I didn't think so, but in the blink of an eye, they have been in China for almost half a month.

Not only did he make no progress, but he couldn't even touch Lu Zi'an's whereabouts. Shengliang felt that this matter was really only possible to go through Minglu.

But Yuki Shiraki obviously didn't think so. He turned over "Huaxia Hundreds of Workers" and said without raising his head: "If you think about Minglu, you can apply, I'll find another way."

What else can I do? No one can find it!

Shengliang no longer had much hope, so he ran to drink alone.

After reading the book for a night, Yuki Shiraki has a better understanding of some of Lu Zi'an's views.

After thinking for a long time, he spent a lot of money to find someone to keep an eye on Chen Mange's whereabouts, and finally stopped her the next morning.

Chen Mange looked at Yuki Shiraki who was exhausted and smiled gently: "Mr. Shiraki, long time no see."

"Long time no see." Yuki Shiraki smiled and reached out to her to hold her sternly: "To be honest, I have been looking for Miss Chen for almost half a month and have never met her. It's rare that I'm destined to be together today. Why don't we have a cup of coffee together?"

Mr. He later talked to Shen Mange about having dinner with Yuki Shiraki.

Although his words are vague, it is also a reminder.

According to Mr. He, it is best for Chen Mange to leave when he sees them, and ignore them and give them no chance.

But Chen Mange's idea was different. She had dealt with Yuki Shiraki and knew that he would not go in and would not give up until he achieved his goal.

The most important thing is that he can think of any wrong ideas.

She thought about it and was quite curious about why he came here this time.

So the two of them found a cafe nearby, which was located by the window.

Yuki Shiraki suppressed the anxiety in his heart and politely asked her to sit down.

The two of them ordered their own cup of coffee, and Chen Mange smiled and said, "Mr. Baimu, I'm going to go to class soon. Please tell me if you have anything to do."

"That's fine." Yuki Shiraki decided to go straight and said straight to the point: "I want to meet Master Lu, Miss Chen, I have no ill intentions. I just want to discuss a business with him, but Master Lu's whereabouts have become a mystery recently. I can't find him at all. You must know where he is, right? Can you please bring him a message, saying that the time and place are determined by him, as long as he comes."

The posture was so low that it seemed that it was impossible to lose Master Lu.

Chen Mange looked at him vigilantly, but laughed calmly: "Discussing business? Mr. Bai Mu may have misunderstood. Mr. Zhuo is basically the matter of Zi'an Group. Master Lu did not participate in the whole process, but just had a name. If you want to talk about business, you can just look for Mr. Zhuo."

"My business is quite special and is related to craftsmanship. Only Master Lu can make the decision."

When discussing business, it is related to craftsmanship, Zhuo Peng still can't make the decision, so he combined with Yugui's identity and borrowed the country...

Chen Mange looked at Yugui Shiraki without a trace. Since they met, Yugui Shiraki's eyes have been floating in her hands uncontrollably.

She had no accessories on her hands, the only accessories were their engagement rings.

As his eyes passed over the ring, Chen Mange remembered the commentary made by Lu Zian on the ring.

She slowly stirred the coffee with a spoon and said slowly, "I'll dare to guess what the business Mr. Shiraki is going to discuss has anything to do with me?"

Yuki Shiraki hesitated for a moment, nodded and shook his head.

Chen Mange raised her hand and shook it. Sure enough, Yugui of Shiraki couldn't help but follow her hand and look.

She smiled knowingly, and gently stroked her fingers across the surface of the ring: "Wood grain and gold craft?"

"How do you know?" Yuki Shiraki's eyes suddenly sharpened and he stared at her: "What did Master Lu say?"

So this is indeed the craft of their Puppet Kingdom? It’s just that Lu Zian has developed it.

"Ha." Chen Mange shook his head: "If it's really for this craft, I would like to advise you to give up as soon as possible, given up on this basis, given up as soon as possible."

"impossible."

"That's up to you." Chen Mange just reminded him with kindness, whether he listened to him or not.

After drinking a sip of coffee, Yuki Shiraki couldn't help it: "Why?"

Chen Mange smiled and raised his finger: "Do you think this craft is difficult?"

Is it difficult? Of course it is difficult!

Yugui Baimu was excited and his eyes were burning: "Of course it's difficult! Miss Chen, you don't understand what the wood grain and gold craftsmanship means to our country. It is a treasure of our culture, has epoch-making significance, and is a perfect transition between jewelry craftsmanship in the old and new eras, and even has a far-reaching impact on the world's jewelry culture!"

"So why did you lose such an important craft?"

To the point of being sharp.

Yuki Shiraki was excited when he was blocked by Chen Mange's words.

It was like a balloon that was blown to the peak and was poked. He lost his strength in an instant and said silly: "It consumes too much. At that time, our country could not afford such consumption..."

"Can you bear it now?" Chen Mange shook his head. Seeing that Yugui of Baimu opened his mouth and kept silent, she thought for a while and sighed: "I feel that you think that Master Lu has developed all the research. He must have a better way to reduce losses, right?"

right.

After a whole night of research, Yugui of Baimu discovered that in "The Hundred Works of China", Lu Zi'an not only recorded those craftsmanship.

He was not limited to recording, but more about updating the process and putting forward better and more complete ideas.

If wood grain gold can reduce losses, it will be excavated again, and it will probably replace Matsue's status in the Puppet Kingdom in an instant!

As an excavator, Yuki Shiraki knew deeply what this meant.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Chen Mange smiled: "Mr. Baimu is honest, and I don't hide it from you. This craft is not the wood grain gold of your country."

"Impossible!" Yuki Shiraki frowned and was a little angry: "I can't admit my mistake. This pattern and this color, there is a collection in my house, which is very similar to the pattern of your ring!"

Chen Mange thought for a while, opened the small bag, dug it out, took out a small dagger, and gently placed it on the table.

Yuki Shiraki, who was frightened by her movement, looked at her in shock and subconsciously straightened his spine: "Even if you threaten me, I will not give up easily!"

"You misunderstood." Chen Mange pushed the dagger over: "You open it and take a look."

Yuki Shiraki looked at her hesitantly and reached out to pick up the dagger.

The dagger is slightly cool, but it is not heavy. The patterns on the scabbard are simple and heavy. After careful observation, you will find that it is made of fine steel and is inlaid with fine silver wires on it.

Yuki Shiraki knew this craftsmanship at a glance, and this was definitely the work of Master Lu.

His heartbeats like a drumbeat. He slowly pulled out the knife, and instantly all his attention was attracted by the pattern on the blade.

Chen Mange shocked him, at a loss, and his disbelief looked in his eyes. His voice was flat and slow: "This is one of the three famous swords of ethnic minorities in our country. It is named after the blade will naturally appear with bright and special textures after it is built - the Folding Flower Knife."

Folding knife?

I haven't heard it before!

The white wood Yugui observed carefully. The pattern was as smooth and natural as a flowing cloud, and the elegant and free and easy as wood grain. The most rare thing is that the pattern is so complex, but the surface is very flat. With the naked eye alone, it is impossible to tell how the pattern was made.

"The process of folding the flower knife is actually very simple. It is forged with high temperature of steel and iron, then folded in half and kneaded to form layers of patterns."

Yuki Shiraki suddenly looked up at him, and said stutteringly: "...how is that possible."

"Mr. Baimu also heard it?" Chen Mange looked at him with a gentle look: "The craftsmanship of the folding flower knife and the wood grain gold are actually almost the same."

"Impossible!" Yuki Shiraki tightly held the knife in his hand, his face flushed red: "The wood grain gold was started in the early Edo period of our country (around 1600 AD), from the Kori carving hand made by Akita Aya Takaoe!"

"As far as I know, the sculpting of the varnish carving process is made by referring to the representative carving work "Qulun·Duzhu" in China." Chen Mange's voice was neither anxious nor slow, and his eyes were always as calm as water: "The "Qulun·Duzhu" you mentioned was originally called varnishing craft in my country. It mainly overlaps the layers of two types of paints of black varnish and red varnish, and carves intricate techniques such as vortex patterns on its surface."

Yuki Shiraki looked at her in shock, stunned.

Chen Mange talked freely and was full of spirit: "Duizhu works and craftsmanship began to spread to the Puiguo around the Kamakura era in 1192 AD. Later, while the craftsmen of the Puiguo accepted and inherited the Puiguo skills, the beauty of the changing levels of the Duizhu works made the Puiguo craftsmen use the same craftsmanship to obtain similar and different effects on metal materials. They are called "wood grain gold."

Isn’t it just memorizing history? Although she is a science student, I’m sorry, she has also learned history well!

"Then, what about this knife?" Yuki Shiraki tightly held the folding knife in his hand: "my country's wood grain gold craftsmanship is mainly used in the decoration of knives such as samurai's knife handles and handguards. It was only later that my country implemented the use of the scrap knife order in 1876, so wood grain gold was used in other artifact decoration..."

Chen Mange looked at him with compassion and smiled: "You may not believe it when you say it. The large number of broken flower knifes were copied when Genghis Khan occupied various countries."

This is a mysterious battle knife that helped Genghis Khan conquer the world. It is said that it is a splitting sword between humans and swords.

Because the bladed flower knife has high hardness and good toughness, it is like breaking the sword and breaking the sword when it meets people. Genghis Khan became famous in one battle after destroying Wanyan Jin Kingdom.

Yuki Shiraki, who doesn't know much about Chinese history, has a bit of a knot in his mind.

Genghis Khan knew about it, but he didn't know exactly when it was, so he had to check it out.

As if he understood his thoughts, Chen Mange smiled and answered his questions: "Genghis Khan's reign lasted from 1206 to 1227."

Yuki Shiraki watched her leave, and the flower-breaking knife in her hand was also taken away by her. He sat absent-mindedly for a long time until the coffee was cold, and he picked it up and drank it all.

Very bitter.

He recalled all the knowledge he had received, and from what he remembered, everyone told him that wood grain and metal were original in Puppet, and even written in various textbooks.

But Chen Mange's words woke him up completely like a blow.

He staggered back to the hotel and lay down on the bed, thinking nothing.
