Chapter 193 She really picked up a treasure this time, this is a great sculptor of his generation!
Overnight, there were five more people in the house. Chen Xinghai and his sister, as well as servants such as Kang Ruolan, were all very calm.
These people have already pledged allegiance to mother/madam, so from now on they are a family.
Starting today, Xiao De, Xiao Tian and others will take office and be sent to different places.
"Mom, I have to go to the county town today." Chen Xingyun said enthusiastically.
"Going to buy a shop?" Xiao Ying asked with a smile, "Have you found a carver?"
Chen Xingyun immediately shook his head in disappointment. "I did find out about a few, but they all have their own work and don't want to come here. However, we can cooperate with them on packaging boxes."
Xiao Ying was not surprised and consoled him, "Take your time. If you really can't find anything, just sell some simple items first."
"Alas... this is the only way."
Chen Xingyun was helpless. He didn't expect that the plan was going well, but when it came to implementation, it failed at the first step. It turned out that doing business is not that easy.
"Master, do you need a craftsman who can carve?"
At this moment, a puzzled voice came from outside the door. It was the newly recruited Xiao Wei and Xiao Guo.
Xiao Guo is only in his early twenties and his appearance is not outstanding, but his long-term martial arts training has given him a well-proportioned figure. His many years in the Dark Night Pavilion have added a sense of mystery to him.
He and Xiao Kun were originally assigned to guard the soap workshop, but the workshop had not been completed yet, so they lived in the house first.
"Why, do you know such a person?"
Xiao Ying was quite surprised. He didn't expect that these killers had such extensive connections.
Xiao Guo smiled embarrassedly, and his not-so-fair face turned slightly red.
"My Lord, I learned some carving skills before entering the Dark Night Pavilion. I heard that my ancestors were great craftsmen."
"However, I only learned the basics. When I was eight years old, my family suffered a tragedy and I was left alone. By some strange coincidence, I was taken to the Dark Night Pavilion."
"Over the years, I've carved some small things in the pavilion, and people often make fun of me for not doing my job properly."
When he said this, his eyes were full of loss.
Xiao Ying and Chen Xingyun were extremely surprised. This was really like sending a pillow when you are sleepy!
It is really surprising that a silver-level killer of the Dark Night Pavilion is actually a descendant of a master craftsman and is proficient in carving.
"It seems like it was the right decision to send you to the soap workshop."
Xiao Ying smiled and thought to herself that it was indeed God's will.
"Big Brother, can you let me see the little object you carved?"
Chen Xingyun's eyes lit up and he walked forward to ask for it without any hesitation, which made Xiao Guo's face turn even redder.
Xiao Guo hurriedly took out a few small things from his sleeves. Some were carved from wood, some were made of bamboo, and one was actually a walnut shell.
All of them are exquisite.
How could this be just superficial? He was clearly a master of sculpture!
Such a talent is actually buried in the Dark Night Pavilion, what a waste of talent!
"Amazing, really amazing! Look, mom, these carvings are so exquisite!"
Chen Xingyun presented it to Xiao Ying as if it were a treasure. This skill could fully satisfy everything she wanted, including the fourth-level customization.
Xiao Ying looked at the small objects one by one, and a look of amazement appeared in his eyes. It was really hard to imagine that such a delicate structure could be carved out of small objects by hand.
She really picked up a big treasure this time!
"It's really impressive." She nodded approvingly.
Xiao Guoze's face turned red all the way to his neck due to the praise from the two, and he felt more sour.
It turns out that the thing that has been ridiculed for so many years is actually appreciated by someone. At that moment, he felt that all his persistence over the years was worth it.
"How about you not have to perform other tasks from now on and just carve for the workshop?"
Xiao Ying asked without hesitation.
"I wonder what the master needs to carve?" Xiao Guo suppressed his excitement.
Xiao Ying said, "I'm building a soap workshop and need a variety of molds. I'll also accept custom orders to create unique styles for customers."
"You can rest assured about the wages. The minimum monthly salary is ten taels of silver. If you receive subsequent custom orders, you can get a 15% commission on each piece."
She would naturally not be stingy when it came to treating skilled craftsmen. If Xiao Guo thought the price was too little, they could continue to negotiate.
However, Xiao Guo is not very keen on money. To be able to reach the level of a silver-level killer, one must have some wealth.
For someone like him, he had saved up several thousand taels of silver notes, which was enough for an ordinary person to live for several lifetimes.
"Master, I don't need the wages, but I have only one request."
He said a little nervously.
"You say." Xiao Ying was very curious. What could be more important than making money?
Xiao Guo took a deep breath and mustered up his courage to say, "If there is a way, I hope to become a cultivator as well."
Anyone who has witnessed the power of cultivators would want to embark on the path of cultivation.
Even though he had been tested to have no spiritual roots back then, since coming here and witnessing his master's methods, his long-dormant heart has been rekindled.
What if? What if the master has a solution?
Xiao Ying looked a little strange at his expectant gaze, but she could understand it.
"Then I need to see how your spiritual roots are. If the gap is too big, I'm afraid I can't do anything."
If there is one close to 50, a psychic grass can make his wish come true.
Although she didn't have much spiritual grass left, she could still reward those who had made contributions.
"Master, do you really have a solution? Then what should I do?"
Xiao Guo was suddenly overjoyed and became very excited, but his excitement was mixed with some nervousness.
He really wanted to become a monk and was afraid that all this was just a dream.
"Let's test our spiritual roots first."
Xiao Ying casually took out the spirit-testing stone and asked someone to call Xiao Qi and others over to test together.
The result was not surprising at all. Except for Xiao Qi, who was at the fourth level of Qi Refining, the other four had no spiritual roots, and none of them had even reached level 49.
"Your best spiritual root is the wood spiritual root, with a value of 48. You need to have it at least over 50 before you can cultivate it."
Xiao Ying's tone was filled with regret, and Xiao Guo was even more depressed. The fire of hope that had just risen was extinguished just like that. Was it really true that he didn't have the fate to do this in this life?
Xiao Ying added: "First, use the spiritual spring water to nourish it for a while, and then see if the value will increase."
If Xiao Guo's stats could rise to 49 or 50, she would give him a spiritual grass.
"Thank you, Master!"
Xiao Guo regained hope and was deeply moved.
The rest of the people are in the same boat. Anyone who misses such a good opportunity is a fool.
"Mom, then I won't go to the shop today. Let's start making soaps and soaps that require molds!"
Chen Xingyun couldn't wait any longer, this was the most important thing at the moment.
After all, it takes at least ten days to dry after it is manufactured, so it is okay to buy a shop during the drying period.
"Well, you can take care of the arrangements." Xiao Ying saw that she was full of energy and said with a smile: "I have to send Xinghe to the county this afternoon. He will officially start school tomorrow, so you can take care of the things at home."
"Don't worry, Mom. I know what to do."
Chen Xingyun was full of confidence. She immediately grabbed Xiao Guo's arm and took him to the study to see the mold pattern she had already drawn.
Xiao Guojun blushed and was secretly excited. He never thought that his carvings could make money one day.
