Chapter 41 No one can refuse blue and white porcelain

Zhang Peng stepped off the stage and was replaced by dancers and musicians from the Western Regions, and the melodious and cheerful music and graceful dance brought the atmosphere of the conference back to a relaxed and happy state from the previous tension.

As a Persian prince, Xerxes lived a life of exile since he was a child, but he still ate a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and after recently coming to the region of Great Xia, he was deeply obsessed with this elegant way of eating with two bamboo sticks.

Remembering the bad habit of eating with his hands at every turn, he was very annoyed, why didn't he practice eating with chopsticks well, and today he was going to dine with Lady Latise, if she saw that Prince Ben couldn't use chopsticks, would she be very disgusted?

A place like the Western Regions doesn't need the rules of the Central Plains, what kind of meal sharing system, what kneeling and sitting to eat, all of them are allowed!

In his understanding, only the big drama is sung on the stage, the rows of large round tables below, benches, relatives and friends are gathered together, cold dishes and hot dishes are served together, pulling up the pockets and folding them in, and they are coaxed to be snatched up before they have eaten the dishes.

That's what it's called a feast! The rest are not enough.

But when this idea was first proposed, it was ruthlessly suppressed by Ms. Xu Wanyi, if it really followed Zhang Peng's idea, then she would not have the face of Beiting City and the County Lord's Mansion!

Zhang Peng had no choice but to pout, only thinking that the ancient people had no knowledge and did not understand the happiness of our modern people eating banquets.

So the carpenters in the army, who had just finished making the ploughs, the carts, and the waterwheels, suffered again.

Under the coercion of the ruthless county master, these craftsmen were forced to work overtime again to build mahogany chairs, round-faced Liangyi Eight Immortals and round rotating tabletops according to the drawings given by Zhang Peng.

Originally, the craftsmen were sad, but after taking Zhang Peng's drawings, they all became very excited and restless, and asked vigorously whether they could build and sell their own products according to the model of this kind of table and chair in the future.

Zhang Peng has never cared much about this kind of technology without scientific and technological content, and nodded and agreed to the request of the craftsmen, he felt that it was a bit too much to let the craftsmen work without sleep for more than a month, and decided to give them some overtime pay as compensation.

But after the craftsmen heard about the reward of the county master, they quit one after another, and went on strike in the workshop, Zhang Peng asked Ge Shuyan, who was responsible for distributing overtime pay, what was going on.

The result is that these craftsmen are very dissatisfied with Zhang Peng's overtime pay, they are originally responsible for building tools and equipment for the county lord's mansion, and the county horse has already given them the blueprints that they can heirloom and get rich, if they receive additional rewards from the county horse, then they will not become wolf-hearted people who take advantage of the lack of enough?

This can make Zhang Peng stunned, he heard for the first time that employees refused to compensate for overtime, he tried to communicate with the craftsmen, this money was given by him in order to reward everyone, and everyone took it with peace of mind.

As a result, the leading craftsmen were as bad as the stones in the pit, not only did they not appreciate it, but they threw a sack of overtime compensation money on Ge Shuyan's head, and then slammed the door of the workshop shut, making Zhang Peng touch his nose.

What the hell is going on? Pulling Ge Shuyan, who was going to work hard with the master craftsman, returned to the county lord's mansion and told Xu Wanyi about this matter, Xu Wanyi even felt that Zhang Peng was not doing it right, what kind of reward should not be too heavy, anything is too much, craftsmen also have their own dignity, you Zhang Jun Ma Qiang gave a reward, in fact, you are trampling on their professional ethics and human dignity.

Zhang Peng's mind was shocked, and for the first time, the worldview of later generations burst into a crack in the simple value system of the eighth century.

So there is a delicate chair under the seat of the wealthy merchants in the Western Regions today, Zhang Peng touched the chair under his buttocks, and remembered the look of the damn old craftsman who looked at people with his nostrils when he put the chair in front of him, not to mention Ge Shuyan, even he himself had the urge to step forward and give him an old fist.

As a result, she didn't have time to launch the "fuel consumption heel", but Xu Wanyi stepped forward with a smile and said kind words to appease the stubborn old man craftsman, rewarded the cloth and food, and rewarded the old man's son with an errand, and finally in Zhang Peng's stunned, the stubborn old man was grateful to Dade and kowtowed to Xu Wanyi, but when he left, he bitterly persuaded Zhang Peng not to do this ridiculous thing again.

What is this, I, Zhang Peng, have suffered and suffered, and all the benefits and fame have been given to you Xu Wanyi?

Thinking of this, Zhang Peng's high-spirited spirit when he had just defeated the Western Regions group of merchants suddenly disappeared.

The students of the Agricultural Research Institute quickly cleaned up the refreshments and lists on the table, and then began to arrange the tableware one after another.

The delicate porcelain tableware shimmered in the bright glazed light, and in the horrified eyes of the crowd, the students placed these treasures in front of the merchants.

Even Xerxes was delighted to see this kind of azure vein, evenly glazed porcelain, this set of cutlery included a dinner plate, a soup bowl, a teacup, a wine cup, a spoon, a pair of porcelain wooden chopsticks, his mouth was full of praise, he picked up the exquisite glass and looked at it repeatedly.

Li Xiao is not much better, as the prince of Great Xia, he has seen a wide variety of fine porcelain, but today's one is really unseen, he couldn't help but glance at Zhang Peng.

"Brother-in-law, this porcelain is also produced by our two factories?"

Zhang Peng glanced at Li Xiao angrily and said: "With it, with Liuli, the two factories will become the fourth factory, why do you ask so much, just wait for dinner." ”

He stroked the blue and white porcelain in his hand, and the corners of his mouth were also slightly smiling, who knew that he originally just wanted to build a cement factory and a brick factory, but he harvested the second father and son, the father and son are terrible, the son likes to toss blindly, and the glass was tossed out, Lao Tzu likes to study hard, and the blue and white porcelain prototype was burned out.

With the completion of the arrangement of blue and white porcelain tableware, the merchants in the field fell into an endless hustle and bustle, among which the admirers of the offer, the dementia of the cup, the porcelain laughers, and the prayers abounded, anyway, there are few normal.

Zhang Peng looked at their ugliness one by one and shook his head slightly.

And Feng Yuxi, who was sitting in the attic on the second floor, couldn't stand anymore at this time, because just now, a handsome junior student brought him a desk and a chair, as well as a set of equally exquisite blue and white porcelain tableware.

Feng Yuxi just glanced at it, touched it, and then closed his eyes painfully: "As soon as the blue and white porcelain came out, the court's strategy became a joke." ”

He knew very well that in the Western Regions of this era, the porcelain produced in Great Xia was an international hard currency, and the rich merchant assassins were more precious than gold and silver, and there was no merchant who walked the Silk Road who did not dream of buying exquisite porcelain from Great Xia and selling it to distant Europa, as long as he succeeded once, it was enough to double his worth!

No merchant from the Western Regions would refuse the porcelain of Great Xia, let alone the unprecedentedly exquisite blue and white porcelain in his hand!

What soap, what new clothing, these things that are not popularized can naturally have a way to resist, but if you say that you want to boycott porcelain?

Are you talking nonsense with your eyes open?

"Since Zhang Junma knows that the old man is here, why did he send someone to serve the old man for so long!" Feng Yuxi's face was stiff.

"Jun Ma Ye said, your old man and him have a different position today, I am afraid that it will be unpleasant to meet, as for why the junior came to serve you so late, it was also explained by Jun Ma Ye, saying that it is enough for you to calm down, and I will come in again."

Feng Yuxi......
