The big black man and Scarface didn't scare people away, Xie Hong was not stupid, he let the two killing gods out, but in order to deter Xiaoxiao, he maintained order by the way.

The audience outside also knew that a sign had already been erected outside the Zhenbao Zhai, with eight big characters on it: "First come, first, please line up!" ”

The method of queuing is very fair, and the weight of the people who maintain order is very large, so although there are many people outside Jumbo Zhai, it is orderly. Even when you see the firecrackers and know that you can enter the store soon, there is only a small stirring in the crowd.

However, the privileged class always exists, even Xie Hong, who has always flaunted fairness, is inevitably vulgar, and as soon as the firecrackers are over, the people who cut the queue come.

Of course, cutting in line is annoying, but at this time, no one has expressed an opinion, although the carriage is ordinary, but the guards around are the brocade guards. When the people in the car came, everyone's mood was calmer, since the emperor came, what did it mean to cut in line?

The crowd waiting outside didn't react, and even looked forward to it a little more. But Xie Hong, who came out, was stunned for a moment, because behind Zhengde, in addition to familiar faces such as Qian Ning and Ma Yongcheng, there were two more blonde foreigners.

Foreigners are not rare creatures in later generations, but they are still rare in the Ming Dynasty, at least Xie Hong has not seen them in Xuanfu. He had heard of it in the capital, but it was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes, especially by Zhengde's side.

"Big brother, this is the fire man Yasan and the two ears, they are all foreign monks from Franco, they came to Daming when their father was still there, and they have been coming to Xiangguo Temple. I happened to meet them outside today, so I brought them over, and let them line up outside......"

Although the person was brought by Zhengde, he didn't care much about it, and after introducing a few words casually, he said to Xie Hong urgently: "Don't talk about this, big brother, let's play a game first, and just hand it over to others outside." After speaking, he pulled Xie Hong and walked to the store.

Zhengde originally planned to pretend to be a buddy by himself, better than the addiction of doing business and making money, but unfortunately because of the matter of Shuntianfu, he was exposed, so he had to give up helplessly. He couldn't play by himself, but he was not interested in watching others do business and make money, so he didn't want to stay outside longer, so he dragged Xie Hong to play billiards.

Xie Hong looked back twice, it wasn't that he was concerned about the operation of the store, he didn't plan to come forward himself, it wasn't that he was thinking about being lazy, but his name as a plague god was too scary, and his deterrent power even surpassed that of Hei Da and Jiang Bin, and it was really not suitable to welcome customers.

It's just that the two Portuguese missionaries made him a little worried, one name was strange, and the other sounded a little familiar and interesting. Uh, the ear that the second brother said couldn't be Ronaldo, right? It's no wonder Portugal is here...... Xie Hong reluctantly went with Zhengde, originally he wanted to see more of the ancestors of the two eyeballs.

Xie Hong and Zhengde entered, Qian Ning and Ma Yongcheng also followed, but Ma Wentao on the side walked to the door, and he was responsible for welcoming guests today.

"Neighbors, today is the opening of Jumbo Zhai, the younger brother knows that you are all looking forward to it, but the store is limited, and everyone can not enter together, so it can only be on a first-come, first-served basis, limited to fifty people on the first floor, others will receive the license plate first, and enter in turn after there is a vacancy, and a number plate can accommodate up to three people to accompany ......"

The effect of the early publicity is too good, so the rhetoric of soliciting business is saved, but because there are too many people coming, I can only explain the rules.

As soon as this rule was finished, everyone nodded, and it was certain that they couldn't all go in, and there were thousands of people who came to see the excitement, and there was no room for any big place. the natural joy of the front; The one in the back is not worried, if there are fifty people on the first floor, there are four floors in Zhenbao Zhai, that is, two hundred people at a time, how much time can it take to visit a store, is it not fast?

Li Fu and a few craftsmen also had similar ideas, just smiled and didn't care. The Li Mansion was very well prepared, and there were already people lined up to line up, and the number plate was also received, but it was not in the first batch, which is a pity. And it was a coincidence that their number plates and the two people who came with the emperor were next to each other.

Originally, the people outside were in a very relaxed mood, but after a while, they began to get anxious, after the first batch of fifty people were led in by Ma Wentao, after a quarter of an hour, there were no vacant seats, what was going on? The people who went in first were too grinding, right? The first floor was watched for a quarter of an hour, and the fourth floor was not watched for more than an hour?

What's in there? Everyone began to get anxious, but it was useless to be anxious, there was no movement in it, as if there was a monster behind the screen that swallowed everyone who entered.

"Master Jin, look, this is ......" Li Fu was very anxious, his master was the second assistant, how many big things to do in a day, but he all shirked to pay attention to this side, but he couldn't get in here, isn't this ineffective?

But there is no way, the outside of this treasure Zhai is soft and hard, pleading and ignoring, and they accept the benefits, but they just don't do anything, what kind of people are these? In desperation, he had no choice but to turn to Master Jin for professional advice.

"Is this ......" Master Jin was also worried, it is more than a quarter of an hour to enjoy the treasures, in fact, it is quite rare, and not everyone is an expert, can see the doorway, how long can it be lively? And there are four floors in Jumbo Zhai, so you won't put everything on the first floor, right?

"Mr. Li, let me say a word next." Master Jin was speechless, but someone was very positive, Li Fu turned his head to look, but it was Master Mei, who was famous for making organs, he nodded and said, "Master Mei, please speak." ”

"The billiards that the emperor was addicted to before, according to the opinion below, should be a game. That Xie Hong's thinking skills must have been to put this thing on the first floor, which made the people who went in delay for so much time. ”

"Reasonable, Master Mei is really extraordinary." Li Fu thought about it and felt reasonable. Others don't know the root of billiards, but the news in the palace is not a secret to Scholar Li at all, so he knows, according to the description of Zhao Lian and others, that thing is indeed a little interesting.

As they spoke, the two of them were whispering, and they were in their native language, but no one could understand them.

"Yasan the Fire One, is that rumor you said true?"

"Of course, how can it be fake if it is spread all over the capital?"

"However, the delicate machinery of pocket watches was only just emerging in Portugal, so how could the technology spread so quickly to the far East? Although the Ming Dynasty has a lot of land and resources, they don't pay attention to technology, and they should be far behind Europe. ”

"Wait and see, it's useless for you to dream here......"

Everyone waited for about a quarter of an hour, and finally, in their eagerly anticipation, the news came out that there was a vacancy!

"Great!" Everyone waiting was overjoyed, even the calm Li Fu was excited, almost forgetting that he was here to reconnoitre, and cheered with everyone, of course, there were also two people in the middle of a somewhat strange tone.

However, Li Fu also had some small troubles here, that is, they could only enter three people with one number plate, so after he weighed it, he only brought the two people with the highest level in his mind, Jin and Mei, and the others could only wait outside.

After tossing and turning, he had to enter the door, and Li Fu also smiled bitterly. He obviously didn't have much to look forward to, just to complete the characters ordered by his master, but after waiting for half an hour, his mind became eager, not to mention those people who were already very curious?

This Xie Hong is really superb, even the link of waiting for guests has such a good effect, and the rest is even more conceivable, no wonder this person can not only be valued by the emperor, but also can make the master pay attention to it.

After bypassing the screen, there was another door, and this door was still relatively thick, and everyone wondered if it was because of this that they couldn't hear the sound outside.

But as soon as the door opened, they found that they were only half right, and the door did block the sound, but it was not the voice of a person, because the sight of the sight made everyone stunned, and they couldn't even make a sound, and no one expected that the first floor would be such a scene.

What I heard in my ears was a 'click' sound, which was very rhythmic, although there were many sound sources, but it was not cluttered at all, and what I saw in my eyes was a dazzling array of all kinds of treasures, and those who were more knowledgeable would of course know that these things with hands, no matter how big or small, had a uniform name, called clocks.

It doesn't matter if you don't know, because someone here provides an introduction, and this person is Ma Wentao who I just saw outside.

"Clocks and watches are originally things that have been circulated in China, and they are used for timekeeping...... Hanging on the wall is a pendulum clock...... Those that sit on the table are grandfather clocks...... These are small alarm clocks...... The smaller ones are pocket watches...... "Ma Wentao is very well prepared, starting from the origin, all the way to various developments, and finally, introducing each specific form.

Everyone nodded silently, just amazed in their hearts, and they were really shocked. However, they are all shocked, but some people have different feelings.

Master Kim is one of them, and when the Korean envoys came, the ministers of the DPRK and China asked the craftsmen to make a judgment on the professional surname, and he participated in it. Therefore, he also knows how complicated pocket watches are, and it is not difficult to copy, but such a delicate thing, even with enough help, can take months to make, and may even take longer.

But as far as you can see, the number of various pocket watches is not only dozens? At least hundreds! How did this come about? Not to mention that legendary bell!

The clock is a more magical existence than a pocket watch. It's not about craftsmanship and function, it's just about its fabulous additional caste...... That's right, it was the miracle that made Xie Hong get the name of the plague god, shocked Gyeonggi, and even shocked the world.

Originally, Korea was a small vassal country, and the life and death of the king there was not even a topic of conversation in the capital. But once things are mixed with Xie Hong, they will always become amazing. After receiving the bell from Xie Hong, Yanshanjun Li Long actually died the next day, although he died in a coup d'état, but it did not diminish the legendary effect of this incident in the slightest.

Nowadays, the plague god sends the bell, which has become one of the hottest topics in the capital, and the popularity of Zhenbao Zhai today is not unrelated to this, such a legendary surname, anyone is curious!

Of course, Master Jin paid more attention, he knew very well that the sophistication of the pendulum clock was far above that of the pocket watch, and the more elaborate it was, the more difficult it would be to make, but the pendulum clock, table clock, and alarm clock in front of him might not add up to as many as pocket watches, but they were not much worse.

How exactly are these things made? Master Jin just said conclusively that Xie Hong couldn't make too many treasures, so he didn't have to worry about it, but now, all his ideas have been subverted. Facts speak louder than words, and the hundreds of clocks he saw with his own eyes completely blanked him.
