"If you could see it, how could those people cheat? It is said that these carvings have legends and hidden secrets. But the easiest thing for ordinary people to distinguish is that this wooden sign is invulnerable to water and fire."
Su Yizhao expressed that he had learned a lot, "Then what material is this wooden sign made of?"
"It should be a kind of wood from the Western Regions. It is said to be very valuable. It is invulnerable to water and fire. However, when it is made, the outer layer is also painted with special waterproof and fire-retardant paint." Su Wenqing pointed to the black wood sign.
Su Yizhao looked at the wooden sign in his hand again. He didn't expect that this thing, which looked inconspicuous, could be so exquisitely made.
"But some fake ones can do this now. A layman won't be able to tell the difference just by looking at the appearance!" Su Wenqing waved his hand.
"Is this brand easy to get?" Su Yizhao felt that such a brand must be a symbol of status.
"There are only sixteen pieces in total!" Su Wenqing said with a bit of pride on his face.
It seems like there is quite a lot of power behind this Wenwen Pavilion! Such a brand makes people flock to it.
"Can our Su family get one too?"
Su Yizhao felt that although the Su family was an official family, there were many powerful people in the capital! There were only sixteen pieces, how could the Su family be ranked high?
"Do you think this one relies on our Su family?" Su Wenqing sneered.
He continued: "Even if the Su family really has it, it will not be in the hands of your father or me."
Su Yizhao nodded, this is indeed the truth!
"This is a bet I made with someone for my father. If that person loses, he loses to me." A smile appeared on Su Wenqing's face, showing how much of an advantage this was.
Can I ask what the bet is? Can I pick one up?
Nothing else, Su Yizhao just wanted to see who was so stupid? Or maybe he was rich and didn't care.
"Is holding a black wooden card just a status symbol? Are there other benefits?"
Su Yizhao returned the wooden sign. It was such a treasure, so don't lose it. She couldn't afford to pay for it!
"There are naturally many benefits! As long as you show this brand, whatever you need, they will come up with the best for you to choose from, and will give you a lot of discounts, it is said that you can save 20%. Even if they don't have it, as long as you need it, they will
I will try my best to get it for you."
Oh! It turns out it’s VIP treatment, and it’s even discounted!
"Then they only have the Blackwood brand? Are there other brands?" Su Yizhao remembered that the membership cards in his previous life were divided into levels! So he asked again.
"Of course there are, there are copper colors and white and silver colors, but these are more common."
Su Wenqing took a sip of tea as he spoke, and then didn't say much. Maybe it was because he was tired, but Su Yizhao also got a lot of information from this.
At this time, the shopkeeper had already entered the private room. He bowed and said to Su Wenqing: "Master, are you satisfied with these? You just choose, if you are not satisfied, the villain will bring more!"
Su Yizhao looked at the waiters filing in with trays behind him and couldn't help but be speechless.
This black wooden tablet is really powerful! Look, there are more than twenty kinds of brushes alone.
When Su Wenqing waited for the waiter to put the push plate on the table, he just glanced at it briefly and said: "These two wolf-hair pens, and these three purple-hair brushes, plus this one!"
When the shopkeeper saw this, he suddenly smiled and said, "The master is really discerning, these are the best ones here. You see, the three Zihao pens come in a set, and the pen barrel is made of Zizhu!"
Su Yizhao immediately looked over and found that these three bottles were of different sizes and were kept separately, so they were probably not cheap.
"Humph! Zizhu is not that rare either." Su Wenqing chuckled, with more of a careless look on his face.
The shopkeeper cursed in his heart. He didn't know what his identity was. He was probably not lowly enough to even look down on him. He seemed to be well-informed.
After all, Su Wenqing was a young master from an aristocratic family and often went out for banquets, so he still had some perspective.
"Yes! You are well-informed, so you won't find it strange." The shopkeeper became more cautious when facing Su Yizhao. This man must be a picky boss.
"These two wolf hair pens are made of real wolf tails, not weasels, and are not easy to break. Look at these two pens, they are made of polished wolf bones."
Hearing the shopkeeper's introduction, Su Yizhao suddenly remembered that he had picked up a lot of wolf bones in the rhubarb cave before, and finally put them all into the fur and sold them.
He didn't know how much money this Langhao pen cost, but Su Yizhao had a hunch that he must have made a loss on the sale.
As the shopkeeper spoke, he placed the single brush pointed by Su Wenqing in front of him, "This one is the treasure of our store! It is extremely precious!"
When Su Yizhao heard this, he immediately came over and saw that the penholder was engraved with a cloud bat. It was dark and he didn't know what material it was made of.
Looking at the pen tip again, Su Yizhao studied it for a long time, hmm! Okay! She was not proficient in these things, so she didn't see anything made by Mao.
"This pole should be rhino horn, right?" Su Wenqing guessed.
The shopkeeper was shocked when he heard this, "The master is really knowledgeable, indeed! It is made of rhinoceros horn. Its nib is made of both hair and hair, three wolves and seven purples, moderately soft and hard!"
Su Yizhao gained a lot of knowledge after listening to the shopkeeper's introduction to the functions and materials of these pens.
The pens used for calligraphy and painting are also different, and the writing fonts also need to be distinguished. If the family is poorer, I'm afraid they won't be able to be so particular.
"Is the young master going to school? I might as well give him a choice. I specially selected some that the young master needs."
The shopkeeper was very discerning. He glanced at Su Yizhao and guessed that the two people were father and son.
Su Wenqing nodded, and then Su Wenqing selected a few more pens. Su Yizhao listened to his introduction while selecting.
"You are a beginner at calligraphy and painting. The ones I just chose are not suitable for you and you don't need them. I will choose some for you. Once you become proficient, these pens will no longer be usable!"
"Thank you father!"
Su Yizhao was surprised that Su Wenqing was willing to spend money on herself. After all, when she used his things before, Su Wenqing was very reluctant to do so.
Now Su Yizhao felt that Su Wenqing was the son of a noble family and didn't seem to care about money.
After watching him choose several square inkstones and several pieces of fine ink, Su Yizhao couldn't sit still.
Don’t run out of money. How will you live after returning to your hometown?
After picking some more paint, Su Wenqing gave up!
"Bring some good paper, these are for daily use only!"
Su Wenqing glanced at the paper on the table with disgust. After being deceived by this old son last time into taking ten pieces of paper, he has been feeling distressed to this day.
The shopkeeper immediately said: "There is rice paper made secretly in our pavilion..."
"That's it. Get a knife first!"
When Su Wenqing heard that there was secretly made rice paper here, he was immediately overjoyed and immediately asked the shopkeeper to make arrangements.
Su Yizhao remembered that the last time Su Wenqing said this paper was worth one tael of silver, he felt heartbroken.
She hesitated to speak, but when she saw the shopkeeper's cheerful expression, she didn't know how to speak.
After all, they are Blackwood Card users, and this father has the best face. If she loses her face in front of the shopkeeper, she will definitely not be spared lightly when she returns.
