Chapter 29 Upgrading of Painting Skills [Please read]
Wei Yi, who was at home, didn’t know yet that his sword with the word Wei suddenly became popular.
He has been working hard on his painting skills.
I finally succeeded in improving my calligraphy and painting skills to the required proficiency level, and I was completely satisfied.
After upgrading, Wei Yi has acquired more superb painting skills, although he has not yet reached the pinnacle and superb level of everyone.
But it can also be painted vividly, with flowing clouds and flowing water.
And as long as you carefully observe and remember the characters or scenery, you can draw them perfectly.
Wei Yi sat up from the bed and looked at the sky. It was almost dusk.
It took almost another hour to integrate the upgraded information.
After today's writing and painting, the energy of pen and ink has condensed into a small tree in the sea of consciousness.
And Wei Yi also clearly felt that since he condensed this ink energy.
It seems that I have become brighter and smarter, my brain is more flexible, and my memory has been greatly improved.
The perception of the surroundings is clearer and more acute.
"Brother, are you awake?" As soon as Wei Yi walked out of the room, he saw a pretty face peeking out of the window next door. It was his sister Wei Qing.
"Yes, I'm going to cook for you!" Wei Yi stretched out, feeling relaxed both physically and mentally.
"Brother, Shopkeeper Du from Wanjiange Pavilion came here before. He seemed to have something to ask you, but he saw that you were sleeping, so he didn't disturb you and said he would come back later." "Oh, I was so asleep that I didn't know at all!
" Wei Yi said with a smile, but he was curious as to why Du Yujiang suddenly came to him.
Five one-jewel swords have been forged for him before, which should be enough to sell for a few days.
But he didn't think much and went straight to the kitchen and started cooking.
"Brother, I'll go with you!" Wei Qing happily chased out of the room, followed Wei Yi, and skipped into the kitchen.
Just as Wei Yi entered the kitchen to cook, Du Yujiang also drove from Wanjiange towards the Wei family again.
At this time, Du Yujiang was in a very good mood.
Today's battle with Jianfeng Tower was a complete victory for them.
Although he expected that the Wei sword would be sought after by the rich men in the city.
But I didn't expect everything to happen so quickly.
The arrival of Zhao Hanqing with a group of wealthy young men made Wei's sword instantly famous.
He also deliberately let people spread today's news.
The most important thing is that these rich kids will influence each other.
So in the next few days, the sword with the word Wei will definitely become famous.
This also completely shattered Jianfenglou's plan.
Du Yujiang knew very well that currently the only ninth-grade swordsmith in Wanjiang Pavilion was Wei Yi.
If they were to compete with Jianfeng Tower for sales, they would exhaust Wei Yi to death, and they would not be able to compete with the five swordsmiths of Jianfeng Tower.
Therefore, if you cannot win by quantity, you can only win by price and profit.
Jianfenglou had crazy discounts, so they raised prices like crazy.
This time and again, the quality of Wei's sword is highlighted.
And when they do this, it will arouse the curiosity of many people.
I will definitely want to explore the reason.
This also gave them a good opportunity to introduce Wei Yi and promote Wei Yi.
And took this opportunity to mold Wei Yi into a star swordsmith.
The key is that Wei Yi happens to have this kind of strength.
The sword he forged was truly of the highest quality, worthy of its high price and its status.
So everything fell into place.
It's just that the perfect foil and assist from Jianfeng Tower's event accelerated all this. Du Yujiang's positioning of the Wei-branded sword from the very beginning was the most high-end, top-notch one-jewel sword.
The buyers it targets are also the dignitaries in the city, that is, the wealthy people.
These people buy swords not for fighting or self-defense, but to show their identity and status.
Qiu Xuanji put those originally famous swords on discounts and sales like cabbage in the vegetable market, selling them at reduced prices.
It means lowering one's worth and destroying one's reputation.
Which rich person would still want to buy their sword.
Even rich kids who once owned those swords will feel that their swords are no longer worthy of their status.
Naturally, their attention will be focused on the sword with the word Wei that can once again highlight their status.
This is the reason why today those wealthy young men will buy swords with Wei characters one after another.
It can be said that Qiu Xuanji single-handedly destroyed the brand effect established by those five ninth-grade swordsmiths over the years.
Send all these high-end people to Wanjiange and give them to Wei Yi.
As for those middle and low-end consumer groups, it is not what they currently need.
It doesn't matter if I give it up to Jianfeng Tower.
Not long after, Du Yujiang came to Wei's house again. Hearing that Wei Yi was cooking in the kitchen, he went directly to the kitchen.
Smelling the aroma floating in the air, Du Yujiang couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"I'm cooking." Du Yujiang stood at the door and said with a smile.
"Shopkeeper Du, you're here, Qing'er, take Shopkeeper Du to the hall first!" Wei Yi said to Wei Qing.
"No, no, I just want to talk to you here." Du Yujiang said.
"Okay then!" Wei Yi stopped being polite to Du Yujiang and put the chopped yam into the casserole where the soup was boiling and smelling fragrant.
"It seems that your cooking skills are quite good. The smell makes people salivate!" Du Yujiang swallowed his saliva and said.
"Then I'm really not humble. My cooking skills are no worse than blacksmithing. Haha, how about it, Shopkeeper Du, stay here tonight and have a taste. Just before, didn't you want to know what happened when I heated the Qiang stone with the sword body? Is that true? Let’s talk after dinner!” Wei Yi said with a smile.
He always felt that Du Yujiang had helped a lot with his second uncle's affairs, and this kindness could not only be repaid by his cooperation with Wan Jiange.
So he was willing to make Du Yujiang a friend and tell him some of the heat treatment methods he knew.
Maybe it can help him find some inspiration and break through the bottleneck.
Hearing Wei Yi's words, Du Yujiang's face was full of surprise. He could taste the delicious food and listen to Wei Yi's description of the unique techniques, so he was naturally disrespectful.
"Okay, then I won't be polite to you anymore, Shuanzi, go buy a jar of good wine!" Du Yujiang turned around and said to the boy behind him.
The boy named Shuanzi responded, took the money from Du Yujiang's hand, and ran out of the yard quickly.
"By the way, I almost forgot about the business. I'm here to tell you the good news. Your sword with the word Wei has become famous today. All the five swords that were sent before have been sold, and there are still four more that were reserved. . Here is the money for five swords, a total of four hundred taels." Du Yujiang took out the banknotes from his arms.
After hearing Du Yujiang's words, Wei Qing and Shitou's eyes widened.
Four hundred taels of silver were earned from five swords, which was too much.
In the past, the swords forged by Wei Tieshan could be sold for up to two taels of silver each.
These four hundred taels of silver can only be earned by making at least two hundred swords.
Although they knew that Wei Yi would be very profitable after becoming a ninth-grade swordsmith, they did not expect to be so profitable.
"What did you do?" Wei Yi also looked at Du Yujiang in surprise.
He also didn't expect that his sword would become famous so quickly.
Moreover, the five swords earned four hundred taels of silver, which means that one sword was sold for one hundred taels.
Such a high price, but still sold out, this is obviously what Du Yujiang used.
"Haha, it's a little trick, but thanks to Jianfeng Tower's support, hahaha..." Du Yujiang couldn't help but feel happy when he mentioned this matter.
