Chapter 1531
Xin Gaoyang's lips twitched. "The Tang family is indeed quite capable. This might have been a small skill in the past, but it's not simple now. You guys charge at least 200 yuan to glue back together a small cup. This broken plate should cost at least 500 yuan, right?"
"500?" Zhang Haidai, standing nearby, was dumbfounded. "This plate doesn't even cost much, and you want 500 just to glue it back together?"
"The main reason is that ordinary porcelain wouldn't be repaired by a porcelain mender. In this day and age, porcelain menders mainly repair antiques, or precious jade pieces, or at the very least, items that have great sentimental value to them."
Zhang Haidai scratched his head, "You can even glue jade together?"
Xin Gaoyang glanced at the ignorant Zhang Haidai, "Of course. Gold inlay on jade was very common in ancient times. Many ancient people liked to use gold to mend broken jade. Most porcelain menders knew the technique of gold inlay on jade."
Xin Gaoyang looked at Li Dashan and asked, "You've helped the Tang family restore quite a few antiques, haven't you?"
While sticking food to the plate, Li Dashan replied, "It's alright. We don't get to make the really good stuff. The young master's skills are truly flawless."
Li Dashan quickly glued a plate together.
Cai Chengyan took it and glanced at it, "I'll go."
What's the difference between this and a good one? This is practically flawless, isn't it?
Li Dashan arranged the plates on the table. "We've just finished setting this up, so we have to be careful. Let's use the large bowls for lunch today. We can use the plates tonight."
Jiang Han looked at the plate that Li Dashan had prepared. This Li Dashan was truly loyal to Tang Qin. He was even willing to work as a construction worker to carry bricks for Tang Qin.
With his skills and abilities, he'd be a talent anywhere.
Tang Qin is now his partner, which means that talented people like Li Dashan have also become his partners.
Jiang Han thought this was fine too.
Cai Chengyan was tempted to steal the person, but then she remembered that this person was related to Jiang Han, so she gave up the idea.
Seeing that there was nothing fresh left at Li Dashan's place, Xin Gaoyang went back to cook fish.
Cai Chengyan moved closer to Jiang Han and asked, "Did you fish for this kind of fish to avenge Little Tern?"
"No, I just wanted to go fishing."
He had seen this fish several times in the East China Sea but never caught it. Now, bored, he wanted to try catching the rare trevally.
He had heard Mo Junneng say that this kind of fish was very easy to catch. Once, Mo Junneng wanted to catch other fish, but all the ones that bit the hook were this kind of fish.
It seems that this fish is indeed easy to catch.
Xin Gaoyang worked quickly; before Jiang Han had even finished digesting his breakfast, Xin Gaoyang had already prepared lunch.
The main dish for lunch was the rare tuna that Jiang Han had caught.
This fish is big enough to feed everyone on the boat.
Xin Gaoyang didn't steam this fish; instead, he pan-fried it, braised it, and simmered it in soup with other ingredients.
The plates on the boat were all broken, and the ones that Li Dashan had repaired were not yet usable.
So Xin Gaoyang put the prepared food into various large bowls.
Cai Chengyan joked from the side, "Putting these pan-fried fish pieces in this bowl instantly halves their value."
Xin Gaoyang was furious. "Have you forgotten whose fault this is?"
Who are you referring to by beating around the bush?
"You're the one I'm talking about in a roundabout way!"
Zhang Haidai walked between the two people and separated them.
Li Dashan and his group of men also passed between the two men.
Suddenly, the two of them couldn't even start arguing.
Cai Chengyan sulked and started eating the fish. Fine, he'd swallow his anger for the sake of him being the cook.
Xin Gaoyang glanced at Cai Chengyan, then decided to let it go, considering he was a major financial backer.
Jiang Han ate both the pan-fried and braised fish pieces. Xin Gaoyang's cooking skills were indeed excellent, masking many of the fish's flaws.
However, the texture of the fish was a bit off.
