341, [A Niu news]

Fang Chang already knew what the "cargo" mentioned by the ship owner.

Before, in order to appease the terrified passengers and sailors, the owner of the ship opened the cargo hold and directed his men to lift the box out of it, and gave each person one.

Many passengers exclaimed:

"Shopkeeper, this crystal is too expensive, we can't accept it!"

The captain laughed:

"Don't worry, this is not a crystal cup. If it is really a crystal cup, how could I be willing to give it to everyone? This is just an ordinary tool. It is called glass, similar to glass, and it is more durable and very cheap."

Only then did everyone feel relieved, look at the sunshine, look at the utensils with slightly green and fine bubbles but still transparent, and then carefully preserved them.

This kind of fragile object is very troublesome to transport in batches by boats, and requires wooden boxes to be filled with straw to prevent bumps. However, for ordinary pedestrians, it is very easy to carry one or two on them - anyway, everyone has luggage, so just wrap it in the clothes.

Someone asked again:

"Is the shopkeeper trafficked from land? Where can he produce such a strange thing? And what is the situation in the Central Plains now?"

The captain shook his head and said that he was not:

"I didn't go on land, but ordered goods from familiar people. This ship of glass cups, glass cups, glass plates, and glass bottles were all delivered to the East China Sea."

"According to the delivery people, a distance from the river mouth is upwards, there is a small town that produces this product. In the mansion where the town is located, many people are making glass products, which have become large and have a large output. They are all distributed in the town and then transported out through the river."

"It is said that there was a Liu Yuanwai in the town who never knew where to come to settle down in that town. After Liu Yuanwai built a house and bought land, he opened the furnace to make this thing, and did not hide any personal teachings to those who were willing to come to learn, saying that it was to let everyone live a good life."

"So now all the glass workshops in the mansion respect Mr. Liu as his teacher."

Everyone sighed:

"In this way, then Mr. Liu is really a good person... He should also think he has learned this method."

There was a man who looked like he was doing a small business and asked:

"With the price of this glass cup, no matter how high the price, someone will buy it? As long as you find the right person, it will probably not be difficult to ship it."

“Of course it’s difficult.”

The captain shook his head and said:

"If we can sell at a high price, who would sell at a low price like this? It will definitely not be able to continue."

"The main reason is that this glassware is not expensive from the source. I heard that the raw materials are very cheap, and they are sold cheaply when they are made in the workshop. Mr. Liu has many disciples and the output is large. There are also many ships transporting glassware to our East China Sea. Many sellers compete to lower the price, and the price cannot be increased no matter how much."

"Of course, if you sell it in the end, it will still be much more expensive than on land, mainly due to travel expenses. The carriage, horse, boat, coachman, sailor, and the cost of transporting goods on the way must be counted at this price. Of course, some profits must be left for the intermediate levels, and it cannot be done in vain."

The captain also took a glass cup and put it in his hand to look at it.

Then he put the glass cup back into the wooden box filled with straw with straw, and continued:

"The surrounding governments are very prosperous. I heard that whether it is a workshop, a worker in the workshop, or even a cargo on the dock, life is better. According to rumors, the Liu family man was taught by the immortals and learned the skills of making glass devices. From then on, he has no worries about food and clothing, and is even famous all over the world."

"As for the situation in Zhongyuan, I haven't been to Zhongyuan for a while, and I can't count it! However, in terms of shipment, the vitality of Zhongyuan is still very strong, so it should be fine... hope. Anyway, it's not easy to develop another place. If it is a military disaster, it would be a pity."

There was an old man who was spinning the bowl towards the sun and said with great emotion:

"So beautiful and so cheap, this thing will definitely be popular in the world in the future."

"That Mr. Liu, no matter whether he had to teach this method or not, he could bear the 'virtuous and noble sage' and would not let down the care of the immortals who passed on art."

Everyone nodded.

…………

After finishing the memories, Fang Chang smiled and turned around and walked towards other places.

He had been going down the mountain for so long, and for the first time he heard about A Niu. During the chat between the owner and the passengers before, he could clearly sense that the "Shiwai surnamed Liu" was his former registered disciple Liu Aniu.

The other party had lived in Xianqi Cliff for a long time, and also learned the skill of making glass from himself.

What Fang Chang was very satisfied with A Niu was that after A Niu went down the mountain to settle down, he did not hide his own private affairs, but instead carried forward this craft with many people.

Glass will eventually move towards its own destined future, become materials used in daily life of the people, and bring more beauty to the world.

According to rumors, A Niu's life is quite good.

I just don’t know how Aniu’s practice has now passed and whether he has found his own path? Unfortunately, the fate between him and Aniu’s master and disciple has ended, so there is no need to disturb each other’s path and life. It is the best attitude to ignore it.

After getting off the boat from here, Fang Chang originally wanted to find another passenger ship and continue to go east.

However, after walking around the dock, he found that there are many small boats, few large boats, and most of them are small merchants' own boats. They do not try their best to attract some passengers and earn extra money like they did when they came. This resulted in not many passenger seats here, and not many ship owners who solicited customers. He asked around and there were no one who walked eastward.

Since that's the case, then leave.

Fangchang walked along the coast for half a circle and had reached a place that was rarely visited.

Here there are lush grass, dense branches, and rugged rocks around them, and only the sound of waves hitting the shore.

He found a deeper place in the water, opened his backpack and took out the small fishing boat again, and placed it on the sea.

And the long behind leaps gently and stands at the bow of the ship.

The boat was still swaying with the waves on the shore, as if there was no vibration because there was a sudden extra person in the middle. The foot was slightly pressing, not lifting the sails or oars, and the boat carried him away from the shore and gradually disappeared into the vast sea.

The sea breeze was a little violent in winter. He rode aimlessly on the sea in this small boat, and he would do whatever he wanted, but generally headed towards the east.
