Chapter 069: Competing for the Master
"Girl, it's such a cold day, you've been walking around the Yan Tower several times, what are you doing here?"
Qin Lanzhou looked back and saw an elder who was about the same age as Qin Lanzhou's father asking her.
"Oh, I'm here to sketch on Yancheng Mountain, I'm going to leave-"
Qin Lanzhou saw that he was carrying a work badge and estimated that he was a staff member of Yanta, so he quickly stood up and replied politely.
"It's so cold, it's frozen, right? I'm Lao Zhao, the person in charge of Yanta management, you come here, come to my office to warm up and warm up before leaving. β
Uncle Zhao saw that Qin Lanzhou was so polite, so he pointed to his office in the Yan Pagoda and said to Qin Lanzhou.
Qin Lanzhou's nose and hands were indeed red from the cold at this time, and when she saw Uncle Zhao's invitation, she nodded gratefully and entered his office with Uncle Zhao.
Although Uncle Zhao's office is not big and the environment is very simple, the indoor air conditioner is turned on, and there is a desk and a few chairs inside, as well as a large monitoring screen, which can see the monitoring pictures arranged by Yanta in all directions.
After Qin Lanzhou put down the easel, he chatted with Uncle Zhao with a match.
Seeing that Qin Lanzhou was so interested in Yan Pagoda, he introduced the history of Yan Pagoda to Qin Lanzhou like several stations.
After his body gradually warmed up, Qin Lanzhou couldn't help but ask Uncle Zhao in surprise:
"Uncle Zhao, are you a native of Yancheng? How do you know so much about the history of the Yan Pagoda? β
"I'm not from Yancheng, I'm from Sioux City, I came here ten years ago, I've been here for ten years, and in two years, I can officially retire and return to my hometown!"
Uncle Zhao said with a smile.
When Qin Lanzhou heard that Uncle Zhao was also from Sucheng, he said happily for a while:
"Uncle Zhao, I didn't expect that we were fellow villagers, I am also from Sioux City, I am from Anhe Town, a suburb of Sioux City, do you know?"
Seeing that he met his fellow villagers, Qin Lanzhou directly reported the name of his hometown.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Uncle Zhao heard the words "Anhe Town", his eyes suddenly lit up excitedly:
"Ann River Town? You just said that your surname is Qin, so do you know Qin Yi? β
"Of course I know, Qin Yi is my father. Uncle Zhao, do you know my father? β
Qin Lanzhou didn't expect that Uncle Zhao, who met in Pingshui, would suddenly mention her father Qin Yi, and stood up in surprise for a moment and asked.
When he heard that Qin Yi was Qin Lanzhou's father, Uncle Zhao couldn't help but be even more excited, and after carefully looking at Qin Lanzhou up and down, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up:
"No wonder I feel familiar when I look at you, it's really a bit like Lao Qin, but it's more like his wife. Of course I know your father, not only do I know him, but in terms of seniority, I am still his senior brother! β
Uncle Zhao said with a smile, he looked at the junior in front of him with a loving face, and he was overjoyed for a while.
Qin Lanzhou never expected that she would climb Yancheng Mountain this time, and she had no intention of planting willows, and met her father's brother here.
"So, have you ever worked in fine gold? What a coincidence! β
"Yes, my real name is Zhao De, my filigree craft is not as good as your father, but I was a must in the wax carving process, but unfortunately this line is now more and more declining, so ten years ago, I was introduced by a friend to be responsible for the management of Yan Tower, this tube, it has been in charge for almost ten years!"
Uncle Zhao saw that he met his old acquaintance's daughter, so he reported his real name.
Zhao De...... The moment Qin Lanzhou heard this name, she immediately recalled that on the third page of the address book that Situ Mo handed over to her, there was a master named Zhao De who was good at carving wax.
It's really nowhere to go...... Qin Lanzhou instantly became excited:
"I really didn't expect that you were Master Zhao De. Since you know my parents, I should call you uncle. Uncle Zhao, it's a pleasure to meet youβ"
Having met the industry veterans, Qin Lanzhou hurriedly stood up and bowed happily to Zhao De.
Zhao De was even more overjoyed when he saw that Qin Lanzhou was so sensible, he hurriedly asked Qin Lanzhou to sit down, and then said with a smile:
"I saw you when you were a child, when you were a little carrot head, and you were very naughty when you were a child. I've heard that your father stopped doing this business more than a decade ago, so what are you doing now? β
Zhao De smiled and compared Qin Lanzhou's height when he was a child, and then asked with a smile.
"My father injured his hand in a car accident before, and he can't do this anymore, but my senior brother Situ Mo and I are still persevering, and we have now founded the Molan Workshop, which is on Beixun Ancient Street. Uncle Zhao, haven't you done a craft again in the years? β
Qin Lanzhou hurriedly said.
"Molan Workshop...... This is what your father wanted to create back then, but I didn't expect you to be young, still a girl, and have such ambitions, yes-"
When Zhao De heard Qin Lanzhou say this, he immediately praised again and again.
"To tell you the truth, Uncle Zhao, I came to Yancheng Mountain this time because I wanted to use "Yan Tower" as the prototype to create a large-scale gold craft. You've been in charge of Yanta for so many years, so you must be very familiar with Yanta and proficient in wax carving, so it would be great if you could join along! β
Qin Lanzhou saw that Zhao De and his father were old acquaintances, so he immediately explained his intention to Zhao De.
"I can't do it anymore, my old eyes are dizzy, I haven't touched this business for almost ten years, and my old business is about to forget about it-"
Unexpectedly, when Zhao De heard that Qin Lanzhou was going to invite him out of the mountain, he was so shocked that he hurriedly waved his hand to shirk it.
Qin Lanzhou still wanted to persuade again, but he didn't think about it, but at this time, he suddenly heard a sound of rustling footsteps from the hall outside.
"In this weather, why do people come up to the mountain?"
The sudden sound of footsteps surprised Zhao De, so he immediately turned on the surveillance screen at the main entrance of the Yan Tower.
Qin Lanzhou glanced curiously at the picture in the surveillance, and as a result, she found that the person who came to Yan Pagoda was none other than Qiu Hao and Du Mengsheng, who was known as the "master", who was seen at the dinner that day.
Unexpectedly, on such a cold day, they also climbed Yancheng Mountain...... Qin Lanzhou was surprised in his heart, but at this time, he heard Zhao De muttering:
"Why does this person look so familiar? Xiao Qin, you warm up here first, I'll go out and take a look. β
After Zhao De and Qin Lanzhou greeted each other, they immediately opened the door of the office and walked out.
Qin Lanzhou stared at the surveillance screen and found that Du Mengsheng and Qiu Hao were talking about something while looking around, and then soon after, Zhao De appeared in the surveillance screen.
After seeing Zhao De and Du Mengsheng glance at each other, the two of them first patted their thighs excitedly, and then hugged each other tightly like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, and each slapped each other's shoulders before letting go.
Seeing that Zhao De and Du Mengsheng were so familiar, Qin Lanzhou secretly said something bad in his heart...... There are not many old-timers engaged in this industry in the industry, and Zhao De and Du Mengsheng know each other, could it be that Du Mengsheng came to Yancheng Mountain to find Zhao De this time?
Qin Lanzhou was muttering in his heart, at this time, Zhao De and Du Mengsheng had finished greeting, and Zhao Dezheng enthusiastically led the two of them in the direction of his office.
Qin Lanzhou couldn't dodge it for a while, so she had to quickly put away the sketches and notes she had drawn.
She had just packed her things, and soon, the door of Zhao De's office was pushed open again, and Zhao De's enthusiastic voice came:
"Lao Du, I really didn't expect that this snowy weather is so cold, and you made a special trip to see me, really."
"Ten years have passed since we had that meal in Sioux City ten years ago. Isn't it about to start the new year? I thought that you were alone on this mountain, so I brought some good wine and food, and came to drink two glasses with you. β
Du Mengsheng's voice came immediately.
At this moment, Qin Lanzhou saw Qiu Hao walking in with a few boxes of lo-mei and two bottles of Wuliangye in his hand.
At the same time that Qin Lanzhou saw Qiu Hao, Qiu Hao also saw Qin Lanzhou, he was slightly surprised, and then hurriedly stabbed Du Mengsheng's arm:
"Master, Master, look, she's hereβ"
Qiu Hao's stab, Du Mengsheng stopped greeting at this time, and immediately looked in the direction of Qin Lanzhou.
Out of politeness, Qin Lanzhou stood up and greeted lightly:
"Master Du, Qiu Hao, you have also come up the mountain."
"You know each other? That's really a coincidence, Xiao Qin is the daughter of Master Qin, and I came to Yancheng Mountain to sketch today, I saw that it was cold outside, so I let her in to keep warm. β
Zhao De didn't hear the mystery in their words, so he said with a smile.
Du Mengsheng didn't expect that at the dinner a few days ago, he had just had a big trouble because of this girl, and now he met her here in Zhao De again.
He had learned Qin Lanzhou's sharp teeth, and estimated that the purpose of Qin Lanzhou's trip was the same as his, so he didn't even want to pretend to be superficial, and said with a smile:
"You are very positive, and it is not yet known who will be involved in the "Yan Tower". I didn't expect you to come to Lao Zhao so quickly! β
Du Mengsheng saw that Qin Lanzhou had taken the lead, and he was worried that Zhao De had already been moved by Qin Lanzhou's words, so his tone was very angry.
Qin Lanzhou naturally heard Du Mengsheng's words, although she didn't like Du Mengsheng's aggressive attitude very much, but out of respect for the old-timers in the industry, she still smiled and said:
"It's because we don't know who will go to "Yanta", so I made preparations early. Master Du said that I am active, isn't it a good thing to actively participate? β
Qin Lanzhou sneered at each other lightly.
"Of course, it's good to actively participate, but without this diamond, it's better not to take this porcelain job. I heard that your father cut off his right hand many years ago, and the Qin family will not be able to achieve any climate just with a little girl like you! β
Du Mengsheng saw Qin Lanzhou going up the mountain alone, and he expected that she had no helper, so he deliberately mentioned Qin Yi's incident back then to avenge her disrespect to him at the dinner......
