Chapter Seventy-Four: The Gift
Since learning that the ninth day of April is Li Dai's birthday, Zhengrong has begun to be entangled, and when people tell you about their birthday, they obviously want to receive gifts. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info still so solemnly notified, and it can't be regarded as not knowing.
In modern times, Zhengrong also gave gifts to male friends, but at that time, the streets were full of gift shops, and it was really easy to give gifts. And now, let's not talk about whether there are any good things sold in the remote town of Pingdu, let's just say that Song Zizhou grew up in the palace, what good things have not been seen? If he hadn't seen it, he wouldn't have been able to afford it. Although he has small assets now, he can barely be regarded as a small landlord, and he is still far from a real giant businessman.
It has been half a year since Song Zizhou went to southern Xinjiang, and this Great Xia Kingdom doesn't know when it will settle down. However, Song Zizhou himself also wanted to go to the frontier to avoid the limelight, and he was afraid that he would not return to Beijing for a while.
So what should I give him? It's best that he can use it in southern Xinjiang.
Zheng Rong lay on the bed, holding the pillow and racking his brains, since he didn't have so much money, then the creativity had to keep up.
Suddenly, there was a flash of inspiration! Isn't he at war, and giving him a telescope is just useful. It's just that in Great Xia, this glass is still a rarity and not easy to buy. Then you have to do it yourself!
Zheng Rong was cautious and successful, set up an iron pot in the yard, put soda and sand in and melted it together. When the pot is raised, you have to lift the lid of the pot, and Zhengrong leans up to take a look, this transparency is not good, how can you make a telescope like this?
Zheng Rong originally studied guqin, and had nothing to do with chemistry, and this formula was still something she accidentally saw on the Internet. As for the ratio, it was not mentioned on the Internet at the time, so she naturally didn't know.
"In this case, you can try again in a different proportion!" Zheng Rong motioned to put down the lid of the pot, and turned around and sat on the stone bench under the flower shelf.
Zijing heard movement outside in the room, stood by the window and looked twice, "I don't know what I'm tossing again?!" ”
Ruhui also stood aside and considered the language, there were some things that Zijing said, but she couldn't say, "Although the young master is young, he is talented and intelligent, it should be something in the book." ”
"Well, too, she's always liked to toss." Zijing nodded in agreement, sat back on the kang, and straightened the colored silk threads placed on the kang.
But how is this glass so easy to make? Zheng Rong was impatient waiting in the yard, and it happened that the soda at home was also running out, Zheng Rong waved his hand, "Come on, put the pot away first, go to the town tomorrow to buy more alkali and come back, and then try again." After speaking, he looked at the eyebrows and thought about it, this experiment is not only not afraid of trouble, but also with brains, so he rushed to take notes while doing it, and it is right to hand it over to him here, "Be careful, this matter will be handed over to you in charge." The people in our yard are at your disposal these days. ”
......
After another three or five days, Zheng Rong was holding this "Kyushu Chronicles" and was looking at it, when there was a burst of cheers outside, "It's done!" Hahahaha......"
Zheng Rong could tell that this was Dejin's voice, Dejin was in a period of voice change recently, and a male duck's voice was particularly iconic, so he had been relatively silent since he came here. Zheng Rong really hadn't seen him so excited, put the book on the table, "Let's go!" I'll go out with the young master and have a look. ”
As soon as she walked out of the door of the room, she saw that Dejin had rushed to her door, and the excitement on her face couldn't be suppressed, "Young master, it's done!" ”
"Oh? What is the condition? Zheng Rong asked curiously, walking towards the cauldron.
You have to smile and keep up with Zhengrong, "The villain can't say clearly, you better go and see for yourself." ”
When Zhengrong saw the transparent viscous substance in the pot, he was also excited, and after more than half a year, he finally saw the glass again! "Quick! Make a fire, don't let the pot get cold, spread out this sticky substance, just like rolling the skin of dumplings, and make it thick twice in the middle! ”
It took a lot of effort and strength to figure out the strength, and these two pieces of glass were placed intact in front of Zhengrong. She smiled with satisfaction and looked back at Green, "You have to work hard, go and get him a tael of silver." ”
I didn't expect such a big reward, my eyes widened, and the outlines of my ears were red, "Young Master, this is all a matter of villain, how can I ask for your reward?!" ”
As soon as he said this, Zheng Rong was even more satisfied with him, this Dejin was really an honest child, took a drawing from the table and handed it to Dejin, "You take this money first, don't bother the second master, you take this drawing, go to the town to find a blacksmith shop for me, remember that this glass is fragile, let the blacksmith be careful." ”
I had to answer honestly, and went out with the drawings, so I dared to open the drawings and take a look, only to see a long pole drawn on it, with a knot in the middle, like bamboo, that is, one end is big and one is small, and there are three words marked on it, "retractable", and the dragon pattern is painted on the pole......
Looking at this drawing, this rough painting style, I have to look at the sky speechlessly, no wonder I have to give so much reward, what kind of thing is this that the young master painted! But when I think about it, the young master is only six years old this year, and it is normal to draw like this.
Fortunately, I almost knew Zheng Rong's thoughts, and went back to the room to paint another one, and I didn't specialize in learning calligraphy and painting, but he had a good understanding, and I also learned a little from Mr. Ledger before I was sold.
......
On the sixth day of the fourth lunar month, only three days before Song Zizhou's birthday, Zheng Rong was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, "Lan Xin, have you come back to see it?" ”
Lan Xin made a blessing salute, "Young master, the slave has already been there three times in this quarter of an hour, and I know that you are in a hurry, so I will come to you as soon as I come back." ”
Zhengrong also knew that this was the case, but he was in a hurry, there were three days left, and if she couldn't do it, it would be too late for her to change to another gift.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and then the voice of Dexing came in, "Gotta come back!" Gotta come back!! ”
Zhengrong put on his shoes and ran outside the house, "Be careful, how are things going?" ”
Standing at the foot of the steps, he bent down and lifted the box above his head, "Fortunately, I didn't lose my life." ”
Zheng Rong stretched out his hand to take it, opened the box and saw that the ink-colored handle was engraved with lifelike dragon patterns, took it out and tried it, it was flexible and could be seen clearly. It's hard to be confident that she can make this appearance with the drawings she draws.
After playing with it in his hand for a while, he put the telescope back in the box, "You have done the young master a great favor this time......
