Chapter 107: Deliberately finding fault
"How can it be so fast, that is, the main body is completed, and there are still many details that need to be improved, such as the construction of the spire, how to open and close the gate, the engraving on the tower, and the inlay of gemstones. We have a total of more than 800 gemstones, and it takes a lot of effort just to set them. ”
Qin Lanzhou saw that Song Jinyu was so satisfied with "Yan Tower", and said proudly for a while.
Although this work occupies a lot of their time and energy, resulting in a backlog of orders in the past few months, Qin Lanzhou does not feel that there is any loss at all.
Slow work and meticulous work rely on perseverance and highly focused patience, and it is necessary to make corresponding sacrifices.
In the past few months, in order to complete other orders for "Yan Tower" and the Molan Workshop, Zhao De and Sun Yun have not gone home for several months, and they have been up early and greedy every day, working hard and complaining.
From them, Qin Lanzhou vaguely saw the epitome of the craftsman spirit of her father's generation, which made her feel more confident.
Song Jinyu thought that the main tower in front of him was perfect enough, but he didn't expect that there was still a lot of work to be done in the follow-up, and he admired several craftsmen more and more in his heart for a while.
"Everyone has really worked hard, and I can't contribute, so I can only pay. Let's do it in the evening, please make a meal! ”
Song Jinyu echoed with a smile.
Now that the Molan Workshop has become their common business, as one of the bosses, it is understandable for him to invite guests to dinner.
"Good! Eat the most expensive if you want to! ”
"Let's go to Rong Ji! Anyway, Brother Jinyu has money! ”
"Yes, we want to taste what the legendary 82-year-old Lafite tastes like, can Brother Jinyu?"
……
The little hairy children represented by dumplings immediately coaxed when they heard that Song Jinyu was going to have a treat.
"Yes, no problem! But after eating my meal, you have to follow your sister and Brother Mo to learn the craft, don't be lazy! ”
Song Jinyu responded magnificently, and he said with a smile.
"Not only will we learn the craft seriously, but we will also try our best to help you say good things in front of Sister Yi. Brother Jinyu, the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard! ”
The dumpling patted Song Jinyu's shoulder without being big or small, and joked with a smile.
Dumpling's words made everyone in the audience laugh.
The matter of Song Jinyu and Qin Lanzhou is now an open secret in the Molan Workshop, and everyone has followed the dumplings to coax, making Song Jinyu's old face, which has not been red for 800 years, flush slightly red in an instant.
Seeing that the atmosphere was high, and everyone was about to call it a day for Song Jinyu to invite them to dinner, at the door of the Molan Workshop, Du Mengsheng's slightly shrill voice suddenly came:
"I heard that the main body of the Yan Pagoda of the Molan Workshop has been completed, you guys are slow enough-"
Hearing the voice of this uninvited guest, Qin Lanzhou quickly pulled the red cloth and immediately covered their works tightly.
Although the swallow tower is built based on the real thing, and everyone's works look very different on the surface, the handicrafts are often the real details.
It stands to reason that the two are competitors, so they should avoid suspicion on weekdays.
But this Du Mengsheng, not only from time to time, either asked people to borrow something, or sent people to pretend to be customers to hang around.
Now, they are even more grandiose with a few craftsmen from their Chengxiang Workshop and openly walked into their processing department, clearly coming to inquire about the situation.
"Being close is not a reason for you to come to the door, sorry, you are not welcome in our Melan Workshop."
Qin Lanzhou even dared to let Qiu Chengxiang directly let him not come to the stage, and he didn't have a good face for this fox and fake tiger Du Mengsheng.
Seeing that the other party came to the door licking his face, Qin Lanzhou quickly pinched Xiaoman's waist to block the door of the processing department, and coldly issued a "customer eviction order".
"Tsk, look at this sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed force, we're not here to visit the door. I just wanted to remind you that our work is almost finished and ready to be turned in. Chairman Choi said that for the sake of fairness, he hoped that the two of us would discuss it and hand it over on the same day. I hope you will hurry up so that you don't hold us back—"
Du Mengsheng frowned and said to Qin Lanzhou arrogantly.
Every time Qin Lanzhou saw this person before, this person was in a suit and leather shoes, and now he probably saw that Qiu Chengxiang liked to wear Zhongshan suits and Tang suits, in order to cater to the other party's preferences, he even changed into a Chinese-style smoky gray linen jacket, and he was holding a string of rosewood bracelets in his hands.
"It's the National Day, it's still early, you don't have to be anxious. We'll let you know when it's finished. ”
Qin Lanzhou said coldly.
At this time, it was the Yan Pagoda that probably saw that their desk was covered with red silk cloth, and despite Qin Lanzhou's obstruction, Du Mengsheng still sharpened his head and drilled into their processing department.
He quickly looked around at the tools they were using, to guess where they had come.
Immediately after, he stared at the "Yan Tower" covered under the red silk cloth, and his eyes revealed two fine lights, just when he couldn't hold back and couldn't step forward to uncover it, Zhao De and Sun Yun spontaneously blocked in front of the desk, and Dumpling also took a few apprentices to stand with Zhao De and Sun Yun, covering the interior of the processing department tightly.
"Chairman Choi told me to check your progress and determine how long you expect it to be completed. If you block the work like this and don't let me see it, then I have to report to Chairman Cui, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it on time! ”
Seeing that the Molan Workshop was so united, Du Mengsheng had no choice but to move out of the mountain of President Cui in a hurry.
In fact, the reason why he brought a few craftsmen to the Molan Workshop today was not on the orders of President Cui at all, the real reason was that they were halfway through their "Yan Pagoda", and found that the effect was not only much worse than he expected, but also they were not proficient in the craftsmanship of several key parts.
Du Mengsheng's level is only half-baked, and what Gao Yuan and Wan Cheng learned from Zhao De back then was only fur, and the three of them stinky cobblers together could not beat one Zhao De, let alone compete with the four gold medal craftsmen of the Molan Workshop.
Now they have encountered problems in the process, Gao Yuan and Wan Cheng have already offended Zhao De, the two sides have changed from master and apprentice to teammates, they naturally have no way to ask Zhao De, seeing that the deadline is approaching day by day, Chengxiang has invested a lot of money and energy in the manufacture of "Yan Tower", Du Mengsheng as the chief craftsman, he did not dare to tell Qiu Chengxiang the truth, and second, he was afraid that he would take responsibility when the time came, and he came and went, how could he not be anxious?
Therefore, he came to the door today, in the name of President Cui, in fact, he tried his best to take a look at the works of the Molan Workshop, and wanted to see what tools they used.
It's just that the timing of his arrival is not very right, Song Jinyu happened to be in the Molan Workshop.
Song Jinyu and President Cui have a very good personal relationship, when the two met together a few days ago, President Cui also instructed Song Jinyu to let Qin Lanzhou and them not have to be anxious, good handicrafts must be polished slowly, he is very optimistic about the Molan Workshop, and hopes that the Molan Workshop will be able to come up with works that will convince everyone at that time.
Chairman Cui has always been fair, even if there is any notice, he will let his secretary give it directly, and it is impossible to pretend to be Du Mengsheng.
"Du Mengsheng, I don't think it's very appropriate for you to come to the Molan Workshop in the name of President Cui so grandly and ask to see the works. Or, I'll give Chairman Choi a call, and I'll ask him if he's asked you to come here, how about it? ”
Song Jinyu had a cold face, stood beside Qin Lanzhou, looked at Du Mengsheng and said coldly.
Du Mengsheng was all focused on how to plagiarize the works of the Molan Workshop, and he didn't notice that Song Jinyu was also on the scene.
When Song Jinyu said this, Du Mengsheng noticed him, Du Mengsheng naturally knew the relationship between Song Jinyu and Chairman Cui, he originally just wanted to bluff Qin Lanzhou, but when Song Jinyu said this, he was instantly scared into a cold sweat.
He and President Cui are not familiar at all, and he has asked President Cui out for tea several times, but he is not face-saving enough and can't make an appointment at all.
"That's not necessary, I won't come and tell you! Since you don't give face, then don't blame us for being polite then!"
Despite his weak heart, Du Mengsheng still put on a serious score.
Qin Lanzhou saw that these people were not leaving the Molan Workshop, so without saying a word, he picked up a rafter next to him, pointed at them with angry eyes and said:
"You can't go! If you don't leave, I'll show you what it means to be truly welcome! ”
At this moment, Qin Lanzhou was holding a half-human-length rafter, and stood there heroically, with a murderous aura in her apricot eyes, and she was a modern woman.
Du Mengsheng saw that the people of the Molan Workshop were not only unprecedentedly united, but also Song Jinyu was also present, so he didn't dare to stay any longer, he wiped his nose viciously, and left the gate of the Molan Workshop with a group of people.
Although the works of the Molan Workshop are covered with red silk cloth, he can judge from the external outline that their main body is now almost complete, and the Chengxiang Workshop is still far away.
Du Mengsheng's heart was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, but he had already boasted to Qiu Chengxiang about Haikou, and now he didn't dare to tell Qiu Chengxiang the truth.
"At present, with our Chengxiang progress and the level of the three of us, it is estimated that it is difficult to complete "Yan Tower". I remember that the set of drawings that Qin Lanzhou took out at that time, did it mark which place and which process were marked in detail? ”
After returning to the Chengxiang Workshop, Du Mengsheng turned his head and asked Gao Yuandao.
Gao Yuan was confused by the question at first, and then quickly replied:
"It seems like that's the case, I remember that their drawings were very delicate at the time-"
"That's right, we just don't know the details right now, if we can get their drawings, it will be easy."
Du Mengsheng's face instantly showed a secretive smile, and he laughed "hehe", with a sinister look on his face, as if he had some bad idea in his mind......
