Wu Jun didn't know who was coming over. He thought it would be the leader of the "Flying Dragon Team" and they were coming over for dinner.
Wu Jun estimated that they were going to report the matter to Yong Shiquan while they were eating. This was the right time to have dinner and talk without delay, which was a double-edged sword.
When Wu Jun was thinking about this matter, he saw Yong Shiquan, who was sitting opposite Wu Jun, picked up the soup bowl in front of him and said to Wu Jun: "Xiao Wu, this Tonglu is the main thoroughfare of the north-south trade route, and there are many kinds of goods.
Are you familiar with objects like this porcelain?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Jun reached out to pick up the soup bowl in front of him, took out the spoon from the bowl, and then held the soup bowl with his left hand and looked at it carefully.
At first glance, Wu Jun felt that the soup bowl was made of porcelain.
The inner and outer surfaces of the entire soup bowl are very smooth and delicate, like jade. It is warm and comfortable to the touch. It is a rare fine product among porcelains.
It's just that I didn't put my mind on it just now. Apart from feeling that the soup bowl in my hand was very comfortable to use, and the sound coming from the collision of the porcelain spoon with the soup bowl was very pleasant, I didn't pay much attention to it.
Now, under Yong Shiquan's special reminder, Wu Jun discovered that the soup bowl he was using was not an ordinary porcelain bowl.
After raising the soup bowl in his hand and seeing the seal on the bottom of the bowl, Wu Jun was even more surprised and said: "Sir, there is a word 'Yong' printed on the bottom of this bowl. This porcelain bowl belongs to Yong's kiln.
The porcelain produced?”
Yong Shiquan heard what he said, shook his head and said: "Strictly speaking, it is not porcelain produced by Yong's kiln, but porcelain produced by a specific porcelain workshop exclusively for Yong's family.
Because all porcelain utensils are engraved with the word "Yong" on the bottom or at the beginning and end, the porcelain utensils we use now have a unique name, that is, "Yong porcelain".
'Yong porcelain' is made in two batches every year. In May or November every year, a special transportation team is responsible for packaging and transporting it to Anqiu for use by the Yong family.
As for the specific use of 'Yong porcelain', there are strict regulations.
Depending on the branch lineage and seniority of the tribesmen, the types and quantities of Yong porcelain they use are different.
If a clan member uses Yong porcelain in violation of regulations, once reported or discovered, they will be dealt with accordingly according to clan rules.
The porcelain bowl and other tableware you are using now are the exclusive "Yong porcelain" assigned to my "Flying Dragon Team".
In terms of quality and grade of the utensils used, it is second only to the utensils used by the clan leader, the chief envoy of our 'Yongwang Guard'.
Every piece of utensils and utensils are registered, and even if one is missing, it will not work. If there is any damage, the broken utensils must be returned to the material department of the clan, and the daily necessities department will be responsible for processing and destroying them. They cannot be allowed to flow into the society.
.”
After a detailed explanation, Yong Shiquan put down the soup bowl in his hand and looked at Wu Jun, as if waiting for him to ask.
When Wu Jun heard the word "Yongci", he was very shocked, but then he felt that it was natural.
After all, the Yong family, the chief envoy clan of the "Yongwang Guard", is the royal bloodline of the once glorious Song Dynasty. The tools used are naturally somewhat unique.
When he saw Yong Shiquan looking at him, he put down the soup bowl and spoon and said: "The materials and texture of this 'Yong porcelain' are really incredible. It can be called the finest porcelain."
This excellent work is worthy of being used by the Yong family. I don't know how to describe this 'Yong porcelain', and I think it is appropriate to use 'extraordinary bearing' to describe it."
Yong Shiquan smiled and said: "The ancients said that 'beautiful stone is like jade, beautiful porcelain is like jade, and a gentleman's virtue is like jade'. You use 'extraordinary bearing' to describe it, which is quite appropriate."
After speaking, he pointed to the other two pairs of bowls and chopsticks placed on the table and asked Wu Jun: "Xiao Wu, aren't you curious who is going to eat with us later?"
It turns out that Yong Shiquan deliberately mentioned "Yong porcelain" in order to raise this question?
Wu Jun tried to figure out Yong Shiquan's intention and thought secretly.
Who knows, in Jinan, the seat of the provincial capital of Shandong, a major case involving "Yong Porcelain" is about to happen.
But at this time, Yong Shiquan's questions were exactly what Wu Jun wanted. Why didn't he want to know who the person who wanted to have dinner with them was?
It just related to the management of the "Flying Dragon Team" of the General Guard. As the General Guard's affiliation with different units, it was not convenient for him to ask.
Moreover, even when he belonged to the "Liuquan Guard", the Ministry of Health had a clear rule that subordinates in different posts of the same guard were strictly prohibited from inquiring into matters that were not within their scope of responsibility, even in private.
Inquiries are also not allowed, and violators will be punished by the Ministry of Health.
Therefore, when Wu Jun saw Yong Shiquan taking the initiative to bring up this matter, he followed suit and said, "Sir, I don't think there is any need to ask. I guess it should be one of your capable subordinates who will have dinner with us, right?"
Wu Jun's words were very clever. He expressed that he wanted to know about the matter, but he did not directly ask Yong Shiquan.
What he said did not violate the Wei rules, but the underlying meaning was to show the truth of his inquiry.
After hearing Wu Jun's answer, Yong Shiquan couldn't help but smile and nod, thinking that Wu Jun was really a "little slippery guy".
Yong Shiquan thought of Wu Jun in this way not in a derogatory sense, but with a feeling of affection that an elder would show to a younger generation.
"I won't tell you now, you will naturally know when the two of them arrive later.
Now, to answer the question you just asked, I have something to bring to my second brother in the city. It is just a message.
I originally wanted to send the message to him, but now that I think about it, it is safer to send the message to someone else."
Yong Shiquan talked about his arrangements, and then looked at Wu Jun.
"Sir, please tell me. I will definitely bring the message to you."
Although Wu Jun didn't say much, what he said was decisive.
Yong Shiquan nodded, and began to whisper an important message that he had already prepared in his heart, and slowly told Wu Jun.
Wu Jun listened carefully to what Yong Shiquan said and memorized every word and sentence carefully, for fear that he would miss any word or words, which would change the meaning of the message and create ambiguity, causing delays and affecting subsequent plans.
This oral message contains a lot of content. Yong Shiquan said it for almost a minute. If it were converted into words, it would be at least five or six hundred words.
After finishing his oral message, Yong Shiquan took a deep breath to allow Wu Jun to digest what he said.
After seeing Wu Jun ponder for a moment and then nod to himself, Yong Shiquan asked: "Xiao Wu, can you remember it?"
