...

The crystal wine utensils bought by Li Anran are quite beautiful even in modern time and space. In the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are treasures. Just when you see clearly what is the gift box, Wu Chengen's small eyes that were originally squinting suddenly became wide open and he was stunned.

After traveling back to modern time and space, Li Anran also checked information about glass and knew that this thing had actually appeared very early in China's history.

Glass was generally called glazed or Poli in ancient times. Judging from the unearthed glassware, the glass technology from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Warring States Period has matured. Dragonfly eye glass beads and imitation jade glassware appeared in the late Spring and Autumn Period and the early Warring States Period. This Chinese glass bead with foreign style reflects the exchange of glass manufacturing technology between China and foreign countries.

By the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, with the large amount of Rome and Persian glassware, coupled with technical reasons, the amount of homemade glass in my country decreased. After the Sui Dynasty unified the country, the internal supervisor He Chou succeeded in firing glass by burning green porcelain.

Glassware was unearthed in the Tang Dynasty, and glass fruits, glass bottles and other objects were unearthed in Lintong, Shaanxi. The shapes of the instruments were all traditional Chinese styles and were made by blowing. In the Five Dynasties, Song, Liao, Jin, and Western Xia, the glassware unearthed mainly included glass gourd bottles, petal cups, pot-shaped tripods and glass ornaments.

According to literature records, the Song people took great care of glassware from Arab countries, and the long-necked glass bottles unearthed in Ruian, Zhejiang were imported from Arabia. Fortunately, no matter how the technology of making glass developed in the later period, at least during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, the purity and transparency of glassware like Li Anran was shown in the set of glassware, but there were definitely not many.

In particular, this set of glass wine utensils also uses a manufacturing process similar to diamond sections, and the shape is quite gorgeous and dazzling, otherwise it would not be so expensive. Facing this set of wine utensils, Wu Chengen was not even able to care about anything else. He immediately rushed to Li Anran's desk without caring about his image. His squinting eyes were like 502 strong glue, and they were completely "sticked" on it.

At this moment, the servant who was guarding the door of the private room suddenly knocked on the door.

"What's the matter?" Wu Chengen, who was about to pick up the treasure and taste it, said in a dissatisfaction.

"Shopkeeper, Doctor Sun is here, and the county magistrate is here," the servant who heard that his shopkeeper was dissatisfied, quickly explained.

"What? Please invite me quickly!!"

Wu Chengen was not taken seriously by Doctor Sun's arrival, but after hearing that the county magistrate also came, this person no longer cared about the treasure in front of him.

Soon, the door of the private room was pushed open, and then a middle-aged man dressed in casual clothes and looked a bit literary and elegant, walked in first.

While the man came in, he did not forget to laugh and joked with a very cheerful tone: "It seems that some people don't really welcome me, my parents, to appear."

"Where can you do it? It is definitely a blessing for the small shop. Please, please, come and serve the food!" Wu Chengen, who had arrived at the door early, greeted with a smile.

"Doctor Sun, please ask too! The real person asked as soon as he came. Why didn't you arrive? Please explain it to me later to avoid the real person's thunderous anger falling on someone's head."

With Wu Chengen's warm but not deliberate or hypocritical greeting, Gu Bangcai and Sun Changgeng soon sat down in front of their respective cases.

During the Tang Dynasty, the people at the bottom of society were quite casual in eating. However, in formal occasions, they all adopted the separate meal system, each with a table, and they were kneeling. Fortunately, Li Anran had a detached identity. If someone else used this cross-sitting method, it was very disrespectful to the master in terms of etiquette.

It is said that Gu Bangcai was still in charge of the status of a county magistrate, and the position of the top leader was originally the one who was the one who was the top leader. But no one expected that he would come too. The case of the top leader was occupied by Li Anran at this moment. But Li Anran was a little surprised that this county magistrate was very easy to talk to. Not only did Wu Chengen's obvious casual words before did not arouse the slightest dissatisfaction of this person, but he didn't even argue with him at the seat.

Seeing that he didn't have to choose between putting on the shelf and lowering his figure, Li Anran would naturally not be so stupid as to mention this matter again, and Wu Chengen on the side would not be so stupid as to not pick up any pot.

After everyone sat down, they naturally introduced and greeted each other again.

After Wu Chengen was greeted by the middle, Li Anran soon had a preliminary contact and understanding with Gu Bang, the county's parents, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Based on the principle of saying more and making more mistakes, saying less and not saying good things, Li Anran, wearing a Taoist robe, kept silent as much as possible, and quietly watched the conversation between Gu Bangcai and Wu Chengen.

When he discovered that Gu Bangcai, who is the emperor of a county, could talk and laugh with the shopkeeper of Hongfulou with an equal identity and a familiar attitude, Li Anran was basically sure that the guy named Wu must be not just the shopkeeper. Otherwise, even if Hongfulou has a deep enough background behind him, a dignified courtier would not have to sell a shopkeeper for his face. It is even more impossible that he would have no scruples in his words like a friend.

Moreover, Sun Changgeng, who was sitting by the side, seemed to be accustomed to it. Obviously, he had seen this kind of thing once or twice.

After a while of greetings, the topic was unconsciously pulled to the gift box that had only had time to cover the lid but not taken away.

Li Anran was speechless. When talking about his glass wine utensils, Wu Chengen wanted to make a fool of himself. But as the princess of a county, especially Lantian County, which is very close to long hair, Gu Bangcai is not a fool.

Seeing that Wu Chengen was being squeezed and could not stand it anymore, Li Anran took the initiative to take the topic, first repeating the words he had fooled Fatty Wu before, and then opened the gift box on his desk. Just then, a ray of sunlight poured down from the window next to Li Anran, and just shone in the wine utensils of the gift box. The wine utensils, which were originally gorgeous in shape and "expensive" texture, suddenly became dazzling.

Even though I had seen it once before, when I saw this scene, Wu Chengsi's squinting eyes were still stuck on the wine utensil like a 502-glue stick.

Gu Bangcai, who was on the side, had a certain background and had seen many rare things, but when he saw the set of crystal wine utensils in front of him, his eyes still couldn't help but shrink.

In contrast, Sun Changgeng, who was a doctor, reacted calmly enough. Although he was also surprised, this surprise soon disappeared.

"Shopkeeper Wu, this is a set of crystal glass wine utensils I have brought out from now on. I dare not say that in the future. At least so far, there is only one set in this world."

"I don't have many requirements, but it's enough to ask for a large enough farm, some merchants, and a few shops in the county town, and then give a price casually."

After gently closing the lid of the gift box, Li Anran ignored the strangeness that had just flashed across Gu Bang's face, and gently shook the whisk in his hand, with a calm expression.

"Not many! The real person's request is indeed not much!! That's it! I'm willing to exchange this treasure for a farm covering an area of ​​6,000 acres, three shops and 30,000 guan."

After hearing what he asked just now, Wu Chengen didn't even mean to bargain. He just slapped his thigh and settled the matter, and the price was slightly higher.

After just seeing this set of crystal glass wine utensils up close, Wu Chengen had made up his mind to take it down no matter how expensive it was.

What's more, Lantian County is not a capital city, and the value of the shops in the surrounding villages or the county town is much lower. Together with 30,000 yuan in total, the business is also stable and profitable, and it is definitely a big profit.

If it were someone else, facing this set of crystal glass wine utensils, even if you see the extraordinaryness of this thing, you should consider it carefully when you offer it.

Because priceless treasures sometimes mean there is price but no market. Take this set of crystal glass wine utensils as an example, is it worth 100,000 yuan? Wu Chengen thought it was worth it.

But if it was someone else, even if it was a wealthy family with a very rich family, I also thought that this set of crystal glass wine utensils was indeed worth 100,000 yuan, but only a few people could pay so easily. In addition, this was paid and the farm, and three shops were also built, not just for this set of crystal glass wine utensils. With Wu Chengen's private identity, the person sitting in the upper position at this time is the key.

As for such a price, even if Li Anran considered that this set of wine was definitely a treasure during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, and he couldn't help but feel surprised and ecstatic for a fat man's big deal.

Not to mention the 6,000-acre farm and three shops located in the county town, but for Li Anran, the 30,000-yuan cash is not just copper coins. 30,000-yuan copper coins are 30,000 taels of silver. If the 30,000 taels of silver is 3,000 taels of silver is 3,000 taels of silver. If the gold is brought to modern time and space and sold, even if the quality of gold is different from that of ancient weight units, it means it will be a huge sum of money.

Thinking of this, Li Anran calmed down his ecstasy with the action of drinking tea, then quietly shook the whisk in his hand and said with a smile: "Great kind!"

At this time, Gu Bangcai, who had not disturbed the transaction just now, smiled and said, "How can you not see such a treasure? Thank you, I believe you will not be stingy, right?"

Faced with such a proposal, Wu Chengen, who was originally thinking of further inspection, naturally would not refuse. However, he was not willing to let the people below move, but instead took it upon himself.
