Chapter 117: From a Famous Master
"It's finally agreed, but it still costs a hundred taels of silver." Master Xie walked in with a smell of wine, and said angrily: "Wu Jin is really not a thing!" β
Father Tian said: "Give it." β
"......" Master Xie didn't expect Father Tian to agree so quickly, and all the words he prepared were held in his throat.
He looked at Father Tian in surprise and said, "You have to think about this matter yourself, otherwise you won't feel good if you hold your breath in your chest." β
Tian's father said: "The situation is stronger than people, so I have to bow my head." β
"Whew! Wouldn't it be better if you said you figured this out earlier! Master Xie was overjoyed, patted Tian's father on the shoulder, and said loudly: "You are just too stubborn!" β
Xie Shi led people in with wine and food, and said with a smile: "Talk while eating!" β
Master Xie wiped his face and said, "I accompanied Wu Jin to drink early this morning, and I drank two times in a row, but I couldn't drink, and I saw that my brother-in-law hadn't sobered up yet, so I only ate and didn't drink this meal." β
Xie Shi couldn't wait to have such a sentence, and immediately took the wine away.
Master Xie saw it in his eyes and said with a smile: "I am relieved to see that the relationship between the two of you is so good." β
Father Tian was not used to talking about this with people, so he diverted the topic: "I heard that you have been looking for someone to make porcelain, has there been any progress recently?" β
Master Xie said happily: "Of course there is!" Didn't I invite a lot of masters from the north before? Some of them are also made of Ru porcelain, and I asked them to imitate the shape of tribute porcelain, and make some porcelain, which also sells well.
Recently, the Koreans are coming again, and I'm going to pull a boatload of porcelain to sell to them, do you want to come along? β
Father Tian said: "Come together?" β
Master Xie said: "My pile master is not very good, if you ask Master Zhang to help, the porcelain fired will be better and more valuable." You are not good at making imitation tribute porcelain in your own kiln, we can do it together, and after removing the cost, we will divide it fifty-fifty, what do you think? β
Father Tian hesitated, but still refused: "Forget it, I'll still concentrate on burning the tribute porcelain." β
Master Xie was a little unhappy, but he didn't force it: "You, I just praised you for opening your mind, and in a blink of an eye you blocked it again!" Let me tell you, these eight tribute porcelain kilns, except for you, all of them are doing this in private! Haven't you just been to Mingzhou Port? Don't tell me you didn't see it, you didn't hear it! β
Father Tian bowed his head and said, "They are them, and I am me." Master Zhang is old, and he can't move from running at both ends. β
Master Xie was angry, held back for a long time, and asked, "What about Ah Wei?" β
Tian's father said: "Let's take a look first, I don't know if I can sell it, the cost is not low." β
Master Xie was so angry that he took a sip of tea, got up and left: "You elm head!" You wait, Lord Yang is transferred, Wu Jin comes to power, you have to suffer! There is no other input subsidy, it's up to you what to do! β
Xie personally brought in a dish of scallion and fried mutton, and when he saw this, he hurriedly stopped: "Why do you want to leave?" I haven't finished my meal yet. β
Master Xie brushed his sleeves away: "Don't eat it!" I'm kind enough to help, as if I have something else to do. β
Xie Shi was embarrassed: "Master, look at this ......"
Father Tian said: "It is precisely because Lord Yang is going to be transferred and Wu Jin is going to come to power, that I have to be more cautious." β
Otherwise, those people can find a mistake and wipe out his tribute porcelain qualifications.
In the afternoon, Tian's father felt that he was more energetic, so he asked Xie to take out a silver ticket of one hundred taels and put it in a gift box and send it to Wu Jin alone.
Xie Shi's eyes were red with distress, this one hundred taels of silver was enough for the family to eat and wear for a long time, and it was enough to furnish Tian Bing's new house!
Tian Youwei comforted her: "If you are willing to give up, you will be able to earn more money." β
Xie Shi stroked her back and said, "I just hope that your brother will take the test sooner and not make your father work so hard with you." β
With this one hundred taels of silver, Wu Jin finally didn't shout to send the animal porcelain statue anymore, but he left half of the porcelain statue, and after counting, he still took nearly two hundred taels of silver.
Tian's father was half angry, swallowed his anger and returned home, and forced a smile at his wife and daughter: "In order to make him happy, I gave him a few porcelain statues." He will definitely take it out to sell or give it away, and he can also make a name for our Ah Wei. β
Xie complained: "The master is really generous! How good it is to raise his appetite! β
Tian Youwei stopped Xie Shi and said with a smile: "It's good that Dad is in charge." β
Next, we are waiting for the news of Tian Bing and Shao Jing.
At the same time.
Tian Bing and Shao Jing arrived at the port of Mingzhou.
In late spring and early summer, it was the season when the Goryeo ships arrived, and Goryeo lacked coins and mostly bartered.
Tian Bing was a little at a loss: "Ah Jing, are we going to take these things to the shop to sell?" If we barter, what should we exchange for? β
Shao Jing said calmly: "The most famous thing in Goryeo is ginseng and other medicinal materials, let's change some medicinal materials." In addition to the Koreans, there will also be Fuso merchant ships coming over this season, and we can exchange some wood, mercury, lacquerware, folding fans, knives and other things with them. β
Tian Bingdao: "How do you know so much? β
Shao Jing said: "When I was a child, I saw a lot with my grandfather. β
Tian Bing is a lot more down-to-earth, he doesn't understand, not because he is stupid, but because he has little knowledge.
Steward Chen was full of food and drink, and scolded the guy while picking his teeth in the shop with his feet crossed: "Stupid person who eats white food, tells you to put the best goods on top of the faΓ§ade, and generally put it down, you don't listen to ......"
Suddenly, I heard a laugh from outside the shop: "Yo, Shopkeeper Chen's business is booming." β
This familiar children's voice really frightened Steward Chen, he threw a bone toothpick and jumped up, busy to salute Shao Jing, but was stopped by Shao Jing's look: "We have something to sell, do you have customers?" β
Steward Chen couldn't figure out what he was going to sell, so he didn't dare to agree easily, so he said with a smile: "It depends on what it is." β
Shao Jing asked the porter to bring in a few boxes of secret color porcelain made of gold and silver ornaments, as well as animal porcelain statues, and put them out one by one for Steward Chen to see: "That's it." β
Steward Chen's eyes were straight: "This, this...... That's pretty good, isn't it? Thousands of peaks are emerald colored, such as ice and jade, this secret color porcelain for gold and silver ornaments has never been only in rumors, and has never seen the real thing! β
Since the previous dynasty, the secret color porcelain made of gold and silver ornaments was exclusively for the royal family, and it was difficult for the people to see, and after several wars, it was basically extinct today.
The royal family of this dynasty advocates the beauty of elegance and simplicity, but the people of Fanbang like luxurious things, and some wealthy families in this dynasty will also like this.
Shao Jing was quite proud, and then showed him the porcelain statue of the animal: "What about this?" β
Steward Chen looked at them one by one very carefully, and praised: "This porcelain statue is vivid and interesting, and no one will doubt that it is from a famous master!" β
Shao Jing said proudly: "It was originally from a famous master!" β
