Female-to-male: I live on farming
Chapter 146 Glass Sales Start
Qin Ke first replaced the windows of the study. Since the craftsman who was installing it was doing this kind of work for the first time, he had no idea where to start, so it took a long time.
However, looking at the study room in front of him with glass windows replaced, Qin Ke felt that all his efforts these days were not in vain.
Lu Youqing sat by the window, closed her eyes slightly, and felt the warm sunlight outside shining on her through the glass.
She could feel the warmth and light of the sun, as if the whole world had become brighter. She quietly enjoyed the tranquility and beauty of the moment, and her mood relaxed.
The sunlight shines into the room through the window, giving everything a golden glow. Now that the spring chill has just passed, it is comfortable to bathe in such sunlight.
"How do you feel?" Qin Ke just walked in from outside, and seeing her like this, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
"Very good. In this way, there is no need to light candles even on cloudy days."
"Then we will move next door in a few days, and then let the craftsmen replace the windows of the dormitory. What do you think?" Qin Ke asked.
Lu Youqing nodded and agreed.
She knew some time ago that Qin Ke's glass factory had produced some finished products, but she was not feeling well now, so she did not go to see them.
Seeing such a magical and wonderful glass, he was also a little shocked, so he propped up his chin and asked curiously: "You said that this kind of glass can also be made into a container like ceramics?"
"Ah, yes. But the craftsman's skills are not good enough at the moment. I have tried to make some bottles, but they are not beautiful enough yet."
At this point, Qin Ke sighed and began to complain about the difficulty of the craftsmanship of glass and colored glaze products.
The system cannot exchange craftsmanship, and before he can make glass products that meet his requirements, it is estimated that a lot of waste will be caused.
"But I heard that the head of the Gu family has started selling glass windows in Liangzhou, and I heard that the effect is very good." Lu Youqing listened to him patiently and then changed the subject.
"Well, it is currently only sold between officials and wealthy businessmen. Even though the price is high, the demand exceeds supply." Having said this, Qin Ke's mood improved.
Moreover, Mr. Gu has already started to consider selling the glass to other states.
Of course, her first choice is still Jinzhou and other economically developed states far away from the capital. If something like glass appears in the capital, it will definitely attract the attention of the superiors and be coveted by them.
……
Just as Qin Ke and Lu Youqing said, Gu Lanxi had indeed begun to sell in the upper circles of Liangzhou. And her methods were also very clever. She first replaced all the windows of Gu's house with glass windows, and then sent invitations to the upper circles of Liangzhou and held a banquet in Gu's house.
As the richest family in Liangzhou and even in the Great Yan Dynasty, most of the mansions would give her face when she invited them.
And the most crucial point is that they basically all know that the head of the Gu family is now a favorite of Her Royal Highness the Princess. This is no secret in Liangzhou. Even the wives of officials will attend Gu Lanxi's banquet.
Therefore, the Gu Mansion was particularly lively that day.
Therefore, people who came to Gu Mansion to attend the banquet naturally saw the magical substance - glass. Their eyes were attracted by the transparent texture and shining light, and they were full of curiosity and amazement.
"Oh my God, what is this? Am I seeing this correctly?" Someone approached the glass cautiously and reached out his hand to touch the smoothness and coldness of the glass.
"Yes, this window can actually clearly see the scene inside the house. It's so clear!"
"Not only is it transparent, but it also feels smooth and icy cool to the touch."
Through the glass, they saw a completely new and clear world, as if everything became more real and vivid.
Whether inside or outside the house, you can clearly see the scene on the other side. Some people have already sat in the house and found that even without opening the window, they can still enjoy the beautiful scenery in the courtyard to their heart's content. There is no need to open the window specifically to enjoy the scenery.
"Master Gu, what kind of window is this in your house? How can it be so transparent? Why have we never seen it before?"
"Yeah, where did this new thing come from? You can't keep it to yourself, introduce it to us too?"
A group of ladies surrounded Gu Lanxi, and they were obviously very interested in this. They looked like they would not let her go unless she explained it clearly to them.
Seeing that the goal had been achieved and the effect was obviously better than expected, Gu Lanxi curled the corners of her lips imperceptibly and said with a smile: "Ladies, don't worry!"
As he spoke, he winked at the secretary standing behind him.
The secretary who had been following behind Gu Lanxi nodded slightly as if he understood what she meant, and led his men to carry out the glass that had been prepared in the warehouse.
At this time, all the noble ladies had already taken their seats. Everyone present was a person of status and good manners. Even though they were curious and impatient, they were still very orderly.
So when someone brought out a large piece of transparent, smooth, square glass, everyone stopped talking tacitly.
The entire venue suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the piece of glass.
Apparently, that was the same material as the windows, even though there was no wood on them.
Gu Lanxi lifted the hem of her skirt and stood up. Her appearance was impeccable, with a high nose bridge, naturally rosy lips, and eyes full of stars. She walked to the glass and smiled generously. That smile was like the bright afternoon sunshine, which simply touched people's hearts.
Even though the ladies present were dressed solemnly and luxuriously, they could not conceal the brilliance of Gu Lanxi, who was dressed simply.
"Since you ladies are interested, let me introduce it to you. This is a new product made by the glass factory under the name of the eldest princess. It is transparent and can be used to make windows. It is not available for sale yet."
When everyone heard that it was something developed by the eldest princess's people, they nodded in understanding. However, when they heard that it had not yet been released for sale, they felt a little regretful. On the other hand, they felt that he was worthy of being the eldest princess's favorite, as the head of the Gu family could get things that were not yet released.
The ladies just felt regretful when they heard Gu Lanxi change the subject and smiled again, "But in a few days the glass factory will have a batch of finished products, and they will be on sale then."
"Then Master Gu, please leave some for us. I like these windows made of glass very much."
"Master Gu, please don't forget us. I am also very eager to install such windows in my home."
……
Facing the urging of the crowd, Gu Lanxi was not surprised at all. She just smiled a little embarrassedly and explained to them: "It's just that the raw materials of this glass are very complex and precious, which makes the cost of the glass very high..."
She gave everyone a heads-up in advance.
As for what she hadn't finished saying, everyone could guess it.
