Chapter 1552: Glass Cup
Translator: Lonelytree
As soon as Lin Yuelan announced the start of the wine tasting, twenty beautiful women walked out. They were all dressed in the same clothes and had the same hair accessories. They once again stunned everyone.
However, what was even more shocking was the transparent wine glasses on the women’s trays.
“Oh my god! Is this a wine glass?” Many people exclaimed. “But why is this wine cup transparent? It’s even more transparent than window paper!’ “Wow, are these silica cups from overseas?”
“But if the overseas silica cup is sold here, it will be sold at a sky-high price.
Looking at these cups, they are crystal clear and beautiful. One of them should be priceless, not to mention that there were hundreds of them. No matter rich the princess of Guguo was, buying so many silica cups at once must have cost a lot, right?” Someone asked doubtfully.
“No, haven’t you noticed that these silica cups are more transparent than those overseas?” Someone immediately asked in puzzlement.
“That’s right!’
Yuwen Longyan and the others were shocked by the appearance of these transparent cups.
The royal family did have silica cups, which were given to the Longyan
Country by those overseas businessmen. Of course, the tributes were the best.
But even so, the offerings were far inferior to the glass cups that appeared here,
Also, there were a lot of silica cups here.
Yuwen Longyan asked in surprise,” Girl, where did you get so many silica cups?”
Lin Yuelan took out two cups from a waiter’s tray. One was for the emperor, and the other was for the crown prince. Then, she took one for herself. After that, the waiter walked to each of the distinguished guests. It was obvious that they wanted them to take a cup each.
Everyone carefully took out their cups.
These cups were goblets, so there was no need to teach them how to hold them.
Then, Lin Yuelan explained,” Your Majesty, this is not a normal silica cup. It’s a glass cup.”
Everyone pricked up their ears to listen to Lin Yuelan’s explanation about the cup.
Yuwen Longyan was confused. “Glass?”
But what was glass?
Of course, this was the question in everyone’s heart.
Lin Yuelan didn’t know which industry the glass production would be allocated to at first. Would it be the furniture industry or the housing construction industry?
However, considering various reasons, Lin Yuelan started a separate glass industry.
After all, this item was more valuable than furniture and houses.
If she placed it directly under her name, those who wanted to get their hands on the glass would have to think carefully.
Since the glass had been manufactured, it was already a feature of the housing construction company to install glass windows in the rooms. This formed an open cooperation with the housing construction company.
In addition to the woodworking workshop, there were also several independent workshops. One was for furniture, one was for farming tools, and one was for commercial tools, such as various commercial cabinets.
However, after the glass was produced, Lin Yuelan planned to set up another glass workshop.
The purpose was clear. Of course, it was to sell glass furniture, such as glass cups, glass cabinets, and glass coffee tables. This way, Lin Yuelan would have an open cooperation with the woodworking workshop.
Lin Yuelan smiled and said,” This glass is a new material that I recently developed. It is colourless, odourless, transparent, and translucent. At that time, I had a flash of inspiration and immediately thought, would it be better to make this thing into a goblet and use it to drink red wine? In the end, it turned out to be true!”
Yuwen Longyan asked curiously,” Hey, girl, how did you come up with glass?”
Lin Yuelan said in embarrassment,” You know, I built a big house in Taoyuan Village, but it doesn’t feel bright enough. After coming to the capital, I saw the glass cups sold by overseas merchants and was instantly inspired. I bought a glass bead at a high price, and after studying it, 1 invented this glass!”
After hearing Lin Yuelan’s words, the people who were listening to her instantly felt that it was really infuriating to compare themselves to her.
Although the overseas merchants sold silica at a high price, most of the people present were not short of money. They would at least buy one or two pieces of silica and keep them at home.
They only considered keeping it at home, but none of them wanted to study it.
After all, this thing was too expensive.. If the thing was damaged and something was not developed, wouldn’t the gains not make up for the losses?
