Chapter 61: Fried
A man wearing a smock to cover his appearance walked in, dressed exactly the same as when Da Liang came yesterday, and it is estimated that the prestige of Flea Street makes every outsider choose to keep a low profile when they come in.
The man just glanced at Da Liang when he came in, then lifted his hood and slowly looked at each model in the store, without making any sound.
A guy with the air of aristocratic arrogance.
Unpaid work, Da Liang lazily stepped forward to greet customers who came in. Since the person who came was just looking at the model, the big bright butt did not move, and continued to sit and read his book.
For a moment, a shadow obscured the page.
"Fundamentals of Dhow Design? Guise's Commentary. Unexpectedly, Guise did not accept apprentices in his heyday, but instead taught apprentices after having problems with his head? Guise is not here, I am a disciple of his old friend, and I have come to see him for some things. β
At some point, the noble-looking customer with chestnut hair walked up to the counter and could see what kind of book Da Liang was reading with just one glance.
He spoke in an arrogant tone, saying that he was a disciple of Guise's friend, but there was no respect in his words that his juniors should have.
Da Liang replied nonchalantly: "He is not here, it is estimated that he will come back after noon." Who are you? If there's anything you need, I can tell him about it. β
"Give him this invitation, and he'll know who sent me." The other party put an invitation card in front of Da Liang and said, "This is a very professional academic seminar, and only master ship designers are qualified to participate." Guise couldn't design a battleship now, but with his achievements from a long time ago, he was still qualified to go over and listen to it. β
The words are full of ridicule and thorns.
It is definitely the jealousy of peers, and the other party should be a disciple of a master ship designer.
The master ship designer is not a cabbage rotten street, if the entire Shangjiang City is not a master of Guise, there is only one master ship designer, which is the chief designer of the Pudong Fleet Shipyard - Count Strong.
According to what I heard from Joyce yesterday, Earl Strong is supposed to be from the same school as Master Guise, and both are disciples of Master Harold.
At the beginning, Master Harold retired, Guise was in the limelight, and Earl Strong, who was in the same division, was pressed and disappeared.
Later, Guise had problems with his head, and Count Strong was appointed chief designer of the Pudong Fleet Shipyard.
Now that Joyce was building battleships for the rebuilt Pudong fleet, Earl Strong's position became more and more prominent, and Joyce had to politely call him a master when he saw him.
After guessing the identity of the person in front of him, Da Liang put away the invitation and said, "I will transfer it to Master Guise, do you have any other needs?" The ship model made by Master Guise is really good. Yesterday, there was a very generous aristocratic lord who bought a two-meter-high model of the Conqueror, and 5,000 gold still felt cheap. β
The name of the Conqueror clearly stimulated the disciple of Count Strong, a battleship that was also among the top battleships of the third class, and is still an insurmountable peak for Count Strong.
Now Count Strong has taken on the task of designing battleships for the Pudong fleet, and if he can't design a stronger battleship than the Conqueror, then all the battleships he designs will be in the shadow of the Conqueror as a foil.
Just like Count Strong was in the shadow of Guise.
As a disciple of Count Strong, of course, he was very disgusted with the Conqueror.
"In my eyes, everything here is garbage. Only the nobles in the countryside who have not seen the world will buy a model and go back to show the faΓ§ade. Boy, you're as dull as Guise, and even the scoundrels on the street can see that I'm a nobleman of status, and you'...... After I came in, you only had that book in your eyes, and you couldn't see the disparity between me and you, so I advise you to get out of here and follow Guise, you will only learn more and more stupidly, and you will have no future. β
Is this the legendary lying down and getting shot? What does the conflict between you and Guise have to do with my brother, my brother is just dutifully selling the battleship model, what kind of aristocratic status do you have to do with your brother.
"Aristocrats? Which family are you from? β
"Snap" The other party slapped a noble badge on the counter in front of Da Liang.
Da Liang glanced at it, it turned out to be a baron, and then ......
With a "snap", Da Liang slapped his viscount badge on the counter.
"You're right, there is a huge disparity between us."
Da Liang glanced at the other party provocatively, and his heart was as cool as when he was playing cards, and the other party made a bomb, and his own bomb was just one level bigger than him.
Looking at the two badges on the table, the other party's face immediately turned ugly.
Take a closer look, it's the viscount coat of arms, not a fake.
The baron never expected that there would be a viscount here in Guise who would be a clerk for him, and looking at the style of the badge, he would still be a nobleman directly under the King of the East Sea.
This meeting was a little awkward.
"Honorable ...... Hello, Dear Viscount. If nothing happens, I'll leave first. β
"Remember to close the door and don't make a noise that interferes with my reading."
"Yes, Lord Viscount."
The baron slowly withdrew, opened the door softly, and walked out, closing it softly......
After seeing the people walking away, Da Liang took out the invitation card to see what was inside, but there was a seal and a seal on it, and if he opened it, he would definitely be noticed by Guise.
However, the baron said that this was an invitation that only a master ship designer could receive, and that he was an apprentice and could not even know how to design a junior ship, so this meeting had nothing to do with him.
And Guise may not go, after all, he has the name of a master ship designer, but he does not have the corresponding strength.
With Count Strong and his disciples by his side, even if they went, they would be ridiculed.
After a customer who was not a customer, Keith's boat model shop continued to be deserted until noon Keith walked in from outside.
"Has anyone been here?" The undead are very sensitive to the breath of living creatures.
"Yes, Mentor." Da Liang took out the invitation, "A disciple who claims to be your friend has sent this thing, saying that there is a ship design exchange meeting to invite you to participate. β
"My friend, the ship designer, is Earl Strong." Keith thought of who it was, he took the invitation, opened it, read it, and put it away. Then he said to Da Liang: "Let your archangel come in and take care of the shop, you come with me, and I will teach you how to draw a sloop merchant ship." β
Mentor, you are really too invisible, Archangel buys a model ship, what do you think.
However, Da Liang obediently let Julian come in and stand behind the counter, and followed Keith into the backyard.
In the backyard of the Guise Boat Model Cottage is a large ship model carving workshop, the floor is covered with wood chips and sawdust, and some semi-finished ship models are scattered around.
