Chapter 154 Success
Mu Yang and Wei Chen didn't have any thoughts about this, and they looked at Chen Huiyin together.

Chen Huiyin was taken aback for a moment, then realized it, nodded and said, "Yes, but you'd better change your face."

Mu Yang and Wei Chen tactfully retreated to the entrance of the alley to watch out for the wind. Chen Huiyin took the potion to remove the make-up on his face, and repainted a public face for him. He still left with Mu Yang and Wei Chen first. I went to the teahouse opposite Ding's shop to wait for news.

Ding Minhui seldom comes to the shop, so she passed by the shop today, so she stopped by the shop to have a look, who knew that when she was about to leave, a young gentleman came to the shop with a small box in his hand, and she pretended to be a guest, holding a book Posted, sitting at the counter next to it, pretending to look through it.

Tang Yaoling didn't know Mrs. Ding, but when he entered the door, he noticed her. It was because she had a strong bookish air, and when he thought about the owner of this shop, he guessed whether this was Mrs. Ding.

However, these thoughts only passed in his mind, and his expression remained unchanged. He greeted the shopkeeper as usual, then put the box on the counter, took out an inkstone, handed it to the shopkeeper and said, "This is the shopkeeper at home. An inkstone made of a new kind of stone that my elders accidentally discovered, specially asked me to sell it in Dongdu, I don’t know if the shopkeeper is interested.”

The shopkeeper had received hints from the owner earlier, so he didn't look at Ding Minhui. He reached out to take the inkstone, but as soon as his hand touched the inkstone, he couldn't help but let out a sigh: "The quality of this inkstone..." Having said that, he paused for a moment before continuing: "I'll appreciate the appreciation first."

Holding the inkstone in his hand, he first buckled it lightly, heard the sound, and then took a deep breath on the inkstone, and saw the gas gathering on the inkstone to condense into fine and small drops of water. , I already have a spectrum in my heart.

Goodbye, this inkstone is very exquisitely made. The pattern on it can be seen to be designed according to the color layer of the stone. It is in sharp contrast to the square and upright inkstones nowadays. This is the first time for him to have such a highly ornamental inkstone. See.

Then the shopkeeper said, "Little brother, I want to grind ink with this inkstone to check its ink development, is that okay?"

Tang Yaoling nodded and said: "Of course it can, but I'm not boasting. My inkstone emits ink, but also stores ink. The ink is rubbed silently. The ink produced is smooth and smooth, and the pen will not be drawn out. The ink will not dry or stink for several days."

After listening to the introduction, the shopkeeper did not say anything, turned around to fetch water and ink, and in a short while, the ink was ground out of this inkstone, and it was exactly as the gentleman said, this inkstone emits ink quickly, grinds ink silently, and grinds ink quickly. The ink that comes out is smooth.

He spread out another piece of paper, took a brush and dipped it in ink, and wrote a few words on the paper, and it was true that the gentleman said that the brush would not be drawn out. As for the remaining ink in the inkstone after it was sealed, it would not dry for several days. Stinky, he also believed it, the quality of this inkstone is not inferior to Duanyan, and it has more advantages than Duanyan in appearance.

"My lord, this inkstone is a good inkstone. I can take all five inkstones. I will pay ten taels of silver for each inkstone."

Tang Yaoling shook his head, and said, "Shopkeeper, I won't sell this inkstone to you, but I want to put it on consignment in your shop. I will give you a [-]% commission for every successful sale of an inkstone."

The shopkeeper did not expect that the young man in front of him would make such a request. If it is a consignment sale, there is actually no loss to the shop, but it only occupies a small space. If it is sold, it can get [-]% commission. Words have nothing to lose.

But he thinks more long-term. Although this inkstone is not well-known at the moment, who can say for sure what will happen next, but the day when this inkstone will become famous all over the world, and reaching a long-term cooperative relationship with this person is what he wants most. Because of the important result, when he proposed to accept the inkstone, he would give the price of twelve one inkstone.

Therefore, the shopkeeper said carefully: "Mr., putting the inkstone in the shop for consignment is a profitable business for us, but I am optimistic about the prospect of this inkstone. Such a good inkstone will definitely be popular among literati in the future." I like it, so I want to reach a long-term cooperation with you, which is also a win-win situation, what do you think!"

Tang Yaoling thought for a while before opening his mouth: "The sincerity of the shopkeeper, I already felt it when I asked for ten taels of silver for one inkstone, but the consignment of these five inkstones was set by the elders in the family, so I don't want to go against it, but next time If there is a finished inkstone at home, I will definitely send it to your shop and sell it to the shopkeeper."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper knew that the man in front of him was also a transparent person, and he adhered to the orders of his elders, so he was a promise-keep. After all, this inkstone was not well-known, so he could accept ten taels of silver. He could fool his family no matter how much he took out, but he didn't do it.

So the shopkeeper smiled and said, "Okay, I'll write the paperwork for you right now, and I look forward to our cooperation in the future."

Tang Yaoling pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes were firm: "I believe in the future, I will cooperate with your shop for a long time."

The matter was negotiated smoothly, and the paperwork was signed. Tang Yaoling took the paperwork and left the shop with ease.

On the opposite side of the teahouse, the three of Chen Huiyin saw Tang Yaoling coming out. She asked Mu Yang and Wei Chen to meet Tang Yaoling first, and sat for a while before getting up and going to Ding's shop.

At this time, Ding Minhui had just finished trying the inkstone, and the shopkeeper was about to take the inkstone to the backyard to wash it clean. Seeing a customer coming in, he put the inkstone back on the counter and greeted him: "What do you want to buy, little lady?"

Chen Huiyin looked around the store and said, "Buy an inkstone,"

The shopkeeper invited people to sit down in front of the counter, and was about to get the inkstone in the shop, when he heard the little lady let out a sigh, followed by the little lady's inquiry: "Shopkeeper, do you sell this inkstone?"

The shopkeeper was moved slightly, and said with a smile: "This inkstone has been used, so it is not easy to sell again, but we still have an inkstone made of the same stone in our shop, which is more beautiful than this one."

After he finished speaking, he took out the remaining four. After Chen Huiyin deliberately struggled for a while, she chose the inkstone that originally belonged to her.

Her inkstone is in the shape of an oval pond, the ink pool is a pond, and the surrounding green layers are carved into lifelike lotus leaves, and the purple layer is carved into the appearance of water lilies.

After choosing, she seemed to think of something, looked at the ink in the other inkstone, then nodded in satisfaction, and asked the shopkeeper: "Can I use the ink ground from this inkstone to try the ink color."

The shopkeeper hurriedly took a new sheet of paper and laid it out, letting Chen Huiyin play as he pleased.

Chen Huiyin quickly drew an ink landscape painting on a small piece of paper, then put down the pen and said, "It's a good inkstone, how do you sell this inkstone?"

The shopkeeper glanced at the dress made of colorful silk on the little lady in front of him, and said with a smile, "30 taels of silver."
