Chapter 164 Shop Decoration

Chapter 164 Shop Decoration

Li Yuan explained: "Cousin Sichuan, it seems that your brain is not clear yet. Although paper has been made since the Han Dynasty, the output has always been very low. A piece of paper is more expensive than a pound of rice, and ordinary people cannot afford it. , only the royal family and nobles can afford it, so many books are still recorded on bamboo slips. If there are paper books, they are valuable and can be kept as family heirlooms."

Yang Guang continued: "This is also the reason why the aristocratic family has been prosperous for hundreds of years. There are few books, and most of them are in the hands of the aristocratic family. It is difficult for children from poor families to have access to books."

Xiao Chuan said: "I didn't expect this little piece of paper to say so much."

Yang Guangdao: "So it's a waste of money for you to use paper instead of toilet chips."

Xiao Chuan was speechless for a while. He didn't know what to say. He secretly decided that he must look in the bookstore in the future to see if there is any introduction to papermaking, and to produce a large amount of paper, which can be used in the toilet.

Xiao Chuan didn't want to expose too much of his hole cards right now, so he changed the subject and said, "Ah Chen, can you get some iron? I need to make an iron pot. On the way here just now, I asked a few blacksmiths, and I need to get it myself. It is iron that makes iron."

Yang Guangdao: "Okay, I will ask my servant to send you twenty catties of iron tomorrow."

Xiao Chuan said: "Ah Chen, twenty catties is not enough, I have to build several pots."

Li Yuandao: "Iron is a war preparation material, and the imperial court is also short of iron. I know it most clearly in the army. The annual iron production of the imperial court is less than 20 catties, which is not enough to make armor weapons and farm tools, so there is no such thing on the market. "

Yang Guangdao: "Then I'll give you fifty catties, I don't have much left, and Kaichunhuangzhuang needs to keep repairing farm tools."

Xiao Chuan said helplessly: "Okay, I'll make do with it first."

But he complained in his heart: "Da Sui is short of everything, it seems that next time I have to buy some steel and come in."

Yang Guang and Li Yuan each left 10 yuan of money to Xiao Chuan as stock capital, and then they left.

Before leaving, Yang Guang took half of the roll of toilet paper away, euphemistically saying that he wanted to go back and practice calligraphy on the toilet paper.

Gou'er returned home, found a carpenter and a few servants, and started cleaning and decorating the shop.

Xiao Chuan took out the high tables and chairs for modern buffets in the space warehouse, went out to find a place where no one was around, and then hired a cart to deliver them to the shop.

During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, there were no high tables and chairs, and high tables, chairs and beds did not appear until the Song Dynasty.

Li Bai's Thoughts on a Quiet Night: "The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground. Look up at the bright moon, and look down at your hometown." Mr. Ma Weidu thinks that the bed inside is not a bed for sleeping, but a bed, that is, a foldable Mazha.

Of course, some people think that Li Bai refers to the "well fence" in the courtyard. The benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wisdom. Who made the ancient Chinese bed have five meanings?

Seeing these strange high tables and chairs, everyone thought they were furniture from Yang Guang's mansion, and they were all amazed, if Xiao Chuan had this effect.

Shengdou Xiaomin doesn't know the situation of the noble family. If there is anything to show in the future, just push it to Yang Guang.

According to Xiao Chuan's instructions, the carpenter quickly finished installing the tables and chairs.

Let the dog watch the workers decorate, and Xiao Chuan went to the prime minister's mansion with a makeup mirror.

Although Xiao Chuan is wealthy now, he doesn't want to be exposed, so he wants to sell some modern things for money, so that everyone can feel that he has earned a little bit of money, so Xiao Chuan chooses to sell mirrors.

After being here last time, the concierge already knew that Xiao Chuan was very important to the prime minister, so when he saw Xiao Chuan coming, he was very polite, and there was no such thing as a dog's eye.

As soon as they met, Dugu Jialuo smiled all over his face and said, "Chuan'er, why are you free today?"

Xiao Chuan took out two makeup mirrors and said, "Aunt, my nephew found Hu Shang selling makeup mirrors at the market. They were very clear and beautiful, so he bought a pair and dedicated them to his aunt."

"My aunt's house has a lot of bronze mirrors, why do you still buy a mirror from a Hu merchant? What a waste of money."

While Dugu Jialuo was complaining, he took the makeup mirror, and after taking such a picture, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

In the small makeup mirror, a peerless beauty appeared, with black and shiny hair, fair skin, eyebrows like distant blacks, eyes like autumn water, nose like hanging gallbladder, and mouth like a cherry.

"Chuan'er, this mirror sees people too clearly, isn't it a fairy thing?"

Xiao Chuan said: "Aunt, the barbarians in the west like to buy some exquisite mechanisms, which may not be expensive in the local area, and it is a rare commodity to be transported to China after thousands of rivers and mountains."

Dugu Jialuo said: "Yes, just like our silk, tea, and porcelain, ordinary people can afford it. If Hu merchants transport it to the Western Regions or further places, the value will be several times higher."

Xiao Chuan said: "As long as my aunt likes it."

Dugu Jialuo said comfortingly: "Chuan'er, you have a heart."

Seeing that Yang Jian was not there, Xiao Chuan asked, "Auntie, where is uncle?"

Dugu Jialuo said: "In order to commend your uncle, the emperor intends to make your uncle the follower of the king, but your uncle refused to enter the palace."

The ancients liked to ask three times and make three concessions, appearing humble and unambitious. I didn't expect the Xianbei people to do the same.

Xiao Chuan knew clearly in his heart that the wheel of history was still going according to its original course.

Nothing has changed with my little butterfly wings.

But he said: "Nephew, congratulations to my aunt for becoming the queen concubine."

Dugu Jialuo said: "What kind of princess is not a princess? In my aunt's eyes, it is good that the family is harmonious and safe."

Xiao Chuan saluted and said, "Yes, my nephew is taught."

Dugu Jialuo sent a servant girl to call Yang Yong's wife, Yuanshi, and said, "Daughter-in-law, this is the makeup mirror that Chuan'er gave me. I'll give you one."

Yuanshi hastily thanked Dugu Jialuo first, and then went to Wanfu to Xiao Chuan: "Thank you uncle."

Xiao Chuan hastily replied, "Biao sister-in-law is welcome."

Dugu Jialuo then asked: "Is that little fox still pestering Yonger every day?"

When Yuanshi heard this, his eyes turned red, he bowed his head and remained silent.

Dugu Jialuo sighed, and said: "You, you are too weak-tempered, you should learn from my mother-in-law and be stronger."

Xiao Chuan didn't like to listen to the secrets of the boudoir, so he hurriedly left, left Suiwang's mansion, and returned home.

Chuan's mother was chatting with Dugu Mu's wife. Since Xiao Chuan was knighted one after another, several ladies from the Dugu family often passed by the house.

The two women sat on the pedestal and drank tea.

"Chuan'er met Grandma and Third Aunt."

The third aunt was very polite, and Xiao Chuan praised Xiao Chuan for more than ten minutes after a rainbow fart.

Xiao Chuan took out a cosmetic mirror and said, "Mother, the prime minister rewarded a certain cosmetic mirror."

The third aunt took the makeup mirror, took a look at it, was taken aback, and said, "Chuan'er, is the prime minister really rewarding you with this makeup mirror?"

Chuan's mother didn't want to hear it anymore, so she whispered: "Chuan'er, this makeup mirror is worth a few dozen taels of silver?"

The third aunt said: "Sister-in-law, you don't know what to buy. This makeup mirror must have been transported by Hu merchants from the Western Regions. It must be sold for a few hundred taels."

Mother Chuan was surprised and said, "So expensive?"

The third aunt was full of superiority, and said: "Sister-in-law, you are not from a big family, so naturally you don't understand the value of valuables."

Xiao Chuan was unhappy, and said, "Mum, this mirror is for you."

Mother Chuan waved her hand and said, "This mirror is too expensive. Mother doesn't want it. You can keep it for your wife in the future."
