34. Chapter XXXIV
The people of the Su family soon saw Song Qingyi as well.
The head of the Su family is the same generation as Master Song, and Song Qingyi is going to come forward to greet him, whether he is a junior or a guest at the glass craftsman's table.
"Uncle Shi." Although the relationship between the Su family and the Song family is not harmonious, there are only a few world-famous Liuli families in the Jin Dynasty, and they can also be called world friends, so Song Qingyi's uncle is also considered to be etiquette.
"I heard that my nephew has recently started to study family business? This is very good, people like us pay the most attention to a heritage, always think about what are those unrealistic, you are also old, don't let your father worry. "The head of the Su family and Master Song used to be classmates, and the family business inherited by the two of them in the academy that they left in the same year has always been compared with each other, and each has its own winners and losers. Until it became a family, the glass of the Song family was more famous than the Su family, and since then, the head of the Su family has gradually been unable to compare with Master Song.
It's just that the only thing he is proud of Master Shang Song is that he has three sons-in-law, each of whom inherits his mantle, loves each other, and does his best for the Su family. And the Song family, as we all know, has only one son-in-law, Song Qingyi, and he is still a young master who is bent on seeking fame.
At this point, Master Su consciously is far better than Master Song. Every time, he can make Master Song's face darken, and then he can enjoy himself.
It's a pity that now this eldest young master has opened his mind, but the industry of glass is a craft that has been precipitated over time for a long time. Even if he looks back now, Song Qingyi is already an adult, and now he has to learn to manage the family business, how can he be as distracted as he was when he was young.
At most, you can mix skills and manage the family business in peace.
Therefore, the head of the Su family did not have any psychological burden at all, and taught Song Qingyi a lesson.
And Song Qingyi was in a good mood at this moment, smiling no matter what he heard. Even if the head of the Su family insinuated that he didn't do a good job before, he can't afford the family business now.
This concentration alone made the head of the Su family look at it a little differently.
"The old man will go over first, and the nephew can talk to you a few more brothers." I caught a glimpse that the people in the pergola in front of the venue had already arrived, and Master Song didn't know what to talk about in the crowd, and he looked energetic. Master Su snorted, leaving a few young masters of the Su family to socialize with Song Qingyi.
Song Qingyi sent a small servant to guide the head of the Su family, but he was also waved away. Looking at the direction in which the head of the Su family was going, Song Qingyi had to turn around and go to accompany Su Xi and the others.
"Brother Su Shi, I heard that you have recently found a supreme craftsman?" Song Qingyi looked at Su Xi with a smile. Although it is rumored that the Su family has recruited a top craftsman, the people who should know in this industry already know that person was found by Su Xi, the third young man of the Su family.
And Song Qingyi knew even more that that person was not only found by Su Xi, but also had a holiday with Su He, the eldest and youngest of the Su family.
Sure enough, as soon as Song Qingyi's voice fell, the faces of the eldest and second young men of the Su family were a little bad. As for Su Xi, he chuckled twice and said a little shyly: "It's just my luck." ”
Song Qingyi smiled slightly, and didn't say anything more, but the Su family Dashao came back to look at the busy but orderly scene around him, and nodded to him: "It seems that Song Dashao really has the demeanor of Master Song, and he took care of it decently the first time he set foot in the glaze craftsman's seat." ”
"Where, most of them are still taught by my father, and I am just learning."
Regarding Su Dashao's practice of intercepting the topic with one sentence, Song Qingyi is naturally very cooperative, the three young masters of the Su family, Su Xi is from the steproom, and the Su family's eldest and second young are naturally hostile, so he is naturally happy to see them infighting.
In fact, if it weren't for the infighting of the Su family, Su Xi would not have taken the sword to harm his Song family. Song Qingyi narrowed his eyes and continued to laugh and talk a few words before instructing a small servant to show them the way.
Song Qingyi, who turned around, looked at the hour, it was only half an hour before the start of the craftsman's seat, and the people who should have arrived were almost there, and Song Qingyi, as the person who welcomed the guests, could retire successfully.
"Young master, the thing you asked the little one to pay attention to, the little one made people stare at it, and it was really like you said, I found several reasons to leave the venue." As soon as Song Qingyi walked into the venue, Hua Jue quickly followed and whispered back again.
What Hua Jue said was explained by Song Qingyi more than a month earlier, at that time, there were not many people around him, and the four little guys he trusted were all sent out by him in turn, so although several people didn't know Song Qingyi's intentions, they all knew about this matter.
It wasn't until today that they finally understood their young master's intentions.
Song Qingyi asked them to track down several craftsmen from the Song family who participated in the craftsman's banquet. To be able to represent a family to participate in the craftsman's banquet, they are basically craftsmen who have been raised by the family for generations, with high loyalty and clean net worth. But there are exceptions, Hua Jue and the person they found is. This craftsman's name is Song Daqi, he is the domestic craftsman of the Song family, and he has been working hard in the Song family's glaze factory, and his technology is naturally second to none, so he will be recommended by the craftsman as the craftsman who participates in the craftsman's seat.
It's just a pity that with Hua Jue's investigation, they found that this person is silent on weekdays, but he is a little good at gambling in private. This was nothing, but unfortunately half a year ago he was led to a small gambling house, and he successively lost most of his life savings, and finally owed a large amount of debt, which led him to betray the master.
Song Qingyi nodded, "Delay it a little longer, and let him go in the last quarter of an hour." "Because the previous life was such a craftsman, he disappeared temporarily, and the craftsman who replaced him found that the glass mother brought on the field was not enough. The permeability of the glass fired in the end was extremely poor, and it was no longer crystalline, and finally the Song family had no chance to make a craftsman's seat.
Therefore, when Song Qingyi was reborn, he began to investigate this craftsman, and even used the excuse of learning to pick up a craftsman from the glaze factory on the outskirts of the city, as well as a sufficient amount of glaze mother.
He wanted to let the betrayed craftsman go at the last minute, so that the people behind the scenes of this matter could let their guard down. As for Song Daqi who was released, he had already taken care of the official mansion, so naturally there were officials waiting for him outside!
Before the start of the craftsman's table, there is a ritual of sacrificing the furnace, three sacrifices and five grains, and thanking the god of fire, and finally these will be put into the two flat kilns of the new base, and then with the fierce flames rushing out of the furnace door, the battle for the craftsman's seat will officially begin.
Because the Song family is the craftsman of the previous session, they will not come on the field to accept the challenge until the competition of the families.
Judging from the current record, the Su family is really as rumored to be, only half of the six-color glass is broken, although some of the color is not good, and some colors are blurred, but they have also swept away other families, enough to stay until the end.
Song Qingyi was on the viewing platform, holding his chin and looking at the smiling face of the head of the Su family, and his eyes swept over the craftsman in the team of Su family's craftsmen whose face was covered with birthmarks. That is the biggest hero of the Su family's six-color glaze this time, it is said that this person took an ancestral recipe to vote for the three young men of the Su family.
Pinching his fingers, Song Qingyi also smiled happily.
The last to come to the stage was the Song family craftsman, at this time Song Daqi was no longer in the team, Song Qingyi squinted his eyes and stood up from his position. Father Song raised his hand, and Song Qingyi sat down again. Squinted and swept for a week.
Unexpectedly, I saw Su San's smiling eyes. When he met Song Qingyi's gaze, he also made a questioning expression.
Song Qingyi sneered, and another craftsman came out of the Song family to join the team.
The craftsmen of the Song family on the edge of the flat kiln began to be busy in an orderly manner, and it took a lot of time to burn even a small piece of the kiln, and the Song family was the last, so it was already early at this time. However, a large number of torches were lit at the venue, and the fire of the flat kiln also illuminated the surroundings, and the people around were also in high spirits, as if it were daytime.
The craftsmen standing in front of the flat kiln complete the final process, remove the mold that has been burned to the core, and the skilled craftsman unravels the mold in a few clicks, revealing the extraordinary beauty of the beads inside.
This time, the Song craftsmen burned the simplest dragonfly eyes, and the finished products could finally be used to inlay jewelry or perforated to make necklaces.
Dragonfly eyes are the longest and simplest of the glass pieces. But because it has been circulated for the longest time and the process is the simplest, it is a kind of glazed piece with the highest frequency of use and the most test of the craftsman's technology.
It is precisely because of the long circulation that the basic dragonfly eye style has become a fixed pattern, and the mother bead is inlaid with concentric circles, forming the characteristics of the eye layer by layer, and it has rarely jumped out of this style for thousands of years.
However, the dragonfly eyes of the Song family this time have some changes, and there are six protrusions in each direction in addition to the layers of gradient color circles, which are staggered, and each bulge is a layer of gradient color concentric circles. At a cursory glance, these dragonfly eyes look like cute lion heads.
The color of the layer by layer is brilliant, from gradient to concentric circles, a full six layers of color, blue, reflecting green, green, autumn yellow, goose yellow, white, it looks elegant and chic.
Song Qingyi looked at Su Xi's face and changed suddenly.

"Master, let's rest early with some supper, the two cooks sent by the old lady have very good skills, and I feel fragrant from afar." Lingbao came in with a small food box, and he couldn't hold back his voice when he was so lively that he spoke.
Also coming in was Si Nian, who was obviously holding a soup cup in his hand.
Qi Runyun put down the book in his hand, looked at the sky outside, and wanted to get up, but he didn't expect Lingbao and Si Nian to quickly set up a small table next to the bed, planning to serve him like this.
"No, I'll just get up." Qi Runyun didn't expect that his treatment would be improved like this all of a sudden, not only did Mrs. Song send a cook to take care of his three meals, but Master Song also rewarded two stewards to help him take care of the shop, for fear that he would be tired. Even Song Qingyi increased the number of people who served him.
After a few sips, Qi Runyun saw that Lingbao was vigorously giving him vegetables, and he didn't even say anything about the gossip and rumors that Ping Suri had been chanting, so he had to ask, "Who went to see today's craftsman's seat." "It's this hour, and it's almost time to end.
"Today, we are very happy in Cheng Moxuan, and it is too late for the small ones to gather around the master, who has the heart to see the craftsman's seat." Lingbao said strangely.
Qi Runyun glanced at him, and finally said, "Go outside and ask how the situation is." ”
Before the words fell, there was a sudden laughter outside the door: "Madame is so concerned, she should come and ask my father-in-law!" ”
