Chapter 230 Looks like an emperor (4500 words)

Author: Bachelor in White

West Market is the largest market in Daqian, covering an area of ​​nearly 2,000 acres, with more than 30,000 shops of various sizes.

Yan Jiji, who recently won the gold medal from the "Tiangong Craftsman" and is already known as "the best craftsman in the world", has his "Jixiang Iron Shop" located here.

Chimneys made of red bricks stand in rows, and columns of thick smoke rise straight up.

Buckets of briquettes were poured into the stove for free, and the strong workers were shirtless, sweating profusely, and busy in the workshop.

In a corner of the workshop, Yan Jiji and several other craftsmen gathered in a circle, looking solemnly at the pages of drawings spread out on the table.

There are strange-shaped instruments drawn on the drawings, some big, some small, and some tooth-shaped. Except for Yan Jiji, the other craftsmen said some said they were weapons, and some said they were used as decoration on the walls.

"Stop guessing, this is an order from the Ministry of War, get me excited! Don't wait any longer!" Yan Jiji's eyes flashed, he shouted to stop the speculations of several craftsmen, pressed the drawing with his palm, and lowered his voice: "Some It’s better not to know about things.”

Perhaps the other craftsmen couldn't see it, but Yan Jiji saw the clues. When put together, these "parts" seemed to be some kind of siege equipment that had never been seen before.

There are experts hidden in the Ministry of War, Yan Jiji thought.

"Okay!"

"Lao Yan is like this. As soon as he starts working, he doesn't recognize his relatives."

"Master Zheng, he probably still needs to recognize him."

"Hey! Now I have to call you Prince Zheng!"

"Yes, yes, you have to call me Prince Zheng!"

The workshop burst into laughter.

Since Zheng Xiu was awarded the title of "Red King", Yan Jiji's workshop has transformed from the property of the richest man to the property of the prince, with orders pouring in. No, Yan's workshop, which has never been involved in the armed forces, has received an order from the Ministry of War for the first time. .

"Yes," a young man, who has been studying with Yan Jiji for five years, is called Xiao Tong by others. He is a smart man. He looked at the boxes piled in the corner. They were the boxes that Prince Zheng left last month. After seeing the order, he casually asked: "Master Yan, the batch of unopened sword embryos ordered by the prince are ready. Should we deliver them to the prince's house?"

"Okay, then you send it to the master."

Yan Jiji didn't even raise his head, still thinking about the "siege equipment", so he asked Xiao Tong to drive to deliver the goods.

Soon, several boxes of fully sealed weapons were loaded into the truck, and Xiao Tong personally drove them to the prince's mansion.

After Xiao Tong left, Yan Jiji clapped his hands and asked the more than a hundred craftsmen to stop what they were doing and speak loudly.

"Everyone, listen up, let's put down the other orders first and go all out to catch up with the order from the Ministry of Engineering and War! This is the top priority. Once this order is completed, our prince will have face in front of the Holy Master in the future!"

"okay!"

More than a hundred craftsmen agreed in unison, and their voices shook the roof.

Jixiang Iron Shop has entered a busy rhythm again.

After a while, little Tong, who was out delivering goods, came running back.

"Master, Master, I'm back with a new order for you!"

Xiao Tong said cheerfully.

Ding ding ding!

Yan Jiji was frantically tapping the red-hot iron with a hammer, and replied without raising his head: "What order did you take?"

"It's said to be a cat nest and a batch of small bronze mirrors."

"What? Cat's Nest? Bronze Mirror?" Yan Jiji was angry when he heard this: "I just said that in the past two months, I have been working hard to catch up with the orders from the Ministry of Engineering and War! All other orders have been delayed! Besides, what is a Cat's Nest? Bronze Mirror? You You can even knock me out and ask me to take action?"

"...It's an order from Prince Zheng. He said, 'Please come to my house, Lao Yan.' Since you're not free, Master..."

"Xiao Meng, Xiao Zuo..." Yan Jiji called the names of a dozen craftsmen in succession, and slapped the hammer into the water, making a "chi" sound. Yan Jiji put the small hammer on his waist,

Succinctly: "Let's go!"

Xiao Tong was stunned: "Master, didn't you mean the list from the Ministry of War..."

"What a hurry!" Yan Jiji rushed out with a group of elite craftsmen in a hurry, saying as he walked: "Whose order can be as urgent as the prince's order?"

…

Yan Jiji and his party rushed to Chiwang Mansion carrying large and small bags.

After the announcement, Yan Jiji went straight to the backyard.

As soon as he arrived in the backyard, he opened his eyes and saw a strange scene.

The newly promoted Red King, Prince Zheng, who is inferior to one person and superior to millions of people, is sitting in the garden, holding an orange cat in his arms, gently combing the orange cat's hair, scratching its back and scratching its itch.

"Your Majesty, didn't you say that there is an urgent order? Why are you so busy trying to catch such a useless cat like you?"

The orange cat raised its head coldly, expressionless.

"Hush! Hush! Hush!"

Zheng Xiu quickly raised an index finger to his mouth, ignored Yan Jiji, but lowered his head and said to the orange cat: "Meow, don't be offended, my people are ignorant."

Yan Jiji and all the elite craftsmen looked confused: "?"

"Meow."

The orange cat lowered its head again, lying on Zheng Xiu's lap, squinting and enjoying the caress from the prince.

Zheng Xiu whispered comfort, as if talking to the orange cat.

Yan Jiji looked even more confused.

The prince behaves as if he can understand what a cat is saying?

Moreover, the prince's attitude towards the cat is as weird as waiting for his biological father.

After a while, Yan Jiji lamented that after becoming a prince, he had to be different and puzzling.

After a while.

Zheng Xiu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and brought Yan Jiji to the main compartment.

"Lao Yan, please build a cat nest here."

"Cat nest? For that thing?" Yan Jiji stared and blew his beard.

Zheng Xiu quickly covered Yan Jiji's mouth. He knew that Yan Jiji was arrogant and arrogant, so he quickly explained ambiguously: "Old Yan, you may not understand some of the things I said, and you may not believe them if you do. Xiaofeng Meow is definitely not an ordinary orange cat.

, in short, don’t talk nonsense, and build a top-notch cat house for me.”

After confirming that Yan Jiji understood, Zheng Xiu let go of Yan Jiji's mouth.

"My lord, are you sure?"

"OK." Zheng Xiu nodded vigorously.

"Then... how to reach the top level?"

Zheng Xiu thought for a while, then took a slight breath: "The emperor among cats."

understood.

Follow the specifications of the King of Cats.

Yan Jiji has many questions in his mind.

But he knew that the master was not crazy, so he nodded and agreed to this strange errand.

Maybe this is the happiness of a rich prince?

Yan Jiji took off the hammer from his waist and threw out rows of nails.

Ding ding ding ding!

In an instant, a row of nails fell neatly on the four walls.

Yan Jiji was about to start the "Auspicious Workshop". Zheng Xiu pulled Yan Jiji and took out a blueprint from his arms. The blueprint was a small oval bronze mirror. The bronze mirror was simple in style and didn't look too special. Yan

When Jiji was wondering why he had to do this extremely simple job, Zheng Xiu added a few words. When Yan Jiji heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, he patted his thigh and said, "Wonderful!"

"Bronze mirror, don't worry, knock on the cat's nest first." Zheng Xiu blinked and said seriously: "The cat's nest is important. Remember, it must be done according to the specifications of an emperor among cats."

"Okay, Your Majesty."

Yan Jiji agreed, the hammer fell, and the blocks were miraculously knocked out one by one.

Zheng Xiu knew Yan Jiji's rules. He didn't like other people being present during construction. After Yan Jiji opened the "Jixiang Workshop", Zheng Xiu left on his own and waited for completion.

Garden, small pond.

The lotus has just revealed its sharp corners.

"Do you really believe that Xiaofengmiao slipped out from... that place?"

Feng Bei, with his ponytail flying, stood on the arch bridge with his hands behind his back. Hearing the footsteps behind him, Feng Bei frowned and asked.

"Believe it, how can you not believe it?" Zheng Xiu smiled and replied: "The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders."

"I still find it ridiculous."

"After eliminating all the impossibilities, no matter how absurd the rest is, it can only be the answer." Zheng Xiu casually said a famous saying with a solemn look on his face: "If it really comes from that place, it makes me even more worried. Already."
