After lunch, Wang Qi parted ways with Liu Qing. Liu Qing went back to the dormitory alone, and he walked towards the school gate, preparing to take a car to the steel market, buy a few small steel pipes, and make a few air guns for self-defense.

With his current ability to do superficial machining and mechanical design, the air gun can only shoot as a single shot like an air gun that shoots balloons outside.

But this is obviously not conducive to a melee when there are many people.

The solution he can think of at the moment is to make a few more barrels, load them all, store them in the cube, and once there is an emergency that requires "fire suppression", they will be summoned one by one to form continuous fire.

Or summon them all at once and launch them together, like a "swarm" of primitive rockets on the ancient battlefield.

Wang Qi inquired all the way, poured the bus three times, and finally came to the "Hengsheng Steel Market" located in Balongpo. ”

This was his first time in this kind of place, and it was an eye-opener to see the various types and uses of steel bars, pipes, coils and plates piled up in the market.

After a general browsing, Wang Qi finally walked to a store that sold various stainless steel pipes and proposed to the boss that he wanted to buy a Φ25×2.5 stainless steel pipe. He just turned around and found that the smallest steel pipes sold here have 25 millimeters, and one is 6 meters long, and he only needs to buy one to get six barrels with a length of 1 meter.

"What, one, young man, what are you kidding! We are a wholesale market, not retail!" The boss, who was enthusiastic at first, heard him say that he would only buy one, and his face suddenly changed, thinking that he was here to make trouble.

Wang Qi was a little embarrassed, and he also knew that it was a bit funny to buy a single one in the steel market where the wholesale volume was at least one ton. When he saw that the boss didn't want to sell him, he said that he only needed a tube, and it didn't matter if the price was high.

"The problem is little brother, I can't operate a pipe! The profit of steel is very thin, it all depends on the volume, you buy a pipe, even if the price doubles, I can't make any money, and even the errand fee is not enough." The boss spread his hands and looked reluctant.

Wang Qi is not a person who likes to beg people, he saw that there were several merchants selling the same pipe in the market, so he said "excuse me" and left the shop.

In the following time, Wang Qi asked two more pipe shops, and at first the shopkeepers were smiling and welcoming, but when he said that he only wanted to buy one, his good face was gone, and he said that he would not sell it.

With all three stores closed, Wang Qi began to feel anxious, thinking that it would not be possible to go on like this, so he planned to go to the next store, even if he was dead and begged his father to tell his milk, he also asked the boss to sell him a pipe.

However, when Wang Qi was surprised, the owner of the fourth store was a middle-aged woman who was very talkative, and she greeted him with a smile all the time, even if she learned that he only bought a pipe, she did not have the kind of disgust on the faces of the previous three shopkeepers, and directly led him to the warehouse and asked him to choose, and the price did not count his high price, only charged him 20 yuan.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much, Sister Liu, you helped me a lot. Wang Qi thanked the chubby middle-aged woman surnamed Liu in front of him.

"No thanks, Xiao Wang. If my family is still there, I'm afraid I'm as old as you!" the middle-aged woman waved her hand, her round face showing a hint of sadness.

This made Wang Qi stunned, and immediately understood the reason why the other party treated him like this, I was afraid that he saw the shadow of his own child in him.

As for what happened to the child named "Lele", Wang Qi didn't dare to ask, for fear of arousing people's sadness.

The six-meter-long pipe, of course, Wang Qi couldn't take it away. Sister Liu also found this problem, so she asked him what he bought the steel pipe for, and did it have to be so long?

Wang Qi lied that he had bought it as a clothespole, and that it really didn't need to be so long.

"Okay, I'll cut it into two sections for you with a cutter so you can get in the car. Sister Liu said enthusiastically.

"Then Sister Liu, why don't you help me cut it into six one-meter-long pipes...... Belch...... That, in fact, I rented a house, in poor condition, and the alley where I dried clothes was only one meter wide. Wang Qi touched his head and made an embarrassed look. In front of such an enthusiastic eldest sister, he really can't bear to lie to the other party, but he can't help but tell lies, so he won't tell the truth, right?

Unexpectedly, when Sister Liu heard this, she told him in a serious tone, "What is this?" Young people, as long as they are willing to endure hardships and struggle, and do not cheat and cheat, they will definitely get ahead in the current society! I think that at the beginning, when she and her family came to Jiangcheng from a small county town with less than 2,000 yuan to work hard, they did not endure any hardships? What hardships did they not endure? Wasn't it that he gritted his teeth and endured them? After three or five years, he came bitterly and willingly, and saw the light of day.

“…… So, Xiao Wang, it doesn't matter if you are poor, but you can't be short-sighted! As long as you have ambition and are willing to endure hardships, you will definitely be willing to endure hardships. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Sister Liu is right! I think so too, I don't care if I make more money or less money, I will suffer for a few years first, and learn the master's craftsmanship at home. ”

"Master, Xiao Wang, which master are you learning from?"

"Yes, Sister Liu. I am learning to sell small noodles. I plan to go back to my hometown to open a small noodle restaurant after completing my studies. ”

"Then you have to learn by heart. Jiangcheng noodles look simple, and there are many famous halls in it. In a bowl of noodles, there are more than a dozen kinds of seasonings alone, and several of them are specially made. ”

"That's true, Sister Liu. Jiangcheng's small noodles are broad and profound, and if you want to learn it thoroughly, you must have to work hard......"

“……”

Wang Qi answered Sister Liu's questions, and his face always looked humble and teachable, but his heart was uncomfortable, because he had been making up, cheating, and telling all lies.

"It seems that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black! I have been messing with Liu Qing for a long time, and Lao Tzu has also contracted the problem of talking about people when he sees people, and talking about ghosts and ghosts!" During the chat, Wang Qi couldn't help but let out a sigh in his heart.

Sister Liu used the cutting machine in her shop to cut the six-meter-long stainless steel seamless steel pipe in Wang Qi's hand into six of equal length, and then found a plastic bag for him to put together.

After that, Sister Liu returned the 20 yuan he gave him earlier, saying that this pipe was given to him, and it was not a valuable thing.

Where can Wang Qi ask for nothing, insisting on giving money, Sister Liu immediately turned her face and said that since this is the case, she will not sell the pipe.

As a last resort, Wang Qi had no choice but to accept Sister Liu's gift.

Before leaving, Sister Liu took a business card from the box on the table and handed it to him, saying, "Xiao Wang, this is a bright piece of our shop, you keep it." When I have time, I will come to the shop to play, and I will set up a show with my old wife, and when the time comes, I will make two good dishes, you, me, and my old man, and the three of us will drink a little wine together. Today he delivered the goods, and I will introduce you to you next time you come, an old man with a good personality, like a cow and a horse.

"Alas, I don't know why today, I always feel that I have a special fate with Xiao Wang. If I don't leave, I should be as old as you. It's a pity......" Sister Liu sighed, and a pair of dizzy old eyes turned out to be foggy.

Wang Qi took the business card, and when he saw it, there was the name of the shop, "Kaile Pipe Industry", probably after her son. Below the storefront is a person's name, called "Liu Yufen", which should be Sister Liu's name. Finally, a mobile phone number. The business card is very simple, black on a white background, and there is no design, it should be the most simple business card Wang Qi has ever seen.

"Okay, Sister Liu, as long as you don't get annoyed, I will definitely come to you to nag when I have time. Wang Qi put the business card into the trouser pocket of his shorts, and then immediately solemnly put it into the cube's room temperature, thinking to himself, when he is developed in the future, he will come back to see Sister Liu, this kind and unfortunate woman who regards him as her own son to some extent.
