Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 409 Willow Is Fishing

The first to react was on the pier.

Dock workers are the place where the Jinghe Market needs the most labor force, and it is also the place where the flow of people is the most dense.

At this time, Liu Mu's work of pretending to hand out New Year's rewards has ended, and those who are eligible to receive them are all foreman first-level, and that small shop can't fit so many things.

Therefore, Liumu sent out small and valuable items at the store, and the rest were picked up at the dock warehouse.

Liumu and Baoqin were sitting on the top floor of a shop, looking at the pier with binoculars.

"Zhao Da, Zhao San, Zhao Si, Zhao Wu, Zhao Liu, Zhao Qi, Zhao Da, Zhao Da of Zhaojia Village, Laomu Township, Cangshugou, Jingyang..." The foreman began to curse after reading this: "You bastards , I don’t know how to name them, but there are seven in Zhao Da in your village, so what the hell are you going to do?”

Since it is Zhaojia Village, [-]% of the entire village is surnamed Zhao.

Moreover, the eldest son is called Zhao Dalang, and the second son is called Zhao Erlang.Or a nickname, but this nickname is even more troublesome, such names as Gouzi and Gouwa have nearly a hundred people in this foreman's office alone.The foreman has responded to the issue of this name many times, demanding that these people must be named, otherwise it will be difficult to manage.

"One-five-five-seven-six, one-five-five-seven-seven..." The foreman began to change the name, calling it the number when it was registered.

This time it was clear, and these dock workers happily surrounded their foreman.

"Look, Mr. Lang has set the rules, you third-class workers deserve this."

The plumber puts things on the table.

One washbasin, two water cups, four pieces of scented shampoo, two towels, two pairs of shoes, two pieces of rib meat, a small bag of white flour, one radish, one cabbage, some hair ropes, and a colorful scarf.

What makes people's eyes hot is the washbasin, water cup, and shoes.

The washbasin and water cup are of a style never seen in Datang, and they are made of enamel.

Then the shoes are made of high-quality hemp woven and then mixed with Eucommia gum for the sole, and then the linen upper, which looks exactly like the rubber-soled cloth shoes of later generations.

There were words printed on the water glass. Although the dock workers didn't recognize it, the onlookers did.It reads the New Year of the Ninth Year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, the annual rewards of the Jinghe Wharf, and then different auspicious words, such as wealth and honor, reunion and so on.

The dock workers pick it up like this. These people are illiterate, so if they pick it up like it is on the table, they will be able to recognize it and know how much they can get.

"Second class, watch out, you have these items in addition to those." The foreman shouted again, and then began to arrange on another table.

There are face powder in a small iron box, a two-inch small mirror with a wooden case, and a five-inch square iron box that contains scissors, needles, threads, etc. for female reds.

In many eyes, this iron box is much more valuable than that needle and money.

This is a white tin box that has not yet been mass-produced by willow wood. The fact is that it is a tin box made of miscellaneous steel that has been chromized to achieve preliminary rust resistance.

Someone from the second-class worker took the things out, and immediately someone stepped forward and asked, "Do you want to change hands?"

"No!" Everyone answered in unison, and they would never resell it, even if the family had not married a wife, they would never sell it.

These people are illiterate but know that this thing is definitely a good thing that makes matchmakers envious.

Especially the sewing box, giving yourself a blind date can improve a few levels.Not to mention the small mirror, ordinary poor people can afford this, it is said that only the nobles in Chang'an City can afford this thing, and it is something that money cannot buy.

In the upstairs box, holding the piano and putting down the binoculars in his hand: "Mr. Lang, someone has already started buying."

"The items issued by the foreman level are the things that are really worthy of their eyes." Liu Mu didn't look at it all the time, so he said it confidently.

Baoqin picked up the binoculars and continued to look at it, and at the same time said: "Mr. Sir, we have never sold mirrors. I calculated a few days ago, and a top-quality bronze mirror can top a small glass mirror that is slapped in the palm of a carriage. "

"Mirrors are not expensive items. Right now, the real valuables are glass daily necessities. Only first-class plumbers are eligible to distribute them, and they are truly valuable items. Fortunately, not many are distributed, and the four counties are not No more than a thousand, otherwise I really can’t afford it.”

As Liu Mu said, he smiled smugly again.

At this time, the items added by the first-class dock worker were placed on the table.

The first thing is maltose, milk powder, condensed milk, and wheat bran.Liu Mu suggested that Datang researched and produced malted milk extract.It is packaged in tin cans, and this quantity is not much, because the production of willow tin cans has not yet achieved technological breakthroughs, unless the status quo of purely manpower steel workshops is changed.

The second one is a New Year picture, mimeographed.This is one of the aftermath of experiments with large-scale printing of willow wood.

The third one, a pot of seven cups, is all stupid mass-produced low-end glass daily necessities.

But this set of cups made many wealthy businessmen stare straight. How many people in the entire Tang Dynasty own this crystal cup except for the nobles in Chang'an.

"Lang Jun, distributing this set of tea sets is a waste. Can the first-class workers on the dock afford tea? In the end, I think many of them will be sold to merchants to buy them."

"Not necessarily, even if it is drinking water, this thing is precious in their eyes. You also know that these are worthless things, all from the hands of apprentices, and the cost of this set is not as expensive as a wine bottle .”

Baoqin thinks about it too, these are made of inferior glass, and there are tiny air bubbles in the glass.

The real top grade is bright and transparent, and pure white like crystal, these are some greenish or variegated.Then I randomly painted some patterns to cover those blemishes.

The two were watching the excitement, when a guard came to report that Mr. Cui Yiye, the Cui family, had arrived.

Liu Mu invited him in.

After entering the room, he hugged the qin to salute, but Cui Yiye also returned the salute.

Cui Yiye cares more about title and rank than Liu Mu.Since Baoqin has the Lord of the Township, he is someone with the same status as him, so Cui Yiye returned the gift.

Cui Yiye's action surprised Baoqin at first, but soon Baoqin regained his composure.

Baoqin realizes that she is also a nobleman.

After seeing the ceremony, Cui Yiye put something on the table. In fact, Liu Mu saw this thing when Cui Yiye entered the room.

However, people at Cui Yiye's level don't have any annual rewards. The money they give out is based on carts, not these small things.

It was a, very poor thermos bottle.

The shell of this thermos bottle is made of bamboo. It was polished and painted, but there is no pattern on the shell. The lid is even more ugly. It is made of bamboo with a cork inside.

But Cui Yiye carefully placed the thermos on the table, and only let go after making sure that it would not fall over.
