Chapter 46 Humanity and Sophistication
"So fast? You ask."
Du Ruo was surprised at Li Qiyao's efficiency. He didn't expect that she was so dedicated. She should have just returned yesterday, but she didn't expect that she had already found a master forger.
"The master craftsman has already seen it and is quite interested in making it. There are no problems with the bracelet and the coiled dragon parts. They can meet the requirements you introduced above, and even exceed them. It's just that the silk thread is a bit troublesome.
The material introduced above is the silk thread made of soft minerals. If you want to customize it, I'm afraid it will be very expensive. "
Li Qiyao should be sitting in an office. She was frowning while speaking and looking down at something. She must be recording the information said by the old master.
"Then what backup plan do you have, Master? It doesn't have to be crystal clear, as long as it is tough and has a certain degree of softness."
Du Ruo frowned. The knowledge in his mind was that the production of Tianchan silk was indeed time-consuming and labor-intensive. He did not have that much time to wait, so it was not impossible to lower the requirements. After all, it was modern times and there were many materials that could be used as substitutes.
"Yes, you can use special steel wire. Besides not being crystal clear and being slightly heavier, it is also tougher and has better load-bearing properties. It is also much cheaper."
Li Qiyao smiled. Now that the material of the silk thread had been solved, she could let the master craftsman start working. This would mean she could fulfill her promise to Du Ruo.
"Okay, then please ask the master to make one for you. Tell me the price when the time comes. I'll treat you to a meal next time you come to Huangshan."
"If it is replaced with special steel wire, the price should be around 30,000 yuan, which mainly includes the labor fee of the master craftsman and some special materials."
"Okay, no problem. I'll leave it to you. I'll transfer the money to you later. By the way, how is your business going?"
After confirming the matter, Du Ruo asked about Li Qiyao and that man. After all, the other party had helped him a lot, and if he just hung up, it would seem too snobbish.
"I'm making some preparations. It should be within the next two days. It's not convenient to talk on the phone. When the master is done, I will send the Panlong silk to you. We can talk then."
Li Qiyao had obviously made a decision and understood that it was not appropriate to discuss this on the phone. She said a few vague words and ended the call.
"Son, who was that just now?"
As soon as Du Ruo hung up the phone, my mother came over and asked curiously, "The girl looked pretty good. Although she looked quite weak and it was hard to tell what her figure was like, you could tell from her appearance that she was good."
"Mom, that's a friend of mine. I have my own plans. Forget about the blind date."
When Du Ruo saw his mother's look, he immediately said something vaguely, trying to cover up the matter.
"Your Aunt Xu has already made an appointment for you. Just go and have a look. It's at a restaurant in town at 5pm this weekend. It's just right for you to take Yaya to town at that time. It will be on your way there. Be obedient. Your Aunt Xu has made the introduction for you. It will be bad if you don't go."
My mother compared the girl who had just video chatted with Du Ruo in her mind, then thought about the photo of the man who had a blind date with Du Ruo, and her attitude became a little less tough.
"Okay, okay, I'll go then."
Du Ruo knew he couldn't escape, so he nodded helplessly and agreed.
"Okay, it's settled. I'll go back first. Remember to pick up Yaya this afternoon. I'll cook fish for you two."
After saying this, my mother took the beef stew that Du Ruo had prepared and walked out to the yard.
"Finally he left. Forget it. I'll go meet him when the time comes. I'm afraid that blind date girls these days won't like me."
Du Ruo sent her mother away, then touched her stomach. She felt that the big bowl of noodles and beef she had just eaten was just enough to fill her stomach. She simply went back to the kitchen, took out all the beef that had just been heated up, and started eating the meat. While eating, Du Ruo noticed something different.
Yesterday Du Ruo drank medicinal wine and ate beef. Although he ate a lot, he still felt full in the end. But today, after adding a little bit, things were completely different.
Du Ruo only felt that his digestive ability had improved a lot. After finishing ten kilograms of stewed beef, he just felt full, but his stomach didn't show any signs of bloating. He also didn't feel a little sleepy like yesterday. Du Ruo felt that he might be able to continue eating.
"Am I just trying to make up for my shortfall or have I really become a big eater? What will I do in the future?"
Touching his stomach, Du Ruo decided to ignore it and went back into the kitchen to cook all the beef he had bought yesterday at once.
Du Ruo decided to stew the remaining nearly 70 kilograms of beef in two pots. Since it could be kept in the refrigerator anyway, it would only take two or three days to finish.
It's just that I can't help but worry about the future. Today's breakfast was more than ten pounds of meat. If I eat like this every day in the future, the expenses will be quite high.
……
Stewing meat is a slow and delicate process. It took Du Ruo nearly four hours to cook all the beef. At noon, Du Ruo ate another ten pounds of beef. Only then did he feel full. He looked at the time and thought it was almost time to go to town.
Du Ruoke did not forget that there was an activity at Yaya Kindergarten today. His sister Duna had just told him the time and he had to go to school at about three o'clock.
Du Ruo took the two bowls of beef he had prepared, put the car keys in his pocket, closed the door, and left the yard.
"Yuanyuan, let's meet each other~~"
Du Ruo arrived at the door of the pub and found that it was not open yet, so he stood downstairs and shouted towards the second floor.
"I'm coming, Boss Du, what's the matter?"
Xiang Yuanyuan came downstairs in slippers, opened the side door of the tavern and asked Du Ruo. It seemed that she had just finished a nap and her hair was still a little messy.
"I got you some beef stew. You can cook some noodles or rice and put some vegetables on top and you can eat it."
Du Ruo handed over the bowl of beef in his hand. Now the relationship between the two has become closer, especially since Du Ruo drank such precious medicinal wine yesterday, it is appropriate to give something as a gift today.
"That's great. Haha. Today's appetizers are ready. As for rice, forget it. I haven't eaten staple food for many years. Thank you, Boss Du."
Xiang Yuanyuan's eyes lit up and she quickly took the beef. She loved drinking strong liquor, and it felt great with the beef stewed by Du Ruo.
"Okay, whatever you want..."
Du Ruo didn't have much to say. She glanced at Xiang Yuanyuan's figure and realized that there must be a reason why this alcoholic could maintain such a good figure.
It’s just hard to imagine that the other person doesn’t eat staple food and drinks such strong alcohol every day. I don’t know if his stomach is made of iron.
"Li Qingxiao ~Dating the third stewardess~~"
Du Ruo was humming along with the DJ as the car drove on the road to the town. There was also a bowl of beef that she brought to her sister Duna.
