Wei and Jin Cooks

   Chapter 192 Entering the Pit

Zhao Hanzhang didn't see how many things he brought, how much they were, and how much they were worth. Naturally, he couldn't talk about the price immediately, so Zhao Hanzhang asked him to stay first.

   As for the follow-up price issue, of course, Chang Ning went to talk to him.

   As a noble daughter of a noble family, how could she talk about such mundane affairs?

  Cough, mainly because the pretense was too much, and it was difficult to bargain, so things like bargaining can only be left to Chang Ning.

   Zhao Hanzhang said to him: "Press it as much as you can, try to change it with glass."

   They have released a lot of glass recently. Although Ji Yuan and she are slowly releasing goods, they still have a lot of them.

   Neither Ji Yuan nor Zhao Hanzhang are willing to set the price too low to release.

   But in the counties around Shangcai, it should be said that the Liuli market in the counties in Runan County has reached the first peak. Unless the price is lowered, the sales of Liuli will not be very good.

   At this time, we need a large merchant that can connect to various places.

   Zhao Hanzhang pondered for a moment, then whispered: "Mr. Chang is close to him, why not invite him to live at home?"

  Chang Ning was thoughtful, and nodded after a moment, "What the girl said is that Zhuerlang is coming from afar, and we, as the host, want to entertain him well."

  As the chief clerk and staff member that Zhao Hanzhang worked so hard to dig over, she treated Chang Ning very kindly, which was manifested in giving away houses, people, and various furniture ornaments.

  It is not difficult to find a house in the half-empty Xiping county, but it is not easy to decorate the looted house warmly and elegantly.

   Zhao Hanzhang not only let people buy a lot of furniture ornaments for Changning, but also put on a lot of glazed products.

  God knows how Chang Ning felt when he saw a full-length mirror of equal height in his bedroom for the first time?

   Not only that, but there is also a round mirror on his dressing table, which is the same size as the bronze mirror, but much clearer and brighter than the bronze mirror.

   For the convenience of his hospitality, Zhao Hanzhang also had people give him two sets of glass cups, and a pair of glass bottles were placed on the Duobao shelf.

   It can be said that the contents of that room alone are worth Chang Ning's ten years of working by the Chai County magistrate.

With    being so important, Chang Ning could not wait to repay him with his body.

  Chang Ning decided to take Zhu Chuan to live with him and let him see those glazed products inadvertently.

  In order to sell things at a good price, it is natural for customers to feel their benefits.

   Zhao Hanzhang nodded with satisfaction.

Chang Ning did what he said, and immediately took Zhu Chuan to his house as a guest. Zhu Chuan didn't want to stay overnight. Although Chang Ning's house looked spacious, he felt comfortable staying in the inn, but he accidentally saw two people on the shelf. When the glass bottle was in, Zhu Chuan changed his mind.

   So Zhu Chuan stayed overnight, and the two of them talked very happily, and planned to talk by candlelight in the evening.

   So Zhu Chuan naturally saw the full-length mirror in his room.

   It was the first time that he could see himself in the mirror so clearly and completely, and Zhu Chuan was stunned.

   Compared with the glass cup, he was more eager to know the price of this full-length mirror.

  Not only the full-length mirror, but also the dressing mirror, these two things are better than the glass cup, whether it is sent to Luoyang, Jizhou, or taken back to Shu, it will be sought after!

   Seeing that the rumors took the bait, Chang Ning raised his lips.

   But Zhu Chuan is not stupid, Chang Ning can have so many glazed products in one master's house, which means that they have a lot of glaze in their hands, or they have the source of glaze.

   Thinking of a rumor he heard occasionally when he came to Xiping, Zhu Chuan squinted his eyes. Maybe rumors are not necessarily rumors.

   Rumor has it that Zhao Sanniang has a glass workshop in Shangcai, where she can make glass.

  If that’s the case, then the price of Liuli…

  Chang Ning saw him meditating, and he knew that he had thought of the key point, and he felt even more happy in his heart.

  The girl said, a hammer sale can only be a momentary pleasure, what can be compared to a long stream of water?

Outsiders may not believe some of the things they say, they have to make people think about it. They don't mind pushing the price of the priceless glass to the ranks of the precious and consumable luxury. What they want is the one that can continuously sell the glass. channel.

   The land of Shu is on the safe side. Whether it is cloth or food, it is the best. If you can exchange these luxury items for these living materials, then they will make money.

  While Chang Ning and Zhu Chuan were testing each other, Fu Tinghan and Zhao Hanzhang were thinking about the next luxury item.

  Fu Tinghan opened the soap for her to smell, "Because it's almost winter, there are a lot of people killing pigs and sheep recently. I tried it with oil. I added some dried flowers to it. Can you smell it?"

   Zhao Hanzhang sniffed and sighed, "Professor Fu, what else is there that you won't know?"

   She hadn't called him that for a long time, and Fu Tinghan smiled and said, "It's not difficult, you can definitely do it."

   This is true, it is not difficult, but it is not easy to do, and you have to experiment a few times.

Zhao Hanzhang closed the box and accepted the gift from him, "I was just about to tell you, I wonder if you still remember the picture of the textile machine, and the farm tools that were improved in the Ming Dynasty? I remember the history textbooks of junior high and high school. All above."

  Fu Tinghan was stunned for a moment and then said, "I teach mathematics..."

  Under Zhao Hanzhang's gaze, Fu Tinghan paused and said, "I vaguely remember some, but follow the diagram... Forget it, I still recognize the general mechanical principle. Give it to me as a craftsman, and I will try to study it."

   Zhao Hanzhang immediately said: "I will send someone to find a craftsman who can make textile machines. Before that, you will use the existing carpenter."

Fu Tinghan nodded, thinking quickly, "You have to find me a current textile machine, I have to dismantle it, I know what you mean, if the Beidi and Central Plains really get into a melee as you said in the future, Then the traffic is cut off, we can only be self-sufficient, improve the efficiency of the textile machine, and we can free up more productivity.”

   Zhao Hanzhang nodded, "That's right, the current chaos is more caused by the upper-level struggle for power and profit, so there is no need to fight back and forth on production relations, we will start with productivity."

  Fu Tinghan raised his eyes and looked at her, "You want to compete for the hearts of the people?"

   "Of course, when I decided to separate Yuzhou, that's what we had to do."

   Zhao Hanzhang is very concerned about these two things, more than making glass and making paper, so she rolled up her sleeves and planned to do it with Fu Tinghan.

   She asked someone to bring a loom, and the two of them changed into light clothes and began to think about it.

  Fu Tinghan took the pen and paper, Zhao Hanzhang took the ruler, the two took apart the loom, measured the data, and drew down the picture.

   This is not difficult for Fu Tinghan at all. As a mathematics professor, he occasionally participates in some projects. The mechanical principles used in the textile machine are not complicated. For him, the difficulty should be the woodworking technology.

  There are no nails and some glue, they can only use tenon and mortise structure, then the problem of spacing must be considered...

  Fu Tinghan pondered, the two stayed in the room until the evening, and they only went out after the light dimmed, but their minds were still on the spinning machine.

   Ah, it's great to have Changning, Zhao Hanzhang can spare time to do these things, and the rest can be left to the people below.
