Manager Liu and the lady were both stunned. Manager Liu asked: "What's the reason? Did the Ye family go to the capital to grab money?"

The lady shook her head and said, "None of the shops in Beijing belong to the Ye family."

After hearing this, the shopkeeper suddenly realized: "I understand, little old man. The things in Ye's workshop are not painted directly. After the furniture is embryo, customers are satisfied with it and then choose the paint color according to their own wishes. Although the base material is the same, the paint color is different, the price is very different. For example, the cheapest one is black paint, 2 taels and 5 cents of silver. But in addition to black paint, there are also pine paint, tung paint, and red paint, and whether the paint color needs to be bright.

Ze, should you need to carve a carve on furniture, and should you need to put gold foil and silver foil on carves? Master Manager, you said that you may have put a full set of carves and mirror paint with silver foil. The mirror paint grinder alone is not cheap. In this way, even if you sell 5 taels of gold, it is considered a trick in Beijing. The Ye family itself does not care about shipping goods, and most of them are ordered and sold by some merchants here. If they are local, they may not want 2 taels of gold, and the profit here is really..."

Mr. Liu was surprised: "This is the only way to get some furniture to the capital, and it can actually make more than double the profit. This is almost the same as grabbing money."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "No? I'll turn around and tell the young masters what the two nobles said, and let the young masters tell the young master of the Ye family. If the Ye family workshop opened a shop in the capital, the business would probably not be bad. I also have to thank the two nobles for letting the old man know about this."

The lady asked in surprise: "Is the Ye family's young master in charge of the Ye family's workshop? How old is that young master?"

The shopkeeper said: "The young master of the Ye family is only in his early 14 years old. But he is an amazing person. A few years ago, the best carpenter in Yicheng was Ye Laogeng, the father of the young master of the Ye family. But now, not only carpenters, but also carving lacquers, even metalworking jade, and even gardening and building scenery. The young master of the Ye family is the first signboard of Yicheng. The Ye family has been prosperous in recent years, but they all rely on this young master of the Ye family."

Manager Liu didn't believe it yet and said, "Can a 14-year-old boy have such skills?"

The shopkeeper seemed to have expected this attitude of General Manager Liu, saying: "The young master of the Ye family is named Tao, and his courtesy name is Canghuai. Isn't anyone in the capital to collect the woodcuts of the window frames with the letter Canghuai?"

"You mean that Cang Huai is just a 14-year-old boy?" General Manager Liu almost screamed.

The wood-carving knife technique in the corner is extremely old, but the content is different from the auspicious patterns such as auspicious beasts and auspicious clouds. It is a myth, legend, flowers, birds, insects, fish, and even humanistic pictures. In particular, a set of six "Ten Miles of Smoke Waves" ports vividly depict a vivid cultural picture of the port. Auspicious clouds linger in the sky, and a row of migratory birds pass through the clouds. Boats on the river, reeds on the shore, stone-built ports, barefoot ports, and carriages and horses are hiking, integrating the natural landscape and the human environment. This set of wood-carving boats are sailing, and the sails are lowered, and the carriages and horses are passing by.

It was collected by Situ Huang Xuping of the dynasty. Not only did he not want to use it as a window frame, but he even hung it like a calligraphy and painting in the study. At the same time, Huang Xuping, who is also a famous calligrapher and painter, also depicts the artistic conception in the woodcut and draws a 10-meter-long scroll of smoke and waves. Huang Xuping once said that Canghuai's talented carvings were a genius and would not want to see it at first sight. The wood carvings signed by Canghuai were very small in number and seemed to be in the capital, and they seemed to be in a good way. They could never find out whose work it was. If Situ knew that Canghuai was just a 14-year-old boy, I wonder what he would think.

"The things that were circulated were stolen from the construction site by thieves. The whole set of woodcuts was just a pattern made of stone carvings in Zhenhai Pavilion, the old man of Qi's family. My young master came back from the capital last month and then learned that he had actually been wandering there. In Yicheng, Canghuai is the name of the young master of the Ye family, but it is not a secret, so that the two nobles can learn about it."

The lady took a sip of tea and said, "That talent is amazing, but the shopkeeper said that the Ye family's business depends on this young master, so where do you start?"

The shopkeeper bowed and said, "The old man doesn't know much about the business practices here. But 5 or 6 years ago, although the Ye family had long been the best carpenter workshop in Yicheng, it was far from as charming as the Ye family workshop now, and there were no veneers or so many kinds of paint workers. The apprentices of the Ye family workshop were not as strict as today. They seemed to have no friendship with the merchants in Yicheng. All the things in between seemed to have happened in recent years, and they were all related to the young master of the Ye family."

The lady smiled slightly, and her bright look made her pale face bloom like a trembling flower in the wind. "It seems that we must meet the young master of the Ye family this time. Ye Tao and Ye Canghuai, such an interesting character."

Manager Liu nodded understandingly and asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, it seems we will live in Yicheng for a while. Is there any better place to live in Yicheng?"

The shopkeeper frowned and then let go, saying, "You are all people with noble identities. Although Linjiang Tower also has guest rooms, they do not set off their identities, but I dare not be dirty. There are many wealthy businessmen in Yicheng, and there are many unique gardens, but most of them are owned by marine merchants, and they will not lend them out even if they are closed all year round. There are quite exquisite and willing to borrow from the courtyard. Can the distinguished guests stay in the small shop for a while? I will ask someone to go to find the young owner of the family. At this time, Xunfeng Pavilion, the owner of the family, is a good place."

"Xunfeng Pavilion? It has a good name. But what's the point?" the lady asked with interest.

"Xunfeng Attic is 4 stories high, especially on the top floor. It is windy from all sides. Now it is getting hotter and very comfortable. Although your lotus pond has not yet become a scene, the lotus leaves and fields should be in sight." The shopkeeper said with a smile, "If it is autumn and winter, this place is very cold, but at this time, there is no more comfortable place in the city than Xunfeng Pavilion. This Xunfeng Pavilion was built by the young master of the Ye family last spring. It was originally planned to use his own summer summer for summer, but my young owner spent 10,000 taels of gold to decorate it. Last autumn, I spent a lot of money to decorate it. However, the owner of the family went to the villa to the north, and the young owner had no time to move in. This Xunfeng Pavilion will be closed this summer. If the guest is willing to go, the young owner of the family will definitely sweep the bed to welcome him."

The shopkeeper is really good at speaking and will also build relationships with his boss. This lady and the manager are by no means an idiot. Although the Du family in Yicheng accounts for half of the restaurants and inns, it is always good to know more powerful people.

"There are so many things that the young master of the Ye family can do, okay. Then I'll bother the store." The lady agreed with a smile. With current construction technology, it's not very easy to make the pavilion more than 4 floors, especially in the sea in Yicheng, where she has to consider the issue of summer typhoons. When she thought about it, the lady became more interested in the Xunfeng Pavilion.
