Section 37 The Infallibility of Sea Water (I)
In the expectant gaze, Wang Laohu opened the wooden box and took out a delicate glass bottle with a thin neck.
This bottle, which shines in the sun, turned out to be transparent! The crowd couldn't help but be amazed. You must know that although the glass bottle is not very valuable, it is said that only a few big stalls of the Yanjing glass factory can burn transparent.
"This is not from the glass factory." Seeing everyone's admiring eyes, Wang Laohu said proudly: "This is from the Francophone thousands of miles away from the ocean across the sea, to our Daming, there are less than a hundred left." I only heard the sound of gasping in the audience.
In fact, at this time, the government and the opposition advocated gorgeousness, from the ministers to the people, all of them were beautiful in color. So this kind of bottle without any color is not very attractive to the people present. The reason why everyone reacted strongly was because of the rarity of transparent glass bottles, and secondly, because of the Francophone ...... What the hell is this place?
Feeling that it had completely attracted everyone's attention, Wang Laohu raised the bottle in his hand and said, "I now feel that this thing is too plain in color, if it can be coated with a layer of gold dust, how beautiful it would be to be golden." ”
"Boy, this is Lao Tzu's question." Only then did he look down at Shen Mo and say with disdain: "Can you do it?" ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience, and everyone said: 'The black boss is black, how can such a thin bottle mouth and such a long neck be plated with gold?' "In this era, if you want to gild the inside of the bottle, you must iron it with a red-hot iron grate to fit properly. But this thin and long bottleneck is the thickness of the thumb, how can the comb-like iron grate stick into it?
Moreover, this kind of bottle is thin and brittle at first glance, even if the iron grate can be extended, it is estimated that it will not be knocked twice, and it will definitely break.
For the sake of sympathy, people have questioned how the subject is too professional, and how can a child be gilded if he is not a goldsmith.
The king shook the deed in his hand and said proudly: "It is written in black and white, and the title is drawn up by me." That's my say! Saying that, he shook his mouth full of gold teeth towards Shen Mo, and said with a smile: "Of course, if you admit defeat, you don't need to plate." ”
Shen Mo's face became extremely ugly, and everyone saw that his whole body was trembling, and they couldn't help but sigh one after another: "Poor child......
Fortunately, the young man was still a little strong, so he heard him whisper: "Then I'll try it." ”
"Try? Do you know how much my bottle costs? Wang Laohu laughed and said: "There are less than a hundred of them in the country!" "A hooligan is a hooligan after all, and it is impossible to become a person of the rules when he wears a Confucian shirt.
"Didn't you let me gild?" Shen Mo said quietly: "How can you plate it if you don't give it to me?" ”
"Are you okay, boy?" Seeing that this stupid boy was ignorant and couldn't hear the meaning of his words at all, Wang Laohu said depressedly: "No, don't waste my bottle." ”
Shen Mo said seriously: "I only know after trying." ”
Wang Laohu was made to a big head, if it weren't for the public, he would have asked his subordinates to bury this tendon kid in a pit. He fought back his anger and said, "I mean, what if it breaks?" Can you afford it? ”
"How do you know if you don't try?" Shen Mo scratched his head, as if suddenly realized: "Oh, so you were afraid that I would break it." ”
Everyone wiped their sweat and said in their hearts...... You finally get the idea.
"That's what it means." Wang Laohu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You have to give me some money as a guarantee, in case the bottle is broken, so that you can compensate me." "The hearts of the people said, "What a despicable thing, this is clearly killing people and boiling bones to boil oil!"
"It won't break." The stupid boy was surprised and said, "I'll just be careful." ”
There was silence in the room...... Everyone looked at Shen Mo with the eyes of the Buddha, and only then did they know that there were still such simple people in this era.
"Okay, okay, you don't have to pay for it yet." Wang Laohu suddenly said wildly: "If it is broken, I will never spare you!" After saying that, he left in a hurry, not daring to look at Shen Mo again, for fear of being infected by him.
"How did you go?" Shen Mo held the bottle and said strangely: "It's really rude not to even say hello." After speaking, he bowed to the two county officials and said, "The student is leaving." ”
Zhang Xiancheng closed his eyes, unwilling to look at him. Hou Xiancheng smiled and said: "Your Excellency is really talented, no less than Xu Wenqing of the county. ”
"Thanks for the compliment." Shen nodded sincerely. This sentence made everyone present laugh half of it. The remaining half of the people who didn't laugh were all Huijiren, but they were so embarrassed that they walked away without looking back, and they couldn't even listen to the stupid children who couldn't hear the words of the opposite, and they didn't deserve to give Xu Wenqing shoes.
Seeing that everyone dispersed, Shen Mo said softly and politely: "Goodbye." With that, he hugged the bottle and walked away quickly.
Seeing that the owner was gone, Hou Xiancheng also slapped his sleeves a few times and said, "Brother Zhang, let's go too, the two county lords are still waiting to reply." Zhang Xiancheng nodded with a dark face, and left without saying a word.
Hou Xiancheng was in a good mood, and he didn't care about him, humming a little song and following behind, and after a while, he arrived at the Yinfeng Building, asked the direction and went up to the third-floor room A.
In front of their subordinates, the two county commanders are still very self-contained, at least they won't fight anymore.
They had already watched the whole thing, but there was no dubbing. Listening to Hou Xiancheng's narration on the spot, it was like being there. Lu Xianling smiled and comforted Li Xianling: "Master Li doesn't have to be too sad, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers." ”
Li Xianling snorted, but did not answer. He repeatedly compared the before and after performances of silence, as if he noticed something strange...... It is impossible for a person to change so much before and after, and that kid is deliberately pretending to be stupid.
He fell into his own train of thought, and he didn't even react to Lu Xianling and Hou Xiancheng leaving, and sighed for a long time before he sighed: "This kid is so wise and stupid!" ”
Zhang Xiancheng was puzzled and asked, "Could it be that he is pretending to be stupid?" ”
Li Xianling nodded and praised: "If you don't know it, you will show weakness." You can paralyze your opponent first, and also give yourself more room to maneuver...... Once he encounters a problem, everyone naturally thinks that he can't solve it. If it is solved, it is naturally shocking and impressive, and if it can't be solved, everyone understands...... There are only benefits to horizontal and vertical lines, and there are no disadvantages. ”
'This kid was born to be an official. Li Xianling praised in his heart: "It's just self-taught." Then he ordered in a deep voice: "I also have such a bottle, you can take one out at night and go around, and see if there is a master craftsman who can do it." "For such good seedlings, you still have to help if you can.
