Tiger falls to Pingyang

Shangguanxiu found out that the kiln factory was located in a remote village in the county, and then he rented a carriage and went there accompanied by Wufu.

About an hour later, the smoke from the kiln was seen from a distance. When the carriage entered the village alleyway, Shangguanxiu ordered the warrior to park the carriage in the open space and wait, while he walked on the bluestone brick road by himself, observing the households in the village Most of them use their own small-scale production or cooperative kilns.

Ceramic workshops vary in size, and many finished or semi-finished products are piled up in front of the court or on roadside shelves. The imitation utensils respond to the current situation and produce a large number of ancient furnaces, dendrobium, ladles, pots, cups, sets of boxes, etc. for sacrificial activities Or study furnishings.

He stopped at a ceramics workshop and watched with fascination that the kiln workers were busy, from soil selection, mud clarification, breaking and shaping, glaze application, engraving patterns, kiln firing, etc... Time seemed to go back to the hometown of his hometown. In the Longquan Kiln, I couldn't help but feel an urge to join them.

A kiln owner stepped forward and asked, "This owner, do you want to place an order?"

"Uh... yes." He came back to his senses and asked casually, "Is there any celadon?"

"Yes." The kiln owner is about [-] years old. He invests jointly with several kiln households to jointly operate production and is responsible for different procedures to increase production. It is the largest kiln factory in this village.

"Sir, do you want to go in and see the finished product before making a selection?"

"Okay." He grinned, and followed the kiln owner into a warehouse where ceramic wares were piled up. There were utensils for daily needs everywhere, including ceramics with high unit prices.Shangguan Xiu picked up dozens of kinds and ordered a thousand pieces in one go.

The kiln owner accepted the deposit and delivery address with a smile on his face, Shangguanxiu asked him to issue a receipt as proof, and ordered the delivery to be delivered as scheduled in two months.

"Yes yes yes... no problem." The kiln owner sent away a big customer, and immediately ordered the potters to start making it when he returned to the kiln.

Shangguan Xiu mercilessly spent a sum of money, went back to the carriage parking place, saw Wufu as if he had found a savior, and crawled to his side to lean on.

"Boy, what did you do this time?"

"Did something so stupid..." he muttered.

"Is there anything else?" Wu Fu turned his horse's head and drove away from the village immediately, waiting for him to confess.

"Uh... not yet."

"Well, not currently, which means there will be in the future. When will it be in the future, can you tell me?"

"Did not say."

"It's okay." He squinted at his lowered head and reminded, "Your reputation is bad enough, and you're about to do something that others think is stupid. With me here, it's up to you."

He raised his face and smiled.

Two months later, the leaders of the Big Four returned to the shop one after another, and Shangguan Xiupi was very tense.

The faces of the four uncles are very stinky, especially the process of purchasing and moving boxes, unpacking, and storing... After several days in a row, they were as tired as dogs and finally finished.

Unexpectedly, another batch of goods was delivered from outside the shop. After inquiring, I found out that the owner had bought a thousand fakes from the antique kiln.

The four leaders almost exploded with anger!

I couldn't sell the real products of my house, and even got a fake one to enter the door... I swallowed it and accepted it. Hundreds of large boxes were piled up in the atrium of the building, so crowded that even people could not pass through.

So, the uncles were very angry, waiting to settle some accounts with the boss!

In the shopkeeper's room, there was a murderous air.

Shangguan Xiu maintained his composure and personally served tea, thanking everyone for their hard work.

After drinking a cup of tea and putting out the fire, Diao Sanbei tossed him the letterhead and a few account receipts, "Please settle the rented carriage fee, the escort fee, and the food and lodging expenses along the way."

"Okay, I'll settle the bill."

"Boss, don't forget that mine is several pens." The jade abacus was more graceful, and it was directly stuffed into his hand.

"And the two of us too, we can't give a dime less."

"Well, I will." He stepped forward to take the bill, his manner gentle and polite.

As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit a smiling face.Shangguan Xiu lowered his posture, and had something to say: "Please rest for a day, I will transfer the money from the account."

"Of course, you don't feel bad when you spend other people's money." Diao Sanbei had endured this kid for a long time. The shop was closed and he had no income.

"Boss, who are we going to sell those pottery wares we brought back? Outside the shop, on the street across the street, there are two stores that specialize in these crap stuff. My boss bought thousands at a time. Do you plan to use it until you die?"

The jade abacus is heartbroken, Gao Ye stipulates that the account will be divided fifty-fifty, regardless of profit or loss, the blessings are shared, and the difficulties are shared.But to invite a prodigal son to run a shop, it's like asking a ghost to get the medicine list!

Although Shanmojin and Tiegouzi are easy to get along with, but they lose face outside and can't help but make trouble:

"If the owner can't support the shop, he can leave."

"We won't stop you."

"Well, I understand. But..." He paused, wondering if he would be beaten if he said this sentence?

"but what?"

"Grandpa has saved my life, but I haven't repaid it yet, so I can't leave."

Diao Sanbei jumped up immediately, and angrily scolded: "Boss, don't push yourself too hard. We didn't send a letter about your bankruptcy to let Gao know, so you should know that enough is enough. I limit you to open within three days, don't hurt us. Lost everything in the house!"

"No." He stood still and dealt with the situation alone.

"Sigh! Are you plucking the hair on top of a tiger?" Diao Sanbei clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and ground the ground: "Just because we're easy to talk, doesn't mean we can let you do whatever you want!"

Shangguanxiu paid four or two thousand gold, "In terms of status, I am the master, and everything is up to me." He insisted on his position, confronted the four leaders, and argued hard.

"Tsk!"

As soon as Diao Sanbei sat down, he punched the lower table with his fist, "Bump!" He wanted to hit someone!

Shangguanxiu pretended to be calm, he didn't move, but his eyes turned to Wufu for help.

As soon as he received the message, Wufu only had to stand behind him, watching the audience coldly, and whoever dared to do it would try——"This kid can't be touched."

"I've endured him for a long time!" Diao Sanbei roared, slapping his thigh, it hurts!

Shangguanxiu explained: "Business requires concerted cooperation. The younger generation hopes that you guys will continue to cooperate."

The four uncles present had no choice but to swallow a mouthful of bad breath, and each calmed down their dissatisfaction.

After all, Diao Sanbei is a temperamental person, once lost his temper, he restrained his tone a little: "If you have any other instructions, please tell me, my master."

"Everyone take a day off and start renovating the facade of the shop."

"My master wants us to carry the Yongzhong? That's no problem, my master has informed me before."

"no."

"No—is it?" Diao Sanbei stared, wondering if he heard right? "Why not? Is it possible to change the windows? Remove the gate? Repair the threshold?"

"I would like to ask everyone to dig a 100-meter-long pit at the gate..."

"Fuck—what are you talking about, digging a big hole outside the shop, you think it's going up the mountain to dig a grave!"

The anger hit his upper body so much that Shangguan Xiu almost fell on Wufu.

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

He waited for Master Diao's anger to subside and his complexion returned to dark before continuing, "I have my intentions, please obey orders, after digging the hole, there is still the next step to be done."

"Do you dare——and more?!" The boss planned to blow him out once... Diao Sanbei gasped: "Okay...well done! I...I will continue to bear you!"

Shangguan Xiu also continued to break ground on Tai Sui's head, "For the excavation in the future, the four leaders must be invited to dig by themselves, and no one else is allowed to do it."

boom--

The anger of the four exploded immediately, they stood up and roared——

"You intentionally made us lose face and embarrass us enough, so cruel!"

"Just wait and see! This shop is bankrupt, I will definitely beat you up!"

"I'm going to throw you into the mountains to feed the dogs!"

"You don't need to throw it into the mountain, the boss wants to dig a hole, let's push him down and bury him directly!"

The four of them shouted harsh words in response, bang!boom!boom!boom!The door panels swayed and swayed, everyone left, and a door was finally closed.

Shangguan Xiu was already stuck in front of Wu Fu, raised his pale face, and asked, "Wu Fu, you won't let me suffer cruelly, will you?"

He looked grim, and put his arms around his waist in response.

Uh... what does Wu Fu mean?

His cheeks were slightly hot, and he really, really didn't hate the feeling of the two of them clinging to each other at all.

For seven days in a row, the four leaders each held a shovel and dug a big hole in front of their own shop, and Shangguan Xiu's face turned dark.This move attracted the passing crowd to watch. Some people were curious, some laughed, and some thought they were crazy.

Let people look at the joke for nothing!

The four of them almost died of anger. They wished for a hole to drill. Their hands were not idle, thinking that they were still digging a hole... 100 meters long and 50 meters wide... enough to hold the four of them and still have leftovers... ...The complexion does not need to be exposed to the sun, and it turns dark every day!

After seven days, the reputation of Shangguan Xiu and the four leaders became even louder. It had already spread all over the streets and alleys, and everyone knew about it. What's the move?

Every day, people who are full and too idle or people from nearby businesses bypass the gate of the shop and look around to see that the surrounding of the big pothole is full of soil, forming a hill, and the people in the shop have not come out to clean it up.

It's like watching a play, the people in the neighborhood are looking forward to it, what else will they do?

In the shopkeeper's room, the four leaders were so angry that they didn't want to talk any more, waiting for the owner to order something for them to do.

Shangguan Xiu personally served tea again, and said with a slight smile, "Everyone has worked hard, this junior presents me with a cup of tea, thank you for your cooperation."

"Fart, let go!" Diao Sanbei swears directly.

The others snorted, but they didn't appreciate him personally serving tea.

"Our reputation has been ruined by you!"

"Well, I understand, there's nothing wrong with it." Shangguan Xiu calmed down and observed the static and movement outside the shop every day, and achieved satisfactory results.

He said with a gentle smile, "I will give everyone a chance to calm down."

"You are enough!" Yu Suan squinted and looked at his whole body, "Sir, don't hurt us anymore, I will be Amitabha."

He didn't mind these people's cynicism, and said: "I have asked A-Ding to rearrange and classify the antiques, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, pottery, etc. in the shop, so that customers can see at a glance when they enter the door."

No one cares about him.

Shangguanxiu went on to say: "In seven days, the store will reopen. On that day, please ask Mr. Diao to put up the cover again, trouble Mr. Mo and Mr. Tie to set off a few strings of firecrackers, and please ask Mr. Yu to sit at the counter."

Still no one would talk to him.

"Now, please listen carefully to what everyone is going to do. For seven days in a row, open the door, smash pots, pans, and other utensils..."

Suddenly, the eyes of the four leaders turned to him in unison——

"East..."

He greeted people with a smile, "Master Diao, please speak up if you have something to say."

"Are you planning to smash the junk piled up in the yard?"

"Yes, I understand that those boxes have been piled up for a long time, which is an eyesore to everyone."

In an instant, the anger of the four leaders disappeared, and they finally heard the clue.

"My master plans to smash those fakes and bury them on the spot?"

"That's right." In the Longquan kiln in my hometown, if there are flawed ceramics fired, they are smashed in the same way, and buried deep in the ground.

He smiled maliciously and said, "Men, please smash it hard! Smash it hard! Let everyone calm down. Seven days later, the shop will reopen and sacrifice the treasure of the town shop. How about it?"

"Ha!" Shan Mojin and Tie Gouzi were very happy, and understood what the boss meant.

"This trick is brilliant..." Yu Suan immediately understood.

Diao Sanbei didn't realize until now: "It turns out that the boss is playing tricks, sending us to dig holes to attract people to come and see, and then smash those fakes, so that everyone knows that our shop will never sell fakes. This move is ruthless—it smashed the signboard selling imitation antiques across the street.”

"Yes. Wufu and I went to the streets to observe that the antique shops in the county are full of fake goods to deceive customers. In addition, I specially invite you to bring back Longquan porcelain from other places. The price is only ordinary, everyone buys it If we can afford it, our shop can attract ordinary people to visit us, and we are no longer limited to high-priced items.”

"Oh. It's really you!" Diao Sanbei stood up and apologized, "I and the other three leaders have misunderstood my boss, and I have offended you by speaking rudely. Please don't take it to heart."

"How dare you, junior." He returned the salute, and said mildly, "Even though the gentlemen are dissatisfied with this junior, they still did not go against their beliefs and settled the matter well. This junior has to thank you all for saving face."

As soon as the words came out, the faces of the four of them turned red, and they could only smile dryly.At this moment, everyone agreed with him from the bottom of their hearts - it is not easy to come to a place of death and make a living, and use a good reputation to make the name of the shop.

It's no wonder that the warriors who followed the Dong's side were equally indifferent, picking up nails with a knife, and convinced everyone not to provoke them easily.

Sure enough, a thousand fakes were smashed under the watchful eyes of the public, and they were buried tightly on the spot. People rushed to report that the shop run by Shangguan Xiu would rather lose money than sell fakes.

When the shop was reopened, the sound of firecrackers resounded into the sky, and the crowds all over the street clamored. They witnessed the barbarian warriors carrying a Yongzhong with their own strength, and it landed steadily at the auspicious time, officially becoming the treasure of the shop.

The owner explained to the masses: The Yongzhong in the bell frame is composed of 130 six pieces of pottery models, and each piece of lifelike Taotie pattern and Kuilong pattern is first made into a pottery model, and the simple patterns are hand-carved on clay tablets. If it is reprinted on the fan, it will become a convex surface, and when it is cast on the bronze ware, it will become a concave surface. Roasting, dehydration, shaping, and injecting copper liquid will complete it.

After his explanation, the crowd was very convinced, and finally understood that this young Shangguan owner is an expert pottery maker.

It also specially introduced the porcelain produced by Longquan kiln for sale. The quantity is limited and it is very popular.Regardless of the size of the ceramics or antiques, there are no fakes in the shop. They pay attention to credibility, fair prices, and honesty.

On that day, there was a swarm of people visiting inside, and even outside the shop, there was a long line of people. The money was abundant, and the daily income was very considerable.

Yu Suan, who was sitting at the counter, was too busy to calculate the money, and Diao Sanbei, Tiegouzi and Shanmojin who served the guests were also busy.

Ading ran all over the field from time to time, restocking until he was dizzy.

In the shop, there are both cheap and high-priced ceramic antiques, which can be described as big and small——

The leaders of the Big Four have been wronged for so long, and finally realized that once the God of Wealth comes to the door, good luck and fortune cannot be stopped.

That night, after the shop was closed, the owner ordered the chef to set up wine and hold a banquet, and held a lively celebration party to reward everyone present for their hard work during this period.

After drinking for three rounds, Diao Sanbei lived up to his name, pestering his host that he had to drink three glasses of wine.

Shangguan Xiuhao was in a difficult situation, and repeatedly declined: "Master Diao, I can't drink it."

"That's not the case. Why can't you drink good wine and wine? Drink it quickly, otherwise the boss will not give face."

"I..." He couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and swallow the three glasses of wine.In just a moment, his face flushed like fire, adding a touch of shyness.

"Hahaha, good job!"

Everyone kept their mouths open and said amusedly, "My boss is like a bride right now."

Shangguan Xiu was dizzy and almost couldn't sit still on the chair.

Wu Fu supported his body in good time to prevent him from falling under the table in embarrassment.

Diao's three cups were full of energy, and he toasted three more cups.

Shangguan Xiu reluctantly drank three more cups, his whole body was even more dizzy, and within a moment, he was drunk on Wufu.

Yu Suan leaned forward and teased ambiguously: "Wufu, why don't you carry the bride into the bridal chamber?"

With one arm around the boy, he just glanced at Yu Abacus, who was already drunk, but didn't say a word.

"Hehe..." Shan Mojin smirked and said, "Everyone knows what you are doing, and you don't mind at all. Our boss has been with you for so long, you see everyone has a gossip No? So, don’t be ashamed, quickly take him into the room, a moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold.”

Some muddled words became more and more outrageous, Wu Fu didn't bother to explain.

Diao Sanbei shifted his target and locked on Wufu, "Come on, let's drink together and see who will stay drunk after a thousand cups."

"Oh." Provocation?

Wufu snorted coldly: "Don't use a cup, bring a big bowl."

"Use a bowl, that's great! It's fun..." He was enthusiastic, and it was rare to meet an opponent who was willing to compete, so he came to compare and see who is the hero of the wine country.

People around started clamoring and gathered around to join in the fun.

Tie Hook said: "Diao Sanbei is addicted to alcohol. Once he gets drunk, he will stalk him to death. You have to be careful, Wu Fu. Anyone who knows him is unwilling to hang out with him."

"Bring wine!" Diao Sanbei ordered.

With a big wave of his hand, Wufu swept away the cups and plates, freeing up an empty table.Shan Mojin picked up a urn of wine and immediately put it on the table.

Putting two large bowls on the jade abacus, he poured [-]% of it with just touching the gold, and said: "I am fair, there is the same amount of wine, and I am not partial to anyone."

The two people who were fighting for wine each picked up a big bowl and drank one bowl after another boldly. Rolled off the chair, drunk and passed out.

"Hahaha——" Everyone was overjoyed, "Diao Sanbei will change its name tomorrow, it must be called Diao Sanwan!"

"Yes, we'll start embarrassing him tomorrow, the little man must be blowing his beard and staring with anger."

Wufu turned a deaf ear to it, picked up the drunk and fainted boy, and walked back to the room.

The others continued to laugh and make noise, and when it was about midnight, the cups and plates in the hall were messed up, and everyone went back to their rooms to rest, only Diao Sanbei was still lying on the ground, no one cared.

"Vomit..." Shangguanxiu had a drunken attack, leaning against the edge of the bed and vomited all kinds of meat and vegetables, almost even vomited bile.

Fortunately, Wu Fu had already made preparations. After returning to the room and putting him on the bed, he stuffed him with a spittoon and waited by the side of the bed.

"It's so sad..." Most of the wine was sober, he handed over the spittoon to Wu Fu, and then fell headfirst into the inner side of the bed, and fell asleep in a short time.

Wu Fu cleaned up the mess himself, and opened the window to let a breath of freshness into the room.At this moment, he has become the boy's servant, and he has to take care of him.

He took off the boy's shirt and wrung a damp cloth to wash his body. The boy slept like a cooked shrimp, his body temperature was scalding hot.

Suddenly, sharp-eyed noticed that his skin was abnormal, and a red rash appeared. Could it be that this kid can't drink alcohol——

Wufu... remember to tell the cook not to add too much wine to the medicinal diet.

Immediately recalling what he had explained, Wufu was annoyed that he was negligent.Really... I don't want to sleep tonight, just looking at it is enough to make people upset.

When he got into bed, he rested his chin on one hand, and waited till midnight in an irritable mood, glancing at the person in his arms from time to time. The rash became more and more serious. all.

Wufu couldn't bear it any longer, and simply went out to find someone to be an errand--

"Ah, the young master has alcohol rash?"

A Ding woke up suddenly, looked up at the figure standing by the bed, and ordered like a fierce god: "Go to the doctor to get the medicine, don't make me wait until dawn." After saying that, he turned and left.

The dismantled wooden gate leaned against the wall. When A-Ding saw this, he jumped up immediately. He was afraid of death, so he dared not follow.

In the middle of the night, he went to the medicine hall and knocked on the doctor's door, explained the reason, took the medicine slip, and hurried back to the residence in the courtyard.

Shangguan Xiu was itchy all over his body, he couldn't help but raised his hand to scratch his face and body several times, but the martial artist stopped him.

He called pitifully: "Let go..."

Wufu turned a deaf ear to it, and prepared two pieces of cloth to wrap his palms into fists to prevent him from scratching himself.

He didn't want to suffer even the slightest injury, and his stubborn behavior made people feel helpless.

"I can't go out to see people anymore." Shangguan Xiu had a bitter look on his face, "It's so ugly..." Although he took the medicine, the rash didn't disappear so quickly, he was quite upset...

"Wufu, do they all know?"

"Yeah." Earlier, he brought the breakfast back to the room, and the others didn't see this kid, and they asked all the questions they should and shouldn't ask.

Yu Suan thought that he was tossing him so hard that he couldn't get out of bed.

Diao Sanbei hinted that he should restrain himself.

Shan Mojin and Iron Hook like this way, and teaching him how to do it privately will make people more comfortable...

At this time, his half-closed eyes fell on the boy's dark head, and he thought to himself that although he didn't pay much attention to appearance, his current appearance was considered ugly in the eyes of outsiders.

"In the future, I won't let you touch alcohol."

"it is good……"

"Why didn't you tell me in advance?" Diao San's cup of wine was so strong, it's no wonder the kid had such a serious rash all over his body.

"...I can't refuse." He said aggrievedly, and even had the illusion that retribution was imminent.

Wu Fu leaned over and tilted his head to kiss his swollen cheek.

Shangguan Xiu stared blankly, what did Wu Fu just do?

"You..." He was stunned like a fool, his heart seemed to be about to pop out of his chest, he hesitated to ask, "Why... secretly kissed me..."

"You were defenseless." He maintained his usual ruthlessness.

Shangguan Xiu's eyes wandered, looking left and right, but he didn't have the courage to raise his head.

Wu Fu asked, "Will you let me hug you?" His eyes passed over the boy's head, and landed on a place that he didn't even know. All he could think about was the boy in front of him. He had been thinking about making out for a long time...

Shangguan Xiu was in a daze with anxiety, not because he didn't understand his frank courtship.I don't hate him...but he is so ugly...so I found a reason: "In broad daylight...I don't want to..."

"Well, use the bed curtain to cover it, so the inside of the bed will not be so bright."

"I'm not good-looking..." he muffled.

"As long as I like to watch it." He stared straight ahead without any dislike, just like the kid has never disliked him.

Shangguanxiu mustered up his courage and asked: "Wufu...do you... like me?" He was looking around, looking at everything at his feet, but he didn't dare to look at Wufu.

"Hmm..." He hugged him close to his upper body, felt the burning desire and had already honestly responded whether he liked it or not.

Shangguan Xiu was stunned, "How long have you found out?"

"I've been paying attention since I thought you looked like a bitch... until the first time I spoke to you, I'm afraid."

Looking back to the front of the body, he stared at the boy who raised his face. He was very ugly now. He reached out and stroked his face, and touched the rough red rash particles with his palm, "Will it itch?"

"It will...it itches when you touch it, and it hurts when you scratch the skin."

"Well, I'll wait."

"You think I'm ugly?"

"No..." While slowly lowering her head, she clasped his chin and kissed his mouth, which was so soft that it made one's heart sway... She didn't want him to be hurt, and naturally she didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable due to the friction of skin-to-skin contact.

His moth-wing eyelashes fluttered slightly, accepting his kiss, and the tip of his tongue poked in surprisingly gently, gradually arousing the idea of ​​wanting him to hug him too...the two developed naturally...as if it was a matter of course.
