Chapter 22: Reading glasses

"Something that will allow me to read normally?"

Hearing Qi Lin's words, Matteo Ricci's originally gentle and somewhat curious eyes immediately became very sharp.

Seeing the light in Ricci's eyes, Qi Lin continued to nod unmoved and said, "Yes, it's something that allows you to read normally." ”

Looking at Qi Lin's expression, the sharp scrutiny in Ricci's eyes slowly dissipated, and he regained his gentle expression: "What is it, can you take it out for me to see?"

"A pair of glasses, I call them reading glasses, you can try it!" As he spoke, Qi Lin quickly bought a pair of reading glasses from the Wanjie Supermarket.

Although according to the specification, the configuration of reading glasses also needs to check the power of the eyes, but compared with myopia glasses, even if you wear reading glasses with an incorrect power, it will not produce much discomfort, so many places do not need to go through the process of optometry when buying reading glasses.

Even before Qi Lin crossed, there were still many itinerant vendors selling reading glasses on the streets, and they could provide a pair of reading glasses with a moderate prescription as long as you needed them, regardless of the prescription of the person who bought them.

The reading glasses provided in Wanjie Supermarket belong to this type.

"Donghai crystal reading glasses: a beautiful name of inferior reading glasses, legend has it that its lenses are extremely strong, even an electric drill can not drill through, its frame is made of high-grade metal, even if a person stands on it will not be deformed; ”

Now Qi Lin has basically begun to ignore the speechless product introduction of Wanjie Supermarket, and the only thing that makes him satisfied is the price of these reading glasses - 10 yuan a pair.

After making a demonstration, Qi Lin directly handed the pair of East China Sea crystal reading glasses to Matteo Ricci.

Matteo Ricci did not take the pair of glasses immediately, but looked at the priest girl who had been standing beside them, and only after seeing the priest girl who was eating the big white free milk candy nodded imperceptibly, he took the reading glasses and put them on his face.

The quality of the so-called Tokai crystal reading glasses may not be very good, but to say that the appearance is definitely beautiful, the transparent lenses and the gold wire frame can add an elegant temperament to the wearer.

In particular, Matteo Ricci originally had a kind of gentleness and calmness unique to religious people, coupled with the foil of gold-rimmed glasses, it was even more of a kind of temperament that was full of poetry and books.

Of course, for Matteo Ricci, he didn't pay much attention to the change in appearance after putting on his glasses, he directly raised his hand to look at the palm print on his hand, and instantly his expression was a little more surprised and joyful.

It's been a long time since he'd seen his fingerprints so clearly since he found out that his eyes were gone, and apparently his eyesight has really improved after wearing these reading glasses.

"Wonderful things, it really works, I didn't expect a simple crystal and metal to work together to exert such a wonderful effect. Matteo Ricci took off his reading glasses and carefully put them in his pocket, praising him as he put them away.

Apparently Ricci had agreed to Zilin in exchange for the reading glasses for him to officiate two funerals.

For Matteo Ricci, not to mention presiding over two funerals, even if it is five or ten, as long as it can solve the problem of his eye vision, it is worth it, anyway, for him to preside over the funeral without any cost, at most it is a waste of time.

For Qi Lin, it is definitely a cost-effective thing to exchange a pair of glasses worth 10 yuan for two cemeteries and a funeral presided over by an official priest of the Holy Church, after all, according to the market price, it is impossible to invite an official priest like Matteo Ricci to preside over a funeral without ten or eight gold coins, and it still has to be related to be able to contact Pastor Matteo Ricci.

And now the problem has been solved with only ten silver coins and a pair of reading glasses, and it can only be said that Qi Lin has made a lot of money.

What Qi Lin didn't expect was that after Matteo Ricci said this, he hesitated and asked, "Do you still have such glasses?" If so, I want to buy a few more pairs, a pair of glasses for 20 gold coins. ”

Qi Lin's expression was not much surprised, and from the performance of other pastors who had just seen the reading, it could be seen that presbyopia was not uncommon among official pastors.

After all, they have similar living and working habits, and the person who can become a formal pastor must be not young, and it is normal to have presbyopia or something.

Of course, Qi Lin was still a little surprised by the priest's wealth, knowing that all the working capital of Bilodo's grain store was only sixteen or seventeen gold coins, and these priests could take out 20 gold coins just by buying glasses.

However, Qi Lin will not refuse this kind of lucrative business no matter what, 20 gold coins can be exchanged for 2,000 yuan of supermarket points, and the cost of reading glasses is only 10 yuan, which is already a profit of 20,000 yuan.

In an instant, Qi Lin's expression changed, his eyes lit up, and he quickly bought seven or eight pairs of eyes from the supermarket and said: "Yes, I have as many as you want, if you buy in large quantities, I can also offer a preferential price, 200 gold coins can sell you eleven pairs of glasses." ”

Seeing Qi Lin's performance, Matteo Ricci waved his hand and smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have to experiment with the effect of glasses for a long time, if the effect is really good, I will definitely recommend it to other priests." ”

Then he glanced at the priest girl standing next to him, and seeing that the sister didn't show anything special, he turned his head directly to Qi Lin and said, "Okay, you go and prepare for the funeral, I have time for the next week, and you can notify me at any time when you are ready." ”

Obviously, Matteo Ricci didn't want to stay any longer, and Qi Lin also said goodbye and left, but when he left, he glanced meaningfully at the happy pastor girl who was eating toffee.

Although Ricci's performance was subtle, Qi Lin still noticed that at some point, Ricci would consult young girls in advance when making decisions.

Thinking of this, Qi Lin thought of the fact that in the confessional room, the whole house suddenly brightened after the startled priest girl snapped her fingers, because there were too many various lighting devices on the earth, so Qi Lin instinctively took all this for granted, but now think about it carefully, in a place where there are only candles and torches, what is the way to instantly produce a bright and stable light source.

This girl is not simple.

This was the only conclusion that Qi Lin had reached, but it was not unexpected, after all, the fact that the Holy Sect could become an existence that could counter or even stabilize the power of the nobles was enough to show that they had the power to counter the powerful secular power of the nobles, and this power could only be some kind of transcendent power.

"The world is getting more and more fun!" Qi Lin glanced back at the still crowded Holy Church, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
