"You guys, you must complete the task of 2,000 bird guns by the end of this month, or you will all be punished. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info I beg you......" Wang Gui, the ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau, arched his hand and said to the craftsmen.

Wang Gui is not a bad person, and he doesn't deduct much from the craftsmen, but Bi Maokang is basically satisfied with him.

Several firearms craftsmen said worriedly: "My lord, those who are not enough fine iron to make 2,000 bird guns, if they are forced to do it, I am afraid that they will explode." ”

"This official also knows that he will cut corners and blow up the chamber, but what can he do? The official can't make iron. Wang Guidao.

Speaking of this, when he saw Bi Maokang, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile: "Master Bi is here, I have something to do." ”

"Master Bi...... Master Bi...... Master Bi ...... "Several craftsmen greeted each other and hurriedly came over to kowtow and salute.

After a few people finished saluting, Bi Maokang smiled and helped up a few firearms craftsmen, and said kindly: "I haven't seen a few people for a few days, how are you doing?" ”

"Thank you for your concern, and it's okay for the villain." The craftsmen said.

"My lord, I want to ask you for a favor...... "Wang Gui, the ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau, said flatteringly.

Looking at a few craftsmen, with yellow faces, some of them still have marks on their hair and faces that have been burned by Mars, thinking of the days when the craftsmen were half-starved and half-full, thinking of the current chaos in the Ming Dynasty, Bi Maokang's heart was heavy, he sighed and said: "I heard it all, tomorrow I will go to the military department to talk to Lord Shangshu to see if I can reduce the task a little." ”

"Master Xie......" everyone said in unison.

"Don't be too busy thanking, don't be busy thanking, I still have something to ask of you." As he spoke, he took the pistol out of his cloth bag and placed it on the table in front of everyone, and everyone's eyes suddenly looked at the table.

Bi Maokang didn't say anything and looked at everyone. After a while, Wei Sanxi picked up the pistol and looked at it carefully, looked at it for a while, and then said: "This seems to be a handcuff, this handcuff is made of steel, the style is exquisite, the lines are smooth, and the appearance is beautiful. ”

"Yes! Yes! ......" This Wei Sanxi has superb skills in making fire guns, and as soon as he spoke, other people nodded in agreement.

Bi Maokang nodded and said: "Master Wei is right, this handcuff was brought back from overseas by a relative of mine, I would like to ask you to study it carefully to see if I can imitate it?" With that, Bi Maokang slowly disassembled the pistol into a pile of parts.

Wei Sanxi picked up the parts one by one and looked at them carefully, the more he looked at them, the more solemn his expression became, and after reading it, he said in a solemn tone: "Master Bi, it's not the villain who spoils your interest, I'm afraid that no one in my Ming Dynasty can imitate this thing." ”

"Master Wei, I also know that this thing is exquisite, but my Ming can even imitate the cannon of the red-haired fan, can't I imitate this little handcuff?" Bi Maokang said unconvinced.

Hearing this, Wei Sanxi picked up a part and said: "My lord, please see, this accessory is horizontal and vertical, the edges and corners are extremely neat, it seems to be made by a large tool, and then look at this gun, not only the appearance is smooth, the inner wall is also extremely smooth, and there are wavy stripes engraved inside, although I don't know what this pattern is for, but I don't think it will be used to look good, and then look at this gun, made of fine copper, the outside is shiny and bright, the head is tapered, it can be seen that the armor-breaking ability is excellent, to sum up, the imitation difficulty of this handcuff is much higher than that of the red-haired fanren's red-clothed cannon. ”

"Shhh ......" everyone in the room gasped.

Bi Maokang asked without giving up: "Is it possible that no one can make this thing in my Ming Dynasty?" ”

After hesitating for a while, Wei Sanxi gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't worry, give this handcuff to the villain, and the villain will take it to my master to see if he can copy it." My master Liu Neng is known as the ghost hand Sailuban, and he practiced in Zhongnan Mountain. ”

After thinking for a while, Bi Maokang asked, "How many days do you have to go back and forth?" ”

"If you ride a horse, it will take ten days to go back and forth," Wei Sanxi said.

"Okay, you and Yang Hong take the old man's piece to the military department of the military department, take two good horses, take the parts of this handcuff to Zhongnan Mountain, find your master to have a look, see if he can make this handcuff, and then you can come back and report to the old man, the old man will provide you two twelve days, and the old man will talk to the Ministry of Industry about the task of the two of you during this time." Bi Maokang said

"Be cautious and obey your orders, let's go home and pack up and set off immediately." As they spoke, they picked up the cloth bag of pistol accessories and accessories on the table, took Bi Maokang's name card, and hurried out.

In the Ordnance Bureau, he discussed the production process of this overseas handcuff with Wang Gui and Du Decai, and Bi Maokang went to the Ministry of War to intercede for the task of the Ordnance Bureau.

Zhao Guohua, Zhang Shun and Miss Xiu'er were wandering on the street, Miss Xiu'er was in a very good mood, she walked to this stall for a while, and then walked to that stall to see, entered this shop, went out of that shop, and walked with a smile. Zhao Guohua bought her a lot of girls' favorite gadgets, such as pearl earrings, headdresses, etc., which made her Zhao brother Zhao scream frequently.

Walking around, I unconsciously walked to the street in front of the store of "Washing Encounter". Looking at the customers coming in and out here, Miss Xiu'er asked curiously: "Brother Zhang, what is sold here, why are there so many people." ”

Zhang Shun looked at the customers coming in and out of the store, and said with a smile: "Soap and shampoo." ”

"Soap and shampoo? Didn't you make that, why do you sell it here? Miss Xiu'er couldn't help but say loudly.

A middle-aged man wearing a blue robe and a melon skin hat" (also known as a six-in-one hat) happened to walk out of a small door next to the store, hearing this, he couldn't help but look up at the three people, and saw two men and one woman, the woman was young and lively, beautiful and beautiful, one of the two men was a civilian, and the other was fair-skinned and burly, like a scribe but not very much like a scribe, like a general, like a general, it was difficult to guess his identity.

Thinking of the girl's words just now, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "A few people, in Xia Zhang Bao, the shopkeeper of "Washing Meeting", a few of you just mentioned soap and shampoo, I don't know if you want to buy or sell?" ”

Miss Xiu'er looked at the man and said, "Shopkeeper Zhang, the soap and shampoo sold in your store are made by my Brother Zhao, I don't know why you don't know my Brother Zhao?" Zhang Bao was overjoyed when he heard this, and said in his heart: I finally found the owner of the soap and shampoo production, so he asked excitedly: "This girl, I don't know who Boss Zhao is?" ”

"Oh, that's him! ......" Miss Xiu'er smiled and pointed at Zhao Guohua.

"Oh, it turns out that you are Boss Zhao, it's really disrespectful and disrespectful, ...... Please go to the humble house for a cup of tea. Zhang Bao invited very warmly. Zhao Guohua was also wondering about the source of the soap and shampoo in his store, and seeing his smile and sincere invitation, he bowed his hand and said with a faint smile: "This is a lot of disturbance......

"Boss Zhao said there...... Please please ......" Zhang Bao bowed down with a smile on his face and led the way. Walk not far away, you will arrive at a door, enter a few portals, come to a fine house, only to see the window is bright and quiet, the layout is elegant, there are a few bushes of bamboo in the courtyard, there are several kinds of potted flowers in front of the court, a few plain chairs are placed in the house, there is a white jade Ruyi on a black lacquered and shiny round eight immortal table, and there are several delicate gadgets on the Bogu shelf.

Zhao Guohua nodded secretly, and also praised the layout in the house.

"You may be seated. Come on, serve tea...... Good tea," Zhang Bao greeted with a smile. Zhao Guohua said with a smile: "Boss Zhang is too polite, I met Boss Zhang for the first time, it's not worth it." ”

"Worth it! Worth! I've wanted to hear about Boss Zhao for a long time, but I haven't had the chance to see each other, and today I finally got my wish. Zhang Bao said with a smile. As he was talking, a few maids walked in with a plate of tea, and when they entered the house, although the lid of the teacup had not been opened, a mellow tea fragrance had drifted in the house, the fragrance was fresh, light and quiet, and the fragrance was long, which made people's hearts warm and comfortable.

After putting down the tea, a few maids bowed down and bowed, and then retreated.

Open the lid of the cup, only to see that the tea is light green, the soup color is green and clear, very attractive, the tea leaves stand upright in the boiling water half floating and half sinking, and the fragrance of tea wafts out with the water vapor. Zhao Guohua took a sip of tea foam, fresh and sweet, fragrant and pleasant, with a rhyme after drinking, light and no astringency and bitterness. He drank the best Longjing in later generations, and as soon as he drank it, he knew that this was the taste of the best Longjing.

The best Longjing is emerald green in color, rich in aroma, mellow and refreshing, shaped like a bird's tongue, that is, it has the characteristics of "color green, fragrant, sweet taste, and beautiful shape". Longjing tea because of its different origins, divided into West Lake Longjing, Qiantang Longjing, Yuezhou Longjing three kinds, in addition to the West Lake production area of 168 square kilometers of tea called West Lake Longjing, the other two real estate commonly known as Zhejiang Longjing tea. Longjing tea was produced in the Song Dynasty and flourished in the Ming Dynasty. The tea that was harvested before the Qingming Dynasty was called "Ming Qian Tea", and the one picked before the rain in the valley was called "Tea Before the Rain". There is a saying that "before the rain is the best grade, before the bright is a treasure". When Longjing tea is brewed, but see the buds and buds stand upright, the soup color is clear, and the fragrance is overflowing, especially a bud and a leaf, commonly known as "a flag and a gun" are the best.

Qing Dynasty tea tasters praised Longjing: "Sweet and fragrant like orchid, secluded but not wet, sipping indifferent, seemingly tasteless, and after drinking, the feeling of too harmonious gas permeates the teeth and forehead, this tasteless taste, and even taste." ”

"Boss Zhang, this superb Longjing is not cheap. It's too much for hospitality. Zhao Guohua said with a smile. Zhang Bao said with a smile: "The sword is given to the hero, the pink is matched with the beauty, and the distinguished guests should be treated with good tea...... Hahahaha......"

Looking at Zhang Bao with a smile, Zhao Guohua said: "Boss Zhang treats me like this, I must have something to ask for......"

"Hahahaha......... Boss Zhao is fast-talking and bold...... Zhang admired......" Zhang Bao said with a laugh.

Nanjing's purchasing power and commodity prices are not comparable to Ji'an's prefecture, let alone the population of Yongxinna's inland county of more than 100,000. It is Zhao Guohua's desire to have a large amount of money to develop his strength as soon as possible, and the sales price of soap and shampoo in Nanjing has already made Zhao Guohua's heart move, and he has the idea of opening a store in Nanjing, but he thinks that there is no suitable talent, and it is difficult to make a decision because of the distance and transportation between the two places.

Looking at Zhang Bao with a happy face, Zhao Guohua smiled and said, "I don't know how Boss Zhang wants to cooperate?" ”

"We underwrite half of the soap and shampoo you produce, and the price is purchased at the wholesale price of Yongxin County?" Zhang Bao said with a smile.
