Spring goes to winter, summer and autumn overlap, the cold and heat are nowhere to go, and there is no trace of people!

Yangshan County, a small border town.

Jingle Bell!

The melodious sound of gold and iron, accompanied by a rapid or slow, heavy or light beating sound, floated around in the north of the city.

It's been two years since then.

In a small shop, four or five young men dressed in oilskin shorts, or directly shirtless, wielded hammers wantonly, striking dazzling sparks on the anvils.

Whew!

The two young men pushed and pulled the bellows so hard that the fire jumped two feet high, and the walls of the licking furnace were orange.

The business of the small iron shop is very good, and customers come in from time to time.

But the strange thing is that in this iron shop, which is obviously not too big or small, there are actually some ploughing tools, rakes, or spatulas and pans.

At most, a few sharp kitchen knives!

What's even more strange is that among the guests who come and go, there are ordinary villagers wearing cloth shirts and linen clothes, or ordinary people, as well as fierce warriors and men in strong suits.

On weekdays, the warriors who shouted at the common people did not buy pots and pans after entering the store, but just picked a sharp kitchen knife.

did not show force, bullied the guests, or suppressed the blacksmiths, paid and walked away quickly, and even had a smile on his face.

Moreover, kitchen knives sell so well that they seem to be very popular, and they are often sold out as soon as they are put on the shelves.

However, not all kitchen knives are like this.

Several blacksmith apprentices glanced at each other, smiling bitterly, but their eyes were also full of excitement, and they brandished their hammers, showing even more effort, as if they were honored.

In fact, the kitchen knives that were sold were not made by them, but the owner of the blacksmith shop, a young man who did not look like a blacksmith at all, but a young man who was a master master.

The most incredible thing is that this young professor does not hide any selfishness when he strikes iron, and as long as he comes to learn sincerely, he does not need to be apprenticed, as long as he puts in the work, he can obtain a good craft.

And these five apprentices are the four people who have stayed behind among the apprentices who have graduated and left one after another in the past two years.

The reason why I say four apprentices is because one of them is the one who followed the master early in the morning, and he is also the only one who calls the master and is recognized.

The four of them were a little jealous, but they didn't have many bad intentions, and even on weekdays, they had to provide for them well.

Because the master teaches the art industry, only this one person is passed on.

The reason why he did not refuse to come was because when he was teaching his art, these apprentices could sit in on the teachings, and the apprentices could also ask for advice from this first disciple.

Seriously speaking, this first apprentice, who is not very old and a few years younger than the master, can be regarded as half of their master.

It's just that people still don't admit it!

Of course, the most important thing is that they can't beat it.

Don't look at the young age of the first apprentice, and he is not as good as the weak crown, but in the past two years, there have been countless people who have been beaten out by him.

The products of the blacksmith shop are all high-quality products, but they are only used for making tableware and farming, and of course there will be people who come to the door to ask for something else.

But whether the other party wants to take it for his own use, or force a high-quality blade, he will end up in nothing.

More than once, they saw with their own eyes that this young man beat those invincible and high-ranking warriors on weekdays to cry their fathers and call their mothers.

Therefore, the blacksmith shop has a good business, and usually people who come to buy things are buying pots and pans or farming utensils.

Only once every half a month, on the day when kitchen knives are sold, will there be a strange scene of warriors coming to the door.

These warriors, of course, are not fools, and in order to snatch the ownership of the few kitchen knives, they even almost killed themselves.

In the end, it was the first disciple who made a move to stop a shopping struggle.

Without it, these kitchen knives are all sharp tools for entering the product, but the price is not expensive.

Although it is limited, the key is that it is really easy to use!

If you come to the Northland, as long as you see a warrior with a kitchen knife in his waist, it must be the product of this blacksmith shop.

But today, a special guest came.

This is a thin and short old man, with a thick black face full of folds, and a pair of small eyes that seem to be cloudy and can't see clearly, just spinning on the kitchen utensils.

"Uncle, what do you want to buy, I'll help you pick it, I don't dare to say anything else, but the entire Yangshan County, no, it's Wutong Mansion, and there is no good thing in our blacksmith shop!"

A fellow leaned in and wiped his hands with a sweat towel.

"Ha, young man, don't talk big!"

The old man was like an old peasant, with his hands behind his back, sweeping over all the iron tools, and said with a smile, "According to what you say, these things are good and bad?"

"This ......"

The young man sneered, but didn't dare to pick up.

Even the children from the peasant family know that if they really want to take this, they will offend people.

"Ahem, Xiao Wu, go get busy!"

At this time, a young man dressed in a short shirt walked over, with a warm smile on his slightly dark face, "Uncle, all the things in our store are good."

But you also know that there are masters and apprentices, and the ironware is made, of course, there will be differences, and the price will also be different. ”

"Hey, I'll just buy a kitchen knife, and there are so many doorways?"

The old man exaggerated.

"Look at what you always say, not to mention that this craft is a trade, even if it is farming, isn't there many ways?"

The young man laughed.

"Yes, yes, the young man is very insightful! Tell me, ...... here."

The old man approved.

"Lu Lao came all the way from afar, it won't be just to tease the juniors, right?"

At this moment, a young man in his twenties, dressed in cloth, carried two jars of wine and walked into the blacksmith shop.

"Master!"

When he boarded, the sound of striking iron was quiet, and the room was full of respectful and honorific titles.

"Master!"

Only the young man shouted respectfully, his big black eyes turned to the old man beside him intentionally or unintentionally.

"Haha, you kid, you are still so short-sighted, can't my old man mention a few words to the junior?"

The old man laughed heartily, then pretended to be displeased, blew his beard and glared.

"Heh, that's what you always say?"

The young man raised his eyebrows, meaning deeply.

"This ......"

The old man hesitated, and said cautiously, "Don't sell it to the old man, if you really want to do it, I will do it, and if you can't do it, don't force it!"

"Huh!"

The young man shook his head with a smile and said lightly, "Since you have always said it, then I will not be polite."

Sun Yu, don't hurry up and kowtow, thank you for the grace of Lu seniors!"

"Younger generation Sun Yu, thank you for passing on your art!"

The young man's eyes lit up, he bowed his head, and screamed simply, knocking.

"You...... You ......"

The old man was dumbfounded, pointed at the young man, and said with a smile, "With your current craft, why do you want me to pass on the art?

As he spoke, he went to help the young man.

"Haha!"

The young man laughed heartily and said, "Without your old man's permission, I don't dare to pass on your housekeeping skills!"

"Hey, you, okay, I'm ready!"

The old man glanced at the young man with a complicated expression, and only then did he really help the young man up.

"Lu Lao came from afar, I just hit two jars of good wine, I must have a good time today, please!"

The young man stepped forward, enthusiastically took the old man's arm, and walked to the back hall.

The young man hurriedly followed, his master was going to entertain distinguished guests, and he, as an apprentice, naturally had to serve beside him.

These three people are naturally Lu Chuan and Sun Yu's apprentices, as well as the old blacksmith of Luta.

The rest of the guys were all envious.

They are not stupid, they can understand in just a few words, this old man has mastered a mastery, and even his own master must be allowed to teach it.

It's just that there are some things that can't be envied by envy.

In the back hall, a woman who was dressed plainly, but could not hide her beauty, came to visit, accompanied by a beautiful girl.

"This is the inner son Li Yuehua, the sister-in-law Shen Yueru!"

Lu Chuan enthusiastically introduced, and said with a smile, "This is an old timer of Luta, when I was in Shangjing, I was taken care of by his old man many times!"

"I've seen Senior Lu!"

The two girls greeted each other.

"Good!"

Ruta couldn't help but be overjoyed, took out two things from his arms, and stuffed them to the two girls without saying anything.

"Take it!"

When Lu Chuan saw the two girls looking at him, he nodded directly in agreement.

Rutale straightened the beard that didn't have much left, and the wrinkles on his face couldn't hide his smile.

The greeting gift is something that can only be given by one's own parents.

As for Sun Yu, naturally there is no more, and even the best skills have been promised to be taught, what else do you need to meet the gift?

Even if Lu Ta wanted to give it, Lu Chuan didn't let him, and directly pulled the old man into a seat.

Pushing the cup and changing the lamp, after three rounds of drinking, the daughters' families consciously retreated.

"I didn't expect that, in just a few years, you have already started a family!"

Ruta sighed, his expression complicated.

"Look at what you always said, my boss is not too young, can't I start a family yet?"

Lu Chuan pretended to be displeased.

"Haha!"

Lu Ta shook his head with a smile, and pointed at Lu Chuan and said, "When I saw you back then, I knew that you were an idle troublemaker, who would dare to believe that you could be idle and start a family?"

"After many years of shaking, it is finally time to return to the roots!"

Lu Chuan said indifferently.

"Really?"

Lu Ta's eyes were deep, and he looked at Lu Chuan meaningfully, "Why does the old man think that your heart is not here?"

"You can't see me all the time, okay? If you let Uchiko hear this, I'll be miserable!"

Lu Chuan said unhappily.

"If that's the case, you should wash all the lead at this time and enter the innate realm!"

Ruta didn't seem to realize it, and said to herself.

Lu Chuan's brows furrowed slightly, and he smiled lightly: "Good eyesight, I ask myself if I am congenital, and few people can detect it." ”

"Hey, your kid's craftsmanship is all taught by me, and your self-cultivation is far from home!"

Ruta said triumphantly.

"I see!"

Lu Chuan nodded, and said, "So, the reason why you haven't stepped into the innate for so many years is because you haven't reached home with self-cultivation skills?"

"You...... Your temper that doesn't suffer losses really hasn't changed at all!"

Lu Ta blew his beard and glared, seeing Sun Yu smiling on the side, he didn't have a good breath and said, "Go aside, I'll talk to your master about something!"

"Yes!"

Seeing Lu Chuan waving his hand, Sun Yu hurriedly withdrew from the main hall.
