There were only two people in the courtyard, one of them was very strong, and was beating the iron with a hammer, while the other looked a little old, and was sitting on a chaise longue drinking tea and watching the strong man strike iron.

Lin Yuan turned his head to look at Li Qingqian who was standing beside him and asked, "Which one of these is the Master Xu Hailong Xu you are talking about?" ”

Li Qingqian's face turned red and said, "I don't know, I haven't seen it yet, I've just heard of it." ”

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "It's okay, you'll know when you go in." After comforting Li Qingqian, Lin Yuan reached out and knocked on the wooden door.

I only heard a voice from inside: "Come in, I've been standing at the door for some time." ”

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, and Li Qingqian glanced at each other and walked in together, Xu Hailong is forty out of fifty this year. Because he became famous early, there are not a few people in the rivers and lakes who know his name, but in the past few years, he has traveled the world and rarely made any more moves, and he has been in the capital for a while, except for a few old friends, few people disturb him.

Just after drinking tea and resting, he overheard movement outside the door, Xu Hailong didn't care, just waited for the two of them to come in by themselves. Seeing Lin Yuan and the two walking in, Xu Hailong was a little surprised, because he didn't know the two people in front of him.

Looking at the two of them with a frown, Xu Hailong opened his mouth and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Lin Yuan arched his hand and asked, "Dare to ask Xu Hailong if Master Xu is there?" After speaking, he glanced at the strong man who was striking iron.

Seeing that Lin Hai and the two didn't know him, Lin Yuan seemed to think that his eldest apprentice was Xu Hailong, and he couldn't help but be curious, which family didn't know that he dared to come to the door.

"I'm sorry, you admit that you are wrong, I am not the master, the one is." The strong man felt Lin Yuan's gaze. smiled and pointed at Xu Hailong to explain.

A little embarrassed glanced at the old man, it turned out that he recognized the wrong person, but looking at the figure of the person in front of him, he didn't look like an expert in iron? Lin Yuan glanced at Xu Hailong with some doubts.

This glance completely annoyed Xu Hailong, what kind of eyes are you? Are you questioning me? Seeing that Xu Hailong's face turned cold, Lin Yuan didn't have time to explain before he saw Xu Hailong start to take off his clothes. Looking at the scene in front of him with some astonishment, Lin Yuan was completely thundered, what kind of operation is this? Is it necessary to react so violently?

Lin Yuan hurriedly put Li Qingqian's eyes to the top, at this time Xu Hailong had already removed his shirt, leaking out a body of strong muscles, looking at the bronze skin, Lin Yuan frowned slightly.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Boy, what was the look in your eyes just now? Suspect I'm a fake? Xu Hailong snorted coldly.

"Leave this matter aside, can you put on your clothes, there are women here." As soon as Lin Yuan's words fell, Xu Hailong realized that he seemed to have forgotten that there was a woman in front of him, and he couldn't help but blush and hurriedly put on his shirt. Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, it seems that this person is still a face-saving person, he didn't brush the old scoundrel, and it seems that he can still be saved.

Seeing Xu Hailong put on his clothes, Lin Yuan let go of the hand covering Li Qingqian's eyes. The three of them looked at each other, and Xu Hailong asked first, "Who are you?" What's the matter with me? ”

"Naturally, I came to you to do something." Lin Yuan said.

Xu Hailong glanced at Lin Yuan and the two of them carefully, and suddenly frowned and said, "You guys go, I won't do it." ”

Lin Yuan looked at Xu Hailong with some astonishment, what is the situation, he just offended him? Seeing that Lin Yuan and the two of them were stunned and motionless, Xu Hailong frowned and said, "What? Am I not clear what I am talking about? Don't do it, leave! ”

"Please give me a reason, I don't understand such an unclear truth." Lin Yuan asked.

That knew that Xu Hailong looked directly at himself and said: "The calluses on your hands are found by holding weapons, it seems that the time is still relatively long, you are not short of weapons to practice your hands, and your family is also a family with a lot of money, and there is no shortage of weapons, and now you are bringing a girl here, obviously using me for entertainment, I will not do this kind of anointing children." ”

"Heh, I was accidentally classified as a potential gentleman in the capital, and my name is inexplicable, but I don't look for him to make things, is it so useful?" Lin Yuan thought speechlessly.

Li Qingqian on the side snorted and laughed. Looking at Li Qingqian, who was laughing out loud, with some confusion, Xu Hailong asked, "Did the old man say something wrong?" ”

Lin Yuan naturally knew what Li Qingqian was laughing at, glared at the other party, and then Lin Yuan turned his head to look at Xu Hailong and said, "I'm sorry, it's not me who is looking for you to make things, but this girl." ”

Glancing at Li Qingqian suspiciously, Xu Hailong knew that he had misunderstood, but what could this weak woman fight if she was looking for herself? Xu Hailong didn't think he could work as a goldsmith.

"Are you going to make jewelry? I know how to do this, but it's a bit coarse. Xu Hailong said suspiciously. Li Qingqian heard Xu Hailong say this, and hurriedly said, "No, I just want you to play a set of knives." ”

"Knives?" Xu Hailong was puzzled: "The girl is a person who practices martial arts?" ”

"She's talking about cooking." Lin Yuan said speechlessly.

Glaring at Lin Yuan, Xu Hailong didn't care about Lin Yuan, but turned to look at Li Qingqian and asked, "What style do you want, do you have other requirements?" My great apprentice can do this. As he spoke, he pointed to the land that was concentrating on iron.

Hearing the master mention himself, the strong man raised his head and smiled kindly and said, "Girl, you tell me what you want, I promise to make it beautiful." ”

"Shibayama, take a break." Xu Hailong said a word, and then looked at Li Qingqian. Li Qingqian was a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, he felt that he seemed to be too extravagant, why did he hold on to Master Xu Hailong with a set of knives. Thinking about this, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Hailong and said, "The style is like this." ”

Because of the ease of use, Li Qingqian thought about it, so he made a set of knives and copied the set of knives left by his father to copy a set. After taking Li Qingqian's drawings, Xu Hailong frowned a little after looking at it, and then looked at it carefully, and looked at Li Qingqian several times during the period.

"Girl, I would venture to ask, where did you get this drawing?" Xu Hailong looked at Li Qingqian and asked.

"I copied the knife at home, is there a problem? Or is it hard to do? Li Qingqian wondered.

"It's not that hard to do, but there are some things I need to figure out, that set of knives is your family heirloom?" Xu Hailong stared at Li Qingqian tightly, as if trying to figure out something.

"This set of knives was left to me by my father, and it should be a family heirloom." Li Qingqian said. And Lin Yuan on the side was also a little curious, the seat cover is just a knife, and it is not a murder, is it necessary to ask the three generations of the family?

"Is your surname Li, and your father's name is Levi?" Xu Hailong asked.

"Yes, you know my father?" Li Qingqian asked.

"Ahh Xu Hailong patted his thigh, looked at Li Qingqian with some excitement and said, "I am close friends with your father, do you say I know each other?" ”

"Best friend, don't you know Miss Li?" Lin Yuan mended the knife on the side.

Glaring at Lin Yuan, Li Qingqian turned to ask, "You mean that you made that knife?" ”

"Of course, it was your father's first fame in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I ate your father's dishes at that time, and I felt that he would definitely become a famous chef in the world, but as the saying goes, a good horse with a good saddle, I made that set of knives for your father at that time." Xu Hailong explained. Then he looked at Li Qingqian with some puzzlement and asked, "Lost that set of knives?" By the way, what about your dad? How did you come with such an unlucky child? ”

Li Qingqian said with a gloomy expression: "My father has passed away, but the knives have not been lost, I am planning to travel and need a new set of knives, so I found you here." ”

Xu Hailong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "It's the old man, it's wrong, let's mourn and change." After comforting Li Qingqian, Xu Hailong then looked at his eldest apprentice and said: "It's really good to see if you can become a master in your craft, you can make this set of knives, and if you can't do it, you will continue to iron me." ”

Xu Zhishan nodded and returned to the stove to start striking iron, Xu Hailong said: "Niece Xian, this thing is estimated to take a day or two to make, you can just come and go, and I will give you a gift." ”

"How is this good?" Li Qingqian hurriedly said.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. If you don't want to, just give my old man a meal. Xu Hailong said.

Li Qingqian thought for a while and said, "Okay, you have to be willing to come to Luoxian Tower at any time, as long as I am here, I will do it for you, no matter when." ”

Lin Yuan on the side almost couldn't help but strangle this shameless old man to death, eat white food and eat this, why don't you want money, I think you are gluttonous. Originally, one meal was enough, but who knew that Li Qingqian gave Zhang a long-term meal ticket. Do you know the price of a meal cooked in Li Qingqian's capital now? I was embarrassed to open my mouth without a thousand taels, and I finally let Qingqian rest, you have to go to work every day.

The two didn't notice the change in Lin Yuan's expression, and started chatting about some homely things there, Lin Yuan sounded a little bored, so he turned to look at Xu Zhishan striking iron.

I saw Xu Zhishan pour the molten iron that had been melted into a piece of pig iron, and after a while it became a paste, seeing that Lin Yuan was already stunned here, this familiar process, he looked at Xu Zhishan's next action in disbelief, only to see that the piece of iron that had become slightly softer was clamped out and put on the workbench to hit repeatedly, and from time to time it was folded up and forged again. This is clearly the practice of 100 steelmaking.

At present, Da Zhou is still dominated by iron weapons, and there are some steel, but the output is extremely low, almost negligible. The scene in front of him really opened Lin Yuan's eyes, he really didn't expect Xu Zhishan to have a way to raise the temperature so much, no wonder he could feel a trace of warm temperature just outside the door.

Although he was chatting with Li Qingqian, Xu Hailong had been paying attention to Lin Yuan's dynamics, and when he saw Lin Yuan looking at Xu Zhishan's iron in a daze, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he secretly said in his heart: "Let your kid squeeze me, scared." ”
