Chapter 19 Yan Chaonian said his eyes hurt a little
Yan Chaonian found that he really didn't know Jiang Wencheng very well, at least he didn't know he was so thick-skinned. He could withstand several cold faces, and the more he was ignored, the more excited he became. He remembered that Jia Ruzhen had been rude to him and even fought with him. What a despicable person.

Or maybe the Bo family is really facing a difficult time.

"Master, although Chaojinfang is the best in Chengdu, it is nothing compared to the rest of the world. Have you ever thought about expanding Chaojinfang and selling its fabrics and brocades to the capital?"

At this moment, Jiang Wencheng was half modest and half shy, "If the abbot is interested, Jiang may be able to help him realize his wish."

As soon as these words were spoken, the looks that several brocade shop owners around looked at Yan Chaonian were very interesting. Some had sarcasm in their eyes, some watched coldly, some were waiting to see a good show, and some even said "unparalleled", what a big tone, did they think they were just decorations?

Yan Chaonian sneered. Although Jiang Wencheng had never been involved in the government affairs, let alone doing business, didn't he understand that if something is done right, it is not a business?

Being so anxious makes you look more like a liar.

It seems that the Bo Mansion is really going to be in trouble.

"As the saying goes, there is always someone stronger than you. There is always someone better than you. Let's not talk about it. The weaving workshops of Boss Zhao, Boss Zhang, and Boss Huang have a strong foundation. The number of looms and weavers is stronger than that of Chaojinfang."

"Chaojinfang only won the championship in the Doujin competition last year by chance. Even so, the brocade that won it was not much better than the brocades submitted by these bosses. It is really unworthy of the arrogant statement that it is 'unmatched'."

He turned slightly to the side and smiled politely at the bosses, "You should know that before this, these bosses took turns to be the dealers of the Doujinkui. In the future, I would like to ask the bosses to take care of Chaojinfang."

The bosses who were dissatisfied just now immediately laughed and said, "Okay, okay, we are all weaving brocade people, it is only natural for us to help each other."

You should know that although there is fierce competition among brocade weaving workshops, they are also closely related. Often they even sell goods to other merchants. If they encounter customers with large quantities, they will sell more. If it is not enough, they will ask other brocade weaving workshops to produce it. Their only goal is to sell the most materials and make the most money.

Jiang Wencheng didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, so he came over and said these words, successfully making several people believe that he was a charlatan.

"Chao Jinfang, it's your turn."

The people from the Brocade Industry Department announced the name list of a new group, including Chaojinfang, Yunjinfang and Zhao's Brocade Workshop. Li Chun and Li Xia each came on stage holding a batch of brocade, and Boss Zhao went there in person.

After the people left, Jiang Wencheng took a step forward and was about to speak again. Yan Chaonian glanced at him and said, "Mr. Jiang, I am a woman with a husband and a son. Please don't be reckless, Mr. Jiang. My husband has a bad temper and I am afraid that your delicate body cannot bear it."

"Again, I can ask for brocade, but it must be in cash."

"Or you may have goods of equal value to exchange, but in that case you will have to go to the Jinye Division to negotiate."

After saying that, he turned around and went on stage, leaving Jiang Wencheng, who was stiff and trying to control his anger. How dare a small merchant treat him like this? !
On the stage, brocades from three families were all spread out: the Fangfang brocade of plum blossoms and cranes competing for spring, the Yusi brocade of clouds and the moon, the ground brocade of blooming precious flowers, and the Tonghai satin of auspicious peonies. The brocades hanging down from the table could be admired closely by the people below the stage, and the exclamations of exclamations could be heard everywhere.

"It really deserves to be the leading brocade workshop in Chengdu. Every product is extraordinary."

"This horse, the Plum and Crane Fighting for Spring, is bright and elegant. I can't help but imagine how elegant it would be if it were made into a dress."

"Look at this Ruyi Peony. The sea-link section is woven with gold thread. It is rich and noble. It is truly extremely rich and noble."

There are six pieces of brocade on the stage, four of which are bright red, festive and luxurious, and one piece of Yuehua brocade is very dazzling, but the most eye-catching one is the Tonghaiduan with black background and gold patterns. "This kind of full-flowered brocade is not easy to weave. Apart from other things, most weavers can't understand the warp and weft, and the technique is extremely complicated."

Jiang Wencheng also took a fancy to this golden brocade with colorful patterns and rich and gorgeous patterns. He thought the Empress Dowager would definitely like it.

"Can you guess who this belongs to?" He didn't necessarily have to choose Chaojinfang. If other brocade workshops had such superb skills, he could also choose to win them over.

"Can't tell."

The people around shook their heads. "The skills of these three families are among the best in the city. They have all won the championship in the Doujin competition. It's hard to say."

When each family’s skills reach a certain level, it is really difficult to distinguish between the better and the worse.

The people in the audience couldn't tell the difference, and the people on the stage couldn't tell the difference either. Lord Xu from the Brocade Department smiled and said that this year's brocade was even better than last year's. "It shows that all the brocade workshops didn't slack off last year, which is a good thing."

"Lord Xu is right. It is clear that it is a wise move for the court to relax the control over brocade. In recent years, both the quantity and quality have increased several times."

Several people from the Brocade Department made compliments, while several brocade weaving masters, led by Madam Qin, carefully examined and appreciated the works, and then discussed them in low voices.

The last few brocade shop owners standing on the stage either felt a sinking feeling in their hearts or secretly delighted after looking at each other's brocades, and they also said some insincere polite words to each other.

Li Chun and Li Xia stretched their necks, unable to conceal the nervousness on their faces. You know, winning the championship is not just about being able to sell more cloth, but also about receiving support from the Jinye Division and getting tax savings. There are so many benefits in between.

"Niannian, you know what's going on, right?"

Li Xia was extremely nervous.

"Do not talk."

Li Chun lowered his voice and scolded him, "Just wait for the result."

Soon three pieces of brocade were sent back, and the owner of Yunjinfang's face changed immediately. Sending them back meant that they were no longer good, and they took up two of the three pieces.

Boss Zhao breathed a sigh of relief as they had a piece of brocade sent back to them. Li Xia was about to show her joy when Li Chun secretly pinched her hand. She then showed a look of disappointment, causing Boss Zhao to mistakenly believe that they also had brocade sent back to them.

The next group came up next. Yan Chaonian was the first to leave the stage. After Li Chun returned to the stage, he laughed secretly and actually managed to keep two horses.

The next group includes Zhang's Brocade Workshop. Earlier, there was a big uproar about a thief breaking into the workshop. Many people were secretly laughing at Boss Zhang. When they saw the six pieces of brocade unfolded together, Yan Chaonian judged that Boss Zhang had not suffered any loss.

Those rumors were probably spread deliberately.

Li Chun also saw it, "Do you think it could be done by Mr. Wu from Yunjinfang? Look at his face, how bad it is."

"It is also possible that their brocade was returned just now."

A pair of eyes kept falling on her, making her feel very uncomfortable. She turned around and saw Jiang Wencheng giving her a polite smile, which was a very mean smile.

Yan Chaonian said his eyes hurt a little.
