"Greetings, Young Master!"
Gongshu Hong took a few steps forward and gave Wang Zhe a complicated ancient salute. He was like Mo Jiazi.
"Mr. Gongshu, you're too polite. Please sit down!" Wang Zhe said quickly. Although he didn't know much about Gongshu Hong's salute, he enjoyed it very much. It was an ancient salute! He couldn't see it on a normal day.
"Thank you, Young Master!"
Gongshu Hong sat next to Wang Zhe without hesitation. As the head of the Gongshu Family, Gongshu Hong didn't need to be submissive in front of Wang Zhe.
"Mr. Gongshu, how are you doing recently? How are you adapting to Chang 'an?" Wang Zhe asked with concern. He was no longer the arrogant and bossy person he had been in front of the shopkeepers. Instead, he was back to being a well-educated young master.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Young Master. I've been in Chang 'an for a few days. I've learned a lot from the exchanges with the craftsmen in Chang' an!" Gongshu Hong said with emotion.
As the capital, Chang 'an had gathered a lot of skilled craftsmen and talented people, each with their own strengths. Gongshu Hong's arrogance when he came out of the mountain had gradually disappeared.
In addition, Mo Jiazi's ability to create clouds with one turn of the hand and rain with one turn of the hand had opened his eyes. Besides, Mo Jiazi had done all kinds of legendary things before. The idea of defeating Meton with ease had long disappeared.
In the past few days, Gongshu Hong reluctantly passed on some of the unique skills of carpentry that had been passed down for thousands of years in the Gongshu Family. Only then did he have a firm foothold in Chang 'an.
"Mr. Gongshu, I'm wondering how the things I entrusted to you are now?" Wang Zhe asked eagerly.
"Fortunately, I didn't fail you!" Gongshu Hong said proudly.
He waved his hand. Immediately, Gongshu Lun led several disciples of the Gongshu Family in carrying several pots of different sizes.
"Family Head!" Gongshu Lun saluted.
"Put them here!" Gongshu Hong nodded.
Gongshu Lun led the disciples of the Gongshu Family to put the pots in front of everyone.
"Is this a frying pan?" Wang Ningcheng was surprised. He felt like crying with joy. He had been looking forward to this frying pan for a long time. If there was no frying pan, Sun Yangzheng's restaurant would probably go bankrupt.
"Yes!" Gongshu Hong said proudly.
Wang Ningcheng quickly stepped forward and carefully looked at the frying pan made by the Gongshu Family..... and frowned, he said, "Mr. Gongshu, your frying pan seems to be a bit heavy!"
Although Wang Ningcheng had never used the wok in the Mo Family Village, he had heard that the wok in the Mo Family Village was as thin as a cicada's wing.
The wok in front of him was at least 30% heavier than the Mo Family's wok. Even though it was only 30% heavier, it had to be known that the chefs of various restaurants had to cook a large number of dishes every day. With such a heavy wok, the burden on the chefs was more than doubled!
Gongshu Hong frowned and said, "Mr. Gongshu, this frying pan is indeed a bit heavier than the Gongshu Family's frying pan. The Gongshu Family can also make frying pans as light as the Gongshu Family's frying pan. However, they are easy to break and can't be used for long."
"It's okay if it can't be used for long. We can just prepare more frying pans!" Wang Zhe waved his hand. Sun Yangzheng's restaurant was not in urgent need of frying pans. It was not the time to care about this. As long as it was not the Gongshu Family's frying pan, it was not a big deal to spend more iron.
"Uh! Young Master, you are right. "Wang Ningcheng was speechless. He could only obey. But when he thought about the frying pan breaking one after another in the kitchen of Sun Yangzheng's restaurant, he could not help but shudder.
"Young Master, the Gongshu Family has just arrived in Chang 'an City, and they have already restored the frying pan. Although it is a bit flawed, I believe that in time, they will be able to make a frying pan that is not inferior to the Gongshu Family's frying pan," Wang Zhi said quickly.
"Shopkeeper Wang Zhi is right. We are only one step away! Young Master, please believe in the Gongshu Family's ability. In time, they will be able to make a frying pan that is as thin as a cicada's wing, "Gongshu Hong said proudly.
"Of course I believe in the Gongshu Family's ability. In the future, we will entrust the horseshoes of the Wang Family's Horse Company to the Gongshu Family!" Wang Zhi said.
"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Wang Zhi! We will definitely make you satisfied! "Gongshu Hong said happily. He had received another unexpected business.
"Despicable!" Wang Ningcheng could not help but gnash his teeth. Do you think frying pans are horseshoes? Any blacksmith can make one!
"Thank you, Mr. Gongshu." Wang Zhe nodded.
The Gongshu Family had only been in Chang 'an City for half a month, but they had already solved two problems for the Wang Family. At least they did not have to worry about the Gongshu Family's face anymore. Although the Gongshu Family's craftsmanship was not as good as the Mo Family's, it was much better than other craftsmen.
"By the way, the Wang Family has another problem. Please help us, Mr. Gongshu!" Wang Zhe said politely.
"Young Master Wang, please tell me!" Gongshu Hong said seriously.
Wang Zhe told them about the dispute between the Wang Family's fine salt in Yun City and the Mo Family's snow salt in detail. Of course, he beautified the process and made himself the weaker party.
"Young Master, what do you mean?" Gongshu Hong asked.
"As long as the Gongshu Family can develop a method to purify snow salt from coarse salt, the Wang Family is willing to buy it with 10,000 coins!" Wang Zhe gave a shocking number.
"10,000 coins!" Gongshu Hong exclaimed. Even when the Gongshu Family was at its peak, they had not seen 10,000 coins, let alone now when they were in decline.
Wang Zhi and the other two were also shocked. They did not expect Wang Zhe to be so generous.
Among the three of them, only the salt merchant, Wang Dong, was not surprised. He had been in the salt business for many years. Of course, he knew how profitable the salt business was. The Wang family started out in the salt business. In addition to the fine salt in Yuncheng, they also controlled a lot of salt pans to produce coarse salt. If they could turn coarse salt into snow salt, how much wealth would that be? At that time, ten thousand coins would simply be not worth mentioning.
If the Wang Family could get the method to make snow salt from the Mo Family, his mistake of losing the market would be nothing. Thinking of this, Wang Dong could not help but look at Gongshu Hong eagerly. Whether he could make a comeback or not depended on Gongshu Hong.
"Yes! As long as the Gongshu Family can figure out the method to make snow salt, you will get 10,000 coins, "Wang Zhe said affirmatively.
"Young Master, you think too highly of the Gongshu Family." Gongshu Hong smiled bitterly.
"Why don't you help?" Wang Zhe said unhappily.
Gongshu Hong waved his hand and said, "The Gongshu Family has just come to Chang 'an City, but we have received a favor from Young Master Wang. We are not ignorant people. How can we not help?"
"Then Mr. Gongshu …?" Wang Dong asked anxiously. This was related to his future prospects.
"Lun, give it to Young Master Wang!" Gongshu Hong waved his hand, and Gongshu Lun, who was standing beside him, handed a jar to Wang Zhe.
"Is this snow salt?" Wang Zhe opened the jar and saw the glittering and translucent salt grains in it. They were all white and bright.
"Really?" Wang Dong was very excited. He hurried forward and saw the white salt grains in the jar.
"No, the snow salt of the Mo Family is much finer than this." Wang Dong frowned and took out a few big salt grains from the salt jar without caring about his image. He put them in his mouth and tasted them.
"Pooh!" The bitter taste made Wang Dong spit out.
"This is coarse salt!" Wang Dong confirmed.
Wang Zhe and the others also tasted the salt one by one, and they were all amazed. Some of the coarse salt in the salt jar had already begun to detoxify. The most obvious feature of the snow salt of the Mo Family was that it would not detoxify even if it was left outside for half a month.
"When we first came to Chang 'an City, we wanted to repay Young Master Wang. We wanted to refine the snow salt to share Young Master Wang's burden. Unfortunately, we were one step behind!" Gongshu Hong said regretfully.
"One step behind?" Wang Zhe looked at the white salt and couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"The Gongshu family tried their best, but they could only figure out that the secret of the Mo family's salt production was to purify the sand in it. As for the taste and the granules, I'm afraid it's the Mo family's secret technique! The Gongshu Family can't do anything about it behind closed doors! "Gongshu Hong said with a regretful look.
"You are too polite, Mr. Gongshu. It is not easy for the Gongshu Family to do this in such a short time." Wang Zhe was disappointed, but he still said politely.
After all, the iron pot and half-purified coarse salt that the Gongshu Family had produced in a short period of time had already proved their value. The other things were not their fault. If the secret skills of the Mo Family could be easily deciphered, the secret skills of the Living Fish would not have stumped the entire Chang 'an City.
