Chapter 22: Deep Alley
Yongxin was a little fluttering when he walked on the road, and he couldn't believe it at all.
After passing through several villages, one or two in each village said that they would come to the door, and although the price was not high, there was still a profit on the whole.
From the intention of continuing to be a blacksmith, Yongxin was not only happy but worried, he was afraid that all the money would be spent, but no one came to the door.
Fortunately, it was just the beginning, but the result was satisfactory to him.
Jin Yun also followed behind, the soles of her feet were grinding painfully, and her calves were a little weak, but she didn't feel tired, and she could continue to persevere.
The sun was shining, and the two of them finally walked to the town gate.
After investigation, Jin Yun had to enter Yuanli Town.
Yongxin did not delay, and directly took the left and right turns to an alley with no crowds.
The floor of the alley is very dirty, mixed with rain spilling all over the street, Jin Yun must be careful, the shoes she wears now are not more waterproof than before, and if she is not careful, she will not be able to wear them.
"Sister-in-law, watch your steps carefully, let's just walk slowly." Yongxin looked at the white embroidered shoes at the feet of his sister-in-law, there were some stains on both sides, and he felt embarrassed, he was often sent here by Blacksmith Liu to do things before, and a big man didn't feel anything dirty, so he didn't pay attention to it before he came.
Jin Yun didn't care if it was dirty or not, she just got her shoes wet, and it was inconvenient to go back.
Fortunately, it was not far from the alley, and it was the place.
The small shop is not big, and it is in full swing as soon as you enter the house.
There are many tools on the beams, hoes, rakes, knives, and axes needed for production, and shovels, spoons, hooks, and nails needed for life.
There is everything, but there is no one guarding the storefront.
Yongxin was accustomed to it, and when he entered the store, he shouted: "Master Wei, are you there?" ”
"Here we are." A gruff voice came from the back room.
The curtain was lifted, and a stout man with a bearded face stepped out, his bare arms covered with beads of sweat that could not hide its strength.
The strength full of strength made Jin Yun's eyes fall on it, and he couldn't look away for a long time.
As soon as Master Wei took half a step, he couldn't help but be stunned, put down the curtain and retreated to the back room.
Yongxin immediately felt that something was wrong, no matter how young her sister-in-law was, she was a girl, looking at her staring eyes, she thought that Jin Yun was frightened, and a cold sweat broke out, and she was at a loss for what to do.
"Ahem." Master Wei put on his clothes and walked out again, and he couldn't see whether he was embarrassed or not on his bearded face, but just kicked Yongxin fiercely.
Yongxin wants to cry without tears, what is this doing!
"You bastard, weren't you kicked out by Liu Zasha?" Master Wei's voice was very loud, and his ears hurt.
"Master Wei." Yongxin touched his head, a little ashamed.
"It's a good time, Lao Tzu has long taken a fancy to you, and I won't be allowed to leave today." Master Wei shouted, not knowing that he thought he was looking for trouble with the person opposite.
Yongxin's heart was warm, knowing that Master Wei was caring about him. "Master Wei, I came to tell you about this, my family asked me to open a shop in the village, and now everything is ready, I just want to come to tell you, save you from worrying."
Master Wei nodded slightly, but said, "Phew, who is worried about you stinky boy." ”
Yongxin looked up and smiled stupidly.
Master Wei looked a little disgusted, and sat next to him and tilted his waist: "It's good to open a shop, and you can take care of my business." Say, boy, get ready to buy something. ”
"I really want to trouble Master Wei." Yongxin went around his head, and he had dealt with Master Wei when he was a blacksmith Liu before.
Although Master Wei's shop is located in a deep alley, there are not many customers, but as long as they come, they will become regular customers, and the reason why Yongxin will come is mainly because Master Wei not only makes iron for others, but also sells tools and materials.
Because Master Wei didn't look down on Blacksmith Liu's personality, every time he came, he was cold and sarcastic, and Blacksmith Liu couldn't stand it after many times, and he didn't want to spend more money elsewhere, so he simply sent Yongxin over after taking the goods.
Yongxin just came, and Master Wei also glared at him, but fortunately, he was sincere, and he was familiar with each other, and Master Wei also took a fancy to Yongxin in his heart.
"Say it, order something."
Yongxin thought for a while and said, "A basket of charcoal, you don't need to be good, you need two small pieces of pig iron." ”
The price of pig iron is high, Yongxin doesn't dare to take more, a piece is enough to repair Aunt Shi's bone chopping knife, and another piece is left at home for backup.
Master Wei glared: "I came all the way to ask for these?" ”
Yongxin smiled.
"Okay, you kid is willing to run, Lao Tzu doesn't care." Master Wei shook his hand, got up and went into the house, and picked out a basket of bamboo charcoal, on which were placed two pieces of pig iron the size of a child's fist.
He put it on the ground and said, "Take it back, Lao Tzu doesn't have time to entertain you." ”
Yongxin stretched out his hand to take out the money, but he didn't want to stop a hand: "I am too lazy to keep accounts for such a small amount of money, and I will give it at the end of the month." ”
Master Wei's friendship Yongxin didn't know, but he couldn't agree, he reached out and pulled out his pocket for a while, grabbed a handful of copper plates and wanted to stuff them on the person opposite.
Master Wei slapped the table, blew his nose and glared, Yongxin stiffly stretched out his hand in the air, and he didn't go back or go.
The two of them pushed around beside them, and they didn't affect Jin Yun at all.
After entering the house, looking around, her eyes fell on a dagger.
A small dagger, which was larger than the palm of her hand, was not very finely workmanlike, but the materials available made her feel very strange.
The handle of the knife was pitch black, wrapped in unknown leather, and the skill of the knife was not as mixed with impurities as the other stores in the store, as if it had a layer of luster, but it was not as bright as the fine iron.
The knife was hung on the wall, Jin Yun was interested but couldn't reach it, and her heart couldn't help but itch, wanting to test whether this dagger that was not gorgeous was sharp.
Yongxin couldn't shirk it, and finally stuffed the copper plate in his clothes, Master Wei's kindness, in his heart, decided to wait until the end of the month to pay him a lot of money, and he couldn't be sorry for this friendship.
Master Wei nodded with satisfaction, and the little girl in the afterglow stared at the wall intently, and his focused appearance made him tremble a little.
"Like this dagger?" Master Wei walked over, perhaps facing a thin girl, and his voice was a little gentle.
Jin Yun didn't nod, she really couldn't say what she liked, she was just curious about its material.
"Is this made of fine iron?" If it was, Jin Yun would not even be curious. Although I haven't tried its sharpness, you can see the sharpness of the blade with the naked eye, but even so, not to mention the grandmaster, even the knife made of fine iron by ordinary masters is much stronger than this.
"Iron? Haha, it's just miscellaneous iron. Master Wei looked up and laughed, but no one could tell his silence.
