Chapter 151: Wood Outsider and Ding Lao
When he came to the ticket booth, Dong Ce saw at a glance that the outside of the ticket booth was full of people, and suddenly he felt that one head was two big!
"Hey, Dong Yilang is here!"
"Master Dong, you're finally out!"
"Oh, Master Dong, you have a new play, why don't you notify me first? I have long been obsessed with the Three Kingdoms, and even wrote a book of the Three Kingdoms by myself, I wanted to use it to give Master Dong some pointers, but I never thought that Master Dong had already written a script, just watching the first two times made Zai Bai feel ashamed, burned everything he had written before, and vowed to rewrite a masterpiece, and I hope Master Dong will be gracious! One vote, one vote! ”
Dong Ce was embarrassed, this guy said it too bluntly, obviously he wanted to write the opera as a book to make money from it, and he said it so impassionedly, he was even more shameless than himself!
"There are no rules, there is no circle, if you want to watch the play, buy tickets first, as for those who didn't buy it, there is nothing Dong can do, but you can rest assured, after the one hundred and twenty performances of the Three Kingdoms are completed, they will be re-enacted from the beginning, and now you can't see it, you can wait for the next time!"
Dong Ce's words are equivalent to saying in vain, who doesn't know now, you are purely harming people! Once in one night, one hundred and twenty times, those four months have passed, and whether there is a ticket at that time is another matter!
Ignoring the noisy guests, Dong Ce walked up to a middle-aged Confucian and said with a smile: "The carpenter is here again!" ”
"Hehe, Dong Yilang is a busy man!" Mu Yuanwai smiled, and then got straight to the point: "Mu didn't want to disturb Dong Yilang, but my old friend rarely returns to his hometown for the New Year, and he doesn't have any hobbies on weekdays." I like to watch dramas and listen to music, and I just learned about our Jinling Art Garden drama. I wanted to come and see it, but I seemed to be afraid of regrets! "Say it. The carpenter swept the excited crowd on the side who were stopped by Zhou Cong's people.
Dong Ce looked at the slightly rickety old man beside the wooden member, this old man had a white face and beard, and looked like he was only about fifty, but he was gray-haired, but he was meticulously combed into a bun, wearing a gold and jade crown, and he looked extraordinary, and he was dressed in black and blue satin embroidered with cumbersome gold flowers, and the workmanship was exquisite. At first glance, you can tell that it is expensive.
And Dong Ce, who is mixed in all walks of life, can't even see where this fabric comes from, you know, silk is the best in Jiangnan, the most dyeing and embroidery workshops, and the most exquisite workmanship, but it is obviously worse than what the old man wears, especially the cumbersome embroidery, even if the embroidery girl with the fastest embroidery speed can't embroider the old man's body for a year!
Enough to see. The status of this man is extraordinary!
Dong Ce immediately said to the old man: "Under Dong Ce, dare to ask the old gentleman's name?" ”
"Hehe, the old man's name is really hard to reveal, Dong Yilang can call me Ding Lao at will." The old man smiled lightly.
"It turned out to be Ding Lao. Mr. Ding used to be from Jinling? Dong Ce said, and then made a gesture to invite Mu Yuanwai and Ding Lao to walk into the garden.
The two men didn't want to stay here for long, so they nodded. followed Dong Ce to the teahouse, and on the way, Ding Lao smiled: "Speaking of which." The old man can only be regarded as half of Jinling, and the old man's ancestral home is in Huzhou. However, I grew up in Jinling since I was a child, but I haven't been back for many years! ”
"Hehe, the last time Ding Lao went back to Jinling, it seems to be twelve years ago!" The carpenter said with a smile.
Ding Lao seemed to be very respectful to the carpenter, and arched his hand before speaking, and said with a smile: "It's still a good memory of the carpenter, the last time I came, Jinling was overturning the shop, and it was a mess at that time!" Speaking of which, those guys have always been dissatisfied with this matter, thinking that as soon as the Fang City falls, Jiangnan will be in chaos, but if you look at the following years, half of the world's tax revenue has been exhausted from our Jiangdong land, which shows how wise Taizu is! ”
Dong Ce listened to the conversation between the two, and was slightly shocked in his heart, as soon as these two people said that the administration was right and wrong, it can be seen that the identity is not simple!
When he arrived at the tea hall, Dong Ce took out the last bit of tea he treasured and made tea with the freshly fired tea set from his pottery kiln.
Speaking of which, the firing process of this new tea set has long been thoroughly understood by Liu Wan, but the tea leaves of this year are not suitable for the new tea set, and now the style of drinking tea is still used to adding ginger and sprinkling salt, and even some like to put sesame oil, honey and some messy things to cook, so he has to wait for the tea to be produced, and then slowly promote it into a set.
Don't say Ding Lao, even the carpenter is the first time to come to Dong Ce's teahouse, see that the decoration here is elegant and abnormal, simple and fragrant, the color of the wooden couch table fits, the workmanship is beautiful, the calligraphy and paintings on the wall are also very appropriate, and a few strange small trees are placed on several wooden platforms are very eye-catching, which makes the carpenter outside a lot of surprise.
"It's ...... Pine tree? The carpenter looked at a pot of small stones like a mountain, and a small tree like a thousand-year-old pine among the rocks was shocked!
"Well, this is a bonsai, in order to plant this little thing, I spent a lot of effort, just asking people to go to the mountain to find this small pine spent ten taels of silver, and the other fired flower pots, such as mountain stones, etc., have to spend a lot of effort to get it." Dong Ce said with a smile while boiling water.
"It's worth it!" The carpenter said, while bending down to look at the bonsai carefully, he said: "Don't look at this tree is small, but it reveals a majestic posture, and its branches also make people feel vigorous and powerful...... What an envy to me! ”
"If you like it, this pot will be given to you below." Dong Ce said casually.
"What?" Mu Yuanwai looked back at Dong Ce with an incredulous face, and said in surprise: "You want to give it to me?" ”
"The carpenter is an old customer of our art garden, and I'm afraid that the cost of the art street alone is more than a thousand, if I don't say anything more, no one will do this businessman!" Dong Ce smiled bitterly.
After the carpenter determined that Dong Ce really wanted to give this bonsai to him, he was naturally overjoyed, but he didn't forget to ask how to plant this thing well, because he himself likes to plant some flowers and plants at home, and knows that if he doesn't do it, it will be easy to raise it to death!
So Dong Ce told the carpenter how to cultivate bonsai, this thing is also simple, but some pruning and watering problems, the carpenter will hear it, but when he heard Dong Ce finally say that he would change the soil every few years, he was a little uncertain, so he asked for advice, and the result was still a little worried, after all, he loved this thing too much, if he killed it, it seemed to kill him, and finally simply said that when the soil was changed, let Dong Ce start, and he could learn it on the side!
After the two finished speaking, the water also boiled, Dong Ce began to make tea for the two, looking at his skillful movements, as well as the special of the tea set, both of them were a little surprised, and after drinking the first sip of tea, they couldn't help but be surprised, and it was indispensable to ask, and Dong Ce also slowly explained the tea set and new tea, which can be regarded as paving the way for future promotion, of course he was tired of it and patiently explained.
