The lion's head and the figure fell left and right, and a touch of blue on a red background jumped up, until a white silk scarf shot out, wrapping the falling person around the waist, and everyone saw that the bright color was actually a beauty in a red dress. But seeing that the silk scarf was soft, the lion-headed man of the Silver Light Hall was pulled like this, and the body that fell down suddenly slowed down.

The hundreds of onlookers opened their mouths and were about to shout 'Good! Called out, but saw the strength swing back, the lion body of the silver light hall swayed, and when he saw that he was about to be crushed by the lion-headed man, the cheers were choked hard.

The silk scarf was detached from the jade palm, and the lion-headed man fell from a height of two or three feet, and stood firmly, but no one paid attention to him, not including himself, and looked up eagerly. The beauty fluttered, and with the power of this reverberation, her waist turned, not only stabilizing the lion body of Yinguangtang, but also turning her hand to catch the lion head that was about to land.

"Okay!" This cheer was really suppressed, and finally broke out in the crowd, and the beauty stepped on the lion body in a few steps, and the lion's head was raised high again, which looked particularly high-spirited.

"Yo! Which little lady actually wants to stand up for Yinguangtang!? ”

"This skill is not ordinary, I don't know which master's apprentice?"

Seeing the two lions facing each other again, the onlookers talked loudly.

"Gongs and drums! What about gongs and drums!? ”

Then everyone woke up to the fact that there was no music, and the gong and drum masters were also shocked by the scene just now, and they forgot to continue playing.

In the hustle and bustle of the music, the lion's head swayed from side to side again, and it was about to pounce on the green salute in the air. Li Xian was worried and distressed, his three mothers were really suffocated, and now he was actually having fun, and he ran directly to dance the lion, just hoping that nothing would happen.

Saying that he was afraid of something, as soon as he thought about it, he heard another burst of exclamations, mixed with some scolding, and when he looked at it, Li Xi couldn't help but rush angrily. The lion-headed man in the round hall was stunned and slammed the lion's head towards Yan Sanniang's head, and he could faintly see an arm holding a fist sticking out of the lion's head and hitting Yan Sanniang directly.

As soon as the lion's head stretched and shrank, Yan Sanniang avoided the pressure of the collision and smashing lightly, the figure grew up, and the arm was raised, and he was about to pick up the Qingli. The lion's head in the round hall fluttered into the air, and the lion's body shook again, seeing that it was about to lose its balance, and everyone who was scolding below also sneered gloatingly, who made you monkey in a hurry?

But the monkey soon turned into a dog, and the lion-headed man of Yuandingtang saw that it was difficult to stabilize it, and the opportunity was lost, so the dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, and simply took the lion's head and pounced on Yan Sanniang properly. Li Shi's first reaction below was to hold the moon thunder gun on his waist, not to mention the frequent fouls, and now he dares to do something to Yan Sanniang!?

He didn't have time to pull out the gun, and the people around him didn't have time to exclaim, Yan Sanniang's lion head was slightly on one side, as if she had stretched her waist and yawned, the lion head of Yuandingtang was knocked away with a bang, and she also took advantage of this collision to pull out again, the bamboo pole swayed in mid-air, and when the lion's head retracted, the green gift had already entered the lion's mouth.

There was a muffled bang, and the lion of the Yuanding Hall collapsed to the ground, accompanied by a chaotic cry of pain. Everyone didn't even want to give them a look of disdain, so they slapped the lion head of the Silver Light Hall and clapped it, cheering endlessly, which immediately attracted more onlookers.

The lion of Yinguangtang fell, and the red paper bag with a cabbage was thrown up, and it smashed on the original lion-headed man, and the young man was still watching in a daze. When the lion's head was taken off, Yan Sanniang's figure was clearly revealed, the peony hat on her head with a veil was also lifted away by the lion's head, and a beautiful face full of vitality was no longer able to hide, and the cheers around her suddenly stopped, and the scene was so quiet that only the painful snorts of the people in Yuandingtang remained.

"It seems that you have one more title, what should you call it, Lion Fairy?"

Li Xian dragged away Yan Sanniang, who didn't know how much turmoil he had caused, and was ready to come to the curtain call like he used to perform at the foot of the Sichuan-Yunnan Mountain.

"I ...... I just looked at the person who was too shameless, did I do something wrong? ”

At this time, she finally came to her senses, and her cheeks, which had been extremely pink from a strenuous exercise, were even more red.

"Fairy stay!"

"Don't go, goddess!"

Seeing that Yan Sanniang was pulled away, the onlookers also came to their senses, stretched their necks and feet to look at and shout. I've seen a lot of lion dances, when have I ever seen a fairy who doesn't look like a mortal in terms of skills or appearance?

"Hey, hey! Who is this kid? Dare to be a fairy!? ”

"Don't cover it, let the fairy talk to everyone, thank you!"

The voices of people were like a tide, and then they were led by the reckless man surnamed Gan, and countless people rushed towards Li Xian. Yan Sanniang hurriedly covered her veil, she was not afraid of being seen by others again, but she was ready to block the complaining gaze that Li Shi was about to project.

His hand was blocked by Li Shi, he stopped, looked at Yan Sanniang, and shook his head with a slight smile: "You didn't do anything wrong, this should be the place where you became famous, and ......"

A large crowd of people rushed over, as well as the lion team of the Silver Light Hall, who shouted with gratitude and eagerness: "Please leave a name for the fairy!" ”

Yan Sanniang's mind had already sobered up from the impulse just now, and she was feeling annoyed, feeling that she had probably ruined Li Shi's big thing, and he didn't understand what he said just now. But he didn't want Li Xi to wrap his arms around her and hug her tightly into his arms.

Looking at everyone calmly, Li Xian said loudly: "Yingde Li Xian, Yan Wing Chun!" You've got it in mind! ”

Turning around, Li Xian said the second half of the sentence to Yan Sanniang: "This is my Sanniang." ”

Yan Sanniang was already so ashamed that she wanted to break away from him, but she was wrapped in the thick warmth in these words, and the strength accumulated in her waist suddenly melted, and she hugged Li Shi with her arms back, and she was speechless.

"Li Shi!?"

"What a big breath! It's so big...... Shelf! ”

"Good Grace ......"

The crowd was blocked by Li Xian's common name just now, and it wasn't until Yu Hanyi and his party covered the figures of the two and gradually moved away, and everyone made a noise.

"Yo! Yingde's Li Shi, isn't it Li Beijiang!? ”

Someone finally woke up, and after a while, the crowd disintegrated into grains of cold sand and dispersed in all directions, and you could vaguely hear emotions such as "big people are different".

"Yim Wing Chun ......"

In the lion team of Yinguangtang, the young lion-headed man touched the red envelope in his hand, and followed his partners to bow deeply to the figures in the distance.

"Li Xian......"

In the other lion team that followed the crowd out, the lion-headed man who was being supported by others and was crying out in pain gritted his teeth.

A small picking, but it is just a small section, except for appreciating Sanniang's photogenic posture, Li Xi didn't pay attention to it anymore. In the next two or three days, led by Liang Huan, and after meeting and discussing with several iron shop bosses, the heavy depression also pressed this bright color into the depths of my heart.

There is still no progress in things, and there are people who don't want to do much, just get by and make money, after all, there are risks. There are also those who are moved, but are pressed by the government and dare not act rashly, their iron business, the furnace number of each furnace must be reported to the governor, and the armor of the furnace worker group of each furnace must be reported to the governor. There are also those who don't believe that Li Xi can rely on a series of machines to make round steel balls, and always feel that this is a fool's dream.

All in all, Li Shi's plan for Tiexing is also like a fool's dream.

Relying on Peng Xianzhong's influence in Guangzhou and Liang Huan's agreement, Li Xian's only gain was that the proprietors of the Iron Company agreed to hold a meeting in the Iron Guild Hall, and Li Xian made one last effort.

"Our bearings, because they are made of steel, are not only durable, stable and silent, but also have few problems, usually those cars have to be repaired in two or three months, and even to change the axle, with steel bearings, three or five years will not be broken!"

Peng Xianzhong beckoned as he spoke, and an attendant pushed a table over, only to see that there were only four small wheels under the table, and there was only a slight low hum on the flat ground. And the water glass on the table only shook slightly.

Taking a sip from his water glass, Peng Xianzhong continued his speech.

"The usefulness of this bearing is just for the car. It's just an old two-wheeler, and there are no less than a million in the south alone. Each bearing is replaced every two years, which is the demand for millions of bearings in one year. Each bearing consumes two taels of steel, and the amount of steel is 1340,000 catties. Counting the labor, if you use machinery, one person can produce at least thirty or fifty a day, plus the labor of steel, three or five hundred people can do such a business. Roughly calculated, the amortization of steel, earth, labor, machinery and other miscellaneous items will never add up to more than 100,000 taels of silver. And each bearing is only sold for four dollars of silver, and it can become a big business of 400,000 taels of silver a year! ”

There was also a wooden frame beside him, and every time he said an important point, an attendant turned up a picture with a loud voice, and depicted the key point in numbers and pictures very clearly, and the thirty or forty members of the iron line were quite curious to see and listen to very excitedly.

"And this bearing, why is it only used for oxen and horse carts? The stone mill of the mill, the spinning wheel of the weaver, the crushed iron ore, the crushed indigo of dye, the threshing of rice, as long as the things that can be turned, with steel bearings, will be labor-saving and durable. Just this bearing, we in Foshan, can make a million taels of silver! ”

Peng Xianzhong used an impassioned tone to vividly put a picture scroll of ups and downs in front of the proprietor of the iron line.

"A million taels of silver! One million taels, ladies and gentlemen, how many iron pots and wires do you have to sell, and how many craftsmen do you need to use to make a business of one million taels!? Nowadays, we only need less than 1,000 craftsmen to buy the machinery of our Qingtian company, and we can teach a complete set of skills. Forty proprietors, each with some craftsmen and some capital, and our general department to build a bearing line, a good future, at your fingertips! ”

Peng Xianzhong finished speaking sonorously, and when the aftermath echoed, many of the proprietors of the iron shop in the hall had their eyes shining, their mouths slightly open, and they seemed to be about to shout that they were going to count me in. can look at each other, but they are suppressed by a thick layer of helplessness.

Li Xian, who was sitting in the back, frowned, he didn't expect to get a warm response with Peng Xianzhong's demonstration and incitement, but like now, the situation of silence was far beyond his expectations. The prospect is also clear, the cost is also clear, no machinery, no production line can not make steel bearings they also understand, this is at least 100% profit, why these proprietors, the capital blood surname is so weak? At least someone has to stand up and find out where the difficulties are.

Li Shi wanted to win this opportunity to agitate the proprietor of the iron bank, not to get things done, but to see what direction the difficulty of the matter was, one-to-one conversation, not enough friendship, difficult to go deeper, only under the impact of this kind of naked interests, can the reef that hinders capital be exposed.

But in the current situation, it seems that things are not just about capital and profit.

"A million taels...... Hehe...... A million taels, what a big business! Li Beijiang, you are shouting for a million taels of business here, but you don't even care about my master's New Year's gift, have you really forgotten, who gave you the opportunity to make money? ”

A cold voice appeared, and a cold wind blew through the hall, and the proprietors of the iron shop all shrunk their necks and bent over, bowing respectfully towards the visitors.

Peng Xianzhong whispered in his ear about the origin of this person, Li Xian's pupils constricted, no wonder ......, "My master said that although others are in Jiangnan, their hearts are running around for the Long Live Lord." I thought that you Li Shi would still do things, and give you the opportunity to let you take charge of the customs meetings of Taiping Pass and Yuxian Bridge Pass, but I never thought that you would rather throw money at other people, but you didn't say anything special to my master. This dog is not counting on other people to catch rabbits. ”

A young little fat man appeared leisurely, followed by a middle-aged wealthy businessman.

"It's not like letting it take off the reins and run into the field to eat it by itself. A million taels, haha...... Don't be too bold, do you dare to think about this Foshan? I'm not afraid that my master will mention a dozen words in the fold, so that even if you carry a million taels of silver, you can become a yellow paper floating on the grave in an instant!? ”

The little fat man looked at Li Xian's disdainful eyes like looking at a dog, and Li Xian looked back at him coldly, also looking at a dog.

This person is a serious dog, the family of Suzhou weaver Li Xu, surnamed Ji and named Heizi.
