One hundred and thirty-two chapters live up to its name

It turns out that the first craftsman fifteen years ago is not a good skill, (Zhong Yu is the first to win by intrigue and intrigue, but he is just a rubbish.) Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info People with poor character, how can the jewelry they make be perfect?) Seven days later, Zi Mo received a message from Meng Xinxi, asking her to go and see if there was anything that needed to be improved.

Baili Zimo hurriedly put down the work in his hand, and came to Zhao Xinxin's humble home in XX Lane, the one who opened the door was still the eight or nine-year-old boy, he saw Zi Mo, and did not hesitate to smile brightly, last time Zi Mo not only made delicious sweet potato cakes and leaf cakes for their family, but also fried sweet and crispy fries for the children with sweet potatoes, which won the favor of the children.

The boy introduced Zi Mo into the yard, Zi Mo gave him a pack of animal biscuits made by himself, patted his little head, and asked, "Your mother is going to work again?"

The little boy looked at all kinds of small animals in his hand, exuding an attractive fragrance, only to know that these were for eating, although he wanted to taste it, but he endured it, wrapped the biscuits again, and answered Zi Mo's question very decently: "Mother went to Zhang xxtun to dig a lotus pond for the landlord Wang's house, and the landlord also heard that the lotus pond of the 'Yaolian Farm' produced lotus roots, water chestnuts, and fish, so the idea of digging the lotus pond arose." ”

"Won't you taste a piece?" Zi Mo asked in surprise when he saw him swallowing his saliva, but wrapped the biscuit.

"When I smell it, I know it's very fragrant, and I will give a few pieces to each of my brothers in a while, and wait for my mother to come back and let her taste it. My mother must be very happy to know that the little boss sent snacks, she loves food the most, but unfortunately our family is poor...... When my sister receives her salary, she will be able to let her mother eat Shao Ji fast food once a month. "The children of the poor are in charge of the family early, and they know that they feel sorry for their mothers at such a young age.

"Good boy," Zi Mo stroked the back of the little boy's head, "How much can your mother earn in a day of hard work?"

"Generally, the manual work of moving goods at the dock can earn 150 copper plates a day, and most of the time dozens of copper plates are good, and sometimes you can't wait for work for several days. "The little guy has revealed all his family background to Zi Mo, and obviously no longer treats Zi Mo as an outsider.

It seems that the life of the poor people is really difficult, no wonder the employees in the bun shop in the past, when they heard that they had a salary of two taels of silver, all squeezed their heads to apply, and the income of the poor people in two months may not be able to have this amount.

Just thinking about it, he unconsciously came to Meng Xinxi's room, and the little boy raised his voice and reported: "Master husband and father, the little boss has come to see the ring." I also brought some snacks for my sons. ”

Meng Xinxi came out of the house when he heard the sound, and just glanced at the biscuits in the boy's hand, the little boy looked nervous, for fear that the master's father would accuse him of accepting other people's gifts indiscriminately, and even more afraid that he would let him return the biscuits.

Fortunately, Meng Xinxi just politely thanked Zi Mo: "The little boss broke the bill, he came here, and what gifts did he bring." ”

"Home-made, for the children to satisfy their hunger, and it is not a valuable object. Zi Mo smiled, gave the little boy a look, and asked him to quickly put away the biscuits.

Although Meng doesn't go out, he has also heard that Yipinzhai's dim sum is difficult to buy. Zhao Xinxin said to him more than once how Shao Ji is, how Yipinzhai is, it's hard to think about it.

"It's just a little snack that can't be put on the table. The ingredients are also very simple, just some flour, baked with some sugar, not worth a few dollars, if Uncle Meng refuses again, but he looks down on me Xiaoxue and disdains what I want to send?" Zi Mo knows that Meng Xinxi is arrogant, and he is very sensitive to other people's funding and help, for fear of being looked down upon by others. Alas, I was infected by the world.

"Since the little boss said so, if we don't accept it, it will be too faceless. Takeko, take it and divide it with your younger brothers. Xiao Wuzi agreed and ran away quickly, for fear that the master's husband and father would change his mind and the fat in his mouth would fly away.

Meng Xinxi let Zi Mo into the house, carefully took out a flannel bag from his sleeve, and handed it to Zi Mo: "Look, is there anything that needs to be changed?"

Zi Mo gently opened the flannel bag, three rings with silver light lay on the dark red flannel, the polishing of the ring body is in place, and it is also extremely uniform, the "LOVE" on the ring is dignified, and the ruby in the "O" word in the middle is cut exquisitely. The craftsmanship of the whole ring is a must, and Zi Mo, a modern person who has seen countless rings, can't help but admire it, which is really good: "Uncle Meng, this is exactly what I want, you have made a treasure in my heart! I really don't know how to thank you." ”

Meng Xinxi's fingers, which were originally clenched a little tightly, finally let go, and a rare smile appeared on his face: "It's good that the little boss is satisfied, these three rings really hurt my brain." I tried the polishing of this ring body dozens of times before I approached the kind of luster that the little boss said. The carving of these four figures also took a lot of work. To be honest, these three rings should be the most satisfying masterpieces since I left school. ”

"It's great, the decision to ask Uncle Meng to make the ring is really right. Thank you so much, if it weren't for you, I would probably only have a share of this ring. Uncle Meng, how many men and women who love beauty will be benefited by your decision to go out of the mountain again! I have to give you the credit for this, I persuaded you to go out of the mountain!" Zi Mo suddenly got a little carried away.

Meng Xinxi smiled softly and didn't say anything. Zi Mo put the one that belonged to him on his ring finger, which was just right. The slender jade fingers, which are as white as jade, are like exquisite works of art against the backdrop of the ring. Zi Mo turned over and admired it, and his mouth was not idle: "What are Uncle Meng's plans for the future?"

Meng Xinxi shook his head lightly and said, "Taking care of the little boss, Ah Xiu has a good job, and the situation at home will gradually improve in the future, and I won't show my head anymore, and the child's mother will not agree to me going out to work." ”

Zi Mo showed a regretful expression on his face: "Uncle Meng's such a good craftsmanship is too wasteful." Although Zhao Tingxiu's salary in the future is also a lot, but think about it, Ah Xiu is already an adult, and if she wants to marry a husband and have children in the past two years, she needs money. Ah Xiu also has three younger brothers, and I don't look too young as the second child, and the dowry should be prepared slowly, so that I can find a good family in the future. "In this world, a man's dowry is a criterion for judging his status in the in-laws family. If a man's dowry is shabby, it is difficult for him to hold his head up in his in-laws' house, even if he is the master husband, the side husband and the waiters, they will not be respectful to him, and they may even spoil the husband. There are also men from poor families who can't get a dowry, so they can only be sent to do a house, and their status is not as good as a small house.

Meng Xinxi groaned, but still said resolutely: "If I would rather not do new ideas and designs, those worldly accessories will only regress the craftsmanship." Ashin was hired early for the 'celebrity', so he couldn't reach the level of a first-class craftsman. "Ashin is the junior sister of Meng Xinxi who showed Zimo the way.

"Uncle Meng, do you know what is the most difficult part of cooking?" Zi Mo knew that forcible persuasion would only provoke the opposite effect for the stubborn and eccentric Meng Xinxi, so he adopted the strategy of saving the country with a curve.

"The hardest thing to do? Meng Xinxi replied a little absent-mindedly.

"No! The hardest dishes to make are often those seemingly simple ordinary dishes. Do you know that cooking students generally start with egg fried rice, if you can fry egg fried rice to a certain level, it is estimated that no matter how complex the dishes are, it will not be difficult for you. What I mean by this is that a simple piece of jewelry can be carved with a non-simple technique, and then in the end this simple piece of jewelry will pass through your hands and become not simple. Do you know Uncle Meng, what is the work I want to be a teacher when I learn to cook? It is egg fried rice, from morning to dark until the guests say it is delicious, it can't be counted as a teacher, it must be fried until a bite is eaten to make people feel happy" Zi Mo said while looking at Meng Xinxi's face, only to see that his eyes were full of deepness, and the whole person also fell into contemplation.

Baili Zimo knew his words, Meng Xinxi had already listened to them, with his intelligence and wisdom, he should be able to comprehend the truth soon, so he got up and said: "This is the manual fee that was negotiated at the beginning, ninety-five taels of silver, plus the deposit last time is exactly one hundred taels." Zi Mo knew that Meng Xinxi didn't like to take advantage of others, so he didn't pay more.

She put the silver on the table, and seeing that he was still distracted, she didn't want to disturb him anymore, so she said goodbye: "Thank you, Uncle Meng, Zimo still has some things, so I will leave first." ”

Meng Xinxi nodded absentmindedly and called Xiao Wuzi to see off the guests. Zi Mo walked a few steps, stood still, turned around and said: "If Uncle Meng pursues complexity and novelty, Zi Mo can provide several patterns, but I don't know much about jewelry, just for reference." ”

Meng Xinxi's eyes lit up, he opened his mouth, and stopped talking. Seeing this, Zi Mo said: "In a few days, I will bring the patterns and raw materials, and I will treat them as if they were customized." Farewell!"

Zi Mo held the ring, hummed a song and rode on the way home, his hand unconsciously wanted to reach into his arms, touched the flannel bag wrapped in the ring, and grinned silly.

Just when she was less than five hundred meters away from the house, suddenly a violent sound of horses' hooves came from behind, and soon overtook Zi Mo, leaving a puff of smoke and dust, choking her and coughing. The rider on the black horse who took the lead, after recognizing Zi Mo, pulled the reins and stopped not far in front.

Zi Mo, who was dusted by the dust, was about to lose her temper and swear, but when she saw the rider who stopped in front of her, she immediately changed to a flattering smile: "His Royal Highness King Su, are you old man going home?"

Su Wangpi said with a smile: "Little boss, I have time to walk the horse, I'm really interested!"

Zi Mo nodded hurriedly and replied, "Don't dare, don't dare ......"

"I heard that a few days ago, in the hands of the prefect, you bought a superb twin fruit close to the golden fruit and gave it to your beloved fiancΓ©. The little boss is really a master who knows how to hurt people!" King Su's words were tingling, and Zi Mo's hairs stood on end when he heard it, and he was offended.

"Uh...... My brother has been lonely since he was a child, and he is Zi Mo's life-saving benefactor, Zi Mo helped him buy a dowry, it is reasonable, it is reasonable, hey......"

"What a reasonable! Hmph! go-" King Su grabbed the horse's belly and galloped away, and a few guards around him followed. All that was left for Zi Mo was a cold snort and a burst of dust......

Zi Mo smiled bitterly, this King Su was completely offended, and after three days, he would have to spend a lot of hard work. Zi Mo touched the ring in his arms, and immediately raised his morale again: Xiao Yu'er, wait for me, I will definitely not let you down again!
