Chapter 908 looks like being left out.

Chapter 908 looks like being left out.

Because now it’s not just retail in Beijing.

Wholesalers from other places also came.

The clocks I bought before are almost out of stock.

If it weren't for the shell production.

I'm afraid it's already out of stock.

But now it is impossible to hire new carpenters because all the idle carpenters in the capital have been invited by Song Jin to the processing room.

Still can't win. The carpenters in Beijing are just because of the years and time watches.

Then it became a popular job in Beijing.

In the past, an average carpenter could only earn a few taels of silver a month.

But now it’s between five and ten taels a month.

Not to mention the skilled masters.

An intricate clock.

That kind of carpenter earns dozens of taels a month.

One costs several hundred taels!

It is comparable to the salary of a third or fourth rank official in the imperial court.

Of course, a master can only make two or three of those complicated standing clocks a month.

One is twenty taels.

The master who does the oiling and baking gets paid a little less.

But the cost of one is more than twenty taels.

But the selling price is between more than one thousand taels and more than two thousand taels.

Prices vary.

Small watches cannot fit into the core.

It's a wall watch.

And watches, can only import ready-made ones.

That accessory is too delicate, and it is impossible to achieve that kind of production technology at this time.

Shen Xia watched and listened to Song Jin saying that he couldn't do it.

Looks like I need to restock.

I must score a little more this time.

I'll come to your space and talk about it later tonight.

Then I thought about it and realized that the living room in the space took up half of the room.

Because of the list that Shen’s father had drawn up before.

Huayu has bought everything.

We have to hurry and clear things out.

But the problem now is that the shipments are not coming in fast, how do we solve it?

The other brothers were listening.

Can't figure out what to do.

Shen Xia herself suddenly couldn't think of it.

We can't get modern ones, and wooden station clocks are not cheap nowadays.

They are all anti-antiques.

And when it comes to solid wood and carving craftsmanship, it is much more expensive than it is now.

At this moment, Song Yun suddenly interrupted and said, "I think we can consider making the shell out of ceramic. In this way, the production speed will be very fast, because we only need to design the appearance, and no matter how many we want to produce, it will not be a problem."

After hearing this, Song Jin's eyes lit up and he seemed to be very interested in this proposal. He agreed, "Well, it does sound good!"

Shen Xia at the side sighed softly and said, "However, the transportation cost of ceramics is very high. Unless it is transported by water, ceramic products are too easy to be damaged if they are transported by road."

Song Jiang also nodded. He thought for a moment and expressed his thoughts: "That is indeed the case, but we can also give it a try. After all, there is a waterway in the next county. If it doesn't work, we can also set up a processing plant there, which will also facilitate transportation for foreign merchants."

After listening to Song Jiang's words, Song Jin thought for a moment and said, "Well, this seems to be a feasible solution."

Song Yun also nodded: "Yes, this is also convenient for export."

Shen Xia suddenly heard these four words "export to the outside world".

I had an idea originally, but after thinking about it I decided to give it up.

After all, she still had some concerns about what Concubine Yi said at the palace banquet before.

But everyone was here, and there were some things she could only discuss with her fourth and third brothers.

Xiaowu is too young and I don’t know how to tell him many things.

My second brother is not very cunning, so you can't tell him everything. He may not be able to keep a secret.

Although the eldest brother is better than the second brother.

But if you don’t have enough brains, that won’t work either.

When it comes to cunning and scheming, the third and fourth brothers are the best.

Regarding what the third brother said.

That’s what we agreed on.

As for the styling.

The third brother has been to many places and has his own ideas.

Shen Xia did not offer any further advice on this point.

She has been training them over the years so that they can stand on their own.

So I can lie flat.

Instead of doing everything yourself.

Finally, look at the fourth brother.

"Fourth brother, how have you been lately?"

Song Yun pursed his lips and said calmly: "It's okay, no different from usual."

Xia Xia doesn't need to worry about the affairs of the court.

So don't tell her.

He and Gu Zizhan will arrange other matters.

"Oh, all right."

We chatted about other things in the yard for a while.

the other side

Ling Heng sat leisurely in the yard, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand. The hot steam rose up, reflecting the stars in the night sky.

He raised his head slightly, staring at the vast starry sky, and a faint melancholy welled up in his heart.

"Fallen leaves..." Ling Heng called softly, and his voice seemed to be blown away in the air by the night wind.

Luo Ye came in response and stood quietly beside Ling Heng with her head lowered, waiting for the young master's instructions.

"What is she doing?" Ling Heng's gaze was still on the starry sky, as if he was talking to the distant stars, but his question was obviously directed at someone.

Luo Ye understood in his heart, although the young master did not mention any name, he knew that the "she" the young master was talking about must be the princess without a doubt.

After all, only the princess could make the young master miss her so much and talk about her so often.

"Sir, the princess is in her yard." Luoye replied respectfully.

"Is she alone?" Ling Heng asked, with a barely perceptible hint of expectation in his tone.

Luoye hesitated for a moment, he really didn't know how to answer this question.

It is said that the princess and several gentlemen of the Song family were chatting and laughing in the yard while enjoying the cool air?

If he said that, he would definitely be scolded by the young master.

But based on the young master's understanding of the princess, shouldn't he be mentally prepared for this situation?

Seeing that Luo Ye didn't respond, Ling Heng slowly turned his head, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring straight at Luo Ye. It seemed as if he could see through him.

Luo Ye felt as if a thorn was on his back and was uncomfortable all over. He lowered his head, not daring to look at the young master, and secretly groaned in his heart.

"What?" Ling Heng's voice was filled with a hint of impatience.

Luo Ye took a deep breath and said softly, "The princess and several masters of the Song family are enjoying the cool in the yard."

Before he finished speaking, the cup in Ling Heng's hand suddenly made a crisp "crack" sound, obviously caused by him squeezing it too hard.

Seeing this, Luoye's heart tightened even more. He quickly closed his mouth, not daring to say another word.

He sighed inwardly, why is this happening, young master?

The yard was unusually quiet at this moment.

Even the chirping of insects and birds outside the yard were particularly obvious.

Looking at the young master, he looked as if he was being ignored.

Luo Ye felt as if his eyes were dazzled.

This is the expression his son would have.

The unrivaled self-confidence and cold expression from before.

It seems to be gone.

Now there is a hint of worldly air about me.

If the princess only belongs to this young master.

Perhaps the two of them will be the enviable couple.

But the princess is destined to not be able to give the young master such a life.

The young master himself was unwilling to give up.

So you can only make your own choices.

Luo Ye suddenly felt sorry for her own son for a moment.
