Chapter 33: So You Don't Want Anything

Yuan Fang's crooked reasoning successfully fooled Xiao Qi and the three stupid children, and then looked at Qin Cao with a smug look, Qin Cao glared at Yuan Fang angrily, the meaning is very clear, don't hit my attention, you kid, otherwise you will look good. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Qin Cao's attitude was resolute, Yuan Fang smiled helplessly, and handed the two slightly larger boxes to Qin Cao: "Brother Qin, I don't think you should refuse this thing, right?" Qin Cao opened the lid of the box suspiciously, and took a look at it, which was a top-grade bath bean, and accepted the box with a faint smile. (Bath beans, a powdered skin care agent used for washing, mainly soybean powder, preferably black bean powder, and then made with various medicinal powders, can play a role in moisturizing the skin and preventing skin diseases.) )。

After distributing the spoils, Xiaomei pointed to the remaining pile of rouge gouache and asked, "Brother Yuan, what should I do with the rest?" ”

Yuan Fang smiled evilly: "Isn't there still Ren Fei, these are kept for him, if his little white face uses these, it will be a veritable oily noodles." ”

Xiaomei nodded vigorously: "Yes, there is also Sister-in-law Yan Yue." ”

Early the next morning, everyone got up early to wash, and Da Mei made breakfast to greet everyone as usual, but today, it is destined to be unusual. When Da Mei saw Xiao Qi and the three of them, she almost didn't drop the bowl in her hand, these three guys were really scary.

Xiao Qi and the three of them discussed for a long time after they went back last night, and finally felt that Yuan Fang's words were very reasonable, so the three stupid children began to apply grease and powder early in the morning, but they had no experience, and they casually smeared a thick layer of white on their faces without knowing the severity. powder, and then, the effect came out, and his face was pale and pale, as if he had scraped a layer of white ash on his face. Three stupid children, you look at me, I look at you, I don't think it's right, the effect is not the same as Xiaomei's white and red.

The three stupid children were used to being thrifty and couldn't bear to wash off these expensive incense powders, so they briefly discussed and put some blush on their faces, pursuing a different feeling of white and red, so that the three of them were even less human, and they looked no different from the ancient zombies in the movie.

At this time, just as Da Mei shouted for everyone to eat, the three stupid children ran over.

Da Mei was made to cry and laugh by Xiao Qi and the three of them, Xiao Mei was so smiling that she could see her little tongue, and Qin Cao was no better, so she turned her head and couldn't bear to look.

Different from Xiao Qisan's white and red style, Yang Xing and Yuan Fang most sought a natural ruddyness, the two of them mainly blush, first wiped their faces like monkey buttocks, and then applied a layer of thin powder on the outside, and thought that their faces were full of red light, but in fact they were miserable.

This is not the end, at the instigation of Yuan Fang, Yang Xing also painted his lips with cinnabar, and the color was very bright, as if he had just drunk chicken blood, plus two thick eyebrows that were as thick as charcoal, how to describe it, anyway, they have been out of the aesthetic category of human beings.

Today's breakfast was very quiet, almost no one spoke, Xiaomei and Damei drank porridge with their heads bored, they really didn't dare to raise their heads to face the monsters in this room, for fear that they couldn't help but laugh and waste the food in their mouths.

While Qin Cao was drinking porridge, he turned his head to look out the window behind him from time to time, his shoulders trembled from time to time, obviously reaching the limit of his patience.

Finally finished breakfast, Qin Cao felt that he couldn't go on like this, so he took out the majesty of Big BOOS and ordered Da Mei and Xiao Mei to train these living treasures in the shortest possible time.

After a morning of careful teaching by Xiaomei and Damei, Yuan Fang and the others finally looked a little human, originally this was an excellent time to be close to Dameitao, but last night and Zhao Blacksmith had made an appointment to meet, Yuan Fang reluctantly took Xiaomei and Yang Xing out of the hospital and rushed to the blacksmith shop.

Of course, under Xiaomei's kind advice, the two of them washed their faces before going out, otherwise, Xiaomei really didn't have the courage to go on the street together.

The blacksmith shop was in full swing, Zhao blacksmith waved the small hammer in his hand and carefully knocked a piece of red-hot iron bar, seeing that Yuan Fang was coming, he called his apprentice to take over and continue to forge, and stepped forward with a smile to greet: "A few doctors are here, sit." ”

Everyone came to the stone table and sat down, and Blacksmith Zhao took a pair of scissors that had just been made and handed it to Yuan Fang: "Doctor Yuan, how about you take a look?" ”

Yuan Fang took the scissors and looked at them and frowned: "What I asked for is all polishing, and you just threw less than half of it." ”

Blacksmith Zhao explained: "Polishing is meticulous work, it takes time, this is a sample, you see if the effect is satisfactory, I have hired the best polishing master." ”

Yuan Fang gently stroked the mirror-like scissors, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, it's not bad, but I don't know what the texture is." ”

Blacksmith Zhao is quite confident in his craft, patting his chest and saying: "Don't worry, my Zhao Laoba's craftsmanship is also well-known in Huanyu County, the material is the best steel, plus repeated folding and tempering, both toughness and hardness are absolutely first-class." "To be honest, Yuan Fang is still quite satisfied with Zhao Blacksmith's craftsmanship, at least the appearance fully meets his own requirements, and the effect of application has to be actually verified.

Yuan Fang looked around and asked, "Blacksmith Zhao, do you have any thicker cowhide?" Blacksmith Zhao nodded: "Yes, I'll get it for you." ”

The cowhide is a good light dried cowhide, very thick and strong, Yuan Fang tried it with scissors, the cowhide was cut very easily, the scissors were very sharp, and the edge of the blade was not worn: "Not bad, not bad." Yuan Fang was satisfied, and Blacksmith Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief, although he was confident in his craft, Yuan Fang's requirements were a bit high, and he could even be said to be harsh.

Yuan Fang handed the scissors to Xiaomei, who was full of eagerness, and asked with a smile: "Blacksmith Zhao, have you thought about it, how much does it cost me to customize these things?" ”

In terms of price, Zhao Blacksmith has already thought about it, although there are a lot of things customized by Yuan Fang, but there are not many materials used, but these are all fine work, especially the horizontal lines on the tweezers, the card slots on the scalpel handle, which are extremely time-consuming and energy-consuming, and there is polishing, which is the most time-consuming, and the materials used are the top, so the price is naturally a little more expensive.

Blacksmith Zhao glanced at Yuan Fang: "How about you give two taels of silver for each set?" ”

Yuan was expressionless and didn't say anything, and Blacksmith Zhao hurriedly explained: "It's not that I'm a lion who opens his mouth, Doctor Yuan, you are an expert, these things are small and exquisite, labor-intensive and time-consuming, it takes at least half a month to do it, I am not very good at polishing, and I have to ask someone to help. ”

Yuan Fang waved his hand to interrupt Blacksmith Zhao's words: "Okay, that's it, five sets, a total of ten taels of silver, right?" "Ten taels of silver, that's definitely not a small amount, Blacksmith Zhao didn't expect Yuan Fang to agree so happily, he was immediately overjoyed, and nodded again and again.

Yuan Fang hesitated and said, "I'm also a wholesale group purchase, right?" Do you also indicate how much? ”

Blacksmith Zhao reacted for a long time before he roughly understood what Yuan Fang meant, and said with an embarrassed face: "Why don't I make you a few more?" ”

Yuan Fang was waiting for this: "Okay, you can make me a few more curved needles, and then make five cowhide bags for these things, don't you think?" ”

Blacksmith Zhao nodded without hesitation and agreed, originally he thought that Yuan Fang would bargain, and he was ready to make concessions, the bottom line he had considered before was eight taels and five cents of silver, but now Yuan Fang did not lower the price, just asked for a few more cowhides and a few curved needles that did not cost any raw materials at all, how could Zhao Blacksmith not agree.

The raw materials need to be bought, the polishing needs to be hired, the deposit of four taels of silver was paid, and the delivery time was agreed, and Yuan Fang took Yang Xing and Xiaomei to leave the blacksmith shop.

On the way, Yang Xing was speechless: "Just a few scissors, a few tweezers or something will cost two taels of silver, boss, don't you think it's too expensive?" Xiaomei also looked incredulous, this price has far exceeded her expectations.

Yuan Fang disagreed: "The price is okay, it's about the same as I thought before, Zhao Blacksmith's craftsmanship is worth the money." "On the way to escape before, Yuan asked some blacksmiths about this matter, at that time, it was expected that a set would cost two taels to three taels of silver, and Zhao blacksmiths offered two taels, and the craftsmanship and materials were first-class, so it was calculated that it saved a lot more than expected before, and it also cost a few taels of silver to buy other things.

Next, Xiaomei took Yuan Fang all over the street, went to many silk shops, visited several glassmakers, etc., but things did not go well, for example, the merchants of the silk shop only sold silk cloth, and had no interest in the sewing silk thread required by Yuan Fang, because Yuan Fang's needs were far from the cost of starting a new project.

Glasssmiths are actually similar to blacksmiths, and guests will naturally receive them sincerely, but the craftsmanship level of these glassmakers cannot meet Yuan Fang's requirements, and the glass has too many impurities to use.

During this period, Yuan Fang also visited several shops selling sea salt, all of which were controlled by the government and belonged to the state monopoly industry, and the quality of their salt varied.

In addition, Yuan Fang also visited several cotton stores, because the new cotton was about to be mined, Yuan Fang only bought a little old cotton back to trial production, and also bought some cotton gauze, which he brought back for later use.

Then, Yuan Fang and the three of them searched the winery, looking for high-grade liquor, although the wine-making process here has reached the preliminary distillation stage, the alcohol content is not very high, and it cannot meet the standard of disinfected alcohol.

At this time, it was almost dinner time, and the three of them had been shopping for most of the day, their stomachs were already growling, and under the guidance of Yuan Fang, Yang Xing was the east, and they found a restaurant and rubbed it hard, and when they came out, they happened to meet Zhou Lei and a few fox friends.

Far away, Yuan Fang compared a middle finger to Zhou Lei, Zhou Lei didn't know what it meant, I don't know if it was out of politeness or didn't want to suffer, and also gave Yuan Fang a middle finger, the two sides turned a blind eye and passed by, like a passerby, but they frowned coldly.

Walking out of the distance, Yang Xing was still indignant: "Boss, how do you look at that guy and hate it, by the way, what did you do with your middle finger just now?" ”

Yuan Fang smiled proudly: "That's what it means to you." ”

Yang Xing was stunned: "Boss, I didn't offend you, did I?" ”

Yuan Fang's head was full of black lines: "It's not that you, are you in a hurry?" ”

Yang Xing reacted, and smiled evilly and gestured with his middle finger: "Hehe, boss, you are too bad, but I like it." ”
