Chapter 454: Earn a Little Money

As the Chinese New Year approaches, a new type of porcelain suddenly appears in the capital, which is crystal clear and has charming colors. Pour water into the cup and shake it slightly in the sunlight, as if the entire star is placed in it, shining with dazzling light.

Unlike common porcelain, this new thing can clearly see the situation in the cup through the outer wall. When used to make tea, the tips of the tea leaves jump up and down in the cup under the impact of boiling water, rolling and dancing, and how the curled leaves slowly unfold can be clearly seen in any subtle changes.

So much so that later some people took the trouble to figure out how to present this process more perfectly. The rich ladies in the capital are even more proud of having a good tea art. Not to mention the various cups fired for this purpose, which are dazzling. It seems that making tea has become an art of performance rather than a traditional tea ceremony. As

soon as this transparent cup appeared, it immediately set off a wave of enthusiasm in the capital.

The shops selling this kind of glass cups were even more crowded, and even yamen runners came to maintain order. Otherwise, the stampede on the Jinsha River Bridge that year would happen again! It

was also sold out, and it was hard to get one. Xu's mother and the old lady realized that the tea set given to them by their granddaughter (daughter) earlier was so popular!

Now I heard outside that someone added one hundred taels of silver to the original price, just to get one, and hoped that the person who sold it would sell it!

"Mom, you are wrong, it has been hyped up to three hundred taels now!"

Xu Nan stretched out three fingers.

Xu's mother couldn't help but gasp, "Are these people crazy? It's just a cup, is it necessary to do this?"

What cup can't be bought with three hundred taels of silver?

Xu Nan rolled his eyes and deliberately said, "Mom, since you said so, why don't you sell the set you have and make a thousand taels of silver, what do you think?"

Xu's mother said that just now, but now that Xu Nan asked her to sell the glass in her hand, she was not happy again.

"How can that be! This is a gift from your eldest sister! How can you sell it? This is your eldest sister's intention!"

Xu's mother said righteously.

It seems that she treasures this thing simply because it is a gift from her daughter. It is not because this thing is too popular now!

Mother Xu wondered if she should invite a few ladies with whom she had good relations to visit. It was cold this day, so she hung a curtain in the yard to block the wind, lit a charcoal stove, put hot water and tea on the table, and took out the set of glasses that Mu Hua gave her... It should be a different experience.

Of course, she couldn't have done it to show off that she had a set of glasses! She just felt that the house was a little less lively. It's nice to invite people to visit occasionally.

Anyway, Mu Hua is about to enter the East Palace now, and there are some things they can't avoid even if they want to. Since they can't avoid it, they will just face it head-on.

"Sister, when are you going to give me a set!"

Xu Nan asked.

Xu Jinyu looked at Xu Muhua eagerly when she heard it.

Xu Muhua smiled, "Wait a minute, I certainly won't forget your gifts."

And there are also gifts for Dad and Big Brother. She has already thought of what to give them.

As she was talking, Xu's mother suddenly remembered something and looked at her eldest daughter suspiciously, "Muhua, from what you said, it seems that you have a way?"

Xu Muhua then remembered that she had not mentioned this to her family, so she said lightly, "Oh, Mom, I forgot to mention it to you. This glass cup was actually made by Big Brother Feng and me."

The room instantly became quiet, everyone opened their mouths and eyes wide, stunned, shocked by what she said.

It took Xu Nan a while to come back to his senses. He jumped up excitedly, rushed to her with a quick step, his eyes shining, "Sister, you just said... this glass cup was made by you and Brother Feng? In other words, it's your thing..."

Xu Muhua thought for a while and nodded, "You can say that! Brother Feng and I cooperated. He was responsible for finding people and building kilns. It took a lot of time and energy, and we finally fired the first batch of glass products before the New Year."

"Oh my God, sister, you're amazing! How did you think of making this kind of cup? And how did you know about this kind of cup? I've never seen you think about these things before. How do you know all this?"

Xu Nan asked all at once.

"Stop, stop, stop! I just happened to see the crystal cup and had a sudden idea. It was also because of good luck and the great ability of Brother Feng, who found many skilled craftsmen, that I was able to make it successfully. Brother Feng deserves the greatest credit."

She contributed both money and effort, so she was responsible for coming up with an idea.

Mother Xu finally came to her senses and felt her heart beating faster. Thinking of the situation outside, she hurriedly said, "You are not allowed to tell anyone about this!"

She really couldn't imagine that if people outside knew that this thing was made by her daughter, those people would definitely swarm in and chase her and Mu Hua to ask for it!

Xu Mu Hua also said, "Yes, yes, yes, don't tell anyone, I don't want people to chase me for it." If

she gave it to him, it would break the rules. If she didn't give it to him, she would offend people!

"Big sister, this can make a lot of money, right?"

Xu Nan suddenly asked.

"What do you think?"

If she can't make money, why does she mess around with it?

Xu Nan suddenly felt a little worried, "Mom, you see, big sister is now a rich woman, and I still rely on the monthly allowance from my family..."

He couldn't catch up with big sister even if he flattered her!

Xu Muhua smiled, "Why do you, a scholar, compare with me? You want to pass the imperial examinations, serve the country and the people in the future, and do great things. Big sister is a woman, and there is a limit to what she can do."

This society does not allow women to do too much, otherwise they will be heretics and unfaithful to women. She can only think of ways to make money to ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing.

Xu Nan disagreed with this statement, muttering: "But many men are not as capable as my elder sister..."

He is not a child anymore, he knows that this matter alone is not as easy as my elder sister said, not to mention that my elder sister also made a mahjong.

If Xu Muhua knew that he thought so, she would be ashamed.

She just took advantage of the modern people and acted opportunistically, but she dare not say how powerful she is. She did all this for only one purpose, that is to live well.

God knows if she can't survive here, will she really die.

I don't know what the modern world is like. In the modern world, is she dead?

If she is dead, it would probably be on the news, right?
