Chapter Ninety-Three: Expensive Pencils
The easy-to-learn comics, the funny dialogues of the second middle school, aroused the great interest of the idle and panicked purple clothes.
"Young Master!" Ziyi's voice is sweet and greasy!
Morton suddenly got goosebumps all over his body, and said, "If you have something to say, dare to be a demon and drive you out of the house." ”
Ziyi was not afraid of Morton's powerless threat, and said coquettishly: "Young master, Ziyi also wants to learn to paint!" ”
Ziyi finally said her purpose, twisting Merton's arm and saying coquettishly.
"Are you sure you have a talent for this?" Merton knows the temperament of this girl in purple, and she doesn't like to study the most in her life.
"Young master, I promise that I will be able to learn well!" Ziyi said firmly, "You can teach me well!" ”
Ziyi pinched Merton's shoulders for a while, and beat his back for a while, and used all the means of serving people that he usually lost.
"Alright, alright! Learn if you want! ”
Merton was helpless to be entangled, so he had to agree to teach, and the most important thing was that if he didn't agree to his shoulders, he would be pinched and scattered by her.
"Yay! How nice is the young master? Ziyi jumped up and shouted happily.
Morton secretly calculated in his heart that if Ziyi wanted to learn to paint, and he didn't have time to make those dark dishes anymore, he would have a legitimate reason to change to a chef again, and he wouldn't suffer a loss.
As for whether Ziyi can learn well, it is not in Merton's consideration, she can toss it.
Art is expensive.
Even the tuition fees paid by art students in later generations are much more expensive than those of ordinary students, not to mention this era of art desert, although Ziyi has never heard of this sentence, but once again confirms this truth.
After experiencing the Silk Road, the snail Dai imported from Persia thousands of miles away was wantonly squandered by purple clothes as if they didn't want money.
Accidentally broken!
This one doesn't show much!
This one is too brittle!
The snail Dai that Fang Jun bought with a lot of money was quickly wasted by Ziyi, a ruined girl.
Fortunately, although art is quite demanding on talent, it can also be achieved with a lot of practice, especially the simple and easy-to-learn comics.
Finally, after most of the snail was consumed, Ziyi finally began to go on the road of violent man.
"Young master, what do you think of my drawing?" Ziyi happily held the masterpiece and looked at Merton expectantly.
"Ugh! Not bad! ”
Merton looked at the picture of the chickens eating rice on the rice paper, and praised that being able to draw it like this shows that those snail dai did not sacrifice in vain, and simply explained the essence of the storm to Ziyi, and sent Ziyi, who was very interested, away.
Fu Bo looked at the purple clothes who rushed out of the door with a doting face, and then walked in with a one-foot-long strip box in his hand.
"Young Master! Something you want! It has been delivered from the village! Fauber handed the item to Merton.
"Really?"
Merton was overjoyed, and quickly took it and opened it, only to see that ten wooden sticks similar to chopsticks were neatly placed in the box, each of which was evenly cut into a hexagonal shape, and there was a black core in the middle.
If someone from later generations is here, they will immediately recognize that this is the most common pencil in later generations.
Merton picked up a pencil and found that it was extremely simple, even rudimentary. The bare wood was not even painted on the surface, not to mention that there was no eraser common in later generations, and Merton was in a hurry, and Lao Zhangtou sent it over as soon as it was done
Even so, Merton was satisfied, and after coming to Datang, Merton used a quill pen to solve the problem of writing.
But the quill pen had one of its most serious defects, that is, every few words had to be dipped in ink, and Merton, who was accustomed to wielding a signature pen with a free wave in later generations, was very unaccustomed to it, and now that he had a pencil, he finally did not have to endure that pain.
Merton picked up a knife and cut off the wood on the outside of the pencil, wood is the softest paulownia tree, and Merton cut the outside of the cork into a conical shape with three or two knives, revealing the lead core made of special snails in the middle, sharpened into a pointed end, and the pencil was finally completed.
I wrote a few words on the rice paper, and the familiar feeling came back again, although the lead made by Luo Zidai was not as black as the painting pen, but it was enough for writing.
"Tie'an! Immediately take five pencils to Ziyi, and by the way, get all the snails back! Merton commanded.
"Yes, young master!"
Tie An Weng said, picked up five pencils from the box and went to find Ziyi.
"Lao Zhang sent someone to say, the amount of Luo Zidai is too small, only able to make ten pencils, and the price is expensive, he is actively studying the graphite that the young master said, and now he has a preliminary eyebrow, but before that, I am afraid that I will have to use Luo Zidai to make pencils, I am afraid that it will delay the young master's use." Fauber said.
"Then let's use Luozidai instead! I think the raw materials for making pencils are enough now. Merton looked at it with a wry smile, and Tie'an, who had returned from outside, was holding a large bag of things in his hand.
"Young Master! You want the snail Dai! Tie An put the things in his hand on the table and opened it, a large bag of half-cut snails covered half of the table, and the purple clothes who were in trouble obviously didn't dare to show up, and they didn't know where to hide and secretly practiced with a new pencil.
Morton looked at the masterpiece of purple clothes, and also cried and laughed: "Fortunately, Uncle Zhang made the pencil in time, if it is a few days late, our Mofu will go out of business!" ”
"The young master is so good to Ziyi!" Fauber sighed.
Usually reluctant to call, usually very free, even the precious snail Dai is used arbitrarily, the young master of that family can do this to his own maid.
Morton smiled slightly when she heard this, Ziyi was the first person she appeared in front of her when she came to Datang, not to mention the experience of Ziyi and his predecessor relying on each other, Merton's impression of him was of course different.
In the next few days, I lived a life of eating and waiting for death every day, and by the way, I used to teach my arrogant maid.
The business of Mojia Village has been regularized, and the Quyuan plough and chicken, duck and goose cubs in Mojia Village occupy the entire market in Guanzhong, and are spreading outward at an extremely terrifying speed, and there is an endless stream of orders for supply, and there is no need to worry about Moton at all.
After the last Jiaosifang incident, Qin Huaiyu and the three of them have not shown up, and when they heard that they were grounded, Merton gloated for a while, and then ignored these guys.
Merton's status is the highest in the Mo Mansion, and Li Yi has been free to Merton since Merton showed his talent, and it was Merton who was drunk this time, and after coming to see that it was okay, he left.
This kind of comfortable day Merton lived extremely comfortably, and even forgot that he had already been targeted by a terrifying demon king, when Pound's smiling face appeared in Merton, Merton suddenly remembered Li Chengqian's reminder a few days ago.
Li Er, the biggest surrogate in the world, wants to see Merton.
