Why, I can't see it?
After reading a letter back and forth three times and sneering for hundreds of times, Daiyu felt something was wrong around her. She looked up and saw a few girls and Jia Qiang staring at her in a daze.
Daiyu had a pretty face, but she gritted her teeth and forced herself to question her.
Jia Qiang nodded seriously and said: What's wrong with this? Aunt Lin is worried that I'm short-sighted and considers me.
After carefully looking at Jia Qiang's expression, Daiyu was satisfied. She folded the letter back and sealed it up, pushed it to the other side of the table and returned it to Jia Qiang, and smiled and said: You are not bad, you are short-sighted and easy to be deceived by others, so I will take a look for you.
However, in the end, there was no right or wrong in Baochai's letter. Moreover, the letter was originally completely invisible, and even greeted Daiyu and his daughter, and asked Xue Pan to bring a festive ceremony.
No matter how Daiyu is, she is embarrassed to say anything, even though she still thinks in her heart that someone is hiding a traitor...
If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have robbed Jia Qiang of her letter and paid attention to him.
Fortunately, Jia Qiang knew her kindness...
After saying gossip, Daiyu asked Jia Qiang: In this way, are you going to do an ice room business soon?What about the bookstore?
Jia Qiang laughed and said: Although Sanwei Bookstore is very good, it is not the time yet. Guests in the forest, wait a little longer.As for when it is time... the secret of heaven cannot be revealed.
Pooh!
When Daiyu heard him making fun of her name, she spat in anger and teased: If you don’t have any money to buy it, she just said it, and she pretended to be a fool.
Jia Qiang yelled, raised his chin, and said proudly: I don’t have any money?I just open my mouth, and I can't get 30,000 to 50,000 taels of silver.
Daiyu sneered when she heard this, Xueyan and Xiangling were laughing, but Zijuan could only smile.
If she hadn't been beaten by Daiyu once before, she wouldn't be able to bear it now.
In her opinion, Jia Qiang is a big liar who deceives Daiyu with lies!
Thirty or 50,000 taels of silver are all included in a wealthy Duke's mansion. How much does it cost to make a year's investment?
Not to mention that their girls only pay less than one tael of silver per month, even a serious lady can only pay two taels of silver per month.
Even if it is the old lady of Duke Jia, the wife of the Duke, and the wife of the head, Mrs. Wang, the monthly price is only twenty taels.
This is enough for an ordinary family of four to spend a year.
Jia Qiang spoke lightly and 30,000 to 50,000 taels of silver were raised, making Zijuan feel that he was not at all at ease and was talking.
After seeing the smile between Daiyu's eyebrows, I became more and more worried...
But Daiyu is not a fool, she sneered: Brother Qiang was indeed instigated by someone outside, so it was ridiculous to speak.I don’t believe that any fool would give you 30,000 to 50,000 taels of silver for free!
Jia Qiang felt weak, but his face looked profound and said: Aunt Lin, do you know how much silver is a piece of ice that is square in Yangzhou Prefecture?
Daiyu didn't know this. She squinted her eyes and looked at him, smiling as if she was waiting for someone to brag to the sky.
Jia Qiang laughed and said: Fifteen taels!A full fifteen taels of silver!In the past, the Feng family and the Xu family could only rely on winter to pick ice on the mountain, then transport it into the ice cellar to store it, and then sell it next year.How much effort does it take to do in the meantime and how much money does it cost?Now that I have my ancient recipe for making ice with saltpeter, making ice in the future will be much easier. Aunt Lin, you have always been smart. Think about it, how much is this recipe worth?
Daiyu was not that easy to cheat. She looked at him sideways and said: You just told me that the recipe was used for use. Why? You still want to collect the money twice, but can you sell it?
Jia Qiang laughed and said with a smile: It’s not that you sold the prescription, but that you should pay some money in advance. After making money, you can deduct it from the dividends you deserve?
Pooh!
Seeing that he actually made the lie complete, Daiyu spat and smiled like a flower and said: You know you are the most cunning!
The voice seemed like silver beads falling from a jade plate, delicate and pretty.
Jia Qiang smiled and was about to speak, but she didn't want to see Madam Wu coming in, and said with a smile: Brother, it turns out that I'm here, so I can find it easy.
Jia Qiang stood up and said: But what's the important thing?
Madam Wu smiled and said: Someone from outside said he was looking for brother, and claimed that he was from the Zhao family in Dongsheng, Gusu.Butler Wang said that this Gusu Dongsheng Cata is one of the eight largest cloth families in the world, and the family background is amazing, so I asked me to come and tell my brother quickly.
When Jia Qiang heard this, his face changed slightly, then his eyes lit up, and he turned to Daiyu and smiled: Didn’t Aunt Lin think I was pulling the flag and blowing the air?Look, I will send the silver notes to verify!
After saying that, he turned around and left with a smile.
Really, it came in time!
But after turning his back, Jia Qiang's eyes were filled with coldness.
The Zhao family is here, which means that the Fangzi left for Jia Yun was forced to leave.
But Jia Yunhei is protected by the Jinsha Gang and the official road is protected by the Huai'an Marquis Mansion. How can outsiders succeed?
It can only be said that Ning Mansion must have taken action!
Jia Zhen, hey!
It's really a tragic death!
……
The partial hall of the Salt Courtyard.
Jia Qiang looked at Zhao Bo'an who was reported to the house with a light expression and a shopkeeper of the Zhao family in Dongsheng. His attention was mainly focused on Zhao Bo'an.
This young man, who looks like he is in his early twenties, is dull and restrained and not good at speaking.
The shopkeeper named Su was versatile, said a lot of good things, and then told Dongsheng's greetings and threats from Zhao Donglin, the second master of the Zhao family in Suzhou.
However, Zhao Boan never said anything.
He looked dull and a little uneasy, but he shouldn't be afraid.
Manager Su smiled apologized: Originally, our master thought that Mr. Qiang was from Ning Mansion, and Mr. Qiang was not in the capital, so he went to visit Mr. Zhen of Dong Mansion. Unexpectedly, there were some things that outsiders didn’t know about, and finally ended up innocently.Now we understand, so our master specially sent our brother, who is also our master's only son, to meet the second master with a silver note, and asked the second master to be tolerant.
After saying that, he quietly pulled Zhao Bo'an's sleeve.
Zhao Boan came to his senses, stood up, and took out a thick stack of big dragon silver notes from his pocket.
Jia Qiang didn't know anything, so he just bent his fingers and tapped him twice, looked at Zhao Bo'an and said: Your father said, do you want to learn weaving and dyeing with me?Can you understand the recipe I left behind?
Zhao Boan's eyes were a little bit blank. After hearing Jia Qiang's question, he slowly became more energetic. He looked at Jia Qiang and said: I have read the prescription you left many times. It is true that it is dialectical, but why does the draft fade after ten days?After dyeing and drying, put it in water and stir it, and the cloth will not fade.It fades after ten days of leaving it. What's going on?Dongshenghao has stored so many dyed cloth prescriptions, and no prescription will be like this.How did you do it, can you teach me?
This...even Manager Su felt embarrassed when he heard this.
The prescription is the lifeblood of the dyeing workshop. Jia Qiang dared to ask for 50,000 taels of silver with just one prescription. How could he teach others in vain?
If the Zhao family had such a prescription, not to mention 50,000 taels of silver, even 500,000 taels of silver would never take action.
However, she didn't expect that Jia Qiang actually nodded slowly and said: This matter is not something that cannot be discussed.
When Manager Su heard this, he was stunned at first, then his eyes were filled with ecstasy and said excitedly: Second Master Qiang, you are a nobleman with tablets in front of the Supreme Emperor, and you don’t look down on this kind of weaving and dyeing path.As long as you are willing to teach all the prescriptions to our brother, you can just speak up!Just sell the money and sell everything, we Dongshenghao will be all for you!
Zhao Boan also looked at Jia Qiang with bright eyes and focused his attention.
He grew up in a dyeing workshop since he was a child, and he had no power, fame and fortune in his heart, but was obsessed with the way of weaving and dyeing.
If he could learn such a magical weaving and dyeing technique, he would have given up even the family business he left to him...
But unexpectedly, Jia Qiangx heard his voice and actually said: I don’t want gold and silver, what’s the use of asking for so much silver?I can teach you, but you will serve me for five years.
What?
Before Zhao Boan responded, shopkeeper Su almost jumped up and shook his head repeatedly and said: How can this work?How can this work?It cannot be used, it cannot be used!
However, Zhao Boan looked at Jia Qiang and said: Do you really know how to weave and dye?You are younger than me, how could you be so powerful?
Jia Qiang smiled but didn't say anything. He asked Mr. Liu, the second butler of the Salt Court, who was serving in the side hall, for a piece of paper and pen. After writing it casually for a while, he handed the paper full of words to Zhao Bo'an, and said: You should be able to understand this recipe and see how it is.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Bo'an took the paper suspiciously. He had seen countless prescriptions, but he had never seen any prescriptions...
Just took the paper and took it in his hand and took a look. Zhao Boan, who was dull, changed his face in shock. He stood up and looked at Jia Qiang in horror.
Jia Qiang waved his hand and said: Don't worry, it was not the prescription I stole in Dongsheng.From the colors on the cloth and satin produced in Dongsheng, I can bring out your recipe.I can also introduce their prescriptions from Dongsheng, Hang Seng, Fenghua, Rongshi...I have what you have.But I have it, but you don’t.I have taught you after five years of service because I can’t eat so many good recipes by myself, and there is no need to eat them alone.The reason I am willing to teach you is because I think you really love the weaving and dyeing industry.You can go further on this road.
Zhao Boan looked at Jia Qiang uneasyly and said: What about you, you are more powerful than me, you can do this yourself.
Jia Qiang smiled and said: Although I am awesome, what I want to do is far more than weaving and dyeing.If you cannot focus highly, this road will only slower and slower until there is no progress.
Zhao Boan said curiously: If you taught me everything, aren’t you afraid that I will surpass you in the future?
Jia Qiang shook his head and said: If you surpass me, it would be a good thing.Although weaving and dyeing is not the Great Way of Sutra, it is also one of the Three Thousand Ways.If the great Yiàn is firm and self-confidence, it will sooner or later be surpassed or even replaced by Western countries.I don’t just rely on weaving and dyeing to make money, so you don’t need to doubt my intentions.
Furthermore, he knew that the prosperous hand-weaving dyeing method will sooner or later be replaced by machine-chemical weaving dyeing.
And the dye recipes he has reserved can still be ahead of him by hundreds of years...
But there is no need to say these for the time being...
good!I promise you to learn weaving and dyeing from you and work for you for five years!
Looking at Zhao Bo'an who made a decisive decision, Jia Qiang smiled and nodded.
Of course, he would teach all the dye prescriptions as promised, but five years later, his weaving and dyeing empire may not be shaken by just a few prescriptions.
However, this Zhao family’s son who is obsessed with weaving and dyeing is an excellent weaving and dyeing technical director…
Such a pure person is one in a million.
Jia Qiang can take this opportunity to eliminate his grudges with the Zhao family, or delay it until five years later...
