Chapter 353 Life-Saving Token
Li Zhenbang was not affected by Su Yuquan's words, and still had a charming smile on his face. He didn't notice that Zhao Tianlong was staring at his face at the moment and lost his mind for a while.
"Although I didn't make the wooden products in this room by myself, the material selection and craftsmanship are considered superior. This jewelry box is not made of high-grade materials, so in comparison, it should be regarded as half a catty!"
Mentioning his own works, Su Yuquan's face was full of complacency. It is already a matter of pride for him to be able to use larch to produce such a finished product made of high-grade wood comparable to mahogany incense wood in a short period of time.
"If the things I take out are of better quality than this jewelry box, does that mean they are better than the wooden products in this side hall?" Li Zhenbang stared at Su Yuquan and asked.
"If it's made of larch, and it's better than the Longfeng Chengxiang jewelry box I made, then I admit it's better than the woodwork in this room." Su Yuquan said cautiously.
"Your Majesty, don't forget our promise." Li Zhenbang bowed to Zhao Tianlong and said.
What puzzled Li Zhenbang was that he didn't get a response from Zhao Tianlong, so he raised his head involuntarily, and met Zhao Tianlong's eyes.
Seeing Zhao Tianlong's eyes, Li Zhenbang couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body. The eyes were a little empty, but they contained too much emotion, which was really hard to interpret.
After Zhao Tianlong and Li Zhenbang looked at each other, they obviously realized their gaffe and cleared their throats.
"Zhenbang, what did you just say?"
"A promise between us?" Li Zhenbang asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry, as long as the quality of what you take out is not much different from Master Su's jewelry box, our promise is still valid." After being in a daze for a while, Zhao Tianlong's heart was slightly inclined to Li Zhenbang.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty." Li Zhenbang was determined in his heart, even though he didn't know why Zhao Tianlong would suddenly favor him, it was a good thing after all.
Li Zhenbang took out a jewelry box from his bosom. This jewelry box was the one that Liu Zhengde used to test Li Zhenbang, and it was the one made by Liu Lin.
Liu Zhenbang thought for a while, and put this plain jewelry box on the table.
Zhao Tianlong picked it up to have a look, and frowned. He could feel that the craftsman who made this jewelry box hadn't reached the ultimate level, but it gave him a pleasing feeling when he stared at it. Normally, good is good and bad is bad.
However, the workmanship of this jewelry box is obviously not perfect, but it gives people a sense of beauty.
Zhao Tianlong couldn't guess this feeling, shook his head, and put the jewelry box on the table again.
Su Yuquan's heart jumped inexplicably when Li Zhenbang took out the jewelry box. When Zhao Tianlong put the jewelry box on the table, he couldn't wait to pick it up and looked it over carefully.
"Master Su, how about this jewelry box?" Li Zhenbang looked at Su Yuquan calmly, but became nervous. He does not carry Lu Lianggong's work with him now, only this one made by Liu Lin.
"If you give this girl a few more years to polish, I believe she will become a blockbuster. I don't know how to evaluate it. If you look at it purely from the perspective of skill, it is very ordinary to be honest. But if you look at it from the essence, this is a A master-level person. A newcomer has the essence of a master-level, which is very contradictory, so I can't comment." Su Yuquan frowned deeply, staring at the jewelry box in his hand, feeling very contradictory.
Hearing Su Yuquan's words, Li Zhenbang, who was still holding a contemptuous heart, felt huge waves in his heart. With a jewelry box, he was able to see that it was a girl's work, and he saw the essence. For these, Su Yuquan is indeed worthy of the title of master.
"Then how does Master Su plan to evaluate?" Li Zhenbang looked at Su Yuquan expectantly.
"If it was a work several years or even more than ten years later, I might admit that the larch work is superior to mine, but as far as the work is concerned, it is far behind." Su Yuquan hesitated, sighed and shook his head.
"Master, do you mean it's a thousand miles away?" Li Zhenbang's tone was full of dissatisfaction, and he even suspected that Su Yuquan had violated his conscience. He knew that there might be a slight gap, because of the skill, and even slightly higher in essence, but it was definitely not a thousand miles away.
"No, no." Su Yuquan shook his head.
"If it is still like this after a few years or even more than ten years, it is indeed a thousand miles away, but if you improve a lot after a few years, it will be only a small difference. If you can let her worship me, then I believe , at most five years, she will definitely become a famous master in the empire!" Su Yuquan said with a smile, and now he has a heart of love for talents.
"Sorry, Master Su, I can't make the decision for her. She is already a disciple of Master Lu Lianggong, but I will bring your kindness to her. I can't help her make specific decisions." Li Zhenbang said apologetically .
"Lu Lianggong?" Su Yuquan looked at Li Zhenbang suspiciously. He had never heard of this name, but it was obvious that Li Zhenbang was not fooling him.
"Master Su, what do you think of our competition this time?" This is what Li Zhenbang is eager to know, so he asked out.
"As far as this work is concerned, I won, unless you can come up with a better work. Since she is Lu Lianggong's disciple, then this Lu Lianggong is probably not an ordinary person. If you can come up with Lu Lianggong's Let me have a look at the work, maybe I can make the final judgment." Su Yuquan's eyes shone with anticipation.
He had never heard of the name of Lu Lianggong, but he was willing to meet someone who could teach such a disciple. If the other party is not as good as oneself, then the matter of accepting apprentices should not be difficult.
"This..." Li Zhenbang became embarrassed, he came back in a hurry this time, and did not bring Lu Lianggong's works with him. The promotion of larch products has not been put on his agenda. Originally, he planned to wait until the end of the college competition.
"If you can't get it out, then I can only declare that I have won." Su Yuquan said with a sigh, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.
Li Zhenbang was a little anxious this time. Su Yuquan didn't follow the routine. In fact, the two jewelry boxes were not much different, each with its own characteristics. It is not impossible to say that they are evenly divided.
Originally, what His Majesty said was almost okay, but Su Yuquan responded with a slight difference, and explained it well. According to what he said, there is no difference. The only result is Not as good as him.
Zhao Tianlong seemed to be quite satisfied with the current results, and looked at Li Zhenbang playfully. If it ended like this, Li Zhenbang was betting his head.
"Li Zhenbang, if you lose, I don't want your head, so I will punish you to study with the little princes in the palace, and be a book boy. Haha!" Zhao Tianlong said with a big smile. It still looks good.
Li Zhenbang's brain is running fast, Lu Lianggong and Lu Lianggong's wooden products
Suddenly Li Zhenbang's eyes lit up. Although he doesn't have the daily necessities and handicrafts made by Lu Lianggong, it doesn't mean he doesn't have anything else.
"Your Majesty, wait a moment. I'll come as soon as I go." Li Zhenbang and His Majesty took a break, turned and left.
Everyone stared wide-eyed and looked at each other, wondering if Li Zhenbang was going to run away or if he really had something to offer.
Soon, Li Zhenbang ran back again, with a look of complacency in his eyes, obviously he found something that could be sure of winning.
"Li Zhenbang, I can declare in advance that even if the thing you find is better than Master Su's jewelry box, you may not win, because you will use the person who made this thing to fulfill our agreement." His Majesty the King saw Li Zhenbang With a smug look on his face, he couldn't help but strike out loudly.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, how could I do such a stupid thing! Then what's the use even if I win?" Li Zhenbang showed a very gentlemanly smile.
Zhao Tianlong nodded, since Li Zhenbang has said so, he can just sit on the sidelines.
To everyone's bewilderment, Li Zhenbang actually took out a wooden token from his pocket this time. The token was exquisitely made with only the word Lu in the middle.
This token is exactly the token of Lu Zhai. It was held by Lu Lianggong before. Craftsmen made it by hand, so it is naturally not ordinary.
As soon as the token came out, everyone was a little puzzled. This token is neither furniture nor decoration, so how can it be used for comparison?
But laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the way. As soon as the token came out, Su Yuquan froze on the spot, took the token directly from Li Zhenbang's hand with trembling hands and began to watch it carefully.
The token was indeed made of larch, and the material was even lower than the piece of larch he used, but the aura revealed by the token shocked him. In terms of skill alone, I am on par with the maker of this token, but when it comes to essence, I am still a bit behind the maker.
After watching for a while, Su Yuquan shook his head, sighed and returned the token to Li Zhenbang.
"I admit that he did better than me on the larch. This person should be the girl's master, right? I am very much looking forward to the opportunity to meet him and compare skills in person." Su Yuquan said with some expectation.
"There will be a chance to meet, but he only makes larch." Li Zhenbang reminded him kindly.
"Only larch?" Su Yuquan looked at Li Zhenbang suspiciously, and found that his eyes were very clear, and when he didn't lie to himself, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought
