The Hero Who Troubles the Heroes

The city of Mason in the southern part of the Biberach Kingdom is the largest ceramic production base in the northern part of the mainland, where everything from the cheapest pottery to the most expensive bone china is produced.

In particular, the bone china products produced here are famous in the mainland for their delicate and transparent porcelain.

What's more valuable is that the bone china products here incorporate magical elements when they are made, so that the porcelain here has functions that the porcelain on the earth (猹) does not have.

For example, tableware that can keep warm automatically, can be cleaned automatically, and is hard to break, ask if you want it.

However, the qualified rate of such magical bone china products is extremely low, resulting in a very low overall output, making things rare and expensive, and becoming a luxury used by nobles on the mainland to show their status.

As a caravan specializing in the sale of luxury goods, Charles and the others naturally came here to stock up.

The caravan settled in the hotel in the commercial area with ease. On the upper floor of this hotel adjacent to the port area, you can see a large river flowing from north to south through the window, and the merchant ships on the river. These merchant ships brought firewood, animal bones and some other raw materials for fuel, and then shipped various pottery and porcelain products to all corners of the continent.

Charles, who was looking at the scenery by the window, suddenly felt that the collar behind his neck had been lifted, and then found that Elizabeth had picked him up.

"Come on, go to the street and check the market." Elizabeth pulled Charles and said, "Look at the latest fashion trends, so as not to buy outdated goods."

Charles said: "So if you keep outdated goods for a long time, they will become antiques. Anyway, the lifespan of elves is so long."

"The elves who think so are all bankrupted by the warehouse rent." Elizabeth said, "The preservation of antiques is conditional, it doesn't mean that you can just find a place and throw them away."

In the business district of Mason City, the shops selling pottery and porcelain account for the vast majority. The owners of these stores either have their own kilns or have cooperative relations with some kilns.

Elizabeth handed Charles the hard-boiled egg, "It seems we came a little early."

Charles, who took the boiled egg, replied, "They opened the door too late."

From arriving outside the city early in the morning, then entering the city, and then going out for a walk after settling in the hotel, Charles and the others spent a lot of time.

Now all the stalls selling breakfast on the street are about to close, and Elizabeth also bought the last few boiled eggs, and many shops are not ready to open.

Elizabeth patted Charles on the shoulder, "Go and find out the news."

Charles found a shop that sold porcelain dolls and animal ornaments, bought a few gadgets and got a message from the proprietress.

"I heard that there is a lively scene in the porcelain workshop area in the north, and many shopkeepers have passed by." Charles came back to report to Elizabeth.

So Elizabeth dragged Charles to the north without saying a word. They left the city not long ago. With her keen hearing, Elizabeth quickly found a famous porcelain workshop.

There are rows of shelves in the open space where the workshop just entered the door, and pieces of porcelain are displayed on the shelves. In front of the porcelain, there are merchants...

"It's interesting." Elizabeth, who pulled Charles in, glanced at the china on the shelf and the wholesale price posted under the china, and said, "It seems to be another technological innovation."

Charles pretended not to understand what Elizabeth meant, but carefully looked at the ceramic dolls and animal ornaments on the shelf in front of him.

It was a group of seven girls with different postures. The girls in long skirts looked like they were outing in the warm spring breeze and sunshine.

Seeing that the seven heroines in "Hamlet and the Philosopher's Stone" that he tossed out were made into figurines and he didn't have any copyright fees, Charles was full of snacks.

In addition to these dolls, there are also a variety of porcelain cups and tableware on display here. Different from the traditional round utensils made by drawing on a turntable, most of the bowls and cups on display here are polygonal. In the past, polygonal porcelain was generally made of several pieces of porcelain clay, and the labor cost was higher than that of porcelain produced with a turntable.

But that's not where Charles and Elizabeth are concerned, because the row of shelves is full of mass-produced products of the same look. These porcelain dolls, tableware and cups can be said to be exactly the same except for a little difference in color that does not affect the overall situation.

What's more important is their price, the price of these products is much lower than other products of the same type.

Although the commodities here are all ordinary porcelain, these are the most sold varieties in the porcelain market. The wealthy free people and the aristocrats at the bottom can afford them, and the number of these people is very large.

Charles, who has seen many cases of "cabbageization of high-end commodities", has seen the mystery. This is that someone has adopted new technology to reduce the production cost of these types of porcelain, and then prepares to go the way of others, and finally makes people nowhere. can go.

And this technology Charles also guessed a little~www.wuxiaspot.com~ There is a high probability that the grouting process is used.

However, he didn't intend to stab this matter out, and he didn't have the hobby to cut off people's fortunes for no reason. He is a sugar and medicine seller, and there is no business conflict with others who sell ceramics.

Besides, he has bankrupted people. Who will he ask for royalties?

Unlike the businessmen who were estimating how to purchase goods, Charles was simply watching the fun. Soon, he found a set of china that made him laugh and cry.

It was a set of tea sets with one pot and six cups. The tea cups were octagonal, and each cup was decorated with the characters of four demons.

Families that started out in the war with the demons liked to use those utensils decorated with demons to show their clan's abundance of martial virtues. Up to now, this preference has also become popular in a certain range.

However, human beings have not studied deeply the characters of the demon race. The ancestors of the Charles family have been running rampant in this field for three hundred years, relying on a dictionary handed down from their ancestors.

So, when Charles saw the words "clear to cloudy", "partial showers", "go out with an umbrella" and other words written on the cups, he laughed out loud on the spot.

"What are you laughing at?" asked Elizabeth, who was standing behind him.

Charles pointed out the cups to Elizabeth, but she didn't care about it, "It's good to get used to it, when someone invited me to dinner more than 30 years ago, the tableware he took out still said 'Father's Debt to Son'. 'Woolen cloth."
