Chen Xian's shop, the front and back of the main house are workshops, a row of wings on the south side, half of which has been opened up as classrooms, the other half is Chen Xian's living room, his living room is also in the south wing, and the north side is where the teenagers' dormitory and kitchen and dining room are located.

A moment later, Wang Qi walked into the living room with a strong old man. The old man's arms were thick, his hands were thick, and his dark face was full of ravines.

Chen Xian got up to greet him and invited the other party to take a seat.

After sitting down, Bai Anfu arched his hand and said, "Old man Bai Anfu, Brother Chen must recognize it." ”

Chen Xian arched his hand and said, "Long admiration." ”

Bai Anfu said: "My family Bai Yuan heard that Chen Xiaoge played a good knife, the Tang knife with broken hair, sold to the hands of the Dajin nobles, worth fifty or sixty times, but the Yang family only gave Chen Xiaoge only five times, my family is very unhappy for the little brother, if the little brother sells the knife to our Bai family, the staff is willing to give ten times, I don't know what the little brother wants?" ”

Chen Xianwei was embarrassed: "The apprentices in my shop are all from the Yang family, and how many Tang knives are produced, the Yang family members are clear, and I really don't have any extra knives to sell to Bai Yuanwai." ”

Hearing Chen Xian's refusal, Bai Anfu's face sank, and he said coldly: "Brother Yang is afraid of Yang Yuanwai, aren't you afraid of my Bai family?" ”

When Chen Xian heard this, he secretly scolded a mallet, saying that the apprentices were all from the Yang family, which was actually hinting at the other party.

If this Bai Anfu was smarter, he should be able to think that he could take advantage of the Bai family's power to stuff his own children into the Chen family's shop to learn the peerless knife forging technique.

Once Bai Anfu has selfishness, then everything will be easy, and he will naturally go back to say good things for Chen Xian.

Once a person's buttocks sit crookedly, the head will also fall crooked.

It's just that I didn't expect this Bai Anfu to not even understand such an obvious hint.

Seeing that the other party didn't understand, Chen Xian could only make it clear: "It's not impossible to sell knives to Bai Yuanwai, but you can't reduce Yang Yuanwai's share, if it is less, Yang Yuanwai is persecuted, and a certain person will not be able to stay in this East Zhuangzi, so naturally there will be no knife to sell to Bai Yuanwai, if the Bai shopkeeper can arrange a few apprentices to a certain one, the Tang knife made by these apprentices will naturally be sold to Bai Yuanwai." ”

Chen Xian said this, Bai Anfu finally understood, he was slightly stunned, silent for a moment, and the threatening look on his face quickly faded.

After thinking for a while, the old man said with some embarrassment, "But...... Bai Yuanwai means that he wants Brother Chen to sell all the Tang knives to the Bai family......"

Chen Xian smiled bitterly and said: "If the white staff is so persecuted, then Chen can only beg to be a craftsman in the private shop of the Yang family's military village." ”

When Bai Anfu heard this, his face changed slightly.

This Bai Anfu is obviously not a decisive person, and he dealt with Chen Xiandong for a while, and then left absent-mindedly.

Chen Xianmu sent Bai Anfu absentmindedly to leave with his hands behind his back, smiled slightly, turned around and returned to the guest room, called a passing apprentice, and asked him to call Yang Xiaoyi.

Yang Xiaoyi's father and the three were all blacksmiths in the blacksmith workshop in the Yang family's military village.

At this time, his father was the head of the Yang family's blacksmith workshop, and he himself was the undercover leader sent by the Yang family to steal the craftsmanship of the Chen family's shop.

Yang Xiaoyi is the eldest in the family's generation, so he is called Xiaoyi, Yitongyi, Yang Xiaoyi is actually Yang Xiaoyi.

After a while, Yang Xiaoyi came to the door of the guest room and asked, "Master, you called me?" ”

Chen Xian put down the tea bowl, walked out of the guest room, beckoned to Yang Xiaoyi, and said, "Follow me." ”

He took Yang Xiaoyi to a small door in the corner of the workshop on the east side of the courtyard, pushed open the door and beckoned Yang Xiaoyi to follow.

When Yang Xiaoyi looked at this door, his face showed a look of surprise, and he didn't dare to follow.

This small room in the corner of the workshop is forbidden in the Chen family's shop, because this is the place where Chen Xian quenched the knife for the last time.

Seeing that Yang Xiaoyi didn't dare to follow, Chen Xian smiled and said, "It's okay, will the teacher still eat you?" ”

Chen Xian said this, and Yang Xiaoyi had no choice but to follow.

Walking into the quenching room, Chen Xian took down an annealed and preliminarily polished knife blank from the knife holder, walked to the special shelf, sat down cross-legged, put the knife holder on the knife holder, took out a saucer from the cabinet next to him, and took out a wooden box from another locked cabinet, poured the powder in the wooden box into the dish, and then poured an appropriate amount of water, and stirred gently.

After adjusting the covering mortar, Chen Xian picked up a small piece of wood, picked up the mortar, and carefully smeared it on the blade.

While smearing, he said: "You just look, don't ask, after reading it, tell the Yang family what you saw, and say that you stole it." ”

Yang Xiaoyi was a little at a loss, and subconsciously asked, "Why?" ”

Chen Xian said with a smile: "I can open a shop in this East Zhuangzi, it all depends on Yang Yuanwai's face, I have to give people some benefits, right?" ”

"The soil covering and quenching method, even if others know about it, they still can't make a Tang knife, but if it can be used in ordinary forging techniques, it can improve the quality of the blade, you can tell your father."

"By the way, when you go to Yang's house to report, don't forget to tell them that Bai Anfu came to look for me."

……

Just when Chen Xian demonstrated the clay quenching technique to Yang Xiaoyi, Yang Yuanwai was in the blacksmith workshop in the Yang family's military village with frost and reprimanded a group of blacksmiths, "What a bunch of waste, in the past three months, you have wasted how much good steel I have, and as a result, I have been beating back and forth, not to mention Tang knives, even ordinary steel knives can't be beaten!" You say, 'What is the use of me keeping you?' ”

There were seven or eight blacksmiths kneeling in the shop, and they didn't dare to lift their heads when they lay on the ground, and they were sweating profusely from being scolded.

In this East Zhuangzi, the Yang and Bai families are the kings, don't look at Yang Yuanwai is quite amiable to Chen Xian, but for these blacksmiths, it is the existence that can ruin their families by turning their hands, and it is no wonder that the blacksmiths are afraid of them.

After reprimanding the craftsman, Yang Yuanwai left the shop angrily, and left the military village in the congratulatory send-off of a group of stewards Zhuang Ding.

Steward Yang followed closely behind Yang Yuanwai, who was walking quickly, his eyes were rolling around, and after a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth, took two steps forward, walked to Yang Yuanwai's side, and said in a low voice: "Grandfather, that Chen Er doesn't know what to do, and he has a great secret, I don't think it's as good as someone to bring him and serve him with great punishment, I'm not afraid that he won't tell the truth." ”

To tell the truth, Steward Yang's idea was very contrary to his will, in the past few months, he had withdrawn a consistent amount of money from Chen Xian for each knife, and he was already greedy, and he couldn't wait for this business to continue like this.

But Steward Yang understands better that his status comes from the trust of Yang Yuanwai, compared to Yang Yuanwai's trust, any money is empty, once he loses the trust of the outside, how much family wealth is just someone else's wedding clothes.

The housekeeper who knew Yang Yuanwai very well had already seen that the huge profits had made Yang Yuanwai lose patience with Chen Er, and it was not so much that he was making ideas, but that he was saying things that Yang Yuanwai did not want to say.

Listening to the housekeeper's words, Yang Yuanwai's footsteps slowed down, he was silent for a while, and said lightly: "If only you had said this earlier." ”

I worked an all-night shift, and today I am in a very bad state, and a chapter has been written and rewritten, and I am always dissatisfied, and I have only done it until now, sorry
