Li Xiao was walking on the streets of Suzhou City.
I saw low-rise houses scattered in rows and rows.
The vendors and shops on both sides also opened their doors early, and there were constant shouts.
The streets were crowded with people shopping, driving cars, and people escorting goods, making it a bustling scene.
It turns out that Li Xiao entered Washington DC as soon as he traveled to this world, but he didn't know much about Suzhou City. After asking around a lot, he found a blacksmith shop in the east corner of the city.
"What, you want to make a throwing knife?"
When the blacksmith Master Wang, who had a cheeky face and a muscular body, heard Li Xiao's request, he couldn't help but be stunned.
There are people who come here to make kitchen knives, spatulas, planers, and door knockers, but this is the first time I have heard of the requirement to make throwing knives.
"Yes, I wonder if this is convenient for you?"
When Li Xiao said this, he was a little worried. He wondered if there would be any control over knives in this era.
After a slight hesitation, Blacksmith Wang pinched his beard, winked and said, "As long as you have money, you can make anything here. Flying knives require a lot of copper coins."
Li Xiao's mouth twitched.
A copper coin? According to the purchasing power of the Ming Dynasty, it was equivalent to more than 460 Chinese coins. However, he only had a total of 150 copper coins on him from beginning to end. How could he do that?
In my memory, the rest of the money was spent with Tang Bohu and the four of them, going out and drinking.
Li Xiao begged with some embarrassment: "Master Wang, can it be cheaper?"
"It's very difficult to make a flying knife. If it's less than usual, I won't do it." Blacksmith Wang waved his hand and said straightforwardly.
After hearing this, Li Xiao was originally ready to leave angrily.
But when I turned around, I took a quick look.
I discovered that there were many scrolls posted on the walls of Blacksmith Wang's house. When I looked at the characters on the scrolls, they were all female, or posing or exposing themselves.
It is a vivid picture of the Spring Palace, and it is specially framed with a gold frame, which is enough to show the interests and hobbies of this blacksmith Wang.
A shameless idea was born in Li Xiao's mind.
"Master Wang, I'm short on money, so that's all I have left. If it's not enough, can I make up for it with paintings?"
"Painting, what painting?"
Li Xiao pointed to the room behind him: "It's those paintings on your wall."
"Can you draw a spring palace painting of similar quality to that?" Blacksmith Wang looked up and down at Li Xiao's servant outfit again, somewhat unconvinced.
Just kidding, as the fifth most talented person in Jiangnan, the identity set by the system is that he is good at erotic pictures, okay?
"no problem."
"Okay, if you can really draw it, you don't need more than a hundred dollars. You just need a painting that suits my heart." Blacksmith Wang rubbed his hands together, looking like he was thirsty for a painting.
Just talk.
Paper, ink, pen and inkstone are all readily available.
The drawing paper was spread out, and Li Xiao held up the pen and waved it with his wrist. Li Xiao felt as if he was being assisted by a god, as if the usage of the brush and the outline of the character lines were all stored in his mind, completely natural.
Not long after, the scene of a charming beauty taking a bath in a basin appeared on the page.
As for the effect of the painting, it can be seen from the way that Blacksmith Wang hugged the scroll from left to right.
Li Xiao also looked at his spread hands in disbelief.
They say that with three hundred and sixty, one will be number one, and he really believes it now! At this time, he is actually a little grateful that the system has set up this identity for him. If we really want to talk about market demand, his
The painting is no worse than Tang Bohu's landscape painting.
In the end, Blacksmith Wang confiscated Li Xiao's money and asked him to come to the shop to get the throwing knife after three days.
...
Three days later, Li Xiao got his wish and got the refined flying knife from Blacksmith Wang.
The handle of the knife in his hand, the thin and sharp blade, and the tip of the knife flashed with a faint cold light. It was indeed a good knife, and Li Xiao couldn't put it down to play with it.
Return to Washington.
Li Xiao happened to meet Tang Bohu head-on, with two dark circles under his eyes and a nosebleed.
Although he looked miserable, he looked inexplicably happy.
"Brother Bohu, what's wrong with you?"
"Hey, it's unlucky to say that the affair between Sister Shiliu and I was discovered by Wu Zhuangyuan. I didn't expect that one of the five great talents in Jiangnan would be reduced to this situation. It's sad, it's sad. Don't let me see Wu Zhuangyuan again next time.
No. 1 pick, if you see him again, you will definitely blow his eyes out!"
Just as Tang Bohu finished speaking, a loud thunder-like sound suddenly came from the yard.
"Who is talking bad about me!"
Wu Zhuangyuan didn't know when he came out of the yard again, glaring and pinching his waist, as if he wanted to beat someone.
Tang Bohu stuck out his tongue and hurried away quickly.
Li Xiao also cast a sympathetic look at Tang Bohu.
...
Since Li Xiao became the housekeeper of the Washington Mansion, he naturally did not need to work hard like Tang Bohu doing odd jobs every day in his spare time to help take care of things in the mansion.
Li Xiao also did not forget to practice Xiao Li's flying knife.
Because in addition to winning Qiuxiang's heart, there is also a second task, which is to win the first place in the weapon spectrum. Naturally, this requires defeating the scholar's life-threatening sword and the Overlord's Spear. In addition to finding opportunities, it is also important to improve one's own strength.
He had a huge reliance on him, so of course Li Xiao didn’t dare to slack off.
Although you have already obtained the secrets, you still need to practice continuously to improve faster and improve your proficiency.
He deliberately dug out a piece of wood from the kitchen and cut it into oblate wood chips. Then he asked Qiuxiang for some rouge. According to the depth of the color, he smeared several ring areas in sequence from the middle to the edge. It was very smooth.
It's clear.
Li Xiao used this target and nailed it to the tree trunk. Then he stood twenty meters away and aimed at the throwing knife in the center to practice his accuracy, but he deliberately reduced the force when drawing the knife, otherwise
No matter how many targets there are, they will be smashed by him!
However, what he didn't expect was that being attracted by Li Xiao's invention, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Dong Sixiang all participated in the throwing knife project.
In Washington, the life of the maids was already very boring and lacked leisure and entertainment activities. This activity of throwing throwing knives came into being, which greatly stimulated their interest, which in turn attracted the maids in the mansion.
People. When everyone has free time, they get together and compete with each other to see who can throw more accurately.
Not only were these servants playing with great enthusiasm, some even saw that in private, Taishi Hua and Mrs. Hua were very happy with this activity. They also sent people to build several targets, and they were having a great time playing.
It seemed that because of Li Xiao's appearance, the entire Washington DC became jubilant for a while.
