Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

After a moment, Min Qingshu decided to take the initiative.

"Mr. Chen, what do you think of this piece of cloth from our Min family?"

Chen Lang stood up, clapped his hands and said, "Excellent! Excellent!"

"The Min family is worthy of being the leader in Linshui's cloth business. Their skills are first-class."

"I think even if this piece of cloth is placed in Guangling Prefecture, there will be few rivals who can match it."

Min Qingshu really wanted to interpret Chen Lang's words as sarcasm or impotent rage.

But Chen Lang's sincere eyes made it impossible for him to think so.

Master Ye Weiye of the Weaving and Dyeing Institute also stood up at this moment and asked, "Chen Lang, it's finally your Xu Cloth Shop's turn. Bring up your competing fabrics so that everyone can appreciate them."

Chen Lang smiled and said, "I abstain."

Ye Wei's eyes darkened, and he said coldly: "Young man, think twice before speaking."

"On such a grand and solemn occasion, you say you want to abstain. You are showing disregard for our weaving and dyeing factory, the textile bureau, and the entire court!"

Chen Lang said calmly, "Master Ye, I can't afford such a big hat."

"There were no regulations in advance, so I can't give up."

Ye Wei gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to give up, why do you want to participate?"

Chen Lang said, "Can't you just broaden your horizons?"

"You!" Ye Wei's defense broke down on the spot: "You are so arrogant, Chen Lang, and you have no respect for the court. I will punish you..."

Before he could finish his words, another official from the weaving and dyeing institute hurried onto the stage and whispered a few words quickly into Ye Wei's ear.

Ye Wei's face turned pale and blue, but he finally swallowed the rest of his words and left angrily.

This scene also stunned everyone else present.

Ye Wei, one of the three giants of the weaving and dyeing institute, only said half of the harsh words to Chen Lang.

The question is, if Chen Lang is really that awesome, then why didn't he meet Ye Wei after three consecutive visits?

Everyone was really puzzled.

Chen Lang was not in a hurry to leave, but walked straight to the stage and observed the Min family's fabrics closely.

Min Qingshu felt inexplicably nervous and swallowed subconsciously.

Min Tianxing rushed onto the stage in two steps, looking as if he was afraid that Chen Lang would beat his son.

Chen Lang touched the fabric, looked at Min Qingshu, and said with a half-smile, "Is the stolen thing useful?"

Min Qingshu was furious and said, "What the hell are you talking about!"

Min Tianxing patted his son's shoulder, signaling him not to get too excited and not to make a fool of himself in front of others.

Then he said to Chen Lang, "Mr. Chen, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want."

Chen Lang laughed and said, "Oh, look at my mouth. I blurted out nonsense when I got excited. Sorry."

"But as Linshui's cloth merchants, you didn't let the title of Imperial Merchant fall to an outsider. Even if you used stolen goods, it's still admirable."

Min Qingshu gnashed his teeth and said, "Tell me clearly what you meant by stolen and whose property you stole."

Chen Lang said calmly, "Actually, if you ask me, given the Min family's current situation, why bother stealing things? Wouldn't it be better to just steal people?"

"Oh, I forgot. It seems you guys actually planned to steal someone, but you just didn't succeed."

Min Tianxing couldn't help it anymore, and said with a sinister look in his eyes: "Mr. Chen, I have given you enough face, please don't be shameless."

Chen Lang approached Min Tianxing and whispered, "I scared Ye Wei away, and you think you can scare me too?"

Min Tianxing gnashed his teeth, "I believe in justice! Justice!"

"Huh?" Chen Lang was stunned. "Oh my god, that's awesome."

"You don't even blush when you say such things to my face."

"I admire you."

After saying this, he bowed and said goodbye.

Chen Lang's withdrawal and departure disrupted the proceedings of the banquet. Although the officials of the weaving and dyeing institute were annoyed, they did not dare to do anything to Chen Lang.

Not to mention that Chen Lang was holding a badge of "Imperial Prison Commissioner" in his arms. Just now, Pei Ming, the most powerful general under Zhu Sui'an, secretly came to the scene and greeted the officials of the weaving and dyeing institute.

The content is very simple, just one sentence.

"Chen Lang is the nephew of Duke Zhu."

He did not forcefully express his willingness to take care of Chen Lang, nor did he demand that the weaving and dyeing institute give Chen Lang the title of imperial merchant. He simply stated the relationship between the two.

Chen Lang's abstention actually made the officials of the weaving and dyeing institute feel relieved.

After all, the fabrics produced by the Min family were impeccable, and coupled with the various connections they had made before, they had almost fed the officials of the dyeing and weaving factory to the point of vomiting. Apart from visiting Ye Wei and failing, Chen Lang had never contacted any official of the dyeing and weaving factory again.

It is really hard to convince people to force him to be an imperial merchant.

About a cup of tea later, order was restored at the scene. The Weaving and Dyeing Institute announced that the title of Royal Merchant would eventually go to the Min family.

So Lai Han left too.

However, he walked much more violently than Chen Lang, and he almost smashed things as he walked. Wherever he passed, tables, chairs, and benches were all overturned, and several vases were also broken.

But when the Linshui cloth merchant saw this scene, he only felt relieved.

The more Lai Han broke down his defenses, the happier the Linshui cloth merchants were.

After Lai Han left Tingxue Tower, the Min father and son were immediately surrounded by most of the small and medium-sized cloth merchants, and congratulations came one after another.

Tang Kewei was one of the few people who did not go up to congratulate Min's father.

The shopkeeper was a little puzzled and said, "Boss, if you don't show up now, it will be difficult to get some orders for New Year's cloth from the Min family later."

Tang Kewei said, "Don't you think it's strange?"

The shopkeeper asked, "What's strange?"

"Chen Lang's attitude, Lord Ye's attitude, and the attitudes of the Min family father and son."

"It's so weird, it makes me feel something is wrong," said Tang Kewei.

The shopkeeper frowned: "Boss, maybe you are too sensitive, why don't I feel anything is wrong?"

Tang Kewei asked, "Even if they are all normal, do you think the Lai family will accept this result so easily?"

"I have a feeling that this matter is not over yet, and this quota has not really fallen to the Min family."

"It won't be too late to talk to the Min family after everything is settled."

"Even if the Min family refuses to give us orders, it won't matter. Our Tang's Cloth Shop won't be unable to survive just because we can't get orders for New Year's cloth."

The shopkeeper pondered for a moment and said, "Boss, your concerns are somewhat reasonable."

Tang Kewei looked at the bear paw on the table and suddenly said, "If I pack up this bear paw and go visit Chen Lang to discuss cooperation, will he agree?"

The shopkeeper was stunned: "Boss, I don't quite understand..."

Tang Kewei smiled and said, "The Min family will definitely make cheongsams. With the title of Imperial Merchant, the Min family won't be afraid of Chen Lang suing them for infringement. When that happens, all Chen Lang can do is expand production."

"But Linshui County's market is limited. Production has increased, but the audience hasn't. That's when Chen Lang has to consider exporting."

"As for export channels, our Tang family is not necessarily worse than the Min family."

"Seeking cooperation with Chen Lang in advance will also make a good impression, right?"

The shopkeeper said, "Boss, I don't understand why you have to pack the bear paws..."

Tang Kewei said: "Because it tastes good."

The shopkeeper: “Ah?”

Tang Kewei laughed heartily and said, "Just kidding, let's go home."
