Volume 3 City of Water Chapter 292 Design Drawings
Wang Huozi was also in a hurry, Zhou Nian had just cured Lian Meng and Gu Yan with his front foot, and his back foot followed closely, and the time for pinching was more accurate than that of the fortune teller.
"Hehe...... grinned, Wang Huozi put on his standard and unique smile, Le's nose bubbles were about to come out, and his face smiled like a chrysanthemum, "Master, won't let me enter the house and sit?"
Zhou Nian raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "The work is all arranged?"
"It's arranged, it's just done. Wang Huozi said with a big grin, tilting his head and glancing at Zhou Nian's house as he spoke, and said in his heart why didn't he let me into the house?
"Smack!"
With a few steps, Zhou Nian blocked his vision, suddenly walked out of the house, and closed the door with his hand, "Let's go, go to your house." ”
"Master, you are ......"
"I have guests in the house, so it's not easy to talk. ”
"Oh. Wang Huozi no longer insisted, and nodded meaningfully, "Understood, I understand, hehe......"
Zhou Nian frowned, he didn't know what Wang Huozi understood, and he was not interested in asking, so he simply followed him all the way to his room.
"Smack!"
Closing the door, Zhou Nian found a stool to sit down at random, while Wang Huozi walked to the tea table and began to pour tea and water for Zhou Nian.
"Mr. Wang, don't be busy, you can sit too. Stretching out his hand, Zhou Nian said politely.
"Oh. ”
nodded, and Wang Huozi sat next to the other party.
After being silent for a few seconds, Zhou Nian did not go straight to the topic as soon as he came up, because it would seem more abrupt, but took a step-by-step approach, cutting from shallow to deep.
Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Zhou Nian chuckled, "Hehe, Mr. Wang, let me ask casually, how long have you been working as craftsmen in the Wang family?"
"Hmm......" Wang Huozi pinched his chin and recalled seriously, and then said quietly, "Oh, but it's been a few years, I've been doing this since my grandfather's generation, and I've been doing it until now, to say the least, for more than 100 years." ”
"Oh, for more than 100 years, you are ......."
"Hehe, the family business, passed down from generation to generation. ”
"Oh, is it tiring to do this?" Zhou Nian began to cut in slowly.
Wang Huozi said in a long voice, "Hmm...... Scores, the project is not the same, the small work is idle, the big work is tired, really want to encounter the kind of extra-large project, the construction period is short, the master is strict, we can only get up earlier than the chicken, sleep later than the dog, tired like a grandson. ”
"Oh, what about the income?"
"Income?"
As soon as this word came out, Wang Huozi's brows couldn't help frowning, and he suddenly wondered in his heart, "Why is he suddenly so interested in the craftsman's business?"
Income is both face, when it comes to the issue of income, don't say that it is Wang Huozi who has no face and no skin, and anyone will feel a little sensitive and uncomfortable.
There was a slight displeasure in his heart, but Wang Huozi did not show it on his face, it is not appropriate to say that the specific income is big or small, after all, it is a bit ostentatious to say that it is big, and it will be embarrassing to say that it is small, and it will be looked down upon, so he simply opened his mouth and prevaricated, "It's okay, barely moisturized." ”
said that he was barely moisturized, that was his politeness, and in fact, he was a craftsman, and the huge profits in it were great.
And Zhou Nian didn't care about Wang Huozi's specific income at all, the reason why the parents knocked on the side for a short time was mainly to gradually infiltrate and ask the next sentence.
"Mr. Wang, since your craft is a family heirloom, and you think it is also well-known in the entire craftsman industry, then I take the liberty of asking, have you ever done engineering for those high-status families? For example, to build a house, build a side hall, build a garden, and so on?"
"Big family?" Wang Huozi stretched out his hand and grabbed his hair, he was also unsuspecting, and said frankly, "Yes, yes, but my generation can't do it, all I do is some small work of digging soil and picking ashes, it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance, my old man has taken over some big family projects, he was the number one person in the craftsman industry in our water city back then, and his reputation is well-known!"
Speaking of his father, Wang Huozi can be regarded as having something to show off, pouting his big mouth and stretching out his thumb to show off, and even speaking a lot louder than before.
"Then which big families did he work for?"
"Hmm...... I can't remember clearly, he has a book in his old man's hand, and he will record it every time he does it, but now he has been idle at home for several years, and I guess it will be difficult to find that book. ”
"The family inside, can't you remember any of them?" Zhou Nian didn't give up yet.
Wang Huozi squinted upwards and recalled seriously, and then muttered for a long time, "Hmm...... I'm not good at bookkeeping, I was still young when I looked at the old man's account, and I couldn't remember it clearly, but I only remembered a few of the more powerful ones. ”
"Which one?" Zhou Nian hurriedly asked, a hint of excitement on his face.
"I remember that there were two largest families at that time, one was the ancestral hall of the Zhang family in the City of Water, and the other was the Linglong Octagonal Pavilion where Lord Blood Cicada lived. ”
As soon as the word "Linglong Octagonal Pavilion!" came out, Zhou Nian's face changed dramatically, thanks to his strong psychological quality, he forcibly controlled it, so as not to slip in front of Wang Huozi.
And Wang Huozi, obviously didn't notice the strangeness on Zhou Nian's face, looked up at a place, pretended to be deep and held a shelf, and said with emotion, "Yes, it's the Linglong Octagonal Pavilion, I can't remember other places clearly, but this place, I still remember it vividly, because this is the biggest honor in my father's life, enough to leave it to future generations to show off, and when I meet people, I tell people that he has worked for Lord Blood Cicada, and his show is big, and he can talk about it eight hundred times a day, and my ears are almost calloused when I hear it." ”
"Hiss......" took a light breath, and the information that Zhou Nian wanted the most came.
Coughing with Wang Huozi is not a waste of time, if you want to investigate the personal information of some big people, you have to use a variety of means to break through his clothing, food, housing and transportation one by one, penetrating everywhere, and inserting needles at every turn, as long as he deals with people, he will inevitably reveal some little-known secrets!
People have a mouth, secrets are passed on to each other, and there is no impermeable wall under the sky!
Frowning tightly, Zhou Nian hesitated slightly, and then asked the most critical question, "Mr. Wang, you said that your father once built the Linglong Octagonal Pavilion for Lord Blood Cicada, so when it was built, there should have been design drawings, right?"
"Well...... Wang Huozi lowered his head and muttered for a moment, then raised his head and muttered, "There should be, but for any large-scale project, the first thing to prepare is the design drawings." ”
"That'...... Where's that blueprint now? Is it still in your father's possession?"
"It should be there, if you look carefully, you can probably find it. ”
"Can you let me take a look at that drawing?" Contrary to Wang Huozi's expectations, Zhou Nian suddenly said this.
"Huh?" Wang Huozi looked at Zhou Nian with a little curiosity, and said vigilantly out of instinct, "Master, why are you suddenly interested in drawing......s?" What do you want to do?"
Waving his hand, Zhou Nian naturally wouldn't say his purpose, and prevaricated, "I don't do anything, I'm just a little curious." ”
"Curious?" Wang Huozi felt more and more strange the more he thought about it, the other party was not a craftsman, he would be so interested in a drawing?
Besides, the matter involves some privacy of Lord Blood Cicada, and the stakes are very high, so Wang Huozi has to think about it.
"Is it okay?" Seeing Wang Huozi pondering, Zhou Nian hurriedly snatched the stubble, for fear that it would change later, so he was caught off guard first.
"This ......" Wang Huozi came back to his senses, and before he could think about what to say, he asked directly, which made him a surprise.
Zhou Nian looked at him calmly, even the other party was the master who didn't see the rabbit and didn't scatter the eagle, so he simply sold him some benefits, and chuckled, "Hehe, Mr. Wang, this matter shouldn't be difficult for you, and I won't let you do this favor in vain, otherwise, as long as you let me look at the drawings of the Linglong Octagonal Pavilion, I can help you regulate the problems on your face." ”
"Huh?" As soon as these words came out, Wang Huozi immediately grew his mouth, "Big ...... What do you say, Master?
"Hehe, don't you want to become a handsome guy, I can fulfill your dream. ”
"Hiss......"
gasped, Wang Huozi's eyes were about to glow green, and he tried his best to please the other party, for the purpose of becoming handsome!
is too longing, if Zhou Nian can really change his appearance and make him a little more handsome, Wang Huozi will probably wake up with a smile in his dreams.
With a clear mouth and a pockmarked face, these shortcomings have been with him since he was born, lingering, and they are simply the biggest stain on his "peak life"!
But now, Zhou Nian actually said that he wanted to help with conditioning, if this dream comes true, then Wang Huozi's life will be completely perfect!
People are creatures with pursuits, and the things they pursue are completely different, big or small, more and less, but Wang Huozi's only pursuit is to become handsome!
"You...... Are you serious?" the surprise came too suddenly, Wang Huozi couldn't believe it, and asked tentatively.
Zhou Nian said flatly, "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." ”
"Okay! very good!" Wang Huozi clapped his hands with joy, he is also a person who is brave and colorful, and can take big ideas, and immediately clapped his hand, "Deal! As long as the master can help me condition this face, the design of the exquisite octagonal pavilion, you can look at it casually, forget it, don't look at it casually, I will send it to you directly!"
"Send?"
"Yes, send it directly!, but I have to warn you in advance, the design of this exquisite octagonal pavilion involves Lord Blood Cicada, so you must not use it....."
"Hehe, Mr. Wang, please rest assured, I have my own measure. Zhou Nian waved his hand to interrupt, the words "own measure" were very meaningful, knowing what Wang Huozi was worried about, he simply said perfunctorily.
"Okay, well, since that's the case, then I thank the master for his understanding. ”
Wang Huozi was happy, and he was also very sure that Zhou Nian would not dare to use the design drawings to deal with Lord Blood Cicada, after all, the gap in strength between them was there, and he kindly reminded him that it was polite and polite.
Picking up the tea bowl, no matter how big the deal Wang Huozi is, he has never been as happy as today, drinking the tea, just like putting a filling mouth in his mouth, he didn't even spit out the tea leaves, he swallowed it directly, obviously crazy, "Hehe, master, when do you need it?"
Zhou Nian groaned slightly, "The sooner the better." ”
"Then I'll go home and look for it now?" Wang Huozi wished that the other party would do this as soon as possible, and wanted to become handsome, so he put down the tea bowl and stood up.
Zhou Nian said flatly, "I'm tired, Mr. Wang." ”
"Okay!"
Nodding heavily, Wang Huozile's fart ran out, went home, and looked for drawings.
