Chapter 7: The Mirror of the Fetish
It is unimaginable that such a small cross and crossbow have such great power.
"Okay, just make it according to my model, remember, you must not pass it on. Qiaoyin, give Wu Gang two hundred taels of silver. "Yang Chendong knows that knowledge is power, and if the production method of this thing is spread out, I am afraid that I don't know what kind of bloody rain it will cause.
With a "plop", Wu Gang knelt on the ground, "The little one asked the young master to find me a remote place in the backyard, I am willing to take two apprentices to make it together, and I will never go out of the backyard without an order." ”
Obviously, Wu Gang is a smart man, he knows the truth of his guilt, he is just a blacksmith, and he doesn't want to die.
"That's right. Qiaoyin, you go and arrange it, and you and Yi Qiu'er are in charge of eating and drinking for the time being. Yang Chendong patted his forehead with a headache. He suddenly felt that there were too few people available, and even the girl ring around him could only be responsible for keeping the secret. This also made him feel the importance of talents.
Qiaoyin took Wu Gang to find a suitable room, and Yang Chendong called Hu Mang over, "The young master has arranged a task for you, go outside to find someone, find the right person." Remember, there are three requirements, one is that there can be no worries; Second, you must have the ability, you have practiced martial arts, and the last one is not to be a wicked person, and your character is very important. ”
After speaking, he gave the remaining three hundred taels to Hu Mang, if he wanted to win talents, he was afraid of spending money.
Hu Mang felt the trust of the young master, and immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "Please rest assured, the young master will definitely bring people back here, and he will go back quickly." It's just that the little one is not in this time, and the young master has to take care of his body. ”
"Hehe, you know the young master's ability, you can't say that you can win it all, let alone others? Go ahead. Yang Chendong smiled. He is still growing his body, and his strength has not fully recovered, so it is too stretchable for Hu Mang to deal with, once his strength recovers, it will be even more difficult for anyone to get close to him.
Hu Mang left, and the one thousand taels of silver in Yang Chendong's hand were also spent. Knowing that a penny is difficult to defeat a hero, he turned around and disappeared in place, and when he appeared, he had an extra cardboard shell in his hand, on which military supplies (mirrors) were written.
Yes, this is exactly the plastic surgery mirror used by the army, which is used to organize the military and is a must-have for the above units. These mirrors have just been sent by local manufacturers, and they haven't even had time to spray the three words cosmetic mirror.
Reaching out and tearing off all the packaging, he threw it back into the warehouse, where the bright mirror was placed in the side hall. At this time, Qiao Yin, who had just arranged Wu Gang, happened to walk in, and when he saw the mirror that was as smooth as new, he could even react the pores on his body so clearly, and an exclamation sounded.
Qiaoyin was heard by the reflection under this clear mirror, she had never seen such a clear mirror in her sixteen years since she was a child.
It is said that most of the copper mirrors used by people at that time not only had to be wiped clean from time to time, but also had to be polished often to keep the light as new and reflect the image.
Qiaoyin's shout attracted the old housekeeper Yang Hai, and when he saw the incomparably clear mirror in the first year, his legs trembled, and if it wasn't for his concentration enough, he was afraid that he would fall directly to the ground.
"Uncle Hai, please send someone to invite Cousin Fu over." Yang Chendong hit Yang Fu with the idea of money again.
This time, Yang Fulai's speed was obviously a lot over, and there was still a sense of reezing on the chubby body. Originally, he wanted to ask what was the matter, but as soon as he saw the mirror standing in the side hall, he immediately stopped talking, and the whole person froze in place, as if he was scared stupid.
Yang Chendong didn't look at the other party much, but continued to rain ink, and the eagle shooting made a start, and there was still a lot to write. Fortunately, he watched it for a long time when he went to bed last night, and he can copy it with a super memory.
I don't know how long it was, maybe a quarter of an hour, maybe half an hour, until I sat down on the ground with a thud when my legs couldn't support my body. At this moment, Yang Fu finally came back to his senses, and when he looked at Yang Chendong's gaze that happened to be inquiring, he couldn't help but be excited, "Sixth cousin, where did you get this baby from?" ”
"A missionary named John, which he gave to his cousin. Hehe, he also likes the book Condor Shooting, and I tell him the story, which is my payment. "I have already thought about the origin of the mirror, and Yang Chendong didn't blush when he talked about this.
"I see." Yang Fu chose to believe it, because he had also seen the beginning of the Condor Shooting, and he was indeed attracted. It's like this for me, and it's no better for others to come.
Without dwelling on this issue, Yang Chendong asked directly: "Cousin Fu, do you think this mirror is worth it?" ”
"Worth the money, worth the money. Yes! The sixth cousin won't be sold. Yang Fu reacted very quickly, and immediately changed to an excited tone.
"Yes, let's make an offer." Yang Chendong nodded in certainty. He didn't know that when he did this action, Qiaoyin's hands beside him had already been clenched.
Such a good thing, of course she wants to leave it to the young master. But she also knew that the young master was very short of money, and as a personal maid, she felt sad that she was useless.
"But it's a good thing, enough to be a family heirloom." When Yang Fu heard that he was really going to sell, of course he felt incredible, but when he saw Yang Chendong's face, he knew that the other party had made a decision, so he also gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, if the sixth cousin really wants to sell, then I will pay a thousand taels of silver." Of course, I know it's not much, but my cousin didn't buy it, he collected it for you first, and waited for you to get it back when you had the money. ”
Yang Fu is naturally a piece of kindness. Perhaps in his eyes, such good treasures are very rare, and should be kept for family heirlooms, so he said in the form of pawns.
"No need. I advised my rich cousin not to collect this thing, that John said, and he would bring some when he came to Daming when he went to sea in the future. So there may be a lot of such stuff in the future. Yang Chendong didn't expect that a mirror could be sold for 1,000 taels. Of course, this is also a rare thing, once such things are all over the street, I am afraid that it will not be worth much. But who made it not originally a thing of this era?
Hearing that there would be again, Yang Fu's expression changed one after another. "Okay, if that's the case, the price of this thing will be higher, I'll pay a thousand taels here first, and I'll count it together when I get out."
The previous 1,000 taels was just the price of a pawn, and if it was sold, it would naturally be more valuable. To say that Yang Fu is still a bit of a businessman.
"Yes." Yang Chendong nodded. He didn't really care about how much he could sell, he just didn't have enough money. Waiting for the toilet to be ready, waiting for the share of the Four Seas Restaurant to come, naturally there should be no shortage of silver.
Yang Fu left a thousand taels of silver, and then led someone to carefully carry the mirror away. It is worth mentioning that as soon as this thing came out of the street, it caused an uproar, but no one who saw this thing was shocked, and even some fell to the ground directly, shouting that it was a fairy appearing.
The news soon spread everywhere, and without advertising, the benefits of the mirror were dizzed to the extreme. In the end, it was the prefect of Jianning who took the lead, bought this thing for three thousand taels of silver, and presented it to Jingshi Ming Yingzong with this auspicious object.
Not to mention how much vibration a mirror causes. It is said that the Sihai Restaurant in Jianning Mansion suddenly became popular.
The delicious and indescribable dishes, and the commentary of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that makes people move and can't extricate themselves. Under the double attack of this spirit and appetite, it soon became famous throughout Jianning Mansion. Every day, when the meal is approaching, all the seats are full of people, some of them come for the food, and some come for the eagle shooting.
The original dismal business suddenly became lively, Yang Fu was happy and repeatedly raised prices, but this still could not stop the arrival of customers, and he really counted the money and counted his hands cramped.
Sihai Restaurant is famous and makes money, followed by Yang Chendong's name is also known.
Especially every time the storyteller talks about the condor, he will introduce it as usual, this book is written by Yang Guitong (the word Chendong), the sixth son of Yang Rongyang's cabinet, which makes his name resounding throughout the entire Jianning Mansion.
That's part of Yang's plan. In ancient times, it was very important to do things with a reputation.
With fame, it will be much easier to do something. Just like many students who are famous all over the world for their filial piety, they can even become officials without going through scientific examinations. In this society, with an official body, it will be much more convenient to do a lot of things.
The good news is repeated, Li Shunfu lived up to expectations, and the first toilet was successfully built. When it was installed in Yang Chendong's backyard, when the sixth young master nodded to show that he was satisfied, he began to vigorously promote it, and for a while, the official eunuchs and wealthy families in Jianning Mansion began to install it one after another. The cost of each is one hundred taels of silver, and the cost is only ten taels, and this alone brings a lot of profits.
The toilet has made money, and the Four Seas Restaurant can be described as making money every day. Yang Chendong is naturally famous, but then trouble also comes.
On this day, the old housekeeper Yang Hai came to the backyard and told the sixth young master that there were always strangers wandering around the house in the past two days. Yang Chendong didn't see the slightest abnormality after hearing this, he still looked up with a smile on his face and said, "Uncle Hai, it's September, you take the people in the house to Yangjiazhuang to see if there is anything you can help." ”
"Ahh It's still early to harvest, and it's still more than a month. Yang Hai was a little confused, so he said, but then he thought of something, and his face changed: "Sixth Young Master, you don't want to stay, right?" ”
"Yes, I'm here to stay. Even if someone is watching here, you can't always guard against it day and night, you have to give them a chance to behave well. Yang Chendong was still smiling, but no matter how he looked at it, there seemed to be a hint of murder in his smile.
