Chapter 300 Special Design

The general direction has been finalized, but the details of the drawings still need to be discussed.

There are many problems.

Taking the old-fashioned model as an example, the pattern will not change too much, paying tribute to the predecessors.

But, with or without gossip? Square hole or round hole? These must be selected.

In addition, in the antique zodiac money, there is a pattern of the zodiac snake, and the butler's words are full of dissatisfaction:

"No matter which style it is, the snake pattern inside should not be the same as the old style! The snake pattern on the inside is either coiled like an earthworm or coiled like a duck!"

Even if he doesn't like low-level animals like snakes, the housekeeper has his own insistence on this aspect.

"What suggestions do you have?" Feng Yi asked humbly.

"Hold on!"

The housekeeper hurried back to the room and came out after a while, holding a picture album in his hand.

Feng Yi: "..."

Good guy! Already prepared!

"This design album is all drawn by myself." The butler handed over the album.

Feng Yi took it and flipped through the design book.

"You have been planning this for a long time!"

The butler smiled modestly: "It's just a little hobby in daily life."

Feng Yi thought to himself: This is not a "little hobby", this is simply obsession! This love is deep enough!

How long did it take to prepare for such a thick design book?

Continuing to look at the picture album, I turned to the page pointed by the butler and saw a snake with its tail in its mouth.

Unlike ouroboros. Ouroboros is a snake that swallows its own tail to form a ring, forming an "O" shape.

The tail snake the housekeeper drew is a snake holding the tip of its tail in a "6" shape. It’s just that the section above the “6” is a bit shorter.

Feng Yi looked okay and made a note: "Add alternatives first."

Continue to look through the album. The pictures here are all hand-drawn, not printed with the help of computer graphics software.

Painting is the creator’s subjective image of the objective world.

In this album, from regular round copper coins to irregular individual designs, the emotion and energy poured into each page of the drawings can be seen.

In addition to the zodiac snake pattern, Feng Yi also saw one with fangs.

"This picture, the teeth are too prominent..." Feng Yi pointed to the picture.

"Is there any? I think it's quite appropriate. You can tell it's a snake tooth, but you can't tell whether it's a groove tooth or a tube tooth. Therefore, it can be regarded as all venomous fangs." The steward said.

"That's the problem, you can't discriminate against non-venomous snakes." Feng Yi said.

"No such intention!" the butler denied.

"That's partiality!" Feng Yi said.

The housekeeper paused and said, "People's hearts are biased."

Feng Yi: "...let's try our best to take care of both."

Looking at the album, Feng Yi said: "What we want is the pattern of the zodiac snake, and of course it must include both venomous and non-venomous snakes."

How many zodiac snake-related patterns have fangs drawn?

Generally, in more abstract paintings, snakes are represented by snakes rather than fangs.

The butler didn't want to give up and continued to fight: "You can put this 'teeth' element in the special design!"

Feng Yi still hesitated.

Those two fangs, placed on a small copper coin, always give me a sense of evil. With a sinister air.

"This is not suitable for giving to children." Feng Yi said.

"I think it's good!" said the steward.

"At least not this painting."

"All right."

The housekeeper was very disappointed and eliminated that page of design draft with regret.

Seeing that the butler was obviously depressed, Feng Yi consoled him: "These patterns are still very interesting. You can make some of your favorite patterns and collect them or give them as gifts."

The housekeeper also considered it, but the meaning was different after all.

Feng Yi wanted to continue to comfort him, but just as he was about to speak out, something flashed through his mind. He flipped through the animation book and looked at the picture of a snake with a tail in front of him.

The figure with the tail in its mouth is shrunk to the size of an ordinary copper coin, so it may not be easy to spot, but if you enlarge the clear line drawing, you can see the fangs protruding from the mouth of the snake.

Feng Yi glanced at the butler and continued to scroll back.

There is also a design drawing in which the tooth elements are more obscure. The fangs are not on the same side of the copper coin, but one on each side!

Viewed separately, it is indeed difficult to recognize such teeth when matched with the surrounding patterns, but the overall combination has a sense of harmony.

Feng Yi looked at the housekeeper: "You are so persistent!"

After getting rid of plan A, what about plan B and plan C? !

It can be said that it is deliberate and has been planned for a long time!

In response, the butler responded with an elegant smile.

Feng Yi smiled helplessly, "Alternatives, put them on the list first."

In the next few days, Feng Yi stayed at home and looked through the drawings, discussing with the housekeeper which drawings could be used and which details needed to be modified.

It's not that Feng Yi is demanding, it's actually that he goes too far if he doesn't pay attention to the housekeeper, and his creative enthusiasm makes Feng Yi a little overwhelmed.

After careful selection, we finally settled on three versions——

1 The old flower model, which is the kind commonly seen in antique zodiac signs, comes with a complete set of twelve zodiac signs. However, the version settled on by Feng Yi after discussing with the housekeeper did not include the gossip, but instead included the twelve zodiac signs. It is larger and the pattern of the zodiac snake is modified.

2 Exclusive for the Year of the Snake. It's the "6" shape of a snake with a tail in it, paired with some other patterns.

3 exclusive designs. Feng Yi selected several paintings drawn by the housekeeper, made slight modifications and finalized them. Among them is the obscure "tooth" element picture, with a tooth hidden on each side of the coin.

The pattern was confirmed, and the remaining coinage work was handed over to the housekeeper.

After the pattern of the zodiac coin was completed, Feng Yi went to the zoo to see the adopted reticulated python "Little Koi".

The little guy was able to eat and grow, and his size was slightly larger than other small pythons that hatched at the same time.

The staff of the reptile house in the zoo was very surprised. In theory, Feng Yi's number of visits to the zoo could be counted on one hand, and he would disappear for many days after each visit, so this frequency would not allow the little python to remember the smell.

However, every time Feng Yi came, the little python seemed to know him. It would immediately crawl over from sleeping in the corner. If the cage was open, it would wrap around Feng Yi's hand, like an intimate behavior.

This overturned the common sense of the staff of the reptile house.

Feng Yi knew that these behaviors of "Little Koi" that were different from other pythons should be related to the active substances it had received. This little python was originally weak in the egg, and it survived because the active substances Feng Yi output enhanced its vitality.

Those active substances also enhanced the little python's recognition of Feng Yi, and then showed a close look.

Of course, Feng Yi would not explain these reasons.

Every time the people in the zoo were amazed, Feng Yi just smiled or responded casually. He was not serious, and others were just talking.

After all, no one can predict the genetics, and it is understandable that there are a few exceptions in the group.

The people in the zoo are happy to see this scene, which can increase the topic of discussion and there will be no shortage of materials for marketing in the future.

In addition to visiting the little python, Feng Yi also observed the cultural and creative designs of the zoo.

Compared with the last time he came, the zoo now has more cultural and creative products of various sizes. Feng Yi took a rough look and thought it was not of reference value.

Different concepts and different tendencies. Some designs are very suitable for zoos, but not for Feng Yi's zodiac coins.

In addition, I don't know if it's because I've seen too many design albums by the housekeeper, but Feng Yi always feels that some of the cultural and creative products of the zoo are a bit perfunctory.

After leaving the zoo, Feng Yi also went to the construction site to see the progress of the construction of the private collection hall and the addition of several specimen models in the warehouse.

Models are made one by one, but Feng Yi also adds orders from time to time. The model makers are always busy.

For example, not long ago, Feng Yi followed Captain Wen of the patrol team into the mountains to perform tasks. After leaving the mountains, Feng Yi sent photos and videos of Qinhuang Cobra and Cauliflower Viper to the model makers and added new orders.

This is also a collection process that can enrich the collection of the collection hall.

When Feng Yi was busy with his zodiac coin casting project, the invitation letters sent from the Feng family in Yangcheng also arrived in the hands of the invitees one after another.

The delivery team formed by Grandpa Feng is responsible for sending invitation letters, and each person has their own area of ​​responsibility. Of course, they don’t personally visit the areas they are responsible for. Some important guests will be delivered personally, and as for the others, they will assign them to their subordinates to complete.

There are too many people listed as "relatives" by the old man.

The tree is big and branches out.

On the same tree, some leaves are fresh and thick, while some leaves have long been withered and dead. This is a very normal thing.

Some soar, and some fail.

Different people have their own encounters and their own lives.

The development of the younger generation is also different.

On the other side of the ocean.

On the bustling streets, the newly built luxury hotel opened a big sale, and there are many experience projects. Elites from all walks of life and mainstream media have also been invited.

Top floor suite.

A well-dressed middle-aged man looked at the invitation letter just handed over by his subordinates.

This invitation was personally delivered by a designated person from the Feng family in Yangcheng. The words in the invitation were not those printed in batches, but were written by the old man himself. When it was unfolded, it still exuded the fragrance of ink, as if it was full of sincerity.

The middle-aged man looked at the invitation in his hand, smiled in an ambiguous way, and raised his chin.

The person standing next to him immediately understood and picked up the cigar and lighter.

The middle-aged man relaxed on the sofa and blew out a smoke ring comfortably.

"It's so funny! What era is this? Who does he think he is? Does he think he is writing an imperial edict?"

What is written here is very high-sounding, but does it mean that not going is denying your ancestors?

Ah bah!

"That old man, if his sister wasn't gone, would he be so arrogant? Who is he pretending to be?!"

The middle-aged man's eyes were full of ridicule.

"I didn't dare to build it for so many years. I was suppressed by my own sister and dared not say a word! I just built a new ancestral hall now. Who doesn't know the reason!"

What ancestral hall? What ancestors?

It's not our ancestors that are being worshipped!

They are not from the same branch as the Feng family in Yangcheng!

His grandfather's grandfather's grandfather and the other party's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather are not born from the same mother!

They were separated eight hundred years ago, but because of interests and business cooperation, they maintained contact for a period of time. But not much.

In terms of family background, he is not afraid.

In terms of seniority, he is also not in vain!

According to seniority, he is actually the same generation as Mr. Feng.

Throwing the invitation letter aside casually.

The person next to him asked tentatively: "Then, boss, what is this ancestral worship ceremony, are you going?"

The middle-aged man exhaled the smoke from his mouth and snorted nonchalantly, "Go, but it's not because of his face, nor to worship his ancestors. I just want to see if I can see my old friends and get to know them better." An interesting person is fine, hey, let’s relax.”

Under the dim light, the smoke exhaled looked ethereal.

"The Feng family in Yangcheng has produced powerful figures in the past...it's a pity that they didn't survive that old man!"

A village in a tropical country.

The sound of motorcycles came from far and near, stopping at the door of a certain house.

A young man came in carrying a big durian. He glanced over and saw no familiar figure.

"Grandma? Where are you?" the young man shouted.

"Here it is."

An old voice responded in the room.

The worry on the young man's face lightened slightly, and he quickly followed the sound.

At this time, the old man was not sitting at the door picking vegetables or chatting with the neighbors as usual. Instead, he was in the house, leaning against the window, wearing reading glasses and reading the invitation in his hand, frowning deeply.

"What are you looking at?" The young man walked over and leaned over to read the words printed on it.

The old man handed it to him directly so that he could look at it carefully.

"Sacrificing ancestors in the ancestral hall? What does this have to do with us?" The young man wondered.

The old man looked out the window and said, "My branch is not close to them."

The young man nodded, "Just say why I have no impression."

His great-grandfather immigrated here. Grandma's hometown is not in Yangcheng, but another water town. When he was a child, he went on vacation with his grandmother.

I have never been to Yangcheng.

The young man asked: "Are you going?"

The old man smiled and said, "Grandma can't walk anymore. Please walk for grandma."

"Me? Can I go?"

"Call this number and ask." The old man pointed to the phone number on the back of the invitation.

The young man took out his mobile phone and dialed the number on it. After getting through, he reported his grandma's name and told her what was going on here.

"Yes, my grandma is old and it is inconvenient to travel... My surname is Feng, and my Chinese name is the same as my grandma's surname... Oh, scan the QR code..."

After making the call, turn to the QR code in the invitation letter. After scanning the code, fill in the information step by step according to the instructions inside.

"Proof of identity...kinship..."

"Hey, you can also sign up for a flight ticket! Just treat it as a publicly funded trip!"

The young man was operating and said happily, "The organizer of this event is very proud. He must have spent a lot of money!"

"Is it okay?" the old man asked.

"Okay." The young man said.

"Arrange people in the orchard."

"Well, someone will be arranged to be in charge there, so I don't need to keep an eye on it myself."

The young man checked the procedures that needed to be completed and found that it was not troublesome.

"Grandma, I'm going to attend this event and take a trip to your hometown. It's been more than ten years. I wonder if there are any changes now? I'll video chat with you then!"

The old man smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Okay, okay."

The other side of the continental plate.

In the apartment, a young man was typing on the computer keyboard, crazily writing a paper.

The door was opened and someone walked in.

He ignored it.

But soon, the wonderful aroma of food filled the room, causing those who were staring at the computer screen to uncontrollably deviate from their thoughts.

He raised his head, revealing his bloodshot eyes.

He looked at the person standing not far away - it was his father's special assistant.

The assistant, who exuded an elite temperament, brought the food over and said in a calm tone: "You need to rest."

"Thank you, put it aside for now. I'll finish writing these two paragraphs before eating."

I was about to continue writing my thesis when a beautifully crafted letter was handed over to me.

The young man took it with a puzzled expression.

"Is there any important event recently that I don't know about? And the bilingual invitation letter... what is this?"

The young man looks as confused as a subway grandpa looking at his cell phone.

The elite assistant next to him: "As you can see, the invitation."

Young man: "I know every word on this!"

With an incredulous expression on his face, he looked at the bilingual invitation in his hand.

"It's unimaginable that there is such a... ceremony!"

"Of course, in some places, this is not uncommon," the elite assistant said.

"I'm very ignorant. I haven't seen any of the cities I've been to. Wow, I'm a little curious. But that's all."

His eyes glanced at the name above.

"This Chinese name sounds a bit familiar, who is it?" the young man asked.

"Your father." The assistant said.

"……oh."

The young man threw the invitation back and said, "Then go find my dad."

The elite assistant placed the invitation flat on the computer table: "The boss has two important meetings at that time, so I hope you can go there on your behalf."

"No time! I have to write a paper!" The young man buried his head in typing.

"The deadline for your paper is next weekend, so you can make it."

"Get out! Don't go! If you dare, tie me up and put me on the plane!"

The elite assistant still had a calm face and a calm voice: "Yangcheng is very close to the city where the Ancestral Factory headquarters is located. It only takes two hours by car."

The young man who was typing hard had his fingers paused and his lips pursed tightly.

The assistant continued: "After you participate in this event, you can take a taxi directly to the Ancestral Factory for a close visit, and maybe catch up on the rush to buy limited products."

"Hey, don't think you can control my schedule! Go away, don't disturb me while I'm writing my paper!" The young man buried his head and continued to type on the keyboard. After a while, "... Tell me when you book the flight!"

Limited product rush...

The Y series active protein of the ancestor factory, a fascinating magical substance, is more amazing and more complex than the previous generation S series!

How many scientific researchers have burned their hair but still can't crack the secret!

What kind of genius can make such a magical substance like the blessing of the gods?

The core driving force of the ancestor factory is really awe-inspiring!

It's a pity that the active proteins and derivatives of the Y series of the ancestor factory are limited to purchase.

Except for a few institutions and organizations that have close cooperation with the ancestor factory, others have to grab them if they want to buy them!

Generally book online.

Generally can't grab them.

He couldn't help but imagine: If I go to the headquarters of the ancestor factory, I wonder if there will be some wonderful encounters?

It's not impossible to go to Yangcheng to participate in this ceremony, just show up and sign in and leave!

September 3rd day, sign in!
