Liu Yuan politely said a few words, and then said straight to the point: "Shopkeeper Jin, it's so late, you won't come to congratulate Liu on his promotion, right?" ”

It's dusk now, at most half an hour later, the gate of Fangmen will be closed, and at this time I am looking for Liu Yuan, it will definitely not be as simple as congratulations, seeing that the time is tight, Liu Yuan doesn't want to flirt with her in public, and goes straight to the point.

If the two are still opponents, Liu Yuan will definitely laugh and tease her a few words, while setting her tone, while taking advantage of a little tongue, it is also happy, but now it is a guest-host relationship, if you are in the mood and have time, you can laugh, but under the premise of no time and no mood, naturally you don't need to be so polite and waste time.

Workplace rules: The boss can joke, but you don't joke with him casually, a boss who can joke does not mean that he is an easy-going person.

"Owner, there are so many people here, and these things can't be said in a few words, and now the door is about to close, and we can't go anywhere when the night curfew starts, so let's talk while walking." After Jin Qiaoqiao finished speaking, she smiled at Liu Yuan, and without Liu Yuan's consent, she stepped lightly and naturally into Liu Yuan's carriage, and it seemed that she was ready to discuss things in the carriage.

Liu Yuan was speechless, and could only ride in the same carriage with Jin Qiaoqiao under the jealous eyes of a group of men.

As soon as he got into the carriage, Liu Yuan hung up the curtain on his side, so as not to cause gossip.

"General, aren't you afraid that the slave family will eat you?" Seeing Liu Yuan's actions, Jin Qiaoqiao first paused, and soon covered her mouth and smiled, that kind of look was like a mature woman looking at a young man who was just beginning to fall in love.

"Where, it's just that the carriage is a little stuffy." Liu Yuan said with a wry smile.

To be honest, the biggest dream of being a man is: to wake up and hold the power of the world. Drunk and lying on the knees of beauties, eating finely, living comfortably, dressing exquisitely, surrounded by beauties, hugging before and out, if the emperor is a profession, then it is definitely a high-risk occupation, not to mention that foreign enemies are surrounding, always worried about the safety of the border, but also to be vigilant against the clansmen, courtiers rebel, take Li Er as an example, the Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty of the previous dynasty was so happy that he waved his sword at the neighbors at every turn. The threat of force made him frightened by the neighbors, and Silla, which was once strong, was also strangled in the cradle by him, and since then he has bowed down. And the sudden cut also hid in the depths of the grassland to avoid its edge. Although in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was an alliance under the city. In general, the environment of the Tang Dynasty is still very good, and the rule of Zhenguan was first established under the conditions of peace in the four realms, standing on the shoulders of the previous dynasty, it stands to reason that Li Er is in a golden age.

But. is such a dynasty, but Li Er is busy with the affairs of the court every day, often criticizing and folding until late at night, even if he is resting, he does not dare to slack off. Every day before dawn, you have to go to the court, usually do something, with Wei Heizi as the head of the counselor and don't let him live in peace, such an emperor Liu Yuan doesn't want to do it, just wake up and hold the power of the world, just lie on the knees of the beauty.

However, Liu Yuan's situation is a bit special, Xiao Niang and Du Sanniang, when they knew each other, Cui Mengyao married Liu Yuan, a small businessman, as a famous lady, and Hu Xin was also owed by Liu Yuan, the four daughters are Liu Yuan's "creditors", unless Liu Yuan is Chen Shimei, otherwise how can I treat the four women well, when I went out, I just said how innocent I was, how ashamed I was to Xiao Niang, because Pei Jingyan came to the door, Liu Yuan described himself and Pei Jingyan as victims of bad habits in the old society, but in the blink of an eye, and Jin Qiaoqiao shared a carriage, what did the little lady think of herself at that time?

It's a big head.

Hearing Liu Yuan's excuse, Jin Qiaoqiao's face was colorful, in her opinion, since she had been at a disadvantage since she clashed with Liu Yuan, she had been "bullied" so much that she couldn't help it, but she didn't expect a win here to be an unexpected surprise.

"Okay, shopkeeper Jin, what's the matter with Liu, I can talk about it now." The atmosphere was a little awkward, but Liu Yuan still went straight to the topic.

As soon as it came to business, Jin Qiaoqiao suddenly put away her smile and said with a straight face: "Yes, the owner, the slave family came this time to remind you to be careful of Gongsun Susu of the Gongsun family." ”

"Gongsun Susu?" Liu Yuanleng paused, but immediately remembered that he was an opponent who was ready to compete with him, known as a rare genius in the jewelry industry in a hundred years, and said curiously: "Gongsun Susu? What to watch out for her? ”

"The last time the slave family asked someone to tell the owner, the opponent was Gongsun Susu, but did not tell the owner of her situation, this time Luozhou and his party, in addition to solving the matter, also inadvertently heard information about her, this time the slave family, just want to find out the news and the slave family's understanding of her, all to tell the owner, as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other, a hundred battles will not be defeated, and the Gongsun family, has been studying the works of the owner, I am afraid that they are prepared this time."

Liu Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, then you tell me what you know, and I'll be prepared." ”

The launch of a new thing will definitely attract the attention of others, especially peers, and it is the first time to collect information in this regard, it can be said that the person who knows himself best is often your enemy, Liu Yuanzhi said, some people imitate themselves, it is just a matter of time, and there is no panic in my heart.

Jin Qiaoqiao lowered his voice and said: "It is said that the eldest grandson Susu noticed the owner more than a year ago and has been imitating your techniques, by the way, they have also been inquiring about the news about the owner, please pay attention to them." ”

"From the fact that they dared to agree to compete with Liu, and also gambled on their own future, they must have something in their hands." Liu Yuan said indifferently: "Real gold is not afraid of fire refining, the soldiers will block it, and the water and soil will cover it." ”

"General, have you heard of the secret method of the Gongsun clan?"

"Okay, let's just say it, it's so mysterious, it's good to talk about something." Liu Yuan didn't want to be hung by her, so he said a little unhappily.

Jin Qiaoqiao was excited, and then remembered that although the person in front of him was a little embarrassed, it was the person in front of him, whether he was the top jewelry craftsman in the Tang Dynasty, the four-grade high-ranking official, the noble viscount or his own owner, he was fascinated by what he said, and almost forgot his identity. ”

This time, she learned to be obedient, and without waiting for Liu Yuan to ask, she immediately explained: "The grouting method is a bit like the gilding of the previous dynasty." It is to make the jewelry back to the furnace again, so that the jewelry looks more natural, the surface is smoother, the lines are as natural and beautiful as the water of the small river, the characteristics of the jewelry created by the Gongsun family are simple and natural, and this secret method is called the secret method of Gongsun in the industry. ”

"It's natural, the surface is smooth?" Liu Yuan asked on the side.

"That's true" Jin Qiaoqiao took out a piece of jewelry from his sleeve and respectfully handed it to Liu Yuan, and said in a low voice: "Dongjia, you see, this is from the hand of the eldest grandson Susu." ”

Since it's a retribution. Jin Qiaoqiao naturally did not come empty-handed, the eldest grandson family collected Liu Yuan's jewelry for research, and she also spent money to get a piece of the eldest grandson Susu's work for Liu Yuan to understand her opponent.

"Hey, it's not bad." One took it. Liu Yuan couldn't help but praise it.

This is a hairpin, although the main style is average. But the craftsmanship is extremely exquisite. Especially in the welding place, it can be described as seamless, the lines of the assembly line are amazing, no wonder Liu Yuan's name is so prosperous, and he dares to write a war with Liu Yuan. staked their own dignity and future.

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and preferring to go to the tiger mountains, if that person has no mental problems, it is not stupid. It's self-confidence.

The last process of jewelry is grinding and polishing, so that the surface of the jewelry forms a mirror, so that under the refraction of light, it appears brilliant, so as to attract attention, many people think that the so-called polishing, is to use a small sandpaper to erase the burr and thorn corners, make it smoother, are now learning and selling kung fu, and in fact, the simpler the thing, the more complex, it is easy to learn, but to learn fine, it takes a lot of effort.

No matter how it is polished, there will be faint traces on the surface, traces of polishing and polishing, Datang does not have so many machines in later generations, it is a stone mill and a water mill and a machine mill, in Datang, everything is done by hand, and the traces of polishing are inevitable, how to minimize its impact This is a problem that there are pursuers to think about, ordinary people only look almost noteworthy, and Liu Yuan has a plan to polish in one direction, in line with the principle of refraction, for example, for example, when two people meet, The angle at which the other party looks at the necklace is usually between 135 and 165 degrees, and the angle of looking at the ornaments on the fingers is about 30 to 60 degrees.

Liu Yuan can be regarded as a middle master, and the eldest grandson Susu is not simple, and the jewelry he makes seems to be integrated, and invisibly, it seems to be slightly better than Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan's expression was a little dignified, he put the jewelry in the sun, squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, constantly looking over and over again, his brows were tightly locked, and he was attracted by this so-called "Gongsun Secret Method", which was also the first time that Liu Yuan looked at his opponent so seriously.

This bet is on the future of the Jinyu family, that is Liu Yuan's original ideal, the promise to Xiaoniang, since entering the officialdom, the plan to dominate the Tang Dynasty has been delayed a lot, but there can be no more mistakes, Jin Qiaoqiao saw Liu Yuan so dignified, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word, sat quietly on the side, and even deliberately let his breath light, for fear of disturbing Liu Yuan.

After observing for about a quarter of an hour, Liu Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and immediately remembered two words: melting point.

I finally figured out that what Gongsun Susu's works were, what we did for what we did so naturally, and how well the mirror surface, turned out to be the melting point of the material.

Gold and silver, when it reaches a certain temperature, it will melt, the so-called secret method of the Gongsun family, is to make a piece of jewelry, and then return to the furnace, heat it, and take it out when it is about to dissolve, so that those burrs and corners will be integrated, and it will be taken out before it is about to be deformed, so that the jewelry will be integrated, and the traces of the handwork will also be erased, for example, there is a piece of wax in the hand that is a little uneven, and it will definitely be deformed by hand, but put it on the fire and roast it slowly, so that it becomes soft, as long as the hands are skillful, can become what you want, the so-called Gongsun secret method, nine times out of ten it is said that this is it.

As for the jewelry is not like wax, only a large piece, the ornaments are thick and thin, thick and fine, the weak places will be melted first when heated, and the thick places will be slower, these details Gongsun family is estimated to have a unique technique to make it heated to achieve their desired effect, this Liu Yuan does not know, it should be a very meticulous technique.

It sounds a bit fantastical, but in fact, it is not impossible, Liu Yuan has heard of a very famous dish, braised live fish, that is not treated with exquisite knife techniques like pine nut live fish, nor is it stuffed with a yellow meal in the belly of the fish, but a real live fish, and life, it is said that the process is the same, first burn the oil to a hot one, wrap the fish head with a wet cloth with ice powder, and then use boiling oil to drench the fish body, and blanch the fish meat, and the most important thing is to quickly plate and serve, at this time the fish is not dead, Staring at the diners eating their own bodies sounds very cruel.

The secret method of the Gongsun clan is similar to this method nine times out of ten, as for how to operate, Liu Yuan does not know.

Liu Yuan feels that this probability is very large, the Gongsun family, Liu Yuan has also heard a little, the same is mainly boutique, but the output is not much, the scale is not large, only opened a gold shop in Luozhou, the same as the gold supreme, the scale is not large, there is no branch, but the name is extremely prosperous, now it seems that it is not that they do not want to develop, but the success rate restricts them, only with the melting point method, there are gains and losses, gains and losses can be done perfectly, and the loss is that the success rate is absolutely pitiful.

Liu Yuan let out a long breath, and the corners of his mouth showed a confident smile again.

"Owner, is there a way to find a solution?" Jin Qiaoqiao kept staring at Liu Yuan, watching his reaction, and as soon as she saw Liu Yuan's confident smile, she immediately asked anxiously.

Liu Yuan nodded, returned the ornament to Jin Qiaoqiao, and said confidently: "Shopkeeper Jin, yes, you have made a contribution, this Gongsun Susu is indeed good, but she is not Liu's opponent, you don't wait to see a good show." ”

"I'm scared of the slave family" Jin Qiaoqiao patted his chest and said with palpitations: "The slave family took the gambling contract, and when they saw the owner so dignified, they thought it was a big deal for the owner, and they were thinking about how to push it off just now, but now they see the confident appearance of the owner, and the slave family is relieved." ”

"It's okay" Liu Yuan waved his hand and said: "There is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the world, Liu is not a sage, even if he loses, it is normal, everything has two sides, you can grow your fame if you lose, and you can increase your knowledge if you lose, no matter what, Liu will not blame you." ”

Jin Qiaoqiao smiled and said: "Yes, there are a lot of owners, but the little woman is a villain in vain." (To be continued......)
