Chapter 346 Xie Xiu is selling goods again!
Taking advantage of the approaching New Year, Situ Yuan decisively put up tin mirrors and glass windows.
So, the people in the capital were surprised to find that the windows on the second floor of Liulifang had been replaced with transparent glass.
Liulifang is a specialty store opened by a glass factory.
Previously, with the popularity of colored glass, many people were very curious about why Situ Yuan’s factory was called the Glass Factory instead of the Colored Glass Factory, and what exactly is glass?
At that time, the guys in the Liulifang explained to the people that glass was more transparent and could be used to make windows.
After this incident spread, almost everyone in the capital knew about glass windows.
Therefore, after the glass windows on the second floor of Liulifang were replaced, it immediately attracted the attention of the people.
Seeing more and more people being drawn to the second-floor windows, the shopkeeper immediately instructed his staff, "Do you remember what I told you before? Now you can do it."
The man's eyes lit up: "You mean, we can put the mirror outside now?"
The shopkeeper nodded, looked at the onlookers outside, and said with a smile: "It's almost time. There are more people watching the excitement outside. We should put the glass mirror out now, otherwise the effect will not be so good once these people leave."
The guy nodded and hurried out to prepare.
Because the windows are on the second floor, people cannot stand too close to the shop if they want to see it clearly. It is best to stand across the street so that they can see the windows on the second floor more conveniently.
This is very convenient for the guys at Liulifang.
They fenced off a piece of land in the open space next to the store and placed a round mirror in the middle.
This mirror is one foot in diameter and is placed on a wooden shelf. The height is just right for people to use it to look at their faces.
The reason for putting up the fence was that people were worried that they would get too excited and break the mirror.
In order to avoid being bumped into by the people, the waiter also put a small billboard next to the mirror, which read "Glass mirror, valued at one hundred taels of silver, free to view, compensation required if damaged."
At the same time, there were four strong men guarding the surroundings for security.
After arranging all this, a waiter even stood in front of the mirror to look at himself, adjusted his hat, and then stood by with a smile on his face.
At this moment, all the people around who were looking at the glass windows were stunned.
"That thing is actually a mirror!"
"My God, it's so clear!"
Everyone looked from afar and could just barely see the street and the crowd of onlookers reflected in the mirror.
But how can it be fun to just watch from a distance?
Soon, someone brave enough strode over.
He didn't dare get too close, and stopped a step away from the fence. He looked at the mirror curiously and asked the waiter, "Is this a mirror? It reflects things so clearly!"
The clerk smiled brightly: "This is a new glass mirror launched by our store. It is made of glass. You can see it. The windows on the second floor have been replaced. That thing is glass. It allows people to see very clearly, just like the best water jade.
This glass mirror is made of high-quality glass. Not only does it reflect people very clearly, but you don’t have to worry about the mirror becoming blurry, and you don’t have to hire someone to polish it.”
He knew that the people around him must be listening attentively, so he deliberately raised his voice so that everyone around him could hear clearly, so that if someone came to ask questions later, he wouldn't have to explain one by one.
The person who asked the question had already walked to the mirror and looked at himself in surprise. The more he looked, the more addicted he became.
After all, the bronze mirror is not this big, and it doesn’t reflect as clearly as this mirror.
How can you not be addicted to being able to see your own appearance clearly?
He couldn't help but ask, "How much do you sell this glass mirror for?"
The people around were also very curious, so they all looked at the guy with burning eyes.
Some of them have already walked over.
There's no way around it. Watching others look in the mirror makes me jealous.
They also wanted to take a picture.
The waiter glanced at the crowd calmly, knowing that they all wanted to know, so he said loudly: "This mirror is large in size, so it is very difficult to make. This mirror will cost one hundred taels of silver, including the rosewood stand.
However, the store also has smaller dressing table mirrors and small hand mirrors. The dressing table mirror can be placed on the dressing table, and the small hand mirror can be held in the hand. Not only does it provide very clear images, it is also very convenient to use.
It's just that glass is fragile, so mirrors made of glass are not as unbreakable as bronze mirrors. This thing is afraid of falling, so you have to be careful when using it to avoid breaking it.
Of course, we are bound to be careless when using it in our daily life. So if you buy a glass mirror in our store and it is accidentally broken within one year, you can go to the store to replace the mirror for free.
If it breaks again after being replaced, you will have to pay some money to replace it again.
Of course, if it has not been broken, this mirror can be used continuously for decades without any problem.
So if you want to buy a glass mirror, you have to think carefully beforehand. After all, this mirror is not easy to make, so the price is not low, but it is also very easy to break if dropped."
After saying this, the guy sighed, looking very regretful.
He really felt regretful. It would be great if this glass mirror was not afraid of breaking.
Anyway, ever since he looked in the glass mirror, he has liked it. Unfortunately, he can't afford it, so he can only look in it more often in the store.
Nowadays, the cheapest small hand mirror in the store costs five taels of silver.
Even if he gritted his teeth and bought it, he still had to worry about accidentally breaking it when using it in the future, and the five taels of silver would be wasted.
So just don’t buy it.
However, they had to be careful at all times when working in the Liulifang. Everything in the shop was expensive, and breaking even one item could cost him several months' wages.
At this time, more people came over and began to look in the mirror.
They now knew how precious the glass mirror was, so when they looked at themselves, they didn't dare stand close to the fence, and they didn't dare push each other, for fear of breaking the mirror and losing everything.
Just after looking into the glass mirror, they immediately fell in love with it.
"This mirror is really clear, but it's too expensive."
"Yes, it's a really good mirror, but it's not only expensive, but also afraid of breaking. People like us can only look at it and dare not buy it."
Gradually, everyone around came over to look in the mirror.
Some people took the photos and then left, going to show off to others.
Some were reluctant to leave and looked at the glass mirror with envy.
Some people even made all kinds of funny faces in front of the mirror and admired their own funny looks.
Soon, the news that Liulifang had launched the glass mirror spread rapidly in the capital.
At the same time, Xie Xiu also took out a small round mirror in the Imperial College.
The small round mirror is made into a foldable flip-top style, which is very convenient to open and use. After use, you can fold it up and cover the mirror surface without worrying about the mirror surface getting dirty.
Because of its compact size, it can be placed in a sleeve pocket, purse or school bag, which is very convenient.
As soon as Xie Xiu took out the mirror, it immediately attracted the attention of the people around him.
