The competition in front of the palace is called the palace competition, but it takes place in the Green Snake Palace.
The palace is the grand snake-shaped building in the Green Snake Palace.
In front of the temple is the square in front of the building.
The fine blacksmiths who participated in the competition in front of the palace could not enter the Green Snake Palace on the same day.
Some of them are blacksmiths who came back from outside Chubei City to participate in the competition, so when they arrived at the Green Snake Hall, they could stay in the hall for three days to adjust their condition.
Forging also pays attention to condition.
When the condition is good, you can even create the best products at the peak of quality.
But if the condition is poor, a high-quality entry-level product may only produce good products.
And there are still a few days until the day when you can enter the Green Snake Palace.
In the past few days, Qin Shuo had nothing to do and wandered around Chubei City.
He can enter the Green Snake Hall. After the competition in front of the hall, if he can find Qing Yi, he will return to the Fox Clan.
Therefore, he decided to buy some souvenirs for his relatives and friends in the Fox clan, as well as some small gifts for Mei and Lan, who had been following and protecting him.
To use Jiuqu’s money to buy gifts for Jiuqu and his relatives and friends, you need to fill up the “Shameless” skill tree.
Qin Shuo doesn't have enough skill points, so he can only spend his own money.
Is Qin Shuo rich? He really is,
No matter how bad he is, he is still ranked within a hundred people in the Fox clan. He will receive supplies every month.
And he has passed the certification of both high-quality products and high-quality products, and he also gets bonuses.
No matter how bad he is, Qin Shuo is still a top-notch blacksmith in the Li family's blacksmith shop. No matter how poor Li Xiao is, he will still give him some wages.
Therefore, Qin Shuo does not have a lot of money. For example, Qin Shuo cannot afford the five thousand taels spent on certification.
But Qin Shuo still had a little money, so he could still buy some small, worthless gifts for his relatives and friends.
Qin Shuo first bought two jade bracelets for Mei Lan's two bodyguards.
Neither Mei Lan cares about money,
But that was what Qin Shuo had earned through hard work. Qin Shuo used his own blood and sweat to buy the gifts for the two of them, so both of them were touched.
The two of them were still full of deathly aura, but their eyes kept shaking.
From the death aura on both of them, you can imagine the kind of cruel training they went through.
They are gifts from Jiuqu to Qin Shuo. They are extremely loyal to Qin Shuo. This loyalty has nothing to do with feelings, it is just a mechanical command.
But Qin Shuo sent a warmth to their world of iron and blood.
Although this bracelet is very cheap, it is the most sincere gift they have ever received.
Qin Shuo walked around the city. He bought gifts for Long Po, Aunt Mei, Bai Panpan, Caini and even Uncle Bo. His servants also had gifts, including the wolf demon.
What he bought for the wolf demon was a damaged animal trap. It had to be a damaged animal trap, otherwise Qin Shuo was really afraid that the wolf demon would not be able to break free if the wolf demon was so weak.
The last thing I want to do is buy a gift for Jiuqu.
That is his wife, no matter how heartless he is, he must choose her carefully.
Qin Shuo walked through several clothing stores but couldn't find anything he liked.
Chubeicheng is a city of blacksmiths, but jewelry production is not the scope of blacksmiths, so the jewelry in the city can only be considered second-rate at best.
The designs of the jewelry styles are novel and the workmanship is fine, but they always lack a little bit of meaning.
Qin Shuo was also helpless. He couldn't buy some swords and swords for Jiuqu, so he could only find high-quality products among defective products, as long as they could express his feelings.
After walking all day, it was evening,
Qin Shuo walked into the last clothing store on the street. He didn't look at the clothes, but he still wanted to buy accessories.
He walked to the jewelry table in a few steps and called the receptionist.
The girl looked like she was in her twenties. She warmly received Qin Shuo.
She showed enough professionalism that even if Qin Shuo picked one thing after another and dismissed one after another, she didn't show boredom.
Qin Shuo looks at jewelry with the eyes of a blacksmith.
The craftsmanship used to make jewelry is not top-notch, so he just wants to find traces of the craftsmen's care and thought.
But these jewelry were more like assembly line production. Qin Shuo saw the tackiness of workmanship for the sake of eating, but could not see the intention of the craftsmen.
Qin Shuo pushed away a piece of jewelry and was about to look at the next piece when a voice came from behind him.
"Why are you here again? How many times have I told you? If I want to purchase goods, I will naturally come to you. You don't have to come to the door yourself."
The person who spoke was the store owner, a middle-aged man who looked a bit bookish.
Standing in front of the shop owner was a girl in plain clothes. The girl was in her teens, with an ordinary appearance, but a look of urgency.
The girl took out a hairpin and brought it to the shop owner as if holding her own heart.
She said: "Boss, please take a look first. This is a work that took me a month to make. Look at the texture, the gold foil and silver pieces on it. I have carefully designed every inch, and every detail is perfect."
It fits the natural beauty of jade.”
The shop owner is not a mean person. You can see that he is obviously impatient and has no intention of driving the girl away. You can tell that he has a certain level of self-cultivation.
He sighed: "Huanshi, it's not that I won't help you, it's just that your works can't be sold."
He bent down, pulled out a small wooden box from under the counter, and poured it out with a bang.
What the boss poured out were all jewelry, gold and silver products, including gold scarves, armbands, and bracelets.
The jewelry was piled up into a small mountain, and the jewels were there, but they couldn't hide the aura of desolation that they couldn't sell.
The girl named Huan Shi felt heartbroken. These are all her works, and every piece is her hard work.
She was afraid of breaking it no matter how hard she tried, but the boss just poured it out and piled it up in a mess. How could she bear it?
She hurriedly reached out to sort them out, and while sorting them out, she complained: "You hid them all, how could you possibly sell them?"
The boss smiled bitterly: "Hide it? Conscience of heaven and earth, ask your sister Hua, which piece of jewelry you sent me has not been placed in the display cabinet for more than half a month? But if it can't be sold, it won't be sold.
Get out."
The boss looked at the girl who was receiving Qin Shuo,
The girl also smiled bitterly and shrugged. She really tried hard, but she really couldn't sell it.
The boss said again: "Huanshi, you have to think about your uncle. He also needs to eat. The store is only so big. Every position in the display cabinet is a cost. If you always put things that can't be sold,
Jewelry, our income will be reduced, and this is unfair to other craftsmen."
Huan Shi lowered her head and bit her lip. She had really worked hard, and she was very satisfied with every piece of jewelry here.
What exactly is the problem?
Why is no one buying it?
Qin Shuo turned to look at Sister Hua again. He pointed at the girl's jewelry and said, "Girl, can you show me those jewelry?"
Sister Hua was surprised,
She sells jewelry and has lived in this clothing store since she was a child. She is very discerning.
She knew that Qin Shuo was an expert from his observation techniques and angles.
In fact, she no longer expected to be able to do Qin Shuo's business, because in front of experts, Chu Beicheng's jewelry was really not top-notch.
But Qin Shuo actually wants to read Huan Shi’s works?
Isn’t this a Chinese painting master watching a young child’s graffiti?
