"Thank you, Brother Qi. See you later."
Ye Laosan didn't drink too much. After asking Qi Menghui for directions, he prepared to go to the clinic to see Ye Changrui who was still recovering from his injuries.
The two of them separated directly in the mutton soup restaurant.
Qi Menghui was slightly tipsy and hummed a little tune as he returned to the Chief of Works.
As soon as I stepped into the gate of the bamboo and wood business, I heard someone shouting, "Qi Menghui is here! He's back!"
Immediately afterwards, two young men who were also apprentices ran up and clamped him on the left and right.
Qi Menghui was so scared that he broke out in a sweat and sobered up a lot.
"What's going on? What happened?"
"Master Liu is looking for you everywhere. You'll know if you come with us!" said one of them.
The person on the other side, who usually had a better relationship with him, whispered, "Did you make a mistake? Master Liu is so anxious that he's almost turned the bamboo and wood business upside down."
When Qi Menghui heard this, he sobered up completely and his face turned a little paler.
It’s over, the truth must have been revealed.
When Qi Menghui was brought to Master Liu, he looked half dead.
Master Liu waved his hand to let the others go, and then he closed the door tightly before asking, "Qi Menghui, who made this part?"
When Qi Menghui heard that this was indeed the case, he collapsed to the ground, trembling all over. After a long while, he dragged out a tearful voice and said, "Master Liu, this is all my fault. Everyone has their own responsibility. I broke your incense burner. If you want to punish me, I will accept it."
When Master Liu heard this, he stamped his feet in anxiety.
"Who asked you this? I'm asking you, who made this replacement?"
"I, I did it..." Qi Menghui wanted to take the responsibility himself and did not give Ye Lao San away.
"You made it? How dare you say that? Do you have the skills to do it?" Master Liu was so angry that he laughed. "Hurry up and tell me who made it. I have something important to do."
After Master Liu finished speaking, he saw Qi Menghui trembling with fear and slapped his forehead and said, "Look at me, I'm just worried. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this, and I won't hold you responsible. I just want to know who did this."
Upon hearing this, Qi Menghui looked up at Master Liu, as if verifying the truthfulness of what he had just said, and whether it was a lie in order to make him tell the truth.
"I have something important to discuss with someone, so hurry up!" Master Liu urged. "Am I the kind of person who would lie?"
Qi Menghui thought about it and it made sense. The reason why Master Liu was so respected in the bamboo and wood business was not only because of his good craftsmanship, but also because of his good character.
Moreover, if Master Liu really wanted to investigate, the fact that the Qin family sent someone here today could not be concealed at all.
Thinking of this, Qi Menghui spilled the beans like a bamboo tube, telling the whole story, and finally emphasized: "Master Liu, it was really me who broke the thing. Third Brother Ye doesn't understand these things at all. He just made this part to help me, hoping to help me get away with it."
Master Liu didn't care about that at all. He just asked, "Where is he? Is he in the Qin Mansion?"
"Ah? I don't know either..." Qi Menghui was confused by the question.
"Come on, what do you know?" Master Liu said angrily, "You really don't know anything you should know."
Qi Menghui suddenly had an idea and said, "Oh, right, before we separated, he asked me about the Lin's Clinic, which specializes in small-scale acupuncture. It seems he wanted to visit a patient there!"
"Hurry, go find him!" Master Liu said immediately, "Find him and bring him back quickly. I need something from him!"
Qi Menghui didn't understand what was going on, but there was no room for bargaining at this point, so he could only get up and prepare to go out and find Ye Lao San.
But just as he turned around, he was stopped by Master Liu.
"You don't have to go yourself, just ask someone to go. Come over and tell me the details."
"Ah? Still talking? I just told you everything. I really didn't hide anything." Qi Menghui said with a sad face.
"Who asked you about those useless things?" Master Liu said, "Tell me in detail how he made this part."
When Qi Menghui heard Master Liu ask this, he actually had a lot to say.
"That Third Brother Ye is very strange.
"He seems to know nothing, he doesn't even recognize an incense burner, and his technique doesn't reveal where his master comes from.
"But his craftsmanship is really good. He cuts steadily, accurately, and meticulously..."
Master Liu listened more attentively this time. After listening to Qi Menghui's story, he asked, "How long has he been doing this?"
"It wasn't long. I started one this morning, and then during lunch, my senior brother knocked on the door to call me to eat. He was startled and his hand shook, so he pierced it.
"After his senior brother left, he started working on it again. This time he had a better grasp of the situation and was really working on it with full force!
"After I finished it, I was about to put the incense burner back, and I happened to meet you at the door of the warehouse."
The supervisor had fixed times for his three meals a day.
Even if you are too busy cooking to eat, someone will deliver a food box to your door.
So Master Liu only needed to make a quick estimate in his mind to figure out that it took Ye Lao San less than two hours to make this thing.
Not to mention that this was only the second time he did it.
"Are you sure all this happened today?" Master Liu asked in disbelief.
"Of course I'm sure. Third Brother Ye came here for the first time this morning." Qi Menghui said with certainty.
Master Liu rubbed his hands, feeling faintly excited.
He recently wanted to make an object with layers of hollowed-out parts, but he was somewhat lacking in ability and could never realize his idea perfectly.
