Admittedly, expensive! It’s never its shortcoming, but the shortcoming of the person who can’t afford it!
Here, Xiao Han does not have this shortcoming! Sun Simiao did, but considering that there was such a big head like Xiao Han standing next to him! This shortcoming seems to be no longer a shortcoming.
When Xiao Han nodded in agreement, Sun Simiao, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately held the bamboo tube in one hand and pulled Xiao Han up with the other! Then he ran towards the coppersmith's workshop, even if Xiao Han behind him was yelling, his speed did not slow down.
After finally running to the bronze workshop, Xiao Han sat down on the steps, feeling like his legs were about to break! Having just received a "private massage" from Sun Simiao, and then immediately doing such a strenuous exercise, even an iron man couldn't bear it!
Sun Simiao had no time to worry about the dog-like Xiao Han. He went up and pushed open the wooden door of the outer room of the workshop. However, when he saw clearly what was inside, Sun Simiao immediately took a breath of cold air!
Sun Simiao knew about this bronze workshop! Because his precious microscope was produced in this workshop, and at that time, it was just a very small workshop, with one table and one stool. If the stove at the back was not included, the workshop was really simple and sad. !
But I didn’t expect, how long has it just been? The originally empty house has completely changed!
Looking around, the room is filled with all kinds of strange bronze wares! The largest number of them are various copper pipes.
This is also because they are contracted to make microscopes and telescopes, and the coppersmith is particularly interested in various round tubes! Here, big, small, long and short copper pipes are almost everywhere!
No wonder the coppersmith volunteered to make needles yesterday. Sun Simiao understood it as soon as he saw this room! After all, isn't the prototype of the needle Xiao Han mentioned just a smaller, thinner tube?
There is no one in this wooden house, but you can clearly hear the clanking of metal coming from the back. It is estimated that the old coppersmith is working in the furnace at the back! After all, I got the bounty yesterday. If I don’t ship the goods, I would be really sorry for Xiao Han!
After all, Sun Simiao was a man who had seen the world. A room full of bronzes could not sway him, so after being stunned for a short time, Sun Simiao looked at the collection in the room with great interest.
Didn't he and Xiao Han come here to look for these things? Let’s see if there is anything suitable here first!
Against the corner, there is a large wooden shelf specially made by a carpenter, which is as tall as one person!
Copper pipes of various sizes were displayed above. Sun Simiao walked closer and picked up one. As a result, before he had time to take a closer look, he tilted his hand, and the copper pipe originally held in his hand suddenly stretched out two sections from one side and became much longer, which also shocked Lao Sun.
"Xiao Han, what is this for?" Sun Simiao asked Xiao Han as he grabbed the copper pipe in his hand, tried to stuff it back in and then pulled it out, watching it become shorter and longer.
Xiao Han stood up with great effort, entered the room and took a look before replying boredly: "This is a telescope I designed that can be extended by three sections. Unfortunately, I never found a suitable lens, so I threw it here after making it. "
Sun Simiao nodded and was about to put it down when he suddenly remembered that he still had a few crystals collected by Daomen in his room, so he said, "Hey, don't waste such a good thing! I still have two crystals there, wait. Let me see if it works for you!"
"Okay, okay!" When Xiao Han heard this, he nodded quickly! He also found someone to get some crystals a while ago, but most of them were useless due to quality reasons. Now Sun Simiao wants to contribute some crystals, how could he not agree quickly?
"Then remember to come back and find me to get it!" Sun Simiao simply said and said nothing more.
He has always taken things like crystal very lightly. Perhaps in his eyes, they are just a few stones. Giving them away is the same as giving away a few dry biscuits. He doesn't care that these few broken stones can buy hundreds of carts of dry goods. cake……
Just when Xiao Han was secretly pleased with himself and decided to forgive him for beating him just now, Sun Simiao picked up a copper pipe with one end sealed from the shelf, looked at it, and then asked Xiao Han: "Then what is this used for?" ?”
Xiao Han was about to open his mouth to answer for Sun Simiao, but suddenly he discovered this strange thing that he had never seen before.
I came over and took a look, but I didn’t recognize it! He took it from Lao Sun and looked through it a few times, but still had no clue. Xiao Han couldn't help scratching his head and said: "This... I haven't seen it before. I guess the people here came out to do something..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the back door of the house suddenly opened, and then the old coppersmith bumped in like a wild boar!
"Phew, it's finally done! I'm exhausted! Drink some water and rest! Huh? Lord Marquis? Why are you here?"
The old coppersmith who rushed into the room and grabbed the teapot suddenly found that there seemed to be two more people in the room. He was so frightened that he almost dropped the teapot to the ground! Fortunately, he recognized these two people in time, so the old coppersmith didn't attack them on the spot.
"Master Marquis, I'd like to inform you when you come! Also, why are you taking my drinking cup?" the coppersmith said to Xiao Han complainingly.
"Daozhang Sun brought me here..." Xiao Han smiled unnaturally, and the next second, the smile solidified on his face: "What? Is this the cup you drink from?"
Xiao Han's eyes suddenly widened! No wonder I always feel like something is wrong with the copper stuff lately, my feelings have been misappropriated by this guy! Even the cups used for drinking water are made of copper, so they are not afraid of developing a patina or drinking too much heavy metals to death!
Seeing Xiao Han's stunned look, the old coppersmith realized what he had said. He quickly stepped back and smiled: "Ahem, it's just a little bit of scraps. I'm also responding to your call, trash. Just use it... Oh, by the way, I got the copper needle you asked for yesterday! I'll show it to you right now, please wait a moment!"
After that, the coppersmith wiped his sweat and ran back to the backyard without looking back. I don’t know if I’m going to get the copper needle, or if I’m rushing to hide all the things I’ve beaten privately...
Later, Xiao Han's nose was almost crooked with anger! He thought to himself, if this bastard hadn't run so fast, his big forty-two feet would have kicked him long ago!
I even use the term scraps! Needless to say, I must have learned it from the carpenter, because this is what Xiao Han told the carpenter!
But this bastard didn't even think about it. Wood has unsuitable corners. Could it be that copper also has edges? Don’t you know how much copper is worth now? That can be used directly as money!
Sitting on the stool angrily, Xiao Han squinted his eyes and scanned the room! I made up my mind that if this bastard dares to use his own brass to make a chamber pot or something, he will definitely put it on the head of the coppersmith!
The coppersmith was very lucky, Xiao Han was not in the house and there were no other contraband. Of course, it might be that there were too many copperwares in the room, and Xiao Han was dazzled and couldn't find them for a while.
Not long after, the coppersmith had already left and returned, holding three thin yellow-orange needles in his rough hands.
It is said to be a thin needle, but in Xiao Han's opinion: this needle is thicker than the toothpick he uses! I don’t know how painful it will be for the person receiving the injection! As a person who is not susceptible to needles, Xiao Han felt slightly dizzy when he saw this thing!
The coppersmith came in from the back door and came straight to Xiao Han with a copper needle in his hand. His old face was full of flattery: "Master Hou, I stayed up all night to figure this out. Do you think it will work?"
"Hmph, I'll settle the score with you later!" Xiao Han and Sun Simiao each picked up one and examined it carefully.
The copper needle is very well made, smooth and straight throughout. With one end facing the window, you can clearly see from the other end that the copper pin is hollow in the middle, and the cavity is very large!
Of course, in order to ensure the quality, Xiao Han put it in his mouth and blew hard until he could clearly feel the wind on the other side of his palm.
