Chapter 164: The Ancient Blind Date Conference (4)
Regarding the matter of asking the carpenter to make things, it should be traced back to before Ziyou went to Jiuli Mountain, Ziyou already had a business plan before, and he had not yet had time to implement it.
He wanted to make something that was not available in ancient times, but it was easy to make and could be sold, so he asked the carpenters in the city and arranged for them to make it.
It's just that when I got into a bandit's den later, and when I came back and took over Zhao Yiyi's file, I almost forgot about it.
Seeing the box on the table, Ziyou swallowed his saliva, and couldn't help but open it to see if it was as he imagined.
Before opening it, I asked the owner of the carpenter's shop again. "Is it made from the best birch nodules, as I said?"
"Since it's something that the little brother asked, we will naturally do it, birch nodules are mostly used to make dishes and chopsticks, I really can't figure out what the use of these things you want?" The carpenter boss said.
"Can't you see?" Ziyou stroked the wooden box in front of him.
"The old carpenter has been a carpenter for decades, and it is the first time to make something of this shape, but in terms of shape, it looks like ......" The old carpenter said this, his face changed slightly, and he suddenly snorted and stopped talking.
At this time, Ziyou had already opened the wooden box, and after confirming the contents of the contents, he closed it satisfactorily.
"That's right, what you think is already very close, here is the final payment, I took the things, maybe I will come to you to ask for goods in the future, you can buy it in advance." Ziyou smiled and hugged the wooden box the size of a school bag, and left the carpenter shop.
When they saw Ziyou coming back with a wooden box, Zhao Yiyi and Xiaofan were at home, and when they saw Ziyou coming back with something, they were curious to know what it was.
It's just that Ziyou waved his hand mysteriously, suppressing their curiosity, and this thing can't be known to more people yet. Trade secrets, even these two more trusted people, I don't know how strange they will react when they see it.
Ziyou is not in a hurry, now the first thing to consider is how to successfully open Zhao Chen's shoes, then it will be fine.
The money thing, very adequate. Even if he helped Zhao Yiyi pay the arrears, Ziyou still has more than 100 taels, which is enough for the blind date conference and opening a store.
Zhao Yiyi was still a little surprised at why Ziyou could come up with enough silver taels at any time to buy what he wanted to do, but in the end he didn't ask.
Or to believe Ziyou's statement, his sister stayed.
……
The rest of the time, Ziyou basically has nothing to do, and usually teases Xiaorice. Tell him the story of a man and a woman who are happily together.
There is also the feeling of watching Zhao Yiyi make clothes, and pointing out some details of her clothes, in order to make modern clothes, at least very close.
However, on the third day, some news reached Ziyou's ears.
That Daddy Zhao has been running back and forth around the Chen family's shoe shop, not only does he not feel tired, but because he has something to do. The whole person seems to have found a second spring.
It seems that he should know that the Zhao family's ready-to-wear clothes can be resurrected. It was opened on the original site, and Ziyou contributed a lot to it, but perhaps because of his character, he didn't express his gratitude to Ziyou, but a deserved attitude, and he didn't know what to think.
He had just returned from a busy day outside in the evening. So he said some hearsay outside at the dinner table as a talking point for the four of them. "Do you know, there will be a blind date meeting on the side of Yunlong Lake in a few days......"
After hearing this, Zhao Yiyi pursed her lips and laughed. He didn't seem to have told Daddy Zhao about this before, and he only said that he got the news for the first time.
Zhao Yiyi looked up at Ziyou's expression.
I saw the latter pretending to be surprised. "Blind date conference? What a blind date conference. ”
Father Zhao looked at Ziyou with a look of disdain, as if to say, you have never seen the world.
"This blind date meeting, it is said that it is spread from Chang'an, every year on the tenth day of October, when the camellia is in full bloom, the unmarried men and women in the vicinity gather under the camellia tree, express their love to each other, and at the same time make a wish to the flower tree, the camellia fairy can bless them with a sweet companionship for life, and then ask the matchmaker to go to their own home to say kiss...... After gaining recognition, you can worship heaven and earth and truly get married. ”
"Camellia trees are determined for life?" Ziyou's eyes widened, and he asked a little incomprehensibly.
"You don't even know that?" Father Zhao decisively pretended to be profound, dragged it up, and looked like educating the juniors. "Sure enough, if you don't learn anything, you don't know the story about the camellia fairy?"
"Daddy Zhao, tell me about ......" Ziyou smiled and made a gesture of please.
Father Zhao coughed and spoke.
"The story of the camellia fairy should be traced back to the previous dynasties, there was a scholar who was poor at home, but there was a camellia tree at the door of his house, evergreen all year round, and the flowers were fragrant, and the scholar's favorite thing to do was to hold a book and read poetry under the camellia tree, until he was sleepy and fell asleep under the tree, and every time at this time, the camellia tree would shake off a piece of leaves, covering the scholar's body and sheltering him from the cold."
"Day after day, year after year, when one day the scholar did not come to study under the camellia tree as usual, the camellia tree began to worry about the scholar, she transformed into the appearance of a young woman, and for the first time stepped into the hut that she saw every day, but never entered, only to see that there was nothing in the house, only a bed, and the scholar was lying on the bed, his face was pale, and there was a pool of blood beside the bed, which seemed to have been vomited by the scholar."
"The book is sick, the illness is not light, the perennial hunger is full, so that his body is finally overwhelmed and falls, the camellia tree illusion girl saw this, worried, she plucked a camellia from her head, poured her mana, ground it into powder for the scholar to take, the result of a miracle happened, the scholar slowly opened his eyes, the face of the miserable white gradually became ruddy, after waking up, he saw the beautiful woman in front of him, realized that she saved himself, and immediately thanked Dade to express his gratitude."
But the camellia fairy hurriedly stopped her, she said, it was the scholar who recited poetry and books under the tree every day, giving her spirituality, she ...... Just to repay the ......"
Only then did the scholar realize that the woman in front of him was a flower demon, but he did not look down on the camellia fairy because of this, but said to her, since there is such a thing, I still talk about fame in vain, even if I am poor all my life, but I want to be with you every day."
When Father Zhao said this, he made a dumb gesture and asked Xiang Ziyou and the three people. "What do you guess the camellia fairy said to the scholar?"
Ziyou dragged his cheeks and listened, and when he saw Father Zhao asking proudly, he casually picked it up. "Eighty percent is to say, you can't insist on this, men should be famous first, concubines don't dare to mislead the king's future, if the monarch wants so, the flower of the concubine will wither in the four seasons, and there is no fragrance to appreciate!"
Father Zhao listened in surprise as Ziyou continued the story.
And Zhao Yiyi and Xiaofan are also obsessed listening.
The scholar immediately blamed himself for his abruptness, and after that, under the encouragement of the camellia fairy, he began to study hard, until one day, when the scholar felt that his knowledge was sufficient to cope with the imperial examination, he said goodbye to the camellia tree, and the scholar made an agreement with the camellia tree. At the end of the year, before the first snowfall, he would return to see her with fame...... Build this place into a large courtyard, and she will be with her for the rest of her life, and the camellia tree may not be, and at that time she will bloom the most beautiful camellia to welcome his return. ”
"The scholar was nostalgic for the camellia tree and left verses on the trunk of the camellia tree. (If you want to smoke to cover the road, the camellia is an acacia tree)"
After that, the scholar left, and the camellia tree waited here alone, waiting for the return of the scholar, until the end of the year, the camellia tree bloomed the most beautiful flowers as promised, and all the strength accumulated for a year bloomed at this time, the fragrance of the flower, spread far and wide, and the surrounding villagers were attracted to see what kind of flower, it was so fragrant, the snow was flying, but it was just the embellishment of the brilliant camellia! When the villagers saw the camellia tree, they were immediately shocked by the beauty. ”
She was disappointed to see so many people coming here, but none of them were the scholars she had been dreaming about, but she firmly believed that the scholars would return, and she only remembered that the scholars would return when the first snow came at the end of the year. So this year, without waiting for the scholar, the camellia tree did not give up, and in the second year, she once again used the strength she had accumulated for a year to bloom her flowers, but there was still no news......"
"The camellia fairy does not give up, and it is still the case in the third year, although this time although she has not waited for the scholar, but because of her famous wonders, the local observers were alarmed, and the whole family came to watch, and when the big man approached the camellia tree, he was immediately attracted by the verses carved on the tree."
"If you want to smoke to cover the road, the camellia is a acacia tree...... The master recognized this poem, and it turned out that you were the camellia tree in the poem! ”
"The big man is none other than the candidate in the same period as the scholar, he said that the scholar is full of wealth, and there is almost no problem in obtaining fame, but his examination paper was replaced by the children of an official eunuch's family, replacing his place, and the scholar who knew this matter vomited blood on the spot, and read camellia, camellia when he was dying, and he also held that poem in his hand......"
