Feng Chi called Feng Yi over today, mainly to tell him about the ancestor worship ceremony in the ancestral hall.
After finishing the matter, the invitation letter was also given to Feng Yi. After completing the task forced by the old man, and chatting for a while about some heavy topics within the Feng family, Feng Chi stopped talking and turned to share some more details with Feng Yi.
Something easy.
After finally getting together, we can't just talk about trivial things.
As soon as Feng Chi put aside the topic of the Feng family and talked about what he was interested in, Feng Chi switched to excitement mode in the blink of an eye.
From the entertainment industry gossip, he talked about his recent participation in several variety shows.
When Feng Yi saw him talking about these things, his face lit up and he couldn't help but smile.
These things in the entertainment industry are indeed more suitable for Feng Chi. It can be heard that Feng Chi is really serious about his career.
If you encounter setbacks in the future, can't survive, and get bored, you can go home and continue to be a rich second generation.
After Feng Chi's parents gained a certain degree of autonomy, their careers gradually separated from the Yangcheng Feng family.
Especially Fengchifu.
"After recording the show, some people blocked me and asked me to help grab a can of facial mask. My mom's stores were doing great business! They were full of reservations! Branches in other first-tier cities were also arranged. The beauty and skin care brand she founded
The brand situation is very good... Hey brother, have you used up the facial mask I gave you last time? Tell me when you have!" Feng Chi said.
"Ahem, there's still a little more." Feng Yi didn't use the mask himself, but gave it to the housekeeper.
"I have so many things to worry about today that I forgot about it. I will bring you a can next time! There aren't many, but I can still get you a can. That facial mask is amazing! The demand is completely outstripping the supply right now!"
"Can't the output keep up now?" Feng Yi asked.
"There is no way, there are restrictions on raw materials, and the purchase quantity is limited." When it comes to this, Feng Chi has nothing to do.
"Raw materials? You mean the sub-line of the Ancestor Factory?"
"Yes, the important ingredient in that god-level facial mask is that active substance. Only the Ancestral Factory in the world has it. It is their patented product. My mother was lucky enough to get a share of it."
Feng Chi was happy to share this information with Feng Yi.
"You don't know, every batch of the production line is snatched up by major top brands as soon as it comes out... That's not right. To be precise, they are all booked before they are produced! Those who rush for the goods are all the world's top brands.
Brand! Compared with our small fish and shrimps, those are great white sharks! Ordinary people can't compete with them at all. So my mother said that it was completely luck to successfully sign a contract with the ancestor factory. By chance, I grabbed a quota, even if every batch
I don’t get many points, but I’m lucky enough compared to others.”
"The output is still too small." Feng Yi said.
"Brother, you don't understand this aspect. The technical content here is too high, and it's understandable that the production can't keep up." Feng Chi looked very understanding.
"...Oh." Feng Yi didn't know what expression to put on.
Thinking that Feng Yi didn't approve, Feng Chi continued to explain: "Don't believe it! I heard from my mother that many people have tried to crack this active substance, but they just can't produce it! Even if it is a similar product, its efficacy is inferior.
Qianli! To say copycats are pirated is an exaggeration!”
Feng Yi: "..." Silently drank water.
Feng Chi: "So, the ancestor factory is the ancestor factory! Even if it is a sub-line product, it cannot be cracked by ordinary people! This is technology, technology, seal, lock!"
The last four words are so sonorous and powerful.
Feng Yi: "...Hmm."
Feng Chi: "Do you really understand?"
Feng Yi: "Yes, technical blockade."
Seeing that Feng Yi really understood, Feng Chi was satisfied.
Looking at Feng Yi's face, it was not rough at all. He felt that Feng Yi had used a facial mask. Feng Chi was even happier:
"That's right. We public figures may be secretly photographed even if we go for a walk on the street. We must maintain a good image. I participated in a program last week, and a high-definition camera was used to film my face! Fortunately, I have the confidence!"
He said and touched his face.
Feng Chi said: "You can feel it yourself, right?"
Feng Yi thought about the butler's face, and it seemed that there were indeed fewer wrinkles.
"It is effective." Feng Yi nodded.
"That's right! I don't mean to brag about my product, it just works! Apart from being expensive and the quantity is small, there is nothing wrong with it!"
Feng Yi quietly listened to Feng Chi and continued to blow out the facial mask.
The output couldn't keep up, and there was nothing he could do about it.
After all, he only has two poison glands.
The composition of the venom coming out of both sides is different.
If only one of the venoms can provide raw materials for this sub-line product, the output will be even less!
If no one can break this "technical blockade", they can only look forward to the technological upgrade of the ancestor factory to increase production capacity.
But it also takes time.
In short, in the short term, the status quo can only be maintained.
The chat with Feng Chi didn't last long. Now Feng Chi has a tight schedule. His career has just started and he is very busy.
After returning home from Feng Chi's secret base, Feng Yi went to the study on the second floor and threw the invitation on the table.
Then he took out two documents from a nearby bookcase drawer.
One was investigated by Xiao B, and the other was investigated with the help of the housekeeper.
The two pieces of information are about the people who have tricked him and the many hidden information behind them.
He has not taken any action. In addition to the limitations of various factors on his own side, there is also the fact that the investigation is slightly more difficult.
It didn't take long for Feng Yi to get these two documents.
When the old man takes action, even if he deals with a small person or a small matter, he will try his best to do it perfectly.
After decades of ups and downs, Feng Yi had already expected that he could be so cautious and ruthless.
Feng Yi put the two documents back into the drawer and glanced at the invitation on the table.
After so many years, the old man is still like that. He likes to talk to himself and change his own scripts, without looking at whether others are willing to act with him!
Just as Feng Chi guessed, Feng Yi also believed that the old man wanted to use this ancestral hall to worship his ancestors to consolidate his power and exert pressure.
However, there are some secrets behind this that Feng Chi doesn't know, so he can't understand who the old man is targeting.
The Feng family in Yangcheng, which is gradually out of control, is of course one of the old man's goals.
But it's not the main goal.
Feng Yi knew that the old man wanted to show off his muscles in front of him.
Even though one is old, the power, wealth and connections in one's hands are still very tempting to many people.
However, to disappoint the old man, Feng Yi had no intention of following his script.
The old man spent so much energy and money to worship ancestors in the ancestral hall and invited clan members from all over the world, so he must have some agenda.
Feng Yi also wanted to use this as a test.
Feng Yi took out two copper coins from the collection box. One he had bought in an antique shop before, and the other he had just bought for a large sum of money from an auction.
The newly photographed zodiac coin cost money, and after the housekeeper studied and recorded it, he let Feng Yi keep it for himself.
The zodiac coins in Feng Yi's hand include not only these two, but also the one he wears.
The one he wore himself had undergone a two-in-one change on the first day he met the butler, so it was thicker than the other two.
Feng Yi picked up the thicker zodiac sign he was wearing and spent money.
He couldn't understand before and didn't know why the two copper coins changed like this. Now he understands.
The zodiac coins that are put together, the one from the housekeeper, were specially made by my aunt. The energy material attached to it and the specialized layer on the surface of the copper coin are different from other zodiac coins.
When this special zodiac coin is very close to another zodiac coin that has the same energy homology, a strong suction force will be generated. The specialized layers on the surface of the two copper coins will instantly absorb the energy.
Under stimulation, they merge into one and become what the steward calls a "key".
This is the identification to enter the secret room of the ancestral home.
Of course, Feng Yi is still far from the critical point of his life. There is no need to make the next "key" before his death is reached.
What he wants to make now is the kind of zodiac money the Feng family gives to children.
Each generation of successors will make the kind of zodiac signs with "paste" to spend money on.
Making zodiac signs and spending money to give them to children is a custom passed down by the Feng family.
To this day, some people may continue this custom, and some may not.
Feng Yi planned to cast a batch of zodiac signs to spend money.
Feng Yi still had to ask the housekeeper for advice on this matter.
When asked about the information about spending money according to the zodiac sign, the housekeeper who was watering the flowers immediately put down what he was doing and excitedly took Feng Yi to the tea room to discuss it in detail.
After pouring two cups of tea, the butler did not directly talk about the casting. Instead, he talked to Feng Yi about the information he knew about the Feng family's zodiac signs and how to spend money.
"Not every family can receive this kind of special zodiac money. People who have zodiac money in their hands may not belong to them from the beginning. It may be passed down from their ancestors."
The history is too long, and we don’t know how many times we have been divided into clans and clans. The development of the times has also brought about too many changes.
Nowadays, some members of the clan are developing in China, while others are living abroad, and they don’t even know where they live.
In addition to the clansmen mentioned by the old man, there are also some people who may not have the surname Feng, but they also have those special, homologous genes.
Now, not everyone in the Feng clan can receive zodiac money.
"Just like Ms. Feng, your aunt, if she meets a suitable child, she will give him a zodiac sign and spend money. If he doesn't meet him, he can't give it away. Another kind is that the relationship is not good. Although he can get in touch, but because of the internal
If you are conflicted and deliberately reduce contact, the other party may not accept the money you give as a gift." said the housekeeper.
Feng Yi understood this.
For example, the relationship between the Feng family and my aunt in Yangcheng is so bad that they don't move around very much.
"Actually, as far as I know, it's not necessarily only children born in the Year of the Snake who wear zodiac signs and spend money." The housekeeper said, "No matter what zodiac sign or year they were born, you can give them as gifts."
Seeing Feng Yi's surprised expression, the butler smiled, took a sip of tea, and continued.
"I once learned from Ms. Feng that there were more than a dozen zodiac coins she gave to the Feng family in Yangcheng, but now it seems that those were either discarded or placed somewhere unknown and not worn.
"Mr. Feng doesn't like these, but children born in the Year of the Snake wear zodiac signs and spend money. This is what your ancestors of the Feng family in Yangcheng requested, so in the end I only kept this."
In the Yangcheng Feng family, only those born in the Year of the Snake like Feng Yi wear it. Other peers who were not born in the Year of the Snake have not received zodiac money. Or they have received it but do not wear it.
Children born in the Year of the Snake have a greater chance of becoming successors. Even if they don't know the core secrets, Mohu's experience and consciousness are passed down from generation to generation.
Mr. Feng doesn't know the secrets of the clan, and he doesn't like them either. It can be said that he is very repulsive. In his opinion, spending money on these zodiac signs represents a kind of right within the clan. But he has no such right.
"Not everyone's zodiac signs cast by spending money will be recognized by the clan. Of course, Mr. Feng can cast some zodiac signs and spend money, but other clan members will not recognize them." The housekeeper said slowly and authentically.
Feng Yi became curious and asked, "How do you identify other clan members?"
The housekeeper shook his head, "I don't know about that."
Feng Yi was silent for a moment and expressed his thoughts.
"The old man built another ancestral hall and sent out invitations to all the clan members at home and abroad to come and participate in the ancestor worship ceremony. He also invited me. I thought I would use this clan gathering to see how many people recognize this."
"Not everyone knows it. It depends on whether they have learned the identification method from their elders. Times have changed," the steward said.
"Ok, I know."
Feng Yi understood what the steward meant.
In modern society, people's ideas are different. The power of a clan leader, patriarch, or eldest son is not that great. At most, they can be feudal patriarchs like Mr. Feng, but this is limited to a local family. People in other places may not necessarily give them face.
of.
Feng Yi didn't expect to get much help from other clan members. Regardless of whether those clan members knew how to identify the zodiac signs and spend money, or whether they recognized Feng Yi as the coin miner, it had little impact on Feng Yi's career.
He is living well now. He still has money.
It would be better if I could trouble the old man during the ancestor worship ceremony.
Feng Yi played with a zodiac coin and watched it flipping between his fingers.
The layer of "puff" on the surface of the zodiac sign has certain benefits for people who carry the same homologous special gene.
It won’t be particularly obvious, but the benefits are definitely there. Maybe it’s strengthening the body to a certain extent, maybe it’s stimulating talent in a certain direction. I can’t say for sure because of genes, but it’s a positive impact anyway.
As we age, this effect diminishes until it is almost non-existent.
If Feng Yi wanted to make such zodiac signs, he had to coat the surface of these zodiac signs with a layer of "paste".
"I know all that, now let's talk about coining." Feng Yi looked across the tea table, "Do you have the formula in your hand?"
The zodiac money is not a copper coin made of pure copper, it is a copper alloy with the most suitable ratio.
It uses pure copper as the base and injects several other elements in proportion. There are also a variety of precious metals in it.
The proportions of these elements have also been explored from generation to generation, and the current optimal proportions have been obtained.
In other words, the alloy composed of this ratio has the fastest "patching" speed, is more stable, and is energy-saving.
Use the least energy to produce the fastest and most stable "batter"!
Of course the butler had the recipe, so he copied it from his notes and asked Feng Yi to make a copy as well.
This is an “ancestral recipe” that can be passed down!
The steward actively took over the matter of minting coins.
"It costs money to cast zodiac signs. The quantity can be larger at one time. Save it first and take it out as you go. It can be used for decades." The housekeeper suggested.
"Well, I think so too." Feng Yi said.
Since it costs money to make zodiac signs, just make more at one time and put them away. There is no shortage of money anyway. The ones that are no longer needed can be melted back into the furnace.
When the copper coins are made, take out as many as you need for "processing".
How about a dozen or twenty coins at the beginning?
In the initial coin trading, Feng Yi was unfamiliar with the skills and was afraid that he would not be able to trade coins if there were too many.
What should I do if the plate is uneven?
It will make future successors laugh at you.
So, just use the right amount according to your ability.
At that time, you can observe the ancestor worship ceremony in the ancestral hall and see how many zodiac signs you need to spend money on. If you are short of money, you can do it next time.
However, Feng Yi felt that there might not be many people bringing their children to attend the ancestor worship ceremony.
If some clan members no longer have this custom, there is no need to send them away.
"I will prepare the casting. Just confirm the pattern." The housekeeper looked at Feng Yi, his eyes seemed to be shining, "If you don't have a definite pattern, I can also provide reference!"
"...You said." Feng Yi said.
"I would like to ask first, when you spend money to cast the zodiac signs, do you choose a single zodiac sign for the pattern, or do you draw all twelve zodiac signs?"
"Put the whole painting up." Feng Yi said.
According to ancestral traditions, children born in the Year of the Snake have a greater chance of becoming the successor, but it is not absolute, and the zodiac sign does not play a decisive role in spending money. It does not mean that only those with coins can become the next generation.
An heir.
Then you don’t need to stick to a certain zodiac sign, of course all twelve zodiac signs are required!
The housekeeper thought for a while and said: "You can do this, one is made of the twelve zodiac signs, and the other is the snake version of a single zodiac sign."
Feng Yi thought about it and thought that this would work, "Then draw two kinds of pictures. Does my aunt do the same thing?"
Butler: "No."
Feng Yi: "Then..."
Butler: "She not only made two types, she also made several special models! The traditional pattern is to respect the ancestors, the single zodiac snake year model is to respect customs, and the special design model is to satisfy her own creative desire."
Feng Yi was surprised: "There are also designs?"
After another thought, it seems to work.
Spending money on the zodiac sign itself is a kind of money for self-entertainment, but in the final analysis, for him, spending money on the zodiac sign is actually just a carrier.
Even if there is no clear pattern on it, even if it does not look like a coin, it does not affect its function.
Even spending money according to the zodiac is just a later form.
Perhaps a long time ago, when there was no such thing as zodiac money, similar functions may have been performed in other forms.
For example, some kind of gem, some kind of bone, shell...
"Most of your aunt's designs are given to her children. After all, she doesn't have a good relationship with the Yangcheng Feng family. Even if they are sent to her, they may not be taken seriously, and they may even be thrown away like garbage. She also has them in her hands.
I will keep some of them and give them away one day when I meet a destined junior somewhere else in the world."
The housekeeper gave Feng Yi advice: "You can do this too!"
Feng Yi asked him curiously: "My aunt spent money making the zodiac signs. Did you participate in the pattern design?"
The butler said disappointedly: "No."
But soon, the butler's eyes flashed with excitement again, sincerely and warmly, and he looked at Feng Yi:
“I’m eager to be a part of your zodiac spending money production project!”
Feng Yi: "...Welcome to join."
Originally, I only planned to refer to the zodiac spending patterns of my predecessors, but seeing that the housekeeper cared so much, I could also add some other ideas. Anyway, the zodiac spending money is just a carrier, and Feng Yi didn't care that much about the patterns.
So, next, the housekeeper actively gave Feng Yi advice. After discussion, he finalized the general direction and came up with three models first——
1 traditional presbyopia model (antique zodiac model)
