Pearl first went to their own shop to see, made some instructions, checked the account book, no problem, then went to the treasure building to walk around, and then went to several of the largest antique shops, calligraphy and painting shops, the local study of the four treasure shop, really fancy the fan here, Su fan, is Suzhou folding fan, sandalwood fan, silk palace fan, paper fan general name, pearl originally liked exquisite things, but in modern times but spent a lot of money to collect plain gold fan, fan bone is also called bone, the material is mainly bamboo, and there are boxwood, ebony, wenge, peach silk wood, Xiangfei bamboo, ivory, tortoiseshell and other precious materials.

However, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, in the eyes of literati and scholars, the most appreciated and respected was the common bamboo in the south of the Yangtze River. Shen Defu of the Ming Dynasty said in the "Wanli Ye Compilation": "All red sandalwood, ivory, and black tree are all customary, and only those who use palm bamboo and moso bamboo are called Huai Sleeve Elegance, and their face is not expensive enough to be golden, and only bones are fashionable." ”

This is not only because the quality of bamboo has always been respected by the literati, but also because this material will be even, smooth and warm after a series of technological processes. In particular, the appearance of the old alum fan surface, the texture element method, smooth and firm, long use without cracking. Because of this, it has attracted many famous artists to inscribe poems and paint and carve on the fan surface, which shows how good the fan is, and thus makes the Suzhou folding fan form a fine and elegant style. Highly praised.

In modern times, pearls have spent a lot of money and bought quite a lot of fine products, of which eighty percent are modern gold fans and sandalwood fans, especially sandalwood fans. It only appeared in the early Qing Dynasty, with one in hand, and the fragrance overflowed four. At first, it used 30 pieces of sandalwood as thin as bamboo strips as fan bones, and pasted paper on the fan bones, and later changed to pasting silk noodles. Now Suzhou sandalwood fan exquisitely delicate, rich and gorgeous, fragrant and rich, after more than 10 processes such as saw blades, assembly, pulling, mounting, painting, etc., especially with the "four flowers" (latte flower, hot flower, painting flower, carving) decoration techniques are good. Latte art, that is, on the fan bone to pull out a kaleidoscopic pattern, so that the fan surface is exquisitely clear. Light as yarn; Hot stamping is also known as fire brush painting, brand painting. It is a special fire pen to burn a picture of shades and shades on the fan bone; The carving is divided into shallow carving, relief carving, carving, etc., carving figures, landscapes, flowers and birds or Bogu and other pictures on the big bones; Painting flowers, that is, painting ladies, flowers and birds on the silk surface, the color is bright and vulgar. Rich and generous. Some are painted in heavy color on the surface of the illuminated fan. It is even more gorgeous, rich and dazzling.

Pearl first let me inquire, and when I got to the store, I saw the finished product. Although there is a gap with the modern one, but it also has its own characteristics, and this handicraft is not worse than the modern masters, if you get your own guidance, I am afraid that the fan made is better than those in your own collection, so I thought about it, and ordered it to go down, so that people left those craftsmen.

Now thinking of the fan, Pearl suddenly remembered her husband Qin Hui, Pearl did not pay attention to fans in her previous life, and there were fans as a specialty from the south at that time, but they were not enough to attract pearls. Mingqian likes fans very much, but Pearl was just concerned about what kind of fan pendant the fan in her husband's hand was good at that time, and what kind of drowned Luo Zi was suitable, and now there are good fans, thinking that Qin Hui also likes good fans, and his pen and ink are the best, so I found an opportunity, went to the space, processed a photo with a computer, expanded it, and then added some colors with paint, plus my own description of the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, the things I encountered, and my own plans and assumptions, of course, and the thoughts of her husband and son were written, and a very thick letter was written. After that, I found a few mud gold fans and plain fans and put them in the box, as well as sandalwood fans, and sent a few as well. also asked Qin Hui to draw a fan for himself. Then out of the space, there was free time, and people gave these things to Qin Hui.

After the pearl came to the south, I found that the pearl cultivation here is also there, but the probability of becoming a good bead is really small, the cost is huge, and it takes too long, so it has not yet formed a large scale, but the pearl farm is different, I went to the farm to see, the pearl only let those pearl oysters that do not grow well are fished up, and the rest are well raised, and now it has been raised for two years. Pearl felt that after waiting for filial piety, she would salvage the first batch. Those that are not in good shape are ground into pearl powder. Pearls have invested a lot of silver at the beginning, and the manpower and material resources are endless, but the investment of other cultured pearl people cannot be compared, not only because the technology is not mature enough, but also because the energy invested is not as good as pearls. The management is not strict enough, and there is no way to deal with unexpected situations, which directly affects their output and quality.

Pearl is bent on seeking good, and requires his subordinates to be more meticulous, and it is easy to say other things, but the work must be completed for you, no matter what method you use, no matter how much it will cost, of course, it can't be too perverted, and it's not okay to break the law. It doesn't matter if you spend more money, it's okay to hire more people, and it's okay if you want to go on vacation, but once you don't care about work and something goes wrong, then there is no way to tolerate it. This time I came to the pearl factory and stayed for two days, and I found two people who were not dedicated to their work, and they were directly replaced. These two people began by begging for mercy, but then they hated and threatened. But they didn't know that the last thing pearls feared was threats. The most disgusting thing is also the threat, even if it is the emperor, she is not afraid, because in her eyes, both life and death are not necessarily the end of life, and there is space in hand, there are countless dead, why should she be afraid of anyone. Without opening his mouth with a pearl, he glanced at the big girl next to him, Chunguang, saluted, and then went out.

After that, the two families were never seen in the Zhuangzi again, some said they were sold, some said they were killed, in short, after that, the atmosphere in the Zhuangzi was a little tense, and some of the restless people were silent a lot. Pearl found some problems in the ledger and promptly pointed out and corrected them. The list not only writes the ancestral hometowns of these people, what they have done, who their relatives are, and where their hometown is, but also writes in detail the personalities and specialties of these people. The pearls recognized them one by one, and when they saw these people again, the pearls could already call their names, and these craftsmen and their families were shocked and frightened by this master!

After a period of time, when you get to Fuzhou, you can see the Nanzhu farm, although the pearl knows that the brothers and sisters of the Liu family are reliable, but their own industry, always see it to rest assured, the auction will be held next month, and the low price has been told to them. Naturally, someone is in charge of the preparation for the competition. The lottery will soon find out that the proceeds of the first batch of lottery tickets will invite famous doctors from all over the world to come to a free clinic in the people. Of course, they are also responsible for the medicine used, which is a significant cost.

I have collected a lot of good things in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and all the things that need to be done have been done, and the rest is the affairs of the subordinates and Qin Hui, who are responsible for preparing for the exam. Qin Hui was responsible for asking the emperor and the empress dowager for holy decrees, negotiating with the emperor, negotiating with local officials, and inviting respected examiners by the way.

Pearls also bought good things in this embroidery shop, as well as some fabrics and specialties. After that, he went to Fuzhou, where he looked at the situation at the port and the merchants who came and went, and Qin Min also talked a lot with foreigners with Pearl. After that, they got on a big boat and went all the way to Zhuozhou.

When he got there, Qin Min was really dumbfounded, what a big ship it was! It's still made of iron, it's so big! It's scary! The port is so big, it's all her mother's, why does Qin Min know? She wasn't stupid, their boat hadn't reached the shore yet, and a large group of people were already waiting there. Then the person in charge was still saying something she didn't understand, but the other party asked her mother to look at the account book, look at the design drawings, and see the technical problems encountered, which clearly showed that this was her mother's world.

There is indeed some trouble here in Zhuozhou, Pearl sent Qin Min to Zhuangzi again, and now it is blooming there, and when her masters come back, they will also go to Zhuangzi first. Zhuangzi had nothing to worry about, Pearl solved the problem of the dock and the shipyard, and secretly drank with his cronies to discuss the matter of making his own artillery and cannonballs, and all arrangements were made, and then he went to the Zhuozhou wharf, where there was his own trading house, just to receive and sell goods from the South Seas. This time, Pearl collected a lot of bird's nest into the space. I left behind and took away some of the very old tongkat ali, which is now more and more expensive and in demand. Now several big dealers in Nanyang are in the hands of pearls, but fortunately she had foresight, otherwise she would have been robbed of business.

When it was all over and Qin Min's gentlemen arrived, he took his daughter home. Pearl really wants to kill her sons. I've been out for so long, and I feel so guilty! After coming back, he changed his clothes, and accompanied his son for a short day, and waited until after dinner, Qin Hui came back, as soon as he entered the door, he saw his daughter-in-law wearing a plain satin nightgown, with her hair scattered, refreshing and refreshing, and before she could speak, Pearl hugged him at once. The girls who were waiting in the room all left quietly.

Qin Hui couldn't say what he was complaining about, Pearl's behavior seemed to melt him all at once, Pearl babbled about his thoughts, this has never been done before, and the whole person was wrapped around him, Qin Hui was very excited, and he felt happiness more clearly. He had no doubt that Pearl was telling the truth, and when he heard it, he found that he was now eighteen years old, and under the guidance of Pearl, he also tried to say everything in his heart. This night, the two of them were very busy, sweating profusely when they were busy, and they had endless words when they were not busy, and they were really busy. The next morning, neither husband nor wife got up. Or Qin Hui has official business, and was shouted by the little guy outside the courtyard, he also felt quite faceless, quickly got up, just put on the clothes placed on the bedside, he felt a little goblin with high mana crawling up behind him, looking back, his eyes were like silk, his clothes were scattered, in this world, he could hold it at this time, it was definitely a saint, but the little guy shouted a few times outside, he woke up, muttered in his mouth, and said, "Fortunately, I married you, if you enter the palace, it will definitely be the king from now on." Hum! After speaking, he hurriedly got dressed, Pearl didn't have any image of smiling on the bed, and it was very loud, and he was glared at by Qin Hui several times, and his clothes were almost worn wrong.
