Chapter 391: Duke Ningguo was amazed as Xiao Ying entered the seventh level of Qi Refining!
"What happened up ahead? Why are there so many people gathered here?"
Sure enough, as soon as he approached, he was noticed by Duke Ningguo, who asked curiously.
Ning Yuanze laughed, but kept the question in suspense.
"It's a new shop that's opened. If Grandpa is interested, why don't we go take a look."
"What kind of new shop can attract so many people?" Duke Ningguo became more and more curious: "Let's go and take a look."
Ning Leshu looked at Ning Yuanze thoughtfully for a few more seconds. Could this new shop be...
"Why are you crowding? I'm saying, why are you all hustling? Do you understand the principle of first come, first served... Oh, it turns out that the county magistrate has arrived!"
"Please come in, sir. I just spoke too hastily. Please don't blame me!"
Several yamen runners cleared the way in front, causing dissatisfaction among some people in the queue.
When he turned around, he found that it was the county magistrate. He was so scared that he apologized.
Ning Yuanze naturally wouldn't bother with them, but instead showed a hint of apology.
"I have disturbed the order, but today I had no choice. I hope you can forgive me."
How could the people dare to ask him to apologize? After hearing this, they felt relieved and respected him even more.
"Why should we queue up, Your Excellency the County Magistrate? Please come in."
Ning Yuanze nodded, then turned around and invited Duke Ning, Ning Leshu and his wife in.
Duke Ningguo smiled and said, "It seems Xiaoshu was right. The people really do love you, the county magistrate."
"Grandpa, please stop making fun of me."
Ning Yuanze's ears turned red and he became more humble and polite.
"Windward Glass Shop."
When they got closer, Duke Ningguo and the other man saw the name of the shop and read it out loud.
"Yingfeng?" Duke Ningguo seemed to be lost in thought. "Could this be Yingying's shop?"
Ning Leshu smiled happily: "Dad, this must be Yingying's shop. Yingying's shop is always prefixed with the word 'Yingfeng'."
Then he glared at Ning Yuanze again.
"You're still keeping me and your grandfather in suspense."
I didn’t expect Yingying to open a new shop. But, what is this glass?
Ning Yuanze smiled: "Isn't this a surprise for you?"
Duke Ningguo laughed and nodded: "It is indeed a surprise."
Then he asked curiously, "But what is glass? Is it written wrong? Should it be glaze?"
"It's not colored glass. It's something even more translucent and shinier than colored glass. Grandpa, you'll know when you go in and take a look."
Ning Yuanze smiled and led a few people in.
Thinking back, he was also surprised when he saw glass for the first time. He never thought that there could be such bright and beautiful things in the world!
That was a set of glassware given to him by his cousin.
Bowls, plates, cups, vases, and even jewelry are all available.
He and his wife were fascinated by it and couldn't let it go.
He understood the value of this thing at a glance and knew it would definitely be favored by dignitaries.
Sure enough, the shop became a hot business as soon as it opened today.
I heard that my cousin also opened one in Xizhou Prefecture. It might be even more popular than this one because there are more wealthy people there.
"Your Excellency the County Magistrate, there are three other distinguished guests who would like to come in."
"The arrival of these distinguished guests has truly brought glory to our humble shop!"
The shopkeeper came forward to greet him with a tactful look.
He had just heard the conversation between several people and was filled with inexplicable horror and shock.
This old man turned out to be the county magistrate's grandfather. Could he be the legendary Duke of Ningguo?!
She had seen this lady before. She was the mother of his wife, the wife of Marquis Zhenyuan and the daughter of Duke Ningguo!
As for the young lady behind him, he also knew that she was the wife of the county magistrate.
These people are definitely distinguished guests, and they are heavyweight guests!
He immediately smiled like a flower, and wished he could kick everyone else out and only receive these few people.
Duke Ningguo looked at him and knew that he had recognized the identities of them.
He simply smiled and said, "Are you the shop owner? Then please introduce us to the treasures in this shop."
"It's my great honor."
The shopkeeper was surprised and delighted. Duke Ningguo seemed very kind.
"Master... please come this way."
"We at Windward Glass Shop sell only glass products. Glass is a new product created by my wife."
"Crystal clear and absolutely beautiful. You'll know once you see it."
"The glass here is ordinary glass, specially used for inlaying windows."
"Look at its transparency. If it were mounted on a window, you could see the scenery outside without even opening it."
"They can also be used as tiles and embedded in the roof, allowing light to shine in, so you don't have to worry about the house being dark."
As he introduced himself, he observed the expression of Duke Ningguo.
Seeing the other party nodding in approval from time to time, he couldn't help but feel relieved and more excited.
"It is indeed crystal clear and exquisite, even better than colored glaze."
Duke Ningguo was quite shocked that Yingying could actually create such a good thing.
If it is promoted, it will soon replace glass and become the favorite of dignitaries.
"How much is a piece of glass like this worth?" he asked curiously.
The shopkeeper smiled and replied, "Master also knows the benefits of this thing, so the price is a little higher."
"A piece of glass like this costs ten taels of silver, and two pieces can be used to make a window, so it's actually quite a good deal."
Duke Ningguo nodded: "It's not expensive."
But I also know that this is due to its geographical location. Yun'an County is just a county town after all.
If taken to Beijing to sell, such a piece of glass could be sold for at least fifty taels.
Next, the shopkeeper introduced glass bowls, glass plates, glass cups, glass vases and other items to everyone one by one.
Ning Leshu and Lin Wan are more interested in glass hair accessories, bracelets, necklaces and ornaments.
This thing sparkles brightly under the sun, and one of the prism-shaped ones can even emit colorful light, which is simply dazzlingly beautiful.
Upon seeing this, the shopkeeper gave each of them a set of headgear.
But how could the two of them take advantage of Xiao Ying? Not only did they pay, they also paid more.
Ning Yuanze also purchased a batch of ordinary glass, intending to use it to inlay windows.
Duke Ningguo took a fancy to an ornament and a pendant, and Ning Yuanze took the initiative to pay for them.
All these things cost only five or six hundred taels, but several people felt it was a great deal.
If it were in Beijing, even if the price were ten times higher, there would still be many people willing to buy it.
The shopkeeper was so happy that he was grinning from ear to ear. He was indeed a noble man, so generous and generous. He didn't have to worry about today's income anymore.
"Yingying's ingenuity is truly unmatched. She was able to create something so ingenious."
On the way to the county government office, Duke Ningguo was still praising it.
"By the way, Yingying lives in Yingfeng Town? I wonder how far it is from the county town?"
Ning Yuanze replied, "It only takes a little over an hour by carriage. When do you plan to go, Grandpa?"
Duke Ning stroked his beard and said, "Of course, the sooner the better."
Xiao Ying, whom they were thinking about, was still practicing hard in the Immortal Palace.
He didn't even go in person to attend such an important event as the opening of the glass shop.
Fortunately, God will not let down those who work hard.
After half a month of hard work, she finally reached the seventh level of Qi Refining!
