Liu Lan, who had all this in his eyes, immediately saw her jade hand shake lightly, put away the jade flute, and the indescribable boredom on her face seemed to be that the song did not meet the bosom friend and did not blow, like a mediocre person like him, it was already a great honor to be able to hear the fragment of the bosom friend!

Chicks look down on people, believe it or not, the gentlemen play music for you******! Looking at the chick who looked like she was rejecting people thousands of miles away, although Liu Lan showed a ruffian who didn't know anything in her eyes, Tian walked over shamelessly, and said with a smile, I didn't sleep for a long time, I thought I was the only one who couldn't sleep, it turned out that Jing ...... Girl, you can't sleep, huh?" I wiped it, I actually said that I was bald, but the lines of this big talk about Journey to the West are too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

"Originally, I thought that this barren mountain range, in the middle of the night, there was a sound of Xiao, I thought it was a fox demon, I even brought this demon knife, I didn't want to come here, the little demon was impressed by my righteousness and fled!"

The confidant who heard the sound was exactly the one she didn't want to see shamelessly, but the person was a swordman, Da Qiao still turned around slowly, her face was full of disdain in the light moonlight, and she was embarrassed to say it so loudly regardless of the flute, taking ignorance as knowledgeable, snorting coldly, and said: "The piper just now is no one else, it's me!" ”

Huh-this demon could be Miss Da Qiao, you? The loss of the great immortal has been with you for a few days without finding out, it seems that you have to go back to the mountain to practice for three to five hundred years. Liu Lan walked up to Da Qiao with a smile and said, "I don't know why Miss Qiao didn't sleep so late?" ”

"I don't know why you can't sleep?" Da Qiao glanced at him with disgust and said.

"It's because of you, Miss Da Qiao!"

"Me?" Da Qiao let out a long speech, but he snorted coldly in his heart.

"Not bad!" Liu Lan nodded solemnly, but there were some words that could be pointed. It's not interesting to talk too much. After a moment of conversation, he smiled lewdly and said, "It's you Miss Da Qiao." So late, I was still studying the Xiao method, so tirelessly. I don't give up, I don't want to learn this skill, so that I can blow for my husband in the future, and I can't do it! ”

"Huh, huh?" Da Qiao smiled a little ugly, took out the flute suspiciously, and wanted to break it but failed to break it three times due to his strength. Five thunders in the sky! ”

Damn, how much hatred this chick has with me, don't I just make a joke, and how does she know what a means! Is it because I praised her for blowing well, she won't blow it? Is that if I praise her for being good-looking, she will be disfigured? I have the heart to try, but after thinking about it, forget it, if this chick is really a seed, such a white-faced little beauty will be difficult to find!

Liu Lan ran in the grass for a long time and didn't find the white jade flute, so he walked up to her stupidly, and said regretfully: "Miss Qiao, it's wrong for you to do this." I am about to follow Miss Qiao's decree in Xuzhou that all women must practice blowing and flute skills. In the future, if you get married, you can play and flute for your husband, this is a major event for the benefit of the world, how can Miss Qiao say that if you don't blow it, you won't blow it! ”

Liu Lan's frustrated appearance made Da Qiao more and more shameless. But she would never have imagined that he was like a barometer, and in the blink of an eye he was like no one. He sat down beside her with a big grin and said, "Why don't we play charade!" ”

"Don't play!"

"If you want to play. I can accommodate one of your requests, except for unreasonable requests such as wanting me to harm myself, you can consider it! Liu Lan began to flicker, of course, because he was sure that he would agree.

"Really?" Da Qiao looked at him suspiciously, and made a request to the state pastor, how could she not be moved by such conditions!

"A gentleman's word, a quick horse!"

"But I won't!"

"It's okay, I'll play two first, play a few times and wait for you, and then take turns to come up with the questions?"

"Then you can solve the problem!" Da Qiao let it go.

"Okay, I'll give you a simple one, one person, what is the word?"

"Great!" Da Qiao replied without thinking.

"That's smart, what about the man?" Liu Lan had already smiled like a flower in his heart, but he said it seriously on his face.

Da Qiao thought about it in his heart, but no matter how smart he was, he couldn't guess it, shook his head slightly, and said with some embarrassment: "I don't know? ”

"Huh?" Liu Lan originally wanted to continue to make things difficult, but in vain he found that Zhang Ping had already quietly guarded not far away with a team of white-eared soldiers, and at this moment the kid was constantly winking at himself, since he was here, there was no need to entangle with this chick anymore, and said with a smile: "Forget it, I won't sell it to you, a man Niantai!" ”

Da Qiao was even more puzzled, how could a man be a Taizi?

Liu Lan naturally understood why he was confused, lying on his back on the ground, with a shy face, and said shamelessly and ****: "Look what kind of word this is!" “

"Shameless!" Da Qiao instantly understood, his face was red all the way to his neck, and he ran away like the wind after scolding.

"Aren't you playing?" Liu Lan leaned back with a smile and shouted at her back.

Far away, Liu Lan seemed to hear someone scolding hooligans, looked up and glanced around, but saw Zhang Ping coming over, and said with a calm face: "Zhang Ping, are you molesting that chick?" ”

Zhang Ping's face turned green: "No, no!" "The head is shaking like a rattle.

Liu Lan burst into tears of laughter, how could he not know that the hooligan just now was Da Qiao scolding him, and he was just joking with Zhang Ping, waiting for Da Qiao to go away, he instantly smiled, and asked in a serious voice: "How is it, what's the situation?" ”

"Nothing, isn't the lord too careful?"

"It's better to have more heart than no heart, now I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, if I really have it, it's too late!"

"The last will know what is wrong!"

"You are thoughtful, I know that it would be too much for me to say the same thing, but I always feel that there is a conspiracy here, so let the people behind me be careful not to make mistakes or show any mistakes. Otherwise, if I can't get anything out of such a good big bait, it will really be a laughing stock! ”

After Liu Lan finished speaking, he waved Zhang Ping away, and looked at the three bonfires that Da Qiao had built in front of him. His brow furrowed, and his eyes moved back and forth with the flames in a gloomy manner.

~~~~~~~~~~~

The expected Zhou Yu did not appear. Liu Lan, who was highly nervous, spent a difficult night, and the group went on the road after breakfast on the second day, because of the Qiao sisters and brothers and deliberately delayed the trip in the hope of hooking up with Zhou Yu, so a group of people rushed to Liuxian at noon.

The Qiao sisters and brothers were really hard to swallow the food in the army, and Liu Lan took them and Zhang Ping and Xu Chu into Liuxian County to find a restaurant to have a good meal.

Although he is the pastor of Xuzhou, it is the first time to enter the western frontier town, although there is now a bridgehead of Xiaopei, but the geographical location and importance of the county are still important.

As soon as I entered the central market, I saw an old-fashioned jade workshop standing proudly on the side of the street. Liu Lan's eyes straightened instantly, as if the jade workshop was a hundred times better looking than the chick next to Cao Cao who had been locked in the Tongque Tower in his dreams.

Why?

Originally, there were all kinds of workshops in Xiaopei City, but only one is still empty, or the originally reserved workshop had to be sold out because of the delay in finding a craftsman, and it was this jade workshop that could not invite a craftsman to open a workshop in Xiaopei.

It's not that jade craftsmen are hard to find, but this jade is hard to find, first of all, Xiaopei has no jade supply, what are you doing when you go to Xiaopei to start a workshop? Isn't it possible to go hungry? Rather than that, it's better to stay in your hometown, which is familiar with the way. There are many customers and a wide supply of goods, and they are not afraid of not being able to open the pot and not have enough to eat.

Of course, these are not the inside information that Liu Lan can know, he is only a jade craftsman who is difficult to find. After all, this jade is a profiteering industry, and a piece of jade about the size of a palm can make more than ten jade pendants (not to mention other large jade products), if the jade is in good condition. Such as white jade, single jade or Lantian jade. That value is rare for a thousand dollars.

The jade craftsmen who are engaged in the industry with large profits are scarce, and the so-called apprentices are starved to death of the master. A jade craftsman like this will never teach anyone other than his own son.

Obviously said that he was here to eat, but Liu Lan ran into the jade shop as soon as he slipped away, and Da Qiao didn't give him a good face because of a meat puzzle yesterday, and he didn't even say a word to him again, so he snorted and twisted his head to the side, as for Qiao Ji, he didn't have as much courage as her sister, but he seemed to be talking to himself next to him, and he didn't talk because he said something to Da Qiao.

Xu Chu and Zhang Ping wanted to follow in but were afraid that the Qiao sisters and brothers would slip away, so they brought more than a dozen white-eared soldiers to just guard in front of the store, as if they were surrounded by a jade workshop.

This menacing posture frightened the jade craftsman, with a servile face, and a low-lying appearance, he was afraid that he would offend these masters and copy his small shop.

"This master, I don't know if you want to make jade or buy jade?"

Liu Lan glanced at the jade craftsman who put down the work in his hand to greet him, and saw that he was still holding a production tool in his hand, and the tool turned out to be a bamboo tool, he was amazed, it was amazing to be able to figure out such a wonderful jade with such a primitive tool!

"It's not a big deal, I'm just here to see!" Liu Lan sighed in his heart and then began to look around, the house can be said to be distinct, the back half of the room is the place where the jade craftsman makes jade, messy, the first half is okay, put two wooden shelves and put a few finished products, these finished jade quality is very average, and the shape is always missing a little charm.

Shen Yun, Shen Yun, to put it bluntly, is the so-called finishing touch, and this is also the difference between the master and the jade craftsman, no matter how vivid the jade craftsman carves a piece of jade, but if there is no master to draw the finishing touch, then this jade is undoubtedly the same as the waste, and no one will take a look at it on the street.

The jade craftsman didn't dare to slack off at Liu Lan's side, but after seeing him look around, he frowned, and said busily: "This honored guest, the jade objects placed here are all semi-finished products, if you need it, you can say a figure, we will follow the map and customize it for you!" ”

If Liu Lan hadn't entered Xuzhou, it would have been impossible to say that he would have to tie them up to Xiaopei today, but now that the entire Xuzhou is his, there is no need to go to Chong Xiaopei's jade shop, and there are no extra shops there!

Liu Lan waved his hand and said with a smile: "There's no need to do it, I'm just a little curious about this jade craft, come and see!" ”

The jade craftsman immediately regarded Liu Lan as a thief who came to steal the craft, and he was relieved. And the latter, naturally saw his little Jiujiu, smiled and relieved him, and said: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in being a jade craftsman, just tell me some inside information about jade, as for how to make jade, I'm not interested!" ”

The jade craftsman breathed a sigh of relief, and said with some embarrassment on his face: "I don't know where to start!" ”

The Book of Poetry says that the stones of other mountains can attack jade, is it possible that you can use the bamboo knife in your hand to carve the jade into these vivid objects?

The jade craftsman listened to him open and close his mouth to say the Book of Poetry, and thought that it was for the reader, and it was a great blessing to communicate with the reader: "Haha, this gentleman doesn't know anything, in fact, where are these ingenious jade objects you see on weekdays are carved, they are all made of emery, quartz, garnet and other "jade sand" supplemented by water to grind jade, cut into the designed finished product. ”

"That's how it came!" Liu Lan suddenly realized.

"Yes, in the words of a layman like you, sir, we are carving jade, in our jargon, making jade is not called carving jade, but is called governing jade or jade, grinding jade, grinding jade."

"Oh, I'm alone!" Liu Lan was quite satisfied with this understanding, and said: "By the way, this old brother, do you have enough manpower, do you have any intention of going to Xuzhou City or Xiaopei to open a store?" ”

The jade craftsman didn't know where this came from, but the person who could lead the group of guards outside who were eyeing him was a small person? Said truthfully: "There is a store in Xuzhou, but it is just a small Pei ......"

Seeing that the jade craftsman wanted to speak and stopped, I am afraid that there is something unspeakable, Liu Lan is not reluctant, and said: "I just asked casually, as for whether you go or not, it is secondary, by the way, if you have the intention of going to Xiaopei to open a shop, you can go to find the Taishou of where, called Jian Yong, you just say that Zhen Yan asked you to open a store, and he will take care of you when the time comes!" ”

"Then thank you to this nobleman!"

"You're welcome, you're welcome!" Liu Lan waved his hand, then said goodbye to him, and said, "Then brother, I won't bother, I hope we will meet again?" ”

"Then we will see you again!" The jade craftsman smiled and said.

Coming out of the jade workshop, Liu Lan saw Xu Chu chasing after seeing a person from a distance, which made him nervous immediately, but then saw the two talking happily, it should belong to the kind of scene where they met their old acquaintances in a foreign country, and they were relieved to wait for Xu Chu with a few people outside the jade workshop.

After a while, Xu Chu ran back and forth, blushed, and said embarrassedly: "The lord still has spare money, and my friend is short of money, so he agreed to ...... without losing face." )
