Chapter 34

Li Xiao knew that Sister Qiao had always had low self-esteem. Sometimes, she seemed cheerful but was actually hiding her low self-esteem.

In these days, women who do half-door business are even more looked down upon than prostitutes in brothels. Li Xiao's attitude towards Qiao Jieer made Qiao Jieer very grateful. The status of scholars in this era is too high.

As long as you get a scholar, even if you fail the exam, you just need to show off your face and become a private school teacher. Or you can go to a shogunate where you are an official and become a pen-poster. This is a good way out.

Especially since Li Xiao is so young, if she really gets a job in the future, she will be a big boss. Such a person did not look down on her, which made Sister Qiao fall in love with the Li family from the bottom of her heart. Anyway, Ao Canghai also said that he would like her.

Let’s go, then stay at Li’s house for some time. She also likes Li Xiao’s younger brothers and sisters!

Ao Canghai is actually a very good man. Li Xiao feels that Qiaojie is lucky to be able to follow Ao Canghai.

But when Ao Canghai came to see Li Xiao two days later, Li Xiao felt that Sister Qiao's luck was not that good.

A strong man was actually holding a glass cup, as happy as a baby in confinement. This was stolen from a smuggler.

"Brother Xiao! Fifty taels, buy it for fifty taels." Ao Canghai seemed not to notice Li Xiao's dark face, and kept looking silly and happy.

Li Xiao wanted to knock Ao Canghai's head open with a glass to see if it was filled with sand. Fifty taels of silver can buy ten yellow-flowered girls, but you damned bought this...!

Just like that, I still have the nerve to have my nose bubble with joy!

Li Xiao wanted to give this tough guy a good beating, but because he couldn't beat him, Li Xiao gave up the idea.

If anyone dares to ask for fifty taels for a glass cup that is flat and out of round, and looks like a defective product at first glance, Li Xiao will definitely beat him and make him unable to take care of himself! This is not about money, but about IQ.

insult.

"Are you sure that if you sell the house, you won't lose money by buying this thing?" Li Xiao looked at Ao Canghai as if he was looking at an idiot.

"Haha! Brother Xiao, you haven't seen it before. This is a treasure. I heard it was stolen from the Goryeo Palace. This is in Liaoyang. If it was the capital, it would be worth at least one hundred taels of silver. If I hadn't been quick, say

Maybe I'll let someone else buy it. That's me, Lao Ao. That bastard doesn't dare not give me face."

Damn it! A broken glass is worth a hundred taels of silver? Are you kidding me? Are the profits from broken glasses so high? Li Xiao looked at Ao Canghai’s enthusiasm and became a little confused. He knew that glass products were sold in ancient times.

Expensive, but Li Xiao never expected it to be so expensive.

"It's inconvenient to hold silver coins. This thing is wrapped in cotton. When you get to the capital, you can sell it for one hundred and eighty taels of silver. I have seen this thing when Marshal Li prepared gifts for the gentlemen in the capital. It was more expensive than this at that time.

It's expensive, more than a hundred taels of silver." Ao Canghai was so happy that he held it in his hand like a treasure. Sister Qiao wanted to take it and have a look, but Ao Canghai didn't give it.

"My Lord Ao, this thing is made of sand. If you really want this thing, I will burn one for you with sand tomorrow. It's not a very expensive thing, so you'd better sell it quickly. Boy, how can I burn it with sand?

Remind you, this thing is fragile, please take it away quickly. I have many children, if it breaks, our small business cannot afford to pay for it."

Hearing what Li Xiao said, Ao Canghai looked at the small eyes at the door warily. He held the glass cup tighter in his hand!

"Is this thing really made of sand?" Suddenly Ao Canghai thought of the important point and looked at Li Xiao with eyes full of stars and asked.

"It's really made of sand, it's a lie! Look at this little bump here, it's the vent that pours into the mold." Li Xiao pointed to a small bump on the glass.

"Uh...!" Ao Canghai looked carefully, not to mention that there was really such a vent.

"You know how to burn?" Ao Canghai coaxed Li Xiao's younger siblings and Sister Qiao out. He asked as if he was interrogating a prisoner!

"Yes! It's not difficult, but you have to find a copper pipe, and you have to blow it with your mouth."

"You're bragging! Is there anyone in your little shabby place like Ivory Village who can do this? If you try to fool me, Lao Ao, I'll beat you up!" Ao Canghai's eyes widened to scare people, his face was very ferocious.

"Have you seen the candy blowers on the street? There are about the same number as that one. Don't ask me how I know this. I'll just get one for you tomorrow. Please take this thing and don't break it. I can't afford to pay for it!

Oh, by the way! Don’t use this thing to fill water in a showy way, it’s fine for cold water. If you put it for hot water, be careful as it may burst!”

I'm too lazy to talk to Ao Canghai, so I'll tell you with good intentions. And even threaten me!

Seeing the disdain on Li Xiao's face, it didn't look like it was fake. Ao Canghai also became suspicious. Could it be that this glass is really worthless?

"Are you telling the truth? Will this thing be scalded by hot water?" Hearing that his treasure would be damaged, Ao Canghai became anxious. Although this thing is worth a hundred and eighty taels of silver, it is really broken.

It's not worth a lot of money. Not to mention if it's broken, even if it's missing a small hole, the value will drop significantly.

"Why don't you get some boiling water to try?" Li Xiao couldn't explain the principle of heat storage and cold storage to this guy. People who have lived in the Northeast in later generations know that hot water is stored in a glass cup that has been left in a cold place for a long time.

, nine times out of ten, it will be burned to pieces.

"You're a bad boy! OK, then I'll take it to the market and sell it."

"Master Ao! Are you okay? Go sell it in the market. How many people in Liaoyang can afford one hundred and eighty taels of silver to buy this thing? Is there an auction place in our Liaoyang mansion?"

"auction?"

"It's like one person takes out something, and a group of people bid the price, and the one with the highest price gets it." Li Xiao blinked, he really didn't know much about the Ming Dynasty.

"Oh, you said it's a price competition! Yes! But ordinary people can't enter that place, all of them have to be high-ranking officials. In the whole Liaodong, there is only one in Liaoyang."

"This kind of thing is called luxury goods. It needs to be sold there. Ordinary people, who can afford this?" Li Xiao looked at Ao Canghai as if he was looking at an idiot.

"You should have eaten the rush ash in the morning!"

"What do you mean!" Li Xiao said in confusion.

"They are all light farts. How can I, Lao Ao, get there? Make a loud noise and tell people that this thing was tricked by Lao Ao?"

Uh...! This was something Li Xiao didn't expect. Ao Canghai's identity seemed to prevent him from entering such a place. At least when people asked Lao Ao where this thing came from, Lao Ao couldn't tell clearly. Especially in Xing.

It is even more unsuitable for Master to do this when he is bent on causing trouble for Lao Ao.
