The most satisfied with the result of the first game was Tan Weishi. As soon as the party that day ended, the iron gecko fell into her hands. After she asked how to play, she immediately took the iron gecko into the palace to find her father and mother and show off.

The scene of that day was in the mouth for several days, until seven days later, Shang Baotang showed off his second treasure.

If the Jade Dragonfly was indeed a little tricky in the first competition, the second thing Shang Baotang took out was no shortcut at all. Lou Qingxi said that these three things were all presented to the marriage ceremony of the two countries, and this second thing was a woman's jewelry, an ornament that could become an important part of the wedding ceremony, and a nine-phoenix pearl crown.

In terms of subject matter selection, there is no doubt that the bead crown made by Shang Baotang is somewhat usurpant. Today, from the unification and disintegration hundreds of years ago to the current state of affairs, all countries are in charge of their own affairs, and there is no emperor in the world, and the kings of all countries are just kings. From the current ritual system, there is no woman in the world who is qualified to have the crown of nine phoenixes. However, when used in wedding ceremony and under the red veil, everyone in all countries and places is usurpant. From the people to princes and nobles, almost everyone is "nine phoenixes", taking the auspicious wishes, and ignoring the etiquette system.

However, this nine-phoenix pearl crown really shows Shang Baotang's solid and exquisite jewelry making technology and a deep understanding of jewelry aesthetics. The pearl crown is connected to several silver ribbons to form a central frame, and a hair cover is made with silver wire mesh and white ribbons close to the head, so that the pearl crown can be firmly fixed to the hair. On the other side of the frame, gold, silver, gems and pearls are used to form the image of nine phoenixes of different shapes.

Although the pearl crown is inlaid with gold and jade, and the materials are exquisite and solid, it does not give people the nouveau riche style at all. It looks elegant, elegant without losing its affinity, quiet but lively, and beautiful, which can be regarded as a perfect portrayal of women's beauty.

The jade dragonfly on that day did not give Ye Tao a headache, but this bead crown made him feel a little trouble. Isn’t this completely comparing the aesthetic skills? I don’t know how many times I have adjusted this specially made bead crown, so what should I compare with? Shang Baotang has indeed reached a very pinnacle for the use of jewelry and jade. If you want to develop again, it is almost impossible under the current technical conditions.

And this time, Ye Tao felt that five days didn’t seem to be enough.

Is it enough? That's one thing, but no matter what, you must do. After careful consideration, Ye Tao also roughly decided on the plan:

First of all, gold, silver and jade materials must not be used. On the one hand, it is easy to cause analogies of similar materials. As a latecomer, it is easy to find something to those who have preconceived impressions. Lou Qingxi, who is too familiar with the processing of gold and jade materials, will inevitably have some shortcomings in a short time, and it is easy for experts to find some omissions.

Secondly, whether it is craftsmanship or design, the Jiufeng Pearl Crown has reached a considerable height. It is indeed not easy to win it in a similar field. However, using craftsmanship that no one has seen before and working hard on the design concept can easily bypass everyone's prejudices and win ingenious ways. It is somewhat certain to be sure.

Under such circumstances, Ye Tao finally used one of the technical reserves of Ye's workshop: cloisonne technology.

For this era now, the cloisonne process is quite difficult. Generally speaking, the production of cloisonne includes several processes such as tire making, filigree, dotting, burning, polishing and gold plating. The need to use extremely high temperatures is only one of the difficulties. What is even more troublesome is the use of various materials and extremely complicated detailed processes, especially polishing and gold plating.

Grinding usually requires gritty sand, yellow stone, and charcoal to smooth the uneven blue glaze in three times. Uneven areas need to be polished and repeatedly polished after glaze replenishment and melting. Finally, charcoal and scraper have to smooth and smooth the bottom line and mouth line of copper wire without blue glaze. There are really many processes that need to be passed, and each process takes a long time. As for gold plating, it is another problem. In this day, at least now, Ye Tao has not yet developed the electroplating process, which has become very easy in the original era. Fortunately, the preparation of various materials is very sufficient, and there is no problem of finding things temporarily.

Compared with the traditional cloisonné with red, blue and green as the main colors of enamel dot blue, Ye Tao is much richer in terms of color. Now the mineral powder he can use can be used as enamel pigments is enough to be bolder in terms of color. In the past, when he was experimenting in Yicheng, Ye Tao was able to present nine to twelve colors on cloisonné, but now Tan Weixin has almost opened the mineral warehouse of the Ministry of Industry to Ye Tao, and Ye Tao can produce more colors.

Even though everyone worked so hard this time, the five days were too nervous. During these sixty hours, Ye Tao only slept for less than six hours, and the rest of the time was sweating profusely with the students and apprentices in the workshop, completing the fine processes in the hot temperature.

When the five-day deadline came, Ye Tao finally completed the work, but was so tired that he fell asleep. Even when he displayed the work, Tan Weixin later instructed Lu Dan to take responsibility.

In his position, Lu Dan was tricked into being a housekeeper for Ye Tao at the beginning, which was true, but since he had done it, he had to do it well, and Lu Dan's idea was that simple. This time, Shang Baotang was tired of his young master like this, and Lu Dan was a little angry.

The exhibition was still in Mingyu Tower. When Lu Dan arrived, most of the guests had been waiting for a while. Seeing that Ye Tao's work was so late this time, it was very different from the last time's calm and dramatic effect. Those guys who were determined to overwhelm Shang Baotang were a little confused. However, when everyone saw Lu Dan jumping out of the carriage with a huge box, they breathed a sigh of relief; they finally came.

Lu Dan rushed upstairs with a rumbling rumble and slammed the big wooden box on the table that was placed the same as last time. The heavy and lingering metal sound made everyone present tremble in their hearts. The style of the wooden box has changed a lot. This time it was not a delicate and beautiful mirror paint, but a simple layer of black paint was painted on the corners of the box, but iron pieces were wrapped around it, and a very majestic iron lion-faced sculpture was inlaid on the front of the box, which looked very majestic.

"My young master is working day and night, and now he is sleeping. Today I can't come to greet everyone. The villain had to give this thing to everyone and send it to my young master for everyone to review. When my young master is full, he will naturally apologize for not being able to come here today." Lu Dan claimed to be arrogant, and the temperament he showed was indeed the same.

He lifted the lid of the box, picked out the things in the box, and placed them flat on the table. Everyone gathered around, looking at the strange-shaped... "cup" in disbelief.

"This thing is named by my young master 'Iron Blood Hero Cup'. It is a super-large wine glass, which will be presented to the king during the wedding of the king to commemorate the hero's hero's hero's feat of using a golden helmet as a wine glass for 20,000 warriors and defeating the northern Liaonan Yuan army in one fell swoop. The young master said that the merchants in Chunnan added a hat to my future Princess Dongping, which is also a beautiful thing. We all like the loyal people who are loyal to the king should follow. But the king's hats are those, not something that we ordinary people who are promoted to fight. Then make a wine glass with the shape of a helmet."

Lu Dan is not Ye Tao. If Ye Tao said the same thing here, his tone would be a little ridiculous at most. But Lu Dan was different. He was originally angry, and even if he was a steward, he brought many habits in the military to the current Ye Mansion. The murderous aura in his tone did not diminish slightly. After he said this sentence with a strong sonorous force, he immediately aroused a lot of applause and applause.

This is the difference in everyone's intentions. At most, the Nine Phoenix Pearl Crown is to add some beauty to Princess Bailian, and this iron-blooded hero cup is to commemorate the great achievements of the king. With this intention, even if what Ye Tao asked Lu Dan to bring today is just an ordinary wine glass, so many children of Dongping officials present, or those who want to rush into this circle will inevitably praise Ye Tao's victory. What's more, this helmet-shaped iron-blooded hero cup does have extremely intimidating charm.

The Iron Blood Hero Cup is composed of two parts. The base bracket is below, which can hold the wine glass firmly and will not overturn when pouring wine. The upper part is a reduced helmet, and the lines on this helmet are strong and powerful, and the above is made of copper wire and coloring as a tool to draw a majestic scene where a general swears to go to war and soldiers rush to the mountains. The gorgeous and meticulousness of the Iron Blood Hero Cup may not be as delicate as the Nine Phoenix Pearl Crown, but it is better because of its good intention and content. As for the craftsmanship, at first glance, even Lou Qingxi did not understand how this Iron Blood Hero Cup was made, how to combine metal lines with gorgeous colors, and how to make a metal vessel burst out with such wonderful brilliance.
