Xia Zhen'er couldn't help laughing, the next person who dared to make a bid with a princess, this was the first one! And this price can be called blackmail! No matter how delicious it is, how can you get four taels of gold? Although I don't know how Zhu Xiaobao got it, according to the report of Chief Wu, this thing is definitely low-cost!

Xia Zhen'er remembered, isn't this 'four taels of gold, four taels of silver, and four taels of bronze' exactly the one that Zhu Xiaobao should deal with himself! Now that I'm bringing it up again, is it showing my talent or is it hinting? I can't help but feel moved! This Zhu Xiaobao is very similar to Ji Zhihui, that is, he doesn't care much about the etiquette up and down. That Ji Zhihui is also very casual, that is, he has a good temper and doesn't care about these. If it were another princess or prince, Ji Zhichen's behavior would have suffered a long time ago, the light was beaten violently, and the heavy one was probably not even able to save his life!

"What else would you do but be a pair and a cook? How do I feel that you really have some ability," Xia Zhen'er looked at Zhu Xiaobao and asked.

"Hey, hey! Gone! It's really gone! I just want to eat and drink and live a better life! Zhu Xiaobao shook his head and said with a smile. I was a little nervous about whether I was doing too well! This makes it easy to find trouble!

"Wu Yue said you can help her build a good knife? Is it true? Xia Zhen'er picked up another piece of stinky tofu that had just been fried, and began to spread dipping sauce on it. He asked softly.

"Nope! I'm talking nonsense, otherwise, that sister will be angry with me again! Alas, being a subordinate has no personality, being bullied by others at every turn, and she is still a woman! Zhu Xiaobao said a little unpleasantly.

"Could it be that helping you kill the high-speed iron flower is also nonsense? In fact, Wu Yue is usually not so domineering, and she is also very tolerant of her subordinates, and those subordinates don't care if they do something wrong! Did you offend her in any way? Xia Zhen'er glanced at Zhu Xiaobao, and then couldn't help but fan her mouth again, it seemed that there was still too much dipping sauce, too spicy!

"I didn't ...... No! Absolutely not, I've been staying in the nursery, and doing rough and dirty work, how can I offend her? Zhu Xiaobao immediately exclaimed with a weak heart, thinking of Wu Yue's white and tender buttocks, he still couldn't help but blush! It seems that it is indeed inadvertently a little cheap!

"Really? Do you know why I gave Ju to the yellow blacksmith? She secretly took my Fang Leaf and gave it to Ji Zhichen! Do you think I should send her away? And what did Ji Zhichen do when he stole my Fang leaves? And it cost a tael of silver! Could it be some bad habits? I've heard this man doesn't have a good reputation! Xia Zhen'er looked at Zhu Xiaobao seriously this time, as if she decided that this matter had something to do with Zhu Xiaobao!

"Huh! Princess, don't you feel too spicy, come! Eating a bowl of bracken tofu soup is not good for the stomach just eating fried things! Zhu Xiaobao was suddenly shocked, this nineteenth princess was very discerning, and even some little things were noticed by her! Zhu Xiaobao hurriedly changed the topic, uncovered the other casserole next to him, and very diligently helped Xia Zhen'er fill a bowl, and respectfully placed it in front of Xia Zhen'er.

"Hmmm! This is the good thing that Wu Yue said! Sure enough, it is very tender/smooth and delicious! Xia Zhen'er took a little taste of surprise and exclaimed.

There have been so many surprises and accidents in the past two days. Xia Zhen'er's heart became more and more sure that this Zhu Xiaobao and Ji Zhihan were definitely not ordinary people. Xia Zhen'er ate half a bowl slowly, savoring it carefully, but Zhu Xiaobao, who sat down opposite, was a little drumming in his heart, the more Xia Zhen'er didn't speak, the more nervous he became!

"Princess, why don't I serve you another bowl?" Zhu Xiaobao asked earnestly again.

"Hmmm! No need, if you really have the heart, then help Wu Yue! She saved your life after all! Xia Zhen'er once again looked at Zhu Xiaobao very seriously and said.

"If I can really help her make a good knife, can you get me out of slavery?" Zhu Xiaobao asked hesitantly, but his eyes were full of expectation, what he hated most was the identity of this slave, and he had no human rights at all!

"This won't work! According to the regulations of the Great Xia Kingdom, slaves can only get out of slavery if they go into battle and behead more than 100 people. Other than that, I can promise you the rest! And even if you can't get out of slavery, as long as you're in my house, I promise that you won't be enslaved, and I won't arrange for you to do rough work again? Is that okay? When Xia Zhen'er heard Zhu Xiaobao's words, she was immediately overjoyed, knowing that Zhu Xiaobao might really have this ability! A promise was made right away!

Being able to stop doing those dirty and tiring jobs is very attractive to Zhu Xiaobao, and he feels miserable just carrying water every day! Of course, he couldn't get out of slavery right away, which was also expected by him, although he was a little disappointed!

"Also, I agreed to all the three conditions you put forward to Wu Yue on her behalf, how about it?" Xia Zhen'er didn't order Zhu Xiaobao very bluntly, but kept discussing softly. The more this month, the more Zhu Xiaobao feels bad to refuse!

"Hmmm! Well, to make my shot, I have a few more necessary conditions! Zhu Xiaobao thought for a moment, and then also looked at Xia Zhen'er and said.

"You say! If you want someone to give it, you want money to give money, and if you lack something, I'll send someone to buy it immediately! Do you want Master Huang to help you? Xia Zhen'er immediately said very happily.

"That's exactly what I'm trying to say. I need to keep this matter a secret, and only your closest people are involved! And I have to do what I say, and there must be no objections! I guess you also know that if others know about this, my life may be in danger! Zhu Xiaobao waved his hand and said.

"Oh! Yes, I was negligent! You say, what are the necessary conditions! "Xia Zhen'er is also in her heart, this little treasure is very thoughtful! Even confidentiality and security are taken into account!

"I want a lot of people to give me a hand! 2,000 catties of coal and 1,000 catties of iron ore! And the original blacksmith Li in Fuzhong, I also have to ask some questions! Arrange another hidden place! No one else is allowed to enter! Zhu Xiaobao said all his needs in one breath, in fact, he had already thought about these things, after meeting Wu Yue yesterday, Zhu Xiaobao already seemed to be thinking about these problems!

"Don't use off-the-shelf iron tires? I can buy the best iron tires produced in Yueling Mountain, their iron tires are the best iron tires for building weapons! It's hard to find! Xia Zhen'er asked a little puzzled, with iron ore? Could it be that Zhu Xiaobao can still refine an iron tire that is better than Yueling Mountain?

"No, you don't! Unless you can get the meteorite, I can't look down on anything else! Zhu Xiaobao shook his head and said, looking very confident.

In fact, he had studied it the night before, and Wu Yue's knife had too many impurities and not enough carbon, so the hardness and toughness were not high. The reason why Gao Tiehua was able to cut off Wu Yue's knife with one knife is probably because the material of her knife is better!

This era is still relatively backward, according to the description of the chief of Wu, it should still be the original block refining method, because the temperature is not enough, so it can only be smelted into iron tires, and then forging, then heating, and then forging, repeated countless times, but because the charcoal fire contains carbon, so in the process of forging, it has actually become inferior steel! But too high carbon content is not a good thing, the biggest disadvantage of such inferior steel is that it is too brittle, easy to break or chip!

The reason why everyone agrees that the iron tire of Yueling Mountain is the best, is because it contains less impurities, the texture is softer, and gradually absorbs the carbon in the charcoal fire in the repeated beating process, and after a long time and countless times of tempering, it has formed what we often say is a hundred refining into steel, so this era also has a weapon of excellent quality, but the process of building is very long! In order to build a good weapon, some people have to temper it repeatedly for several years!

"Okay! I'll let Mr. Wu do it! Xia Zhen'er didn't hesitate at all, and didn't even ask if Zhu Xiaobao was sure that he could create a good knife. She just wants to let Zhu Xiaobao know that she trusts him completely!

This made Zhu Xiaobao a little drumming in his heart, to be honest, he is also theoretical knowledge, and the real practical experience is zero. So Zhu Xiaobao asked a little hesitantly: "Princess, you believe me so much?" ”

"Hmmm! Because the tofu soup you make is even more delicious than Wu Yue said! I believe that the knife you created must be higher than Wu Yue's requirements! Oh, by the way, how much do you get paid? Xia Zhen'er smiled and took away the last piece of stinky tofu, and then asked with a smile.

"Didn't you say that! Four taels of gold, four taels of silver, and four taels of bronze! Four taels of copper are the money for these tofus! Four taels of silver is my salary, and four taels of gold is my patent fee! Zhu Xiaobao also said with a smile.

"You knew what I was here for?" Xia Zhen'er asked a little surprised.

"Hey, hey! The princess walked casually to my dirty and broken place, who would believe this kind of coincidence! Zhu Xiaobao still said with a smile.

"Hmmm! I was negligent! So what is a royalty? Xia Zhen'er nodded, it seems that she is not mistaken, this little treasure must not be simple. I just can't understand how he could be so miserable in the Fourteenth Princess's Mansion!

"The patent fee is the special fee for me to build a treasure knife, which means that my method of building is a unique skill, and I have to charge a fee once I use it! If you accidentally build ten good knives this time, then I'm sorry, and ask the princess to pay another four hundred and thirty-six taels of gold! Zhu Xiaobao shook his head and said.

"Alas! It seems that Wu Yue didn't do anything wrong, and now I want to take you again! Xia Zhen'er couldn't help laughing. Then he stood up and stretched, and said very comfortably: "Alas, it seems that I have never eaten and drunk so casually, talked and laughed casually, I haven't felt this way for a long time!" ”

"Oh? Is it? …… It seems that four taels of copper is too cheap? "Zhu Xiaobao looked at the beautiful figure and girlish coquettishness of the nineteenth princess! I couldn't help muttering in a low voice......

The nineteenth princess shouted with a little annoyance: "Come on, take all the remaining tofu soup with me!" Hum! Four taels of copper! ”
