Chapter 405 It’s all a routine
Of course, with how elusive Luo Luo is now on Zhuangzi, Chen Dongyue will never be able to catch it easily.
Moreover, you can't stop it from eating.
Because if the monkey is deprived of food, he will go to the kitchen to eat.
Not only did he eat secretly for himself, he would also feed Song Zhigang.
But Song Zhigang has now grown into a heavy-duty truck, and Chen Dongyue really doesn't dare to let anyone, or an animal, feed Song Zhigang like this anymore.
Ever since, the matter of arresting Luo Luo and giving him a beating was dropped.
But this is not a big deal.
The most important thing now is to hide Liulichang well.
In addition, Chen Dongyue also asked Ji Chongning to return to the capital quickly to finalize the matter with Ai Min.
But Ji Chongning said there was no need to go back to the capital, and Ai Min would probably be able to arrive in Liaocheng tomorrow.
After all, the goods are all in Liaocheng. No matter what, Ai Min will come.
OK.
Chen Dongyue, who originally wanted to send this great master back to the capital, could only shut up.
as predicted.
The next day, Ai Min brought his caravan to Liaocheng.
When they met, Chen Dongyue was shocked by Ai Min.
I haven't seen him for about half a year, and Ai Min seems to be dehydrated, and her whole body is much shriveled than before.
But although this man was shriveled, he was still enthusiastic.
Seeing Chen Dongyue, Ai Min was very excited, like an Italian of later generations. While shaking her hand with all the fingers, she greeted Chen Dongyue with only one tone.
"Oh~~~Chen~~~~Hello~~~~~You look absolutely beautiful~~~~~But let's talk about business first~~~~"
Needless to say, although this person was attacked by a cuckold, his attitude towards life is still very positive.
I still know that I want to make money, but I haven’t given up on my life yet.
What a positive energy.
Chen Dongyue often likes people who are full of positive energy.
Moreover, Ai Min's way of doing things, without the need to exchange pleasantries and just get down to business, also won Chen Dongyue's heart.
So she took Ai Min to Jin Ning Fang without saying a word.
In addition, there are about twenty people in the cavalry team brought by Emin.
These twenty people were taken directly to the inn by Ji Chongning to rest.
At the inn, Yan Xingteng was already waiting with fifty guards from Prince Kang's Mansion.
If this deal is completed, when Chen Dongyue ships the goods, Yan Xingteng will escort Ai Min and send people and goods out of Jiacheng Pass.
Chen Dongyue took Ai Min to Jinningfang. Mancang and Chujiu, who came to greet people at the door, kept peeking at Ai Min and an assistant he brought with him curiously.
Although the skin color and hair color of these two great cannibals are not very different from those of the Great Rong Dynasty.
However, their facial features and eye color are quite different from those of the local people.
The key is that the two people are dressed like Taoist robes and cassocks, which makes them particularly eye-catching.
Mancang asked Chen Dongyue in a low voice, "Sister Dongyue, where did you deceive these two people?"
At this time, Song Bufan happened to come up to him.
He scolded Mancang, "Hey! What are you kidding about..." That's the truth!
Turning around, he said to Chen Dongyue: "Dongyue, these two are the guests from afar you mentioned yesterday, right? Come on, come on, please come upstairs, Boss Shang is already waiting upstairs."
"Okay." Chen Dongyue responded to Song Bufan, then looked around, and Ai Min, who saw golden eyes, said: "Mr. Ai Min, please~!"
Although Ai Min was reluctant to let go of the dazzling array of glass products in front of her, after Song Bufan said that the things above were better, she followed Chen Dongyue upstairs.
A few people reached the second floor, and sure enough, Boss Shang was already waiting at the door of the large private room.
To be honest, although Boss Shang has been doing business for many years, this is the first time he has done business with foreigners.
So he was somewhat nervous.
In addition, the weather in June is already quite hot, so Boss Shang's sweat is dripping down his forehead.
But as a qualified businessman, Boss Shang still forced a smile and said hello to Ai Min, "Hello, Mr. Ai, we welcome you from afar, but we welcome you from afar~~~~"
"Oh~~~~Hello~~~~~~But my surname is not Ai~~~~~~"
Ai Min is quite a strict person.
Chen Dongyue wanted to stop Boss Shang, but she heard that Boss Shang had already asked, "Do you know your surname?"
"Ibn Abdullah Aziz Hrasim Mbaye." Amin replied seriously.
........Boss Shang was stunned on the spot.
He felt as if his entire pores were sweating.
Song Bufan stretched his neck forward and asked in a low voice in disbelief: "Is it such a long... surname?"
Then if their children take part in the imperial examination, wouldn't it take a long time to write their names?
The key is such a long name, do they really remember it?
Fortunately, Ai Min was used to traveling around, so she didn't mind being asked this question by the two shopkeepers.
He laughed 'haha' and replied: "As long as you remember the names of your father, mother, grandparents, and grandmother, you can know your last name. This is very simple~~~~"
Song Bufan thought to himself.
Is that okay? ! Isn’t there more to remember? !
"When you see Mr. Ai Min from now on, just call him Mr. Ai Min," Chen Dongyue quickly interjected: "Every nation has its own habits. We don't need to delve into this."
If we dig deeper, this deal may be ruined.
After all, there are many differences between nations.
If you want to cooperate well, you must adhere to a principle.
That is seeking common ground while reserving differences.
The similarity between her and Amin is two words: making money.
Fortunately, Ai Min has been to many places and met many people, so she strongly agrees with Chen Dongyue's statement.
The two parties finally got into the private room.
At this time, two trays of glass products were already placed on the long table in the private room.
Small and exquisite, it has sixteen colors of colored glaze.
For large items, there are large glazed carp, large glazed golden ox and so on.
Seeing this, Ai Min forgot what he was doing here for a moment.
But it doesn't matter if he forgets, Chen Dongyue still remembers.
So Chen Dongyue asked Ai Min to focus on the three pieces of glass on the table.
"These three pieces of colored glaze are the latest colored glazes we have made. Take a look, Mr. Amin, which one do you want?
Once you decide on the color you want, we will immediately open the kiln and start firing for you. "
Ai Min fell in love with a piece of colorful glass at a glance, "Oh~~~~~This is so beautiful! I like this."
"Your taste is really good!" Chen Dongyue praised.
"The firing process of this colored glaze is the most complicated!" Song Bufan answered.
“If you want to successfully fire such colorful colors, in addition to technology, you also need a lot of luck.
Therefore, every piece of colorful glass is unique. "
Boss Shang, who had been standing at the ventilated door, couldn't help but interrupt.
In fact, what these three people said was not wrong.
Of course, there is indeed a bit of exaggeration.
However, the real part is not without it.
If you want to obtain different colors of colored glaze fired by the ancient method, you need to add different metal oxides during firing.
Each time the metal oxide added is different, the fired color will be different.
Depending on the time and amount of addition, the fired color will also be different.
Therefore, it is indeed difficult for each piece of colored glaze to have an exact second piece.
Of course, the difficulty... is actually not very different from firing ordinary colored glaze.
Even if the metal oxide is different, or the amount of it, the time of placement, or the time, the finished product made of colored glaze will be completely different.
The mountain produces glaze that is the color of shit.
Although Chen Dongyue said that thing can actually be called brown.
But Master Lu just stubbornly believed that that thing was just like shit.
Xiaohai has made bright yellow vases.
However, this thing cannot be sold at all, because it is yellow and can only be used by the emperor and empress.
In a word, the cost of firing colored glaze is high, not because the raw materials themselves are expensive.
It’s because the scrap rate is really a bit high.
Fortunately, Master Lu and the others have basically mastered the ratio of colored glazes.
If you want to mass-produce it in the future, the cost of each piece of colored glaze will probably be a few cents higher than ordinary ones.
But here in Ai Min, Chen Dongyue and the others definitely can't say that.
So when Ai Min asked about the price, Chen Dongyue pretended to be embarrassed and said: "It's really more troublesome to bake this glass than ordinary ones.
Mr. Ai Min, as you saw downstairs, I also sell ordinary colored glaze for fifty taels a piece, and a purchase threshold is required! "
"Yeah~~~~I saw it~~~" Ai Min nodded.
"But since you have come all the way, I don't want to offer you a price that is too high. Let's do this. A piece of colored glaze, fifty-five taels of silver, can't get any cheaper." After Chen Dongyue finished speaking, her face showed a look of reluctance to give up.
Ai Min gathered her right fingers again and shook her head repeatedly, "Oh~~~No, no, no, dear Chen~~~~Your price is really too expensive~~~~~I really can't accept it~ ~~~"
"Then you want ordinary colored glaze!" Chen Dongyue said: "I can make the decision. If you want more, I will give you forty taels a piece!"
"Dongyue!!" Song Bufan shouted, "We can't sell it at this price! It's not even enough for our cost!"
"Brother! What are you talking about!" Chen Dongyue pressed Song Bufan's button, "Mr. Ai Min came all the way here just to buy our goods.
Even if I don't make any money today, I still can't live up to Mr. Amin's trust in us! "
