And while everyone was thinking hard, one of them suddenly slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "Yes!"
After hearing what the other party said, everyone's eyes naturally fell on that person.
When the man saw that everyone's eyes were on him, he began to say slowly, "I know a friend, he may be able to help us."
After hearing the man's words, everyone naturally became excited. "What? Can your friend get artillery?"
The man nodded naturally when he heard this, "Yes, just leave this matter to me."
Upon hearing this, everyone naturally asked, "How did you get the artillery?"
But the man said, "Don't worry about it, I just have a way."
After listening to the man's words, the others naturally stopped asking any more questions.
So the seven or eight people now arranged their division of labor. The man was responsible for getting the artillery, the guide was responsible for guiding the way, Luo Jingcheng was responsible for getting the gunpowder, and the rest were responsible for pulling people. After all, the number of people to be pulled this time was quite large.
After arranging this, the guide only took everyone for a walk around Yanle Lake. There were no local indigenous people around Nayanle Lake at the moment. Everyone just took a look at the tall metasequoia trees, the lush woods, and the rain cumulus clouds in the center of the lake.
After seeing the general form clearly, a group of people hurriedly left the place.
As soon as Luo Jingcheng returned to Leiyang City, he went to find the most famous fireworks craftsman in the city.
The fireworks craftsman lives near the outer city of Leiyang City.
The reason why such a great craftsman lives in the outer city is naturally because there is still a certain risk when the fireworks are released for experiment after they are made. The population density in the inner city is high and there is no open space. If you are not careful, you will not be able to do it. If it goes well, it will catch fire, and then the water dragon team will have to be troubled to put out the fire.
There are only a few scattered houses in the outer city, and there are large areas of open space, so the fireworks craftsman only arranged the boundary in the outer city.
When Luo Jingcheng rode his horse and whipped his whip all the way to the fireworks craftsman's house, several fireworks in the blue sky began to bloom from above his head.
Although the fireworks did not look gorgeous in the daytime, looking at the shape of the fireworks, Luo Jingcheng knew that this experiment should be successful.
When Luo Jingcheng arrived at the fireworks craftsman's shed, the craftsman's wife was holding her child and pouring cold water to the passing guests.
Obviously, the craftsman's family also does a business of selling herbal tea, and in the shed were several guests who came to Leiyang City from outside. Some of them were traveling lightly, some were riding horses, and the horses were tied to On a nearby metasequoia tree.
The shed was buzzing with chatter, and everyone was just talking about their experiences.
After Luo Jingcheng tied his horse to a metasequoia tree beside the road, he strode towards the shed.
When the woman saw another guest coming, she immediately greeted her happily and said, "What kind of herbal tea would the guest like to drink?"
Upon hearing the woman's greeting, Luo Jingcheng waved his hand and said, "I don't want tea. Where is your man? I'm here to find him."
After hearing the man's words, the woman immediately called to one of the craftsman's apprentices and said, "He Cheng, this guest is going to see your master. Please take him there."
Hearing the woman's words, the young apprentice named He Cheng nodded, and then he led the other party to his master's fireworks experiment site.
A man with dark skin, a strong build, and dressed like a farmer only raised his head and looked at the falling fireworks with satisfaction.
The apprentice did not dare to disturb his master at this time. Luo Jingcheng was about to step forward, but the apprentice only stopped Luo Jingcheng and said, "Guest, wait until my master has finished experimenting with this round of fireworks, then you can go over, otherwise he will definitely happy."
After hearing what the other party said, Luo Jingcheng naturally cooperated and stayed where he was.
And several people waited until this round of fireworks ended before the apprentice named He Cheng quickly walked to his master's side.
"Master, there is a guest looking for you."
After hearing this, the craftsman put down the flint in his hand and asked Luo Jingcheng, "What's the matter?"
Luo Jingcheng immediately said, "I want to negotiate a big business deal with you."
The craftsman said, "He Cheng, please take him over to place an order."
Then he
Then he said, "To talk about these things, you can just go to my apprentice directly."
Luo Jingcheng saw that the old man was going to work on his own again, and he quickly said anxiously, "Wait, Master, I not only want to place an order, but I also have craft requirements. Isn't it wrong to ask you for this?"
The fireworks craftsman nodded, and then he asked in a low voice, "If you have any requests, just tell me."
Hearing the old man's words, Luo Jingcheng just whispered, "I want to make a batch of explosives."
Upon hearing this, the old man's face immediately revealed a burst of suspicion and vigilance.
Luo Jingcheng immediately said, "Don't worry, I didn't use that batch of explosives to do bad things. This thing is because my house in the suburbs is to be demolished, so explosives are needed."...
But the old man obviously still didn't believe it. After all, what he said was unfounded, and Luo Jingcheng obviously saw the old man's concerns, so he just said, "Don't worry, I am the second son of the Luo family in Leiyang City. Our Luo family is so big in Leiyang, there is no way we would do such illegal things."
After hearing Luo Jingcheng's words, the old man seemed to be silent for a moment, and then he just said to the apprentice next to him, "Go and make an order for him."
Hearing what the old man said, Luo Jingcheng followed the old man's apprentice He Cheng and walked into the shop.
The old man's apprentice only gave Luo Jingcheng an order for thirty boxes of fireworks and salutes. However, because it was a big business, Luo Jingcheng had to pay half of the deposit. However, after the other party placed the order, Luo Jingcheng was ready to leave directly. .
He Cheng quickly stopped Luo Jingcheng.
"Second Young Master Luo."
Luo Jingcheng looked back at He Cheng in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Then He Cheng whispered, "Second Young Master, you haven't paid the deposit yet."
"Do you still need to pay a deposit?" Luo Jingcheng asked impatiently.
He Cheng could only say in a low voice, "Of course you have to pay a deposit. If the second master doesn't want to pay, we can pay through other channels. For example, we can go to Luofu to settle the bill."
Upon hearing this, Luo Jingcheng immediately said, "How much is the deposit?"
He Cheng immediately whispered a deposit of six silver coins.
Upon hearing this, Luo Jingcheng was immediately dumbfounded.
Isn't Liu Yinzi simply trying to kill him? He only gets about ten taels of monthly silver in a month, which is still a lot. After all, his eldest brother, who has high hopes in the Luo family, only gets so much in a month. Thinking of this, he is a little embarrassed. stand up.
But of course he couldn't let this guy see the flaw.
"With this little money, how can our Luo family get less of your money? When you finish the work, wouldn't it be the same if I gave you money?"
However, when he heard Luo Jingcheng's words, the clerk shook his head and said, "Sir, you didn't say that. If you weren't short of money, you would have paid us a deposit. After all, this amount of money is not worth much to you." It's a lot, but it's a lot for us. We are a small business. If we buy many things on credit, we can't afford the raw materials. We can't pay for the goods without the raw materials. It's not like you don't know that the management of these things is very strict. "
Hearing what He Cheng said, Luo Jingcheng was immediately embarrassed, but he immediately said: "How often do our Luo family pay for goods in advance when ordering, and how often do we default on payment? Do you think our family is the kind of family that is short of money?" Really? Forget it, forget it, I can just pay the deposit tomorrow, right?"
Hearing Luo Jingcheng finally let go, He Cheng just smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask Mr. Luo to come over again tomorrow."
Although He Cheng said this, he still couldn't help but murmur in his heart. The second son of the Luo family almost never cares about the internal and external affairs of the Luo family. He only cares about eating, drinking and having fun. Logically speaking, it is not his turn to do this. Now that he is here to do this, could it be that the second son of the Luo family has changed his gender?
On the other side, after they opened the salute business, a customer who was sitting in the herbal tea shop couldn't help but said to the old man's apprentice, "Is that the second son of the Luo family just now?"
He Cheng nodded "Yes."
The customer asked again, "What are you doing here at your fireworks shop?"
It is naturally impossible for He Cheng to tell the truth. Although their master has the ability to make explosives, such powerful things as explosives are basically only allowed to be operated in government camps. Private companies are not allowed to operate such things.
Everyone has to bear the responsibility, so he just smiled and said, "This second young master said he wanted to order thirty boxes of fireworks."
When the guest heard this, he just sighed and said, "Why do you want to order so many fireworks? I remember that the Luo family doesn't have any large banquets to hold recently."
He Cheng hesitated for a while, and then found a half-truth excuse and said, "I heard that the Luo family was preparing to demolish and rebuild their village in the suburbs, so they planned to hold a fireworks banquet after it was completed, so they asked us to advance Rushing to make it."
Upon hearing this, the guest became even more suspicious, "Why didn't I know that their village was about to be rebuilt?"
The guest said this because it was necessary to report to the government for demolition and reconstruction, and this guest happened to be in charge of this work.
After He Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but keep an eye on it and said, "I don't know about this. Just now, Mr. Luo said he was here to do things for his family, but in the end he couldn't even pay the deposit. We didn't know this either." what's going on."
When the guest heard this, he immediately said, "You are probably deceived by the second son of the Luo family. This boy may be setting up a fireworks display for some girl. I can tell you that the Luo family is not short of money, but the second son of the Luo family You'd better not take the young master's personal order, otherwise you might not have the money to pay him back if you take it."
He Cheng naturally nodded in agreement upon hearing this, and then he smiled to please the guest and said, "Mr. Lu, we just don't know whether his business is the Luo family's business or his personal business. We have no relationship with the Luo family. Mr. Lu, you are different, you have many connections, why don't you help us ask Mr. Luo Dashan, so that we can make a decision easily."
