Chapter 292 The exclamation from the old aunt (fourth update)
"Oh, Brother Lu still knows how to maintain a sweet and sweet relationship between husband and wife.
Then please ask Brother Lu to lead the way, and let’s quickly pick out a shop with skilled craftsmen.”
"By the way, Brother Lu, I have to follow my younger brother almost every day these days. Madam-in-law won't say anything, right?"
Hearing Gao Zhang mention his wife, Lu Qian laughed and said very confidently.
"My wife is a person who understands the general situation. How could she complain because a subordinate official is doing business?"
"Yes, Mrs. Sister-in-law is indeed a rare and virtuous wife. I really envy Brother Lu for being able to find such a good woman."
Suddenly, several of his followers also praised Lu Qian for finding a good wife.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen my sister-in-law for a long time, and we just happened to go to the jewelry store today.
Brother Lu won’t mind if you buy some jewelry as a gift for your wife, and stop by to bother you for dinner, right?”
"Brother, I have been greedy for Mrs. Sister-in-law's craftsmanship for a long time. When I think of the tofu made by Mrs. Sister-in-law, which is white and tender, mixed with green onions and coriander and a drop of sesame oil, I feel..."
"Mrs. Sister-in-law's craftsmanship has allowed us, the young master, to miss me for so long. Brother Lu, look at..."
"Okay, today Mr. Lu invites you all to go to the humble house and eat my wife's tofu."
As soon as these words came out, Gao Zhang, whose expression was full of expectation just now, almost walked over without holding his stomach.
Seeing Lu Qian's confused look, Gao Zhang quickly regained his serious expression.
"Yes, yes, what Brother Lu said is that after we go to the jewelry store, we will eat the tofu made by my wife."
Seeing Gao Zhang's weird expression and eyes, Lu Qian suddenly wanted to slap himself.
Why are you mentioning your beloved wife Huang? Why are you mentioning her? It is not easy for my little life to be a little calmer.
As a result, Gao Yanei actually started to beat snakes and stick them on him again, and came to the house again on the pretext of eating his beloved wife's tofu.
What if this guy has some evil plot against his wife? Should he kill her immediately, or should he just swallow his anger and be a coward?
"Brother Lu, Brother Lu, what are you doing? Hurry up and lead the way."
"Master, don't be anxious. I will lead the way right now."
Lu Qian could only suppress the complicated emotions in his heart, focus on his future and career first, and then continue to think about such scary and complicated problems.
#####
There are many jewelry shops in the Song Dynasty that are skilled craftsmen. They can not only use various precious metals to make various exquisite jewelry, but also polish and process all kinds of jade and gemstones.
Gao Zhang would naturally not miss such a craftsman. He was simply the most perfect watch craftsman.
When Lu Qian heard Gao Zhang's explanation that he was looking for the best craftsmen to reproduce the water transport ceremonial platform, he naturally did not dare to neglect it.
They directly led Gao Zhang and the rest of the group to the jewelry shop run by Duan in Bianliang, Tokyo, which was the most expensive and had the most exquisite craftsmanship. Of course, the prices were also quite outrageous.
"The owner of this shop is Mr. Duan, a well-known man in Tokyo. At least one-third of the shops on this street belong to this Mr. Duan."
Lu Qian even told an interesting story about Duan Weng, which happened during the reign of Shenzong.
At that time, he was not Duan Weng, but Duan Erlang. He had a parrot from Qinlong at home. It had beautiful fur and was very intelligent. It could even recite the poem "Long Ke" and Li Bai's "Gong Ci" and "Heart Sutra".
.
Whenever a guest comes to the house, the parrot will obediently call "Tea" and then greet the guest politely.
And Duan Erlang also took great care of this parrot and raised it carefully.
One day, he was involved in other people's affairs and was imprisoned. He spent half a year in a dark prison.
Half a year later, he was released from prison and returned home to see his beloved bird as soon as possible.
As a result, this bird complained that he couldn't stand it after being in prison for half a year. This bird has been locked up in your cage for most of his life. Do you think this bird feels better?
Hearing this, Duan Erlang couldn't help but feel sympathy for the bird, and took the bird in his car to Qinlong to release it.
"Xiaoguan also heard a rumor. It is said that the bird did not go far away, but built a nest near the official road where it was released. It would ask everyone when it met if Duan Erlang was okay. It missed Duan Erlang very much...
…”
Listening to Lu Qian telling this story vividly, Gao Zhang was amazed.
I didn't expect that there were parrots in Qinlong in this era, but when I thought about it, there were also parrots in Sichuan in later generations.
Maybe it's because of climate changes, so maybe it's because of the change in the climate that people just walked there from Qinlong.
Just like the national treasure panda, it also runs in the north and south of the Qinling Mountains, which is not surprising.
Having said that, if this story is true, it is really a good story.
If this story is false, haha, it proves that this Duan Weng is definitely an awesome advertising and marketing expert.
Based on this story alone, the well-informed Gao Zhang became curious, let alone the common people of Tokyo in this era.

When Gao Zhang reined in the horse's head and looked at the plaque, he saw the three words Si Ying Pavilion on it, and Gao Zhang subconsciously tilted his mouth.
Gao Zhang strode into this large jewelry shop, and was greeted by a person who must be in charge.
"My surname is Wang, and I am the steward of the store. I have met this distinguished guest. I wonder which relative in the family you want to choose jewelry for? Maybe I can give you some suggestions..."
Looking at the receptionist in front of him who looked very friendly when he smiled, Fu An opened his big mouth and started to speak proactively without Gao Zhang opening his mouth.
"Our young master doesn't want jewelry, he wants people."
"Ah, this..."
This certain Wang was immediately confused and subconsciously glanced at the jewelry in the shop.
I was sure that the store I worked for was just a jewelry store, not some shady store.
"Manager Wang, Mr. Gao knows that your Si Ying Pavilion is one of the best jewelry shops in Bianliang City, Tokyo.
So I came here specifically to ask the skilled craftsmen in your shop if they could help me make something."
"The price is negotiable, but the technology must meet my requirements."
Manager Wang suddenly understood. He looked at Gao Zhang and glanced behind him with some embarrassment.
"I see, it's just that the skilled craftsmen in our shop have contracts with our shop and cannot leave the shop to make them elsewhere.
Even if I can make items for you, Mr. Gao, I can only make them in my shop."
After hearing the news, Gao Zhang couldn't help but darken his face. He also wanted to have a detailed chat with his skilled craftsmen to see if he could dig some corners.
After all, what I want to do is the watch business, which is a big business. If the technology and structure of this thing fall into this jewelry store.
Needless to say, given the profit-seeking nature of businessmen, it would be strange if they didn't imitate it as soon as possible, then they would be running a shitty independent business.
Seeing the No. 1 Scholar furrowing his brows and looking unhappy, Zhao Abban on the side realized that it was time to show his worth.
Taking a step forward, his tall and strong figure exerted a strong pressure on the manager Wang.
Before he could say anything, he heard a soft cry from the side.
"This, this looks like the little champion..."
An old aunt who was staying in this jewelry shop suddenly exclaimed.
