"Oh, right, Xiao Xuan! I heard that Curious Pavilion is going to sell a batch of glassware tomorrow? "
Li Residence West Courtyard.
Li Tai, the little fatty, didn't know what politeness was. He sat on the other side of the stone table with his legs crossed leisurely. He was eating iced grapes and watching Li Zexuan write his novel.
After a while, he suddenly remembered the news in today's newspaper. Erm, it should be an "advertisement," so he asked.
"Yes! That's right! Didn't you already know about the matter of the workshop manufacturing colored glaze ~? What's so strange about it? "
Li Zexuan said without looking up.
Last month, he gave Li Tai, Meng Wenhao, Li Yu, and Iron Egg a lesson in the workshop. Not only did he talk about the principle of geomagnetism, but he also touched on the knowledge of glassware manufacturing.
"Hehe! I don't find this strange. When you used the glassware on the compass, I knew that you would use it to make money one day! What I find strange is, what is the bigger surprise you mentioned in the newspaper? "
Li Tai rubbed his hands and laughed. He looked a little wretched.
Li Zexuan looked up at Little Fatty, curled his lips and said, "This thing might be a surprise to others, but to you, Qingque, it's …"
"What is it?"
Li Tai rolled his eyes. He suddenly had a very bad feeling.
"It's a surprise to others, but to you, it's a shock, haha!"
Li Zexuan laughed.
What he said was not without reason. The glass mirrors in Strange Interest Pavilion were mainly for the beauties and rich ladies. Li Tai was a fatty with a face full of fat. Even if he bought a mirror back, he would not be willing to look at himself.
"F * ck, get lost! Why the f * ck is it a shock to me ~? I want to see what it is! "
Li Tai said angrily.
"Hehe! You'll see it tomorrow! Qingque, you'll see if I'm right! Haha! "
"Hmph! I'll be waiting! "
Little Fatty slapped the table and left in a huff.
"Ah! Greetings, Your Highness! "
When Li Tai walked to the gate of the West Courtyard, Han Yuxi happened to come back from Madam Li of the East Courtyard with two little servant girls. Seeing that it was Li Tai, Han Yuxi subconsciously curtsied.
Li Tai was so scared that his legs trembled. He hurriedly helped her up and said, "Sister-in-law, uh, Shimu, please don't be so courteous ~! You've killed Tai, you've killed Tai! "
A few months ago, Li Zexuan had single-handedly challenged the mountain stronghold for Han Yuxi. Li Tai had heard about it. Usually, he could play and joke with Li Zexuan, but that was just "romance between men". Now, facing Han Yuxi, he didn't dare to be too cheeky. Otherwise, it was hard to guarantee that Li Zexuan wouldn't kill him with a sword.
"This ~ ~!"
Han Yuxi hesitated for a moment. Only then did she remember that the prince in front of her was her husband's student! With such a complicated relationship, she didn't know how to address him anymore.
"Haha! Shimu, just call me Qingque. Sir is writing a book in the pavilion. He has something to do at the Tai residence, so he'll take his leave first. Shimu, please help yourself. I won't send you off ~! "
Li Tai waved his hand and fled. He didn't dare to hear Han Yuxi call him His Highness anymore. If Li Zexuan heard it, he might make things difficult for him in the future.
"Are you still busy, husband? I just saw Prince Wei, uh, why are you so flustered ~? "
Han Yuxi came to Li Zexuan's side and couldn't help but ask.
"Haha! Why? You met that guy just now ~? "
"Yes, I happened to meet him at the door."
"Did that guy use his identity to show off in front of you ~?"
"Haha! No, he didn't. Instead, I felt that he was a little afraid of me ~! Husband, what were you talking about just now ~? "
"Haha! Nothing, nothing ~! Wife, sit here for a while. Let's go eat together after I finish writing this chapter ~! "
…
The next day.
When the East Market opened in the morning, a small group of people headed straight to Curious Pavilion with a clear goal in mind.
Previously, the new carriage "Don't Touch Me" had brought many purple and even red members to Curious Pavilion. These people enjoyed huge discounts and priority in queuing. Whenever Curious Pavilion released a new product, they would be the first to arrive. To them, it was a profit if they could buy it.
One had to admit that although Curious Pavilion's products were expensive, Curious Pavilion had already proven that everything here was worth the price with their high quality products. Therefore, those who could enjoy the discounts always liked to shop at Strange Interest Pavilion.
Curious Pavilion had already prepared for today. When the first batch of customers arrived at Curious Pavilion, they saw dozens of shelves in the open space. There were even red cloths on the shelves. Clearly, the shelves were filled with glass cups and glasses that were going to be sold today.
Other than that, there were two huge signboards that were as tall as a person at the entrance of Curious Pavilion. They were still covered with red cloths, so no one could see what was inside. There was a lot of discussion below.
"Oh! Brother Cao, you're also here!? "
"Haha, I had nothing to do, so I came here to take a look!"
Cao Wendong chuckled as he fanned himself.
"Heheh! Brother Cao probably isn't just here to take a look, right? In a little while, I hope that Brother Cao can leave some soup for us to drink! "
Those who had come to line up so early were not idiots. Many of them were merchants with a keen sense of smell.
In this era, the glass of the Central Plains was completely supplied by Hu merchants. It could be said that the Hu merchants had a monopoly in this area, and the merchants of the Central Plains had no right to a share of the profits. They could only follow behind and eat the leftover rice and soup, earning a fee for running errands.
The fact that the Odd Interest Pavilion was able to provide such a large amount of glassware made the peddlers move immediately. Most of them had membership cards for the Odd Interest Pavilion. In their opinion, being a peddler for the Odd Interest Pavilion would definitely earn them more than buying from the Hu merchants.
These people had never considered the problem of not being able to sell their goods. Although Hu merchants came to the Great Tang to sell glass, they usually sold in very small quantities. Glass was a rare commodity in the Great Tang, so there was naturally no need to worry about not being able to sell it.
"Haha! What are you saying, Brother Meng Yang? This Cao comes from a small family, so I don't have such a big appetite! Let's make money together, let's make money together! Hahaha! "
"Brother Cao is indeed a straightforward person, haha! Brother Cao, what do you think those two things at the entrance are? "
"This … this must be the surprise that the newspapers were talking about, right? As for what it is, this Cao doesn't know! "
"Heh! Brother Cao, you're really modest. There are only a few merchants in Changan who can talk to Li Xiannan. A few days ago, Li Xiannan just got married. This one remembers that you went to Li Xiannan's residence for a visit! "
