Chapter 20: Poor Craftsmanship (1)
At this time, Ji Zhixiao also returned with the carriage that transported tea. Now Ji Zhixiao's riding skills have improved a lot. At least his thighs and buttocks are no longer sore, and he can run. In fact, riding a horse can also make perfect decisions, and he gradually mastered the knocking of the door.
This time, a total of five trucks of tea were brought back. According to the processed tea, it was divided into three levels. The worst tea leaves were basically fried by Ji Zhishan. Although he had detailed operation procedures and requirements, the actual operation level was too poor. In the end, it was the old tea farmers who discussed and taught it together. Ji Zhishan had initially mastered the key points of stir-frying tea.
However, Ji Zhixing didn't go in vain this time. He learned a lot of information during chatting and interaction. Although it seemed very ordinary, it allowed Ji Zhixing to have a clear understanding of the environment he was in! At the same time, he also mastered more about the situation of the Nineteenth Princess! However, the more he understood, the more he became, the more uneasy Ji Zhixing was. The situation of this Nineteenth Princess was not very good!
But now because of Zhu Xiaobao, Ji Zhixing doesn't want to leave. Zhu Xiaobao's mysterious ability makes Ji Zhixing feel that this may be a great opportunity in life! Then he must stay in the 19th Princess's Mansion, which makes Ji Zhixing a little worried! He is not a member of the 19th Princess' tribe, nor is he a relative, and he does not have the awareness of losing his life for Princess 19th! But now he is definitely not able to leave as Zhu Xiaobao! At least he doesn't want to leave in a short period of time!
However, Ji Zhijun's cheerful personality was not reflected on his face! He even had a good life and was already very familiar with several female guards! However, Wu Yue was always lukewarm with Ji Zhijun. Even if Ji Zhijun took the initiative to chat with him, Wu Yue seemed very cold, especially when Ji Zhijun mentioned Zhu Xiaobao, Wu Yue seemed very angry!
In fact, Wu Yue’s most annoyed was because of the competition with the high-speed rail. More than half a month has passed, but she does not have a handy weapon yet, which makes her very worried. Although she is not afraid, she is unwilling to lose to a good weapon!
Wu Yue also knew a little that there was a big fight in the princess's mansion, but what exactly was being done, the female guards who came to summon craftsmen shook their heads and expressed their unclearity! They only knew that a forbidden land was marked in the 19th Princess' Mansion, and they were sometimes responsible for the alert!
Wu Yue is also reunited now. She felt that the forbidden area was related to her martial arts competition, and she felt even more bad. This forbidden area was related to the damn fat man, because the forbidden area was placed south of the nursery! So Wu Yue repeatedly asked his subordinates to speed up and wanted to rush back as soon as possible!
To be honest, Wu Yue is not optimistic about Ji Zhijun's prospects for fried green tea, and even those tea farmers are not optimistic about it. It is just that with the order of Princess Nineteen, everyone is absolutely obeyed! Because Princess Nineteen has another identity, that is, the patriarch of the Wu family!
He rushed to the imperial city and finally arrived at the imperial city. Wu Yue asked Ji Zhijun to send the tea directly to the shop, but he hurried back to the princess's mansion. However, as soon as he entered the princess's mansion, Wu Yue obviously felt something was wrong. There seemed to be a lot fewer people in the mansion! It was a bit deserted. Moreover, the nineteenth princess was not there.
It turned out that the Nineteenth Princess went to the palace to pay her respects to her father who had seen her several times. In fact, those princes and princesses went to pay their respects to the emperor every now and then, saying that they were paying their respects, but in fact they were inquiring about the emperor's physical condition! Even the fourteenth Princess was so arrogant that they went to pay their respects to the emperor honestly! However, few people who could really see the emperor were basically blocked! That is, let the emperor know his filial piety. At the same time, they also took the opportunity to inquire about the emperor's physical condition.
Of course, you have to spend money to find out the situation! The filial piety among the eunuchs cannot be light! If you have thirty or fifty taels of silver, people will ignore you at all! The least you have to be five taels of gold now! Under normal circumstances, the nineteenth princess is 10 taels of gold ingots! The more you pay, the more detailed the news you get, but the nineteenth princess has only this financial power, which is more than enough to compare with the lower ones!
Manager Wu was not there either. He was waiting for Ji Zhijun in the shop, arranging unloading and preparing to open!
Wu Yue was prepared for the absence of General Manager Wu, but what she was most anxious about now was that the forbidden area was making weapons? Could it be that Master Huang was making weapons? But when he went to Master Huang's residence, he saw that Master Huang had not started work at all. Instead, he was in the room with Xiao Ju Bai Rixuan/lewd him, which made Wu Yue very embarrassed, and at the same time he was very annoyed by Master Huang!
But since he was not Master Huang, was he really that fat man? Wu Yue became more and more shocked and became more and more unable to help him! He hurriedly felt the forbidden area!
The guards were on duty around the forbidden area, but Wu Yue was their heads! So of course they were traveling freely, but when Wu Yue saw Wu Lijia, he was a little puzzled. It seemed that Wu Lijia had grown stronger in the past half month, with a red face on his face! The other female guards were also fatter! What the hell is this? Did she feel an illusion after leaving for a long time?
Wu Yue entered the forbidden area in confusion, but the forbidden area was quiet and there was no movement. There was only a super pit! She couldn't understand the cellar furnace and blast furnace inside! There were still several female guards on duty around the pit! It was obvious that the princess's vigilance here was very strict!
But what are you busy with these days? Wu Yue is a little crazy. Fortunately, a female guard gave Wu Yue guidance and a residence was built there, which was actually Zhu Xiaobao’s!
Although Wu Yue was reluctant to see this little fat man again, she still touched him quietly because the princess actually built a separate residence for him, which was very strange in itself!
Wu Yue was even more surprised when he saw the large residence from afar. Even Manager Wu didn't have such treatment! He saw the craftsmen still working on the jingle. A water truck was erected in the small river behind the residence, and a bamboo tube was pulled from the water truck to the residence! Wu Yue really couldn't understand what these strange things were used for!
After listening carefully, the sound of iron thrusting from Dangdang was heard. It was very regular. Who would it be? Could it be Li Blacksmith in the mansion?
Wu Yue approached and almost fainted. Blacksmith Li was there, but was pulling the bellows beside him. Ying Xiuxiu was the one who was thrusting the iron. What annoyed her was that the damn fat man was guiding Ying Xiuxiu behind Ying Xiuxiu to make a blacksmith, and she was thrusting her on Ying Xiuxiu. It was obvious that she was already very skilled, and Ying Xiuxiu was also half-spoken, as if she didn't refuse much!
"Shameless lewd! Those who dare to bully me!" Wu Yue rushed in in furiously, lifting her legs and kicking her...
"Ouch!" With a scream, Zhu Xiaobao flew out from behind Ying Xiuxiu, and rolled several times in a row before he stopped! In other words, Wu Yue took care of Ying Xiuxiu, so he only used three layers of force! Otherwise, Zhu Xiaobao would not be able to get up!
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Wu... Wu Yue? Why are you back? Why are you kicking me?" Zhu Xiaobao sat on the ground and pointed at Wu Yue and shouted loudly.
Since Wu Yue went to Qingliang Mountain, Zhu Xiaobao's treatment has risen sharply. Unexpectedly, as soon as Wu Yue came back, he began to be tortured again! Of course, he was indignant!
"Hmph! Why? What are you doing? How dare you get the advantage of Xiuxiu? Who gives you the courage?" Wu Yue stood there, scolded angrily, then turned to correspond to Xiuxiu and shouted: "What are you doing? Protect well, don't want to be a good person? If you take advantage of this bastard, you don't know how to fight back?"
"Sister Wu Yue! I... I... I... sent me by the princess, we did nothing!" Ying Xiuxiu said a little at a loss. Of course, her face was flushed. After all, Zhu Xiaobao's movements just now were really too big! And she was not reserved enough!
"Princess? The princess sent you here? What are you here? Let him take advantage of it?" Wu Yue was stunned and then lowered his voice and asked.
"Well! Help him... build a treasure sword for you!" Ying Xiuxiu replied stammeringly.
"What? He? Create a treasure knife for me? Old Master Li, is she true?" Wu Yue suspected that she had heard it wrong, so she turned around and asked Li Tiejian.
"I don't know. I'm just responsible for following Xiaobao's arrangements! The other princesses won't let me ask more questions!" Li Blacksmith shook his head and continued to pull the bellows, but from his tone, he could tell that Li Blacksmith was actually very respectful to Zhu Xiaobao, as if he was very satisfied!
"Did you hear it? Wu Yue, let me tell you that this is my house now, so you can go out for me!" Zhu Xiaobao stood up with Ying Xiuxiu's support and said proudly.
"Hmph! What if I don't go out? What can you do to me?" Wu Yue was immediately angry when she heard this. She was driven out by a servant. Then she would be devastated if she said it!
"Hehe! Don't go out? If you don't go out, I won't help you create a treasure sword!" Zhu Xiaobao said with a smug smile.
"Oh? Then---Master Zhu Xiaobao, can you show me the sword you made?" Wu Yue felt a chill when she heard this. Can this guy build a sword? It would be better to say that a sow can climb a tree!
"Okay! Alas, it's true that I'm always bullied by you and want to create a treasure sword for you. I'm so desperate!" Zhu Xiaobao shook his head and walked to the stove, picked up a black one from the iron pier, which should be considered a knife! Then he shook at Wu Yue: "This is what I want to create---the treasure sword!"
"Are you a knife? Is this thing the treasure knife you mentioned?" Wu Yue once again felt like she was about to faint and asked incredible.
"Uh! The craftsmanship is a little bad and has not been finalized, so it doesn't look very good now. In fact, when it is built, it becomes full of brilliance and the air conditioning is so tight that it is guaranteed to be a rare good knife!" Zhu Xiaobao said a little embarrassedly.
"Get out of here! I don't want this kind of broken thing to give it to me!" Wu Yue couldn't help but swear!
"No! OK, Xiuxiu! Stop cooking, we should cook! Today we will eat Dongpo pork! Let's go back and say to General Manager Wu, "The Wu Guard doesn't want this sword, Wu Guard, please continue to build it?" Zhu Xiaobao limped and was supported by Ying Xiuxiu, and he really stopped working! Even Blacksmith Li was stunned and stopped pulling the bellows. He looked at Wu Yue a little at a loss!
