Chapter 528: The Greater the Hope, the Greater the Disappointment

Man.

Regardless of his status, he always has a lot of fantasies about women.

Especially those women who have legendary stories.

As long as it is a normal man, he will definitely imagine this woman as a rare peerless beauty.

It's just that......

The ideal is very full, but the reality is often cruel.

Lao Zhu is not the kind of hungry ghost in color, as long as he sees a beautiful woman, he wants to be included in his harem.

But since hearing this blue shopkeeper, he has always subconsciously regarded the other party as a beauty.

At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang regarded the blue shopkeeper as an old bustard in the green building.

Such women are often popular girls who have retired from the Qinglou, and their appearance is basically not much different.

After hearing about Lan Yunfeng's various deeds, I felt more and more that this woman must be a beautiful woman.

Later, I arrived at Lan Yunzhai and heard the soft voice of the blue shopkeeper.

Zhu Yuanzhang's imagination of this woman's appearance has become more and more three-dimensional.

Can......

When Zhu Yuanzhang really saw Lan Yunfeng, he was a little dumbfounded.

This woman's height is very tall, almost as tall as Lao Zhu.

His skin is dark, and the clothes on his body are not so gorgeous.

Depending on the age, at least about forty years old.

Although it gives people a shrewd and capable feeling, the appearance is really not that beautiful.

Basically, it's no different from an ordinary village woman in the countryside.

The only thing that impresses people is probably her voice, which is extremely inconsistent with her appearance.

Bang la blah.

Lao Zhu seemed to be able to hear that there seemed to be some shattering sound in his heart.

It's not that Lao Zhu has any thoughts about this blue shopkeeper, it's just a normal reaction of a normal man.

As the emperor, of course Lao Zhu would not put any emotions on his face.

Although there are many thoughts in my heart.

But when facing Lan Yunfeng, there was no change in his face from beginning to end.

Instead, he laughed: "I didn't expect to meet the blue shopkeeper in this kind of place, fortunately, fortunately!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang had a large number of Lan Yunfeng, Lan Yunfeng was also looking at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Lao Zhu is not a handsome guy, but he naturally has a faint aura of a superior on his body.

Although Lao Zhu hid it well, Lan Yunfeng was still vaguely aware of the good man.

What surprised Lan Yunfeng the most was Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards her.

It's not that Lan Yunfeng feels good about herself.

Now she is also a popular figure in Yanjing City.

It is almost second only to Zhang Fengnian, who was the first to obtain the patent law and became one of the richest people in Yanjing in a short period of time.

has a big reputation, and now he has to show up to do business, so it is inevitable that there will be more people to see.

But most of the men Lan Yunfeng has seen, when they see him for the first time, no matter how well they hide it, they can't help but have a disappointed look in their eyes.

Regarding his appearance, Lan Yunfeng is naturally clear.

She is not a peerless beauty, not even beautiful, let alone a lady.

At the beginning, Lan Yunfeng's heart was more or less unhappy.

These men are all virtuous.

She's not a peerless beauty, I'm really sorry for you.

But then, she got used to it.

For Lan Yunfeng, surviving with this group of weak women is the first priority.

As for the rest, whatever others think.

Anyway, no matter what they think, they won't lose a piece of meat after all, as long as they can do business with her.

The more such people she saw, the more numb Lan Yunfeng became.

At the beginning, she didn't have the idea of finding a more reliable man to marry.

After all, in this era, if a woman wants to support her family business without the help of a man, it is definitely a hellish level of difficulty.

But gradually, Lan Yunfeng also completely gave up.

But there was basically no man she came into contact with for the first time who was not disappointed in his appearance.

Such a person, how dare Lan Yunfeng entrust himself and the women up and down this workshop to him?

It's not without a lot of enthusiasm for her.

But for this kind of man, Lan Yunfeng soon found out that their purpose was simply for money, as well as for their own workshop.

So in the end, Lan Yunfeng was completely dead.

A group of women manage the workshop, and it is a little hard, but at least there is no need to guard against some people with ulterior motives.

The strange-looking man in front of him was the first man who didn't show disappointment after seeing her.

"The little woman just happened to want to go to the workshop, but she didn't expect to meet Mr. just after going out."

"I don't know what you call this gentleman?"

I have to say that although her appearance can only be regarded as average, Lan Yunfeng's voice is definitely one of the best.

It's like a kitten meowing in a person's ear.

Without waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to speak, the housekeeper had already taken the initiative to speak: "The blue shopkeeper is a friend of our master, Mr. Chang."

The housekeeper in Liu Ji's mansion, how could Lan Yunfeng not know him.

It was because he saw him that Lan Yunfeng took the initiative to come over to talk.

And before coming out, Lan Yunfeng had actually observed the two of them once.

Don't look at it as just a housekeeper, but the housekeeper is also divided into three, six, nine and so on.

The housekeeper in the Prime Minister's Mansion, many court officials have seen it, and they have to be polite.

But according to Lan Yunfeng's observation, Liu Ji's housekeeper seemed to be very humble in front of the person in front of him.

As you can imagine, this person's identity is certainly not ordinary.

If it weren't for this, how could Lan Yunfeng take the initiative to come out to see Zhu Yuanzhang by himself?

She is now a well-known businessman in Yanjing, and she doesn't know how many things she has to do every day.

It's not like at the beginning, but whenever someone comes, you have to take the initiative to meet and greet you warmly.

"It turned out to be Mr. Chang, Mr. came to the shop, and my Lan Yunzhai is full of brilliance."

"Mr. Lan came here this time, not only what do you have to do, do you want to buy porcelain or?"

Lan Yunfeng felt that the person in front of him didn't look like he was doing business.

It's okay if you just come to buy some porcelain or something, but the most feared thing is ulterior motives.

Such people with ulterior motives, Lan Yunfeng has seen too much.

Seeing that a group of weak women were helpless, they immediately had evil thoughts.

Some want to take a stake in Lanyunzhai, and some even want to take away their formula directly.

Even worse, under the pretense of not knowing what kind of dirty and filthy it is.

Fortunately, with the British king here, those open guns and hidden arrows basically failed to do anything to them.

For King Zhu Han, Lan Yunfeng's heart was full of gratitude.

Without Zhu Han, their group might have starved to death long ago.

Even if you don't starve to death, I'm afraid you will go to a point of no return in order to survive.

Just when they were at their most desperate, His Royal Highness descended as if a god had descended from heaven.

A patent law that gives them hope of survival.

After that, I helped them more than once.

Many people with ulterior motives were easily driven away by King Zhu Han.

To be honest, if not self-aware of your looks. Lan Yunfeng couldn't help but wonder if it was useless for the King of England to help them like this.

Of course, all this is just Lan Yunfeng's cranky thoughts.

From Zhu Han's point of view, of course, he hopes to liberate women.

Of course, don't expect Zhu Han, a traverser, to really have any particularly noble sentiments.

One of the most important purposes for wanting to emancipate women is to bring more labor to the Ming Dynasty.

Maybe women are not as good as men in many physical tasks, but in many industries, women also have the benefits of women.

As long as those women are allowed to go out to work, Daming's productivity can be increased by at least a quarter.

In Lan Yunfeng's ceramic workshop, all the work is done by women.

What could be a better example than this?

For this kind of enterprise, Zhu Han is of course in favor of raising his hands and feet.

If it weren't for his position, it wouldn't be too appropriate to have a certain inclination.

Zhu Han simply wanted to give Lan Yunzhai the most comprehensive care.

However, in order to prevent Lan Yun Zhaishu from making a big splash, it caused too many businessmen to be dissatisfied. I'm afraid that if I give too much support, it will help the seedlings grow.

Therefore, Zhu Han was only on Yanjing's side, and the policy he formulated allowed to give Lan Yunzhai the greatest convenience.

Lao Zhu smiled: "The blue shopkeeper is too famous, the main purpose of our visit this time is to purchase a batch of porcelain, I don't know where the blue shopkeeper is, what samples are there?"

Hearing Lao Zhu say this, Lan Yunfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

Although in a fast place like Yanjing, the government is still relatively fair, and there is basically no need to worry about the occurrence of tricks and robberies.

However, if this doesn't happen, there will be a lot less trouble after all, right?

That's how doing business, no matter what, more friends, more roads, fewer enemies, fewer walls, isn't it?

Many people, if you ask him to do something, it will be absolutely difficult.

But......

But if they are asked to break a thing, a lot of times just a sentence is needed.

"Mr. Chang, please please inside, I have a good sample of Lanyunzhai in it, I don't know what Mr. Chang buys porcelain for?"

Zhu Yuanzhang followed behind Lan Yunfeng and slowly walked into Lan Yunzhai: "Most of them are usually used and placed, and some need to be purchased for gifting."

Nowadays, many people always boast about how many kinds of rules there are for foreigners.

Such a person is pure ignorance.

Speaking of etiquette, Huaxia is the most exquisite place in the world.

When Westerners eat, most of them still use their hands to grasp things, and the ancestors have already used knives and forks.

In the end, the ancestors abandoned it again, and the inconvenient tableware such as knives and forks was replaced by chopsticks.

Why?

Because during this period, the ancestors' eating habits have begun to be more refined.

For all kinds of dishes, the chef cooks them, cuts them into shapes that fit the mouth, and then eats them directly.

People who eat do not need to divide things by themselves, so it is suitable to use chopsticks.

Unlike Westerners, who simply do not have the ability to make exquisite food, they can only be served in large pieces, and the people who eat need to divide it themselves.

The same is true for everything you eat, and there are naturally more rules in other aspects.

Take porcelain as an example, it is divided into ritual vessels, funeral vessels, food utensils and so on...... There are many kinds of variety.

There are some representations that are not so strong, and there is no problem in rotating with each other.

But there are also many of them, which are strictly regulated, and they cannot be used indiscriminately at all.

Therefore, Lan Yunfeng must first ask clearly about the purpose of the porcelain purchased by the guests.

Otherwise, it's no joke.

If you make a mistake, the other party may even report it directly.

After learning that the porcelain purchased by Zhu Yuanzhang did not have any special use, Lan Yunfeng also reassured Zhu Yuanzhang to introduce the porcelain in his own store.

This Lanyunzhai porcelain is of course exquisite and abnormal to ordinary people.

But in Lao Zhu's eyes, many of the fired ones are still relatively rough.

Many patterns can be seen, and the level is relatively at the level of the passing line.

Compared with the Jingdezhen porcelain in the palace and Jingdezhen's tribute, it is not a little worse.

But the only thing is that even the porcelain in Jingdezhen is not comparable.

That's thin.

The same vase, the porcelain fired by Lan Yunzhai, is at least half thinner than Jingdezhen's.

If you have to compare, the porcelain in Jingdezhen is a majestic battlefield general with gold helmets and silver armor.

And Lan Yunzhai's porcelain is a boudoir woman who may not be so beautiful, but virtuous and gentle as water.

The first time he saw this kind of porcelain, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately liked it.

It's like people who are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and suddenly they eat very good green vegetable tofu.

Pick up the container, a celadon twig bowl used as a sample.

The pattern on this is indeed average, but it is thin and distressing.

Lao Zhu even had a feeling, as if he could directly crush this bowl with a little force.

After playing with it a few times, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh: "The blue shopkeeper is really a good craft, how did this porcelain bowl be burned so thin?"

Lan Yunfeng covered her lips and chuckled: "Mr. Chang, you have won the award, this is just a little inconspicuous secret recipe in our workshop."

Zhu Yuanzhang just asked casually, but he didn't really mean to explore other people's secret recipes.

After all, Lao Zhu didn't expect to burn porcelain to support his family.

Lan Yunfeng was asked about the secret recipe, and he didn't overreact nervously, just laughed and explained casually.

Really useful information, that is not a word revealed.

The most important thing is that when he said this, Lan Yunfeng did not feel complacent.

This alone is something that many men can't match.

Putting down the celadon twig bowl, Zhu Yuanzhang walked a few steps and was attracted by a vase.

In addition to being thin, the color of this colorful vase is extremely bright.

The peony flower on the front of the pot is extraordinarily luxurious, and it looks like a real peony.

"This color ......" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The porcelain of this Lanyunzhai is not as good as some workshops that have been inherited for a long time such as Jingdezhen.

But in some individual ways, it's really outstanding.
