Chapter 31: Timber, Dinner
Luo Xiaobei doesn't look down on me, I don't know about this, but I know that she is a guy who has more than enough success and more than failure, and she acts completely according to her own mood.
Besides, I vaguely feel that Luo Xiaobei always has a little inexplicable feelings for my cousin Lu Zuo.
With such a relationship, how dare I think about it?
Not long after Luo Xiaobei left, a doctor came over to help Lao Peng with medicine.
Although it was introduced by Luo Xiaobei, but people really returned to one yard, but they didn't give a discount, after a hundred diamond shells were handed over, the old master took out a sharp scimitar and said to Lao Peng: "Big brother, you have to endure a little pain." β
Lao Peng was lying on the bed, gritting his teeth, come on, if a man can't stand this pain, what will he take out to break into the rivers and lakes? Yes......
Without the slightest defense, the old master pulled down with a knife, cutting his right hand into a bloody blur.
Lao Peng's whole arm was twitching, and then the old master first used white gauze to stop the bleeding slightly, and then unscrewed a jade round box, and took out a quarter of the dark green plaster inside.
The dark green plasters had a sweet, earthy scent similar to ambergris, and he applied it evenly to the wound.
As soon as the plaster was combined with the wound, it reacted quickly, first turning into a foam, then quickly hardening, wrapping around the wrist and forming a thick black callus.
After doing this, the master took a towel and cleaned his hands, and then said to us: "Don't touch the water with this hand, after twenty-four hours, soak the cocoon with warm water, and then wrap one-eighth of the amount in the wound every day, and when the plaster is finished, the meridians will naturally recover." β
Hearing this, Feather Scar cried with joy and said thank you, thank you......
The old master packed up the toolbox, and then said, "It's okay, it's all what I should do, besides, didn't you give money?" β
After watching the use of nephrite intermittent cream, we encouraged Lao Peng a few words, and then found the housekeeper Uncle Qin and asked him to take us to the warehouse to find the wood we needed.
This matter was ordered by Luo Xiaobei, and Uncle Qin naturally didn't dare to slack off, and took us to the warehouse, which was a huge warehouse with many things placed in different categories.
The inspection of entering and exiting the warehouse is very cumbersome, and even with the leadership of Uncle Qin, the relevant procedures take more than half an hour.
After such a toss, I finally came to the timber area.
There are many varieties of wood here, all kinds, including iron pear wood, toon wood, camphor wood, yellow rosewood, Baile sheng sandalwood, boxwood, red sour branch wood, rouge wood, golden silk nanmu, agarwood, shade wood and so on.
I accompanied the prince to study, and watched the flowers and flowers, but Qu Fatsan carefully picked and selected, and finally selected a large piece of shade wood and two yew trees.
This shade is buried in the ancient riverbed thousands of years ago because of the natural change, buried by the sediment, the color is black and the texture is solid, the texture is fine, there was a saying in the Bashu area, "find the ebony side, win a box of jewelry", this thing suppresses evil and eliminates evil, is an excellent item to sacrifice to the gods, is used to carve into a card, and is born with the effect of driving away evil spirits.
The yew wood is a rare endangered plant left after the glacier in the fourth century, the wood is fine, bright red, tough and durable, and the paclitaxel contained in it is the best known anti-cancer drug.
This thing not only has a miraculous effect on anti-cancer, but if it can be carved and shaped, worn on the body, it is appropriate to dispel diseases and drive away evil spirits, and prolong life.
Hearing Qu Fatsan talking endlessly beside him, Uncle Qin, the old housekeeper who was a little sluggish, couldn't help but be in awe, and said Little friend, your knowledge, even if you are an old craftsman who has been immersed in this way for most of your life, you may not be able to compare?
Qu Fatsan smiled indifferently and said that these are the basis of things, if you don't understand, what kind of tools are you talking about?
Uncle Qin saw that Qu Fatsan had finished it, and asked if he needed some? The second lady has instructed, if there is any need, just take it.
Qu Fatsan shook his head, pointed to the two large lumps of wood, and said that these are enough for us to work for a while - by the way, I still have some materials, cinnabar, ink fountain, incense ash or something, I bother to help prepare some and send them to our room.
Uncle Qin said that if it is a talisman or something, we have a thousand years of cuttlefish bile here, which is very suitable for the guidance of the Qi field, do you need to get a little?
Qu Fatsan nodded, and said that if there is any surplus, get some.
After being so busy, Qu Fatsan said that these materials, how much are needed in total, and report them to me truthfully.
Uncle Qin said that the second lady ordered to come over, if you really want to give it, then just watch it.
Qu Fatsan said that there is no reason to do business, you quote a price, what is it that I am afraid that I will not be able to pay?
Uncle Qin didn't insist with him, saying that since this is the case, this should be an item, just give a three-diamond shell.
Qu Fatsan took out the money bag from his pocket, counted it, and said that I only have more than one diamond here, so I owe it first, and then I will make money here and return it to you.
Uncle Qin doesn't care about this, it's okay to say so.
After returning to the room and sending away the housekeeper Uncle Qin, Qu Fatsan immediately began to pick up the free paper and pen on the desk and assigned me a task, first of all, to make the square shade of the sunken wood into a six-sided pagoda, the shape of the pagoda and the appearance of each side, he sketched it to me on white paper, and as for the yew wood, it was broken down into more than 20 wooden signs.
This wooden sign doesn't need to be big, it's about the same as an ordinary Apple phone, and that's it.
It doesn't matter if it's a little thinner.
As for the relevant shapes and the position of the blank space, he also used white paper to draw for me one after another, expressing it clearly.
He was so serious when he did this, and he swore not to give up if he didn't make money.
I had been busy all afternoon, just decomposing the wood, and then making embryos, it was a good thing to fiddle with the tools that Nannan gave me, exhausted, and finally completed the prototype, just wanted to rest, Qu Fatsan was like an evil capitalist, constantly urging me, so that I was about to cry.
I had to grit my teeth and endure it, getting the first pagoda and the first wooden plaque out in advance to find something for him to do, while the rest of the work was done slowly.
Qu Fatsan got the semi-finished product, and began to concentrate on carving, engraving talismans and opening the light, and he was very busy.
Before I knew it, it was getting dark, if Luo Xiaobei hadn't broken into our house to call us, it was estimated that Qu Fat and I would have been busy until dawn without sleep.
Luo Xiaobei came to ask us to eat, and Lin Xi and Yu Zhen also called together, as for Lao Peng, he was bedridden, so he didn't accompany him.
After she broke into it, she saw the finished product completed by Qu Fatsan, a shaded wooden pagoda, and a yew wood plaque, which was very amazing, and she had to take it for herself.
She didn't say about robbery, she just said to buy, how much it was, just set a price.
Qu Fatsan was helpless and said that it would be worth the previous material money.
Luo Xiaobei took these two things, very happy, and then invited everyone to go to the front hall of their house to eat, this little girl is very enthusiastic, but I feel that except for the heartless Qu Fat San, everyone is a little nervous, especially Lin Xi, she has been muffled and doesn't speak, and she doesn't know what she is thinking.
I remembered that when I met tonight, I had to beg Luo Xiaobei's mother to help Lin Xi enter the Blood Lotus Pond of Biyou Palace, and I cheered up.
When I came to the designated restaurant, I found that the people had not yet arrived, but all kinds of dishes were served one after another.
The restaurant is very luxurious, decorated with a very lively atmosphere, and has the charm of the ancient official family, and we have just entered the hall here, and there are footsteps on the other side, we look up, but we see a beautiful woman in the palace surrounded by two stunning maids and an old mother, into the hall.
The beautiful woman in the palace costume has bright eyes and bright teeth, she is really a fairy figure, and looking at that age, I feel that she is in her thirties, and she is in her prime.
However, when Luo Xiaobei saw it, he greeted him and shouted: "Mother......"
Belch?
I felt some sweat on my forehead, and I really wanted to pull Luo Xiaobei's arm and ask, are you sure this woman is your mother Wang Xinfeng, not your sister?
Why do you look so young?
But then Luo Xiaobei's introduction completely convinced me, and I don't know what kind of anti-beauty recipe this woman used, which can make youth last forever.
After Luo Xiaobei introduced her mother, she introduced us to her mother, the beautiful woman in the palace was generous, smiling slightly, making people feel like a spring breeze, and when Luo Xiaobei introduced Lin Xi, her eyebrows raised and said: "Xiaoxi, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I didn't expect the eighteenth female college to change, and the more beautiful it becomesβby the way, your mother's health is okay?" β
Yes?
Her question made me a little stunned for a while, I didn't expect Luo Xiaobei's mother to know Lin Xi?
And the two are still world friends?
Why didn't Lin Xi talk earlier, and he didn't seem to know Luo Xiaobei?
My mind was a little confused, and at this time Wang Xinfeng explained two sentences, only then did I know that she used to be friends with Lin Xi's mother, but unfortunately they were separated later, and the world was separated, so they gradually became estranged.
With this relationship, I naturally took the opportunity to bring up the matter of Lin Xi going to the Blood Lotus Pond, and Wang Xinfeng asked, "Are you looking for your sister?" β
Lin Xi was a little restrained, nodded and said yes.
Wang Xinfeng took care of everything, saying that this matter is on me, no matter what, I will find a way to let you go to the Blood Lotus Pond.
Then there was a chat while eating, Luo Xiaobei's chef at home is indeed more delicious than Diaoyutai, the most important thing is that the ingredients are better, Qu Fatsan ate without regard to the image, and Luo Xiaobei's mother did not snub me, chatted with me about the wasteland, and expressed her gratitude.
After chatting like this for a while, Wang Xinfeng suddenly said to Luo Xiaobei: "You go to the palace tomorrow to pick up your sister." β
Yes?
Is Luo Feiyu also on this Penglai Island?
