Chapter 188: Hospitable Huairen County
What the soap class said is no different from the people who come to the fast class, it is nothing more than to get rid of yourself, and by the way, you can see the attitude you want to express from the weight of the gifts.
The gifts sent twice were quite numerous, but they were not valuable, they were nothing more than everyday items for eating, but they seemed to be the meaning of walking around a relative's house.
After these two groups of people left, the front of the door was much cleaner, whether it was in front or behind, but there were idlers looking from afar, but they didn't even dare to enter the streets within the courtyard, just looked at a few times, in case they were targeted by the family, they quickly nodded and retreated.
When the sky was brighter, there was still a look at the servants of the family, but they didn't dare to get close, and they left after a few glances, which made the family nervous, not nervous.
"Four family members with a big car and a handlebar, go to the street to buy food and vegetables, Wang Jing, you change your clothes and follow behind, if there is anything wrong, come back to report the news." Zhu Da didn't plan to be trapped in this courtyard, and quickly made arrangements.
In addition to the money and utensils for buying vegetables and food, this cart also carried more than a dozen throwing guns, and the knives and guns of the family members were also placed on it.
"You don't have any martial arts skills, and you don't have the ability to fight, it's nothing more than killing a few people with a throwing gun, you've seen life and death and blood, you know how to do it, you're bolder, don't think you're good, if the enemy comes up, throw a short spear first, and then retreat, this is not a shame." Before leaving, Zhu Da said a few words, and he said it in a loud voice, not only to these people who came to the door, but also to other people.
After returning from Zheng Jiaji, it is equivalent to fighting all the way into the city, never softened, the self-confidence of the family has been a little arrogant, in fact, they have not participated in too many battles, as for the bloody fighting experience, everyone can not talk about martial arts, this is pure appearance, if you can't recognize it, when you encounter Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun's absence, it is easy to suffer a big loss.
Hearing Zhu Da's words, the family members all had a look of stupidity and unconvincing on their faces, and they must have felt disappointed, but if they can think like this, the danger is always a little smaller.
Moved the threshold to let the cart out, and before he turned out of the courtyard wall, he heard a noise, and everyone in the courtyard was a little nervous.
"What are you doing blocking the road, these two wheelbarrows are stuck here, who can get through!"
"Don't be angry, the trumpet is also in a hurry to deliver the goods, Master Zhu has given enough silver, the trumpet has not been delivered, this is a smashing signboard, yesterday the trumpet was busy up and down for a day and a night, and it was done, and it was sent in a hurry, and it was more inclusive."
Hearing this conversation, everyone was relieved, Zhu Da smiled and shook his head, he could already guess who it was, after a while, the two wheelbarrows had arrived in front of the door, the cars were loaded with processed short spears, and the person who led the team was also full of smiles, but it was the blacksmith surnamed Zhang yesterday.
As soon as the blacksmith surnamed Zhang entered the door, he saw Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, and hurriedly clenched his fists, and made a full courtesy, and said apologetically: "The trumpet is in a hurry to rush out forty percent of the goods, I am afraid that Master Zhu will be in a hurry to use it, so I will send a batch first." ”
Zhu Da couldn't help but joke and said: "Everything that needs to be done has been done, you sent a batch, do you think we still have something to do?" ”
When he said this, the blacksmith's face turned white, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, Zhu Da said with a smile: "Just unload the goods, can you also build a sword and spear?" ”
"Yes, yes, the trumpet delayed Master Zhu's business, my father, no, our shopkeeper means to return the silver to Master Zhu first, and then put wine to make amends in the future, Master Zhu, you see ......" Blacksmith Zhang spoke and took out a few ingots of silver from yesterday's pocket as he spoke.
Zhu Da waved his hand and smiled and said: "It's a matter of course to buy goods and give money, you haven't delayed anything, don't be so careful, there are still many things to do for you in the future, if you don't give money this time, will it be possible that you won't accept it in the future?" ”
Blacksmith Zhang has been staring at Zhu Da quite rudely, not to look at the appearance of this young master, but to judge whether what he said is true or false, and see if he can draw conclusions from his expression, Zhu Da did not have the slightest intention, it was natural and sincere.
At this point, I was afraid that it would be troublesome to give the silver again, so the blacksmith put the silver back in his pocket and instructed the men to unload the spears from the cart.
"What do you call this master?" Zhu Da asked casually.
After he asked this sentence, Zhou Qingyun and Li He both looked at it in confusion, but they didn't make a sound, Zhu Da always attaches great importance to craftsmen and craftsmen, and likes to shout "master", if he didn't call it that, Hebian New Village and Baibao Village didn't have this saying at all, but Zhu Da can call the shots, and everyone will call it that.
The blacksmith didn't expect Zhu Da to be calling him at all, and he was stunned for a moment before he realized this title, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Master Zhu killed the small one, how can he afford it, how can he afford it, shouting the small sledgehammer is, Zhang Da Hammer." ”
"Is this a nickname?"
"It's not a nickname, that's what my dad named ......" Zhang Dazhui replied with a smile, thinking that this question was not asked by Zhu Da alone.
Zhu Da smiled and nodded, but did not change his words, and said again: "Master Zhang, I still want to buy thirty spears, the spear shaft is thirteen feet, it is a large ruler, the spear head and spear blade are one and a half feet, there must be an iron sleeve or iron bar to protect the spear shaft for two to three feet, you need good iron materials, you want a good pole, you can't fight it, can you make it?" ”
was called by Zhu Da to be Master Zhang, the sledgehammer's unconscious waist was straightened, and his expression was a little serious, but after listening to it, he subconsciously said: "This is too much material...... But it can be built. The second half of the sentence came back.
"Do it with your heart, and when it's done, I'll add three taels of hard-earned money according to your public price." Zhu Da said with a smile.
There is a profit in the public price, and if you add three or two, the business will make more money, and the account can be easily calculated, and the flattery on Zhang Dazhui's face is gone, and it has become the kind of flattery in business, and anyone likes this kind of big patron who is willing to give more money and is willing to give more.
"Please rest assured, Master Zhu, when the time comes, please take a look at it, if the master has anything you want, just come to find the trumpet, the Zhangjia blacksmith shop has been doing it for almost sixty years, and the surrounding counties know about this craft."
Here Zhang Sledgehammer left happily, Zhu Da also had a smile on his face, Li He beckoned people to send the short spears to all parts of the house, to ensure that the family on duty could catch the short spears at any time, and a batch was also stored in the library.
"Do you know why I'm so polite to the blacksmith?" Juda asked suddenly.
Li He, who was arranging, was stunned for a moment, turned around and said, "Big brother, you want to convince people's hearts, or you want this blacksmith shop to do things for us in the future." ”
"You're right, but there's another point, this blacksmith shop is a place where craftsmen from all over the city gather, and if you have this place, you can use all the craftsmen in the city, which is a big deal for us," Judah replied.
Li He nodded, but it could be seen from his expression that he was still ignorant, and he didn't know what it meant to be a good craftsman, and Zhu Da didn't continue to explain.
The truth of this blacksmith shop gathering craftsmen from all over the city is not Zhu Da himself figured out, but Yuan Biao's teaching, the old man said very simply, what you want to do and repair what you don't know where to look, then go to the local blacksmith shop, you can find anything.
Because striking iron is profitable and necessary for all parties, ironmaking requires the supporting facilities provided by carpenters and leather craftsmen, such as handles and scabbards for making weapons, but Zhu Da's views on craftsmanship are different, and this is not enough to be humane to outsiders.
"Big brother, are we going to stay in this city for a long time in the future?" After arranging, Li He turned around again, but raised this question.
"If you want to stay for a long time, it is not safe to say that the city is not safe now, it is an accident that the Tartars are killed, but there are a lot of horse thieves and strongmen, the Zheng family is ruined, there is no place outside that can be sheltered, and if you want to have a peaceful life, you can only be in the city."
"Then we have to do some business, I'm afraid it won't be possible to buy low and sell high, what to do next, we can't stay up like this." Li He looked at Zhu Da and said, he found that Zhu Da did not respond, and hurriedly added: "Now that I have a lot of money in my hand, these people can sustain it now, or buy some land outside the city, so that it can last for a long time." ”
Zhu Da didn't answer for a while, and was silent for a moment before he said: "The fields are not in a hurry, the fields of Zhengjiaji, Hebian New Village and Baibao Village are all ours. ”
Some of these questions were not answered, but Li Heneng felt that Zhu Da's mood was not quite right, so he did not continue to speak.
It didn't take long for the team sent out to buy back, no one was looking for trouble, everything went well, a large cart of grain and non-staple food was piled up, and now this house is already a little crowded, although under Li He's dispatch, the materials are stacked neatly, but it is still too much for this house, although it can't support it for many days.
I got the cart into the yard, and there were visitors outside, but this time it was Huang Duo, the head of the Zhuang class, who was followed by two people, and the gift was pushed over with a wheelbarrow.
The soap class and the fast class have sent people to come, but the people who come are ordinary errand soldiers, but this strong class is directly the head of the team, after asking the handlebar type, I also know that this team head is a regular job, although the status is higher than the previous two sides, but the value of the gift is about the same, and it looks ordinary.
The attitude of the family members is not very good, the thieves outside the city encountered, the thieves are the instructions of Yang Shouwen of the Zhuang class, everyone knows that the deputy team leader is such a bastard, what can he do, maybe it is the command.
The yellow squad leader was frank, but the two strong squad officials who followed him trembled, and there was no blood on their faces, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, the yellow squad leader raised his voice and said: "That is the son of the Zhu family?" ”
As soon as he agreed, Huang Bantou clasped his fists, his attitude was no different from that of the blacksmith in Fangcai, and before Zhu Da could greet him, he saw Chang Kai leading a person to look outside the door.
Seeing this, Zhu Da couldn't help but smile again, and said with a smile while stepping forward to greet him: "The people in the county are really hospitable!" ”
