Chapter 63: Rare Colored Glass and Diorama
As soon as the Western merchants got off the ship, they saw a group of young men in brown short clothes rushing over and blocking a path from the dock.
It was Fu Chenan’s personal guard.
The captain of the guard stepped forward and bowed: "Boss Xisi, our general has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come this way."
The Western businessman called Boss Sis nodded reservedly to the captain of the guards.
"Then please deliver these boxes to General Fu. These are the goods General Fu wants."
"Thank you, Boss Sis." The captain of the guards agreed and waved his hand. Several guards came up from behind and carefully carried down the large wooden boxes and put them on the mule cart next to them.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a group of people escorted the mule cart towards the Marshal's Mansion and Anxiang Street respectively.
Such a strange Western merchant must be selling strange things as well, right?
Curious people followed one after another, wanting to see what was inside the box after it was opened.
Soon, the mule cart stopped in front of a new shop on Anxiang Street. The signboard of "Taotao's Cosmetics Shop" hanging on the door was particularly eye-catching. The sign at the door swayed in the wind, which made people even more curious.
This Western businessman also sells cosmetics?
The two boxes were carefully carried down by the guards. Boss Sis pointed to one of the boxes and said, "This is the colored glass you wanted. Do you think it's suitable?"
Fu Chenan walked over to open the box, then lifted the thick cotton padding, and carefully took out a piece of cut and polished tempered glass from inside...
The completely transparent material and smoothness left everyone stunned: This thing is so smooth?
Fu Chenan called his personal guards forward, and each of them lifted one side and carefully placed the tempered glass in the groove on the counter.
Perfect fit!
The counter, which had previously surprised people, was not covered, but now was covered with a thick layer of tempered glass, so that the things inside could be clearly seen, but people outside could not reach them.
You can only look at it, not touch it.
so amazing!
Unique!
The onlookers have already started talking.
"Oh my God!"
“It’s actually transparent!”
"This is cleaner than Shuiyu!"
"I've never seen anything like it..."
"This must be expensive, right?"
"That's for sure..."
Fu Chenan looked at the curious expressions of the crowd and felt secretly happy in his heart.
It is said that this glass is not expensive in Miss Xiao's world, and almost all businesses use this kind of counter.
There is also a cigarette cabinet made of this kind of glass in Miss Xiao’s store.
The guard took out four more pieces of glass from the box, a total of five pieces of glass, and made five relatively independent and identical counters.
Each counter was covered with glass on the top and silk was spread inside, and then the counter was ready.
At this time, Fu Chenan asked someone to open another box.
Neat rows of exquisite boxes are stacked layer upon layer.
A box full.
Fu Chenan took the boxes out carefully and placed them on the counter. Ruyi and Qiuyue had already started to busy themselves with the decoration with the five girls.
The guards also began to clear the area: "If you want to watch the fun, please watch from outside. It's too messy inside. It's hard to explain if anything gets broken or damaged..."
The aloof and cold personal guard was transformed into a waiter.
Ruyi and Qiuyue put the things in order one by one, but did not take out the rest. Instead, they took out a stack of hexagonal rhombus-shaped sheets from the box.
"What is this?" The people outside the door were at a distance and couldn't see clearly, so they were extremely curious!
With a hint of pride, Qiuyue placed one of the hexagonal diamond-shaped slices into a specially carved wooden frame, then carefully fastened it and placed it on the glass counter.
Ruyi was surprised and walked over to pick it up and looked at it carefully. After taking a look, she was not the only one who exclaimed: "Oh! It's so clear!"
Even the onlookers outside exclaimed! What did they just see?
The fairy-like beauty had her back to him, but her face actually appeared in the wooden frame!
It’s true!
Every detail is revealed!
"Is this a mirror?" someone asked hesitantly.
Another person immediately retorted: "How is it possible? Where can I find such a clear bronze mirror?"
"If it's not a mirror, how can it be so clear?"
"Is it possible that this is a Western peep show? It's a little different from our bronze mirrors?" Someone thought divergently and thought of the unique origin of this Western merchant.
Ruyi had already taken the mirror and walked in front of everyone, explaining coquettishly: "This is indeed a peep show."
"Any distinguished customer who comes to our shop to buy cosmetics can enjoy our dressing services..."
Oh my god, this shop is so magical?
Not only is it decorated in a unique style, but even the cosmetics inside look particularly valuable. The box is so exquisite... You can't take your eyes off it just by looking at it!
Someone couldn't help but ask loudly: "When will this shop open?"
Fu Chenan looked like a handsome young man today, with a silly smile on his face: "Dear fellow villagers, our shop will open tomorrow, please spread the word..."
"Isn't this thing cheap?" someone asked.
Fu Chenan pointed at the Sith boss who was still sitting in the shop and said, "How can something that has traveled across the ocean be cheap?"
"But we are fair to everyone here. If you want something, you need to do it within your means."
I’ll just say my stuff is quite expensive, so you can decide for yourself.
After the shop was set up, Fu Chenan asked the captain of the personal guard to take the Sith boss Qian Laogui back to the Marshal's Mansion, while he himself took a large box of various things and went to the palace.
At this time, the morning court in the palace should have been over, so it would not be rash for him to go there at this time.
When the Emperor heard that Fu Chenan came to ask for a meeting at this time, he was also very curious.
Fu Chenan, who was born a butcher, wanted to open a cosmetics shop, which made him a laughing stock among people in the capital.
Now he wants to come to the palace to see me?
Could it be that he failed to find out and wanted to extort money from him? !
Curious, His Majesty the Emperor simply stopped several ministers who were preparing to discuss matters: "Mr. Fu is here, everyone, let's hear what big thing he has to say."
Fu Chenan came in with a big box in his arms. As soon as he entered the imperial study, he bowed deeply: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty! Long live the emperor..."
His Majesty the Emperor asked him to stand up, but his eyes fell on the box in Fu Chenan's arms: "What are you doing here? What are you holding?"
Fu Chenan handed the box to the father-in-law next to him. The father-in-law opened it carefully and saw that there were small wooden boxes inside.
The wooden box was opened again, revealing porcelain boxes inside.
The color of this porcelain box is very pretty, and there are all kinds of colorful things inside.
The father-in-law was well-informed and immediately asked, "Is this rouge?"
Fu Chenan stepped forward and introduced them one by one: "This is a variety of rouge in different colors. It can be used on the face and the mouth."
"This one is for face application, this one is for eyebrow drawing, and this one is for covering spots..."
"This is for washing your face, hands and bathing..."
After the introduction, he took out a stack of soft mirrors on the side and said, "This is a peep show. It's clearer than a bronze mirror..."
