Chapter 471: The Object of the Blame
Hearing Bumblebee's bandits, Qi Xiang instinctively felt that the other party should be the one who stole the door.
Speaking of which, the organization system of theft is really huge, and they can be found everywhere. However, no matter how large the organization is, it is just a plate of scattered sand.
In fact, the thief is only a nominal sect, and in fact, there is no one in charge at all.
Large and small forces, each with its own policy, but it is intertwined. Over the years, it has not been that no one has wanted to unite this force and twist it into a rope to form a huge gang organization.
However, once someone did this, they were suppressed by many people, both openly and secretly.
Because some people who steal doors are dressed in the skin of door thieves on the surface, but they are manipulated in private. That is to say, there are some people, inconvenient to do, need to act under the guise of burglary.
There are so many such things that the burglars gradually become notorious and become the best back-officiants.
Such a good cover, who is willing to throw it away, and who is willing to make it unified?
If you really unify the thieves, won't there be nothing to do with everyone? Therefore, even if he felt that the other party was a thief, Qi Xiang had no fear.
locked the target, and the two didn't talk nonsense, just packed their luggage casually and went straight to the airport.
When I got to the airport, I bought a plane ticket and got on the plane. In about two hours, it landed smoothly.
The southwestern town is no different from the hinterland of the Central Plains.
Maybe some life customs are different, but on the surface, you can't see it. The big city is also a city with high-rise buildings, busy traffic, and all kinds of hustle and bustle.
This is the result of urban development, all kinds of copying, all kinds of copying. All kinds of full reception. So much so that each city does not have its own style, it is a finished product set of templates.
Everywhere you go, it's a familiar landscape, and there's nothing new and interesting. Unlike ancient times, Jiangnan and Jiangbei. The customs are completely different and can be recognized at a glance.
Of course, the template also has the benefits of the template, no need for any brain, just copy it directly, which naturally greatly improves efficiency, saves a lot of time, and can develop at a high speed.
The reason why China has been able to develop into one of the world's top economies in just a few decades. It relies on familiar templates.
So, sometimes, there are some things, the pros and cons are one and the same, and it is difficult to say clearly, whether it is good or bad. At least for Qi Xiang, such a city can be easily integrated in. Don't worry about the language barrier and delay the business.
"Find a place to stay first."
After getting off the plane. You Ziyin suggested: "Then, find someone to inquire about the specific situation." ”
"Okay."
Qi Xiang nodded, turned his head and asked, "Have you been here?" ”
"I've been here two or three times......"
You Ziyin nodded hurriedly: "I also know a few people." ”
"Okay, then you can arrange it."
Qi Xiang doesn't care about the process, only the result.
The airport is on the outskirts and then in the city. It will also take some time.
By the time they arrived in the center of the city by taxi, it was already noon.
Under the guidance of the wanderer, the driver drove the car, bypassed a bustling and lively street, and turned into a secluded alley. Then it slowly stopped.
"It's ......"
The wanderer got out of the car, paid the money, and then greeted: "Big brother, the people I know live here." ”
"It's ......"
Qi Xiang walked down and took a look, and he was also a little surprised.
Because on both sides of the alley, there are small storefronts. Small shops of about 10 square meters are densely packed on both sides of an alley more than 200 meters long.
Dense shops, but there are no signs, and there is even a bit of a messy feeling.
Qi Xiang swept it at a glance, and he could see that all kinds of messy things were piled up at the door and by the wall, making the originally spacious alley half narrow all of a sudden.
If you can place it at will like this, it's definitely not a valuable thing.
In other words, when the work is not finished, it is just rotten wood.
It's really a wood root, not an adjective.
Because of this alley, dozens of shops are all doing the business of root carving. Standing in the middle of the alley, Qi Xiang could hear the sound of electric drills and axes everywhere.
"This is the most famous Gendiao Lane in the city."
At this time, Youziyin pointed with his hand: "My friend, right there, he is also a family of root carvings." More than 100 years ago, the ancestors made a living from root carving, and it has been passed down to the present. ”
"His grandfather, that is the premier root carving master, has many disciples. So, don't look at this alley, there are many shops. In fact, in real terms, it is all their family's property. ”
The wanderer said softly: "So, this alley also has another name, called Caijia Lane!" ”
"Caijiaxiang ......" Qi Xiang nodded slightly: "Your friend's surname is Cai?" ”
"Yes, the surname is Cai, and the single name is a salary word." The wanderer introduced: "The salary of the salary ......"
"Good name."
Qi Xiang's eyes were also a little clear.
Salary, that is, firewood. However, there is more meaning of passing the torch from generation to generation. It is estimated that the master carver also hopes that his grandson can inherit the family business and continue to do the promising work of root carving.
"Let's go over."
The wanderer Yin led: "At this time, he should be there." ”
"His technique, it's pretty good. In the past, some large root carvings were also very marketable in Yueyang, and I often came to receive them. After coming and going, I got to know him. ”
The wanderer talked eloquently: "It's just that in the past two years, there have been more competitors, and the market has gradually become saturated, so I simply gave up this business." ”
"But, privately, we still have a connection."
You Ziyin said softly: "That high-end club, you need to be introduced by acquaintances before you can enter." As far as I know, Cai Xin is a member there, so with his help, this will definitely be a lot easier. ”
"Hmm!"
Qi Xiang naturally understands. After all, they just know that the members of that gang are in this city. But where exactly in the city, he is blinded by two eyes, and there is no clue.
I don't know the place. Naturally, I had to ask for the help of the head snake.
As long as the whereabouts of a member are determined, their nest can be found. At that time, Qi Xiang didn't mind going directly to the door and catching turtles in an urn.
Anyway, he didn't do such a thing.
Speaking of which. This is also learned from Chen Beixue, regardless of whether the matter is caused by a thief, first take the thief's stronghold in a pot, and then slowly investigate. Whoever calls the thief has a bad reputation, and there are many blames, and it is not bad for one or two.
As they spoke, the two of them came to the middle of the alley, in front of a larger store.
This store is relatively clean. There are a lot of roots and wood in the store, but they are relatively neat and orderly. There was no one outside, but there was a slight movement inside.
"It's supposed to be working, let's go in ......"
The wanderer Yin nodded his hand, and then shouted: "Cai Xin, Cai Shao, the guest has come to the door and come out to greet him." ”
“…… Who? ”
A while. Someone lifted the curtain behind the shop and looked at it suspiciously.
At first glance. A smile appeared on the man's face: "Ah, Ah You, when did you come?" Why don't you say hello in advance so I can pick you up at the airport. ”
"It's just here, I know you're busy, so I won't bother you."
The wanderer explained. He pointed at Qi Xiang and said, "This is my friend, he has something to do here, so I will accompany him for a trip." Of course, I'm here. It's not familiar, and there must be something that troubles you. ”
The friendship between the two should not be shallow, so Youziyin is very frank.
At the right time, Qi Xiang also smiled and signaled: "Hello, my name is Qi Xiang, please take care of me." ”
"Well said, well said. Ah You's friend is also my friend. ”
Cai Xin is also a young man, in his twenties, and he looks dignified. Now he is wearing gray overalls, and his cuffs and shoulders are covered with some wood chips, which is similar to that of an ordinary craftsman.
However, people are not to be disguised, and this is what he is talking about.
Walking out like this, it is estimated that not many people know that he is a proper second generation. No, it may be five or six generations, heirlooms, typical technical talents, who made a fortune with one hand.
He was very enthusiastic, and after a few polite words, he reached out and lifted the curtain: "Let's go, go in and talk." Have a cup of tea and talk slowly. ”
Through the curtain of the door, there is a hole in it.
As soon as Qi Xiang entered, he saw that it was a small spacious courtyard, and several rooms were surrounded by the courtyard, forming a courtyard similar to ancient times.
In the corner of the small courtyard, a large tree with lush branches and lush foliage was planted. The trunk is thicker than a bucket and has a well-developed root system, so it is encircled, which is considered a kind of protection.
The sunlight shines through the dense foliage and casts a little spot of light on the ground, which is as beautiful as gold.
However, compared with the big tree, what attracted the attention of Qi Xiang more was a wooden stake under the shade of the tree.
Qi Xiang looked and found that the wooden stake was not so much a wooden stake as it was the root of a big tree.
Because it was a large tree, it had been dug up by the roots, and the bark was cut off, and the tiny roots were cut off, leaving only the thick roots and the trunk within a meter above the roots.
At this moment, this piece of wood has also undergone some axe and chisel carving processes, showing some outlines. It's just that the outline is very shallow, and you can't see the specific appearance of the work.
"Hey, that's good."
You Ziyin glanced at it and said with a smile: "Such a large piece of longan wood, the finished product will cost more than 100,000 yuan, Wishing you prosperity." ”
"200,000, requiring half a month to complete."
Cai Xin waved his hand and said: "The guests are a little demanding, and I originally wanted to ask my grandfather to help, but my grandfather went out for something, and took my father and a few of his master apprentices to attend a seminar or something." ”
"No one took over, and the errand fell to me."
Cai Xin said helplessly: "But you also know, I prefer to create independently, and the most annoying thing is customized products." However, the guest also has some connections, and I have hired a lobbyist that I can't blame. ”
"There's no way, I can't bear it, so I have to agree."
Cai Xin shook his head: "This kind of thing is really annoying sometimes. ”
Qi Xiang smiled and asked casually, "What is engraved?" ”
"Buddha ......"
Cai Xin said casually: "A Buddha statue with three sides and six arms!" ”
It's stuck again, only two more, forgive me. (To be continued......)
