When the boat docked on the dock, Yao Dong and Yao Changshi walked ashore from the boat, and Rui'er, the daughter of the owner of the Tian boat, also acted as a maid at this time and followed out.

The owner of the Tian boat tied up the boat, followed a man who looked like an old craftsman near the dock and asked, "Brother, is your owner here?"

When the old craftsman heard the shouting, he pointed not far away and said, "There, are you here to book a boat?"

Yao Dong followed the old craftsman's point, and sure enough, there were several houses near the wharf, and most of them were not warehouses or the like at a glance, or a place for craftsmen to rest, but there was a two-story small building in the middle, which was quite conspicuous.

At this time, a man who didn't look like a craftsman hurriedly ran out of the small building, as if he had seen the situation here and ran over on purpose.

After a while, the man came to the front, put on a smile and said, "Just now, the steward summoned me to wait for the meeting, and asked Mr. to wait longer, but Mr. came to see the ship?"

"This is the Zeng family's shipbuilding workshop, right?" Yao Dong asked casually.

"Exactly, in Xia Tangtong, it's the person in charge of this place!" the man introduced himself.

"My lord wants to buy a good boat, it doesn't need to be too big, but the speed should be fast, the hull invites craftsmen with good craftsmanship to carve several patterns, and the cabin should also be built with the finest wood, if you can use all the Qingshen wood is the best, can you do it here? If you can do it, the price is naturally not a problem, if you can't do it well, don't blame us for not giving the Zeng family face!" Yao Changshi said for Yao Dong at this time.

Although this Yao Chang's family and Shu Siyue and others often go in and out of some places where wealthy and nobles haunt, but after all, she is stained with the light of others, and she never shows off, but she is really envious of Shu Siyue's nobility and Jia Qiniang's generosity, and now she has a rare opportunity to come out by herself, and for a while she showed the characteristics of both of them, although she only briefly explained, but that style made this Tang Tong immediately believe that this lady must be proud of her aristocrats, otherwise how could she be so generous and neat.

"Madame, your request is not small, but speaking of which, no one in this thief city can give you this guarantee except for the shipbuilding workshop under our Zeng family. Tang Tong looked at the image of the two of them, and after being more sure that the other party should be either rich or expensive, he made a guarantee.

"Although Mr. Tang said so, seeing is believing, can Mr. take us around?" asked Yao Dong with a smile.

"Mr. tortures the villain, Tang Tong is just a small person, he can't afford to be called Mr., Mr. can just call me by my name. Tang Tong pretended to be flattered and said.

"Xin'er, you wait on the boat, I'll go with the master!" Yao Chang grabbed Yao Dong's arm at this time and ordered.

"Yes, ma'am!" Hearing this, Xin'er, who had been ashore, also retreated into the boat.

Tang Tong also glanced at it, and found that this maid was quite marked, and her appearance was not under this lady, but she didn't know what kind of family these two people were.

"Tang Tong, take us for a walk!" Yao Dong commanded.

"Okay, two please!" After listening to Yao Dong's words, Tang Tong immediately took people to visit this shipbuilding workshop.

I don't know if this workshop is a very inconspicuous place for the Zeng family, so although there are dozens of craftsmen building ships by the water, there are only three boats built, but judging from the craftsmanship shown by everyone, this Zeng family has strong shipbuilding ability, which is not to say.

Yao Dong and Yao Chang watched it for more than half an hour, Tang Tonggang wanted to ask Yao Dong and the others how they felt, but Yao Dong asked first: "This skeleton can also be, but I don't know if there is a better carver master, my ship is the first to carve the dragon's head, both sides should be carved with auspicious cloud patterns, and the interior of the ship is even more exquisite! To tell you the truth, I also went to two workshops, all because this point can not be satisfied, after inquiring I know that there is a good carver here to come!"

Hearing Yao Dong's words, Tang informed that the other party definitely really wanted to customize the ship, so he said: "We do have a master surnamed Ma here, who is skilled in craftsmanship, but now he is busy working for another guest, sir, if you want to customize, I'm afraid it will take some time!"

"How long will it take?" asked Yao Dong.

"Three months, that's the fastest speed, in fact, it takes two months to build the ship itself, and it's just one more month to wait! This is still sir, you make a deposit today!" Tang Tong tried to be as tactful as possible.

"What if we could pay a little more?" asked Yao Changshi indifferently.

"Bid more, this ...... I'm afraid it's also a little difficult, after all, we belong to the Zeng family here, the rules of the Zeng family are first come, first come, unless there are really special circumstances, otherwise the villain really has no way, of course, if the two really pay a very high price, we can also invite skilled craftsmen from within the family, but it is only a month, it will cost an extra thirty percent of the price, which is somewhat not cost-effective. Tang Tong seemed to think about the two of them.

Listening to Tang Tong's words, Yao Dong knew that this Tang Tong was a smart person, who thought about you on the surface, but in fact made people trust him.

"Master, we are not in a hurry, the most important thing is that the craftsmanship is excellent, since this master Ma is carving other people's ships now, can we take a look, my master is also knowledgeable about these!" Yao Changshi still asked with a noble and elegant appearance.

"No problem, of course no problem! Please come with me!" Tang Tong heard this, and agreed in one bite.

The three of them walked along a path towards a nearby house, and when they reached the door, they heard the sound of poking wood inside.

Tang Tong also deliberately signaled to be quieter, and then walked in, and when he walked inside, he saw that a man with half-white hair was facing a wooden door more than a foot high, and was carefully carving with tools.

Tang Tong walked over at this time and wanted to say something, but Yao Dong stretched out his hand to stop him, and whispered: "This master Ma is chiseling the dragon's eye, don't disturb!"

"Okay, good!" Hearing Yao Dong say this, Tang Tong could only be obedient.

At this time, the master Ma seemed to be completely ignorant of the surrounding situation, continued to work on himself, quickly put down the equipment in his hand, and then took out a thumb-sized pearl from his arms, and carefully embedded it in the hole he had just chiseled.

The dragon pattern originally carved into the pearl really seems to have a lifelike feeling after being embedded in this pearl, which shows that its craftsmanship is exquisite.

After one dragon's eye was made, the master Ma started the second dragon's longan inlay, and Yao Dong seemed to be fascinated by it, and he watched it with relish.

At this time, Yao Changshi took the initiative to walk to Tang Tong's side and whispered: "My husband is fascinated again, which means that this master Ma's craftsmanship is qualified, let my husband watch it here, let's talk about the price of the boat!"
