Chapter 1409

Huo Tianming said that there is a well-known blacksmith shop in the east of Beijun city. There is a master who specializes in making embroidery needles for people. It is said that he made embroidery needles for the empress in the palace in the first dynasty and was appreciated. Later, he had this professional craft.

The embroidery needle he made can achieve the fineness that others can't do. He can make what he wants for you.

In the once famous Suzhou Hangzhou embroidery, there is a world-famous embroidery hair called Jinxiu cloud weaving.

The needles used by the beauties are the thinnest, which ensures that the needle can be thinner than the thread. When the needle passes through the cloth, only the thread is left on the cloth without seeing the pinhole, which ensures the precision of the pattern, so it is regarded as the most precious embroidery by the women in the palace.

Although everyone wants to embroider this kind of work, it's very rare to find a master who can make such a needle, because the needle doesn't need other objects, and it will break directly if you are careless. Therefore, ordinary blacksmiths generally can't polish it to that fine, and the requirements of this needle are very high. It's necessary to ensure that flexibility is not easy to break.

If it is broken, it is likely that this pair of embroidery will be scrapped.

So it's very difficult. Luo qingluan didn't expect that the master would settle down in Beijun city. It's a coincidence. Heaven helps me.

"Does boss Huo know this master? Can you ask him to help make this screw? And does he produce energy?" Luo qingluan is now most concerned about these details.

She doesn't dare to be a little careless. If the door screw falls off when the guest is high in the air, it may cause the guest to be frightened and fall out of the air. This is no joke.

However, if it can't be mass produced, it's also useless. One screw will do it for ten and a half days and a half months, and the project of Jinling mountain will not be able to start in a year and a half.

"No harm, boss Luo, don't worry. We can go to his shop to see if what he does meets our requirements, and we can also bring the design drawings to him. If he says he can do it, we believe he can. If he can't do it, he will directly refuse, or give you other suggestions and alternative ways. What do you think? ”

Huo Tianming suggested.

"OK, let's go and have a look." Luo qingluan nodded, then took a series of parts design drawings and followed Huo Tianming to the blacksmith shop in the east of the city.

When she went to the blacksmith's shop, Luo qingluan really saw many strange small objects in his shop, as well as many common ones, such as arrows, which are very small and exquisite.

"The owner of the blacksmith's shop is Zhai Yao. When he was young, he studied blacksmithing with his father, which can be regarded as a son passing on his father's career. When his father was young, he was a royal designer who made iron and silver jewelry for the palace. Many women in the palace were proud to bring Zhai's jewelry."

"Because the jewelry made by their family was unique, people from other families did not hesitate to spend high prices to sell Zhai's jewelry in the hands of the empress in the palace. When they went back to study, they failed to refer to his technology and imitate it. Therefore, Zhai's family was everyone at that time."

"Even if this craft is taken out now, it will amaze the Jianghu. However, since the collapse of the previous dynasty, master Fu no longer makes such high-grade jewelry, but turns to be a blacksmith. He has everything in his shop. Look..."

Huo Tianming carefully introduced Zhai Yao's shop to Luo qingluan. There were a lot of things

Can brighten her eyes. Even the most common arrows are divided into many kinds, including the coarsest and the most exquisite.

Luo qingluan remembered the exquisite dagger she gave to Mu Xiaoyu, but at that time, Liang Yuyan ordered someone to make the dagger. She didn't know whether it was made by Zhai family, but the workmanship of the things in his shop was somewhat similar to that dagger, and she seemed to see an exquisite pattern on every object, like a plum.

"What is this?" Luo qingluan asked Huo Tianming.

"Oh, this is the unique symbol of their family, plum blossom brand."

Huo Tianming explained: "this was the supreme honor given to the Zhai family by a very beloved imperial concubine in the former dynasty. Because the imperial concubine's name had a word of plum, it used a pattern of plum and branded it on the silver. Almost everything in the Zhai family would have such a mark, which is the same reason that its own signboard would be engraved on gold and silver jewelry."

"I see." Luo qingluan nodded, "but this pattern is too exquisite. How did they print it?"

Luo qingluan saw that the plum blossom pattern was lifelike and quite exquisite. Even the jewelry on her head was not so exquisite. After all, it was not easy to print such things in this era.

"I have to ask Zhai Yao." Huo Tianming smiled and turned to the shopkeeper, "boss, we want to ask, how is this exquisite plum blossom pattern printed?"

When asking questions, Zhai Yao was making a sharp sword. When he saw Luo qingluan, he thought she also came to buy embroidery needles, because all the women who came to his store came to buy embroidery needles.

"Here." He rummaged in the tool stand, took out something like a small seal and handed it to Luo qingluan, "that's it."

Luo qingluan took a look and found that it was a floating seal. The pattern on it was really exquisite, comparable to the modern three places relief technology.

"Boss, did you carve it yourself or?" Luo qingluan asked.

"My father carved it." Zhai Yao took the seal and pointed aside, "there are many more over there. See for yourself."

With that, he was busy with his work.

Huo Tianming took some seals aside. Luo qingluan saw that the size of each seal was different, but the patterns were the same exquisite. He couldn't help nodding. It seems that the master is comfortable among the people.

"Yes, the technology is in place, but I just don't know if I can take our list." Luo qingluan said.

"Boss, we have an object here. Can you see what you can do?" Huo Tianming took the lead in asking.

"Wait a minute, I'll be right away." Zhai Yao is very busy. He is busy almost every day from morning to night, grinding all kinds of parts all the time. Sometimes someone will order a batch of weapons. As soon as he is busy, he is busy day and night, and his hands almost never stop.

Luo qingluan looked at him sweating and waited for him patiently in the store.

"Zhai Yao is still very hardworking. After his father retired to the mountains and forests, he no longer made jewelry, because people here can't afford his high-grade jewelry for the time being, and there are a lot of second-class jewelry in the street, so he disdains to do it. Speaking of it, boss Luo's character is very similar to his father."

"Oh? What do you say?" Luo qingluan is interested.

"You see, you all pursue classics in the same way. Either you don't do it or you have to give full play to your strengths. When he was in the palace, he also stood out among a group of craftsmen. At that time, it attracted a lot of jealousy. At that time, some people deliberately destroyed the jewelry he was about to hand in, just to kill him. As a result, he was not killed, but also on the spot The man who broke his jewelry was found out. "

"Not only was he not punished, but he was rewarded. The person who deliberately sabotaged the palace ended up beheading. He also deliberately blamed others for destroying the things in the palace. At that time, he was just an ordinary craftsman, so he ended up killing the nine families. Zhai couldn't bear to rent them because of this mistake. He begged the emperor. The emperor exempted his nine families and changed them into three families. As a result ……”

"Oh." Luo qingluan didn't want to know, "as a result, others are not only not grateful, but even more intensified, aren't they?"

"Yes." Huo Tianming is worthless for Zhai, but it's like this in the palace. People are dangerous. If you're not cruel, others will be cruel to you. It's no use being kind and soft. Only surviving is the truth.

Luo qingluan clenched her lips and smiled. Who said it wasn't?

What day is it in the imperial palace? Although it is separated by a wall, the world thinks that there are rich clothes and food in the imperial palace. Everyone knows that as big as the emperor, the queen, as small as a palace maid eunuch, and even sweeping and washing clothes, they live a life of licking blood on the edge of the knife every day. If they are not careful, they may die without a place to bury themselves.

Like Zhai, big trees attract wind. There are few backers. That's totally impossible.

But fortunately, now his son has opened a blacksmith shop here and inherited his skills. I think later, Zhai also got mixed up like a fish in water.

"Just get used to it. Anyway, I don't want to live in the palace anymore. It's good to be carefree and do some small business." Luo qingluan inadvertently said.

"Ha ha, boss Luo is too modest." Huo Tianming thought he heard wrong. "You want a small business? Aren't these people going to starve to death?"

"Hehe, let's see if Zhai Yao is ready." Luo qingluan reacted and smiled. Huo Tianming also smiled.

Zhai Yao was just finished when he came out

"Sorry, you've been waiting." Zhai Yao politely wants Huo Tianming to bow to Luo qingluan.

"Master Zhai, you're welcome." Luo qingluan responded with a smile.

"Two, please sit inside." Zhai Yao took his head in front and took them to the back of the shop.

Pushing open a small door, Luo qingluan and Huo Tianming came to Zhai's yard.

"Unexpectedly, there is a blacksmith's shop in front and a secret garden behind?" Luo qingluan saw a scene in front of her, which brightened her eyes.

I thought he was a three big and five thick man. His home should be dark and there are traces of rust or carbon stone everywhere. After all, it is impossible for his family to be clean in this business, because he often makes iron day and night and makes all kinds of parts. He basically has no time to collect his home, not to mention making his home so clean and planting flowers.

"Hehe, I just love flowers. I like some beautiful things. Sometimes I take time to take care of them. Sometimes I don't have time. Xiaoyu'er next door will come and take care of them for me." Zhai Yao smiled.

"Little jade?" Luo qingluan whispered.
