Chapter 44: Jing Yuan and the Carpenter
Chapter 44 Jingyuan and Carpenter
Jingyuan was stunned. The speed of the whip just now was far beyond what he could observe with his naked eyes. The strong wind caused even the surrounding dust to be blown away.
This piece of eggplant, which was harder than steel, was easily disposed of by Xiao Yun'er.
He walked over and picked up the jet-black wooden board. He placed his palms close to the surface and rubbed it carefully without any unnecessary bumps. The surface of the wooden board was as smooth and flat as if it had been polished by a professional machine tool, with a metallic luster.
, reflecting Jingyuan's profile - it can even be used as a mirror.
Knocking gently, a crisp sound came out. Through the vibration, he could grasp the internal structure of the wooden board. It was still filled with a tight wood core. During the entire polishing process, there were no broken layers or tiny cracks inside.
crack.
Even Xiao Yun'er can't split it as quickly as an ax can split wood. She can only use extremely fast blows, like grinding stones, to grind the piece of eggplant into this shape bit by bit.
In short, the round stick turned into a half-meter-long wooden board, which was slightly like a machete. Then one side was sharpened and a short handle was ground for the hand to hold, and it was considered a machete.
Good quality machete.
Jingyuan weighed it and felt that it felt very good. Although it was made of wood, its mass was greater than that of iron of the same volume, so it didn't feel light and frivolous when purchased.
Jingyuan couldn't wait to tell Xiao Yun'er what to do next. He took out a pen and paper to draw, hoping to get her to thin and sharpen one side of the board.
But Xiao Yun'er didn't seem to be willing to continue. She wrapped the vines around the board and threw it up. Then she hit it a few times. As if she was tired of it, she threw the board aside casually and lowered her head to play with the yo-yo.
Obviously, to her, this is just a very ordinary piece of wood, and it has no fun at all.
Also, how could whipping a hard wooden board be more interesting than playing with a ball? Jingyuan had to find a way to get her interested again.
If you want a person to do something he doesn't like, either he is forced to do something that he cannot resist, or he can get paid for it.
The truth is very simple, if you hire a carpenter to work, you have to pay them wages. If you don’t have money, whoever does the work for you will not owe you anything.
Either you are an official, you are an official, and he is a citizen, so you can use your power to force others to work for you.
There is no hierarchy between him and Xiao Yun'er. Although their relationship has become much closer today, the relationship is not so deep that if you call me, I must listen to you without asking for anything in return.
The two of them can be considered good friends at best now.
Jingyuan thought for a while and took out the gold necklace and luminous pearls from his travel bag.
If you want someone to help, then give a gift.
He had already wiped the gold necklace clean with a handkerchief. It was a very beautifully crafted necklace, with a warm and delicate texture, luxurious but not ostentatious. The gold, red gold and platinum were entangled together, forming an exquisite necklace.
hydrangeas.
Among the jewelry he picked up from 902, this necklace was the most beautiful and the most exquisitely crafted in his opinion.
At first glance, people are amazed by the exquisite craftsmanship. The gold wires of slightly different colors are painted into flower patterns on a small ball with a diameter of less than 2 centimeters.
If this was handmade, I don't know how much effort would have gone into weaving and winding those hair-thin gold threads into such an exquisite flower hydrangea.
Jing Yuan gently shook the necklace, and the interlocking gold chains collided, making a sound like wind chimes.
The gold shines brightly, slightly dazzling.
He grabbed one end of the necklace and deliberately shook it in front of Xiao Yun'er's eyes.
Jingle Bell.
She was like a fish on the bait, her eyes tightly caught by the gold necklace.
Great, she's interested.
Fishing requires a long-term approach, but don't give her the jewelry all at once, otherwise she will soon lose interest once she gets the item.
In fact, many times, the things you don't get are the best.
It's like playing a mobile card drawing game. Before you draw, your inner expectations are very high, and you want to add money on impulse. But after you draw, your mood will be much more stable.
Keeping distance is beautiful. Once you get it, it’s not so easy to cherish it.
So Jingyuan put the necklace away and hid it before Xiao Yun'er took any action.
Just let her take a look and get greedy. If it's too arrogant and she grabs it, there's really nothing you can do about it.
She had to understand the concept of "exchange". Jingyuan took out a pen and paper to draw a stick figure, trying to make her understand what he meant.
As long as she helps deal with the piece of eggplant wood, she can get the necklace.
Jingyuan placed the wooden board and the necklace together, pointed at the wooden board, then pointed at the necklace, and showed her the little figure painting over and over again.
She seemed to understand that this necklace was not for nothing, so she wrapped the wooden board with vines and glanced at Jingyuan.
Jingyuan nodded quickly and said that was it. He used pictures to express the effect he wanted. If there was a mistake in Xiao Yun'er's understanding, he would shake the necklace to make her pause.
Jingyuan became a customer of Party A, Xiao Yun'er became an employee of Party B, Party A made demands, and Party B modified the product effects.
It was obvious that Xiao Yun'er was very impatient and wanted to throw the board away several times, but every time Jingyuan shook the necklace, she endured it and worked silently.
Finally, after more than an hour of design modification and polishing, the wooden board turned into a machete.
It has a very rough shape, half a meter long, and a palm wide. The blade has a slight curvature, and the black-gold edge is cold and gleaming. There are no unnecessary decorations or patterns. It is thick and simple, but very powerful.
Jingyuan jumped up, handed the gold necklace to Xiao Yun'er's hand, and stretched out his hand to hold the handle of the knife.
The handle of the knife is a little too smooth and the friction is not very good, but it is not a problem. Just tear off a few sheets and wrap them around it and it will be fine.
He couldn't wait to test the knife, found a fallen wooden stool at random, raised the blade, held it with both hands, and chopped with all his strength.
A green light flashed, and the backrest of the wooden stool was split into pieces and scattered into wooden strips.
Jingyuan picked up one of the wooden sticks and observed that the split was not very smooth, and the second half was broken, but he hardly felt any obstruction during the entire chopping process.
Then he tried to split stones and steel pipes. Since his strength was greatly improved now, he successfully split the stones and steel pipes.
The quality of the eggplant knife is very good. Even when it is used to cut steel pipes, there are no gaps left and it is as smooth as ever.
This knife can be used to chop firewood, chop zombies, open roads, change the direction of the back and blade, and can also be used as a hammer. It is simply a multi-functional machete, all thanks to the unreasonable hardness of eggplant wood.
So far, the only thing Jingyuan knows that can cause harm to the eggplant tree is Xiao Yun'er's vines.
He finally got the machete he had always wanted. He really wanted to find a rapeseed field right now and go in and wreak havoc.
Looking back at Xiao Yun'er, she was fiddling with the necklace back and forth and seemed to like it very much.
Jingyuan took out the luminous pearl again and placed it in front of her.
He took off his coat and covered her and his head. The night pearl glowed faintly in the dim environment.
She held the gold necklace and stared blankly at the scene, with fluorescence imprinted in her jewel-like eyes, a dreamlike beauty.
She suddenly held Jingyuan's hand, her cold little hands clenched tightly, but her eyes were still staring at Ye Mingzhu. Jingyuan could feel the joy and shock in her heart, as if she had to hold another person's hand.
Only then can I believe that the picture in front of me is real.
