Star Marriage

Chapter 80

"Oh? What is it this time?" Shui Ling's face was covered with colorful paints. After several days of hard work, her masterpiece was finally completed. Because she heard the sound of tinkling downstairs, she ran away curiously. to the first floor.

"This..." Yan Xichen thought of the name while assembling.The one he saw in the watch store was called the Sundial Building. The Sundial Building was as tall as a person and looked magnificent. His work was iron-gray and looked so earthy, but what could it be called?

"Just call it a timer." Xiaobao pointed out the function of the thing.

"It's called the clock." Yan Xichen finally decided on a common name on the earth. He did it on purpose, after all, the ancestors on the earth are the original ones.

"Brother Xi, why did you make this thing?" Shui Ling asked strangely.

"To raise money."

"Can this dark thing raise money?" Shui Ling pursed her lips, she really didn't believe it.

"Maybe." Then, with a click, with the last piece of iron plate installed successfully, a clock with a small pendulum was assembled.

Because there is no dial, only a bunch of messy gears can be seen through the hands, which looks very ugly.

Yan Xichen curled his lips because of this.

In addition to the lack of a dial, his clock sample also lacks a glass cover. He plans to ask Shui Ling to help draw a dial, and Xiao Zheng can solve the clock cover.

"Shui Ling, please help me draw something." Yan Xichen casually drew a round dial on the straw paper. His drawing skills were clumsy, and the circle was not round at all.

"What is this? Animan giant fruit?" Shui Ling looked at the huge oval on the paper and asked.

"Eh..." Yan Xichen scratched his head, and decided to give a general idea, and let Shui Ling draw it by himself.

After listening to Yan Xichen's description, Shui Ling raised her small face, patted her chest and assured: "No problem! Leave such a simple matter to me."

"By the way, Brother Xi, when you promised to make a luminous signboard for Xiao Zheng, you seemed to have said that you had something for me. What about that thing?" Shui Ling discovered that the person she called Brother Xi was actually a very mysterious and profound person. Bottom man.

Recently, Yan Xichen has been wearing Qixing civilian clothes that Xiaoding found, but Shui Ling can't forget the black coat that Yan Xichen was wearing when they met on the official road.

She is very confident in her ability to identify clothes, and she really wants to come and take a closer look at that dress.

Reminded by Shui Ling, Yan Xichen patted his head, there was something he almost forgot.What he said before to give to Shuiling was actually a sewing machine.

He has lived in Panluo for almost a week. The clothing stores and shoe stores here are all custom-made workshops, and the clothes are really handmade as Shui Ling described.And only rich people have spare money to customize clothing. Many women in ordinary families choose to sew their own clothing because they have time, and the money saved is used to supplement their household expenses.

Shui Ling's store is probably also a custom shop, which competes with the old clothing store in the same block.Moreover, the old store has advantages in terms of customer source and reputation. If the store of Shuiling is to survive smoothly, it needs some other advantages.

At this time, he thought of machinery again.So he asked Xiaolan to find the blueprint of the antique sewing machine again.

When the sewing machine was first invented, there was also a purely mechanical version, so it was suitable for those who did not have an electric power supply.

"Xiaobao, I still need you to make a few things for me." Yan Xichen took out a blueprint related to the sewing machine as he spoke.

After many days of training by Yan Xichen, Xiaobao has been able to understand mechanical drawings according to the standards of the earth.

In addition to steel, a sewing machine also needs materials such as wood and rubber.

Yan Xichen is very sure that he can find wood and steel, but he is not sure if he can find soft and elastic things like rubber.

After listening to Yan Xichen's description of the performance of rubber, Xiao Bao said: "Yes, we call it fish rubber band here. There is a fish along the coast. I don't remember the name, but there is a very long tendon under its fin. , that thing happens to be very soft and very resilient, so I guess it can do just that.”

When Xiaobao was talking about it, Xiaolan also found a record about this fish in the natural history. This fish is called "Qiuhao". Catch it at its fattest.

On the second day, Xiao Bao began to manufacture the various parts of the sewing machine. The core part of the sewing machine is the shuttle part, which requires high-precision checks. The other parts follow Xiao Bao's original level and do not need Yan Xichen's supervision at all.

When Xiao Bao was making the sewing machine frame, Yan Xichen and Shui Ling went out with the finished "clock" together, and their destination was the treasure auction house in Muqing City.

Treasure Auction House is the largest metal trading market on Rainbow Island.Many expensive ores, crystals and refined metals are traded here.

This auction house is run by the Huo family, but Fanluo lord Feng Yifan personally dislikes the Huo family, so in order to avoid disputes, Huo Dongming cleverly transferred the auction house to the name of the third princess of the royal family.

Despite this arrangement, the operation of the Jumbo Auction House is still in charge of the Huo family, and the third princess Yan Yingqian is just a shield borrowed by Huo Dongming.

This auction house, which has great influence in Panluo and even in Rainbow Island, not only auctions raw materials such as metal, but also occasionally auctions novel technologies and equipment, and the elder son of the Feng family, Feng Weizhi, basically provides this kind of auction.

The auction house holds a regular trade fair every Sunday, and a relatively grand trade fair is held on the last Sunday of each month. Strange inventions are often seen at the end-of-month fair.

Shui Ling obviously knows Fan Luo better than Yan Xichen, and her suggestion to Yan Xichen is to let him bring this "clock" to this treasure auction house to start the first shot.

At first, Shui Ling didn't like Yan Xichen's "clock" box, but when the colorful dial she drew was installed, the small box seemed to have life, and she also fell in love with this box that she painted with her own hands. child.

Finally, what makes this humble black iron box more attractive is the glass cover and oak base that Xiao Zheng made according to Yan Xichen's request.

When he saw the final appearance of the "clock", Shui Ling couldn't close his mouth at all, and couldn't even make a sound of surprise. The "clock" is definitely not as good-looking as the luminous sign Yan Xichen made for her at the beginning, but the beauty of the combination of metal and glass made her forget to blink. The fine Miles fashion came even stronger.

The glass cover and the colorful dial she painted really have the power to turn decay into magic. This "clock" is not only functional, but also decorative, which can instantly kill all sundials on the market.

Both Xiaobao and Xiaozheng were the first group of people to witness the birth of "Clock". They both felt the same as Shui Ling, and were even more impacted than Shui Ling.Both of them made a decision in their hearts, and it was right to follow the person named Chen Xi in front of them.

…………

Treasure Auction House has a building in Muqing City, although it is not too grand, it is only as high as five floors.The blue and white outer wall is covered with green plants, and an arm-long square iron signboard, flashing a rare arc light, is placed next to the building door.

On the black and gray iron plate, there are four words "Zhenbao Auction", written vigorously and forcefully.

Compared with the outer door of Feng's Qingyun Fort, the gate of the auction house seems to be custom-made for the dwarves in the kingdom of giants. It looks so simple and miniature.

In fact, the gate of this building is not small, it is 1.5 meters high and [-] meters wide, but the Feng family's gate is really unreasonably large.

Today is the regular month-end trade fair, and it is a big day.Many merchants from other provinces moved into Muqing City early in order to participate in this month-end auction.

"I heard that Mr. Feng's invention this time is very strange." A businessman with a Parkin accent said to the people around him.

"Yes. I also came here for the name, and it is said that there are as many as five pieces. Have you got the auction catalog?"

"When I went to the service desk to get it, the little girl refused to give it to me, saying that the catalog was still being adjusted."

"This Treasure Walk is really dead. The filming started right away and the catalog was adjusted. Why did you do it so early?"

…………

The four merchants talked one after another as they walked in. They didn't know that the person who had to temporarily change the auction catalog was around.

"Uncle, we're here." Shui Ling dragged Yan Xichen who was a little dizzy, and happily pointed to the building of the treasure auction.

Shui Ling dressed Yan Xichen as a middle-aged man, who was her uncle.Because Yan Xichen looked too young, Shui Ling said that his appearance would make this thing drop in price.

Yan Xichen refused at first, but when he heard that many nobles would hide in the boxes of the Treasure Auction House to participate in the auction, he agreed to Shui Ling's proposal.He is very similar to the little prince now, and if any nobleman finds out about him, it will be revealed that Yoko may also be in Kai.

According to Shui Ling's clothing taste, Yan Xichen wore the dark collared shirt and suspenders that Miles businessmen often wear, a bowler hat and a pair of round glasses that old gentlemen would wear. He took off the contact lenses and recovered. eye color.In order to reflect his age, he has two mustaches on his face.

When his disguise was completed, Shui Ling couldn't help laughing.

"What's wrong? It's strange?" Yan Xichen was at a loss when he was laughed at.

Xiaobao and Xiaozheng who were present also couldn't bear to smile and blushed very hard.

"You don't look like a technician at all, you look like a profiteer." Shui Ling concluded.

Profiteer?That's because your craft is not good!Yan Xichen cursed in his heart.

Shui Ling who came with Yan Xichen also put on a disguise. Why did she disguise, Shui Ling didn't explain, and Yan Xichen didn't ask.

The juicy pink hair was too conspicuous, she put on a big hat and hid all her hair in the hat.She then got herself a pair of false teeth and a giant mole.

Seeing her proficiency and abundant props, Yan Xichen guessed that Shui Ling must often do this kind of disguise.

Under the faint light of the lantern flowers, Yan Xichen glanced at the building in front of him. This was the second time he had been here today.

When he arrived at Qixing, he realized that he was a road idiot. On the earth, the navigation system has long been popularized. No matter where he went, even in the slums, he never got lost.But in Qi, this Fanluo with all kinds of intricate paths, if he didn't have Shui Ling to guide him, he would get lost after walking a few times.

Just this morning, Shui Ling and Yan Xichen, who had disguised themselves, came to the Treasure Auction House together.
