【Chapter 368】Who is stronger between him and him?

For Mrs. Lin's praise, Xu Xingxia didn't feel anything. He and Mrs. Lin are still in contact for the first time, and they don't know her very well, so they don't know that she rarely praises people. Jinyiwei's intelligence did not specifically mention this. So, he regarded Mrs. Lin's praise as an ordinary courtesy. In his opinion, since Mrs. Lin is in business, it is normal for people to compliment others at the appropriate time. Since it is an ordinary politeness, there is no need to say anything, a slight smile is considered a response.

As a result, Lin Feirong next to her couldn't help but be a little angry. This damn guy, it's rare for his mother to praise him like this, he didn't react at all, he looked like he took it for granted. He didn't even say the simplest thank you, and smiled cheekily. I've seen a thick-skinned one, but I've never seen one with such a thick skin.

Mrs. Lin continued to say gently: "Xu Qianhu, when are you free, come to our Lin family to sit?" Xu Qianhu won't be able to find the door of our Lin family, right? ”

Xu Xingxia glanced at Lin Feirong intentionally or unintentionally, and said bluntly: "Originally, I was going to go to your Lin family to sit down last time, but later, Sawanna's affairs were about to come out, and there was no time." Next time! Next time, as long as you have time, you will definitely visit you. Of course, the premise is that the eldest lady won't kick me out of the door! ”

Lin Feirong suddenly couldn't help it, and said sharply: "Whether you come or not, what's the matter with me?" What am I going to do with you? It's not like there is no place to entertain you in my house! ”

Xu Xingxia actually deliberately lured her to get angry. Just now, he suddenly discovered that this eldest lady of the Lin family is even more beautiful when she is angry than when she is not angry. The main reason is that her usual face is not very good, and only when there is a flush on her face, can she show the most beautiful side.

Such a phenomenon not only appeared on Lin Feirong's body, but also on Tessna's body. Whenever they were angry, their faces were flushed, setting off their toned figures, and the charm of the whole person suddenly increased by three points. Xu Xingxia pondered by himself, mostly because of the northwest climate, which caused their cheeks to be not as delicate as those of Jiangnan women. A faint flush must emerge to cover the original face in order to achieve the ultimate beauty.

Although in Ningxia Town, the climate is generally very good, and it has the reputation of plugging the south of the Yangtze River, but there is much more wind and sand here than in the south of the Yangtze River. If you go out a lot, you will be hit by wind and sand more often. How can a girl's cheeks withstand the wind and sand? After a long time, it is naturally impossible for the skin to be as smooth as a Jiangnan woman. Unless she wraps herself tightly in her clothes, like a woman in the Western Regions.

"Haha, thank you very much!" Xu Xingxia snorted and responded casually.

"You ......" Lin Feirong wanted to say something, but it was hard to say. She suddenly found that she couldn't guess what Xu Xingxia was thinking about. It felt like his thinking wasn't normal at all. No matter which way you look at it, his thinking jump is big. If you don't get used to it, you will feel very uncomfortable. In addition, he has a lot of secrets, as if he is very mysterious.

However, if you say that he is a crazy person and not a normal person, it is estimated that others will first regard her as a crazy person and think that she is not a normal person. Have you ever heard of a madman who can take out thousands of Tartars? Have you heard of any madman who can pull up his own army? What other madman have you heard of who snatched the Tatar priestess back? If he is really a madman, then those who are not madmen, aren't they all faceless?

Xu Xingxia didn't pay attention to what Lin Feirong thought, he went around the Lin family's caravan, and unexpectedly found that most of the carriages had a small amount of porcelain leftovers. Inside these porcelains, there are some medicinal herbs and the like. It is estimated that the porcelain that was sold to the prairie, but no one wanted it, was used to contain medicinal materials.

This is also the most primitive waste utilization. It's just that running so far and pulling it back is indeed a bit of something. Why aren't you too troublesome? Why didn't the Lin family just throw it on the prairie? When I think about it later, I understand. This porcelain is like the milk of the capitalist economic crisis in later generations, and it would rather be smashed or pulled back, rather than just give it to others. Otherwise, there will be no market for porcelain in the future.

To be honest, the quality of porcelain in the northwest region is indeed not very good, and it cannot compete with Jingdezhen and other places. At that time, China was the center of porcelain in the world, and the center of porcelain in China was in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province and Foshan, Guangdong Province. Among them, the porcelain of Jingdezhen is the most famous. Almost all high-end products are produced in Jingdezhen.

The imperial relatives of the Ming Dynasty, the lords and magnates, and the big families, as long as they are a little more particular, use porcelain produced in Jingdezhen, most of which are exquisite blue and white porcelain. At that time, the firing of blue and white porcelain had reached the state of pure green, and the blue and white porcelain fired was a top-level handicraft and flawless. The porcelain used in the Forbidden City is the finest blue and white porcelain. Blue and white porcelain is expensive. In the porcelain business, the most profitable is these blue and white porcelains. In maritime trade, a shipload of blue and white porcelain can almost be exchanged for half a ship's silver.

Due to the Silk Road on the road of the Ming Dynasty, it has not been smooth, therefore, the porcelain trade on land has never made any major improvements. It seems that in the northwest region, the demand for blue and white porcelain is actually very large. Generally, large families have to prepare some fine porcelain at home, and only carefully take them out and use them during the New Year's holidays. When I ran out, I quickly put it away again. If you accidentally break one, you have to feel distressed for a long time!

Rare things are expensive, and the principle is the same as glass. However, there are not many blue and white porcelains that can be transported here. The transportation process of porcelain is also quite expensive. The bumps on the land can easily cause the porcelain to shatter. The more exquisite the porcelain, the more care must be taken. If there is the slightest flaw, the price will be greatly discounted. From the point of view of porcelain protection, sea transportation is much safer and less expensive than land transportation.

The quality of the porcelain fired by the locals themselves is too far apart. Don't say that it can't be compared with blue and white porcelain, even other high-grade porcelain can't be compared. The reason for this is impossible to say exactly. Anyway, it is impossible to fire blue and white porcelain in the northwest. Even those skilled craftsmen from Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province, were unable to fire fine porcelain when they arrived in the northwest region. Some people estimate that this is still a matter of water and soil.

Xu Xingxia rode his horse slowly back to the side of the black carriage and said leisurely: "Mrs. Lin, in fact, in addition to glass, we still have a business to negotiate. ”

Mrs. Lin was very curious and said, "Oh? Please tell us more about it? ”

Xu Xingxia said: "Madame's porcelain, I'm afraid that it is medium grade at most, right?" ”

Lin Feirong couldn't help but interject again: "Zhongpin is already the best porcelain in Ningxia Town." ”

Xu Xingxia said eloquently: "If my guess is not wrong, Madame's porcelain business, I am afraid that it is only won by large quantities, and there should be no breakthrough in the profit of the monomer?" It is estimated that such porcelain can only be sold to the prairie. If it is sold in China, there should be no way. It's really not as good as Jingdezhen's porcelain! ”

Lin Feirong frowned and said, "You said it lightly! What is porcelain that is not as good as Jingdezhen? Do you think that the best porcelain in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province is so easy to get? Even if it is a big merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, how many real Jingdezhen porcelain can be obtained every year? ”

Xu Xingxia shook his head, pulled down his face, and said coldly: "Or, you shut up for me, I'll continue." Or, let's leave it at that. ”

Lin Feirong's face suddenly turned red again.

This damn Xu Xingxia should actually teach her a lesson in person!

is her mother, and when she grows up, she rarely teaches her a lesson!

Mrs. Lin said softly: "Rong Rong, you are tired, let's rest for a while!" ”

Lin Feirong had no choice but to purse her lips, quietly glared at Xu Xingxia, and stopped talking. For her mother-in-law, she still doesn't dare to compete. The current Lin family is actually still in charge of Mrs. Lin. She Lin Feirong wants to be in charge of her own house, but unfortunately, she also knows that her shoulders are relatively thin and she can't fully bear it for the time being.

Xu Xingxia said slowly: "The Lin family's porcelain business, if you want to make a larger profit, you must find another way. To be precise, it is to develop new varieties of porcelain......"

Mrs. Lin's voice was slightly moved, and she said a little expectantly: "New variety? ”

Xu Xingxia nodded and said methodically: "I know a special kind of porcelain, which is very white, very thin, and very tough, and is an excellent material for making tableware. It is the best blue and white porcelain, which is difficult to compare. What is rare is that this kind of exquisite porcelain can only be produced in large quantities in the northwest region, and even if the imitation is successful in the Jiangnan region, its output will not go up. ”

Lin Feirong couldn't help but say: "There is still such porcelain in the world? Why haven't I seen it before? You're not talking about it, are you? ”

Xu Xingxia said coldly: "How old are you?" ”

Lin Feirong said angrily: "Anyway, I'm not younger than you!" ”

Xu Xingxia squinted at her, feeling as if she was looking at an idiot.

Sometimes, he does feel that this Lin Feirong is a bit like an idiot. It is estimated that because she has no father since she was a child, she has a serious lack of emotional intelligence. If it was Zhu Yuzhi, would she be so uneducated, interjecting indiscriminately, and not knowing what to do?

Mrs. Lin said with a little seriousness: "Rong Rong, listen to Xu Gongzi." ”

Lin Feirong had no choice but to purse her lips, glared at Xu Xingxia unconvinced, and shut up.

Xu Xingxia said: "Mrs. Lin, it is too pale to simply describe such porcelain in words. Otherwise, two months later, Madame sent a few professionals to the Montenegrin camp, and I took out the samples for everyone to admire. ”

Mrs. Lin said: "This is very good, Xu Gongzi really has a heart. ”

Xu Xingxia said with a smile: "It's right to do business, everyone has money to make." ”

Lin Feirong couldn't help it anymore and wanted to speak again. Her surname is really a bit dry and she can't hold her breath. Fortunately, she finally restrained a little this time, and was sure that Xu Xingxia had finished speaking, and there was nothing else to say, so she said with interest: "Are you really so sure?" ”

Xu Xingxia said: "Actually, compared with glass, this kind of porcelain is nothing at all? ”

Lin Feirong felt that her cheeks were a little spicy. Xu Xingxia is gently slapping her in the face! This is tactfully telling her, I can even get glass, what else can't I get? You don't have the right to question me at all.

Mrs. Lin said: "In two months, I will let Rong Rong go to the Black Mountain camp. ”

Lin Feirong subconsciously wanted to refuse. However, she rolled her eyes and changed her mind. If Xu Xingxia did have more exquisite porcelain in her hands, she wouldn't mind being a little angry and letting Xu Xingxia bully herself. The Lin family's porcelain business is indeed not very profitable, that is, barely surviving. Otherwise, Mrs. Lin would not have taken the risk of cutting off Xu Xingxia's glass business from Li Maohui's hands.

"Da Da Da!"

As he spoke, the sound of hurried horses' hooves sounded, and someone reported something in Xu Xingxia's ear. Xu Xingxia hugged his fists and said goodbye. Since he has something important, Mrs. Lin will naturally not keep it. Soon, Xu Xingxia's war horse disappeared at the end of Lin Feirong's sight.

Lin Feirong put down the curtain and asked curiously to her mother, "Mother, why do you always praise him?" You seldom praise people. However, you actually praised him twice today. Mother, you must tell me, why? Is he really that good? ”

Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "Rong Rong, judging a person is not measured by whether it is good or not. Whether he is a good person or not actually has much to do with us. ”

Lin Feirong couldn't figure it out, and said strangely: "Then why are you praising him?" ”

Mrs. Lin smiled slightly and said eloquently: "I just praise him for his strength, not for whether he is a good person." Did you listen to what I had to say? ”

Lin Feirong pouted and said, "Even if you just praise his strength, it doesn't seem necessary to praise him twice, right?" Well, mother, you must be eccentric! ”

Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "My mother only has one daughter, and she has no son, whose heart do you prefer?" Do you have two hearts? Mother can be left and right! ”

Lin Feirong said stubbornly: "I don't know, anyway, mother, you must be eccentric." Well, you gave that Xu Xingxia partially, and you always praise him! ”

Mrs. Lin said, "What do you think of Lin Dan Khan? Is he strong? ”

Lin Feirong said without thinking: "Of course it's powerful!" Lin Dan Khan has 50,000 iron lance cavalry, and he is the leader of the Mongolian Tumut tribe, the future Golden Khan, who is strong if he is not strong? ”

Mrs. Lin said eloquently: "However, such a powerful Lin Dan Khan, there is no way to take this Xu Xingxia." Then you say, between him and Xu Xingxia, who is stronger? ”

Lin Feirong was speechless.
