Chapter 200: Killing Three Birds with One Stone
In addition to the glass, there was another item that attracted He Zhiran's attention.
That thing looked a bit like the plastic sheet from my previous life, but it looked thicker than the plastic sheet, and its transparency was much lower.
He Zhiran could conclude that this thing was the most primitive form of plastic sheeting.
Thinking about the seasons in the northwest, although the winter is not as cold as in the north, there is also snow. At that time, the land will still be frozen for a period of time, making it impossible to grow two crops here.
To put it bluntly, the climate here is somewhat similar to that of North China in the past, and is very suitable for building winter greenhouses.
With the greenhouse, she can not only eat green vegetables that she cannot see in winter, but also provide cover for her to take food out of the space. If the greenhouse is expanded, it can also create profits for the family.
It's like killing three birds with one stone.
The fabrics also look much more refined than the cotton cloth of the Dashun Dynasty, especially the colors and patterns are very special.
As for those grains, He Zhiran really had no interest in them.
After all, her space has seeds of any crop she wants.
It seems that she really needs to buy some items from Henry, which will be perfect for her to use as cover when getting supplies from the space.
Because he had been to He Zhiran's space, Mo Jiuye was not very interested in these things.
The two's calm performance was beyond Henry's imagination.
It is impossible for the Dashun Dynasty to have these things, so why are they not interested at all?
If he is interested, he can give them some as a reward.
Just as Henry was stunned, He Zhiran spoke.
“Henry, are these the only things you brought to Dashun?”
Now, Henry was even more certain that his goods did not attract the two people.
In order to show the superiority of his country, Henry went around to the corner of the warehouse and brought out a large box.
"All the good stuff is here. I'll show you now."
As he spoke, Henry had already carefully placed the big box on the ground. The way he handled it with care and gentleness showed that he treasured the items in the box very much.
He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye both stretched their heads to look at the items in the box.
Inside the box, each item was wrapped in an exquisite packaging box.
Henry picked up the top one first, opened the box, and inside was a very old copper telescope.
This thing is not unfamiliar to both of them.
When Mo Jiuye was bored in the space, he would often take it and play with it.
Henry took the telescope out of the box and said proudly:
"This thing is our country's treasure. I spent a lot of effort to get one."
He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye just nodded. It was obvious that they had no interest in the telescope.
Henry saw this and thought that the two men didn't know the value of the goods.
Anyway, in his opinion, these two people can't afford such high-end things, so if they don't want to look at it, then forget it.
He put the telescope back into the box and continued to show the treasures inside.
What appeared before the two of them again were several palm-sized mirrors.
The mirror is not the bronze mirror used by people in the Dashun Dynasty, but the glass mirror that can be seen everywhere in later generations.
Looking at the workmanship on the back of the mirror, it is all handmade, and the patterns carved on it are also in line with Western characteristics.
Seeing that He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye still didn't show any surprise, Henry just thought they were stupid and continued to show off other items.
This time, what he took out finally piqued He Zhiran's interest.
It's a diamond.
A diamond several times larger than a pigeon egg.
He Zhiran's eyes suddenly lit up.
If such a large diamond were to be auctioned in the future, it would definitely fetch a sky-high price.
What’s even more exciting is that there are dozens of such diamonds in that box.
In fact, He Zhiran didn't know that diamonds were worthless in ancient times.
Because diamonds are so hard, the forging technology of the time made it difficult to separate them, let alone create regular shapes for inlaying jewelry.
Henry brought so many diamonds here just because he thought they were sparkling and beautiful, and wanted to use their beauty to gain some benefits.
Seeing that He Zhiran liked it, he generously picked one up and put it in her hand.
"I see you like this diamond very much, so I'll give you one."
He Zhiran knew a little about the market price of diamonds in ancient times.
Originating from the West, it is not worth much because it is too hard.
From Henry's behavior, it can be seen that if this thing is priceless, he would not be so generous to give it to himself.
In that case, He Zhiran accepted it without any pressure.
After thanking him, He Zhiran pointed to the box of diamonds and asked, "Henry, what price do you plan to sell these diamonds for?"
Before coming to Dashun, Henry had consulted his predecessors and was no stranger to the silver and copper coins here.
Therefore, when He Zhiran asked about the price, he directly quoted the selling price he had already planned.
He stretched out his hand towards He Zhiran: "Fifty taels, fifty taels of these diamonds will do."
"Okay, I want all these diamonds." After hearing the price, He Zhiran didn't even bother to bargain.
This is too cheap...
Henry was obviously surprised to hear her say this.
After all, in his impression, fifty taels was definitely a huge sum of money for ordinary people in Dashun.
Moreover, no matter how he looked at it, He Zhiran didn't look like a rich man.
Considering that the other party had helped him so much, Henry really didn't want her to go bankrupt because of these diamonds.
"He Zhiran, if you really like this thing, I'll give you another one."
He Zhiran didn't know what Henry was thinking.
"What? You're selective about who you sell your goods to?"
Henry was obviously embarrassed and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no, no, no, I was thinking that this thing is a bit expensive..."
He Zhiran finally understood what Henry meant.
She burst out laughing.
"Henry, you don't have to worry about me. I'm not short of money."
Henry could see that He Zhiran didn't mean to brag when he spoke.
"In that case, these diamonds are all yours."
As he spoke, he had already placed the box in He Zhiran's hand.
He Zhiran did not pay the silver immediately. She guessed that Henry probably did not want to accept the banknote, and fifty taels of silver was a large pile. If she took it out and gave it to him without any packages on her, she would definitely be questioned.
"The silver is in our car. I'll give it to you when we get ashore."
Henry responded readily and continued to show off other treasures.
The things taken out later still attracted He Zhiran.
Rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and crystal clear amethysts. In short, the quantity of each gem is considerable.
In the eyes of Westerners at this time, these gems of various colors are much more valuable than diamonds.
