It seems that Catherine has a deep grudge against the "pediatric" evaluation, and refuses to admit defeat, and now she has finally seized an opportunity to give him a problem.

Hum! Let you see how much connotation the so-called pediatrics has, although this pocket watch is not her work.

Cen Mu took the pocket watch with body temperature, unconsciously held it gently, rubbed it in his hand, he smiled in return, and asked, "Do you have any tools?" ”

Catherine pulled out a small box from the side of the counter and threw it in front of him.

Then, Cen Mu moved to a table in the inner hall and sat down, at this moment, Cen Mu had already abandoned the distracting thoughts in his mind and entered the state of work, and he only had this pocket watch in his eyes.

It is a steampunk pocket watch, bronze, the case is as smooth as new, it looks very well maintained, and the back of the watch is engraved with the face of a wonderful woman, which at first glance looks a little like Catherine.

Catherine regretted the moment she handed over the pocket watch, regretting taking it out for the exam, this is her mother's relic, it is very precious on weekdays, the ghost makes the gods, in this scene, take it out, are you mad?!

If he dares to break it, he must make him look good!

After Cen Mu started to move, Catherine said indifferently: "It's time to start timers." ”

Cen Mu opened the back case of the watch and saw large and small gears, precisely combined, the smallest gear was less than one-tenth of the size of the little nail, delicate and fragile.

Cen Mu exhaled softly, to be honest, he was completely unfamiliar with clock repair, he didn't know its history, and he didn't know its structure, but the big words were blown out, and he had to be responsible for it, and he had a headache!

If Catherine knew his state of mind at the moment, she would have been so angry that she wanted to kill him.

Cen Mu relied on his brain, and he was invincible so far, even stronger than the perceptual field that crisscrossed the wilderness back then.

Not knowing the structure inside, he was slow at first, fearing that any irregular practices would destroy its structure, and judging by Catherine's degree of caution, he felt that it might be something very important.

Removing the protective shell of the inner core, all the delicate gears - exposed to Cen Mu's field of vision, Cen Mu encountered the first and perhaps the biggest difficulty.

Cen Mu stopped, his mind spinning rapidly, trying to parse its structure......

In fact, the structure of a pocket watch is not too complicated, because its functions are limited, and it is impossible for designers to put useless parts into it and increase its complexity out of thin air, so the general pocket watch only has more than a hundred parts, and a little more complex may be multiplied several times.

For example, one of the most complex gold pocket watches in the old era, the Patek Philippe brand, with Westminster chimes, can not only display the time, but also include the perpetual calendar, sidereal time, moon waxing and waning, sunrise and sunset time, and other functions, the watchmaker spent five years to create, and more than 900 parts were used.

The number of parts for a pocket watch like this one is probably about 400.

Compared with the tens of thousands of parts of the mecha, it can actually be regarded as pediatric, but they are slightly different, it is not easy to compare, the difficulty of the pocket watch is that the parts are tiny, in a limited space, extremely dense, if there is no very rich experience, or super memory, it is almost an impossible task to complete, not to mention half an hour, even a few days may not be good.

Time passed little by little, and fifteen minutes had passed unconsciously, and Cen Mu had only removed the shell of the inner core, and he was a little helpless in the face of such a delicate and complex structure.

A thrill of revenge welled up in Catherine's heart, yes! It's cool! Now it's almost certain that he's going to lose, and even if he can dismantle the pocket watch, there's not enough time to assemble it.

Failed! Admitting defeat early, retracting his previous wild words, he could let him go generously, Catherine was waiting for Cen Mu to bow his head and admit his mistake.

Suddenly, Cen Mu began to move, and at the moment he started, the model of the entire inner core structure was completed in his mind, and his hands were very flexible, fast! Soon!

In the blink of an eye, dozens of tiny parts have been discharged from the tabletop.

Catherine's heart suddenly welled up with a feeling of worry, and now she took the watch open, in case he didn't install it properly, she might be helpless, so she could only ask her father for help, and inevitably she would be scolded.

……

In just five minutes, the watch was broken up into tiny parts and covered a two-square-meter table.

The shopkeeper and the rest of the men stood far away, and they didn't want to suffer Catherine's wrath because of some trouble, and they lost two parts, which is called "a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall", a wise choice.

Cen Mu spread his hands and said, "There are 478 parts in total, right?" The first step is complete. ”

Catherine couldn't see an expression on her face, and she nodded, "That's right! I remind you that your time is running out! There are about eight minutes left, but ...... If you're not sure, slow down, slow down, it's okay to extend the time a little, as long as it's fully functional, I'll count you as a win. ”

Cen Mu smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I won't break it, pediatrics!" ”

Catherine's teeth itched with anger.

Then, Cen Mu began to assemble, and the speed was also very fast, which was a little dazzling to see.

The shopkeeper was speechless, he thought that this guy was a liar who was blowing nonsense, but he didn't expect that there were really a few brushes, but fortunately, the owner was here, and he had nothing to do today.

The shopkeeper patted Ah San next to him on the shoulder, startling the latter, and the shopkeeper said, "Ah San, you kid is very lucky." ”

Ah San smiled and didn't dare to say anything.

After a moment of effort, a golden pocket watch was assembled, Cen Mu swept his hands on the table, and said, "Oh! There were no more parts, no less, and the time was just right, it took twenty-nine minutes. ”

Catherine took the pocket watch, wound it for a while, and saw that the hands began to move smoothly, and she breathed a sigh of relief, she looked at Cen Mu with a complicated expression, and said, "You won!" ”

As she spoke, she turned her head to the shopkeeper on the side and said, "Xu Cai, you talk to him about work, don't raise the salary, and do whatever you want." ”

Cen Mu looked at her departing back and said loudly: "Boss, call me a call, just leave like this, and don't say anything?!" Isn't it so cool? ”

Catherine didn't look back, just a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, and she walked in style.

Qi Mang gave Cen Mu a thumbs up and praised: "Mr. Cen, you are the most amazing and versatile man I have ever seen!" Not one of them! It's just cool! ”

Cen Mu smiled in return.

Qi Mang said to the staff around him: "Elder Qi, let's continue to take stock!" ”

Xu Cai sat opposite Cen Mu, sighed slightly, and said, "Come on!" Let's talk, what does Mr. Cen think, just say, I try my best to be satisfied, you also listened to the boss, in addition to the salary, I can't let go, other requirements are easy to say. ”

Cen Mu thought for a while and said, "The working time is uncertain, because I have to go to another job, in short, I will set the working time, and you can contact me if you have a list." ”

Ooh! The first request made Xu Cai a little embarrassed.

Xu Cai smiled and said, "Mr. Cen, why are you so busy? Just now, the boss also said, you are not bad for money! ”

Cen Mu replied: "I am new here, I want to make a few more friends, so I will work harder in front, my other job is to be a mercenary, you should understand my thoughts!" ”

"Oh! I know! Xu Cai paused and asked, "Then how do you take this job?" You're often away from the store, customers come and go, how is your business doing? ”

Cen Mu groaned: "Then let them make an appointment first!" Guests do not have to be positioned at the high-end, I personally do not pay much attention to the income, the important thing is to choose some people with better character and strong ability, this kind of people are preferred. ”

Xu Cai's eyes widened and asked, "Mr. Cen, how did I know the character of a guest?!" You don't make such an inappropriate request, okay! ”

Cen Mu sneered: "It's best to be able to do this, my purpose is to be famous, do you know?" The word of mouth of these people will bring me a lot of fame! So, you can exaggerate a little bit when you advertise, even if you brag that I'm the strongest mechanic in Bounty Town! It doesn't matter, I do deserve this review! ”

Xu Cai wiped the sweat on his head and said, "Okay, I understand, does Mr. Cen have any other requirements?" ”

Cen Mu thought for a while and said: "I'll set the price with the guests, depending on my mood, if it's divided, you are three and I are seven, do you have any objections?" This way you don't need to take any risks. ”

Xu Cai wiped the sweat on his head again and said, "Eh! This is a bit different from my idea, I originally wanted to set the repair price by me, pay you a fixed salary every month, and set a monthly performance reward, more than how much sales, give a certain percentage of the bonus, now this seems to be a bit against my boss's requirements, I dare not make my own decisions. ”

Cen Mu smiled: "Bluff you!" You can set the asking price, but I will reserve two rights: first, I can refuse to serve those whom I dislike; Second, if I think it's cool, I can give him a free order. ”

Business is most afraid of this emotional regulation, the cost cannot be estimated at all, the benefits cannot be controlled, and Xu Cai's head at the moment is also a big one.

He sighed and said, "Whatever you want! But if you use parts from our store, I still have to charge for it, and I can't let the small store lose money. ”

I have to say that Xu is a talent, and his brain turns fast, as long as he gets stuck on this, the store doesn't take much risk, he talked to Cen Mu so much, and the biggest feeling is that this person is more casual.

It is an iron law that casual people do not do business well.

Therefore, he is not optimistic about Cen Mu's entry into the store, how much benefit he can bring to the store, and he should sell it to the boss as a favor! After all, this person is a fierce man recognized by the boss!

Xu Cai asked, "Does Mr. Cen have any other requirements?" Do you want me to provide staff dormitories? ”

Cen Mu has a lot of secrets, and he needs to communicate with the three major towns, so it is better to find a place with privacy, the hotel he lives in now is the highest-grade hotel in Bounty Town, and in terms of service, it has the characteristics of a federal hotel chain, and it is more professional.

Cen Mu shook his head and said, "No need, I have booked a single room in the 'International Style', if you want to find me, just report my name." ”

Xu Cai scolded his mother in his heart,! What a sass! That's enough money to pay for the room in a month! While saying that the money is not bad, I came to work on the other hand, and I don't know what happened to my brain?

scolded in his heart, Xu Cai still had to respond, and said, "Hmm! That's pretty easy to find, so it's decided, and I'll draw up a contract later, and we'll sign it, and we'll get things done. ”

"Okay."
