In the last book, it was mentioned that the four jade masters of the Xu family knelt down and kowtowed when they saw Xin Yao. Xin Yao dared to accept their heads, and hurriedly stepped forward to help them up one by one.

Jiang Quan took the opportunity to introduce it, Xin Yao couldn't remember her name for a while, she was surnamed Xu, so she used Xu Yi, Xu Er, Xu San, and Xu Si in her heart.

Xin Yao said: "The four masters are all old men, and they are still guarding the Jade Pavilion to this day, and Xin Yao is grateful." Over the years, I have wronged you to nest in this Zhuangzi. ”

The masters are all real craftsmen, and they only took out the finished products made in the past few days after a few cold words, and Jiang Xinyao played with them one by one and took a closer look.

Jade grinding is divided into 12 processes: 1. sand pounding, 2. pulping, 3. opening jade, 4. piercing, 5. punching, 6. grinding, 7. evisceration, 8. flowering, 9. drilling, 10. penetrating flowers, 11. punching, 12. glazing. Generally speaking, the first three are done by apprentices, and the fourth is only taken care of by real jade craftsmen. The last course is done by a professional polisher. Of course, jade with a simple shape does not need to go through all the processes.

These four masters are the masters of the seven processes in the middle, and they worshiped under Jiang Quan's father's door back then, and every carving was taught by the master. Even if the Xu family is defeated so far, because the master has something to say on his deathbed, he will guard the Xu family dutifully and be loyal.

Cutting and jade is a very rigorous, boring, hard manual work. Because jade is extremely hard, it must be made of iron disc - ** as a tool, with water and emery as the medium, through the process of guillotine, chisel, punching, pressing, hooking, and smoothing, and grinding bit by bit. It is very different from the carved "knife work". The jade pieces pondered by the master can achieve the artistic effect of "seeing the big in the small" and "showing the heavy with light".

Jiang Xinyao's grandfather is a master of jade, and no one is allowed to disturb him when he is working.

Jiang Xinyao saw that the jade inherited by her was exquisitely conceived, vivid and expressive, with unique ingenuity, and each piece could be called a fine product, so she knew that these four masters were exquisitely crafted. Xin Yao recalled the finished products of her grandfather in her previous life, and found that there was a difference between the jade carving in this era and the previous life, and this difference was the difference in the carving techniques.

Xin Yao couldn't help but sigh that the advanced jade cutting tools and high-speed production process in her previous life were far inferior to the most primitive tools used by the ancients. Jiang Xinyao was in awe of these four jade masters, of course, she was also secretly weak, if she hadn't dealt with jewelry and jade every day in the past, and she was well-informed, she was afraid that she would not be able to convince people now.

Jiang Quandao: "Miss, I have been looking forward to you coming, and there is nothing else, but there are some patterns, which are more complicated, and the masters have never done it." ”

Xin Yao hurriedly said: "I'm a class with an axe, don't laugh at me for the four masters." Your craftsmanship is really good, I have nothing to say, I just think about it, draw blindly, and try to see if I can make something new and different from the past. If it can be done, our shop will be the first in Suzhou City. ”

Xu Yi stepped forward and said, "Miss is very reasonable. The work we do is all passed down from the master and is used to it. It is not surprising that as long as there are good materials and good craftsmanship in the jade industry, they can make it. It's the first time we've seen the ornaments and pendants that Miss painted. ”

Xin Yao listened carefully and said: "Master doesn't need to be humble, the things that have been passed down from generation to generation must be excellent, and we are not in a hurry, these ten days, I will stay in Zhuangzi, and we will study and ponder together, what do you think?" ”

All four of them said that it would be great if this was the case. It's better to have someone to draw than to look at a picture that can't speak.

So, Jiang Xinyao changed into the clothes of a rough maid, and spent days and nights researching, discussing, and arguing with the masters in the workshop, explaining the patterns on the album to the masters one by one, to see how to choose materials, and pondering to achieve the best results.

Within a few days, Jiang Xinyao's little face lost weight.

Yinggui changed the method to make delicious food for Miss, the ingredients on the Zhuangzi are fresh, and the chicken, duck and fish meat taste better than Jiangfu, and Miss also likes to eat. This made Jiang Quan and a few masters very happy, and when it was time to eat, they had no intention of working, and their eyes only looked out.

Jiang Xinyao was tired of staying in the workshop, so she asked Jiang Quan to accompany her to walk around the Zhuangzi and discuss the matter of the shop by the way. Looking at the situation in front of her, the third day of March is too late, Jiang Xinyao doesn't want to put all the old goods on the counter, there must be one or two treasures that can be controlled. Now that these treasures are still in the hands of the master, Jiang Xinyao does not want to settle and proposes to reopen on the eighth day of April.

Jiang Quan immediately agreed, Jiang Xinyao thought about the plaque, and said to Jiang Quan: "Master Quan, I thought about it, this Jade Xuan can no longer be used." Although decades have passed since the events of that year, things have long been different, but how many of the old people in Suzhou City don't know about Cuiyuxuan? Don't let someone with a heart tell you about it. That alone makes me not be able to take this risk. I can't let everyone's hard work be wiped out by a few words from others, how can I explain to my grandfather? ”

Jiang Quandao: "Miss, I understand. Don't worry, although Jade Xuan is a century-old number, I just can't bear it, and I won't risk it. ”

Xin Yao nodded and said, "If you can think like this, I'm relieved." I told him about it at my grandfather's grave, and I don't think he blames me. Now we want to think of a good name. I thought about a few here, Jin Jue Pavilion, Yu Runxuan, Zhuo Yu Zhai, which one do you think is better? ”

Jiang Quan listened, pondered for a long time, and said with a smile: "Miss, I think Jinjue Pavilion is more elegant, what do you see?" ”

Xin Yao said: "Master Quan and I want to go together." That's great! ”

Jiang Quan didn't hesitate, and immediately asked someone to make a plaque.

On the fifth day, the money shopkeeper dragged his family to the village, and after the dust and dust got off the carriage,

Can't wait to meet Miss Four.

The full name of the money shopkeeper is Qian Jincai, and when he was poor, his father gave him this name, and it was money and wealth. Now he is forty years old, his wife Huang has two sons and two daughters, the two daughters have long been married, the eldest of the two sons is sixteen, and the younger is twelve, all of whom came with the money shopkeeper Ben Jiang Xinyao.

Xin Yao looked at the money shopkeeper, medium stature, slightly fat, a pair of eyes with fine light, before speaking, he smiled first, he was a good way to be a shopkeeper.

Jiang Xinyao didn't say much, and directly told the money shopkeeper the truth.

"Money shopkeeper, I finally looked forward to you, I don't have much time, let's get down to business. Presumably Jiang Quan has already informed you of my thoughts, what do you think about the money shopkeeper about wages and profits? ”

Qian Jincai said with a smile: "Miss, you are really fast-talking, I have been following the master for more than 20 years, the master has always trusted me, and there has never been any disadvantage in money and silver, I am already very satisfied with only my salary." ”

Jiang Xinyao said with a smile: "Money shopkeeper, I believe in my grandfather's vision of people, you can follow your grandfather for all these years, you must have something extraordinary, I give you this profit, it is not for nothing, to put it cheesy, I want you to help me make money." I earn more, you take more, and when it comes to it, I still take advantage of it. If you earn less, you will also take less, and it depends on the ability of the money shopkeeper. ”

Qian Jincai smiled and said: "Miss thinks so highly of me, I should go down, Miss rest assured, we can't help the shop in the capital, we can only watch it not make money." If the shop in Suzhou Mansion is really like what Quan Ye said, my old money must do my best. ”

Jiang Xinyao said with a smile: "I believe in you, there are still many details now, I need to talk about them in detail, the money shopkeeper will go to wash up first, eat something, nourish his spirits, and wait until he has the strength to do things, right?" ”

Qian Jincai smiled and withdrew.

That night, in a room in Zhuangzi, the candles were bright, Jiang Xinyao sat at the top, Jiang Quan, Jiang Fu, and the money shopkeeper sat on the left and right, with a solemn expression.

Jiang Xinyao saw that there were all the people, and motioned for Yinggui to serve the tea, and after everyone tasted the tea, Fang said: "It's rare to get together today, everyone is together, let's talk about the shop in detail." Money shopkeeper, the shop is scheduled to open on the eighth day of the first month of April, I discussed it with the whole master, and it will be called Jinjue Pavilion. You are the shopkeeper of this shop, and you take care of everything. Of course, your main task will be to receive VIPs on the second floor. Fauber gives you a hand, and you point to him.

Fu Bo, from now on, in addition to the old house, the most important thing in Zhuangzi is to learn skills from the money shopkeeper, the money shopkeeper has been in this industry for more than ten years, and the vision of looking at people and things is not ordinary, you have to respect it. You are responsible for the account of the shop.

Master Quan, the hardest person here is you, you are mainly responsible for the purchase of rough stones, the polishing of jade, and the cultivation of jade masters, which are the most important things.

To put it simply, the money shopkeeper is responsible for the front court, Fu Bo is in charge of the accounts, and the back field is controlled by the whole master. The goods shipped out of the backyard were handed over by the master and the money shopkeeper, and each had a record. The goods out of the front field, the money shopkeeper and Fu Bo handed over, and the last shop silver was handed over by Fu Bo and Quan Ye. The master only needs to take the manifest and the account book to reconcile, and it will be clear, what do the three of you think? ”

The three of them looked at each other and did not speak.

Xin Yao said again: "Fu Bo, you let the clever guys I let you choose, you let the money shopkeeper pick first." The rest will follow you, ready for the future. ”

The money shopkeeper was taken aback, the fourth lady in front of him, with bright eyes and bright teeth, picturesque eyebrows, delicate and weak, what he said, but what he did was clearly organized, the division of labor was clear, and he was far-sighted, he didn't dare to underestimate it at the moment, and said in awe: "Miss, I have a reluctant request, the dog is sixteen this year, and has not achieved anything so far, he is honest and diligent, please Miss look at the bowl of rice to eat." ”

Xin Yao smiled knowingly and said, "Follow the whole master, the whole master is short of manpower." But the ugly words are ahead, follow the whole master can run from the south and the north, the hard work is certain, if you can't bear the hardship, it's better to take advantage of it. ”

When the money shopkeeper heard this, he was so shocked that he knelt down. In the jade industry, every joint is very important, and anyone can be the shopkeeper, but not everyone can look at the stone. Qian Jincai burst into tears and said straightly: "Miss Xie's great grace." ”

Jiang Xinyao motioned to Jiang Quan to help him up, and said, "Money shopkeeper, don't thank me, everything depends on him." As for me, there is also a request here, that is, the money shopkeeper has a good ability, but he can't hide it privately, I can hand it over to you Fu Bo and those guys, and in two years, I will let them go out of the school. I have to take a long-term view, I don't think about a store, don't let me be short of staff when the time comes. ”

Miss Qian Jincai's secret path is amazing, give first and ask later, she is really a person.
