Chapter 108: Life is a Drama

"The surname is Xie, someone has brought here, you can talk about it, and then it's not about so-and-so." Jiang Bin shouted to Xie Hong, and when Xie Hong nodded yes, he turned to Zhang Daming and said, "Boss Zhang, something has been done, you can convey it on your behalf, take a step first, and say goodbye." ”

Without waiting for Zhang Daming to speak, he walked away with his brothers. Turning the corner, his face changed again, and he commanded mysteriously: "Monkey, you give Lao Tzu to keep an eye on it, and see what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the last Gongzi Xie?" ”

This is called Monkey, who is a scout in the army, and he is very good at stalking, and his brain is also very bright, but after listening to Jiang Bin's instructions, he still didn't turn around, and said suspiciously: "Big brother, aren't we settling grievances with Gongzi Xie?" Why do you have to ......"

"You idiot, what grievances are clear, now we owe others a favor. It's just ......" Jiang Bin gave the monkey a punch casually, and said with a smile: "There must be something strange about this today, aren't you curious?" Lao Tzu is very curious, at least he must understand it, and if he meets him again in the future, he will not be on the way. ”

"Oh, Brother Jiang is really wise." A group of people suddenly realized, and then they became elated, and when the military salary was obtained, everyone was naturally happy. As for what tricks Mr. Xie is doing, anyway, the unlucky ones are those who suck the blood of our soldiers, they deserve it, let's just have fun.

"Go, brothers, please drink, monkey, don't be sluggish, keep your share for you."

Jiang Bin left in a commotion, Xie Hong and Zhang Daming didn't pay attention, although the two had only met once before, but the grudge against each other was not small, and seeing each other at this time was also quite blushing.

"Gongzi Xie, don't come to harm, the person sent by Zhang is rude, I don't know if it frightened Gongzi, if Gongzi is frightened, then Zhang is really sorry." attaches great importance to Xie Hong and Jiang Bin's acting is too similar, Zhang Daming didn't doubt Jiang Bin's words at all, and seeing that Xie Hong was submissive just now, his heart was also extremely happy, and he mocked with a gun and a stick.

"It's okay, it's okay, Commander Jiang is a person with a surname, and it's inevitable that he will be a little rude." Xie Hongyun waved his hand lightly and said, "It's better than those who are dignified on the surface, but there are male thieves and female prostitutes in their stomachs; The clothes on his body look like a dog, but the inside is a mess of chaff, hehe, Boss Zhang, don't you say? ”

"You ......" It's not that Zhang Daming doesn't have a city government, it's just that he was the one who suffered in the previous battles, but Xie Hong's words were very vicious, so he was naturally a little uncontrollable.

"The two of you are not those people in the market, why bother to ask for these tongues, let's get down to business first." Among the people who came with Zhang Daming, some people spoke out to persuade them, saying that they were persuading, but in fact they were ridiculing Xie Hong.

This time, Xie Hong didn't answer, he was observing a few other people. Judging from the temperament, clothing, and marks on the hands and feet, these people were all craftsmen, especially one of them, who was burly and had thick hands and feet, and was obviously a blacksmith. The others Xie Hong just glanced at it, but his eyes stopped at this blacksmith, a little concerned.

However, Xie Hong's demeanor has not changed, but no one has noticed his strange appearance, although the blacksmith is tall, but it is very different from the high-spirited appearance of the other people, just a low-eyed and pleasing appearance, not even raising his head, let alone noticing Xie Hong's gaze.

"This is ......," Xie Hong asked, pretending not to know.

"Hehe, Gongzi Xie, Zhang will introduce you." Zhang Daming's mind turned, and he changed his smiling face again, and said: "This is Master Jin, Master Jin's carving skills are famous in the capital, and the works of that year: Nine Dragons Panyu Cup, even Emperor Xiaozong can't put it down; This is Master Ge, the first violinist in Beijing...... This is Master Mei, who is ...... in the structure of the mechanism."

He introduced them one by one, and those people also smiled and nodded, and the person who spoke first was surnamed Jin, who seemed to have the most reputation, but the others were also the choice of the moment, which was quite extraordinary. Xie Hong sneered slightly in his heart, behind the other party must be Liu Jin's dead eunuch, this preparation is really sufficient. These people alone are fine, but the blacksmith may be in some trouble.

“…… This one, well, is a master blacksmith. Zhang Daming only talked about the blacksmith in the end, and he even forgot the other party's surname, obviously ignoring the other party at all.

"The villain's surname is Lu, and the name is Yu ...... Zhou" Lu blacksmith lowered his eyebrows and reported his name.

"Well, it's Master Lu." Without waiting for Blacksmith Lu to finish speaking, Zhang Daming nodded and said to Xie Hong: "These people are all invited by Zhang from the capital, for today's transaction, Gongzi Xie, if there is nothing else, let us meet the piano." ”

"Well...... this," Xie Hong looked hesitant.

"Could it be that Gongzi Xie is on the piano...... Hehe, so it's inconvenient for us to watch? Zhang Daming sneered, and said in his heart that Xiao Liu's father-in-law is like a god, this kid surnamed Xie is really cunning, if he hadn't invited these famous craftsmen, he would really have been pitted. Now, it depends on how he pushes and shoves?

"Gongzi Xie is a talent, I don't think he will do anything about handicrafts, right? Such a thing is not the work of a gentleman. Several famous craftsmen sneered, and it was Master Jin who made mockery.

"Not really." Xie Hong was not angry, and said with a smile: "It's just that before looking at the goods, you have to negotiate the price, right?" How can there be a reason to take the goods without negotiating a good price? Boss Zhang is also a businessman, so he won't know such a simple truth, right? ”

"The price? ...... for Jiang Bin Isn't it just the price! Zhang Daming was stunned.

"No, didn't Commander Jiang make it clear?" Xie Hong was also stunned, the difference was that he pretended, "Xie just promised to talk, but he didn't say that he would let you move things, right?" Commander Jiang is certainly majestic, but Xie is also an official of the imperial court, so he can't rob it, right? Otherwise, Boss Zhang still asked Commander Jiang to say hello. ”

Zhang Daming recalled it and remembered that what Jiang Bin said was indeed that Xie Hong agreed to negotiate the transfer, but did not say that he would grab the things. It's just that a few of them were happy, and they just thought about Xie Hong's conspiracy and ignored it, what should they do? He was confused.

"Tsk, it seems that Boss Zhang is not sincere, then forget it, Erniu, send off guests!" Xie Hong smashed his mouth, looking very regretful, but Zhang Daming found that there was joy in his eyes.

"Great!" As soon as the big black man went forward, he was going to drive people away.

"Wait!" How dare Zhang Daming compete with Erniu, this is a fierce man who can win the hungry tiger, and now Xuanfu City is rumored to have another evil in Xuanfu. What's more, some people say that Xie Hong is the reincarnation of Zhuge Kongming, otherwise what is the point of pointing on the day when the evil comes?

"It's Zhang who has heard the errand, Gongzi Xie, please wait a moment, let me wait for a discussion."

"Do you want to discuss? Forget it, Xie didn't want to sell it in the first place. Xie Hong frowned, looking very embarrassed.

"The gentleman said, since Gongzi Xie agreed to Commander Jiang, he should keep his promise, otherwise Commander Jiang will not look good." Zhang Daming hurriedly carried Jiang Bin out, he was afraid of being stunned, he was afraid of dying, and the wicked still needed the wicked to grind.

"Okay then," Xie Hong rubbed his brows and said reluctantly: "Then let you discuss for a while, but Xie can only wait for a quarter of an hour, and he will not wait." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say...... Zhang Daming and his group retreated far away and discussed, except for a few followers, only the blacksmith Lu stayed.

"Master Lu, won't you go over and discuss? Didn't you come from the capital together? Xie Hong cares about this person the most, and he is also happy to see that he is not taken seriously.

"Mr. Lao asked, Zai Xia is just a blacksmith, doing rough work, where can he compare with a few masters......" Blacksmith Lu looked honest and honest, and he spoke in a low voice. After explaining a few words, Xie Hong also understood that there were also ranks among the craftsmen, and those few people were all doing fine work, often going in and out of the wealthy compounds, and their status was relatively high.

The blacksmith is the lowest level of the craftsman, which is related to the environment in which they work, and also related to the things they do.

Xie Hongyi frowned, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, no wonder the Ming Dynasty began to lead the West so much, but by the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was a mess.

You know, in later generations, the output and quality of steel is an important measure of the level of armaments, and now no one pays attention to it at all, how can such a practice strengthen the country and the army? Uncle Zeng is right, on this issue, there is indeed an urgent need for change.

However, Xie Hong thought about it, this is okay, the change is not an overnight thing, you can take it slowly. And today, since they don't pay attention to blacksmiths, there will be no surprises.

"Gongzi Xie, since this is the case, then please make a price, as long as there is no problem with the goods, the matter of silver money is easy to discuss." Zhang Daming and the others had already finished discussing, and they sent someone back to ask for instructions, and the reply they got was similar to what he said. And I also doubt whether Xie Hong is weak after seeing a few famous craftsmen, so he is looking for this kind of excuse.

You know, unlike the blacksmith who made up the numbers, these masters are all famous figures in the capital, and it is difficult for idlers to meet each other, and if they want to play tricks in front of them, hehe, it will be difficult.

In the case of that Master Mei, he had studied the pagoda where Xie Hong deceived Imperial Doctor Gu last time, of course, it was repaired, and it was all fragments before the restoration, and no one could figure it out. And after Master Mei researched, he also found the central organ set up by Xie Hong, although he was also amazed by Xie Hong's craftsmanship, but such a small means could not hide from him.

And Master Ge is proficient in music theory, Master Jin is proficient in all kinds of wood materials, and there are a few others, hum, Zhang Daming is very proud, no matter what kind of tricks Xie Hong has, it is impossible to hide it.

"Boss Zhang is really happy, okay, let me calculate first......" Xie Hong turned around and entered the teahouse, and after a while, he took out an abacus again, frowned, and crackled.

Zhang Daming had also worked as an account clerk, but at this time, it was clear that Xie Hong's fingering was wrong, and he wanted to laugh at it. But when his heart moved, when he turned his head to look at a few famous craftsmen, he saw that those people also nodded slightly, and he was cheerful in his heart, it turned out that this kid surnamed Xie was afraid, and he was delaying time here, probably to relieve his hands and feet.

So he didn't rush and let Xie Hong act there. Getting the piano is the first place, although there are a few famous craftsmen to help, but it is difficult to guarantee that in case, if the boy surnamed Xie knows each other, it will save trouble.

After a long while, Xie Hong raised his head, sighed and said, "Boss Zhang, otherwise forget about it, the cost of this piano is too high, Xie is afraid you can't afford it." ”

"How much?" Zhang Daming coldly spat out two words from between his teeth.

"The material is...... Artificial is ...... And ......" Xie Hong began to settle accounts again.

"Gongzi Xie, a manly husband, this little thing can be said in one word, why bother to be such a daughter." Zhang Daming is very impatient, who can't see what you are doing, Lao Tzu is an old man, these tricks are on.

"Okay, since that's the case, Xie Mou said bluntly, fifty thousand taels, if Boss Zhang is too expensive, then ......" Xie Hong spread his hands and expressed helplessness.

"It's not expensive!" Zhang Daming was vomiting blood in his heart, gritted his teeth and said: "Fifty thousand taels, as long as the piano is fine, it's decided!" ”
