Hahaha! There was a loud laugh of disdain in the dimly lit room.

"Improving the drill bit?" This sloppy old man's face is full of cold color, he thinks that Xiao Chuan has some involvement in this cast iron, thinks that he is not an ordinary kind of reader with industrious limbs, but to improve this drill bit technology, Rao is he has been invading this skill for decades, the leading craftsman in the entire Qingcheng, pondering for half a month without a clue, let him believe that Xiao Chuan such a scholar can help him improve the technology at a glance, he is full of disbelief in his heart, and the good feeling for Xiao Chuan in his heart has disappeared, only thinking that he is arrogant and ignorant, I just saw that the chip problem was only due to him, and said: "You scholar, don't talk nonsense, the old man has been studying for half a month, and he has no clue for a day, you kid actually said that he can help me complete it, hmph, is it to make me happy?"

The people in his row of seven disciples were also angry, and they all thought that Xiao Chuan was bragging.

The handsome blacksmith at the head glanced at Xiao Chuan and said, "Are you scholars so arrogant and arrogant, don't think that you know a drill bit and it's great, improving technology is not something you can do casually fantasizing about like dancing and ink." ”

Han Gang and the others didn't understand, they only thought that if Xiaochuan said that it could be improved, it must be able to be improved, and after listening to their ridicule, they were all angry.

Only Huang Chunsheng was a little sensible, touched the sweat on his head, and complained a little in his heart, why did the lord suddenly say this, improving a technology can be changed by saying that it can be changed, there was originally a glimmer of hope for recruitment, and now the lord is not offending everyone by talking nonsense, how can this be good.

The corners of Xiao Chuan's mouth twitched, and he smiled: "Why don't we make a bet?" ”

"Bet?" What are you going to bet on? The sloppy man said, with a strange look in his eyes.

"I'll help you improve this drill bit, if I succeed in improving it, you go with me to my hundred households, and these apprentices of yours, if you can't improve it, I'll give you a thousand taels of silver, how" Xiao Chuan said calmly, a thousand taels of silver is a lot, it seems that this bet Xiao Chuan loses a lot, but even if it is 10,000 taels, it doesn't matter, because Xiao Chuan is ten percent sure of improving this drill bit.

"Oh, you're from the guard?" The sloppy old man frowned, his expression was a little unsightly, and the disciples behind him all changed their faces, obviously looking much more indifferent.

"What's wrong, what about the guard?" Xiao Chuan looked at the old man a little strangely, he seemed to have a lot of opinions about the people in the guards, just like the original blacksmiths, and said: "I am a new Baihu, I don't know much about this place, why don't the blacksmiths here seem to want to go to the guard?" ”

"Hey, it turns out that you are a newcomer to the hundred households" The old man said: "You don't know, the original blacksmiths here are all needed to build some iron, although there will be deductions, but not too much, Zhou Zheng's creation, our craftsman's class silver can be deducted ten of the **, and that guy is insatiable, even if it is the end time after you go, he may not let you go, let you build weapons for him, and the end is insatiable." ”

I see, Xiao Chuan understood, looking at the sloppy man in front of him, Xiao Chuan solemnly promised: "I can swear that you went to my 100 households, and you will pay a fixed amount of money every month, as well as other subsidies." He promised again, and his apprentices were a little moved, but there was a trace of entanglement in their eyes, obviously they might have been used by Zhou Zheng with this trick.

A trace of strangeness flashed in the sloppy man's eyes, obviously he didn't believe Xiao Chuan's words, even if Xiao Chuan didn't fix them, then Zhou Zheng, who knows if he would be rectified, he was obviously unwilling to go, but he still had to earn a thousand taels of silver to bet with Xiao Chuan, which was enough money to earn as a blacksmith for decades, and said: "Childe, that agreement is really a thousand taels"

"Come, Huang Chunsheng, prepare pen and ink" Seeing that he thought he was joking, Xiao Chuan waved his hand, and Huang Chunsheng immediately showed bitterness, of course he didn't believe that Xiao Chuan, a scholar, could improve a difficult problem that had stumped this kind of senior blacksmith for a long time, a thousand taels of silver, what did the lord think, but Xiao Chuan's order he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to prepare pen and ink with a bitter face.

The sloppy man's face was immediately overjoyed, and he said in his heart This boy is really a fool, hehe, it seems that he only knows a little bit about the blacksmith's technology, and he doesn't know the height of the sky, hehe, it just so happens that this arrogant kid is about to bring himself a harvest of 1,000 taels of silver, and this drill improvement is estimated that even the blacksmith of the Shenji Battalion in the capital will not be able to complete it in a while, how can this kid be able to complete it at a glance.

His sons were all ecstatic, originally thought that their father was about to uncover the pot when he got this drill, who knew that there was a fool who thought he could improve the drill, hehe, he could earn a thousand taels of silver now, they were all eager, looking at Xiaochuan's eyes like looking at a Kaizi.

Huang Chunsheng didn't know where to get the pen and paper, his face was full of complaints, and said, "Childe, this thing is not easy to improve, you!" It's so young" His eyes were full of disappointment and distress, after all, he was in charge of money.

The sloppy man hurriedly said: "This problem is not difficult, it is not difficult, maybe the son will figure it out at a glance, last time there was a show talent who helped me solve a problem" He added fire to the side, for fear that Huang Chunsheng would move this stupid boy, so he flickered beside him, and quickly signed his name on the gambling contract, and his sons signed one faster than one another, for fear that the signing would be slow, and Xiaochuan regretted it.

The beautiful blacksmith didn't think of others as greedy, his mind kept clear, he felt that since this son understood the defects of the twist drill, he should not be a person who didn't understand the difficulty of improving the drill bit, looking at Xiao Chuanyun's light appearance, he was a little scared, looked at the treaty, frowned, and said: "Childe, what you said above If you win and we don't fulfill the agreement, is it too much to compensate one thousand taels in a month, can you change some?"

"Go, change what, this is an adult's business, don't intervene" The sloppy blacksmith also frowned and said, didn't this kid pay back Lao Tzu just now and didn't make money himself, here is a Kaizi, you can pit him for money, why is this guy still stupid and talkative, the other disciples all looked at the Qingxiu blacksmith with an angry face, and the Qingxiu blacksmith also looked helpless, and his heart became more and more uneasy.

The sloppy blacksmith signed his name on the paper, Cheng Mo, the name is very literary, but it looks like a big and three thick face.

As if he had already gotten the silver, Cheng Mo smirked, made room for Na Xiaochuan, and said, "Come on, son, come, according to the agreement, three days, do you want to study it first." ”

His apprentices and sons all took out all kinds of tools, and one of them prepared a towel, with an eager face, and they were even more attentive than the Cheng Mo just now.

Xiao Chuan took out a pen and paper in the disdain of the blacksmiths, and drew on the paper, along with the three-pointed and seven-edged drill on the paper.

"Childe, don't you even look at it, just draw your improved drill bit" Cheng Mo's eyes were strange, did this boy really think that he was a star in the sky?

Looking at the crooked lines drawn by Xiaochuan on the paper, Cheng touched his lips, this painting is not good, and he rarely talks about this kind of drawing at a glance.

After Na Xiaochuan's drill bit was drawn, Cheng Mo's expression changed from disdain to strange, from strange to affirmative, to surprised, to shocked.

Cheng Mo's mouth was wide open, he could stuff an egg, his eyes widened, looking at the unneat pattern on this drawing, although he hadn't really tried this drill, but he remembered for many years, as soon as this thing was drawn, the situation of this drill bit drilling appeared in his mind, and he exclaimed: "Artifact, artifact, such a three-pointed and seven-edged weapon, not only increases the strength of the drill, but also cleverly links the drill bit and the groove, a fetish, a fetish" He was full of amazement.

Xiao Chuan pursed his lips and looked at the joke, this was researched by one of those eighth-level fitters who opened after the founding of the People's Republic of China, how can you mortal craftsmen be able to understand it.

The disciples couldn't see anything because they didn't have a physical object, but from the shocked expression of their master, it could be seen that they were all looking at Xiaochuan like a monster, just such an ordinary scholar, who solved this kind of problem that plagued his master, no, the entire Ming Dynasty. They all had a dream-like feeling, this Nima is the reincarnation of Lu Ban, Lu Ban is not so powerful, he was really solved.

The beautiful blacksmith didn't believe it, walked to the drawing, looked at it, and then he seemed to be enchanted, staring at the somewhat graffiti-like drawings motionlessly, and muttered: "Divine object, Gongzi is really the reincarnation of Luban Gong."

Han Gang in the distance looked proud, worthy of being his father-in-law, hehe. Huang Chunsheng's face is more solemn, he has seen some of the world, understands the difficulty of this kind of technical improvement, and it has really improved, first the soap last time, and then the drill bit this time, the lord is not the stars in the sky, he is such a young boy, first trained the invincible strong army, and then there is soap, which is a decontamination artifact, and this time it can improve the problem that plagues this professional blacksmith, son, where are you sacred!

The old blacksmith immediately trembled, there was no longer the kind of banter in his eyes just now, it was all respect, this old blacksmith reminded Xiaochuan of those military masters, they are also like this, whoever has the technology to serve whom, no technology is to look at you coldly, no one looks at you squarely, even let you fight coldly, but if you convince them, it is okay to call you brothers, this is a certain indescribable spirit handed down by craftsmen who have been inherited in China for thousands of years.

The old man immediately smiled bitterly, willing to lose the bet, and the contract of Xiaochuan was signed, if he regretted that the other party sued the official, he would have no choice, and he was really convinced by Xiaochuan's technology and sighed: "The old man has eyes and no beads, I don't know that Gongzi is a craftsman in the sky, Gongzi is not strange, they are my four unsuccessful sons, and my three apprentices." Saying that, he introduced Xiaochuan to four sons, Cheng Youcai, Cheng Youde, Cheng Youyi, Cheng Lili, and three lands, Wang Fang, Zhou Ping, and Li Shan.

Among these individuals, only the eldest son Cheng is powerful and cheerful, and the others have a common problem of being a mechanical person, silent.

This Cheng Mo apprentice all looked like they were parting from life and death, as if following Xiao Chuan back to the fortress was a matter of nine deaths, they believed that Xiao Chuan would not abuse them, they were afraid of Zhou Zheng, after they went, a thousand households gave an order, they couldn't run away, Xiao Chuan repeatedly promised that Zhou Zheng couldn't control him, but these people didn't believe it.

"My lord is the one who annihilated the Black Mountain thieves in the field, and behind him is the county commander Yu Dongyang, how can he be afraid of that Zhou Zheng, a small thousand households" Han Gang sneered on the side and said nonsense.

The blacksmiths all believed his lies when they heard it, and they were all relieved, they didn't know how the intricate relationship of the Zhou family could be compared to Yu Dongyang, they only knew that in this noble and lowly Ming Dynasty, Xiao Chuan had a county order behind him, that is, there was a county order behind them, and they heard that Xiao Chuan was the one who defeated the Black Mountain thief in rumor, they were even more surprised, not only did the blacksmith attainment be so high, but he was also a martial artist, and he was more at ease in his heart, following such a strong man, he would definitely not suffer in the future.

That Cheng Mo's eyes were about to pop out, and he muttered: "My God, this son is not only a craftsman, but also the reincarnation of Lu Bu" Now I feel that with such a strong man, he will definitely get ahead in the future, how could this Ming Dynasty produce such a perfect strongman.
