"Originally, we thought we had seen it wrong, or that Ye State had stolen someone else's drawings and made it a forgery. If you say that it was Ye State craftsmen sawing, tenoning, carving, and shaping, we really don't believe it. "
"It's gone, let's go. This carriage is probably just a show-off. To be honest, when Fang Fang takes a look, the cuts are neat, the seams are tight, and the craftsmanship is top-notch. Even we old people are almost deceived." .”
"Oh no, my spring reward money, oh, why was I so impulsive and gave it to the craftsmen of Ye Kingdom!"
The expressions of the people around him all changed completely. As the saying goes, Liu Tian could change at will, but they were more fickle than Liu Tian.
Not long ago, people crowded around him as if they had found a treasure, but in the blink of an eye, they were all scorned and insulted, as if the "craftsman of Ye State" should be nailed to the pillar of shame and never be favored.
Shi Hetong and Mu Gaoyi knew what outsiders thought of the craftsmen of Ye State.
However, from the initial flattery and chasing after the "spring reward money" to the merchants who now feel that they have been deceived, they turn their backs and deny the person, and use their best words to slander and scorn. Their faces suddenly turn red, and they feel ashamed and embarrassed.
But the current situation did not allow them to endure it silently. The two of them hurried forward and hurriedly explained: "No, take a closer look. It is not just what it looks like. It can not only carry people, but also run." So fast!"
"Yes, as long as you sit on it and give it a try, you will definitely see a different change. Although we are craftsmen of Ye State, craftsmen of Ye State are not necessarily..."
It just means poor representation.
The eternal inferiority and the ever-present prejudice almost bent the heads and backs of the craftsmen of Ye State.
"Oh, don't think of us as fools. If this isn't plagiarizing the drawings of craftsmen from other countries, then it must be just a showpiece. To make it so luxurious and special, it's just a matter of focusing on the appearance."
"Such a heavy carriage is divided into two layers, upper and lower, and has four wheels, and the front and rear wheels are different sizes. Just look at the rims that are so thin. How can it run? I'm afraid it won't only run one mile, but it will run completely You can’t stand it anymore, so you can’t stand it anymore.”
"That's right, it looks good but it's useless. There are so many good-looking wooden objects. Isn't the corner library in the booth next door even more luxurious? And the mechanical flock of birds returning to their nests, combining static and dynamic, isn't it even more magical?"
Shi Hetong listened to their words, but no one felt that their dragon carriage was ready. The crowd gradually dispersed, their faces turned from red to white, and it seemed that it only took such a moment to fall from heaven to hell.
They finally plucked up the courage to come to Julu Kingdom to join the "Jichun Craftsmen's Union". Although they were only the three of them, they felt that they were carrying the expectations of the entire Ye Kingdom's craftsmen.
They didn't want to come here in vain, and they didn't want to come back to fulfill their ambitions, only to go back in a miserable state.
"No, no, it's not what you said. It can really run. The rim is thin because..."
Both of them were so anxious that they were sweating and couldn't speak clearly. They wanted to explain but found that they were full of blanks.
Because the real technical content of this Panlong Carriage is all in the hands of "A Qing". Although they participated in the manufacturing, they are just tool workers and have not studied the rest.
They immediately thought of "A Qing" and looked at her asking for help - help me, help me, just like every time they encountered a problem and they were at a loss, she could always come forward to solve it perfectly.
However, compared to their panic and panic, Zheng Quchi showed no intention of stopping them from leaving.
In fact, she just caught the bastard in the pot, with a nonchalant attitude, she smiled and said: "Oh, since you don't like our Ye Kingdom's carriage, then please invite me."
What?
Just ask for anything?
Mu Gaoyi and Shi Hetong's eyes widened with expressions of "Did I hear that right?" Is she crazy?
Not far away, the plainclothes Xuanjia Army was specially left to guard Panlong's carriage. Ben Ye was indignant and shared the same hatred with Mu Gaoyi and the others. He was so angry that he almost ran away, wishing he could beat up these businessmen who were full of foul language. Vent anger.
But when he saw "Ah Qing" not caring at all, and even looking forward to them leaving quickly, he was also frightened for a moment.
He, is he confused?
Although they say that they are in "turbulent sea" in their hearts, their reason reminds them that if they cannot retain these merchants and do not get the "spring appreciation money" in their hands, they will not be able to successfully enter the top ten of the "Jichun Craftsmen's Guild" .
Then all their previous efforts and this trip were in vain.
Therefore, when they are so angry and being pointed at and scorned in front of their faces, they still smile and don't move at all. Isn't it just to keep people around?
What is she doing? Drive people away?
The merchants who were about to leave the next house were distracted by Zheng Quchi's unconventional dispatch.
Hey, is she still arrogant?
They all felt that the humble attitude like Mu Gaoyi and others was the right thing to do, but this young man with a scar on his eyebrows looked down on them and chased away "guests", which was extremely arrogant and annoying.
They turned around and couldn't help but choked a few words: "Did we tell you that you were right and you felt guilty and asked us to leave?"
Zheng Quchi nodded quickly and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I feel guilty. I don't have to ask you to stay. Please hurry up."
But the more she smiled, the more irritated she became to others, and her steps seemed to be stuck to the ground, unable to walk.
They wanted to leave because they disdained the things made by these craftsmen of Ye State, but why did she disdain them and push them away?
"Do you think there will be people who will be deceived by you? Humph, we are not as stupid as those people who haven't figured out anything yet and are in a hurry to commit."
When these words came out, they were a little offended. After all, many people were shocked by the innovative and unique "Coiling Dragon Carriage" before, and they were eager to invest the "Spring Reward Silver Coin".
They immediately frowned and glared at the speaker.
Anyone who has ever quarreled should know that during a quarrel, the calmer you act and the less you care, the more likely you are to irritate the other person.
For example, no matter how unpleasant the other person’s words are, if you don’t get angry and just look at the other person with an indifferent, perfunctory, perfunctory and mocking expression, and perfectly interpret the psychological activity of “Why is there a clown here?”, you will definitely Can make the other party jump in anger.
Zheng Quchi is like this now. No matter how harsh they say, she remains calm and relaxed. Then she smiles and mocks: "It is true that there are very few people with unique insight in the world, but they can judge based on their own prejudices and temporary moods." There are countless people who decide whether other people’s woodwork is good or bad. I have always respected the former and stayed away from the latter, so I respect your decision, please.”
She once again put on a fake smile that said, "Please leave quickly and don't block my way of making money."
The repeated "please" was a stab in their proud and indulgent hearts.
They are even more unwilling to leave now. They have to stay and argue, otherwise they will be "shooted" away by her. Wouldn't they just win her heart and admit that they are "biased" and not that "special insight"? "People?"
And there is a small group of people who invested in the "spring reward money". They were angry and regretful at first, but now they are deceived by "A Qing"'s seemingly superior self-confidence that he has no worries about selling cars. Deep down in my heart, I still hope that the craftsmen of Ye State will be able to speak out this time.
After all, they have no regrets about voting. Their investment has already been made, and they naturally hope to get their money back in the end.
If the exhibits that merchants participate in voting can be among the ten finalists, it not only means that they have good vision, but also can learn the identity information of the exhibits' craftsmen through the "Jichun Craftsmen Guild".
All the works that can be shortlisted are extraordinary.
Just like the previous "keel waterwheel", a businessman negotiated a cooperation with this craftsman and applied this technology to practical purposes, benefiting the agricultural development of a county. One person quickly opened up his knowledge, and the other's knowledge skyrocketed. Climbing the wealth list.
It can be said that a second-class businessman can instantly become a first-class wealthy businessman once he has a piece of goods at the bottom of the box.
Everyone who comes here, whether they are craftsmen or merchants, is gambling on a different future with everything they have.
But it’s still the same sentence: A person who has achieved enlightenment can stir up clouds and cause rain, and a dragon can turn into a dragon when it enters the sea. Gold will always shine.
A merchant snorted angrily: "It's so mysterious!"
A businessman angrily said: "The evil words are misleading the public!"
A businessman sneered: "Nonsense!"
A businessman chuckled: "It's a bluff!"
Zheng Quchi: "..." Why are they letting her play solitaire like this? After all the nonsense, they kept walking.
Mu Gaoyi and Shi Hetong had been watching Ah Qing with uneasiness as he smiled at a group of merchants from the seven countries.
I thought that they would put down their hooves and walk faster after being provoked, but unexpectedly, these people not only did not leave, but also stayed and started "Idiom Solitaire" with a mean look. They were also speechless.
If they weren't so impatient just now, why would they say they were leaving but not leaving?
What are you waiting for?
Well, Shi Hetong and Mu Gaoyi's current mentality has been completely led astray by Zheng Quchi, and they didn't even remember that they wanted to retain people at the beginning.
Seeing that the situation was getting tense, an old man wearing brown linen coarse clothes came over with a stick. He said to Zheng Quchi with a kind face: "I am also a person from Ye State. I never thought that I would be able to live in this world one day." , seeing that the craftsmen of Ye State have built such an amazing carriage, can you tell me whether it can really go on the road?"
Hearing that there were people from Ye State here, Zheng Quchi's attention immediately turned to him. She hesitated and said: "Grandpa, are you a businessman from Ye State?"
He is a little old man, probably in his sixties if not seventy. He is thin and small, with a slightly hunched back. He is not dressed in soft and luxurious clothes. He wears a round hat. There is nothing special about him.
The only special thing is probably that while others were making bad remarks about Ye Guo, he showed up with great interest to inquire and inquire while the charcoal was being cooked.
"Yes, but I only run a small business, and I don't have any extra money to donate to the monks of Wujue Temple, because I only have this spring gift coin. If you can sincerely convince me, I will give it to you. , how about it?" he said cheerfully.
Hearing this, Zheng Quchi looked at him silently and calmly.
In fact, she has been waiting for such a suitable opportunity to turn everything around.
She didn't know whether the appearance of this little old man was a coincidence or intentional, but his appearance just solved her problem. The two of them had a tacit understanding like grandparents and grandchildren, their eyes met, one smiled kindly, and the other looked calmly.
Others did not understand the secret communication between the two of them. These merchants all thought that Zheng Quchi would say to them, who cares about your "Spring Reward Silver Coin", please take it.
But she didn't expect that the next second, she would respond: "Okay."
The merchants suddenly lost their composure, and their eyes widened one by one.
Hey, you clearly didn’t have this attitude towards us just now. You have changed. Why are you so positive and motivated now?
All the merchants were angry. Why did she treat the merchants of Ye State like this? She is clearly discriminating against businessmen from other countries. This is prejudice and selfishness!
Okay, isn't she going to explain this carriage to this Ye country businessman and persuade him to invest "spring reward money"?
They stood there stiffly, angry, and arrogantly, just waiting to hear what kind of flower she could weave in the end.
"Please follow me." Zheng Quchi led the little old man to approach the Panlong carriage.
Appreciating the dragon-coiled carriage at such a close distance, the visual impact and the exquisite national fashion craftsmanship made the little old man couldn't help but open his mouth slightly, and his eyes seemed to be glued to it, making it difficult to look away.
She began to introduce the most superficial part: "Grandpa, please see, the carriage is called Panlong. It is driven by three or two horses. The carriage is divided into upper and lower levels. The lower compartment is relatively stable and comfortable, and the roof can It is equivalent to a small mobile house for carrying people and things. It can be used to carry things over long distances and to carry people at the same time. The two places exist independently and will not interfere with each other. It is a mobile private space. A good car A carriage must naturally be comfortable, quiet, and open to the vastness.”
The little old man looked up and down, listened to her introduction, and entered the situation: "Yes, yes, you said it very well."
"Just wait and see."
Zheng Quchi introduced him to the details: "This is an iron hoop wheel. Although the wheel is thin, its special concave and convex shape of round nails is very solid and has strong grip. It can crush ordinary gravel. If it encounters unevenness and depression, On this road section, its wide round and long wheel design can slow down the depth of sinking, making it easier for the vehicle to be dragged out..."
"Also, you see that this carriage is huge and looks very heavy, but in fact it is lighter than an ordinary small carriage. If you don't believe me, just compare it with a scale."
"There is a step ladder at the back of the car, which makes it easy to get up and down. Even the elderly and young children with limited legs and feet can easily enter. The interior is open, with seats for each person, so it is not crowded, and the seat cushions are made of the toughest yellow cowhide. The car is filled with cotton wool and is very comfortable and soft to sit on. The car also has a snack tray to satisfy your cravings, a casual coffee table, a foot rest for long periods of sitting, and a folding sleeping board for sleeping at night..."
This series of interior designs does not sound complicated, but everything is very user-friendly, making people feel that it will definitely be an ultimate enjoyment to sit on this carriage.
The little old man nodded repeatedly, especially because her design took into account special groups of people, both young and old: "Yes, yes, this carriage is indeed so appealing that people want to get on it and take a ride, but do you know what is the most important thing about a carriage?"
