Yi Bai looked at the drawing in his hand and became excited.
He is from the Mo family and knows the drawings of utensils best. When he saw Ran Fang's detailed drawings, he immediately fell in love with them and wanted to keep them for himself.
Ran Fang smiled and explained: "These are the windmill and wind meter mentioned before. I have already drawn them."
"Yi Bai, how many days can you make these two things?"
Yi Bai, who was immersed in the joy of the drawings, did not hear Ran Fang's words. He still looked at the drawings in his hands and let out bursts of exclamations from time to time.
"OK!"
"I have never seen such a magical thing."
Zou Yixiu on the side couldn't stand it anymore. He pushed Yi Bai gently with his hand. Only in Yi Bai's confused eyes did he realize his current position.
Zou Yixiu stood beside Yi Bai and repeated Ran Fang's question just now.
He quickly put down the things in his hands, lowered his head and said, "Please command the atonement."
Seeing him like this, Ran Fang was not angry, and there was still a smile in his eyes.
"It doesn't matter."
"Thank you, Commander." Yi Bai lowered his head and did not dare to look up at Ran Fang. After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid it will take a few more days to make this thing."
"I have never seen these things before. I'm afraid I will have to discuss it with Master when I go back. It will probably take... more than ten days."
When he talked about it later, his tone was obviously a little unconfident.
The last time they chatted, they explained the importance of this thing. If he doesn't do it well, it will implicate the entire Mo family, right?
Ran Fang just nodded and did not say whether the time was short or long.
After a pause, he asked again: "If it's with Gong Loser, how many days do you think it will take?"
Yi Bai didn't know how to answer for a while.
"this……"
In fact, in his heart, he doesn't want anyone to get involved in this matter. After all, if this kind of thing can be made, what a sense of accomplishment it will be.
The Gongshu family and the Mo family have nothing to deal with. I got this thing from Ran Fang first, so how can I give it to the Gongshu family?
Even if he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say this in front of Ran Fang.
"Public losers are not good at these precision things, and besides, they want to be more ambitious than themselves. I'm afraid they won't be good at this kind of thing, right?"
"It's better..."
"Yi Bai! What do you mean by this?!" Suddenly, a sharp voice sounded outside the door, stopping what Yi Bai was going to say next.
The three people in the room turned their heads at the same time and saw Confucian Heng Gaozhuo and a tall man walking in.
The person who spoke just now was the person behind Heng Gaozhuo.
After seeing the person clearly, Yi Bai's face suddenly turned ugly, not because of embarrassment, but with a clear trace of anger.
"Gongshu Yan, why are you here?"
The man known as Gongshu Yan didn't even look at Yi Bai. He and Heng Gaozhuo saluted Ran Fang with a very respectful attitude: "See the commander."
Ran Fang looked at Gong Shuyan and felt that his figure and temperament were different from others. His head-high posture always made him feel superior.
But when he spoke to himself, he was a little more respectful, which was not consistent with his surrounding temperament.
"Get up."
"Are you the disciple of Gong Loser?"
Gongshu Yan stood up straight, his eyes full of respect. He nodded and said softly: "Here."
"I have long heard about the commander's talents, as well as the movable type printing and papermaking skills in the young man's mansion. They all make me admire him deeply. I really want to have the opportunity to see the commander's style with my own eyes."
"So, in recent days, the commander needs someone who is good at making utensils, and he is also looking for someone who is a loser, so I approached Brother Heng and asked him to bring me to see the commander."
"It's really my honor and the public loser's honor."
"But I can't believe that I heard the Mo family's arrogance, so I offended a little. I hope the commander will forgive me."
After saying that, he bowed respectfully to Ran Fang again, and no one could fault his every move.
However, Yi Bai behind him couldn't sit still. He looked at Gong Shuyan with excitement. Unexpectedly, this man was so eloquent, as if his disrespect just now was all his fault.
"You and I……"
"Gongsuyan!"
Seeing Yi Bai jumping up and down and talking incoherently, Gong Shuyan still had a smile on his face, which did not change at all because of his anger.
Not ridiculing, but also not trying to explain.
He looked at Ran Fang again and asked, "When I came in, what did the commander want my father-in-law to do?"
"Can I have a look?"
Ran Fang nodded and looked at the table, indicating that he could come forward and take a look.
"This is it."
"Thank you, Commander."
After saying that, Gongshu Yan stepped forward and took the drawing with both hands. The faint smile on his face suddenly turned to stone. He raised his head and looked at Ran Fang and then at the drawing. The surprise in his eyes could not be hidden.
"this!"
"This was actually painted by the commander?!"
"It's so amazing!"
"If this thing is left to the public loser, it will definitely give the commander a satisfactory answer."
"How about we leave this thing to the public loser?"
"I will definitely be able to make this thing within ten days!"
With a few words, Yi Bai and the Mo family were pushed aside, and he wanted to take all the credit.
Before Ran Fang could speak, Yi Bai, who was standing aside, couldn't help it anymore.
"The commander gave me the Mo family to do it first, so naturally I should choose first."
"Our Mo family can also make this thing, so I won't bother you!"
Gongshu Yan smiled and held the drawing in his hand with no intention of putting it down.
After looking at it for a few more times, he raised his head and looked at Yi Bai with some disdain, and said softly: "It's just my defeated general. How dare you talk so brazenly here?"
As he spoke, he looked at Ran Fang and took the initiative to explain: "The commander doesn't know something. I am an old acquaintance with Yi Bai from the Mo family."
"It's just that because Gongshujia and the Mo family have never dealt with each other, so naturally he and I don't like each other."
"A few years ago, Yi Baifei made a bet with me, saying that he and I would make the same thing together. Whoever could do it faster and better would have to salute the other person when we meet in the future."
"It's a pity that although I didn't learn all the skills of Gong Loser, I was still slightly better than him."
"So, it is most appropriate for me to make this thing. I have learned the skills of Gongshujia in the past few years, and I believe that I will be satisfied with the commander."
Only then did Ran Fang understand why Yi Bai looked unconvinced when he saw Gong Shuyan. It turned out that the two of them had such a deep connection.
However, what he hopes in his heart is that the two of them can cooperate. After all, there is still a lot to do in the future, and it is not a good thing to keep arguing like this.
"I see……"
"Since you two insist, then each of you will take a copy of this drawing and start working on it at the same time."
"Let's see who does it better and faster. The one who does it better, I will give him a more magical blueprint. It depends on which of you can get this opportunity."
This was another gambling game, and both Gongshuyan and Yibai had strong fighting spirit at the same time.
"good!"
"That's it!"
