"Glasses? The glass is as warm as jade, and the glass is as transparent as water. What a fetish, what a fetish! ”

Lu Yuchang seemed to have seen a rare treasure, and played with a small wine glass carefully and frantically.

Sure enough, before the flooding of glass, this kind of thing was much more attractive than jade cups and glass cups.

In the following days, life went on as usual, Li Hao walked between Zhen'an Wangfu and Zhuque Street every day, and occasionally friends in the palace came out to play with him.

At noon that day, Li Hao was taking a nap, and the black egg suddenly knocked on the door of Li Hao's bedroom.

"Owner, the news is here!"

Li Hao woke up slowly, opened the door with a tired face and let the black egg in.

"It's the same as Lu Gongzi said, the pottery competition is really reopened this year!"

Black Egg said excitedly.

"What the hell is a pottery contest?" Li Hao asked with a snort.

"Don't you know, the owner of the palace, tens of thousands of people live in the inner courtyard of the palace, from His Majesty the Emperor to the sprinklers and sweepers, all of whom need to eat, and the demand for ceramic utensils is huge. The palace, everything used has to be the best, how can it be casual? So there was this pottery competition. ”

"There is no exact time for the pottery competition, and every time there is a need for large-scale replacement of ceramics in the palace, the national pottery family will be notified six months in advance to participate. Those who finish first in the competition will have the opportunity to supply the palace with utensils. ”

"Didn't you just say that? The demand for the palace is already large, plus to do things for the official family, the reputation will also start, at least before the next pottery competition, you are the first in Datang, and there must be an endless stream of people to cooperate. ”

Li Hao finally understood what this pottery competition was for: "In this way, the one who won the pottery competition last time was compared to this Xingyang Zheng family, right?" ”

"Not only last time, but they are the ones who win every time! So in the past few years, the Zheng family has made a lot of money by burning paper porcelain in the palace! ”

"Hmph, there are no enemies in a single family, but it doesn't help the growth of ceramic technology, it's time to teach them a lesson!"

Li Hao sneered and drank the tea.

"Young master, young master, there is a situation on the street!" Wan'er also ran in at this time and shouted to Li Hao.

Li Hao was in good spirits, immediately got up and freshened up, and took a few people to the street.

I saw that the street was particularly lively today, and the passers-by were injured, almost all of them were holding a few cups, teapots and other utensils.

These porcelains have a uniform texture and delicate patterns, and they are of the highest quality at first glance.

"Ouch, the Zheng family's ceramics business is really good. I almost didn't even get it. ”

"Yes, yes, there has only been such an opportunity for several years, but I can't miss it, if I don't have enough money, I have to buy a few more sets of tea sets."

"This porcelain is so beautiful, like a work of art, I can't even use it when I buy it."

"Yes, it seems that this pottery competition must be won easily by the Zheng family."

"Do you need to talk about that?"

Several girls walked together and walked past Li Hao and the others.

Li Hao couldn't help but admire: "Is this Zheng family's porcelain really so popular? ”

"The national porcelain is respected by the Zheng family! I heard from my grandfather that every time there is a pottery competition, the people of Chang'an City are also eligible to participate in the voting and choose their favorite ceramic utensils. Therefore, before the start of each competition, major pottery vendors will come to Chang'an City to sell, but every time it is the Zheng family's best business! ”

"Good guys!" Li Hao sighed again: "What a marketing move, lower the shelves, attract customers with good quality and low price, leave a good impression in the hearts of customers, and win an advantage for the follow-up competition!" It's really worthy of the Zheng family! ”

"Young Master, what should we do? Do you want to put a batch of goods out as well? ”

"No, go back to sleep, isn't there still a few days left in the pottery competition?"

Li Hao snorted, turned around and returned to the palace.

The Zheng family's mansion in Chang'an.

Zheng Yingcai sat on the main seat and drank tea, flanked by the bosses of the Zheng family's major shops in Chang'an.

"Report! Young Master Zheng! "A guy came running from the door.

"Say!"

"In accordance with your instructions, at noon today, we guided the people of Chang'an to walk in front of the Zhen'an Palace."

"What is the reaction of Li Hao, the king of Zhen'an?"

"King Zhen'an...... There was no response, and he only spoke a few words to his maid and servant, and then went back to sleep. We have also been sending people to keep an eye on Suzaku Street, and we have not seen any new products on the shelves. ”

"No reaction at all?"

Zheng Yingcai frowned and fell into deep thought.

With his understanding of Li Hao, this guy won't be able to see that the Zheng family is targeting him, and with Li Hao's character, how can he not fight back?

"Keep watching, anything will be reported at any time!" After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of a reason, so Zheng Yingcai simply gave up.

After all, this is a pottery competition, what if Li Hao has no plans to enter the ceramic industry at all? There are many opportunities to fight with Li Hao, so there is no need to rush for a while.

Zheng Yingcai will not be like Wang Qingyuan, eager to separate the winner from Li Hao, ignoring what he has to do, and in the end not only failed miserably, but was also taken advantage of by Li Hao. Zheng Yingcai was very calm, he knew that his first priority when he came to Chang'an was to win the championship of this pottery competition for the Zheng family.

"How's the preparation for the pottery contest?"

"Back to the young master, our entries are ready and are being kept in the warehouse, and there will be no problems!"

"Very well, but what about the other merchants?"

"There are not a few new faces this year, they are all old opponents. The Yang family in Beishan Forging Valley, the Ding family in Hedong, and the Nangong family outside the territory. ”

"The defeated generals dare to come and sacrifice their ugliness!" Zheng Yingcai snorted coldly: "According to the original plan, give them a lesson, let them know what to do and what not to do!" ”

"Yes!" Several shopkeepers smiled evilly.

At night, Li Hao slept all afternoon, and at night he was sleepy, so he took Wan'er to the night market to hang out.

The night market is different from the white market, there are often some strange things here, and many small things make Li Hao can't help but be amazed.

After walking around for a while, Li Hao finally felt a little tired, and was about to go home to sleep, but he heard a noise in front of him.

Li Hao became interested and walked over quickly. He wondered in his heart, in Chang'an City today, there are still people who dare to cause trouble, don't you know how to write the four words of the Tang Law?

Passing through the crowd, I found that there was a porcelain stall inside, and a man and a woman were restrained by two villains. Another sharp-mouthed man with a goatee was throwing the porcelain from his stall on the ground.

"Bang bang bang!" There was a muffled sound, and the ground was already full of ceramic shards.

"This one doesn't work, this one is even worse, this kind of thing is embarrassed to participate in the pottery competition, it's far from the Zheng family's porcelain, so let's go home early, don't be embarrassed here!"

"Stop, why do you say that my porcelain is rotten, why do you drop my porcelain!"

The man struggled frantically, his eyes red and roaring at the goatee. But he is thin and small, and wherever he is the opponent of the villain, he can't break free from the shackles.

The goatee smiled treacherously: "How do you do it rotten, don't you want to say it?" Don't you let it be smashed if it's bad? With your pottery-making skills, it's simply a discredit to the potter, and I smashed your things to eliminate harm for the people! ”

As he spoke, the goatee raised his hand and smashed a ceramic horse with surprising workmanship.
