Chapter 514: Inside Story

"Li Shao, this is it. In a dilapidated alley near the Yanjing Liuli Factory, Zheng Yi led Li Han to a courtyard house.

Zhang Siyuan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, looked at this alley carefully, Zhang Siyuan did not expect that Zheng Yi's home was here. Yanjing Glass Factory, people who don't know think it is a factory that produces glass utensils. But those who know know that this is the largest antique market in Yanjing. Real or fake, it's full of all sorts of things, and some people may be able to buy a priceless antique, or someone may be able to buy a fake for a lot of money.

However, this has little to do with Zhang Siyuan and others, what Zhang Siyuan thinks is that Zheng Yi is already a billionaire before he knows it. That's right, although the alley is very dilapidated now, and the people who live in it are basically working-class. But in another ten years, any set of yards here will be sold at a sky-high price.

Of course, Zhang Siyuan didn't say these things at this time, and was only going to take the time to explain to Zheng Yi that no matter what, don't sell the house here. If you really want to make a move, you have to wait until ten years later, so that the greatest benefit can be guaranteed. At this time, Zhang Siyuan, who was in a wheelchair, was still thinking about the master described by Zheng Yi.

Originally, Zhang Siyuan was not going to come with them, but under Li Han's prodding, Zhang Siyuan followed. According to what Li Han said, with the current development speed of Zhang Siyuan's company, there will be no shortage of attendees on various occasions in the future. At that time, the requirements for clothes will also be very high, and you can't wear those popular clothes like those ordinary people. It is better to take a look at the master's craftsmanship, if the craftsmanship is really good, then it is better to hire the master as his personal tailor, specializing in sewing all kinds of clothes for him.

After all, the ancestors relied on this craft to eat the emperor's grain, if the previous dynasty had not perished, the master should still be making clothes for the royal family at this time, so that the master would specialize in making clothes, and the treatment would be the same as the previous Yellow Emperor. Zhang Siyuan thought that this was not wrong, so he followed behind.

Zheng Yi, who was walking in front, didn't knock on the door, and walked directly into the courtyard and shouted, "Is Old Man Bai there?"

It's not that Zheng Yi didn't knock on the door, but the door of the courtyard didn't close. In addition, they are all familiar with the neighbors, and they are not so familiar. At least according to Zheng Yi's words, he grew up watching the master, so there is no need to worry so much.

Ye Wudao and Li Han, who were walking behind, moved Zhang Siyuan into the courtyard with a wheelchair, and there was no one in the courtyard, Zheng Yi shouted again: "Is the old man there?"

"Who?" said a voice at the door of the courtyard.

Zhang Siyuan turned around and saw an old man standing at the gate of the courtyard, with gray hair and a pair of reading glasses, standing at the gate of the courtyard looking at several of them.

Zheng Yi, who was blocked by Li Han and others, also saw the old man, and said with a smile: "Old man, these are my friends, and they have to do a happy event recently, and they lack a set of clothes. When I heard that, I remembered that the other day my dad said you wanted to pick up your craft again, so I thought I'd take them to see it. ”

After seeing Zheng Yi, the old man standing at the gate of the courtyard also loosened his face, and asked with some surprise: "Little Zhengzi, I haven't decided whether to pick up the craft or not, so you brought someone here, what if I don't want to do it?" ”

Hearing the old man say this, Zheng Yi didn't show any other expression, and still said with a smile: "Old man, don't be joking. If you don't make a decision, there's going to be a lot of rumors. Let me tell you, my friend is really in a hurry, otherwise I wouldn't have brought him to you. Even if you don't plan to go back out on the mountain, you'll have to help me get this outfit done. I made a package ticket in front of my friends, so you can't let me lose face in front of my friends. You've grown up watching me bare-assed, so you can't die without help. ”

Before coming, Zheng Yi discussed with Li Han and the others, and only told the master that they were his friends, not to mention that they came specifically to make clothes. According to Zheng Yi, the master's temper is a little bad, and it will not be good if the master is unwilling to do it because they say the wrong thing. So from the beginning to the present, it is Zheng Yi who is speaking.

For Li Han, the main reason for coming here is to see if the master in Zheng Yi's mouth really has such good craftsmanship, and Li Han has not yet considered whether he really wants to make a suit here. He had already told Old Man Li about this last night, and Old Man Li was already helping him make arrangements. Regardless of whether it can be done here or not, there will definitely be a few sets of other places to make for him to choose.

When the master heard Zheng Yi say this, he looked Zhang Siyuan up and down for a few moments, then looked at Li Han and asked, "Are you going to make clothes?"

Li Han asked with some surprise, "How can the old man see that I am going to make clothes?"

The old master said with some contempt: "Xiao Zhengzi doesn't need to make clothes, that kid is in a wheelchair, and he doesn't need to be particular about clothes." The one next to me looks like a follower, and you're the only one left. And the joy on your face can be seen, Xiao Zhengzi also said that there is a happy event, isn't it you or me?"

Although the words spoken by the master were not very good, Zhang Siyuan still expressed admiration for the master's eyes. You can distinguish the priority at once, and the phrase "people are old and fine" is really not a joke.

Zheng Yi also knew the temper of the old master, and was afraid that the old master's unpleasant words would make Li Han and the others angry, so he hurriedly took over the conversation: "Old man, it is indeed this little brother who wants to make clothes." He was about to get engaged, and then he was going to take wedding photos, and we didn't see a suitable suit for a day outside yesterday, and then we thought about finding someone to make clothes, and then I thought of you all of a sudden, so I brought someone to you. ”

The old master looked at Zheng Yi, then at Li Han, and suddenly sighed: "Since you have said so, I will continue this errand." But Xiao Zhengzi, this is the first time I've made a suit, and I don't know what it looks like. Not to mention anything else, if I am not satisfied with the production, I will not take out the clothes, and the money will still be given. ”

"Okay, okay, okay. Old man, I believe in your craftsmanship, this thing, I will find you some photos when the time comes, and you will know. It's not much different from a tunic, I'm sure you can make it. When Zheng Yi heard the old master say that, he didn't ask Li Han's opinion, so he agreed directly.

Hearing Zheng Yi's promise, the old master glanced at Li Han: "You follow me into the house." ”

After the master took Li Han into the room on the left, Zheng Yi explained to Zhang Siyuan: "Mr. Zhang, you know, my family has always worked in the back kitchen of Quanjude. I have been neighbors with my great-grandfather's family since my great-grandfather's generation, and the relationship between the two families has always been very good. The clothes we had at that time were all made for us by the old man, and at that time, because my family was in Quanjude, I could often bring some rare things back to the old man's house to eat. This is how the relationship between the two families ends, so I'm not afraid that the old man won't take this job. But I can't guarantee what kind of clothes the old man can make. ”

Zhang Siyuan asked with some doubts: "Brother Zheng, with my understanding of you, you shouldn't be the one who does such an uncertain thing, why do you have to bring Brother Li here to make clothes?"

Zheng Yi shook his head and sighed: "If it weren't for the accident in the old man's family a few months ago, if it weren't for that incident, the old man would definitely not be willing to come out again and rely on his craft to make a living." In this world, it is becoming more and more difficult to mix. With the old man's arrogant character, he must not want to go to the street to make clothes for people casually. ”

"Change?" Zhang Siyuan, who was in a wheelchair, looked at Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi nodded, sat on the stone chair in the courtyard, glanced at the room where Li Han and the others were, and then said, "A few months ago, the old man's son and daughter-in-law had a car accident. The perpetrator ran away directly, and no one has been caught so far. Now the two of them are still lying in the hospital, and the two of them are the source of income for the family. We have already helped everything we can, but we can only help so much, and the granddaughter of the old man has also dropped out of school and is now working outside. With the salary of the old man's grandchildren, it is not enough to pay for her parents' medical expenses, so the old man will have the intention of restarting his craft. ”

Hearing Zheng Yi say this, Zhang Siyuan knew that the master's son and daughter-in-law were definitely not ordinary disabilities, otherwise they would not still be in the hospital after a few months. Although the current hospital does not have the high fees of later generations, it is certainly not something that ordinary families can stay in all the time.

However, Zhang Siyuan still asked, "How is the old man's son and daughter-in-law?"

"The son is vegetative, and the daughter-in-law is paralyzed. Zheng Yi had a sad expression on his face, he had been playing behind the buttocks of his master's son since he was a child, and he had always been very small. Now that something like this has happened, of course he is also sad. The perpetrator ran away and couldn't find anyone at all. That means that all the expenses can only be borne by the master and the little granddaughter, which is a sad thing.

Zhang Siyuan showed such an expression, which is not surprising. The old man's daughter-in-law is better, but the old man's son is completely bottomless and can only stay in the hospital all the time. To put it mildly, if the master's son and daughter-in-law left because of a car accident, it would have been forgotten, but they still survived. As a relative, the master must be unwilling to give up his son and daughter-in-law, so he can only let them stay in the hospital first, and try to make money to treat them.

At this time, a female voice came from the gate of the courtyard: "Who are you?"
