, but large fans suitable for iron shops and brick kilns have always been available.

Due to limited transportation conditions in this era, many projects that required a large amount of bricks would have kilns built on site to bake bricks, so brick kilns were very common.

With shopkeeper Zhao's knowledge, he certainly wouldn't know what a brick kiln fan looks like, but he is afraid of comparing anything.

Without too much careful testing, you can tell with the naked eye that although this is also called a fan, in every aspect, it is far from being comparable to the current fans.

Return to the private room.

When the two guards carried the fan and the boy came back with the wind box, Mr. Wang had already picked up the wooden telescope and taught Shopkeeper Zhao how to use it, and then used the bag of rice to test the rice huller.

Shopkeeper Zhao was shocked.Looking at the rice-husking machine, I couldn't put it down and held the telescope, my heart almost jumped into my throat. There are so many treasures, but they are still valuable but not marketable!

Offered through his hands, wouldn't he...

Lao Chaofeng coughed.

Shopkeeper Zhao calmed down and thought about what price he should give. He left Lao Chaofeng behind and asked the rest of the staff to exit the private room.

Seeing this, Mr. Wang finally showed his trump card - he took out the eight volumes of drawings in the package that the young servant had been carrying.

He was generous enough not to worry about how much shopkeeper Zhao and Lao Chaofeng would remember after seeing the drawings, and he patiently selected one of the drawings for explanation.

For example, the dimensions marked on the drawings can be enlarged proportionally, and the small characters marked with a word "iron" mean that they can be changed to iron, etc., which were also briefly described.

When it came time to negotiate the price of the last drawing, which was the one he was asked to choose for explanation, Mr. Wang was very firm.

Instead of ten thousand taels of gold, only ten thousand taels of silver.

"Hiss—" Shopkeeper Zhao took a breath and looked at Mr. Wang with a shocked expression, then at Lao Chaofeng, "Ten thousand taels of silver, big brother, did I hear you correctly?"

Mr. Wang smiled noncommittally, "I won't hide it from you. My eldest brother is still optimistic about the two adults in the capital. You are not right here. I will leave for the capital tomorrow morning."

"Wait a moment."

Mr. Wang continued to roll the drawings, "Actually, no matter which one of these pieces, the drawings alone are worth ten thousand taels. If you don't believe it, just ask the old gentleman, the shopkeeper."

Lao Chaofeng, who was named, frowned and said nothing. While Mr. Wang lowered his head to roll up the drawings, he nodded slightly to Shopkeeper Zhao who was looking at him, then glanced at the door and shook his head.

Even if Mr. Wang didn't see any lawsuits between them, he knew that he had brought a bodyguard, and there were servants keeping an eye on the bodyguards. These two were not bold enough to take advantage of them.

Shopkeeper Zhao understood, "Sir, my Lord Wang, what are you in a hurry for?

Do you think this will work? I'll send someone to ask our third master to come over. "

Hey, if I can invite Mr. Zhao from your house before tomorrow morning, I think you will win!
Mr. Wang smiled secretly. He had expected this to happen for a long time. How could he still allow Zhao Laosan to come?

Even in order to avoid exposing the secret one day in the future, Zhao Laosan had already been transferred away by his wife's trick, otherwise he could have offered no more than 1 taels of silver!

Without understanding the situation of this era, just looking at the previous two pearl transactions, the owner of the Zhao family's pawnshop would definitely be the master of the business worth ten thousand taels of silver.

"Xiao Xiangzi, let me serve you a pot of good tea." Lao Chaofeng shouted and said with a smile, "Just because Mr. Wang is thinking about our eldest son, money is not a problem.

I'm really sorry, but I still need to report to our third master for spending ten thousand taels.

Shopkeeper, go and send a guy to report this to the third master.Mr. Wang, could I sit with you for a while? "

He said it as if the waiter hadn't been dispatched yet. Mr. Wang silently estimated the time and hesitated slightly, "Then I will wait for another cup of tea. If there is any further delay, I will have to wait until next time."

Lao Chaofeng cupped his hands in thanks, "Mr. Wang has a kind face. He looks like he is from the North, and his accent sounds like someone from the South. He is [-]% similar to one of my clan brothers."

"[-]% resemblance? Look." Mr. Wang suddenly became energetic, and without any guilt, he took out the road guide and waist badge and handed them to Lao Chaofeng.

Anyway, once the deal is concluded, the information on the waist badge must be registered when signing the contract.

"The road leads to the capital, why did I come around here.

In addition to my eldest brother asking me to come to you, to tell you the truth, I also want to find someone to come.In the early years, my aunt’s eldest son…”
