Chapter 373: This One and Only Gift

"I don't need a gift, if you can come back, it's my gift."

"The small mouth has a very high honey content, which I highly recognize." On Zhao Chuanxin's palm, there was suddenly an extra piece of peridot the size of a baby's fist: "I cut this and give it to you." ”

It was the olivine that the son of the volcano, Kirch, gave him.

Not to mention Wilhelmina, even the jeweler couldn't help but look up.

He lifted his reading glasses: "Buying cakes, this is peridot?" ”

He had never seen peridot this large.

Wilhelmina was surprised: "Oh my God, it's too big! ”

Peridot may not be as precious as diamonds and ruby sapphires, but it is more precious than the former.

Scarcity is expensive.

Zhao Chuanxin sat on a chair, took out a pen and paper, and drew a design drawing.

Wilhelmina remembered that Zhao Chuanxin had told her that the secret to maintaining love was freshness.

Unexpectedly, on the occasion of her birthday, Zhao Chuanxin played another trick.

He also knows how to make jewelry?

At this time, craftsmen were no longer discriminated against internationally.

Unlike in the past, merchants, hawkers, day laborers, craftsmen, dervishes, and pilgrims represented a floating group, and the middle and upper classes regarded them as blind wanderers, responsible only for delivering orders from the nobles.

Around the same time, the French Revolution and the British Industrial Revolution were the explosion points at which the world became the moral explode it is today, and by 1848 all the land that the Western government and merchants thought was useful to them was occupied, and there was no hindrance.

Since then, the social structure has changed, and now the craftsmen are generally the middle class who are small and prosperous.

At first, the jeweler didn't think about it, after all, he had been in this business for many years and had honed his skills all his life.

But for the sake of the huge peridot, I paid more attention to Zhao Chuanxin, and closely watched him draw.

Seeing that there were several sets on the drawings that he had never seen before, the jeweler was stunned, and he reminded: "Young man, your idea is good and creative, but such difficulty requires extremely skillful craftsmanship." ”

There's a lot of "can you do it?" No, I'll come".

Wilhelmina saw that Zhao Chuanxin just drew a brooch in the shape of a palm leaf, although it was gorgeous, but she didn't realize how complicated it was.

But when the jeweler said it, he realized that it seemed simple, but in fact it was difficult.

Zhao Chuanxin sighed: "Obviously, I am the kind of genius who can't help me." ”

When the jeweler heard this, he was not pleased.

Craftsmanship, sweat is greater than talent, what is the braggadocio to brag about?

He was silent, ready to see Zhao Chuanxin's joke.

After drawing the drawings, Zhao Chuanxin took out a piece of platinum.

He used an elven carving knife to cut out a layer, and he didn't type on it, but carved it directly.

The jeweler's eyes widened as he watched the white gold crumbs fly.

For the first time, and probably the last time in my life, I have seen someone handle precious metals in this way.

The general shape is very simple, don't look at the platinum hard, but in front of the elf carving knife, they are all younger brothers, and Zhao Chuanxin will be carved and formed after three times five divided by two.

The difficulty is the details of the inlay grooves, there are retro column inlays, there are tension inlays that can only be inlaid with hard stones, tooth nail inlays, group inlays, micro-inlays......

The variation of the setting groove is arranged according to the size of the gemstone to be embellished on the palm fronds.

seems simple, Zhao Chuanxin is actually showing off his skills.

Other than that, there's nothing else that can be done.

In the past, if he made a carcass, he used the lost wax method.

With the Elven Knife and a lot of precious metals, it doesn't need to be that hard.

The jeweler asked, "What kind of knife are you?" Is it my eyes, I think ......"

Zhao Chuanxin interrupted him: "Yes, your eyes are spent." ”

"Forehead ......"

The front is okay, after all, the inlay groove is huge, and the further back it is, the more difficult it becomes, and Zhao Chuanxin's forehead began to sweat.

Wilhelmina took out a silk handkerchief, wiped him carefully, and kissed him on the forehead after finishing.

Zhao Chuanxin had no distractions, as if he didn't realize it.

Looking at it from this angle, Wilhelmina has found a new point of view.

Seriously Men ......

Zhao Chuanxin felt that the time was a bit long, so he took out his pocket watch and put it next to him so that he could observe the passage of time.

How strong is the Elf Carving Knife?

He didn't have to shake his wrists, he relied on his consciousness to manipulate the blade, and if it weren't for his eyes, he would almost have a slot a second.

When he arrived at the micro-inlay, Zhao Chuanxin wiped his tears and put on devil crystal glasses.

There is no microscope, but there is equipment.

It took an hour to complete, and Zhao Chuanxin felt that it was long and very dissatisfied.

The jeweler, on the other hand, feels that it is incredibly fast, this is no longer a hand, this is a machine.

Zhao Chuanxin began cutting peridot, which was also time-consuming.

But in the eyes of jewelers, that knife is simply a peerless weapon.

He had never seen a gemstone faceted without polishing and cuttingβ€”heart-shaped, olive-shaped, pear-shaped, triangular, half-olive, trapezoidal, cambered, mixed, and even alien-shaped......

Unlike orthodox jewelers, Zhao Chuanxin does not intend to use leftovers at all, so when cutting, he does not care about the cost.

Seeing that the leftovers that could still be used with more brains were abandoned by Zhao Chuanxin, the jeweler couldn't help but point out: "Young man, this is too wasteful, this will ruin the family property, I am very worried about your future......"

Zhao Chuanxin didn't raise his head: "I have tens of millions of dollars at home, several sets of estates, what are you worried about?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Bragging, keep bragging......

Zhao Chuanxin said again: "It's not good, my daughter-in-law still has a country as a dowry, I don't want to know, right? ”

Why don't you go to heaven?

"Oh, young man, do you think I'll believe it?"

"Believe it or not, don't delay me from living on a 400-acre estate, eating a thousand-dollar meal, and sleeping with the most noble and beautiful woman in the world?"

"You are too arrogant, first of all, wealth does not make you have everything."

"Yes, wealth has given me the pleasures of a beautiful wife, but at the same time, it has also made me lose all my troubles."

"You ......"

Wilhelmina smiled and bent over.

This man is really ...... From high-ranking officials and nobles to peddlers and pawns, he has never lost a fight.

While speaking, Zhao Chuanxin was not idle, placing the diamonds in the setting groove one by one, taking the jeweler's clamps and hammers and other tools, knocking and beating, and began to fix the bite.

The most awesome thing about this piece of jewelry is not how expensive the materials are, but that the process is extremely cumbersome and complex, and the difficulty is extremely high.

The carcass of palm leaves is densely packed with large and small peridots.

From the outward teeth of the palm leaves, to every vein, and even on the tip of the leaf, there is a small gem that is almost impossible to see with the naked eye.

This step, on the contrary, takes the longest because it is impossible to use the Elven Carving Knife.

Fortunately, since practicing balancing, Zhao Chuanxin's control of strength has been wonderful.

He patiently knocked out dozens of inlay grooves.

Looking at the time, it turned out that two and a half hours had passed.

In the case of an ordinary jeweler, the process can be long and drowsy.

But Zhao Chuanxin's operation, it was like an accelerated video, and William Minna actually saw the end.

After it was done, Zhao Chuanxin pinched the brooch, and as the brooch turned on the tip of his fingers, Wilhelmina saw a bright light.

"Unique in the world, this is the only one, dedicated to Your Majesty."

Touched!

In addition to Zhao Chuanxin, which man in the world would give her such a gift?

Those who have that identity, those who have been incorporated into her eyes, do not have this craft: those who have this craft, but none of them deserve it.

Look, Captain Zhao inherited the peerless learning of the saint - Pan Xian Deng Little Donkey, and created a precedent for new methods of taking his sister.

William Minna couldn't suppress her excitement, and gave Zhao Chuanxin a long kiss in front of the jeweler.

In the end, it was the jeweler's awkward cough that interrupted the spell.

Wilhelmina was embarrassed, panting and sneakily watching left and right, no outsiders were reassured.

Zhao Chuanxin's face was not red or breathless, and he took the large piece of peridot left on the table into his bag, and the crumbs were gone, so he took William Minna away.

The jeweler felt that he was still unsatisfied, and shouted, "Young man, why don't you leave a contact information?" ”

Zhao Chuanxin had many methods that he had never seen before.

Doesn't that make him itch?

At this time, there was no camera, and the craft only relied on observation, which was difficult to remember.

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "The lonely shadow of the cold river, the old people in the rivers and lakes, why should we have known each other when we meet." ”

When he arrived at the front hall, Zhao Chuanxin was stunned.

Grenville Harper is still there.

His face was full of anxiety and impatience, and when he saw Wilhelmina coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward: "Lady Maria, you have finally come out." ”

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the time, it was almost lunchtime.

He said, "Good dogs don't get in the way. ”

"How do you curse?" Grenville Harper was furious.

"You're buzzing in front of me like a fly, and I warn you not to step within three meters of me."

"I didn't talk to you."

Zhao Chuanxin had an extra salvation scepter in his hand and pointed at him: "Don't be unpredictable. ”

Grenville Harper was afraid of being beaten and had no choice but to retreat.

This man is not easy to mess with at first glance.

I just don't understand, why is Lady Mary always with him, and what is their relationship?

He didn't want to believe that the beautiful and noble Wilhelmina would have a relationship with such a vulgar person.

Out of the door, Wilhelmina adored: "You are so powerful, the old jewelers are all impressed by you." ”

"Your Majesty, we have to keep a low profile, our husband is a versatile man, haven't you seen all the nights during this time?" Zhao Chuanxin smiled and whispered, and asked again, "What do you want to eat?" ”

Wilhelmina's face flushed slightly, she had seen too much.

Big eyes rolled: "Let's cook and eat by ourselves like we did in the wolf's den." ”

Zhao Chuanxin pondered for a moment, tugged at her arm and said, "Let's go to the cake shop over there first and bring your cake." Then, I'll take you to the beach. ”

Behind, five meters away, Grenville Harper saw the intimate actions of Zhao Chuanxin and William Minna, and the jealousy sprouted, so sour snot and tears.

Entering the cake shop, Zhao Chuanxin asked: "Do you support birthday cakes with custom patterns?" ”

The clerk shook his head: "We have ready-made styles sir." ”

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll come in person!" ”

Wilhelmina: "......"
