Chapter 123: All Made of Plastic
Chapter 123: All Made of Plastic
Lin Lan and the others turned pale. They were already unsure of what was going to happen, and now when they heard Hu Fulai's shouting, they became even more worried.
They couldn't help but look at the guard not far away. The latter didn't have any special expression, but just frowned when he heard Hu Fulai's voice. Someone entered the cabin, as if to stop them from making noise.
"What should we do? Will it be true..." Aunt Yu held Lin Lan's hand tightly, not knowing what to do at all.
At this moment, Jian Yunsang's low chuckle could be heard from the sky. "Chao Chao, you don't have to worry so much. This ring isn't expensive here. It's made of plastic, and plastic is very common here. But plastic only existed over a hundred years ago. Even sweet potatoes weren't introduced to Shangliu Village where you live. It must have been several hundred years ago. So nothing is made of plastic. Scarcity makes things valuable. The plastic ring you gave away is one of the few in the world, so it must be valuable."
Chao Chao opened his mouth wide, "Yes, Hu Fulai and his team made quite a lot of money from selling them before."
"So, the value of things isn't fixed. It depends on where it is, who owns it, and whether it's a rare item in the local area." Jian Yunsang stroked her hair. "Take glass, for example. We have a lot of it now, like glass bowls, glass cups, mirrors, and the like. They're all very common and cheap. But in ancient times, there wasn't even glass, and transparent colored glaze was very valuable and rare, wasn't it?"
Chao Chao nodded, finally feeling relieved.
Lin Lan and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. Yes, things that cost a few cents in later generations don’t mean they only cost a few cents in Daqi.
Just like Miss Jane said, it is unique in the world and of course it is valuable.
For some reason, they felt a lot more at ease.
There is no way to feel uneasy. It has come to this point. What else can they do?
"Since we're here, let's make the best of it," Guo Xiucai soothed. "The things were bought by the county magistrate, and the price was set by him. The current emperor is so wise and wise that he won't blame us."
In the eyes of Lin Lan and others, Mr. Guo is well-educated and knowledgeable. Since he said so, there is no need to worry.
What's more, they haven't used the silver given by Mr. Gao yet, so the worst that can happen is that they can just return it.
Emperor Jingxuan raised his eyebrows. He had asked Cao Qing to bring the ring over and was playing with it in his hand.
He had seen this ring many times before, but he didn't know what it was made of before. He only knew that it looked a bit like glass, but it was very light and would not easily break if it fell to the ground. The style was also very beautiful.
I never knew what this thing was made of, it turns out it's plastic.
The Queen Mother was still sitting on the edge of the bed. Seeing what he held in his hand, she perked up a little and said with a smile, "This ring is indeed exquisite. Miss Jian is right. It may not be a precious item in the future, but in the Great Qi Dynasty, it is indeed unique. I heard that the Emperor has several of them. How about..."
Emperor Jingxuan stood up and said, "Mother, please have a good rest first. I have things to do. I will come and have dinner with you in the evening."
Queen Mother:? ?
Watching him leave in a hurry, she couldn't help but curse softly, "You ran away so quickly, but you're so stingy that you didn't even want to send the Queen Mother off."
The nanny beside her said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, His Majesty is extremely filial. Whenever he has something good, he always sends it to you. His Majesty will surely find great use for that ring."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother slowly leaned back against the headboard of the bed and sighed softly, "Ever since the sky curtain appeared, the Emperor has been getting busier day by day."
He was either thinking about things or discussing state affairs with officials, and he even went to the harem less often.
The nanny said nothing, but gently tucked the corner of the quilt for the Queen Mother. After the Queen Mother finished her words, she raised her eyes and looked at the sky outside the window again.
Chao Chao was putting the ring on her finger. It felt a little small, but it looked really nice and shiny.
She looked at Jian Yunsang, who said helplessly, "Wear it if you want."
She remembered that two years ago, at the little girl's birthday party, she also wore this kind of ring. She wore more than ten of them and only stopped after filling all her fingers.
I didn't expect that after two years, my preferences are still the same.
Song Zhen also said with a smile, "Anyway, Yuanyuan has given them all to you, so if you like them, just keep them."
Chao Chao shook his head and said, "I'll just pick two more. Two will be enough."
Song Zhen smiled and let her pick from the pile of dazzling little things. She turned to Jian Yunsang and said, "When Chao Chao was taking a nap, your father and the others came over. But when they heard you were resting, they didn't go upstairs to disturb you. I thought they must be tired after the journey, so I asked Nanzhou to take them to the hotel and come back tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I'll call him later." Jian Yunsang nodded.
Chaochao had just chosen the rings and put both on her hands.
Song Zhen asked her which outfit she liked, and Chao Chao pointed to the one she was wearing. Sister Chuchu had also said it looked good, and she thought it was beautiful too.
Song Zhen nodded, "Okay, then wear this one, and keep the rest as spares."
Chaochao changed her clothes and looked down at the ring on her finger. She didn't take it off, which she found very interesting.
After looking at it for a long time, she raised her head and asked, "Mom, you said this ring is made of plastic. We have a lot of plastic nowadays. Where are they?" Why didn't she see it?
"Plastic, there's quite a lot in this room." Jian Yunsang pointed to Chao Chao, "The mineral water bottle Mom brought in earlier was made of plastic. And the bag over there is called a plastic bag. And there's your little washbasin, little bucket, toothpaste tubes, medicine bottles, and the yogurt bottle you drank earlier. There's also the little lampshade by your bed, the little clothes hanger, the light switch, the socket, the casings of the appliances in the kitchen, and your little toys. Oh, and the car that you and brother Yuanyuan disassembled and reassembled a few days ago, most of its body is made of plastic. Even the cars we adults drive have many parts made of plastic."
Chaochao opened his mouth wide, his face full of shock.
“Plastic is awesome.”
Song Zhen laughed out loud, "There are many kinds of plastics, some of which can even be made into clothes."
Chaochao looked down at her clothes. She couldn't imagine it at all.
The people of Daqi in the sky were even more amazed. "What on earth is this plastic? It can be used to make anything?"
"Yes, there are some things that are completely unrelated that can also be made."
Yu Kangsheng was even more excited and said to the Ministry of Industry officials around him, "Did you hear that? You all heard it, right? The car's shell is made of plastic. I finally know, I finally know."
