The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 78

[Chapter 78 Invention of a Pen]

This was drawn by the way when he was drawing those decoration drawings. He thought that after finishing the things at hand, he must ask the craftsman to make him a new pen.

Writing with an ancient brush is really too much trouble for him!

“It’s okay, but I don’t know what the young master wants this thing for?”

Looking at the drawings that Lin Tian took out, the steward took a look and found that it was not difficult, so he agreed at once.

But the structure of this drawing looked really novel, which made him a little confused.

“This young master wants to invent a new pen. The brush is too slow to write!”

Lin Tian did not shy away from making this thing just to make it convenient for himself.

The steward took a look and didn’t see any tricks. He thought that it was probably just that the young master suddenly became interested, so he didn’t ask more questions.

“That’s no problem, the young master will come and get it tomorrow.”

The steward took the drawings and said.

The glass manufacturing technology of this era was not very good, and the cost was also very expensive.

Lin Tian thought that even if this convenient pen was made, it would probably not be popular.

After all, no one has the spare money to spend a lot of money to make a glass pen.

It would be better to just buy a brush, it only costs a few coins.

“Then you can make it, and send it to my room tomorrow.” Lin Tian nodded with satisfaction and left.

The next afternoon, someone soon brought the glass tube that Lin Tian had ordered to be made.

When he got the finished product, Lin Tian was extremely happy.

He first asked Lin Kang to grind the ink first, and then poured it into the glass tube little by little.

Then he took a brush, cut off the brush head, mixed the brush head with some special medicine, and then stuffed it into a small wooden plug.

Then he plugged the small wooden plug into the other end of the glass tube.

Since the inside was connected, the ink in the tube soon soaked the brush head.

Lin Tian was very satisfied, and immediately copied this simple pen and wrote a few words on the paper.

Although it was still a little soft and powerless, it was much better than a brush.

This is a simple pen, and there is no way to compare it with the current technology.

But Lin Tian couldn’t do it either, the modern ballpoint pen technology is much more difficult than he imagined.

He studied it carefully last night, but he had no clue at all!

There are very detailed steps in the database, but it is impossible to make it according to the technology of this era.

So Lin Tian simply gave up. This kind of pen is already much more convenient.

When not in use, just stand it upside down, or pour out all the ink inside, and you can put it away.

“Okay, I’ve been bored these days, let’s go out for a walk!”

Lin Zuhua has been gone for several days and has not come back. Lin Tian has been staying in the study to draw drawings these days. It’s not easy to get some free time.

He must go out and relax and breathe!

“Where do you want to go, young master?”

Lin Kang asked. Could it be that he wants to go to some flower house tomorrow?

His face made Lin Tian understand what he was thinking at once, so he was kicked in the butt soon.

“What are you thinking about? Go to the land of gentleness!”

Lin Tian touched his chin and thought about it. It has been a while since he last visited Tang Chuchu, and he didn’t know how the business was.

He gave Liu’er a few recipes last time, and he didn’t know how Liu’er studied those pastries.

Because he was busy these days, he didn’t read what Tang Chuchu reported.

Today, he finally has some free time, so he might as well go for a field inspection!

Unfortunately, every time Lin Tian went to the gentle land, he happened to encounter someone making trouble.

And the person who made trouble today happened to be an old acquaintance of his.

“I have all kinds of delicacies in my house, why do you have to show up here?”

Ma Zhuowen leaned on the counter with one hand and was chatting with Tang Chuchu.

However, Tang Chuchu ignored him and was busy with her own things.

“You are busy here all day, but just to earn a few dollars. If you follow me, I will give you as much as you want!”

Ma Zhuowen insisted, but it was a pity that Tang Chuchu didn’t even give him an extra look.

“Just tell me how much money you want.”

Ma Zhuowen was also anxious. When he came before, Tang Chuchu would at least reply to him.

But today, she didn’t even give him an extra look!

“Two hundred and fifty thousand taels of gold, can you afford it?”

Tang Chuchu finally finished the accounts in her hands and raised her head to reply to him.

Her tone was naturally extremely disdainful.

He was just a prodigal son who only knew how to spend the family’s money, not as good as Lin Tian.

Lin Tian went to the Song family’s gambling house before and won a full 250,000 taels of gold. Tang Chuchu admired him for a long time!

Ma Zhuowen’s face turned red and white when he heard Tang Chuchu say this.

He also knew that Lin Tian went to the Song family’s gambling house to win such a large sum of money. That day, his father broke two vases in the study!

When he mentioned this, Ma Zhuowen gritted his teeth.

“I think he can’t afford it!”

Lin Tian suddenly spoke at this time, walked in leisurely from outside, and said with a smile.

Ma Zhuowen saw him and his face changed with hatred. He snorted coldly and was about to leave.

But Lin Tian didn’t agree.

“Why, you come here and leave without a cup of tea?”

Lin Tian stopped him with a smile, and signaled Tang Chuchu to prepare tea quickly.

Tang Chuchu didn’t understand Lin Tian’s intention, but seeing that he signaled her with his eyes, she hurried over.

Seeing that Tang Chuchu was willing to make tea for him, Ma Zhuowen snorted and stopped awkwardly.

“I heard that you like my shopkeeper very much?”

Lin Tian continued to ask, but it didn’t seem like he was forcing her.

In modern terms, it was like his sister was being pursued by a man, and he came to ask about the situation.

“What does this have to do with you!”

Ma Zhuowen didn’t have a good face to Lin Tian at all, and he wouldn’t answer him properly.

“Then what does she have to do with you? You come to my gentle place all day and affect my business. Otherwise, Master Ma will compensate me for some lost wages?”

Lin Tian still looked like a smiling tiger, but there was also a coldness in his eyes.

He had heard Lin Kang talk about the situation during this period when he came.

Ma Zhuowen has been pestering Tang Chuchu these days, and he comes to the store to harass Tang Chuchu almost every day.

Although no substantial harm has been caused, because of such a big Buddha here, there are fewer customers coming to play.

“How much silver do you want? This young master has plenty of money, I will give it to you!” Ma Zhuowen snorted.

He felt that Lin Tian only had money in his eyes.

A character like Tang Chuchu must be wasted by Lin Tian.

“Not much, not much, give me 100,000 taels of gold!”
