    Confucius Temple, at the entrance of Kuijidian.

    Zhao Hao asked around and almost looked at the glasses in the store, but he never said which pair he wanted to buy.

    This made the store owner gradually run out of patience.  It's just that it hasn't opened yet today, so he has no choice but to suppress his anxiety and deal with it with a smile on his face.

    "Sir, which one do you like?"

    "Hmm." Zhao Hao put down his glasses and asked him: "How good is the master in your store in Jinling?"

    "This is the only one in Jinling City, there is no other store." The store owner replied proudly.

    "What about across the country?" Zhao Hao asked again.

    "I don't dare to say that the royal manufacturing company in Ouchi is better than anyone else, but I don't dare to say that the craftsmanship of the small shop is better than anyone else, but I don't think it is worse than anyone else." The shopkeeper replied firmly, and then finally couldn't help but ask again  : "Sir, have you made your choice?"

    Zhao Hao smiled, snapped his fingers twice, and Gao Wu slapped two fifty taels of official silver on the counter.

    "What do you mean by this, sir?" The shopkeeper looked puzzled, but his expression became much more relaxed.

    "You don't have anything that satisfies me. I want to customize one myself." Zhao Hao said slowly.

    "Young master, do you want to customize it?" The store is in the business of wealthy people, and it is obvious that it has been commonplace for a long time: "This store can make gold frames and jade frames."

    "I want a pair of dark-colored flat glasses. The lenses can be smaller. As for the frames, naturally the lighter the better."

    "Dark flat mirrors?" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and asked tentatively: "The kind that are neither convex nor concave, and it makes no difference whether you wear them or not?"

    "Not bad." Zhao Hao smiled and nodded.

    ¡°That¡¯s easy, just use ink crystal to sharpen a pair for the young master.¡± The shopkeeper smiled and replied: ¡°This kind is much cheaper. Even if you get a pair of gold frames for the young master, it won¡¯t cost so much.¡±

    "Just keep it." Zhao Hao waved his hand generously and said, "Take me to see the mirror grinder master, and I will tell him the requirements in person."

    "That's no problem." The store owner happily put away the one hundred taels of silver. His business has always been closed for three days and half a month open.

    Then he lifted the door curtain and invited Zhao Hao into the backyard.

    In the backyard, two masters and two apprentices were grinding lenses.

    I saw the apprentice stepping on a pair of wooden stirrups that looked like bicycle pedals. There was a transmission belt in the middle of the wooden stirrups, which drove the small mill on the platform to rotate at a constant speed.

    The mirror polishing master was concentrating on holding pieces of crystal and carefully polishing them with white mud-like polishing material.

    ¡°Obviously the secret lies in the master¡¯s hands, and he is not afraid of outsiders looking at him.

    However, in order to avoid suspicion, Zhao Hao only glanced at him and turned away, pretending not to be interested.

    The shopkeeper called over a gray-haired mirror grinder.  "Lao Lu, this young master has some requirements, you must listen carefully."

    The old man Lu nodded and stood beside Zhao Hao with his waist bent, watching Zhao Hao draw on the paper with a pen and listening to his explanation.

    After hearing this, Lao Lutou smiled confidently and said: "I understand, the temples will be beaten as the young master said."

    "Okay, fight well, work well done, I will be rewarded heavily." Zhao Hao then put down his pen, agreed with the store to pick up the mirror after ten days, and left with Gao Wu.

    After walking some distance, Zhao Hao suddenly asked Gao Wudao: "Do you remember the appearance of the two mirror grinding masters?"

    It took a while before I heard Gao Wu's answer: "Yes."

    "Try to invite someone to your home later, and don't let the store find out." Zhao Hao then ordered in a deep voice.

    Gao Wu nodded silently, Zhao Hao didn¡¯t need to worry about the rest.

    ??~~

    Gao Wu was quick in his work and brought the person back in the middle of the night.

    When Zhao Hao was woken up from his sleep and put on his clothes and came to the deserted small courtyard, he saw a squirming sack.

    Zhao Hao was stunned. After a long while, he covered his face and said, "Let the people out quickly."

    "Oh." A man from Caijiaxiang opened the zipper of the sack and released an old man with gray hair who was tied up and stuffed with rags.  Isn't it the mirror-grinding master named Lu?

    Gao Wu quickly untied Lao Lu¡¯s head and pulled off the rag that was used to gag him.

    As soon as Lao Lu was untied, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao Hao, calling the hero to spare his life.

    Zhao Hao glared at Gao Wu fiercely, then raised Lao Lu's head with his own hands, and said warmly: "They misunderstood what I meant. I asked them to invite you here with nice words, not in this way.  It really frightened my father-in-law.¡±

    "Ah" Lao Lu was stunned for a while and was speechless for a long time.??

    Then I heard a fierce man explain: "Go back to the old man, let's follow this old man out of the store. When no one is around, we go over and tell him that my young master has invited us. Unexpectedly, he screamed, helpless."  I had no choice but to cover his mouth"

    "He struggled again, but in desperation, we had to tie him up" Another man also explained.

    "I saw that you all looked so fierce. I thought you met robbers in the middle of the night." Old Lutou smiled bitterly, and then he believed that it was a misunderstanding.

    Zhao Hao immediately asked Gao Wu to prepare a table of wine and food, and personally gave the cup to Old Lu to calm his shock. After the old man calmed down, he made his intention clear.

    "I would like to ask my husband to spare ten days and a half to help me build a few things."

    "I'm afraid my boss won't give me leave." Lao Lutou subconsciously shied away.

    Before he finished speaking, Gao Wu slapped two silver ingots in front of him.

    Seeing the two pieces of official silver worth fifty taels each, Lao Lutou swallowed.

    Master Mo Jing is considered a high-income earner in Jinling City, but his income is only ten taels of silver a month.  If you can earn nearly a year's worth of money in ten days and a half, anyone would be excited.

    "Here, let me think of a way." After hesitating for a moment, Lao Lutou finally relaxed.

    "When the job is done, I will reward you with another hundred taels." Zhao Hao said lightly. For him now, this little money is really nothing.

    "Okay, tomorrow I will ask for leave from my employer, saying that my father-in-law has passed away and I want to go back to help with the cooking." Lao Lutou immediately showed the spirit of overcoming all difficulties, patted his chest and said: "Within half a month, I will wait for you, Mr.  Send!¡±

    "What about the mirror grinding tools?" Zhao Hao asked: "And the East China Sea crystal"

    "Young Master, don't worry, the old man has a complete set at home." Old Lutou said with a smile: "My boss's price is too high, so people often ask me if I can take on private work"

    "That's good." Zhao Hao breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked Gao Wu to lead people to go to the old man's house overnight to retrieve the mirror grinding tools.

    He returned to his study, recalled it carefully, and then started drawing pictures on paper.

    The next day, Gao Wu came over to report that everything was in order.

    Zhao Hao then picked up the drawings, came to the small courtyard, and explained his real requirements to the old Lutou.

    "Grind two triangular prisms for me. One base is an acute isosceles triangle, and the other base is an equilateral triangle What? Are you confused? Okay, I will pinch it for you later with mud, and you can follow the gourd's plan, right?  "

    "This is a convex lens, just like your reading glasses, but the diopter well, I want a very flat mirror surface, not a very convex one."

    "This is a concave lens. It's the one for children's reading glasses. It's just one-third the size of reading glasses. You can give me a few more lenses."
