Chapter 37: The sea water cannot be weighed (Part 1)

In the highly anticipated eyes, Wang Laohu opened the wooden box and took out a delicate and transparent glass bottle.

This bottle, which shines brightly in the sun, is actually transparent! Everyone was shocked. You should know that although the glass bottle is not very valuable, it is said that only a few large boxes from Beijing Liuli Factory can burn transparent ones.

"This is not from Liulichang." Seeing the admiring eyes of everyone, Wang Laohu said proudly: "This is from Franchise thousands of miles away across the ocean. When we arrived in the Ming Dynasty, there are less than a hundred left." Only a sound of gasping in the whole room was heard.

In fact, at this time, the government and the people advocated gorgeousness, from the ministers to the people, they all regarded the colorful colors as beautiful. Therefore, this bottle without any color was not very attractive to the people present. The reason why everyone strongly reflected was that transparent glass bottles were rare, and the other was that the Franchise machine... what the hell is it?

It felt that it attracted everyone's attention. Wang Laohu raised the bottle in his hand and said, "I now think this thing is too plain in color. If it could be coated with a layer of gold powder, how beautiful it would be if it shines with golden light."

"Boy, this is the question I have asked." He then lowered his head and looked at Shen Mo with disdain, "Can you do it?"

As soon as this was said, the scene was in an uproar, and everyone said, "Boss Black is black. How can such a thin bottle mouth and such a long neck be gilded?" In this era, if you want to plaster gold in the bottle, you must iron it with a red iron grate to fit it properly. But this thin and long bottleneck is the thickness of a thumb, how can the comb-like iron grate be inserted into it?

Moreover, this kind of bottle looks thin and crisp at first glance. Even if the iron grate can penetrate, it is estimated that it will be broken if it cannot be knocked twice.

For the purpose of sympathy, people questioned that this topic was too professional and that Xiao Tongsheng was not a goldsmith, so how could he be gilded?

Wang Laohu shook the letter of the contract in his hand and said proudly: "It is written in black and white, and the title is planned by me. That's the final word!" As he said that, he grumbled at Shen Mo and laughed: "Of course, if you admit defeat, you don't need to be plated."

Shen Mo's expression became extremely ugly. When everyone saw that his whole body was trembling, they couldn't help but sigh: "A miserable child..."

Fortunately, the boy was a little stubborn, so he heard him say, "Then I'll give it a try."

"Try it? Do you know how much this bottle cost?" Wang Laohu sneered: "There are less than a hundred Franchise machines in the country!" After all, gangsters are gangsters, and they can't become rulers when wearing Confucian shirts. When they see Shen Mo being bullied, they want to blackmail them.

"Didn't you let me gilt?" Shen Mo said in a silly manner: "How do you plate if you don't give me?"

"Can you do it, boy?" Seeing that the silly boy was confused and could not hear what he meant, Wang Laohu said depressedly: "No, don't waste my bottle."

Shen Mo said seriously: "I will find out after trying."

Wang Laohu was extremely overwhelmed. If it weren't for the public, he would have asked his men to dig the stubborn boy to bury him. He held back his anger and said, "What should I do if I break it? Can you afford it?"

"How can you know if you don't try?" Shen Mo scratched his head, as if he suddenly realized, "Oh, it turns out that you are afraid that I will break it."

Everyone wiped their sweat and thought to themselves... You finally got it.

"That's what it means." Wang Laohu said with a clear sigh of relief: "You have to give me some money as a guarantee. If the bottle is broken, you can pay me a compensation." Everyone said: It's so despicable. This clearly means killing people and using bones to boil oil!

"It won't break." The silly boy said unexpectedly: "I'll be careful."

The whole place was silent... Everyone looked at the silence with the eyes of the Buddha, and only then did they realize that there were such simple people in this era.

"Okay, okay, you don't have to pay for it now." Wang Laohu suddenly said crazy: "If it is broken, I will never forgive you!" After that, he left angrily, not daring to look at the silent again, for fear of being infected by him.

"Why are you leaving?" Chen Si held the bottle and said strangely: "It's so rude to say hello without even saying hello." After saying that, he bowed to the two county magistrates and said: "Students leave."

County Magistrate Zhang closed his eyes and didn't want to look at him. County Magistrate Hou smiled and said, "You are such a talent, no less than Xu Wenqing from the county."

"Thank you for the praise." Chen Duo really nodded. This sentence made everyone present laugh halfway down. The remaining half of those who didn't laugh were Kuaiji people, but they were so embarrassed that they walked away without even hearing the positive and negative words. The silly child who couldn't even hear the positive and negative words was not worthy of Xu Wenqing's shoes.

Seeing everyone dispersing, silent and politely said softly: "Goodbye." After that, he hugged the bottle and walked away quickly.

Seeing that the victims had left, County Magistrate Hou also slapped his sleeves a few times and said, "Brother Zhang, let's go too. The two county magistrates are still waiting to reply." County Magistrate Zhang nodded with a dark face and left without saying a word.

County Magistrate Hou was in a good mood and didn't bother with him. He hummed a little song and followed behind. After a while, he arrived at the Fengfeng Tower. After asking about the location, he went to Room A on the third floor.

In front of subordinates, the two county magistrates are still very well-educated, at least they will not fight again.

They had already watched the whole process, but there was no dubbing. After hearing the County Magistrate Hou tell the scene, he felt as if he was there. County Magistrate Lu smiled and comforted County Magistrate Li and said, "Mr. Li, don't be too sad. Victory and defeat are common things for military affairs."

County Magistrate Li snorted but did not respond. He repeatedly compared the silence before and after, as if he noticed something strange... It is impossible for a person to change so much, that boy probably intended to pretend to be stupid.

He fell into his own way of thinking, and even the Magistrate of County Lu and County Hou left without any response. After a long time, he sighed: "This kid is wise and stupid!"

County Magistrate Zhang asked in confusion: "Is he pretending to be stupid?"

County Magistrate Li nodded and praised: "If you don't understand, show it as weak. You can paralyze your opponent first and give yourself greater room for transformation... Once you encounter a problem, everyone will naturally think that he can't solve it. If it is solved, it will naturally be shocking and look at it with admiration. If it is solved, everyone will understand... There are only benefits, no harm."
