Chapter 136: The strongman locks the man

Confucius Temple, the entrance of the shop.

Zhao Hao asked back and forth, almost looked at the glasses in the store, but never said which pair he wanted to buy.

This caused the store to gradually run out of patience. It's just that it hasn't opened today, so he has to endure his anxiety and deal with it with a smiling face.

"Childe, which one do you like?"

"Hmm." Zhao Hao put down his glasses and asked him, "What level is the master in your shop, what level is in Jinling?" ”

"There is only one in Jinling City, and there is no other semicolon." The shopkeeper replied proudly.

"And what about in the whole country?" Zhao Hao asked again.

"Ouchi's royal office doesn't dare to say, in addition, the craftsmanship of the small shop doesn't dare to say that it is better than anyone, but it also doesn't recognize that it is worse than anyone." The shopkeeper replied stiffly, and then finally couldn't help but ask again: "Guest officer, have you picked one?" ”

Zhao Hao smiled, snapped his fingers twice, and Gao Wu slapped two ingots of fifty taels of official silver on the counter.

"Childe, what do you mean?" The shopkeeper looked puzzled, but his expression was much more relaxed.

"You don't have anything here that I'm happy with, I want to customize a pair myself." I only listened to Zhao Hao say slowly.

"Does Childe want to be customized?" The store is doing business for rich people, and it is obviously commonplace for a long time: "Gold frames, jade frames can be done in this store." ”

"I want a pair of ink-colored flat mirrors, the lenses can be smaller, the frame, the lighter the better."

"Inky flat mirror?" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively: "It's the kind that is not convex or concave, and it makes no difference whether you wear it or not?" ”

"Not bad." Zhao Hao smiled and nodded.

"That's simple, just use ink crystal to grind a pair for Childe." The shopkeeper replied with a smile: "This kind of is a lot cheaper, even if you match a pair of gold wire frames to your son, it won't cost so much money." ”

"Just keep it." Zhao Hao waved his hand generously, and said, "You take me to meet Master Mirror Grinding, and I will personally tell him about the requirements." ”

"That's fine." The shopkeeper happily put away a hundred taels of silver, and his family's business has always been not open for three days, and he will eat for half a month when it is open.

Then he lifted the curtain and invited Zhao Hao into the backyard.

In the backyard, two masters and two apprentices are polishing lenses.

I saw the apprentice stepping on a pair of wooden stirrups like bicycle pedals, and there was a transmission belt in the middle of the stirrups, which drove the small mill on the platform to rotate at a uniform speed.

The mirror grinding master was engrossed in holding pieces of crystals, carefully polishing them with white clay-like polishing materials.

Obviously, the trick is all in the master's hands, and he is not afraid of outsiders at all.

However, in order to avoid suspicion, Zhao Hao still turned his head after just a glance, pretending not to be interested.

The shopkeeper called a gray-haired mirror grinder. "Old Lu, this son has some requests, you have to listen carefully."

The old Lu Tou nodded, stood beside Zhao Hao with a hunched waist, and listened to his explanation while watching Zhao Hao draw on paper with a pen.

After listening, Lao Lu Tou smiled confidently: "I understand, the temples will be beaten according to what the son said." ”

"Okay, play beautifully, do a good job, and my son will be rewarded." Zhao Hao dropped his pen and agreed with the store to take the mirror ten days later, and left with Gao Wu.

After walking a distance, Zhao Hao suddenly asked Gao Wudao: "Do you remember the appearance of those two mirror grinding masters?" ”

After a while, I heard Gao Wu's answer: "Hmm." ”

"Go back and try to invite a guest to your home so that the store doesn't find out." Zhao Hao ordered in a deep voice.

Gao Wu nodded silently, and Zhao Hao didn't have to worry about the rest of the matter.

~~

Gao Wu did things like Mali, and in the middle of the night, he brought people back.

When Zhao Hao was woken up from his sleep and came to a secluded courtyard with no one in his clothes, he saw a squirming sack.

Zhao Hao was stunned, and it took a long time before he covered his face and said, "Quickly release the people." ”

"Oh." A man from Caijia Lane opened the mouth of the sack and released a white-haired old man with five flowers tied up and a rag in his mouth. Isn't it the mirror grinding master surnamed Lu?

Gao Wu hurriedly untied Lao Lu Tou, and ripped off the rags of the gag.

As soon as Lao Lu loosened his ties, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao Hao, and even shouted at the hero to spare his life.

Zhao Hao glared at Gao Wu fiercely, then picked up Lao Lu's head with his own hands, and said softly: "They misunderstood what I meant. My son is asking them to invite you with kind words, not letting them use this way, which really frightened my father-in-law. ”

"Ah......" Old Lu was stunned for a while, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

I heard a fierce man explain: "Hui Gongzi, we have been following this old man out of the store, and when there is no one, I went over and told him, my son-in-law is invited, who knew that he screamed, and had no choice but to cover his mouth......"

"He struggled so hard that we had no choice but to tie him up...... "Another man explained.

"I saw that you were all fierce and vicious, and I thought you had encountered robbers in the middle of the night." Old Lu Tou smiled bitterly, only then did he believe that it was a misunderstanding.

Zhao Hao immediately asked Gao Wu to go to Zhang Luo for a table of wine and food, and personally gave the lamp to the old Lu Tou to suppress the shock, and only after the old man was frightened did he explain his intentions.

"I want to ask my husband to take ten days and a half to help me build a few things."

"I'm afraid that the owner won't give me a fake." Old Lu Tou subconsciously shirked.

Before he could finish speaking, Gao Wu slapped two silver ingots in front of him.

Seeing the two pieces of big official silver of fifty taels each, Lao Lu Tou swallowed his saliva.

Master Mirror Grinding is considered a high-paid class in Jinling City, but he earns ten taels of silver a month. If it is ten days and half a month, you can earn nearly a year's money, and anyone will be tempted if you change it.

"Well, I'd like to figure it out." After hesitating for a moment, Lao Lu Tou finally relented.

"After the deed is completed, I will reward you with another hundred taels." I only heard Zhao Hao say lightly, now for him, this money is really nothing.

"Okay, tomorrow I will take leave from the owner, saying that my father-in-law has passed away and I want to go back to help with the cooking." Old Lu Tou took out the spirit of overcoming all difficulties, patted his chest and said: "Within half a month, I will wait for the son's dispatch!" ”

"What about the tools for sharpening the mirror?" Zhao Hao asked, "And the East China Sea crystal ......?"

"Don't worry, the old man has a full set at home." Lao Lu Tou sneered and said: "The owner's asking price is too dark, so people often ask the old man if he accepts private work......

"That's good." Zhao Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked Gao Wu to take people and go with the old man's house overnight to retrieve the tool for grinding the mirror.

He went back to his study, recalled, and then drew a picture on the paper.

The next day, Gao Wu came to report that everything was ready.

Zhao Hao picked up the drawings he had drawn, came to the small courtyard, and explained his real requirements to the old Lu Tou.

"Grind me two triangular prisms, one with an acute isosceles triangle and one with an equilateral triangle...... What the? Confused? Okay, I'll pinch it with mud and give it to you, and I'll always draw a scoop according to the gourd, right? ”

"It's a convex lens, your reading glasses, but the diopter is ...... Well, I want a very flat mirror, not very convex. ”

"This is a concave lens, it's the less glasses, the size is one-third of the reading glasses, you can give me a few more."
