Chapter 235 Model Making
Chapter 235 Model Making
Xie Jin ran out angrily, and Master Xie was also angry. This child didn't live up to his expectations, and he didn't allow others to say anything?
Song Bojian said: "Master Xie, I used to be worse than Xie Jin. He is not that stupid. You just have to encourage him and give him time to work hard. Then my father never scolded me."
Mr. Xie was ashamed: "I was too impatient. I hope Mr. Song can help him more in the future. Thank you in advance."
Song Bojian said shyly: "No, it's my duty. I will persuade him."
Song Bojian sent Mr. Xie away and went to find Xie Jin. He was throwing stones by the river, looking depressed and bored. Song Bojian's heart softened and he said, "Your father is gone."
Xie Jin: "You left me here alone? That's fine, since I'd get scolded at home anyway."
Song Bojian said, "Don't think too much. Go and pack your luggage first. You can stay at my house. There's no place to stay at the master's place. Do you have a servant with you?"
"I don't want to live in your house. I want my dad to buy me a house."
"You have to live in it first. You have to clean up the house before you can live in it. Let's go, let's go."
It was the first time that Song Bojian met someone who was more awkward than himself, and he dragged him home.
On the way, Xie Jin hesitated to speak, and finally asked: "Do you mind that I always followed Jiang Chen? Will you look down on me?"
Song Bojian smiled and said, "I have been following Nan Zhi around since I was little. They all laughed at me for chasing after girls, but I know that only Nan Zhi is truly helping me and will always protect me. I feel at ease following her.
No matter how Jiang Chen treats you, if you feel comfortable playing with him, don't worry about what others think. "
Xie Jin felt better and looked at Song Bojian differently. This guy was not a bad guy.
Song Bojian subconsciously dodged: "Don't look at me like that, I don't like men."
Xie Jin's face darkened, "What are you thinking? Even if I like men, I can't look down on you."
"So you're attracted to Jiang Chen? Anyway, he's a eunuch now, and he's not a man anymore. You two wouldn't..."
"Song Bojian, don't think I don't dare to hit you..."
The two men started to fight, and the driver couldn't help but remind them: "Two young masters, be careful not to overturn the cart."
Hearing these words, it was as if they were doing something shameful, and they stopped immediately, but they stood far away, one on each side, as if they were afraid of getting involved with the other.
……
Shen Nanzhi didn't know that the two of them became friends by accident, and she was very happy to have a good start with Mr. Xie.
Shen Huai'en didn't mind flattering: "The girl's actions are different. With Mr. Xie, how far will the second customer be?"
Shen Nanzhi would never be proud or complacent. No matter how good a project was, it had to be promoted, not to mention that he was from a poor and remote area. If he wanted to get money from rich people, he had to be able to deceive them.
"Go find the workshop manager. I have something to tell him."
Shen Huai'en: "Just tell me, I'll tell them."
"No, I can't explain this to you clearly. No, what are you hesitating about?"
"Okay, I'll go right away."
The person in charge of the workshop is named Ma. He doesn't look like a scholar, but more like an old farmer. He also has the stubbornness and ruthlessness that are unique to craftsmen.
Shen Huai'en didn't want him to come over because this man's words were unpleasant to the ear and he had suffered a lot from them. It took him a lot of effort to make him obey.
"Miss Shen, we are all resting. We will be busy tomorrow. If you have anything to say, just let Manager Shen talk to us."
The implication is, why bother making people suffer? It's really cold.
"Master Ma, have some wine to warm yourself up, and then we can talk while we drink."
This boss Ma has no other hobbies except studying his work. He just likes to drink a little. But to be honest, there are few men who don't like to drink.
Especially in such cold weather, drinking a glass of hot wine can warm you up and help you sleep comfortably.
"Okay, girl, please go ahead."
For the sake of the wine, Master Ma gave him face and sat down. On the plate were spiced peanuts, boiled broad beans, soy-flavored pork head, and a dish of pickled cabbage, which were considered as appetizers.
Master Ma took a bite of peanuts and the fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth. He unconsciously picked up a piece of pig's head with his chopsticks. It was fat but not greasy. He had never eaten such delicious pig's head before.
Finally, have some pickled cabbage with chopsticks to suppress the greasiness in your mouth. This is a great side dish for drinking!
Shen Nanzhi poured him another glass of wine and said, "I have something that will trouble you, Mr. Ma, to help me. This is your extra income, and the price is extra."
"Girl, you say, but the project can't be too big, the county magistrate won't be able to explain it to him. A young man is fine."
It's not uncommon to take private jobs in private. Who can resist money?
Master Ma also has a few apprentices, and some of the less important tasks are done by the apprentices so as not to interfere with the affairs of the government.
"It's like this. I have a blueprint here, and I want to make it into a real thing. Of course, it should be a small model, so that people can see our layout at a glance. It also needs to be beautiful so that people will want to buy it at first glance."
"Do this? I've never done this before. It takes a lot of effort to make such a large drawing."
"One hundred taels of silver, can you do it?"
Ma Zhushi's breathing became rapid, his pupils contracted, "One hundred taels of silver?" His annual salary was only more than ten taels, and including his private work, twenty or thirty taels would be good.
Just for this little thing, she gave one hundred taels. Miss Shen is very generous.
"Let's discuss this carefully."
He and his apprentices worked day and night to finish the work for her, and he would give half of the profit to his apprentices. This was very generous of him as a master.
"Ok."
Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, there is no one who cannot be defeated by money, unless the money is not enough.
They chatted for an hour before they knew it. Shen Huai'en listened with more and more amazement in his eyes. What's wrong with this girl's brain?
This model can perfectly present the academy town, making people want to buy it just by looking at it.
"It's getting late. Master Ma, go back and think about it. Just tell me what materials you need. I want them to be exquisite. Don't be afraid to spend money. I want them to be as perfect and beautiful as a work of art."
"This material cost..."
"Of course I paid for it, and the surrounding landscape is also made more beautiful. Even if you don't study here, the elderly want to retire, the children want to come to play, the middle-aged want to rest, the teenagers want to date, and the girls want to enjoy the scenery. It can meet everyone's needs."
"Okay, I will definitely do it well for the girl."
Shen Huai'en went to see Master Ma off, while Shen Nanzhi looked at the blueprint and added some new landscapes, striving for perfection.
Unfortunately, communications were not well developed in ancient times, and only scholars, businessmen and officials could come here to play. Ordinary people could hardly leave the area hundreds of miles away in their lifetime, and would not spend money to come here to travel and enjoy the scenery.
"Still watching? Go to bed early. I'll take care of the molds. You don't have to worry about it."
"Well, thank you for your hard work. Try to make it as proportional as possible and make it realistic."
“What is proportion?”
Shen Huai'en is a curious baby. When he encounters rare words, he wants to understand them clearly.
