The Troublesome Hero Among the Heroes

Mason City in the southern part of the Kingdom of Biberach is the largest ceramic production base in the north of the continent. It produces from the cheapest pottery to the most expensive bone china.

Especially the bone china products produced here, which are famous for their delicate and transparent porcelain.

What's more valuable is that the bone china products here incorporate magical elements when they are made, making the porcelain here have functions that the porcelain on Earth (猹) does not have.

For example, tableware that can keep warm, clean automatically, and is hard to break, ask if you want it.

However, the qualification rate of such magic bone china products is extremely low, resulting in a very low overall output, making things rare and expensive, becoming a luxury for nobles on the continent to show their identity.

As a caravan specializing in the sale of luxury goods, Charles naturally wants to come here to buy goods.

Caravans settle down in a hotel in the Commerce District. On the upper floor of this hotel adjacent to the port area, a large river flowing from north to south can be seen through the window, as well as the merchants on the river. ship. These merchant ships transported wood, animal bones and other raw materials used as fuel, and then transported all kinds of pottery and porcelain products to all corners of the continent.

Charles, who was watching the scenery by the window, suddenly felt that the collar behind his neck was being lifted, and then found that Elizabeth had picked him up.

"Go, go to the street to see the market." Elizabeth pulled Charles and said, "Look at the latest fashion trends, so as not to buy outdated goods."

Charles said "Then keep the outdated goods for a long time, it will become an antique, anyway, the lifespan of the elves is so long."

"The elves and the elves you think like this have been bankrupted by the warehouse rent." Elizabeth said, "The preservation of antiques is conditional, not just finding a place and throwing it away."

In Mason City’s Commerce District, pottery and porcelain shops account for the overwhelming majority. The bosses of these stores either have their own kilns or have cooperative relationships with some kilns.

Elizabeth handed the boiled egg to Charles, "It seems we came a little early."

Charles who took the boiled egg replied: "They opened the door too late. "

From arriving outside the city early in the morning, then entering the city, and then going out to stroll around after being settled in the hotel, Charles spent a lot of time.

Now the breakfast stalls on the street are ready to close. Elizabeth has also bought the last few hard-boiled eggs, and many shops are not ready to open.

Elizabeth pats Charles on the shoulder, "You go find out the news."

Charles found a shop selling porcelain dolls and animal decorations, and bought a few baubles at the same time. A message came out from Lady Boss.

"I heard that the porcelain workshop area in the north is lively. Many shopkeepers have already passed by." Charles returned to report to Elizabeth.

So Elizabeth took Charles moved towards the north without saying a word. They were not far away from the city. With her keen sense of hearing, Elizabeth quickly found a famous porcelain workshop with her family.

There are rows of shelves on the open space where the workshop has just entered. There are pieces of porcelain on the shelves, and a businessman stands in front of the porcelain...

" Interesting." Elizabeth, who walked in with Charles, glanced at the porcelain on the shelves and the wholesale prices under the porcelain, and said, "It seems to be another technological innovation."

Charles pretended not to Understand Elizabeth's meaning, but carefully looked at the ceramic dolls and animal decorations on the shelf in front of him.

It was a set of seven girls with different poses. The young girls in various long skirts looked like they were outing in the warm breeze and sunshine of spring.

Seeing that the seven heroines in the "Hamlet and the Philosopher's Stone" that I had tossed out were made into action figures without any copyright fees, Charles had a bit of a mess.

In addition to these dolls, there are also various porcelain cups and tableware on display. Unlike the traditional round utensils that are made on the turntable by the drawing method, most of the polygonal bowls and cups are displayed here. In the past, polygonal porcelain was usually made by splicing several pieces of porcelain clay, and the labor cost was higher than that of porcelain produced with a turntable.

However, Charles and Elizabeth's focus is not here, because this row of shelves is full of mass-produced products of the same appearance. These porcelain dolls and tableware, cups and utensils, except for the slight difference in color that does not affect the overall situation, they can be said to be exactly the same.

The more important thing is their prices. The prices of these products are much lower than other products of the same type.

Although the goods here are all ordinary porcelain, these all are the most sold varieties in the porcelain market. The rich freedmen and the low-level noble can afford them, and the number of these people is very high. big.

Charles, who has seen many cases of "high-end commodity cabbageization", has already seen the profound mystery. This is because someone has adopted new technology to reduce the production cost of these types of porcelain, and then prepares to leave others. In the end, people have nowhere to go.

And this technique Charles also guessed a little, a great possibility is to use the grouting process.

But he didn't intend to poke the matter out, and he didn't have a hobby who would cut people and money for no reason. He is a seller of sugar and medicine, and there is no business conflict with other sellers of ceramics. He will smash other people's jobs only when he is full.

Furthermore, he bankrupted people. When the time comes, who did he ask for copyright fees?

Unlike the merchants who are estimating how to purchase goods, Charles is simply watching the excitement. Soon, he discovered a set of porcelain that made him didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

It is a tea set with a pot of six cups. The cups are octagonal. Each cup is decorated with four demon race characters.

The family that started in the war with the demon race likes to use the utensils decorated with the demon race script to show their family's abundant martial arts. Until now, this preference has become popular in a certain range.

But humans do not have deep research on the text of demon race. The ancestors of Charles family have been in this field for three hundred years relying on a dictionary handed down by Old Ancestor.

So, when Charles saw the words "clear to cloudy", "partial showers", and "bring an umbrella when going out" on the cups, he laughed out loud on the spot.

"What are you laughing at?" Elizabeth asked, standing behind him.

Charles pointed out the cups to Elizabeth, but she didn’t care about them. It says'Father's debt is paid'."
