Chapter 117

Zhang Xiaobao couldn't let Li Xun fight with others. In that case, he would be done before Li Xun was killed. But he thought of another good way, which was to use some things in the 100,000 mountains and wait for the weather to warmer, and he was going to do this.

In fact, it is also very simple. It is to cultivate Li Xun's courage, such as drifting, etc. As long as the skills are achieved, it can ensure Li Xun's safety. First, cultivate Li Xun from these games, and then catch some wild animals to tie them up and let Li Xun kill them with his own hands. Just kill more.

In fact, if someone is sentenced to death, it would be even better to let Li Xun take charge. This is impossible. Li Xun's identity is there, and in addition, let Li Xun go to the cemetery and scare him at night.

Zhang Xiaobao believes that Li Xun's nerves are tough enough and will not be scared to cause any problems in general. He comes little by little. After experiencing too many things, he will slowly develop a temperament.

Now, Li Xun needs to exercise. Only with a strong body can he deal with all kinds of dangers. When Li Xun heard Zhang Xiaobao promised him to start training with a special method when summer came, and immediately exercised happily.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan started to burn glass. The temperature was difficult to control, so they could only rely on the experience of the kiln burners. Therefore, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan made more ingredients for each portion, so that they could be used to experiment at different temperatures.

After someone did this method, Zhang Xiaobao and Qianjuan finally got free again, and they no longer had to worry about other things.

Now we are waiting for the people who go to Hainan Island to send good news, and there is also the fleet that comes here. Then see what people here like to buy? You can transport more things if you like them directly. If you don’t like them, find ways to cultivate others to like them.

"Xiaobao, should those crocodiles kill two, and then make the skin into something to see the market's reaction?" Wang Juan washed his hands and asked Zhang Xiaobao while wiping it with a towel.

"We should not make things that others make. We do things that others cannot imagine, and we don't know what is new." Zhang Xiaobao also decided to kill a few, and it would be best to build a few more swamps and catch some small crocodiles to send them. Without natural enemies, the crocodiles will grow up slowly. As for artificial breeding, Zhang Xiaobao has no such idea.

I heard that when others tried to raise, they failed many times with the assistance of those instruments. Crafting should not be as simple as raising poultry, but you can feed some meat appropriately so that those small crocodiles do not have to be in danger of life when hunting.

Zhang Xiaobao doesn’t care whether there is wildness or not. In Luzhou, all crocodiles cannot be included. As long as the skin of the crocodile is obtained, it’s fine. But I think the wildness of those crocodiles can’t be lost by feeding something easily.

When Zhang Xiaobao mentioned it, Wang Juan began to ponder. There are leather armor made of crocodile skin, and some weapons handles made of crocodile skin, which are wrapped with a layer of leather, and a decorative belt is also made of crocodile skin.

Crocodiles are not only available here, but also in some lakes and rivers. As long as they see them, the people will find ways to kill them and exchange them for money. The main reason is that if you are not careful, people will be hurt, just like tigers. People here have no idea of ​​protecting wild animals.

Anything that can eat people must be killed as much as possible, preferably it will be killed, and the killing will be extinct. In this case, it is impossible for two people to ask for a way to protect anything.

Wang Juan was thinking hard about making some things that were not available here with crocodile skin, such as leather bags. This has now started to be sold, mainly to rich people in the capital. They can make this, but this is a bit too monotonous. Wang Juan believes that as long as someone sees those beautiful leather bags made of other leathers, they will think of making them with crocodile skins.

Businessmen are very smart at first, and sometimes they only need a little tip to discover business opportunities. In this way, they no longer have to think about making crocodile leather.

Gloves, boots? These two seem to be a waste to make with crocodile skin. If someone is willing to do it, he would have done it long ago. Why wait until he thinks about it?

After thinking about it for a few years, Wang Juan felt dissatisfied and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "I can't think of it, I don't know what to do, but I want to reflect the value of crocodile skin and what people here can't imagine. It's really difficult."

Zhang Xiaobao smiled and said, "I know that I can make some things, that is buttons. People nowadays don't use buttons. There are no clothes on them. We can make some clothes with buttons, and then use wood, iron and copper to make them, and then put some crocodile skin on them.

In this way, even if other people want to learn, they have to get some crocodile skins first. Decorative things are usually more expensive than practical things, and the cost is much less. If you believe me, just do it."

"Then try it, but you can't destroy the entire skin. Get some scraps first. One button is not that big." Wang Juan agreed.

The two of them chose something they could do and started to let someone kill crocodiles. If they wanted to kill alone, it would be very difficult, and they would even be eaten by crocodiles. However, when there were too many people, the trouble would be smaller.

Some individuals were responsible for killing crocodiles, and Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan focused on making glass again and failed continuously. The two of them had long been thinking about this and were not worried that they would not be able to do it. If others could do it, they could do it.

The mercury and tin foil there are also ready. Just wait for the glass to be made, cut into thin slices, then make tin foil on it, and cover it with a layer of mercury to be used as a mirror. The two of them have set the price for this thing, and the cheapest small mirror the size of a palm will cost fifty cents.

This is the price that is often sold in the future. At the beginning, it was not sold at all. It was given to some people who were not provoked by them now, such as Li Longji, as well as princes and ministers, especially some very powerful families.

"It's done, it's done, little boy, little lady, this glass thing is burned out, it's here, hurry up, carry it over."

Just as Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were about to go to the dock to see if the boat was coming, the people in the inner courtyard responsible for burning the glass ran here happily and said excitedly to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. While talking, they waved as if they were behind. The two people behind resisted the large piece of glass with wood and ropes to the approaching Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

"Young master, little lady, this is this thing. It's so beautiful that it looks green." The visitor was still talking, and touching the large piece of glass with his hands.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan leaned over and saw that the green one was too thick, and the whole glass was like a big stone. This is why the glass looked green and was caused by light.

I touched the glass with my hands. Indeed, the two of them were happy with this thing. Although it was not a flat plate, for the two, it was just to let the craftsmen spend more effort. If they could have such a large piece, they could make more small mirrors, and the eyes, etc.

"Okay, not bad. Remember that recipe and cook according to that in the future. The temperature in the kiln must be controlled well." Zhang Xiaobao admitted the efforts of the inner courtyard people over the past period and nodded and praised.

Wang Juan also said from the side: "Don't keep the secret. Don't let others see it in the near future, and you are not allowed to talk about this. I will definitely send you more red envelopes when the time comes."

Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao have their own considerations. This place is really remote. If too many people know about it, both of them have no doubt that some people will take risks for this thing, and they are the target of that kind of person.

The visitor nodded suddenly and agreed. After Zhang Xiaobao ordered someone to send the thing to the craftsmen in the inner courtyard, the visitor took the person carrying the thing back and prepared to burn more. The opposite prescription was known.

"Don't go to the dock first. Go back and wait. The craftsmen should be able to get a small piece soon. This glass is a good thing. It can be used when planting greenhouses in the future. It can also be used to grow watermelons of various shapes. I am going to plant square watermelons to see the sales. If it is good, I will do this in the future."

Zhang Xiaobao was not in a hurry to go to the dock now, so he pulled Wang Juan into the house to rest. When the glass pieces he had been brought over there, the two of them were about to try to make a mirror.

As Zhang Xiaobao said, the two of them did not wait too long, and the craftsman brought the glass sheet over. If he hadn't known that the craftsmen would not use that floating method to make flat glass, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan looked at the flat glass in front of him and were very suspicious that which craftsman knew how to make flat glass.

"How can it be so thin and flat? It's so unimaginable. It seems that those craftsmen are really amazing."

Wang Juan gently touched the glass with her hands and said to herself.

Zhang Xiaobao also heard Wang Juan's words next to him and continued: "It's very common. They can make very fine carvings of so many jade and other stones, and can make many shapes. It's not difficult to make a glass. Come on, wipe the glass clean first, otherwise, if you really put on the tin foil and mercury, the traces left on your hands will never be removed."

"Okay, let's wipe it off now. Then get two mirrors out first and give them to our mother. I don't have to worry about it." Wang Juan now really wants to have a mirror. No matter how clear the bronze mirror is, it is not as good as the glass mirror. You will know after thinking about it. Then, with the exquisite leather bag, you will take out a mirror from it during some personal gatherings, and then you will raise your identity.

The two of them were busy and waited until the evening to get out the mirror. Some parts of the tin foil on it were accidentally made of wrinkles. It was okay, so I would just practice it more in the future. Maybe if I left it to the craftsmen to make it, it would be better than the two of them for the first time.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan asked the craftsmen to remove the wrinkles, leaving only a few two large mirrors of palms. They also found the craftsmen to make a frame. In fact, it was a wooden box that could be opened and closed back and forth. The box was carved with patterns, which were also very thin.

When they were having dinner, each of them appeared with three mirrors. A large piece of glass could be cut into several small pieces. The two of them were preparing to give Xin'er, Liu'er and Weiwei a mirror in addition to their mothers. The rest was naturally Wang Juan kept it herself, which was very memorable to her. She decided to keep the mirror as much as possible.

The food was brought up. Today, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did not pick up food for everyone immediately as before, but sat there motionless, looking back and forth on their family members without making any sound.

"Xiaobao, is there something difficult to do? Tell me and think of a solution for you." Zhang Wangshi thought that the two of them had encountered problems, so she asked, but she didn't expect him and others to help her. She just told her son and daughter-in-law not to worry about the family and do whatever they want. After all, she could even do something against the will, and she didn't have the expression she had like now, so she thought it would be even more difficult.

Zhang Xiaobao shook his head, took out the mirror from his arms, pushed the wooden box toward his mother, and said, "Mom, I made something for you and gave it to you as a gift."

Wang Juan also learned to send a mirror in her arms to her mother. This time she didn't say anything, just looking forward to her mother opening it to see her.

Wang Juan's mother was not as steady as Zhang Xiaobao's mother. When she heard Zhang Xiaobao say it was a gift, she immediately opened the box impatiently. As soon as she opened it, she was surprised and said in a trembling voice: "Juanjuan, tell me, why did my mother get into the box and get it out quickly. Is this box used to lock people up?"

After she said this, Zhang Wang also opened the box and looked inside. He was also surprised. Then he showed a happy expression and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, this is a mirror? Oh, it's really more realistic than a bronze mirror. How did you get this thing? Could it be that you and Juanjuan came to the heaven and snatched it from above?"

Mrs. Zhang was pretty good, and suddenly realized that she did not think she was locked in the box like Wang Juan's mother. When Wang Juan's mother heard that it was a mirror, she made a few moves. Sure enough, the people inside also made a few moves, just like the bronze mirror they usually use.

But this mirror is so clear that it looks like a person has crawled in. Thinking of what Zhang Wang said just now, he looked at Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao nervously and said:

"Xiaobao, Juanjuan, mom knows that you are doing it for your mother's good, but you must not take risks. Hurry up and send it back to the heaven, otherwise people will find that the mirror is gone and chase it down. Mom will be content with just one look. Knowing that there is such a thing in this world, which is better than other people. Don't want it, send it back quickly. Oh, as long as you grow up safely, you will have no other wishes."

"Mom, what kind of things from the Heavenly Court are made by Xiaobao and I. There is no Heavenly Court now. I really give it to you. If they know, it will be really troublesome. Now this is a bit small, so it's better to put it in the bag I sent last time. When you make a big one, stand in the house and stand in front of you to see it."

When Wang Juan heard her mother's words, she was very moved. Such words that made people laugh after hearing them made her eyes red. She quickly explained and said to Tianting. Since her family thinks so, let them think so.

"Okay, it's not something from the heavenly court. Don't worry, I don't take it out casually if I don't want to take it out, and I'll take it in the house as well, so that people in the heaven can see it, and hide from them."

Wang Juan's mother was even happier when she heard that she didn't have to send it to her. She looked around in the mirror like a baby, and her face was filled with smiles.

Zhang Wang was also a little worried just now, so he pushed the mirror close to Zhang Xiaobao. At this time, he knew that this was made by his son and daughter-in-law and had nothing to do with heaven. He took the mirror back and looked carefully at the mirror and picked up a strand of hair on his temples, nodding with satisfaction.

Seeing that his mother was satisfied, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also felt relieved. They were really afraid that their mother would worry.

"Xiaobao, is this thing troublesome to make?" Zhang Zhong thought of making money as soon as he saw the mirror. Now he is used to new things that appear from time to time at home. It seems that everything can bring enough benefits to the family. This mirror should be the same. Looking at Qiaoer's happy appearance, other women cannot dislike it.

"Not bother, but it must be kept confidential. This thing has very little capital. If you want to sell it for a large price in the future, Dad, I would like to ask you for a while. That is, write a few letters and give it to someone with such a mirror. You can't even ask for a penny. You have to send it there so that we can be safe here."

Zhang Xiaobao explained to his father again, and at the same time expressed his thoughts.

Zhang Zhong nodded and agreed, "I know, our family has delivered many things to others. Those who have taken the things always help when they need them, otherwise how can we be so carefree here? The emperor should give more women there. After all, there are really one or two people who have not gotten, and maybe they will make trouble behind the scenes."

Zhang Zhong is no longer the first person to trick his wife into, nor is he the one who knows nothing when he won the top scorer for the first time. Now he has gradually understood and adapted to the things in the officialdom, and can still distinguish clearly what should be done and what should not be done.

"Dad, don't worry, many mirrors will come out in a few days. I will send them together and wrap them in cotton. Be careful on the road, otherwise it will be very easy to break."

Zhang Xiaobao was also very happy with his father's transformation. In this way, he became a governor outside and suffered more hardships. In the future, he would not be afraid of being deceived if he joined the court.

The meal was different from before. The old man at home was happy, and the two people who had obtained the mirror were also happy. While eating, they carefully watched and said the price of the mirror. The result was lower than that of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

As a result, the meal time was much longer, twice as usual. After the meal, the family did not return to their respective houses, but continued to look at the mirror there. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan left, and they both wanted to give mirrors to the other three.

While waiting for the two of them to find the old man, Li Xun and others were there. The old man was the referee according to the rules of the game, and the others were divided into four companies, playing the commercial Monopoly game there.

"Sister Xin'er, Sister Liu'er, and Weiwei, I'll give you this." Wang Juan ran to the place and distributed the mirror in her hand. She also took out the one that belonged to her and fiddled with it. It was not that she had never seen the mirror, but that there was a mirror in this place, which meant that it was not simple.

When the three girls saw the wooden box in their hands, they thought it was good. They opened it curiously to watch it. They all screamed in surprise like Wang Juan’s mother and Zhang Xiaobao’s mother.

The people in the mirror also opened their mouths wide and looked surprised. When they blinked their eyes, the people in the mirror learned to blink. They learned very quickly, as if they moved, the people in the mirror moved.

"I know, this is a mirror, wow! Can you still make such a mirror? I sent it, and now I will have endless food to eat and endless money to sell it."

Xin'er was stunned for a moment and finally realized that she, with her business talent, immediately knew the value of the mirror. It was not only possible to sell it directly, but also to exchange some benefits with others if it was done.

"What mirror, what mirror? It's really that good? Let me see." Li Xun didn't care at first, but when he heard Xin'er's words, he came over curiously, but Xin'er closed the mirror all at once and didn't let Li Xun look at it.

Li Xun had no choice but to find Wang Juan, took the mirror from Wang Juan's hand, opened it and opened it, and also opened his eyes wide and said to Zhang Xiaobao:

"You also made this thing? I want as much as I want. I will give me a hundred first. No, five hundred. I want to give it to people. No, it's better to give it to people. Just send the key people to them. If all the others are given, they won't be sold at a price. I still expect them to buy it."

"There are only ten, do you want to love?" Wang Juan opened one hundred words when she heard Li Xun, and turned her head and didn't even discuss it.

The old man also came over at this time. After looking at the mirror, he sighed and said, "It's such a clever craftsmanship. When this thing comes out, I don't know if it's good or bad?"
Chapter completed!
