Planting a fairy in ancient times

Chapter 37 37. Forging Master

On a pear wood tray on the counter, there are four silver balls slightly larger than longan.The silver ball is hollow, and the outside is wrapped with silver wire. There are some empty gaps between the silver wire and the silver wire, which makes this silver ball look really cute and exquisite.

"Xiao Er, how do you sell this Linglong ball?" Chen Xiaoyu asked with a Linglong ball in his hand.

"One tael of silver each." Xiao Er said with a smile.

"Hiss~!" Chen Xiaoyu gasped, and quickly put the Linglong Ball back into the tray.

This exquisite ball feels light in the hand.According to Chen Xiaoyu's estimate, at most it cost only two renminbi of silver for raw materials.

Black~!Really dark~!

Fortunately, she thought the owner of this shop was simple!

Chen Xiaoyu pouted.

"Don't you like it, girl? This exquisite ball can be used as a hairpin, or hung around the waist as an embellishment, or hung on the front of the front as you like, with some incense powder inside, which is much more elegant than a sachet. Many people want to buy this one!" Seeing that Chen Xiaoyu didn't seem to want to buy it very much, Xiao Er hurriedly promoted it.

"The style is not bad, but it's a pity that it's so flimsy, it's not worth it at all." Chen Xiaoyu waved his hand.

The current Chen Xiaoyu is not short of money yet.

Therefore, Chen Xiaoyu bought jewelry today because of the four words "high cost performance".

Especially for Chen Xiaozhi, Chen Xiaoyu wanted to choose the one that was thick and heavy, in case Chen Xiaozhi was inconvenient in the future, he could get a few taels of silver when he took it to the pawnshop!
When jewelry enters the pawn shop, except for antiques, it is generally valued according to the weight of the raw material.

The Linglong Ball, which weighs two renminbi, can only be exchanged for two renminbi at most if it is taken to a pawn shop.

Therefore, Chen Xiaoyu really doesn't like Linglong Ball, which pays more attention to craft than material.

"My lady, even the ladies in Fucheng will send someone to buy my exquisite ball! Why is it not worth the money?" Xiaoer said unhappily.

"The material of your Linglong ball used up to two renminbi. If you sell me three renminbi, I can still consider it. Selling it for one tael? Why don't you go grab the money!" Chen Xiaoyu cast a contemptuous glance at the waiter.

"Miss, you are joking. The jewelry of our "Diancuifang" has always been innocent. Linglong balls are not sold for material money, but for rare craftsmanship." Xiaoer blushed, pointed to Linglong balls and explained:
"The silver thread on my Linglong ball was forged by a master craftsman. This kind of silver thread is extremely difficult to forge. Even a master can only forge a few Linglong ball silver threads in a day, so the crafting cost is very high. Of course it will be more expensive."

The meaning in Chen Xiaoyu's words is that their "Diancuifang" shop is bullying customers.Xiaoer has worked in "Diancuifang" for many years, so naturally he has to defend his employer.

"Ah? I see. You mean that the cost of craftsmanship is more expensive than the cost of materials, right?" Chen Xiaoyu suddenly realized.

However, Chen Xiaoyu felt contemptuous.

What shit master?This silver thread is as thick as four or five hairs combined.Wouldn't it be more profitable to make it thinner?
"Of course, in the entire Pingjiang Mansion, there are really not many masters like my master Zhou." The waiter in the shop didn't know that Master Zhou had joined another owner. Rong Yan.

"Cut~! Such a thick silver wire is extremely difficult to forge? I... My parents can get you a bunch in a few minutes, and it is much thinner than your silver wire, almost as thin as a hair. "Chen Xiaoyu said disdainfully.

Chen Xiaoyu originally wanted to say that if you can draw silk, you are a master, and then you are a great... teacher.

However, when the words came to his lips, Chen Xiaoyu felt something was wrong.She is a girl, how can she compare with other craftsmen?

So Chen Xiaoyu fabricated an unnecessary "self-parented elder".

When Chen Xiaoyu was still Fairy Chen in her previous life, she learned a method of cultivating spiritual consciousness.The introductory skill of this technique is to use gold or silver to draw wire.

It can be said that in her previous life, Chen Xiaoyu used her spiritual consciousness to draw a lot of gold and silver threads, each of which was thinner than a strand of hair.

"Is this true?" Shopkeeper Huang interjected excitedly when he heard this.

The drawing process of gold and silver has always been an extremely difficult problem in jewelry forging.

Stretched?Not to mention the consumption of raw materials, the jewelry made is not exquisite enough.

However, how easy is it to pull gold and silver threads into thin and flexible ones?

If there were really hair-like silver threads, they would be able to make more exquisite and high-end jewelry in "Diancuifang".

If you forge a butterfly at the end of the hairpin with wings as thin as a gauze, or forge a bee with trembling tentacles as thick as hair...

Oops~!This is his "Diancuifang"!After leaving a master Zhou, he immediately found a master who was even more powerful than Master Zhou.

Shopkeeper Huang became more and more excited as he thought about it, his eyes were fixed on Chen Xiaoyu, and even his breathing became short of breath.

Chen Xiaozhi was taken aback by Shopkeeper Huang's fiery eyes, couldn't help but took Chen Xiaoyu's hand, and took a few steps back.

"Sister Xiaozhi, what's the matter?" Chen Xiaoyu turned to look at Chen Xiaozhi beside her.

"Xiaoyu, I...I want to go home." Chen Xiaozhi said.

"Sister Xiaozhi, wait a minute, let's go after we buy something." Chen Xiaoyu comforted her.

"Girl, are you serious? Can your seniors really pull out silver strands as thick as hair?" Shopkeeper Huang was impatient, couldn't help but walked out of the counter, and asked a question.

"Of course, I never lie." Chen Xiaoyu said.

Chen Xiaoyu was afraid that shopkeeper Huang would not believe it, so she reached out her hand and took out a small ball of silver wire from her purse.

This is the silver thread that Chen Xiaoyu pulled when she was cultivating her spiritual consciousness last night. Originally, Chen Xiaoyu wanted to give these silver threads to Tuan Ba ​​Tuan Ba ​​Tuan tonight to return a ball of broken silver and pull it again.

Who made Chen Xiaoyu still a poor village girl before today?Silver wire or something must be recycled!
"This...this..." Shopkeeper Huang's eyes widened.

What a thin silver thread!It's really as thick as a hair.

Such a thin silver thread, even the old treasurer Huang is still alive, it is impossible to forge it.

The little girl didn't lie, there really was a master blacksmith in her family.

After Chen Xiaoyu finished showing off her silver thread, she quickly stuffed it back into her purse.

Shopkeeper Huang's eyes were too hot, Chen Xiaoyu was afraid that if he didn't put it away, shopkeeper Huang might reach out to snatch it in a second.

Although such a small amount of silver thread is only about one penny, it is still silver, isn't it?

Chen Xiaoyu would not waste it.

"Girl, let's get acquainted. I'm Huang Youliang, the shopkeeper and owner of this "Diancuifang"." After the shopkeeper Huang reluctantly moved his eyes away from Chen Xiaoyu's purse, he said with a smile.
