Jiang Zhilian's eyes lit up.

I thought I would have to show it a little longer before I could persuade this cold-faced lame master!

Unexpectedly, just a start, the other party loosened.

If it can be loosened, it means that there is room for turning.

"Tell me what kind of pot you want first, I may not be able to do it." The lame master put the ugliness ahead and didn't leave much hope for the guests.

"It's okay." Jiang Zhilian said heartily: "Whether you can do it or not is fate!" I want some soup pots with a flat base, thicker, and more resistant to burning. I don't know what kind of material to use, so you can help me think about it! I thought of a few styles. ”

The lame master took out a palm-sized notebook from his coat pocket and threw it at the stall, "Do you know how to draw?" ”

Jiang Zhilian nodded, "Yes!" I'll draw it for you. ”

There was a pencil in the notebook, Jiang Zhilian turned directly to the page where the pen was clamped, and quickly drew a few simple pictures.

She has been thinking about the appearance of the pot for a long time, and she has all in her head, and she can draw it with a pen.

It's just that it's inconvenient to move with gloves, and the drawn picture is a bit ugly, the lines are trembling, and none of them are smooth and smooth.

Fortunately, the general idea is not bad, and the meaning is at least clearly expressed.

"Master, take a look." Jiang Zhilian handed over the small notebook and explained it in detail.

The most ordinary, round stockpot without any design;

can be used to make a mandarin duck pot, add a soup pot with a partition in the middle;

On the basis of the mandarin duck pot, an independent partition space can be added in the middle, which looks like a small bowl;

There is also a design without a partition, but there is also a small bowl shape in the middle, but with a leaky eye;

Add a nine-square grid and the like, and draw a whole page.

These are all things that Jiang Zhilian once saw when she was eating hot pot.

The lame master's gaze gradually became serious from casual at the beginning.

He fumbled for reading glasses, put them on solemnly, and looked at them for a long time with a small notebook.

"I draw relatively small, and it's a little slop......py," Jiang Zhilian didn't want to disturb the master, but felt that it was still necessary to explain.

She took two steps forward and said, "If you can do that, I'll find a place to draw a few big pictures for you in a moment." ”

The lame master raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Zhilian from the top edge of the frame, "How many pots do you need?" ”

Jiang Zhilian thought for a moment and replied, "I want as much as you can do." ”

The lame master fell silent, his eyebrows twisted into a ball.

He shook his head slightly, as if he was not very happy with the answer.

Jiang Zhilian noticed the change in her master's expression, but she couldn't find a better answer for a while.

"If you can't give you the exact number, then I can't." The lame master finally closed the little notebook and replied.

Jiang Zhilian pursed her lips and said, "I want two hundred in total, different styles." ”

"I can't do it." The lame master affirmed, "Do you know how long it takes to make a pot!" ”

"What hundred?" Jiang Zhilian began to bargain.

The lame master shook his head, still the same sentence, "Can't do it!" ”

"Don't you have an apprentice? Apprentices can do it! As long as you're in charge of directing. "Jiang Zhilian originally didn't plan to let the master make all the pots by himself.

The lame master still gave face, and did not drive people directly, but made a small suggestion, "You want so many pots, why don't you go to the factory to order them?" Now it's very convenient to make your kind of pot in the factory. The machine made it, and the craftsmanship is also good. In the future, the pot will be consumed, and it will be more convenient to buy it again. ”

"I thought about finding a factory before, but ......," Jiang Zhilian paused and said, "I have more requirements, and the quantity ordered is too small for the factory, and they will not be willing to do it." In addition, I have high quality requirements, and it is difficult to reach a consensus with the factory in a short period of time. ”

The lame master stared at Jiang Zhilian for a full minute.

Jiang Zhilian wanted to speak several times, but she couldn't help it.

At this time, it should not be too noisy, not that the more you say, the more convincing it will be.

Give the master enough time to think.

If he still refuses, it's not too late to find a way to persuade him when the time comes.

Waiting for an answer in the cold air is not easy.

Jiang Zhilian felt that her hands and feet were going to freeze.

It's getting dark, and the temperature is dropping.

"Find a place to draw! I'll give you half an hour. The lame master put the little notebook back in his pocket.

After turning on the radio, he tucked his hands into his cuffs.

"Okay! Half an hour is enough! Jiang Zhilian was overjoyed in her heart, and immediately pulled Meng Qing to trot up.

The two came to a dumpling restaurant near the wholesale market.

Meng Qing ordered a plate of vegetarian dumplings and two bowls of noodle soup.

The boss's children were doing their homework on the small table next to the counter, and Jiang Zhilian bought a copy of Tianzi grid paper, a pencil and an eraser from the boss.

After finding a corner and making it, she rubbed her hands together for a moment.

The dumpling restaurant was steaming hot and the temperature was very high.

After taking a big sip of half a bowl of hot dumpling soup, my hands and feet quickly warmed up.

Jiang Zhilian raced against time to draw.

The little face that had been frozen in the cold wind was extremely pink by the heat in the house.

Meng Qing chewed silently, occasionally stuffing a dumpling into her mouth without disturbing Jiang Zhilian.

After Jiang Zhilian ate three or five, she realized that there was food in her mouth.

She tasted it distractedly, and thought it tasted pretty good.

"One more plate!" Jiang Zhilian glanced at the only two dumplings left on the plate in front of her, "I didn't feel it just now, but now I'm suddenly a little hungry." ”

"Okay." Meng Qing raised his hand to call the boss and added another vegetarian dumpling.

After drawing the picture and eating the dumplings, there were still five minutes left before the half hour given to her by the lame master.

Run back, just right.

The wholesale market was much empty, and many people had already closed their stalls and gone home.

Meng Qing grabbed Jiang Zhilian, who was about to run forward, and said, "Turn back, pass through the stall, there is a shortcut." ”

Jiang Zhilian did not hesitate, and ran all the way in the direction guided by Meng Qing.

The lame master didn't go, and when they arrived, the time was just right.

"Master, I've drawn the picture!" Jiang Zhilian handed over the Tianzi grid paper, panting like a cow.

The lame master pulled his hand out of his sleeve, turned off the radio, picked up the Tianzi grid paper and flipped through it briefly.

"I'll choose the materials?" He cleared his throat and asked.

Jiang Zhilian stabilized her breathing because she didn't have time to run smoothly, and nodded, "You are a professional, you can choose the materials!" ”

"You painted eight different looks, twenty-five of each?" The lame master asked.

Jiang Zhilian gave a thumbs up, "Your mental arithmetic is really good." ”

The lame master pouted, "Don't think that craftsmen will only bury their heads in work." I can't do this arithmetic problem, and my craft is not much better! ”

Jiang Zhilian smiled and nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, craftsmen are all hermit masters, unfathomable!" ”

"In a hurry?" The lame master flipped through the drawings in his hand repeatedly.

"No hurry!" When the words fell, Jiang Zhilian added: "But the sooner the better." ”

The lame master thought for a while, "You can pick up the goods in three months!" ”

"It's going to take three months, it's ......" This time is a little longer than Jiang Zhilian imagined.

"What? Too slow? The lame master raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Zhilian, "Then you go find someone else!" I'll have three months at the earliest. ”

"Not slow, not slow! Four months is fine! Jiang Zhilian hurriedly said.

"There's one more question." The lame master said: "Because of the different materials, it is not easy to set the price now. ”

Jiang Zhilian: "I'm sure you won't raise the price indiscriminately." ”

The lame master chuckled, "You're not afraid of being deceived. ”

"How much deposit do I need?" Jiang Zhilian understood the rules, and without waiting for the other party to say, she took the initiative to ask.

The lame master held up two fingers.

Jiang Zhilian didn't say a word, and took out two hundred yuan from her backpack.

"Leave your address and phone number, and I'll contact you when it's done." The lame master threw the Tianzi grid paper in front of Jiang Zhilian.

Jiang Zhilian wrote down the address and phone number of the vegetarian restaurant, thought about it, and added the phone number of the rental house below.

"Can you send it to me when it's ready?" Jiang Zhilian finally asked tentatively.

The lame master didn't even think about it, so he said, "You can't send it, you come to pick up the goods in person!" ”

Jiang Zhilian: "Oh, good! ”
