My nemesis is pregnant, the baby is mine
Chapter 26 Do You Want Me?
"Then..." the butler cautiously probed.
Qi Yunshu closed his eyes tightly and lay motionless on the bed.
The housekeeper showed joy when he saw this, took the medicine bowl that was put aside, and walked out the door, "The old slave will give orders immediately, let the people below be smarter for a while, and you don't have to worry about the delivery, young master." , take a good rest for a few days."
Qi Yunshu didn't move, acquiescing to the butler's actions.
The housekeeper left the room and the door was closed again. Qi Yunshu, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes. He looked up at the top of the bed, feeling a little absent-minded for a moment.
He should be a smart man, but now he is doing stupid things.
Shen Mo didn't like Shuang'er at all, and they had such a relationship, even if the child was really born, the possibility of Shen Mo falling in love with him was very slim.
Qi Yunshu closed his eyes again, trying not to think about it, but the sarcasm in Shen Mo's eyes when he talked about Shuanger appeared in his mind.
The cold sarcasm was like a needle piercing Qi Yunshu's heart, making his chest feel like being scraped by a blade, and he couldn't breathe.
Qi Yunshu was sleepy all night, sometimes fell asleep and sometimes woke up. In his dreams, he could always see Shen Mo's eyes that were always cold and disgusted. When he woke up, he felt throbbing pain in his stomach.
The night passed.
In the early morning of the next day, Shen Mo, who got up early to pack his things, took the daily necessities he had packed and the brand new set of tools, and went to the workshop in the town. The Qi family arranged for someone to take him to the big workshop.
When Shen Mo arrived, the carriage that sent him was already waiting there.
It was still early at this time, and it was just foggy and bright, the huge streets were empty, only a few shops selling soy milk and fried dough sticks that got up early were yawning and working.
Shen Mo got into the carriage, and the man drove the carriage out of town.
Going south all the way, the carriage stopped in front of a city gate until the evening.
Shen Mo opened the curtains and looked outside. This is an old and big old city.
Under the setting sun covered by old trees and dead vines, there is an old wall covered with moss. In the middle of the wall, there are four soldiers guarding the gate, and all the people who come in and out in the middle of the road are residents who are rushing home.
Shen Mo took a special look, this city is called Qingcheng.
The carriage entered the city and continued driving for about half an hour before stopping at a place that looked like a large mansion.
There was already someone waiting at the door, and after Shen Mo got off the carriage, the man greeted him, and Qi Yunshu had already explained everything.
"I've already had someone clean it up. See if there's anything else you need, just ask." The person who greeted Shen Mo led Shen Mo to the residence arranged for him by the Qi family.
It was a separate small courtyard located in a large mansion. The courtyard was not too big. There was a small garden outside, a study and a bedroom inside.
This entire mansion is owned by the Qi family, and it is a dormitory for the carpenters who work in the big workshop.
Those who can live here are master-level figures in the big workshop, and other ordinary students and workers live in another yard specially set up next to it.
The arrangement here is pretty good. In addition to a separate small courtyard for one person, there are also special personnel in the large courtyard who are responsible for meals and cleaning, and they can just ask for anything.
Shen Mo went into the room and took a look around. The daily necessities in the room were basically prepared. He put the things down and thanked the person.
"The workshop is not far away. It's just around the corner when you go out. It's very convenient to come and go. Get a good rest tonight, and I'll take you there tomorrow morning." The man said.
Shen Mo agreed, and after eating the dinner that the man had sent, he lay down early to rest.
On the second day, Shen Mo, who had a good rest, followed the man to the big workshop nearby.
That workshop is called a big workshop, not only to distinguish it from other ordinary workshops of the Qi family, but also because it is really big.
This large workshop is located near the outskirts of the city and occupies a very large area.
In addition to several large warehouses used to store various kinds of wood, there are six or seven workshops for working alone.And each individual workshop is as big as five ordinary rooms, and it looks very grand when you look around.
"Currently, there are six masters working here, including you, a total of seven people. On weekdays, everyone does their own thing. If you are interested, you can go make friends, but they also have some weird tempers."
"The Qi family in each workshop has some workers who are responsible for helping. You can use these people with confidence. If you have any dissatisfaction or other things, you can tell me."
"As for the materials in the warehouse, the master chef is free to use them, as long as they record them, and you can tell me if there is anything that is not enough or lacking, but you can't take it out for personal gain."
The person who received Shen Mo yesterday led Shen Mo around the workshop, and then brought Shen Mo to the workshop assigned to him.
The workshop is divided into several parts, and the layout is a bit like the workshop next to Qi's house.
Most of the space in the house is opened up as a large workshop, with rows of workbenches inside, and there is also a separate inner room, which is exclusively used by the master chef in charge.
Big workshops are a little different from ordinary small workshops. The orders received here are almost all big orders, and the customers they contact are also distinguished customers. Therefore, the masters in charge here are usually in charge of design and supervision.
Once the order is in hand, like the one in the academy before, the master master designs the samples, and then the carpenters and apprentices in his own workshop make a large number of them, and the master master supervises the work.
It's not that the master master doesn't do it himself, there are actually quite a lot of opportunities like this.
When powerful and powerful families or officials custom-made furniture or other things for their own homes, most of them were done by the masters themselves, and they would not be handed over to other workers as apprentices.
Shen Mo followed that person around the whole workshop all morning, and met some people in the workshop that he would be in charge of in the future. It was not until noon that he finally stopped.
"I'm the person in charge of the big workshop. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me directly. Mr. Qi has already ordered me to help you more, so you can just ask." Until the end, the man was himself introduce.
The man's name was Yu Yan, and he was the person in charge of this large workshop.
He is young, only in his early thirties, and he is not very proficient in production. He is mainly responsible for the external business of the workshop and the supplement of various materials for the workshop.
Shen Mo had a good impression of Yu Yan, he didn't have the aloofness and arrogance of a negative person, on the contrary, he was quite humble and easy-going, making it hard to hate.
"Before I came, I heard that someone called me by name and said that there was a list. Do you know what happened?" Shen Mo asked after thanking him.
"The list is in my hands now, so it's not urgent. If you want to get familiar with the environment for a day or two, it's fine." Yu Yan smiled, very considerate.
Newcomer here, not familiar with anything, if you have time to familiarize yourself with the environment, it is naturally the best choice, but Shen Mo did not choose to do so.
"No need, you can gradually get familiar with the environment, but I want to take a look at the list first." Shen Mo said.
This is his first order here, he naturally attaches great importance to it, and it seems that the other party is not easy to deal with, so the sooner he prepares, the better.
Yu Yan nodded, and then told Shen Mo about the list.
The order was given by a regular customer of Qi's family. He is in the food business and often customizes some food boxes or other seats and benches at Qi's family.
This time his customized list is a food box.The size of the food box has fixed specifications, and Yu Yan told Shen Mo the specifications.
As for the food box, the other party asked not only for the fixed size, but also to engrave his shop's name on it. Besides that, there was only one requirement, and that was novelty.
This list seems simple and easy, just asking to make a food box of a fixed size, and then engrave the name of the store, but in fact, the word novelty alone is already a headache.
Although the box is not as common as benches and tables, it is already unable to find any new tricks.
And this kind of list is not a gamble, the more complicated and exquisite the craftsmanship, the more points will be added. Their workshop is a business, so naturally, cost and profit must be considered.
After Yu Yan finished talking about the specific situation, he briefly mentioned the situation of the regular customer.
That regular customer was indeed just as Shen Mo had heard before, he was not an easy person to deal with.
He had also customized some other things in the big workshop before, and basically never passed it once. He was very picky and demanding, and all the masters in the workshop were already afraid of him.
However, the other party's business is very big, and there are his shops everywhere in the north and south of the country.His order is also a big deal for the Qi family, so even if it is difficult to deal with, the Qi family has been fighting for it.
"How is it?" Yu Yan looked at Shen Mo worriedly after finishing the specific situation.
It was unlucky for Shen Mo to encounter such a tricky list as soon as he arrived.
Shen Mo's eyes drooped slightly, he thought over and over again and Yu Yan said, when he raised his head again, there was a faint smile on his face, "I'll bring you the sample tomorrow?"
Yu Yan was stunned. He didn't expect Shen Mo to ask this. He said, "Yes, I'll show him after your sample is ready. If he says yes, then you can start making it."
Shen Mo nodded, asked some more about the food box, and then left.
Shen Mo went back to the small courtyard, took the tools, and went to the workshop that he will manage in the future.He greeted several old craftsmen in the workshop, asked for some more materials, and then went inside to get busy.
He already had an idea about the food box.
The news about Shen Mo's arrival in Qingcheng had already spread on the first night he arrived here.
The other masters in the big workshop were full of curiosity about Shen Mo, and the workers and apprentices working in the workshop were naturally also curious. After all, it was the first time in history that Shen Mo entered the workshop as a master at his age.
There was a lot of discussion among the people, and the news naturally spread in Qingcheng. People who knew who Shen Mo was didn't mention it, and those who didn't know naturally asked around.
It was already the next morning when the news reached Yang Renxiong.
Knowing that Shen Mo also came to Qingcheng, and became the master chef of the Qi family's big workshop, Yang Renxiong, who was still completely angry, immediately changed his face.
In Yang Renxiong's small workshop, several old friends who were close to him immediately guessed the reason when they saw him like this, and laughed at him one after another.
"Why, are you still angry?" Someone asked.
"It seems that Qi Yunshu really likes him so much that he is willing to let him be his master." Yang Renxiong said in a strange way, "There must be something between the two of them, right?"
"What do you mean?" The people next to him looked at each other, wondering what Yang Renxiong meant.
"You don't know where the Qi Family Workshop is? Don't say anything else, let you go, can you get in?" Yang Renxiong's words were full of sourness.
The Qi Family Workshop is not a place that ordinary people can enter casually. It not only represents the face of the Qi Family, but also the face of all colleagues on their side, because the Qi Family Workshop is also considered a place on their side. Representative exists.
There have always been many people who want to enter Qi's house, but there are only a handful of people who can really enter.
"Then what is Shen Mo's ability, he can do it when he wants to?" Yang Renxiong snorted coldly, his face was gloomy, "I think he might not rely on his ability as a carpenter."
Qi Yunshu favored Shen Mo everywhere, and there might be some ulterior and dirty deal between the two of them.
"You really think so?"
"Then Qi Yunshu is not young anymore, but he has never had a wife or concubine at home. If you ask me, maybe you just fell in love with him." Yang Renxiong said.
Several people nearby looked at each other, noncommittal.
One of them seemed to have thought of something, and said, "Whether he has the real ability or not, we will know in two days."
"Oh?"
"Haven't you heard of it? This time, Xiong's order was made by name."
"The Xiong family?" Yang Renxiong was slightly surprised, the Xiong family was notoriously difficult to deal with.
Seeing that Yang Renxiong really didn't know, the person next to him told the story, and at the end he couldn't help but sigh that Shen Mo was unlucky.
Yang Renxiong's mind was not on that, his eyeballs rolled, and after a while he got up and walked towards the door.
Seeing this, several people hurriedly caught up with him and asked him what he wanted to do, but Yang Renxiong only said that he was going to have a look.Everyone was puzzled at first, until they followed Yang Renxiong to the gate of Jia's house.
Everyone was surprised, Yang Renxiong had stepped forward to report his name, saying that he wanted to meet Xiong Dangjia.
Yang Renxiong is quite well-known in Qingcheng. He runs a workshop by himself. Because he makes more sculptures and handicrafts, the source of customers is also considered stable.
After the servants of the Xiong family went in to report, Yang Renxiong and his party were invited in not long after.
In the side hall of the Xiong family, Xiong Lei, the head of the Xiong family, sat at the head, looking thoughtfully at Yang Renxiong in front of him, "So you want to try?"
"That's right, I think I'm fully capable, and I'm sure I can make something that satisfies Xiong Dangjia." Yang Renxiong was very confident.
The Xiong family's order is a big one, if he can grab it and make it, it will not only make Shen Mo have no choice but to avenge the previous Chen Xiangmu, it will also make him a fortune.
Xiong Lei was thoughtful, he thought for a moment, did not refuse, but said, "Yes, if the one you brought out is better than his, then I will use yours."
Yang Renxiong was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly thanked him.Xiong Lei just smiled and asked people to see off the guests.
After Yang Renxiong and the others left, Xiong Lei thought about it and sent someone to report to Qi's house, telling them about the change in the list.
In the big workshop of the Qi family, Yu Yan frowned immediately when he heard the news.
It is not uncommon for them to grab business, especially for such a big order, and many people want to fight for it, after all, it is all money.
Generally speaking, as long as the other party doesn't use any shady means and really comes up with something that can satisfy customers more than them, then they have nothing to say if they lose, but the Xiong family has always cooperated with them.
Yu Yan immediately went to investigate the situation himself, but Xiong Lei was tight-lipped. In his words, he spent money just to get a good one, and if he was not satisfied with the money, he could choose a better one.
When Xiong Lei talked about this, Yu Yan naturally had nothing to say, so he could only go back to the house and went to find Shen Mo again.
When Shen Mo learned about the situation, heard Yang Renxiong's name, and then contacted the previous appraisal meeting, he quickly wanted to understand the reason.
For Yang Renxiong's way of prying the corner of the wall, Shen Mo is both funny and disdainful.
Yang Renxiong's character is not as good as Bai Hao's and the others, if he is really not convinced, it would be better for him to argue with him directly, why bother to use tricks behind his back?
Shen Mo disdained Yang Renxiong's actions, but Yu Yan got more and more headaches. As we all know, Xiong Dangjia's vision is high. As we all know, he was already difficult to deal with. Now that there is such a shit-stirring stick, things suddenly become more troublesome.
"Are you sure there is no problem?" Yu Yan looked at Shen Mo with some anxiety while having a headache.
"Don't worry." The corners of Shen Mo's mouth curled up without wavering.
Yu Yan looked at Shen Mo suspiciously for a while, seeing that Shen Mo seemed to be really sure, and remembering that Qi Yunshu had told him about Shen Mo before, he said, "If that's the case, then you will go to Xiong's house with me tomorrow morning."
"To the bear's house?"
"Master Xiong told you two to take the things directly for him to look at. If he is satisfied with someone else's, he will directly adopt that one." Yu Yan said.
Shen Mo nodded and agreed.
Yu Yan left and left the workshop. After thinking about it, he still had someone send a message to Qi Yunshu.
Xiong Lei and the others agreed on the next afternoon, and when the time came, Yu Yan brought Shen Mo to visit.
When they arrived, Yang Renxiong and his group of cronies had already arrived, and the tea had already been drunk.
Seeing Shen Mo enter the door, several people in the room stopped and looked over.
Xiong's business is eating, and the business is very big, and there are their shops almost everywhere.The Xiong family has a big business, and the family business they bought in Qingcheng is naturally big.
Shen Mo followed Yu Yan and walked around the Xiong's house for a while before finally arriving at the place. When he entered the door, Shen Mo was preparing to brace himself to deal with it at any time, when he looked up, he saw Xiong Lei sitting in the upper seat.
The moment he saw Xiong Lei, Shen Mo paused for a moment.
Because the man sitting on the top seat, whom Yu Yan has always called Xiong Dang's family, is clearly one of the group of people that Qi Yunshu took him to meet before, the man with a round figure and a finger puller.
Recognizing Xiong Lei, Shen Mo didn't point it out, but followed Yu Yan to say hello, the purpose of his coming here was the food box.
Xiong Lei didn't shy away from it, and greeted Shen Mo, "We meet again."
Everyone looked at Shen Mo in surprise when they heard the words. Shen Mo clasped his fists, and for a while really didn't know what to say.
To say they are familiar, they have only met once.If they were unfamiliar, they had indeed chatted all afternoon, and they got along quite well.
"Master Xiong, please don't forget the purpose of this time." Seeing that the two knew each other, Yang Renxiong immediately became displeased.
Xiong Lei laughed, and nodded his head looking at the rather wealthy man with a round body, and immediately said what he said before.
He only wants this food box to be good, and what he wants.
"Then you come first, I'll let you, so you don't get caught saying that I'm a bully." Yang Renxiong looked at Shen Mo with a smile.
He has a box wrapped in cloth by his hand, and it seems that he is very confident in his work.
Xiong Lei didn't say anything, just watched the show.
Hearing this, Yu Yan frowned slightly. At this time, it doesn't matter who comes first. Everything has already been done, and it is impossible to change it.Yang Renxiong was pretending to be generous at this time, which only made people feel more disgusted.
Hearing this, Shen Mo stood up, and he put the box he brought on the table carried by the servants.
Shen Mo didn't pretend to be mysterious, he moved very neatly.After putting the things on the table, the things inside were exposed directly.
It was a rectangular box, and the specifications and dimensions were made according to Xiong Lei's previous request, and there was nothing else.
Seeing the box, the faces of the people in the room changed instantly.
After a brief moment of surprise flashed across Yang Renxiong's face, he immediately showed a bit of sarcasm and a bit of disdain. He even felt that it was a joke that he took Shen Mo seriously before.
When Yu Yan saw the box, his face was full of surprise and bewilderment, and after he was bewildered, he faintly revealed a bit of uneasiness.He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.
Xiong Lei was relatively calm, except for the surprise on his face at the beginning, he had always looked like an outsider who was watching a theater.
Everyone's expressions were different, and there was no other reason, but because the things Shen Mo brought out were too ordinary.It was a long, rectangular wooden box that can be seen everywhere, and there is nothing else, no carvings or any unique features.
The box was made according to the size given by Xiong Lei before, square and square, only the lines at the corners were processed to make it more rounded and not so bumpy.
The color of the box is also the color of the original wood. When Shen Mo made this product, he only applied a layer of beeswax after finishing, so even the color was not outstanding.
As far as this box is concerned, if there is anything worth mentioning, it is probably that there is a shop name engraved obliquely on the upper left corner of the box.
But even this, it looks like Shen Mo engraved it because Xiong Lei asked for it. If Xiong Lei didn't ask, he might even save this.
"What are you doing? Why, you feel that you have no chance of winning, so you gave up?" Yang Renxiong couldn't help but ask.
He originally thought that Shen Mo was really great, but now it seems that he thinks highly of Shen Mo. If he had known that Shen Mo was such an inconspicuous person, he would not have had to get angry with Shen Mo at all.
Yang Renxiong felt funny about what he did, and being angry with a person who knows nothing, wouldn't that be the same as competing with a fool?He shook his head and laughed out loud, not knowing whether he was laughing at himself or Shen Mo.
Shen Mo glanced at him, ignored him, and ignored him.
Yang Renxiong was instantly irritated by Shen Mo's attitude, but he quickly endured it.From his point of view, at this time, there was no need for him to continue to get angry with Shen Mo, because that would only make him look more stupid.
Yang Renxiong looked back at Xiong Lei, he smiled and asked, "Master Xiong, do you think this is still necessary to compare?"
As for the box made by Shen Mo, he was much better than him when he was an apprentice.
Xiong Lei ignored Yang Renxiong, he got up and walked up to take a closer look, "Is this what you made?"
After getting closer, the condition of the box can barely be seen. The box is still Shen Mo's unique technique, and it is assembled with a mortise and tenon structure.
However, Xiong Lei has seen the mortise and tenon style used in this box before, and even thought about it himself, so if it is strange, it is nothing special.
After seeing the appearance, Xiong Lei stretched out his hand to open the box again. He wanted to see if there was anything strange inside the box, but after this movement, he realized that the box couldn't be opened.
"It's not like this." Shen Mo finally spoke.
Shen Mo stretched out his hand and took the box a few minutes in front of him. After taking the things over, his white and slender fingers slid from the edge of the box to the position of the Xiong's store name logo on the lid.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Mo pressed his thumb against the edge of the box, and with a force, the entire cover broke from the middle, and then slid to the side.
It is not the whole cover that slides, but two-thirds of the cover. The incision is oblique, and the whole looks like it has been cut obliquely.
Seeing the cover slide to the side, several people in the room were a little surprised, but that was all. They had not seen such a box with a slanted sliding cover.
But Shen Mo's movements didn't stop. He slid the cover to the side and then continued to slide. Just after the cover was slid to the end, after an imperceptible click sound, the part of the logo protruded a little and became conspicuous.
Almost at the same time, the box below was also lifted up.
Yu Yan and the others were still surprised, but Xiong Lei had already reacted immediately. He quickly took the box and held it in front of him.
The body of the box, which was originally fit perfectly, has turned into upper and lower layers at some point. Xiong Lei tried it, and the upper layer can be rotated like the lid.
After the upper layer was rotated, the lower box was also exposed.
Unfolding the box completely, Xiong Lei's eyes lit up involuntarily.
He turned the box back, and after turning it back to its original position, he turned the lid again.
When the lid was turned, the box that popped up below began to slowly retract again. When the lid was fully fitted, the box had returned to its normal appearance.
The structure of the entire box is like a fan. After turning the top cover, the second-tier box will also pop out slowly. When the cover is fully turned, the second-tier box also reaches the height that can be rotated.
Xiong Lei tried several times, turned back and forth several times, the more he turned, the more he understood the structure of the box, the more surprised Xiong Lei became.
This box is a whole, if you don't open the box under the cover, you can't take it out at all, and the peculiarity of this box is not limited to this.
When the box is opened, the place where Xiong Jiahui and the name of the store are engraved on the top will also slightly protrude, which also makes the name of Xiong Jiahui more prominent.
Xiong Lei is also a carpenter himself, a well-known carpenter in the industry with good craftsmanship, he naturally sees the reason why this box is so magical.
It was probably because under the sign, there was a thread that controlled the structure of the entire box like a spinning snail, but he couldn't figure out how to do it.
"This is exactly..." Xiong Lei opened his mouth and wanted to ask Shen Mo how he did it, but when he looked up, he found that Yang Renxiong had also stood beside him at some point.
Yang Renxiong had already noticed that the box was unusual, so he had already walked over.When Xiong Lei was studying the box just now, he was watching from the side, so he had already seen the strangeness of the box.
It was precisely because it could be seen that Yang Renxiong had already turned pale.He gritted his teeth and stood quietly at the side, racking his brains to figure out how the box he brought could surpass Shen Mo.
He didn't want to lose, he had already lost to Shen Mo once, and he didn't want to lose again.
"The cost of this box shouldn't be cheap, right?" Yang Renxiong said meanly, "Such a complicated mechanism should cost a lot of money."
Shen Mo didn't want to talk to him, he turned his head to look at Yu Yan who was beside him, Yu Yan who had been surprised by the box from the beginning reacted and quickly made an offer.
Shen Mo had already told him the materials used before so that he could set the price.
At first Yu Yan didn't think much about it, but now that the price was quoted, Yu Yan couldn't help but look at Shen Mo again.
The material cost Shen Mo reported to him was very low, almost the same as an ordinary wooden box.Shen Mo will not report the wrong number, which means that the box is not as expensive as Yang Renxiong said.
"How is this possible?" Yang Renxiong's expression became more and more ugly after hearing the quotation.
He is also a carpenter himself, so of course he knows the cost.The price quoted by Yu Yan is not to say high, it can even be considered low.
He couldn't even quote this price.
"How about it, where's yours?" Xiong Lei looked at Yang Renxiong who was on the side.
As he asked, he didn't put down Shen Mo's box, but put it next to his seat, obviously wishing to take it back and think about it right away.
Yang Renxiong looked back at the box he had put aside, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and took out the box.
Seeing this, several people looked over one after another, and Shen Mo did the same.
The food box that Yang Renxiong took out obviously took a lot of effort. Although the shape didn't change much because of Xiong Lei's requirement to fix the size, he put a lot of effort on the surface.
Especially the lid of the box, the entire lid is embossed, and the lifelike carvings surround the name of Xiong Jiahui in the middle, which looks extraordinarily delicate and exquisite.
Xiong Lei glanced at the box, and immediately lost interest, "What's so special about your box?"
Xiong Lei himself is also a carpenter. Yang Renxiong's hand carving can't be said to be bad, but Xiong Lei can do it himself, let alone do it.
If you really want to compare it, Shen Mo's ordinary box at first glance, and then the strange box, doesn't know how many times more interesting than Xiong Lei's one.
Regardless of Xiong Lei's own hobbies, if this sinking ink box is taken out and used, it will definitely make people's eyes shine, and the name Xiong's family will definitely impress people.
Seeing Xiong Lei's lack of interest, Yang Renxiong immediately understood what Xiong Lei meant. He looked at the box he brought, and at that moment he had the urge to rush up and smash it.
Annoyed, Yang Renxiong looked back at Shen Mo again, and said, "This box is not durable at all, and neither is the mortise and tenon you took out earlier. If I look at it, it's nothing more than sensationalism."
Shen Mo raised his eyebrows, mortise and tenon joints are something to please the public?
Yang Renxiong seemed to have grasped some weakness of Shen Mo, and immediately turned to look at Xiong Lei, "Master Xiong, this food box is a commonly used item. If it is not durable or easy to break, it will not be worth the candle."
When Xiong Lei heard this, the look of joy in his eyes faded a bit. Although he liked Shen Mo's box, he had to consider it.This food box was taken out for use, not for his collection.
Shen Mo originally didn't plan to talk to Yang Renxiong, so he has ignored Yang Renxiong's provocation since he entered the door, but at this moment, Shen Mo was angry.
Mortise and tenon are grandstanding, not durable, not strong?
Shen Mo's face was expressionless, and his black eyes were as cold as ice.He glanced at Yang Renxiong who was smiling wryly at him, then at Xiong Lei who was showing hesitation in front of him, and walked forward.
Shen Mo came in front of Xiong Lei, he silently took the food box and lifted it high, then under the suspicious gaze of everyone, he threw his hands hard and ruthlessly fell to the ground.
The floor of the living room was covered with stone slabs, and Shen Mo used all his strength to fall. The food box made a bang sound and immediately bounced up again. It rolled several times on the ground, and finally rolled to the corner before stopping.
But even so, the box still didn't mean to disintegrate at all.
Shen Mo was really angry when he fell, he fell hard, and the bang sound from the box also hit the hearts of several other people in the room hard.
Even Yang Renxiong was stunned by Shen Mo's fall at this moment, his eyes were full of surprise and disbelief.
After dropping things, Shen Mo turned back to look at the people in the room. His eyes were still cold, and even his voice was a bit cold, "There is absolutely no problem with the tenon and tenon structure."
These people don't understand anything at all, so they utter wild words, trying to please the public?The mortise and tenon structure can even support a palace for thousands of years!
In Shen Mo's world, there is still proof that it has stood up for 600 years.
The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests in the Temple of Heaven was built in the Yongle period of the Qianming Dynasty.
It is completely supported by a mortise and tenon structure. The entire hall is supported by 28 golden nanmu pillars and Jue Jue interconnected to support the entire roof. By the time of Shen Mo, it had existed for 600 years.
Is it not enough proof that it has stood upright for 600 years despite the wind and rain, and has even remained stable to this day?
After finishing speaking, Shen Mo raised his eyes and looked at Yang Renxiong coldly. His eyes were cold, and his anger was condensed into shape, like a sharp knife full of murderous intent, he stabbed straight at Yang Renxiong.
Shen Mo's personality has always been gentle, and he rarely conflicts with others, but at this moment he is really angry.That silent and angry appearance made everyone in the room fearful.
Yang Renxiong didn't dare to speak anymore, he looked at the box on the ground and then at Shen Mo, with a pale face, he cupped his fists at Xiong Lei, "I lost this time, I will take my leave."
After finishing speaking, Yang Renxiong couldn't stay any longer, took his own box, turned around with his tail between his legs, and went out in embarrassment.
This time was the same as last time, at the beginning he swore so hard but in the end he lost completely.But this time was different from the last time, last time he was full of anger and resignation, but this time he ran away in fear and embarrassment.
Shen Mo was angry, and the rest of the people in the room also avoided looking at him, not daring to meet him.
Yu Yan twitched the corners of his mouth, but in the end he couldn't show a peaceful smile. He greeted Xiong Lei and went out with Shen Mo.
Shen Mo was speechless all the way, but Yu Yan didn't dare to break the silence.
Shen Mo left, and the living room became quiet again.
Xiong Lei lay back and leaned on the back of the chair. He let out a breath and relaxed his body that was tense because of Shen Mo's anger.
Behind the screen in the corner, a person came out at this moment.After Qi Yunshu came out, he glanced at the food box lying alone on the ground, and then looked at Xiong Lei at the side, "How is it?"
Xiong Lei shook his head and was speechless for a while.Shen Mo's aggressive aura just now made him, who has been in the mall for a long time, hold his breath and become nervous. Who is Shen Mo?
Seeing him like this, Qi Yunshu couldn't help smiling, "I can't mistake anyone, he is the most talented carpenter I have ever seen, and the things he produces are absolutely extraordinary."
After the words fell, Qi Yunshu seemed to think of something again, and his eyes became more gentle, "Even he is the most interesting person I have ever met."
Xiong Lei said nothing, just listened quietly.
"Also, I've made a note of what happened this time, if you let me know that you do this kind of thing again..." Qi Yunshu looked back with a warning in his eyes.
Xiong Lei had already placed an order for Shen Mo, and many people knew about it, but Xiong Lei asked Yang Renxiong to participate in this kind of ridiculous competition when the matter came to an end.
It was also Shen Mo who won, and if the news spread about him really losing, it might be bad news, and it might affect Shen Mo's reputation in the future.For people like Shen Mo who rely on fame and craftsmanship for their livelihood, this is undoubtedly a stain that will never be erased for a lifetime!
Qi Yunshu didn't intend to stay for long, he walked to the side and picked up the box that fell on the ground, lightly patted off the dust on it, and went out with them.
Qi Yunshu's attention was all on the box. Seeing that the box was broken at one corner and the whole box was still firm, the tenderness in his eyes became more tender and regretful.
While smiling, Qi Yunshu suddenly stopped because he found someone in front of him.
There was a person standing outside the door at some point, and Qi Yunshu confronted him as soon as he went out.
Qi Yunshu looked up, and the moment he saw Shen Mo's face, there was a loud buzzing in his head,
Qi Yunshu closed his eyes tightly and lay motionless on the bed.
The housekeeper showed joy when he saw this, took the medicine bowl that was put aside, and walked out the door, "The old slave will give orders immediately, let the people below be smarter for a while, and you don't have to worry about the delivery, young master." , take a good rest for a few days."
Qi Yunshu didn't move, acquiescing to the butler's actions.
The housekeeper left the room and the door was closed again. Qi Yunshu, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes. He looked up at the top of the bed, feeling a little absent-minded for a moment.
He should be a smart man, but now he is doing stupid things.
Shen Mo didn't like Shuang'er at all, and they had such a relationship, even if the child was really born, the possibility of Shen Mo falling in love with him was very slim.
Qi Yunshu closed his eyes again, trying not to think about it, but the sarcasm in Shen Mo's eyes when he talked about Shuanger appeared in his mind.
The cold sarcasm was like a needle piercing Qi Yunshu's heart, making his chest feel like being scraped by a blade, and he couldn't breathe.
Qi Yunshu was sleepy all night, sometimes fell asleep and sometimes woke up. In his dreams, he could always see Shen Mo's eyes that were always cold and disgusted. When he woke up, he felt throbbing pain in his stomach.
The night passed.
In the early morning of the next day, Shen Mo, who got up early to pack his things, took the daily necessities he had packed and the brand new set of tools, and went to the workshop in the town. The Qi family arranged for someone to take him to the big workshop.
When Shen Mo arrived, the carriage that sent him was already waiting there.
It was still early at this time, and it was just foggy and bright, the huge streets were empty, only a few shops selling soy milk and fried dough sticks that got up early were yawning and working.
Shen Mo got into the carriage, and the man drove the carriage out of town.
Going south all the way, the carriage stopped in front of a city gate until the evening.
Shen Mo opened the curtains and looked outside. This is an old and big old city.
Under the setting sun covered by old trees and dead vines, there is an old wall covered with moss. In the middle of the wall, there are four soldiers guarding the gate, and all the people who come in and out in the middle of the road are residents who are rushing home.
Shen Mo took a special look, this city is called Qingcheng.
The carriage entered the city and continued driving for about half an hour before stopping at a place that looked like a large mansion.
There was already someone waiting at the door, and after Shen Mo got off the carriage, the man greeted him, and Qi Yunshu had already explained everything.
"I've already had someone clean it up. See if there's anything else you need, just ask." The person who greeted Shen Mo led Shen Mo to the residence arranged for him by the Qi family.
It was a separate small courtyard located in a large mansion. The courtyard was not too big. There was a small garden outside, a study and a bedroom inside.
This entire mansion is owned by the Qi family, and it is a dormitory for the carpenters who work in the big workshop.
Those who can live here are master-level figures in the big workshop, and other ordinary students and workers live in another yard specially set up next to it.
The arrangement here is pretty good. In addition to a separate small courtyard for one person, there are also special personnel in the large courtyard who are responsible for meals and cleaning, and they can just ask for anything.
Shen Mo went into the room and took a look around. The daily necessities in the room were basically prepared. He put the things down and thanked the person.
"The workshop is not far away. It's just around the corner when you go out. It's very convenient to come and go. Get a good rest tonight, and I'll take you there tomorrow morning." The man said.
Shen Mo agreed, and after eating the dinner that the man had sent, he lay down early to rest.
On the second day, Shen Mo, who had a good rest, followed the man to the big workshop nearby.
That workshop is called a big workshop, not only to distinguish it from other ordinary workshops of the Qi family, but also because it is really big.
This large workshop is located near the outskirts of the city and occupies a very large area.
In addition to several large warehouses used to store various kinds of wood, there are six or seven workshops for working alone.And each individual workshop is as big as five ordinary rooms, and it looks very grand when you look around.
"Currently, there are six masters working here, including you, a total of seven people. On weekdays, everyone does their own thing. If you are interested, you can go make friends, but they also have some weird tempers."
"The Qi family in each workshop has some workers who are responsible for helping. You can use these people with confidence. If you have any dissatisfaction or other things, you can tell me."
"As for the materials in the warehouse, the master chef is free to use them, as long as they record them, and you can tell me if there is anything that is not enough or lacking, but you can't take it out for personal gain."
The person who received Shen Mo yesterday led Shen Mo around the workshop, and then brought Shen Mo to the workshop assigned to him.
The workshop is divided into several parts, and the layout is a bit like the workshop next to Qi's house.
Most of the space in the house is opened up as a large workshop, with rows of workbenches inside, and there is also a separate inner room, which is exclusively used by the master chef in charge.
Big workshops are a little different from ordinary small workshops. The orders received here are almost all big orders, and the customers they contact are also distinguished customers. Therefore, the masters in charge here are usually in charge of design and supervision.
Once the order is in hand, like the one in the academy before, the master master designs the samples, and then the carpenters and apprentices in his own workshop make a large number of them, and the master master supervises the work.
It's not that the master master doesn't do it himself, there are actually quite a lot of opportunities like this.
When powerful and powerful families or officials custom-made furniture or other things for their own homes, most of them were done by the masters themselves, and they would not be handed over to other workers as apprentices.
Shen Mo followed that person around the whole workshop all morning, and met some people in the workshop that he would be in charge of in the future. It was not until noon that he finally stopped.
"I'm the person in charge of the big workshop. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me directly. Mr. Qi has already ordered me to help you more, so you can just ask." Until the end, the man was himself introduce.
The man's name was Yu Yan, and he was the person in charge of this large workshop.
He is young, only in his early thirties, and he is not very proficient in production. He is mainly responsible for the external business of the workshop and the supplement of various materials for the workshop.
Shen Mo had a good impression of Yu Yan, he didn't have the aloofness and arrogance of a negative person, on the contrary, he was quite humble and easy-going, making it hard to hate.
"Before I came, I heard that someone called me by name and said that there was a list. Do you know what happened?" Shen Mo asked after thanking him.
"The list is in my hands now, so it's not urgent. If you want to get familiar with the environment for a day or two, it's fine." Yu Yan smiled, very considerate.
Newcomer here, not familiar with anything, if you have time to familiarize yourself with the environment, it is naturally the best choice, but Shen Mo did not choose to do so.
"No need, you can gradually get familiar with the environment, but I want to take a look at the list first." Shen Mo said.
This is his first order here, he naturally attaches great importance to it, and it seems that the other party is not easy to deal with, so the sooner he prepares, the better.
Yu Yan nodded, and then told Shen Mo about the list.
The order was given by a regular customer of Qi's family. He is in the food business and often customizes some food boxes or other seats and benches at Qi's family.
This time his customized list is a food box.The size of the food box has fixed specifications, and Yu Yan told Shen Mo the specifications.
As for the food box, the other party asked not only for the fixed size, but also to engrave his shop's name on it. Besides that, there was only one requirement, and that was novelty.
This list seems simple and easy, just asking to make a food box of a fixed size, and then engrave the name of the store, but in fact, the word novelty alone is already a headache.
Although the box is not as common as benches and tables, it is already unable to find any new tricks.
And this kind of list is not a gamble, the more complicated and exquisite the craftsmanship, the more points will be added. Their workshop is a business, so naturally, cost and profit must be considered.
After Yu Yan finished talking about the specific situation, he briefly mentioned the situation of the regular customer.
That regular customer was indeed just as Shen Mo had heard before, he was not an easy person to deal with.
He had also customized some other things in the big workshop before, and basically never passed it once. He was very picky and demanding, and all the masters in the workshop were already afraid of him.
However, the other party's business is very big, and there are his shops everywhere in the north and south of the country.His order is also a big deal for the Qi family, so even if it is difficult to deal with, the Qi family has been fighting for it.
"How is it?" Yu Yan looked at Shen Mo worriedly after finishing the specific situation.
It was unlucky for Shen Mo to encounter such a tricky list as soon as he arrived.
Shen Mo's eyes drooped slightly, he thought over and over again and Yu Yan said, when he raised his head again, there was a faint smile on his face, "I'll bring you the sample tomorrow?"
Yu Yan was stunned. He didn't expect Shen Mo to ask this. He said, "Yes, I'll show him after your sample is ready. If he says yes, then you can start making it."
Shen Mo nodded, asked some more about the food box, and then left.
Shen Mo went back to the small courtyard, took the tools, and went to the workshop that he will manage in the future.He greeted several old craftsmen in the workshop, asked for some more materials, and then went inside to get busy.
He already had an idea about the food box.
The news about Shen Mo's arrival in Qingcheng had already spread on the first night he arrived here.
The other masters in the big workshop were full of curiosity about Shen Mo, and the workers and apprentices working in the workshop were naturally also curious. After all, it was the first time in history that Shen Mo entered the workshop as a master at his age.
There was a lot of discussion among the people, and the news naturally spread in Qingcheng. People who knew who Shen Mo was didn't mention it, and those who didn't know naturally asked around.
It was already the next morning when the news reached Yang Renxiong.
Knowing that Shen Mo also came to Qingcheng, and became the master chef of the Qi family's big workshop, Yang Renxiong, who was still completely angry, immediately changed his face.
In Yang Renxiong's small workshop, several old friends who were close to him immediately guessed the reason when they saw him like this, and laughed at him one after another.
"Why, are you still angry?" Someone asked.
"It seems that Qi Yunshu really likes him so much that he is willing to let him be his master." Yang Renxiong said in a strange way, "There must be something between the two of them, right?"
"What do you mean?" The people next to him looked at each other, wondering what Yang Renxiong meant.
"You don't know where the Qi Family Workshop is? Don't say anything else, let you go, can you get in?" Yang Renxiong's words were full of sourness.
The Qi Family Workshop is not a place that ordinary people can enter casually. It not only represents the face of the Qi Family, but also the face of all colleagues on their side, because the Qi Family Workshop is also considered a place on their side. Representative exists.
There have always been many people who want to enter Qi's house, but there are only a handful of people who can really enter.
"Then what is Shen Mo's ability, he can do it when he wants to?" Yang Renxiong snorted coldly, his face was gloomy, "I think he might not rely on his ability as a carpenter."
Qi Yunshu favored Shen Mo everywhere, and there might be some ulterior and dirty deal between the two of them.
"You really think so?"
"Then Qi Yunshu is not young anymore, but he has never had a wife or concubine at home. If you ask me, maybe you just fell in love with him." Yang Renxiong said.
Several people nearby looked at each other, noncommittal.
One of them seemed to have thought of something, and said, "Whether he has the real ability or not, we will know in two days."
"Oh?"
"Haven't you heard of it? This time, Xiong's order was made by name."
"The Xiong family?" Yang Renxiong was slightly surprised, the Xiong family was notoriously difficult to deal with.
Seeing that Yang Renxiong really didn't know, the person next to him told the story, and at the end he couldn't help but sigh that Shen Mo was unlucky.
Yang Renxiong's mind was not on that, his eyeballs rolled, and after a while he got up and walked towards the door.
Seeing this, several people hurriedly caught up with him and asked him what he wanted to do, but Yang Renxiong only said that he was going to have a look.Everyone was puzzled at first, until they followed Yang Renxiong to the gate of Jia's house.
Everyone was surprised, Yang Renxiong had stepped forward to report his name, saying that he wanted to meet Xiong Dangjia.
Yang Renxiong is quite well-known in Qingcheng. He runs a workshop by himself. Because he makes more sculptures and handicrafts, the source of customers is also considered stable.
After the servants of the Xiong family went in to report, Yang Renxiong and his party were invited in not long after.
In the side hall of the Xiong family, Xiong Lei, the head of the Xiong family, sat at the head, looking thoughtfully at Yang Renxiong in front of him, "So you want to try?"
"That's right, I think I'm fully capable, and I'm sure I can make something that satisfies Xiong Dangjia." Yang Renxiong was very confident.
The Xiong family's order is a big one, if he can grab it and make it, it will not only make Shen Mo have no choice but to avenge the previous Chen Xiangmu, it will also make him a fortune.
Xiong Lei was thoughtful, he thought for a moment, did not refuse, but said, "Yes, if the one you brought out is better than his, then I will use yours."
Yang Renxiong was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly thanked him.Xiong Lei just smiled and asked people to see off the guests.
After Yang Renxiong and the others left, Xiong Lei thought about it and sent someone to report to Qi's house, telling them about the change in the list.
In the big workshop of the Qi family, Yu Yan frowned immediately when he heard the news.
It is not uncommon for them to grab business, especially for such a big order, and many people want to fight for it, after all, it is all money.
Generally speaking, as long as the other party doesn't use any shady means and really comes up with something that can satisfy customers more than them, then they have nothing to say if they lose, but the Xiong family has always cooperated with them.
Yu Yan immediately went to investigate the situation himself, but Xiong Lei was tight-lipped. In his words, he spent money just to get a good one, and if he was not satisfied with the money, he could choose a better one.
When Xiong Lei talked about this, Yu Yan naturally had nothing to say, so he could only go back to the house and went to find Shen Mo again.
When Shen Mo learned about the situation, heard Yang Renxiong's name, and then contacted the previous appraisal meeting, he quickly wanted to understand the reason.
For Yang Renxiong's way of prying the corner of the wall, Shen Mo is both funny and disdainful.
Yang Renxiong's character is not as good as Bai Hao's and the others, if he is really not convinced, it would be better for him to argue with him directly, why bother to use tricks behind his back?
Shen Mo disdained Yang Renxiong's actions, but Yu Yan got more and more headaches. As we all know, Xiong Dangjia's vision is high. As we all know, he was already difficult to deal with. Now that there is such a shit-stirring stick, things suddenly become more troublesome.
"Are you sure there is no problem?" Yu Yan looked at Shen Mo with some anxiety while having a headache.
"Don't worry." The corners of Shen Mo's mouth curled up without wavering.
Yu Yan looked at Shen Mo suspiciously for a while, seeing that Shen Mo seemed to be really sure, and remembering that Qi Yunshu had told him about Shen Mo before, he said, "If that's the case, then you will go to Xiong's house with me tomorrow morning."
"To the bear's house?"
"Master Xiong told you two to take the things directly for him to look at. If he is satisfied with someone else's, he will directly adopt that one." Yu Yan said.
Shen Mo nodded and agreed.
Yu Yan left and left the workshop. After thinking about it, he still had someone send a message to Qi Yunshu.
Xiong Lei and the others agreed on the next afternoon, and when the time came, Yu Yan brought Shen Mo to visit.
When they arrived, Yang Renxiong and his group of cronies had already arrived, and the tea had already been drunk.
Seeing Shen Mo enter the door, several people in the room stopped and looked over.
Xiong's business is eating, and the business is very big, and there are their shops almost everywhere.The Xiong family has a big business, and the family business they bought in Qingcheng is naturally big.
Shen Mo followed Yu Yan and walked around the Xiong's house for a while before finally arriving at the place. When he entered the door, Shen Mo was preparing to brace himself to deal with it at any time, when he looked up, he saw Xiong Lei sitting in the upper seat.
The moment he saw Xiong Lei, Shen Mo paused for a moment.
Because the man sitting on the top seat, whom Yu Yan has always called Xiong Dang's family, is clearly one of the group of people that Qi Yunshu took him to meet before, the man with a round figure and a finger puller.
Recognizing Xiong Lei, Shen Mo didn't point it out, but followed Yu Yan to say hello, the purpose of his coming here was the food box.
Xiong Lei didn't shy away from it, and greeted Shen Mo, "We meet again."
Everyone looked at Shen Mo in surprise when they heard the words. Shen Mo clasped his fists, and for a while really didn't know what to say.
To say they are familiar, they have only met once.If they were unfamiliar, they had indeed chatted all afternoon, and they got along quite well.
"Master Xiong, please don't forget the purpose of this time." Seeing that the two knew each other, Yang Renxiong immediately became displeased.
Xiong Lei laughed, and nodded his head looking at the rather wealthy man with a round body, and immediately said what he said before.
He only wants this food box to be good, and what he wants.
"Then you come first, I'll let you, so you don't get caught saying that I'm a bully." Yang Renxiong looked at Shen Mo with a smile.
He has a box wrapped in cloth by his hand, and it seems that he is very confident in his work.
Xiong Lei didn't say anything, just watched the show.
Hearing this, Yu Yan frowned slightly. At this time, it doesn't matter who comes first. Everything has already been done, and it is impossible to change it.Yang Renxiong was pretending to be generous at this time, which only made people feel more disgusted.
Hearing this, Shen Mo stood up, and he put the box he brought on the table carried by the servants.
Shen Mo didn't pretend to be mysterious, he moved very neatly.After putting the things on the table, the things inside were exposed directly.
It was a rectangular box, and the specifications and dimensions were made according to Xiong Lei's previous request, and there was nothing else.
Seeing the box, the faces of the people in the room changed instantly.
After a brief moment of surprise flashed across Yang Renxiong's face, he immediately showed a bit of sarcasm and a bit of disdain. He even felt that it was a joke that he took Shen Mo seriously before.
When Yu Yan saw the box, his face was full of surprise and bewilderment, and after he was bewildered, he faintly revealed a bit of uneasiness.He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.
Xiong Lei was relatively calm, except for the surprise on his face at the beginning, he had always looked like an outsider who was watching a theater.
Everyone's expressions were different, and there was no other reason, but because the things Shen Mo brought out were too ordinary.It was a long, rectangular wooden box that can be seen everywhere, and there is nothing else, no carvings or any unique features.
The box was made according to the size given by Xiong Lei before, square and square, only the lines at the corners were processed to make it more rounded and not so bumpy.
The color of the box is also the color of the original wood. When Shen Mo made this product, he only applied a layer of beeswax after finishing, so even the color was not outstanding.
As far as this box is concerned, if there is anything worth mentioning, it is probably that there is a shop name engraved obliquely on the upper left corner of the box.
But even this, it looks like Shen Mo engraved it because Xiong Lei asked for it. If Xiong Lei didn't ask, he might even save this.
"What are you doing? Why, you feel that you have no chance of winning, so you gave up?" Yang Renxiong couldn't help but ask.
He originally thought that Shen Mo was really great, but now it seems that he thinks highly of Shen Mo. If he had known that Shen Mo was such an inconspicuous person, he would not have had to get angry with Shen Mo at all.
Yang Renxiong felt funny about what he did, and being angry with a person who knows nothing, wouldn't that be the same as competing with a fool?He shook his head and laughed out loud, not knowing whether he was laughing at himself or Shen Mo.
Shen Mo glanced at him, ignored him, and ignored him.
Yang Renxiong was instantly irritated by Shen Mo's attitude, but he quickly endured it.From his point of view, at this time, there was no need for him to continue to get angry with Shen Mo, because that would only make him look more stupid.
Yang Renxiong looked back at Xiong Lei, he smiled and asked, "Master Xiong, do you think this is still necessary to compare?"
As for the box made by Shen Mo, he was much better than him when he was an apprentice.
Xiong Lei ignored Yang Renxiong, he got up and walked up to take a closer look, "Is this what you made?"
After getting closer, the condition of the box can barely be seen. The box is still Shen Mo's unique technique, and it is assembled with a mortise and tenon structure.
However, Xiong Lei has seen the mortise and tenon style used in this box before, and even thought about it himself, so if it is strange, it is nothing special.
After seeing the appearance, Xiong Lei stretched out his hand to open the box again. He wanted to see if there was anything strange inside the box, but after this movement, he realized that the box couldn't be opened.
"It's not like this." Shen Mo finally spoke.
Shen Mo stretched out his hand and took the box a few minutes in front of him. After taking the things over, his white and slender fingers slid from the edge of the box to the position of the Xiong's store name logo on the lid.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Mo pressed his thumb against the edge of the box, and with a force, the entire cover broke from the middle, and then slid to the side.
It is not the whole cover that slides, but two-thirds of the cover. The incision is oblique, and the whole looks like it has been cut obliquely.
Seeing the cover slide to the side, several people in the room were a little surprised, but that was all. They had not seen such a box with a slanted sliding cover.
But Shen Mo's movements didn't stop. He slid the cover to the side and then continued to slide. Just after the cover was slid to the end, after an imperceptible click sound, the part of the logo protruded a little and became conspicuous.
Almost at the same time, the box below was also lifted up.
Yu Yan and the others were still surprised, but Xiong Lei had already reacted immediately. He quickly took the box and held it in front of him.
The body of the box, which was originally fit perfectly, has turned into upper and lower layers at some point. Xiong Lei tried it, and the upper layer can be rotated like the lid.
After the upper layer was rotated, the lower box was also exposed.
Unfolding the box completely, Xiong Lei's eyes lit up involuntarily.
He turned the box back, and after turning it back to its original position, he turned the lid again.
When the lid was turned, the box that popped up below began to slowly retract again. When the lid was fully fitted, the box had returned to its normal appearance.
The structure of the entire box is like a fan. After turning the top cover, the second-tier box will also pop out slowly. When the cover is fully turned, the second-tier box also reaches the height that can be rotated.
Xiong Lei tried several times, turned back and forth several times, the more he turned, the more he understood the structure of the box, the more surprised Xiong Lei became.
This box is a whole, if you don't open the box under the cover, you can't take it out at all, and the peculiarity of this box is not limited to this.
When the box is opened, the place where Xiong Jiahui and the name of the store are engraved on the top will also slightly protrude, which also makes the name of Xiong Jiahui more prominent.
Xiong Lei is also a carpenter himself, a well-known carpenter in the industry with good craftsmanship, he naturally sees the reason why this box is so magical.
It was probably because under the sign, there was a thread that controlled the structure of the entire box like a spinning snail, but he couldn't figure out how to do it.
"This is exactly..." Xiong Lei opened his mouth and wanted to ask Shen Mo how he did it, but when he looked up, he found that Yang Renxiong had also stood beside him at some point.
Yang Renxiong had already noticed that the box was unusual, so he had already walked over.When Xiong Lei was studying the box just now, he was watching from the side, so he had already seen the strangeness of the box.
It was precisely because it could be seen that Yang Renxiong had already turned pale.He gritted his teeth and stood quietly at the side, racking his brains to figure out how the box he brought could surpass Shen Mo.
He didn't want to lose, he had already lost to Shen Mo once, and he didn't want to lose again.
"The cost of this box shouldn't be cheap, right?" Yang Renxiong said meanly, "Such a complicated mechanism should cost a lot of money."
Shen Mo didn't want to talk to him, he turned his head to look at Yu Yan who was beside him, Yu Yan who had been surprised by the box from the beginning reacted and quickly made an offer.
Shen Mo had already told him the materials used before so that he could set the price.
At first Yu Yan didn't think much about it, but now that the price was quoted, Yu Yan couldn't help but look at Shen Mo again.
The material cost Shen Mo reported to him was very low, almost the same as an ordinary wooden box.Shen Mo will not report the wrong number, which means that the box is not as expensive as Yang Renxiong said.
"How is this possible?" Yang Renxiong's expression became more and more ugly after hearing the quotation.
He is also a carpenter himself, so of course he knows the cost.The price quoted by Yu Yan is not to say high, it can even be considered low.
He couldn't even quote this price.
"How about it, where's yours?" Xiong Lei looked at Yang Renxiong who was on the side.
As he asked, he didn't put down Shen Mo's box, but put it next to his seat, obviously wishing to take it back and think about it right away.
Yang Renxiong looked back at the box he had put aside, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and took out the box.
Seeing this, several people looked over one after another, and Shen Mo did the same.
The food box that Yang Renxiong took out obviously took a lot of effort. Although the shape didn't change much because of Xiong Lei's requirement to fix the size, he put a lot of effort on the surface.
Especially the lid of the box, the entire lid is embossed, and the lifelike carvings surround the name of Xiong Jiahui in the middle, which looks extraordinarily delicate and exquisite.
Xiong Lei glanced at the box, and immediately lost interest, "What's so special about your box?"
Xiong Lei himself is also a carpenter. Yang Renxiong's hand carving can't be said to be bad, but Xiong Lei can do it himself, let alone do it.
If you really want to compare it, Shen Mo's ordinary box at first glance, and then the strange box, doesn't know how many times more interesting than Xiong Lei's one.
Regardless of Xiong Lei's own hobbies, if this sinking ink box is taken out and used, it will definitely make people's eyes shine, and the name Xiong's family will definitely impress people.
Seeing Xiong Lei's lack of interest, Yang Renxiong immediately understood what Xiong Lei meant. He looked at the box he brought, and at that moment he had the urge to rush up and smash it.
Annoyed, Yang Renxiong looked back at Shen Mo again, and said, "This box is not durable at all, and neither is the mortise and tenon you took out earlier. If I look at it, it's nothing more than sensationalism."
Shen Mo raised his eyebrows, mortise and tenon joints are something to please the public?
Yang Renxiong seemed to have grasped some weakness of Shen Mo, and immediately turned to look at Xiong Lei, "Master Xiong, this food box is a commonly used item. If it is not durable or easy to break, it will not be worth the candle."
When Xiong Lei heard this, the look of joy in his eyes faded a bit. Although he liked Shen Mo's box, he had to consider it.This food box was taken out for use, not for his collection.
Shen Mo originally didn't plan to talk to Yang Renxiong, so he has ignored Yang Renxiong's provocation since he entered the door, but at this moment, Shen Mo was angry.
Mortise and tenon are grandstanding, not durable, not strong?
Shen Mo's face was expressionless, and his black eyes were as cold as ice.He glanced at Yang Renxiong who was smiling wryly at him, then at Xiong Lei who was showing hesitation in front of him, and walked forward.
Shen Mo came in front of Xiong Lei, he silently took the food box and lifted it high, then under the suspicious gaze of everyone, he threw his hands hard and ruthlessly fell to the ground.
The floor of the living room was covered with stone slabs, and Shen Mo used all his strength to fall. The food box made a bang sound and immediately bounced up again. It rolled several times on the ground, and finally rolled to the corner before stopping.
But even so, the box still didn't mean to disintegrate at all.
Shen Mo was really angry when he fell, he fell hard, and the bang sound from the box also hit the hearts of several other people in the room hard.
Even Yang Renxiong was stunned by Shen Mo's fall at this moment, his eyes were full of surprise and disbelief.
After dropping things, Shen Mo turned back to look at the people in the room. His eyes were still cold, and even his voice was a bit cold, "There is absolutely no problem with the tenon and tenon structure."
These people don't understand anything at all, so they utter wild words, trying to please the public?The mortise and tenon structure can even support a palace for thousands of years!
In Shen Mo's world, there is still proof that it has stood up for 600 years.
The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests in the Temple of Heaven was built in the Yongle period of the Qianming Dynasty.
It is completely supported by a mortise and tenon structure. The entire hall is supported by 28 golden nanmu pillars and Jue Jue interconnected to support the entire roof. By the time of Shen Mo, it had existed for 600 years.
Is it not enough proof that it has stood upright for 600 years despite the wind and rain, and has even remained stable to this day?
After finishing speaking, Shen Mo raised his eyes and looked at Yang Renxiong coldly. His eyes were cold, and his anger was condensed into shape, like a sharp knife full of murderous intent, he stabbed straight at Yang Renxiong.
Shen Mo's personality has always been gentle, and he rarely conflicts with others, but at this moment he is really angry.That silent and angry appearance made everyone in the room fearful.
Yang Renxiong didn't dare to speak anymore, he looked at the box on the ground and then at Shen Mo, with a pale face, he cupped his fists at Xiong Lei, "I lost this time, I will take my leave."
After finishing speaking, Yang Renxiong couldn't stay any longer, took his own box, turned around with his tail between his legs, and went out in embarrassment.
This time was the same as last time, at the beginning he swore so hard but in the end he lost completely.But this time was different from the last time, last time he was full of anger and resignation, but this time he ran away in fear and embarrassment.
Shen Mo was angry, and the rest of the people in the room also avoided looking at him, not daring to meet him.
Yu Yan twitched the corners of his mouth, but in the end he couldn't show a peaceful smile. He greeted Xiong Lei and went out with Shen Mo.
Shen Mo was speechless all the way, but Yu Yan didn't dare to break the silence.
Shen Mo left, and the living room became quiet again.
Xiong Lei lay back and leaned on the back of the chair. He let out a breath and relaxed his body that was tense because of Shen Mo's anger.
Behind the screen in the corner, a person came out at this moment.After Qi Yunshu came out, he glanced at the food box lying alone on the ground, and then looked at Xiong Lei at the side, "How is it?"
Xiong Lei shook his head and was speechless for a while.Shen Mo's aggressive aura just now made him, who has been in the mall for a long time, hold his breath and become nervous. Who is Shen Mo?
Seeing him like this, Qi Yunshu couldn't help smiling, "I can't mistake anyone, he is the most talented carpenter I have ever seen, and the things he produces are absolutely extraordinary."
After the words fell, Qi Yunshu seemed to think of something again, and his eyes became more gentle, "Even he is the most interesting person I have ever met."
Xiong Lei said nothing, just listened quietly.
"Also, I've made a note of what happened this time, if you let me know that you do this kind of thing again..." Qi Yunshu looked back with a warning in his eyes.
Xiong Lei had already placed an order for Shen Mo, and many people knew about it, but Xiong Lei asked Yang Renxiong to participate in this kind of ridiculous competition when the matter came to an end.
It was also Shen Mo who won, and if the news spread about him really losing, it might be bad news, and it might affect Shen Mo's reputation in the future.For people like Shen Mo who rely on fame and craftsmanship for their livelihood, this is undoubtedly a stain that will never be erased for a lifetime!
Qi Yunshu didn't intend to stay for long, he walked to the side and picked up the box that fell on the ground, lightly patted off the dust on it, and went out with them.
Qi Yunshu's attention was all on the box. Seeing that the box was broken at one corner and the whole box was still firm, the tenderness in his eyes became more tender and regretful.
While smiling, Qi Yunshu suddenly stopped because he found someone in front of him.
There was a person standing outside the door at some point, and Qi Yunshu confronted him as soon as he went out.
Qi Yunshu looked up, and the moment he saw Shen Mo's face, there was a loud buzzing in his head,
