Jia Min's Counterattack

Chapter 133 Jiang Lao

"From what this lady said, she should know a lot about lacquerware!"

"Don't dare to play with an ax in front of the old man. The little lady just likes lacquerware, especially the lacquerware made by Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Qianli was very glad that he came to the shop today on a whim, otherwise he would not have met someone like Jia Min who really knows how to appreciate his works.

"Thank you, Madam, for your love! I'm pretty good at eating with just this little skill! If you two don't mind, how about having tea in the back hall with me?"

"You are welcome, sir! Please, sir!" Lin Ruhai turned sideways to let Jiang Qianli go first, and the husband and wife followed Jiang Qianli through the hall of the shop and came to the back hall.

Several people took priority, Mo Lan and Wei Zi stood behind Jia Min, while Lin Quan and Lin Bang stood beside Lin Ruhai.Jiang Qianli asked Lin Ruhai and Jia Min to serve the best tea. Lin Ruhai took a sip and nodded, "Good tea! Good water! This should be Longjing tea brewed from Longjing water."

"Young master is also a tea lover! You can tell the origin of this tea and this water after just one sip. I admire you! I wonder if you can disclose your name conveniently?"

"Under Lin Ruhai! This is my wife!"

"Young master Lin, are you from the Lin family in Suzhou?"

"Exactly!"

"Master Lin, can you recognize Mr. Lin who is the emperor's tutor in the capital?"

"It is the late father without a doubt!"

"This... When did Lord Lin die?" Jiang Qianli asked anxiously with a look of sadness.

"My late father has been dead for almost six years!"

"Oh! Master Lin is an admirable Confucian! His talent, learning and conduct are indeed a model for the world!"

"The old man and my late father were old acquaintances?"

"I was able to research some screw lacquerware, which was also inspired by Mr. Lin. I wanted to spread the matter, but Mr. Lin disagreed. He only said that it was my credit and had nothing to do with him! Let me always I feel ashamed of Master Lin!"

"My late father was a man who was indifferent to fame and fortune, so don't worry too much about it, old man!"

"Why did Mr. Lin come to Yangzhou?"

"Lin was on his way from the capital to Suzhou, and passed by Yangzhou. My wife was very yearning for the lacquerware made by the old man, so I decided to stop the boat in Yangzhou for a day and make a special trip to visit the old man. I didn't expect that my husband and I had such a good relationship with him. , I met the old gentleman as soon as I entered the store."

"Haha! But it's really destined! I wanted to go to the shop on a whim today, but it was God who invited me to meet the son of an old friend next time! From Mr. Lin, I think you must be the new one. Suzhou knows the state!"

"It's Lin!"

"Young master Lin is really young and worthy, he looks like a father!"

"The old man has won the prize!"

"Since you two are here, I have made a few new pieces of lacquerware, how about you come out and let the two of you appreciate it?"

"Of course it's good, my husband and I can feast our eyes!" Lin Ruhai said while looking at Jia Min with a smile, and Jia Min's eyes lit up.

"Mr. Jiang! My husband and I are here this time, and I would like to ask you to help me make a complete set of lacquerware. I wonder if the old man has time?"

Jiang Qianli stroked his beard and thought for a moment, "I still have one unfinished item on hand. If Lin Ruren is not in a hurry, I can make it for my wife myself!"

"We are not in a hurry. The old man can make it slowly. The young lady also knows that the production of this lacquerware is very complicated. If the old man can accept it, we husband and wife are already very grateful!" Jia Min said.

"Your Madam, you are welcome! As long as Mr. Lin is the successor of Boss Lin, I will not refuse. Madam is an expert, and I will definitely use all my life's experience and knowledge on the lacquerware made for Madam!"

"Then thank you, sir!"

"I don't know what kind of utensils the lady wants to make?"

"Oh! Women's dressing utensils, screens, inkstones, vases, tableware, snack boxes, and small tea pots. Old sir, isn't it a bit too much?"

"It's quite a lot! Madame is going to buy a dowry for her daughter! Such a complete set of lacquerware is very valuable!"

Lin Ruhai glanced at Jia Min with a smile at this time, and said to Jiang Qianli: "Just do it slowly, old man. My husband and I don't need it for the time being. As long as the lacquerware produced is exquisite, silver is not a problem."

Jiang Qianli saw that they really didn't seem to care about money, so he agreed, "I will give Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin a fair price, and I will never charge you two more money."

Lin Ruhai shook his head and said: "We are very grateful that the old man is willing to personally make this set of lacquerware for us. Lin also knows the rules. If the old man lowers his wages, it will break the rules of the Yangzhou lacquerware industry. You can charge as much as you want, I just hope that the old man can seriously make this set of lacquerware!"

Jiang Qianli took a deep look at Lin Ruhai, and felt that he not only had the elegance of his father, but also the decisiveness that his father did not have, so he couldn't help sighing in his heart: This person is absolutely extraordinary!There is a character in the Lin family, why worry about not prospering from generation to generation!

At this time, the shopkeeper and a waiter came in with two trays, and put the two trays on the table next to the boss.

Jiang Qianli glanced at the lacquer wares on the tray, frowned and said, "Where's the mother-of-pearl gold square box that I just asked someone to bring?"

"My lord! The small mother-of-pearl gold square box was brought here, but in the lobby, I met the eldest wife of the salt merchant Liu's family and the fifth girl of their family, and they took the things away!"

The eldest wife of the Liu family and her daughter, the fifth girl of the Liu family, both Lin Ruhai and Jia Min still remember them, because ten years later, the eldest wife of the Liu family gave Lin Ruhai two skinny horses, and the fifth girl of the Liu family, Zhen Yingjia's third son will be home soon.This mother and daughter are of the same virtue, they are both masters who are used to pushing the high and stepping down, tending to the power, and bullying the weak.Lin Ruhai didn't want to cause extra problems, so he said, "Old man, since the mother-of-pearl gold square box has been favored first, let's choose from here."

Jiang Qianli also knows that the Liu family has been attached to the Zhen family all year round, and has often used the power of the Zhen family to bully others in Yangzhou, and the fifth girl of the Liu family has already engaged to the third young master of the Zhen family. Now in Yangzhou city, no one Do not avoid its edge.Jiang Qianli sighed and said: "That square box is my favorite work. I wanted to find an owner who really understands it. Alas... Come and see if you like these lacquerware?"

Jia Min walked over, picked up every piece of lacquerware on the table and looked at it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and he couldn't put it down.
