Eight hundred and eighty-ninth chapter make friends
Changsun Wuji gasped for air. After he finished breathing, he stood up straight.
"Du He, I'm not here to joke with you. I want to ask you, do you still have glass in your hand?" Changsun Wuji asked straight to the point.
Du He smiled slightly.
But he still asked in surprise: "Ah, Mr. Changsun, how did you know that I have glass?"
"People of the Ming Dynasty don't tell secret words. I just came from Tai Chi Hall!"
Du He said in surprise: "Oh, Your Highness, it was our father who sold us. This glass is very precious and hard to come by. Yesterday, I made an agreement with my father that no one can tell this matter. If anyone asks,
Just say that Taiji Palace was renovated by an expert from outside the country and has nothing to do with us. Unexpectedly, His Majesty betrayed us in a blink of an eye."
Li Ke said displeased: "Teacher, I have never seen someone so dishonest! However... our father betrayed us, and it seems that we can't do anything!"
Du He nodded: "Your Highness, you are so smart... Mr. Changsun, now that the matter has come to this, I will not hide it from you. Glass was indeed invented by my Dream Group."
"Is there more?" Changsun Wuji asked with eyes shining.
Du He nodded and took out a palm-sized piece from his arms. It was square and of exquisite workmanship.
In the sun, the piece of glass shines brightly.
Like a treasure in the world!
Changsun Wuji took it excitedly and looked at it carefully.
Yes, this is glass.
Look at the color and the transparent appearance, everything is full of high quality.
good stuff!
He quickly asked: "Is it possible that this is the only piece left?"
"No," Du He hurriedly grabbed it from Changsun Wuji's hand, "This is a sample...Glass is a rare thing, and the price is sold by the piece."
However, before Li Ke could finish speaking, Du He pulled his sleeve and he shut up immediately.
Changsun Wuji was surprised and said: "A piece as big as a palm costs a thousand guan? It's too expensive. How about making it cheaper? If the price is right, I plan to replace all the doors and windows of Sikong Mansion with glass."
Du He scratched his head, "This..."
Before he could speak, Changsun Wuji hurriedly said: "How about five hundred strings?"
Li Ke's eyes widened.
Du He smiled and said: "Actually..."
Unfortunately, before he could speak, Changsun Wuji said rudely: "Du He, it's settled, five hundred guan, such a small piece, you will send someone to Sikong Mansion tomorrow, and give it to me first in my study."
Replace the glass doors and windows in the main hall, and if a gentleman says something, you can't regret it. You just nodded and agreed."
"Lord Changsun..."
"Okay, don't say anything. I won't give you a penny!"
Changsun Wuji was furious, negotiated the price, then turned around and left.
Du He said angrily: "Look, this person behaves like this. Is he still a human being? He is simply a weirdo."
Li Ke said in a daze: "But, teacher, the price of our glass is originally one hundred guan!"
Snapped.
"Ah," Du He finally realized, "So that's how it is. I was almost tricked by Lord Changsun. I thought it was a thousand dollars."
The price of this piece is one hundred guan.
This is the price Du He asked Mo Yifei and others to set after many calculations.
The cost is only a few hundred yuan.
Du He said: "Your Highness, Mr. Changsun is our good friend. When we ask our people to install doors and windows in Sikong Mansion, they must do their best to ensure the quality. When necessary, they can tear down the walls and replace them all with
It’s best to replace everything with glass except for the pillars. Only in this way can we be worthy of Lord Changsun’s hard work!”
Li Ke nodded excitedly: "Teacher, you know, what I admire most is your kind heart. Changsun Wuji wants to take advantage of us, but teacher, you always think about him. How can there be such a teacher in the world?"
What a kind person!"
"Yes! Your Highness, the water is boiling." Du He suddenly said.
Li Ke took the old hen from Du He's hand, pressed it on the table, and pulled out the sword with a click with his right hand.
The old hen was slaughtered.
The two of them worked together and started making chicken.
Just when Du He and Li Ke were concentrating, at some point, dozens of people gathered around them.
It was the civil and military ministers who came in a hurry.
Someone said anxiously: "Consort Du, I've been waiting for you..."
Du He was busy without raising his head, "My lord, I'm sorry, it's the critical step of cooking the chicken. Do you have anything to do? Please wait a moment... Your Highness, I checked for the last time. The ingredients are all complete.
Is the chicken feathers clean and is the water temperature appropriate?”
Li Ke hurriedly stepped forward to check as instructed.
When the other ministers heard this, they all waited honestly and watched Du He busy with relish.
"Oh, look, the chicken made by Prince Consort Du is big and round!"
"So white!"
"Look at Prince Consort's technique. He holds it properly and presses it at the right angle. This chicken must feel very comfortable!"
"No wonder I was able to marry two princesses! This technique is awesome!"
Everyone was at a loss for words and praised Du He one after another.
After a long time, I was finally done.
The chicken has been chopped into evenly sized pieces, put into the pot and simmered over low heat.
Du He wiped his hands, turned around, and asked with a smile: "My lords, are you all here for the glass?"
"Exactly!"
"Consort Du is really smart. He can figure out what we are waiting for at a glance!"
"Yes, Du He, I came to you just for this matter. We have all seen the renovation of Tai Chi Palace. It is really a stroke of genius. I wonder if you can send your craftsmen to my house to renovate it for me.
Woolen cloth?"
Everyone has the same purpose, which is to transform their residence into a Tai Chi Palace.
money?
money is not a problem!
After all, these are already the richest people in the Tang Dynasty!
The salary is not high, but many people have extraordinary backgrounds. They are all members of the gentry clan. Their families have countless fields and industries, so they are not short of money at all!
Du He simply took out the glass sample he carried with him, slapped it on the table, and said: "My lords, I, Du He, opened my business to make money. However, thanks to everyone's respect, I will lose money today.
Let me make friends with you. Don’t think it’s too expensive for you. One hundred guan comes with installation included. If you think about it, I’ll have to help, demolish your house and install all the glass doors and windows.
This is not a small project, so if you buy it with a hundred dollars, you will not suffer a loss or be cheated. If you think it is suitable, sign the contract immediately. According to the order of signing, the craftsmen of the glass factory will come to serve you one by one!"
Du He has an attitude of whether he wants to buy something or not, and if he doesn’t buy it, get out of here.
