Chapter 87

"Don't worry, I still can't see your beauty," Nan Cheng Mo quickly put his clothes on his body, watching Qin Mengyao's small movements, with an indifferent expression, "Didn't you inquire about the shops selling small bottles in the city last night?" , not far from the city gate, there is a Hu family white porcelain workshop. His porcelain is beautiful and strong. If you are interested, you can go and have a look. There is another one, it is said that it also sells glass bottles, but the price is relatively expensive , it’s not very practical, and it’s a little further away, near the south of the city.”

"Hu's White Porcelain Workshop? Why didn't I see such a one when I went to the city with Aunt Li last time?" Qin Mengyao murmured to himself suspiciously, and when he heard that there were glass bottles for purchase, he couldn't help but get excited.

"I didn't expect glass to be sold here, dear big tortoise, you are amazing!" Qin Mengyao smiled, and had long forgotten the unpleasantness of last night. Hearing the news from Nancheng Mo, he excitedly blew a kiss to him.As a result, Nan Cheng glanced at her like a lunatic, and got up to stay eight feet away.

But Qin Mengyao blushed again immediately, thinking of his shriveled purse, he had no choice but to borrow five taels of silver from Nancheng Mo again.Although Nan Chengmo didn't think much of money, he hesitated for a long time before opening the sandalwood box.

The porcelain of Hu's White Porcelain Workshop really lived up to its reputation. The utensils displayed in the store were all exquisite in appearance, with moist and transparent enamel, and the sound of the buckle was crisp, either dignified and generous or exquisite and lively, and the shape was better than Qin Mengyao had ever seen. The porcelain produced in batches in China does not know how many times more exquisite.

Qin Mengyao didn't have time to appreciate them carefully, so he hastily selected three fat-bellied vials as tall as a finger. They were all white glazed, decorated with peacock blue glaze or green glaze and other patterns, refreshing and really beautiful.

But the consumption of silver is really astonishing, the boss is almost like a lion opening his mouth, and the three porcelain vases cost three taels of silver, which made Qin Mengyao's eyes widen. One porcelain vase costs one tael of silver, which is really unimaginable .

It’s no wonder that the price of authentic antique porcelain in modern times is tens of thousands or even millions, and even some famous ones such as Tang Sancai and aristocratic red underglaze can’t be measured at all. From this point of view, even in ancient times, the price of this porcelain was not affordable by ordinary people. of.

Seeing Qin Mengyao's hesitation, the boss of Baicifang still looked at her with a smile, and suggested in a gentle voice, "Girl, you have a good eye. These porcelain vases are considered top-grade in our store. They are not only fancy and beautiful , and this enamel is also of the highest quality."

Qin Mengyao glanced at it with a little embarrassment, "It's good, but the price is really expensive."

"Hehe, it's okay. We still have some cheap porcelain vases in our store. You can rest assured of the quality, but the styles are a little simpler, not as beautiful as these." The boss pointed to the shelf beside him. Qin Mengyao turned his head and saw Some white porcelain bottles with simple workmanship are placed on the bottom layer. Compared with the three in his hand, the gap is huge, and he can't help shaking his head.

"Boss, can you see if it can be a little cheaper..."

Seeing Qin Mengyao's eyes fixed on the porcelain vase in front of him, the boss had already insisted in his heart that she must buy it today, and he made up his mind, still with a friendly face, "Girl, it's not that I'm old and unwilling to give up profits, but that the store's operating expenses are huge. Well, selling these porcelain vases can only make some money back, and business is very difficult these days."

Qin Mengyao didn't know much about bargaining at all, so he was inevitably a little disappointed when he heard what the boss said. He was hesitating when he heard the boss say, "Our boss is going out today, so I made an idea to give the girl a fifty-fifty discount." Write it."

As if he had found a treasure, Qin Mengyao carefully carried the package containing the porcelain vase. Qin Mengyao almost trotted all the way back to the village. When he finally sat down, he realized that there were several big blisters on his feet.

Qin Mengyao put back the rest of the silver taels, and felt for the few copper coins left in his pocket, feeling that life was difficult.

However, everything is available, only essential oils are missing.Thinking of this, Qin Mengyao was full of confidence again.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Sophora japonica flowers were still in full bloom these few days, Qin Mengyao asked Li Dazhuang to pick a lot and save them, while he kept putting the Sophora japonica flowers into the still pot, and then carefully poured the collected essential oils into porcelain bottles and kept them in the The clear dew in the bowl is all stored in a clean clay pot.

For several days in a row, the house was smoky and smoldering almost every day. Fortunately, Li Dazhuang went up the mountain to collect a lot of firewood earlier, otherwise, at this speed, no amount of firewood would be enough to burn.Aunt Li didn't think it was too much trouble, she added firewood to the side every day, watching Qin Mengyao collect water bowl after bowl.

Even the people in the village didn't know what gossip they had heard, so they all came to hang out at the gate of Nan's house with excuses, and when they saw Mrs. Li came to help destroy the firewood, they turned around and chewed their tongues, Qin Mengyao had to close the door and ignore it.
