Chapter XXIV Acquisitions
"No, it's Childe's new creation, I don't dare to monopolize it..."Gan Xin took Yang Bo's sketch of the drawing, glanced at it, and exclaimed: "Childe, what you asked me to do is a fire gun and a long knife?" As he spoke, he shook his head like a rattle, "Childe still knows, weapons can only be built in the shipyard of the Shen Mansion, and my blacksmith shop can't even beat a kitchen knife." ”
"What?" When Yang Bo heard this, he was immediately stupid.
Gan Blacksmith's brows twisted into a Sichuan character, and he said bitterly: "Son, you have also been to our shop, have you ever seen me fight a kitchen knife?" The Shenfu Shipyard has its own iron-making furnace, specializing in making weapons, and my shop can only take jobs that people don't want to take, such as iron nails, iron anchors, etc., these things of the son, I don't dare to take them. ”
Bang, Shen Jizhi is so ruthless that he doesn't even let people hit a kitchen knife.
Yang Bo suddenly felt the urge to shout, 'I can't breathe'.
Of course, Shen Fu's treatment of the blacksmith shop in this way was inadvertently a perfect Yang Bo, and the quicklime slag removal technology has not been leaked so far.
Ma Daochang taught Gan Xin to use quicklime to produce slag, Gan Xin didn't know the benefits of doing that, he didn't even hit a kitchen knife, he hit some iron nails, gold pendants, and iron anchors all day long, of course, he couldn't tell the good from the bad.
Yang Bo sat for a long time, didn't speak for a long time, but Gan Xin was still carefully checking Yang Bo's sketch of the firecracker, Gan Xin claimed to have played the firecracker, and naturally he also had some eyesight.
"Huh? Childe, you have a firebolt that is a bit similar to the bird gun used by the official army, with a crosshair and a door, but it is not like it, there is a place to place the firerope on the wood, and the bolt is also very different, but I have seen this bolt somewhere. Gan Xin touched a cam structure on the bolt with his hand, déjà vu, scratched his head, suddenly remembered something, and shouted: "I think about it, the bolt in the iron lump you showed me last time is almost the same as this one." ”
Yang Bo said in his heart, can it be different? I just drew the scoop according to the gourd, but the size is different, and the structure is exactly the same.
Yang Bo said in his mouth: "Brother Gan, this is called a fire-type rear-loading musket, and it doesn't need a fire rope." Yang Bo paused, and deliberately lowered his voice, "This musket is a tap fire, and it can be fired with a slight blow from the firing pin, and if it can be made, it will be the best musket in the world, hehehe." ”
Gan Blacksmith suddenly looked at Yang Bo with a pair of small eyes, and said in his heart that this Yang Gongzi is the apprentice of Ma Shenxian, and now there are many rumors about him in the market, some people say that he is a fire person, what Nezha is in the world, three flavors of real fire, and he is godlike.
The rumors may not be true, but Yang Bo is the apprentice of Ma Shenxian, but it is true, Gan Xin is used to seeing Ma Daochang's whimsical ideas, Yang Bo can be favored by Ma Daochang and accepted as an apprentice, I don't think he is a general, and it is not impossible to make the best musket in the world, right?
"I believe, I believe, you are a master disciple of the horse fairy, can I not believe it?" Gan Xin nodded again and again, then scratched his ears and cheeks, and shook his head, "It's a pity that I'm in Shenjiabao, it's not that I don't want to do it, it's that people don't let me do it." ”
Yang Bo also has an understanding of Gan Xin's temperament, which is due to the experience of the two of them developing hot pot together, he is not averse to new things, he likes to ponder, but sometimes he doesn't know the essentials.
Yang Bo originally wanted to find a middleman and quietly buy his blacksmith shop. Then invite Gan Xin and his buddies back, but playing this kind of small action is inevitably self-defeating, and the shop is obtained, but it may also lose people's hearts.
Yang Bo's mentality has changed a lot now, he needs to sell people's hearts and build a core team loyal to him, only in this way can he slowly get rid of Shen Jizhi's control.
Gan Xin is a sincere person, Yang Bo is also assured, the most important thing is that he has cooperated with Ma Daochang for a few years, this experience is too precious, Yang Bo is determined to solicit Gan Xin for his own use.
Yang Bo pretended to regret and said: "It seems that I have to find another master." Yang Bo touched his nose and said to himself, "Maybe in the future, I will open another blacksmith shop, maybe in Shenjiabao, or somewhere else, but where can I find a good blacksmith to sit for me?" I'm really short of talent. ”
When Gan Xin heard this, a pair of small eyes suddenly narrowed into a slit, and the light in the crack was shining, and he secretly thought to himself, "Yang Gongzi himself has to open a shop, won't this hot pot follow?" Am I going to cast iron anchors all day long? Cast iron anchors are the most boring, make less money, and can't grow long, which is not good. ’
Gan Xin thought about it, and finally said: "If Childe really opened a blacksmith shop, I am willing to follow Childe, I just ask Childe not to dislike it..."
"No, no, you have your own shop in Shenjiabao, isn't that difficult for a strong man?" Yang Bo shook his head and said seriously.
"Childe, I am also dissatisfied with Childe and said, I don't make a few taels of silver a month in this blacksmith shop, that is, this month, thanks to Childe's hot pot support, I can earn four or five taels, and this shop is not worth a few dollars, even if I sell it, I am willing to follow Childe." Blacksmith Gan looked at Yang Bo with blank eyes, and his words were earnest.
Yang Bo looked at Gan Xin steadily, and saw that Gan Blacksmith's heart was furious, and then he said: "In this case, I bought your blacksmith shop, you will quote a price to me tomorrow, and I will pay you silver at twice the market price, and I will ask you to be the master craftsman of the stone temple, and the salary of five taels of silver per month, the guys in your shop will be under your control, what do you think?" ”
“......”
Gan Xin never thought that Yang Bo would give such a generous treatment, you must know that his shop had worked hard for several months before, and he might not be able to earn five taels of silver, and he was grateful to Yang Bo in his heart, his lips trembled a few times, and he finally didn't speak.
"What, Brother Gan, you don't want to?" Yang Bo saw the changeable expression on Gan Xin's face, and knew that Gan Xin had already agreed in his heart, so he asked playfully.
"No, no, no, I'm not." Gan Xin said anxiously: "I mean, I am willing." ”
Yang Bo laughed, and was about to announce that Gan Xin had become an official member of the stone temple, but when he saw He Qifeng probing his brain at the door, he stood up, walked to the door, and whispered to blame: "Qifeng, didn't you say that you should recuperate in the clinic first?" When you run around like this, when will the knife wound on your leg get better? ”
"Leshui brought me trauma ointment, I applied it early in the morning, I..." He Qifeng said, he simply limped into the house, and saw Gan blacksmith sitting on the side, wanting to stop talking.
Yang Bo saw He Qifeng's expression was miserable, and he knew that Lu Yin was afraid that he was doing what Lao Jin was doing at this moment, as a son of man, in order to prevent the Zheng family from cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, he had to hide in Tibet, and he couldn't come in person, so he didn't feel good for anyone, and now he must want to ask Uncle Lu if he has any news.
"Uncle Lu only left last night, how could there be news so soon? You heal your wounds first, let's go, I'll send you over. Yang Bo raised his legs and walked out of the house, and said to Gan Xin: "This is He Qifeng, a hunter brother I met in Xishan, and his father was killed by gangsters a few days ago. Let's go together, I'll take you to the back factory to have a look, there are a lot of things for you to do. ”
Blacksmith Gan didn't think much about it, but although He Qifeng's face was strangely tanned, it could be seen from his immature expression that this person was also a half-grown child, partial and strong, extremely tall, and Gan Xin couldn't help but be amazed.
Yang Bo looked at the two beside him, one was tall, young and impulsive, and the other looked stupid and dark, but he had a sullen heart and was extremely curious.
Yang Bo didn't care if he was happy or not, he insisted on bringing him into the consultation room, and when he came out, he also closed the door, as soon as he turned around, a white light flashed in front of his eyes, Yang Bo whistled, the white figure twisted his body suddenly, jumped up, and fell into Yang Bo's arms, not a black spot, who is it?
The black spotted head arched in Yang Bo's arms for a while, his mouth whimpered, and his slender tongue licked and rubbed on Yang Bo's face, looking extremely affectionate.
The black dots are now eating amazingly, growing quickly, almost every day, and their eyes are gradually glowing green, but so far Yang Bo has not noticed the murderous side of the black dots, but Yang Bo knows in his heart that that day will come sooner or later.
The snow in the backyard was piled up in several piles, and on one of them stood a snowman with a carrot stuck in his face as his nose and a red cloth around his neck.
"Leshui... Yang Bo looked around, but he didn't see Leshui and Yiming, so he called a few times, but there was no response, and it was estimated that the two of them went to the main hall to play a game of playing glass beads again.
These days, Yang Bo tried to use sign language to communicate with Yiming, such as teaching him to use sign language to express emotions of joy, anger and sorrow, the direction of the front and back, left and right, etc., Zheng Yiming learned quickly, Leshui often played glass beads with Yiming, and even learned a lot, Zheng Yiming found the fun of communicating and interacting with people, so he pulled Leshui to play glass beads all day long, obviously the black spot was left out.
Black dots appeared, and it was rare for Yiming to be absent, and Yang Bo couldn't find Yiming nearby, so he had to give up.
Yang Bo and Gan Xin came to the alcohol room, Yang Bo only saw Ding Jiu alone, and he was strange, he also told Ji Shun this morning to increase manpower and increase alcohol production, what's going on?
"Master Ding, why are you alone, Zhou Zheng?" Yang Bo asked.
Ding Jiu saw that it was Yang Bo, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Son, Zhou Zheng said that there was something at home, and the snow did not stop last night, so he went to Xishan." Ding Jiu seemed to know Yang Bo's thoughts, and added: "In the afternoon, five or six people came over to help, which was arranged by Ji Guan's family. ”
Yang Bo nodded, didn't say anything more to Ding Jiu, pointed to the still that refines alcohol and said to Gan Xin: "Now that there is a great demand for alcohol, the size of these furnaces will be doubled, and a few more will be built." ”
Yang Bo's guess was right, the current cylinder of the still is cast by Gan Xin with fine iron, Ma Daochang really asked Gan Xin to help before, Gan Xin touched the short beard of his chin, squinted his eyes and said: "If the size is doubled, the iron-making furnace on the side of Shaliu is afraid that it will not be enough, this cylinder needs to be formed at one time, and the furnace can't make so much molten iron at once." ”
Yang Bo smiled mysteriously and said, "That's why I took you on a journey." Yang Bo pointed to the downstream direction of Erdaogou and said, "Let's go over there and have a look." ”
Erdaogou originated at the foot of the West Mountain, turned a corner at the edge of the swamp in front, flowed behind the stone temple, the ditch was not very wide at this time, it was only three feet wide, someone had already put on the bluestone slab in the narrow place, the two crossed the Erdaogou from the bluestone slab, and came to a vacant land at the foot of the West Mountain.
Behind here is the steep stone wall at the eastern foot of the West Mountain, which can provide shelter, and in front of it is Erdaogou to provide enough water, the terrain is good, if possible in the future, you can build a road along Erdaogou, which leads directly to the wharf of Shenjiabao, and the traffic is also very convenient.
Yang Bo looked around, the light in his eyes flickered, the look between his eyebrows seemed extremely excited, and there seemed to be thousands of emotions in his heart.
"Brother Gan, we are going to build another iron-making furnace here, a big iron-making furnace."
