"Young master, the target has come out of the community. ”

"Keep up. Also, find out who he went to meet and must hand over to me by Monday. ”

……

"Master, the target got on the bus. ”

"The bus? ”

……

After Zhong Yue came out of Gu's house, he carried the leather box to Dexuanzhai.

Pang Jun here, the goods were cut off for some days before, and when the supply was later, it was already a shotgun for a cannon.

"Zhong Yue!"

"Brother Pang, don't come unharmed. ”

Pang Jun saw Zhong Yue, who had completely changed his appearance, and said, "Distinguished guest, take a seat." ”

"Don't do that. ”

"Haha, boy, it's really you, it's only been a lot of work, in just half a year, it's actually a big battle, no wonder you didn't partner with me in the first place. ”

Zhong Yue put the leather box on the table, "Reminisce about the past, and you will have to take care of your business later." ”

"You've taken good care of my little shop. If you want to say that you have this ink, I really don't have to say it, no wonder I recently heard that Cao Gongsu is going to return to Huizhou, and the status of the eldest brother in the ink industry is not guaranteed, so he is here to find a place. Come, drink tea. ”

Zhong Yue said with a smile: "If you are looking for a field, you should fight with real knives and guns in Shanghai, and the Cao family will return to Huizhou, and it is already willing to bow down." ”

"Amazing. Tea instead of wine, toast you. ”

"Zhong Yue, I heard a few old-timers in the industry say, have you closed your pen?

Zhong Yue opened the leather case and said, "For the time being, as for when to pick up the pen again, you have to wait for the opportunity." I'm here to find Brother Pang to frame a picture. There are not many reliable hand-framed places in Huizhou now. ”

"It's not nonsense, I have less and less work to do it here, there is a machine framing to save time and effort, the key is that this craft is too demanding, a year or two of apprentices, can't learn at all, and now people are very impetuous. ”

Zhong Yue took out the paper tube for the painting and asked, "Brother Pang, you and I are also old friends, and I have never asked you." What are the advantages of this hand-mounted compared to machine framing? I see that those machine-mounted ones are also very smooth and thoughtful. ”

Pang Jun smiled: "You, you don't know the other. Of course, it's hand-framed. This handwork, thickening is made of rice paper, and the gluing is paste, which can be repeatedly unveiled and framed, without hurting the heart of the painting, but this machine is framed, and all of them are industrial paper and glue. If people who know a little bit of the way value the work, they will be framed. ”

"Then can't the machine use rice paper and paste?"

Pang Jun smiled: "You layman, what kind of fun." Eh, I'm glad that machines can completely replace manual work. How much is it worth to hand-frame? 200 yuan per square foot, think about it, what do I want? Show me, what kind of masterpiece do you want me to frame this time?"

Zhong Yue had already rolled up the newspaper and handed the two-square-foot painting to Pang Jun.

"Yo, this is a picture of a lady with a pen, eh, no. At first glance, Pang Jun thought it was the ancient painting that Zhong Yue had bought, but when he looked at the content inside, the woman in the painting was clearly playing the piano, this must be a modern painting, "The woman in this painting is strange, how do you seem to have seen it somewhere." ”

Zhong Yue smiled: "Sensei guessed." Help me frame the painting, by hand. I'll get it later. ”

"Well, you can pick out the decorative brocade. ”

Zhong Yue chose a very elegant and simple light blue brocade, and after explaining a few words to Pang Jun, he went out of Dexuanzhai.

Twenty meters away from Dexuanzhai, under the street tree, a person came out of a black car, and it was Cao Xilan, "Continue to follow." ”

He glanced at Dexuanzhai's signboard and sneered: "I'm afraid that you won't move, and finally find a flaw." ”

As a competitor, Cao Xilan began to investigate a little lacquer as early as Shanghai. Ink making is nothing more than the three keys of process, raw materials and formula. The first two things are easy to do with Ouyang International's financial resources, but the formula is very rare to find one that is not only suitable for modern production but also can show the ancient charm of ink ingots to the fullest.

Although the entire family business of the Cao family has moved out of Huizhou, there is still an office in Huizhou, and people are specially sent to search for Gumo's recipes.

And a little lacquer can actually release two new products in a short period of time, and Zhong Yue from Huizhou is naturally the most suspicious object. This time, Cao Morong used the Huimo inheritance as bait, and the plan was very big.

He walked down the driveway and stepped into Dexuanzhai.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Pang Jun, who had received the painting, smiled and said, "I'm sorry, the shop is not open yet." ”

Cao Xilan smiled and said, "What's the matter?

"Where. If you buy some stationery utensils, you can do it yourself. Framing and the like, you have to wait until after the tenth day of the first month. ”

"Do you have ink for sale here?"

Pang Jun said with a smile: "Look at what you said, in our study in Huizhou, there are all kinds of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. If Huizhou doesn't sell ink, there will be no ink to sell in the world. ”

Although this is arrogant, but if you don't blow it, you can't say anything black, and Hui Mo occupies half of the ink industry, and it's not too much to cover the sky with one hand.

"I heard that you have a good kind of ink ingot here, and there is no gold engraving around the body, but?" From the information collected before, Cao Xilan knew that before a little lacquer gold bottle series was launched, there were a batch of high-quality ink ingots in Huizhou's ink industry circle, but there was no logo.

"Not bad. However, this batch of ink ingots has long been sold out, you can try this gold bottle series with a little lacquer, and it will feel the same. ”

Cao Xilan smiled: "No, I just want that batch of unmarked ones." ”

"That's really embarrassing, it's really out of stock, and it may be out of stock. Pang Jun smiled bitterly. Of course, he knew that the batch of goods given by Zhong Yue at the beginning was now a little lacquered gold bottle series that has been gorgeously transformed, no matter from the point of view of ink color, ink fragrance and luster, it is concocted in the same way, but he is the person who has used this batch of ink for the longest time, and he can feel it subtly, the original batch of ink ingots without logo, the process is so higher than that of today's lacquered gold bottle series, it is no wonder that although the gold bottle series is popular, there are still many old buyers to him, seeking the ancient ink without a logo.

"That's right...... That's a shame. ”

Pang Jun rubbed his hands, "What else do you need?"

It's the New Year's Festival, if Zhong Yue hadn't called in advance, he would still be resting at home at this time, doing more and doing less, it doesn't matter if it's bad or not.

Cao Xilan looked into Pang Jun's eyes and asked, "Can I meet the master who made that batch of ink?"

Pang Jun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Sorry, this is a trade secret." ”

Cao Xilan asked sideways, not to find the remnants of the batch of ink, but to know who the ink came from. For fear of startling the snake, he didn't ask too naked, so as not to be seen by Pang Jun, and smiled, "Okay, get me a little lacquered gold bottle series." ”
