After the divorce, I became a mountain god

When Zou Shengsheng heard the mountain god calling his name, he was immediately shocked.

He immediately knelt on the ground and said, "I didn't know the Mountain God was coming. I was rude. Please punish me, Mountain God."

When Chen Shishi, who was standing by, saw Zou Shengsheng's appearance, she knew that the mountain god had come, so she immediately bowed to the ground to show her respect, and then made a gesture of wishing good luck in the direction of the mountain god temple, and then walked towards her room with light steps.

After seeing her, Xu Bo'an was deeply moved. She was indeed worthy of being the most beautiful courtesan. Not only did she have an excellent appearance, she was also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, understood etiquette, knew when to advance and retreat, and was not at all spoiled.

She herself is a saint in the hearts of the villagers. She doesn't need to do many rough jobs like fetching water herself, but Chen Shishi has always done it herself. Although she cannot share too many affairs with the villagers, she doesn't want to be a burden to the villagers. She has always wanted to benefit the residents of Kaoshan Village. However, her current situation is awkward and her strength does not allow it, so she has been silently doing what she should do.

Xu Boan couldn't help but admire Chen Shishi's actions in his heart. Such a kind-hearted woman would definitely be the center of attention in real life and the white moonlight in the eyes of countless men. This woman is only found in heaven and is rarely seen in the world. This is probably what is meant by this kind of person.

What green tea or not, this is obviously countless people...

Seeing Chen Shishi return to the room, Xu Boan also told Zou Shengsheng: "Zou Shengsheng, I have something to talk to you about. Go back to the room first and we'll talk later."

Xu Boan asked Zou Shengsheng to go back into the house for safety reasons. If the news accidentally leaked out, in this chaotic world with refugees, bandits and robbers everywhere, even the current residents of Kaoshan Village would inevitably have evil hearts. Although Xu Boan didn't care about the bad intentions of these people, Zou Shengsheng was just an ordinary person after all. It would be better for him to avoid being punished for possessing a treasure. If people found out that he was going to make a golden stick for the mountain god, he would inevitably get into big trouble.

Zou Shengsheng naturally did as he was told and soon returned to his room. He then asked devoutly, "Please give me your instructions, Grandpa Mountain God! I will obey you in everything."

Hearing Zou Shengsheng's reply, Xu Bo'an nodded with satisfaction and said, "I do have something to do with you..."

Before Xu Boan could continue speaking, Zou Shengsheng, who was kneeling on the ground, said: "Grandpa Mountain God, please tell me if you have anything to say. I will serve you wholeheartedly." Xu Boan's face was full of black lines. See, this is the result of forcing flattery without knowing how to do it.

It's very awkward, very stiff, not natural at all, and far less smooth than those professional flatterers.

Zou Shengsheng, Zou Shengsheng, you are a craftsman born with a technical background, so don't try so hard to learn how to flatter others!
Xu Boan cleared his throat and continued, "I saw you demonstrating to your disciples how to make a hollow ball with metal beads in it. It looked very unique!"

If you want to employ someone, you must first praise him or her and give him or her some spiritual encouragement. This is the experience Xu Bo'an has summed up over the years, and it can be said that it has always been effective!

After hearing this, Zou Shengsheng quickly replied, "Thank you for the praise, Grandpa Mountain God! To be honest, after the war in Shanyang City, I came all the way from Sun's Silver Shop and have been resting in Kaoshan Village ever since! During this time, I have been taken care of by Grandpa Mountain God, and my whole family has lived a comfortable life. I wanted to do my part for Kaoshan Village and train a few more craftsmen for the village in case of emergency!"

After hearing this, Xu Boan could not help but nod his head repeatedly. These followers of his were really loyal to him, and it was worth his care for them. He could go to them for some problems he encountered in his daily life. Why would he go to such trouble to find someone else when he didn't need such a skilled and loyal person?

Xu Boan, Xu Boan, you are also stupid!
Xu Boan immediately said: "I want you to make a batch of gold sticks for me. How long will it take you to make them according to your current skills?"

Acupuncture needles are very thin objects in the real world, usually around 0.3mm in diameter, but in the bonsai world, this diameter is as thick as a rolling pin used to make dumpling skins.

For a craftsman like Zou Shengsheng, making a golden stick is extremely easy!

All he had to do was instruct them to make roughly equivalent sticks inside the bonsai, and then take them out into the real world. They didn't need to be enlarged, as long as they were the shape of acupuncture needles, and he could use them normally.

When Zou Shengsheng heard this, he thought that this was just his professional job, so there was no problem. Zou Shengsheng immediately asked, "Excuse me, Grandpa Mountain God, how long and thick is the stick you are talking about? I hope Grandpa Mountain God can tell me clearly!"

Xu Boan blurted out: "The length is about..."

Before he could finish his words, Xu Bo'an was dumbfounded.

I only considered the diameter of the acupuncture needle, but did not fully consider the length of the acupuncture needle.

If it is made in a one-to-one length ratio, it will only be the size of a grain of rice when it comes out.

But if you want to make it at a ratio of one hundred or two hundred times, a 15 mm acupuncture needle would have to be 20 to 30 meters long!
That's taller than an average tree. Zou Shengsheng's hand-made work is as difficult as a goldsmith making a pure gold hoop in the real world! It's almost impossible to complete.

If that's the case, then my idea of ​​asking Zou Shengsheng to make acupuncture needles would be ruined again!

Xu Boan was quite depressed when he thought that his plan had failed before it even started.

No, we can't just let it go.

There must be a solution!

Xu Boyan thought hard for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up!
There is a way!

If I were to make acupuncture needles according to the proportions of the real world and the bonsai world, they would naturally be the thickness of a rolling pin plus a height of twenty to thirty meters.

But if it is scaled down proportionally, then when the time comes we can take it out into the real world and then enlarge it proportionally, wouldn't that be possible?

For example, I can ask Zou Shengsheng to make a cylinder of 20 to 30 cm in length and 6 mm in diameter in the bonsai world! Then I can take it out and magnify it a hundred times, wouldn't it be fine?
Xu Boan was very happy thinking of this, and immediately said cheerfully: "Zou Shengsheng, listen carefully, I need you to make me a stick with a length of 20 to 30 centimeters and a diameter of about 6 millimeters as soon as possible. One end must be sharp! See how long it will take you to get it done! Of course, don't worry, I will give you the necessary materials!" A set of acupuncture needles certainly has many needles, but Xu Boan plans to let Zou Shengsheng make a sample first to see the situation.

As for the raw materials, Xu Boan didn't think that Zou Shengsheng could come up with so much gold, and Xu Boan had no intention of withholding other people's personal property, so naturally Xu Boan provided it all!

Hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Zou Shengsheng scratched his head immediately, looking like he was thinking hard, and said with difficulty: "Uh... Grandpa Mountain God, please forgive me, I am stupid! I don't know what you mean by '20 to 30 centimeters in length and about 6 millimeters in diameter'. Please explain it to me, Grandpa Mountain God."

While kowtowing, Zou Shengsheng thought that the words of the Mountain God should be the language of immortals. It was indeed very high-end and profound. Although he could understand every word, he could not comprehend the meaning at all when they were put together.

Xu Boan felt a little embarrassed at the moment. The length units and diameter measurement methods used by the Dajingchao in the bonsai world are different from those in the real world, so there are still certain obstacles in communication.

Xu Boan was so anxious that he simply ignored this!
However, what made Xu Bo'an depressed was that he himself didn't seem to understand the measurement methods in the bonsai world very well.

How to explain my needs clearly to Zou Shengsheng is a big problem!
Xu Boan immediately thought that he would have to popularize the measurement methods of scientific and technological society to Li Qingjiang, and then give him some pointers. He believed that with Li Qingjiang's intelligence, he would be able to master it quickly. Then he would let Li Qingjiang teach the villains here, so that it would be more convenient for him to communicate.

But how can I get through this hurdle?
Xu Boan was feeling depressed, when he suddenly saw the chopsticks he was holding in his hand. They were exactly the same length as the wooden stick he wanted. All he had to do was put this thing in and scale it down to the size of the chopsticks in Zou Shengsheng's sight. Then Zou Shengsheng would make a golden stick according to the thickness and length. After it came out, he could enlarge or reduce it proportionally. That would be all he needed to do, right!
Not only the chopsticks, but also the toothpick next to it can be freely adjusted in proportion so that Zou Shengsheng can copy it!

So, what we often need is right in front of us, but we lack the eyes that are good at discovering it. Xu Boan couldn't help but silently give himself a thumbs up for his cleverness.

After figuring this out, Xu Boan felt a lot more relaxed. He immediately picked up the chopsticks and toothpicks happily, shrunk them to the size of the golden stick he needed in the bonsai world, put them in front of Zou Shengsheng and said, "You can copy these two items, but make sure the golden stick is smooth and avoid any wrinkles or undulations!"

Hearing the obviously relaxed tone of the Mountain God's voice, Zou Shengsheng's heart, which had been hanging in the air for a while, instantly relaxed.

After hearing what the Mountain God said, it became clear to him. What if he guessed the God's intention wrongly and the things he made did not meet the Mountain God's requirements? Not only would he waste the Mountain God's precious raw materials, but he would also be in big trouble if he angered the Mountain God. At this moment, Zou Shengsheng really breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Grandpa Mountain God, according to your request, it will take me about an hour to make the golden rod you want!"

Xu Boan was even more relieved to hear Zou Shengsheng's confident reply.

It turned out to be a good idea to find Zou Shengsheng, the senior master. He could make one golden needle per hour, and after working non-stop for twelve hours a day, he could make six golden needles. Although it was not enough for a set, it was enough for Xu Boan to use for now!

Xu Bo'an only needed six acupuncture needles to give acupuncture treatment to Mrs. Zhang Wenzhong.

"Okay! Then you can start as soon as possible. I will come to collect the goods in an hour!" Xu Boan said happily.

"I understand!" Zou Shengsheng said promptly and clearly, but his forehead was slightly wrinkled, with obvious forehead wrinkles.

Zou Shengsheng felt a little worried.

Grandpa Mountain God, you haven't given me the raw gold material that you promised me before!

All my belongings are only enough to make a golden stick. You are not going to let me use my gold to make it first?
Then I have to melt all the gold jewelry I gave to my wife, otherwise she will blame me to death!
Of course Xu Boan had no idea what was going on in Zou Shengsheng's mind at this time. If he knew, he would definitely say that Old Xu was such a petty person.

Although Xu Boan didn't guess Zou Shengsheng's idea, he knew that if he asked someone to make a golden stick, he had to give the raw materials in advance. Xu Boan picked up the cup and drank a sip of water before continuing, "As for the raw materials for making acupuncture, just wait a moment. I'll get them for you later."

"I understand!" Zou Shengsheng responded apologetically.

How could a man like the Mountain God, who has such great powers, covet his little bit of gold? Zou Shengsheng, Zou Shengsheng, how could you not trust the Mountain God before!

Zou Shengsheng blamed himself for a while, then gave up. While waiting for Xu Boan to drop the raw materials from the sky, he was thinking about how to divide the work among his apprentices. After all, making such a big golden stick was a big project, and only by dividing the work and cooperating could they produce what the Mountain God wanted more quickly.

At this moment, Xu Boan had already found the mole beast Dachuan and switched his attention to the cave where the mole beast was.

After the molehill is digested, the golden beans excreted are of very high purity. It is absolutely right to use this material to make acupuncture needles!
At this time, the mole beast and the big bear were crowded together in the treasure cave discovered by the brown bear before, which contained some gold and silver treasures of the former Daliang Dynasty.

At this time, the mole was eating happily, eating some precious gold, silver and jewels. Xu Boan felt a little distressed when he saw it. This guy was really replenishing nutrition for himself all the time. The brown bear next to it was sleeping soundly. They were really an eater and sleeper combination.

If I had known that these two guys got along so well, it would have been great to just name them "The Two Generals Heng and Ha"!
Xu Boan was surprised to find that he had not paid attention to the mole beast for a few days, and this guy actually had a pile of golden beans behind him.

After seeing this, Xu Boan smiled happily. He came here just for the golden beans. Now he didn’t have to do any ideological work for the mole beast.

Xu Boan stretched out two fingers and picked up the golden beans excreted by the mole one by one. Soon, he caught all the golden beans in his hand, a full handful!

I, Old Xu, actually got such a precious thing without any effort. It's really a "sin". (End of this chapter)
