Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 155 Brother Has Qingbai Porcelain

Su Chen was silent for a while, and asked tentatively: "Will the five families jointly suppress, will the situation be serious?"

Bai Susu said solemnly: "It is not optimistic. Runzhou City is the second largest city in the Tang Dynasty, and it is adjacent to the Jinling Ferry. Boats entering the river and going out to sea are all boarded here. Therefore, Runzhou City has a large population and many merchants, and the status of the Jiangzuo Chamber of Commerce is also important. It is even more important. Large and small merchants and gentry are grouped together, and there is an annual meeting of the merchant alliance every year. According to the size and financial resources of the family, some shares and resources are allocated, and there are agreements on the scale of business.”

"If the five major families suppress the Bai family at the same time, those second- and third-rate families that are attached to them will follow suit and cut off their business with the Bai family. At that time, the Bai family's shops will face tremendous pressure, and there will be out of stock and crowding out. Not only porcelain, but also drinks, raw meat, vegetables, seafood, sweet and sour salt tea, silk cloth, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, etc., may be affected. The danger is too great to be alone."

Su Chen understood in his heart that this was like the business war and stock war between two rival group companies in the future.

"Which one of the nine major families is the Bai family closely related to? Do you have any allies?"

Bai Susu pondered for a while, and replied: "Among the nine major families, the Bai family has the best relationship with the Lu family. The current patriarch of the Lu family, Lu Tiannan, had a good relationship with my father back then."

Su Chen asked suspiciously: "What kind of business does the Lu family do?"

Bai Susu looked at Su Chen in surprise, wondering if there are people in Runzhou City who don't know what the main business of each of the nine major families is?

"Are you really unaware of the Lu family's business?" Bai Susu questioned.

Su Chen said embarrassingly: "I just want you to explain it to me in detail again, it's better than the news I heard in the market! Sigh, let me tell you, Miss, don't speak so bluntly, okay? You should have some fun .”

"..." Bai Susu felt another urge to beat someone up.

Fortunately, Miss Bai's self-cultivation is good enough, so she took a deep breath and stopped entangled with him on this topic.

Bai Susu said: "The Lu family is in the tea business. They claim that their ancestors are the descendants of Lu Yu, the tea sage of the Tang Dynasty. This needs to be verified by the genealogy. Many tea gardens and tea forests outside Runzhou City have been contracted by the Lu family. , planting all kinds of tea trees, etc. There are many types of tea and the quality is also very good. All the tea used in our Baijia restaurant and shop is also purchased from the Lu family, and the Lu family also buys a large amount of white tea from the Bai family every year. Porcelain tea sets, etc."

Su Chen nodded, and understood that the Lu family's business is a wealthy businessman who produces and sells tea.During the Silk Road or maritime trade during the Tang and Song dynasties, the Central Plains mainly exported ceramics, tea, gold and silverware, etc. Therefore, don’t underestimate tea, and those who can become bigger and stronger are definitely big merchants.

"At critical times, can the Lu family give the Bai family firm support, such as borrowing money to supplement the Bai family's capital chain, or standing beside the Bai family to fight side by side?" Su Chen asked, wanting to distinguish between friends and foes.

Bai Susu pondered for a moment, then sighed and said: "Businessmen seek profits, but loyalty is not the most important thing. If the Bai family has no trump cards to turn losses into profits and turn defeat into victory, the Lu family will not firmly support the Bai family, and at most they will lend hundreds of thousands in private Use money for emergency, provide some goods and materials to meet short-term needs, but in the long run, we still have to rely on ourselves.”

Su Chen said: "Didn't you already have a plan when you persuaded those old Bai family members? Using soap and soap, and high-purity wine to make cakes and win people's hearts, can also persuade the Lu family members!"

Bai Susu shook his head and said: "Lu Tiannan is mature and will not believe these words. Even though we have soap in hand, the Bai family's main industry, porcelain, has been hit hard after all. Soap and soap alone can only be used to calculate strange tricks, but It is impossible to completely turn the crisis of the Bai family into safety and break the calculation of the Ding family."

"As for the high-purity wine, it takes a year to complete a series of processes such as fermentation and brewing, unless you use your simple method to distill it by buying wine and distill it the fastest. But buying a large amount of wine, one In the first place, it will arouse the vigilance of the Fan family and the Du family, blocking the supply of wine to us; secondly, the cost is also high, and our profit is not high. Only by brewing by ourselves and grasping the source can we reduce the cost."

This Bai Susu's business sense is still very strong, and many details, cost control, and hidden dangers are clearly considered.

"The main business is porcelain?" Su Chen paused suddenly, and only then remembered that he had boiled it all night last night to refine blue and white porcelain.

But after a lot of tossing around today, I forgot all about it, and only now did I remember it.

Su Chen reached out his hand to feel in the pouch hanging from his waist, and took out the small palm-sized porcelain bottle. Although it looked a bit ugly, the color of the enamel was different. He handed it to Bai Susu and said, "Look at it. this!"

"what is this?"

"Just take a look, how about it?" Su Chen asked happily.

"The shape is a bit ugly! The lines are not good, there are many flaws, and there are small cracks. Where did you pick up this defective product?" Bai Susu analyzed it objectively.

Su Chen's smile froze, and he stared at Bai Susu unkindly.

"What's wrong?" Bai Susu looked at him frowning angrily, a little puzzled.

Su Chen said heartbrokenly: "It's said that men only like to look at the appearance and don't pay attention to the inner meaning, women are the same!"

Bai Susu was confused and asked, "Su Chen, are you alright?"

Su Chen said unhappily: "Take a good look at the glaze color!"

After hearing the words, Bai Susu carefully observed the glaze color of the porcelain vase with some curiosity, her face was startled in an instant, her vermilion lips parted slightly, and her eyes straightened a little.

This is what I want!

Only then did a smug smile appear on Su Chen's face, and he curled his lips and said, "The glaze color of this porcelain bottle was developed by me after seven days and seven nights of work in the Bai family's porcelain manor, forgetting to eat and sleep, wearing stars and wearing moons, and painstakingly developing it. Call it Qingbai Porcelain! Although the appearance is not beautiful enough, it is because my technique is not skilled enough and I am still lacking in subtle techniques, but the glaze color of this Qingbai Porcelain is very authentic, it is a brand new type of glazed porcelain."

"Qingbai porcelain!" Bai Susu muttered to himself with surprise in his eyes, already understood its meaning.

This is a kind of porcelain between celadon and white porcelain. The glaze color is white with slight flashes of cyan. There is white in the blue and blue in the white. It is as transparent as water. The carcass is as light as jade, not as dark as celadon. It is dark and cold, and not as white and monotonous as white porcelain. The glaze color of this blue and white porcelain is very in line with the requirements of the scholar-bureaucrat class for "gentlemen are modest, gentle and moist like jade".

"Is this a brand new porcelain made by you?" Bai Susu almost exclaimed, how indifferent, elegant, calm, cool, and elegant she was in the past...but now she has lost her sense of normalcy and broke the cold goddess image becomes more realistic.

"Yes, it's the surprise, it's the cry, it's very real, do it three times!" Su Chen smiled, hoping to guide the eldest lady of the Bai family to be more flesh and blood, and not to be so cold and calm as before.

"Don't lie to me, just tell me, is it your newest one!" At this moment, Bai Susu slapped the table suddenly, as if Peng Qingqing possessed her body, becoming violent and domineering!

Su Chen was a little dumbfounded, just now he planned to train Bai Susu to be a more natural and frank lady, not another violent girl like Peng Qingqing!
