Chapter 1661: Ingenious Craftsmanship
"To answer the immortal, this is Zhu Bajie." The salesman was flattered but answered with fear and trepidation.
Tang Bao: “…”
Is this Zhu Bajie?
Tang Bao looked shocked.
Doesn’t the Horse King have three eyes?
Why does Zhu Bajie also have three eyes?
The uncle selling the goods was not surprised that Tang Bao didn't know Zhu Bajie.
After all, in his opinion, the immortals of the Cloud Palace were high and mighty, and extremely noble, so they naturally would not recognize such an ugly pig.
After being shocked, Tang Bao pointed at some unfamiliar jade carvings of animals and asked again.
As expected, these animals are unique to Cloud City.
"Uncle, I've bought all these things!" Tang Bao said with a tycoon air: "What do you want to exchange?"
Taking these peripherals back would be enough for her to piece together a few simple cloud cities.
If I exchange more, I can give them not only to my family members when I return to Dayan, but also to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and other ladies in the palace.
Then tell them that this is what the fairyland looks like.
You don’t have to worry about visiting the fairyland a hundred years later, you can look at the sand table in advance.
After all, no one knows what will happen a hundred years from now.
It would be better to tell them now that the fairyland is not only beautiful, but even the animals are unique.
The ladies in the palace treated her well, so Tang Bao certainly couldn't forget to bring them gifts.
In fact, after Tang Bao left Dayan, he would pass through post stations from time to time along the way to send letters and local specialties back home.
This time when he left Western Qin and returned to Dayan with the ceremonial procession, he also brought back many specialties of Western Qin prepared by Tang Bao.
Among them, they are categorized and written down to whom they are given.
Not only did Tang Bao prepare one, but he also prepared one for Xuanyuan Jin.
At this moment, as soon as Tang Bao finished speaking, the uncle selling the goods was shocked and almost fell down.
"If the immortal wants it, just take it." The uncle said stutteringly, not knowing whether he was excited or nervous.
It was a great honor for him that the immortals in the Cloud Palace appreciated his craftsmanship and liked the ornaments he carved.
Xuanyuan Jin took out a royal blue cloak from his bag and threw it into the arms of the salesman.
"Is this dress enough?" Xuanyuan Jin asked bluntly.
The salesman subconsciously touched the silky material and his eyes suddenly widened.
Is this clothing that only immortals can wear?
One piece of clothing like this is enough to exchange for all the stock in his home.
"Is it enough?" Xuanyuan Jin asked again when he saw that the salesman didn't say anything.
"Enough, enough..." the salesman stuttered.
That’s too much!
The salesman was very excited in his heart and added a sentence stutteringly.
Xuanyuan Jin nodded slightly, squatted down and helped Tang Bao put the various jade carvings on the ground into the bag.
When the salesman saw this, he finally came to his senses.
"Fairy, if you don't mind, you can put these things in a box." The salesman said, turning around and taking out a box.
The surface of the box is carved with patterns, about six or seven layers high.
The salesman opened the box layer by layer, revealing the bottom layer.
Only then did Tang Bao discover that the bottom of the box was covered with dense grooves of various shapes.
The salesman put Zhu Bajie into one of the grooves, and his paws fit perfectly into the four hoof prints at the bottom of the groove.
In this way, even if the carrying box shakes slightly, the jade carving of Zhu Bajie will not slide and be damaged in the carrying box.
When Tang Bao is in the mood, it feels like he is putting together a puzzle.
"Uncle is so smart!" Tang Bao praised with a smile.
After saying that, he picked up a snow deer curiously, looked at the grooves on the wooden board, and chose one to put in.
The fit is perfect!
However, Tang Bao took a look and found a small groove under the snow deer's belly.
Tang Bao picked up the snow deer in the groove, thought for a while, then took out a thumb-sized deer and put it in the small groove.
The little deer lay obediently in the small groove, as if waiting for its mother.
Tangbao put the big snow deer on top of the little deer, and the big snow deer's body just protected the little snow deer.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Jin seemed to be inspired by his childishness. He scanned the jade carvings on the ground, picked up a pink rabbit, and accurately placed it in a small groove next to the snow deer's feet.
Xia Siya, Princess Linghua and others were attracted and became interested. They squatted on the ground and started playing the jigsaw puzzle game.
"Put this here..."
"No, it must be this..."
"Put it here, put it here..."
"No! Put it here..."
Everyone was talking at once and having a great time.
The uncle selling goods had already slipped to the back, leaving the home court to the immortals and immortal messengers in his heart.
I feel extremely proud that the things I make are liked by Tang Bao and others.
The other people setting up stalls around looked at the uncle selling goods with envy in their eyes.
Especially when I saw the clothes he was holding carefully in his hands, my expression became even more envious.
However, the light in everyone's eyes was pure and without any greed.
There is strength in numbers, and Tangbao soon reached the top level.
They were very familiar with the top level - a mini version of the Cloud Palace!
This can be seen just by looking at the size of the groove.
"Wow! There's a window here... No no! I mean, this window can actually be opened!?"
Princess Linghua screamed and looked at a miniature window.
She didn't expect that when she touched it lightly, the window would slide to the side.
When everyone saw it, they all showed surprised expressions.
What’s even more surprising is that through a window smaller than the cover of a little finger, you can actually see tables and chairs inside, with miniature carved tea sets on the tables.
Not only that, the other windows could also be pushed open, and there were even palace maids sitting in front of the windows, mending clothes with their heads down.
Everyone was amazed, this was so exquisite!
"It's no exaggeration to say that the uncle's craftsmanship is beyond compare!" Tang Bao exclaimed in admiration.
After saying this, he felt that it was really unfair for him to exchange a piece of clothing for such an exquisite jade carving!
Tang Bao thought about it and took out a red fruit from her bag.
"Uncle, can I exchange this fruit for your box?" Tang Bao asked.
The salesman laughed, waved his hand and said, "No need, this box is not worth much, just take it!"
Originally, this carrying box was just a bonus.
“Ouch—”
An excited wolf howl was heard.
The big wolf's eyes glowed green as he stared at Hong Guoguo who was being rejected by the salesman.
It seems to mean: I want it!
The salesman was frightened by the wolf king's sudden roar and trembled.
Then he saw the wolf king's eyes glowing green, looking towards him.
The salesman: “…”
Why does this snow wolf look like it wants to eat itself?
The salesman's body shook again.
“Ouch—”
The wolf king howled again, then looked at the salesman and then at the red fruit in Tangbao's hand.
Tang Bao understood what the Wolf King meant and said with a smile, "Uncle, the big wolf wants to exchange this fruit with you for its prey. If you agree to the exchange, just tell me what prey you want and how much you want!"
After Tang Bao finished speaking, she gave the red fruit to the uncle.
The salesman held the red fruit in his hand and looked at the Wolf King in a daze.
The wolf king stared at the salesman with burning eyes, waiting for him to speak.
The salesman: “…”
He seemed to understand the Wolf King's intentions from his eyes...
