Chapter 27: Peach Blossom Lane
The young man embarrassedly slipped into the crowd, and at the same time recognized Liu Hong, who had fallen off the horse. Liu Hong didn't study folding charms in Baicaotang, what are you doing here? He decided to secretly follow Liu Hong to see what was going on.
Liu Hong saw the signboard of the weaving workshop, and at the same time saw Qi Yunxiang holding a one-foot-square black cloth bag in his hand, standing at the door waiting for him. But her face was calm, and her out-of-character expression when she didn't see the handsome guy made Liu Hong feel a little lost in his heart.
"I'm waiting for you here because there are some things that can't be explained clearly with the lampburner. The Qiankun bag made of silk processed by you has indeed achieved the effect of ten to one, but the Qiankun bag is sewn with silk thread, and the Qiankun bag made by ourselves has a standard, and the weight inside cannot exceed 20 catties. ”
"So, it's really hard to say how many catties your Qiankun bag can hold, so you can only wait for yourself to test it. ”
Qi Yunxiang's explanation made Liu Hong's face appear a momentary loss, and soon he figured it out again, even if it was really successful, could it be produced on a large scale? Making one had already cost him 20 yuan stones, and there was still more than one night, and the cost was terrifying.
"It doesn't matter, keep moving forward in failure to catch the last train to success. Let's first verify how much weight it can actually hold. ”
Liu Hong took the Qiankun bag in her hand, tore open the strap at the mouth of the bag, and put his hand in. The hand that entered the Qiankun bag became very small, and the effect was estimated to be 10 to 1. He took out his hand and looked around the weaving workshop, and found that there were two stones on the right side of the door number for the guests to tie their horses, which together exceeded 100 catties.
"In this way, shopkeeper Qi, you take this Qiankun bag, open the mouth of the bag, and put it close to the ground. I put those two stones in and tried them out. ”
According to Liu Hong, they quickly put the two bolted horse stones into the Qiankun bag. Liu Hong asked Qi Yunxiang to stand aside a little and gently lifted the bag off the ground. Soon the sound of two stones falling to the ground was heard.
"Although the effect of 10 to 1 has been achieved, the cost is too high, and it still needs to be improved. Can I visit your weaving workshop now?"
Liu Hong kicked the two stones back into place with both feet, and when Qi Yunxiang led him into the gate of the weaving workshop, he quietly threw the Qiankun bag with the broken bottom of the bag on the ground. Because he found the young man who had been following him here.
.................................
The Ming Scholar, who only completed two services this morning, seemed to have picked up a life-saving straw. He was still thinking about Liu Hong's words just now with the Qiankun bag in his hand, the effect of ten to one has been achieved, this news and this physical object handed over to his master Vice President Xu, today's task can definitely be reduced.
"Be sure to sew the bottom of the bag and hand it over to the master, otherwise there is no way to test it on site. ”
He patted the dust off the bag, straightened it out and folded it a few times, and put it into his cuffs. After glancing at it, he noticed that no one was paying attention to him, and walked towards the exit of Peach Blossom Lane.
....................
On the walls of the weaving workshop are various styles of women's dresses, such as curtains, straight necked backs, long skirts with crossed collars... There are also two counters on the left side of the entrance to the inner courtyard, which are the jewelry counter and the jewelry counter. Their exclusive Qiankun bags are displayed in the jewelry counter.
There is no corridor in the inner courtyard of the weaving workshop, so I went out of the small door and turned left and entered the living room without walking a few steps. Liu Hong's mind was still stuck in the pink color that he had just seen in the inner courtyard, what he didn't expect was that the windows in the living room were all propped up, and he could be sure through the windows that it was a peach blossom forest that was blooming.
"The peach blossoms are falling and raining, and the graceful dancing posture is intoxicating, and I want to ask where I am going, and I can't bear to disturb the soul of the fragrance. ”
Under a peach tree, Qi Guhong's figure danced among the falling peach blossom petals. With a sword in one hand and a wine bottle in the other, he seemed to stumble, but each time he landed on the ground, he did not step on the petals on the ground. With a slight swing of his sword in his right hand, each petal he took with him would fall into a bamboo basket placed not far away.
"My brother is a drunkard, and he's now collecting flower petals to make peach blossom stuff. Are you curious why the peach blossoms in the backyard of the weaving workshop are still blooming? That's because my brother buried a piece of soul-nourishing jade under each peach tree. ”
When Qi Yunxiang explained, Liu Hong was still immersed in this beautiful scenery. The maid who came in to pour tea interjected: "It is very inaccurate for the young lady to say that the young master is crazy with alcohol, and you directly say that he is a drunken maniac." I remember one time when he was so drunk that I tried to drive him back to the house with a stick but without success, I spent the whole night in the yard. ”
Liu Hong, who had just come back to his senses, only heard the three words of soul nourishing jade clearly, and it was very desirable to be able to keep the treasure of spring. So after sitting down, he asked, "It's the first time I've heard of this magic weapon, can Shopkeeper Qi introduce me to its special features?"
Qi Yunxiang glared at the maid who was pouring the tea with his eyes and told him that the soul nourishing jade was white and flawless, warm in winter and cool in summer. A large piece of soul-nourishing jade can keep people's body functions from degrading, delay the body's metabolism, reconcile yin and yang, and keep people clear-headed, which is a natural magic weapon for nourishing the body and protecting the gods.
"My brother inherited the tradition of the family's loser, and knocked a large piece of soul nourishing jade into pieces and buried it under the peach tree. It is better to keep the spring for the time being, than to keep it in the bottom of my heart forever. ”
"Where he wants to keep spring, he just wants to make more peach blossoms every year. Drunk and singing every day, putting all the burden of life on the young lady, do you think he still looks like a man?" The maid who had just gone out came back with a plate of golden snacks in her hand.
...................
All the personal maids of the young lady are playmates who have grown up with her since childhood, and many times they will become neither big nor small. However, in the tone of the reprimand of this maid named Chun Tao, there are expectations and fantasies...
Liu Hong smiled without saying a word, pinched a snack and put it in his mouth, from crispy to soft and glutinous, and finally there was a trace of sticky teeth, the taste was layered, and the tongue could lick a trace of sweetness. What exactly is this delicacy made of?
"The silkworm is able to produce two seasons each year, and each season is about 50 days. It's very unfortunate that you came, and the cocoons of the last season of autumn silkworms have all been processed. The snack you just tasted was a delicacy made from silkworm chrysalis, which was my brother's favorite drinker. ”
As Qi Yunxiang explained the growth and reproduction process of the autumn silkworm, it formed a sharp contrast with the peach blossoms outside the window. It is always a little sad to go through all the journeys in dozens of days of life and finally turn into a moth.
"The spring silkworm is dead to the end, and the wax pillar turns into gray tears and begins to dry. Could it be that the meaning of autumn silkworms is the meaning of autumn dead silkworms, and they will face death every autumn?" Liu Hong's expression was very excited, and he was about to grab Qi Yunxiang's little hand, and there was a loud singing outside the window.
"The peach blossom fairy in Peach Blossom Lane, the peach blossom sword under the peach blossom tree. The peach blossom fairy planted peach trees, and swept the petals to make wine sweet. Drunk only lie in front of the flower, wake up and pretend to be still sleeping....."
