Farm Gate Business Tycoon

Chapter 68
"Liuli?" Gu Qingmei couldn't help asking in surprise when she heard a familiar word from him. "Is there Liuli here?"

Murong Yu asked in confusion: "What do you mean there is colored glaze here?"

Gu Qingmei realized her gaffe, and hastily added: "I mean, where is colored glaze produced here?"

"There are several villages at the foot of Qingtong Mountain, which specialize in burning glazed tiles for the palace and nobles to build houses, but occasionally they also burn some crystal-like glazed panels, which can be made into glazed screens. Because they are too rare, the price is high." It is very expensive, one foot in size costs a hundred taels of silver. To make this glazed table screen, but a piece of glazed board cost hundreds of taels of silver, plus the sandalwood base, the cost is only 800 taels."

Gu Qingmei was not interested in what he said, but just pondered about colored glaze in her mind. In the 21st century, no one used glazed tiles to build houses anymore, but developed glazed tiles into decorations such as furnishings and jewelry.

So... can she find some business opportunities here?

"Hey, what are you thinking?" Murong Yu couldn't help asking when she saw that she was holding a brush in her hand, but she wasn't drawing, but was quietly lost in thought.

"I'm thinking..." Gu Qingmei regained her senses and said softly. "Is it possible to make some glazed ornaments to sell?"

"Glass ornaments..." Murong Yu pondered. "It's not impossible, but as far as I know, the firing process of colored glaze is very complicated, and even ten pieces may not be able to make one."

"So if it succeeds, it will be a sky-high price!" She also has some knowledge about the production process of colored glaze. Not to mention ancient times, it is modern with highly developed technology. The success rate of firing colored glaze is only [-]% at most.

But she has a better understanding of Liuli's market.

Not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times, under normal circumstances, a glass made with modern technology costs only a few yuan or a dozen yuan each, but the price of glass made with ancient methods can be as low as It's expensive, a pair of small wine glasses can sell for hundreds of dollars, and the profit is astonishing.

Murong Yu immediately became interested in her words, "Then what's your idea?"

"I don't have any ideas for the time being. Since we want to make something special, we need to make something special to attract the interest of the guests. After all, things are rare and expensive."

"Then you should think about it slowly." Murong Yu didn't take this matter to heart. After all, the jewelry business is different from the clothes and cloth business. The basic necessities of life, the common people always cannot live without food and clothing. This is the most important thing. basic.

On this point, he and Gu Qingmei have completely different ideas.

Gu Qingmei sat there, thinking quietly for a while, then lowered her head and sketched a simple and elegant hosta flower on the paper.

Murong Yu got up, walked to her side, and said with a smile: "Let me see, what kind of flower is this you drew? Is this... a hosta flower?"

Gu Qingmei said: "Yes, this is a hosta flower. Its color is like white jade. When it is not in bloom, it looks like a hairpin head. It looks best when embroidered on light pink, light green, or light blue handkerchiefs. Black handkerchiefs are also fine."

She put this picture of hosta flowers aside, and drew another one. It was still a hosta flower, but it was different from the previous picture of hosta flowers that were about to bloom. In this one, half of the flowers were in bloom and the other half were in bud. to be released.

After finishing this picture, she drew another one with all the petals in full bloom, and then she gave up.

Murong Yu watched her earnestly paint, feeling a little dazed.

Ever since that day, when she leaned in his arms and said that she wanted to marry him, and that she was only 15 years old, and asked him to give her time so that she could have an identity that matched his, he had taken a liking to her.

In the past few days, her figure would appear in his mind from time to time, making him upset.

He knew what was wrong with him, he knew that he fell in love with her.

Suddenly, there was a crashing sound of emerald jade bead curtains. He was startled, turned his head, and saw Ma Yunshang standing at the door with an embarrassed expression on his face, so he swallowed back what he hadn't said, stood up and said: "Your sister-in-law I came to look for you, I drank a lot of wine today, I am very sleepy, go to the guest room to sleep for a while!"

Gu Qingmei watched him go out, doubts flashed in her heart, she just felt that what this man did today was very strange.

Ma Yunshang was afraid that people would gossip, so she came over after finishing her work in the kitchen. Seeing a little maid next to her, she didn't dare to mention what happened just now, but said: "Madam asked me to come and talk with you, where is Miss?"

Gu Qingmei said with a wry smile: "Miss Tian heard that the fourth brother was drunk, so she went to see the fourth brother."

Ma Yunshang couldn't help but his expression changed, his lips moved a bit, but he didn't dare to say anything in front of the little maid, and just sighed helplessly.

It seems that Miss Tian's family is determined to rely on Gu Qingyang, otherwise, she wouldn't even be able to do such self-destructive things. In the Suye Dynasty, which is strict in etiquette and law, let alone a wealthy family, Small families and small households absolutely do not allow unmarried girls to serve men, even if the man is the future husband-in-law.

Ms. Tian's family is bold in doing things, and those etiquettes have always been discarded. As everyone knows, her reputation has long been ruined outside. This big family in Yucheng, who doesn't curl their lips contemptuously when mentioning Miss Tian's family?Otherwise, how could you be 17 years old this year and no one has come to propose marriage?
You know, under normal circumstances, when a woman reaches the age of thirteen, people will come to propose marriage one after another.

"Sister-in-law, you should quit this job and go home to live." Gu Qingmei suggested. "Now, I can make money to support you. Next year, let's buy some land and build a small village, and let you take care of it, okay?"

Ma Yunshang said seriously: "What are you talking about? As a sister-in-law, I want you, a sister-in-law, to take care of me. If you tell me, people won't laugh at me? Besides, you are fifteen years old this year, and you can stay at home at most If you stay for a year, it's time to talk about kissing, and after you get married, you will become a member of the family, how can you manage these things of your mother's family."

Gu Qingmei also said sternly: "Second sister-in-law, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart, if I don't let my family live a good life, I won't marry."

Otherwise, you won't be able to marry a good family.

She will definitely not live a life of eating and dying every day, she must make a career, and the average man in this era, just like in ancient China, is nothing more than asking women to be virtuous without talent, They will never allow a woman to be more capable than themselves. In that case, wouldn't it make them feel that they are supported by women and have soft food?

And how could a man from a wealthy family take a fancy to her background?
Like a man like Murong Yu, she would never be able to climb up to the top no matter what, even if she did, at most she would just be a concubine for others.

I heard that in such an era, being a concubine is better than being a maid, at least being a maid can keep in touch with family members, but as a concubine, the relatives in the family will have to cut off contact, and they can't be regarded as serious relatives anyway.
