Every time I come home, my wife is making garbage

Chapter 166 Give you a suggestion

There were more than fifty dwarves, and each of them received a diamond carving knife.

Everyone, including their clan leader, moved in exactly the same way, holding the carving knife in both hands, their whole body trembling slightly.

This... this is diamond!

This is a treasure that only royal nobles are qualified to own.

Even ordinary nobles can’t afford it.

Now everyone has one.

If foreigners next door see this, they would think that everyone here is very rich.

Oric was extremely shocked and said, "Your Majesty, are you really giving this to us? Are you not lending it to us?"

Zhang Jingyi: "This cheap thing is still borrowed and lent. Doesn't it make me, a king, look shabby? Of course I will give it away as a gift."

Dwarves: "What a bargain!!! This is diamond!!!"

Zhang Jingyi spread his hands: "It's a bargain for me."

The dwarves: “…”

Well, the king before him gave each soldier a set of noble-grade plate armor and a dragon-slayer sword. He was so magnanimous that it was outrageous. Now, giving each of them a diamond carving knife did not seem so difficult to understand.

Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "Everyone, you are all top craftsmen, and I am very optimistic about you. I hope you will not be bound by tacky things like 'cost', but give full play to your imagination and creativity, and create what you want. For example, this clockwork carriage is a very good start, and I look forward to the results of your work."

Dwarves: "Ah! Cheers!"

Dwarves are really optimistic creatures. They became happy when they got the carving knife. They were immediately in high spirits. They clinked their glasses and started drinking again.

All I heard was Orrick shouting, "Listen to me, the king gave you this precious carving knife for you to use in your work. Don't sell it for beer. Do you hear me? If anyone trades a precious carving knife for beer, I will beat him to death."

Zhang Jingyi: "Fuck, how could they do such a thing?"

Orrick: "It can be done. It can definitely be done."

He thought that after saying this, Zhang Jingyi would take back the carving knife.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jingyi turned the backpack over and shook it downward with force. Hundreds of diamond carving knives fell out of the backpack and were scattered all over the floor, rolling around.

Zhang Jingyi said: "If you want to sell it and exchange it for wine, then sell it and exchange it for wine. Anyway, I still have plenty here."

The dwarves fell silent for a moment.

Zhang Jingyi grinned again: "But you have to be able to sell them. This tavern was opened with the beer I provided. The werewolves, guards, and catmen in the town are all my people. You want to sell the carving knives, but you can't find buyers. Apart from you, there are only a group of knives slaves in this town who can smelt and forge. No one else can use these carving knives."

The dwarves: “…”

That's a bit stiff! Well, if you work hard to buy wine, don't even think about exchanging your carving knife for wine.

However, the problem of the carving knife has been solved.

A new problem has arisen.

Early in the morning of the third day, Zhang Jingyi was giving the wolves an agricultural planting class.

Oakley suddenly strolled over to the side, looking like someone who wanted to talk but didn't want to be disturbed.

Zhang Jingyi nodded slightly at him and asked him to wait. After the class was over, he walked up to him and asked, "What's wrong? Did you encounter any difficulties?"

Oric nodded and said, "Your Majesty, enchanting requires gems, and you haven't got anyone to give us gems yet."

Zhang Jingyi thought to himself: Yes, they are just helping me with my work, providing only the technology, and I should be the one to prepare the raw materials. It is impossible for them to provide gems, and they cannot afford such a large amount of gems.

Zhang Jingyi did have a few gems in his hand.

The last time Elizabeth led her army to aid the dwarves and repel the kobolds, Orrick took out a bag of gems as a reward.

However, there are not many gems in this small bag, only about ten.

This won't enchant much!

Hundreds of sets of armor would require thousands of gems. Hundreds of swords would require thousands of gems. Even if you have a gem mine at home, you can't afford such consumption.

Not to mention he only had a small bag.

Zhang Jingyi took out the small bag from last time, opened it, and saw a dozen or so precious gems inside. These gems were only enough to enchant a few pieces of armor at most. If the attributes were distorted a few more times, those pieces would be in jeopardy.

Zhang Jingyi frowned: "It seems that gems are a big problem."

Orric: "Yes, if we don't find the gem soon, we won't be able to enchant the next armor and weapons."

Zhang Jingyi: "Let me think about it carefully."

The first person who came to his mind was Cai Xinzi.

He quickly returned to the present and called Cai Xinzi: "Old Cai! Are you still doing the jewelry recycling business?"

"I'm working on it!" Cai Xinzi said cheerfully, "You want to sell me more gems?"

"No, I want to buy gems this time."

"Ah?" Cai Xinzi was surprised: "You are going to change from a seller to a buyer? This change is a bit fast. Let me sort out my thoughts."

Zhang Jingyi laughed and scolded, "I brought the gemstone for some special purpose."

Cai Xinzi: "What other uses can gemstones have? Apart from viewing, I really don't know what other uses it has. However, you give me the impression of being a pragmatist. It seems that you are not willing to spend a lot of money just for viewing."

Zhang Jingyi: "Is it not okay for me to grind the gemstones into powder and use it to make cosmetics? Haven't you heard that women's cosmetics are added with ground gemstones into powder?"

Cai Xinzi: "Eh? This... isn't it just for viewing?"

Zhang Jingyi: "Fuck, I'm speechless."

Cai Xinzi smiled and said, "We are old friends. The wood and rubies you gave me have made me a lot of money. I don't want to cheat my brother and ruin our friendship. I'll give you a little advice. If you want to grind gemstones into powder to cause trouble, don't use natural gemstones. Wouldn't it be better to use artificial gemstones?"

"Artificial gemstones?" Zhang Jingyi had heard of something similar: "I've heard of artificial diamonds, which seem to be called moissanite or something like that. Are there other artificial gemstones?"

Cai Xinzi smiled, "Of course there are. Ruby, sapphire, topaz, emerald, whatever color you want, there are artificial ones. Moreover, the composition of artificial gemstones is almost the same as that of natural gemstones... They are just the arrangement and combination of carbon elements. Our human experts are very good at it. No matter what kind of gemstone it is, they can first figure out the arrangement and combination of elements, and then make artificial ones in minutes."

Zhang Jingyi: "Damn, you've opened up a new world for me. Let me guess, your store is filled with a lot of fake gemstones, which you use to fool customers at critical moments."

Cai Xinzi: "No, no, no! Professional businessmen are concerned about long-term benefits. I never fool customers. I will always tell them honestly that this ruby ​​is artificial, 1 carat, 50 yuan, do you want it? That's it!"

Zhang Jingyi: "Give me two of each of the 1-carat red, yellow, green and blue sapphires first, and I'll see if I can use them."
