For example, when the iron shop needs to build a large number of farm tools, it means that the surrounding area of Suining Town is in a busy agricultural stage, with cheap grain and increased meat prices.

When the iron shop needs to create various fishing and hunting tools, it means that Suining is in the season of hunting and fishing. The prices of fresh vegetables and fruits in the mountains and wild games have decreased, the prices of grain are stable, and the prices of meat are cheap.

When the blacksmith needs to craft all kinds of weapons, there are three situations:

The first situation is that the official martial arts academy of Yunxia Kingdom enrolls students, generally in August and September. The second situation is that there is a beast tide around Suining, and the major villages are preparing for hunting. The third situation is that there are soldiers and bandits in the vicinity of Suining, and more major villages are under martial law to deal with various emergencies.

Of course, the three major villages have their own craftsmen's equipment rooms, and they generally do not go to the town to order tools and weapons.

A small part of the 18 villages also have their own blacksmith shops.

In the rest of the villages where there is no blacksmith shop, when you need weapons and tools, you can generally only buy them at the blacksmith shop in Sansanzhuang or Suining Town. It's just that the price of weapons and tools sold in the three villages is higher, and the quantity is limited, and most of the time people still go to the iron shop in Suining Town to order and buy.

Due to the great demand for weapons and tools in Suining Town, the scale of the iron shop in the town is not small. Rather than calling it an iron shop, it would be better to call it an "iron mill", after all, it completes all the processes from smelting iron to buying and selling weapons and tools. In other iron shops, there are three or two houses in a storefront, but it is a storefront, a dozen large houses, and a craftsman with twenty or thirty apprentices.

This craftsman's surname is Mo, his name is Yu, and he is known as "Master of Fishing". Instead of calling him a craftsman, it would be more appropriate to call him a boss. His management ability is okay, but as for iron kung fu, he is so-so, mediocre, and even inferior to his apprentices.

The craftsman is officially certified by the Instrument Alliance, and the craftsman is generally divided into nine stars, one star for the entry, and nine stars for the god craftsman. In terms of craftsmanship, Mo Yu can be a beginner, he spent money to make points, and only then did he become an officially certified one-star craftsman. The four major organizations of the Instrument Alliance, the Martial Alliance, the Dan Alliance, the Shang Alliance, and the Tianyuan Continent control most of the resources of the entire continent, and their power is huge and immeasurable. For detailed information, we will introduce it below, so I won't talk about it here for the time being.

With the title of craftsman, you can open an iron shop of this scale in Yunxia, otherwise it will be illegal and overstepping. Among the more than 30 apprentices under Mo Yu, there are three uncertified one-star craftsmen, but because they have no way, they have to hang the name of apprentices and work for Mo Yu. The vast majority of the remaining apprentices were the apprentices of the three one-star craftsmen.

In addition, the craftsman certification needs to go to the official designated place of the Instrument League, that is, the branch of the Instrument League, which is generally located in the county seat. The county-level Instrument League branch can only certify one-star and two-star craftsmen, and the county-level Instrument League branch can certify one-to-four-star craftsman. The provincial-level Instrument League branch can certify craftsmen under one to five stars, and the Yunjing Instrument League branch can certify craftsmen from one to six stars. And to certify a craftsman above six stars, you need to go to the headquarters of the Instrument Alliance.

Zhang Teng came to the street where the iron shop was located, and through the surging crowd, he saw the "Mohs Iron Shop" lacquer-bottom bronzing signboard from a distance.

There were so many people on the street that Zhang Teng could only move with the crowd in small steps, and it took a lot of effort to come to Mohs Iron Shop.

There are several horse-drawn carriages pulling goods parked in front of the Mo's iron shop, the façade is about five or six zhang wide, more than one zhang high, the ground is paved with black stone slabs that are as hard as iron, and they are cleaned very cleanly, unlike the small iron shops in some villages in Suining, and the surroundings are dirty and black dust. The overall decoration is spacious, bright and spacious, and there are neatly placed shelves inside, and the shelves are full of regular models and products of different sizes. It can be described as varied and dazzling. Like hoes, axes, shovels, hammers, saws, sharpeners, knives, guns, halberds, etc., there are everything, basically including most of the iron tools used by people in their daily lives.

Zhang Teng walked into the iron shop, the shop was overcrowded, several clerks were enthusiastically greeting customers, and the fat-headed, big-eared, bloated boss Mo Yu Mo commanded five or six men, carrying boxes of weapons such as knives, guns, swords, halberds, etc., to the carriage outside the door.

I saw Mo Yu with a straight face, one hand crossed his waist, and the other hand held the account book and urged the guys in front of him: "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, it must be sent to Chen Village before dark today, and people are waiting to use it! You, and you, be quick with your hands and feet, be careful, don't drop the box again, fall apart and deduct your two wages!"

Two of the guys who moved the box nodded and hurriedly replied, "The little one knows, he won't drop the box." ”

Mo Yu snorted coldly: "It's good to know, hurry up, move quickly, don't delay time! Hurry up, don't talk nonsense, grind!"

A guy resignedly said, "Okay, Master Mo, the small one is moving." ”

The other guy was silent, carrying the box and walking out. After putting the box in the carriage, he muttered in a low voice, "I see you are talking nonsense." ”

The submissive guy from before listened, looked up at Mo Yu, and saw that Mo Yu's face was a little wrong, and he was looking at them. He hurriedly said to the muttering buddy: "Hey, pay attention, the boss has a good ear." ”

The muttering fellow nodded, stopped talking, and went back to his work in the blacksmith.

Seeing that the two of them were honest, Mo Yu snorted coldly, and continued to shout to the rest of the guys: "Speed up, there are still things behind! Things must be loaded, don't fall down! The rope is also tied tightly, the road over there is not easy to walk, if you loosen it, maybe it will fall down halfway, and there will be fewer things, and half of your salary will be deducted this month!"

Zhang Teng, who was on the side, saw this scene a little familiar, couldn't help but shake his head, smiled and shook his fist at Mo Yu, and said, "Master Mo, you're busy." Your business is booming today. ”

"Yo, Brother Zhang, where is it, my business has always been so-so, and now I'm just a little busier than usual. When Mo Yu saw Zhang Teng, he immediately changed his smiling face, and also gave him a return salute with a slight fist.

"There are so many weapons, are there so many people in Chen Village who learn martial arts? Zhang Teng looked at the several carts of weapons outside the door and said with a smile.

Mo Yu waved his hand and said, "Hey, how can you make any money, there is not much profit in this business today." There is some unrest in Chen Village, the villagers and neighbors need these weapons, I am half selling and half giving away, to be a favor. “

You must know that Mo Mingming is a craftsman, but he is actually a businessman. Merchants' profits, half selling and half giving away? This is not like Mo Yu's style.

So, Zhang Teng asked strangely, "Oh, what's going on? What's going on over there in Chen Village?"

Mo Yu restrained his smile, sighed, and said a little helplessly: "This matter is a long story, there seems to be a third-level demon beast on the side of Chen Village, and many villagers have been injured in the past few days, and Wangjiazhuang somehow didn't care about it." The people of Chen Village had to come up with their own ideas, planning to set a trap and gather the young people of the whole village to hunt the demon beast. You know that Chencun Avenue is the only way to transport iron ore, and Chencun is not at peace there, and my iron shop business is not easy to do, so helping them is also helping myself. ”

"I see, I thought it was a martial arts event in Suining Town recently, and Master Mo was going to make a big deal of business and make a lot of money. Zhang Teng said a little embarrassed, and then he asked again: "I don't know what kind of third-level demon beast the Chen Village is, is it easy to deal with?"

Mo Yu waved his hand, looking very helpless, and sighed: "Hey, don't mention it, it's a mutated demon tiger, fierce and cunning, often attacking Chen Village late at night, picking on martial arts practitioners, and has already devoured several households." ”

"Picking on the martial arts practitioners?" Zhang Teng heard a movement in his heart, and thought for a while before he said: "It seems that that beast is indeed a disaster, and it must be eliminated as soon as possible." Otherwise, once the martial arts family in Chen Village is devoured, the remaining ordinary people will only let them eat and wait to die. ”

"Yes, I hope Chen Cun can get rid of that beast as soon as possible this time. By the way, Brother Zhang came to the shop this time, do you want to buy something or create some novelty objects? Hehe, as long as you open your mouth, the shop will try its best to help, and there is no ambiguity. ”

At this time, Mo Yu changed the topic, and looked at Zhang Teng with a smile, his eyes lit up, and his fat white round face was full of expectation.

After dealing with the other party for two years, Mo Yu knew that the young man in front of him was unusual.

Because the other party always has some strange ideas, and these ideas are always displayed, new and unique, and very meaningful. Like what trolleys, new iron stoves, universal shovels, light melon planers and so on. These things are ingenious and practical, and once they are introduced in his shop, they make him a lot of money every day.

For Mo Yu, Zhang Teng is simply the god of wealth from heaven, and if he doesn't worship and make friends, he can't get along with money.

Of course, Zhang Teng did not have the idea of taking a piece of the pie for Mo Yu to use his own designs to make money, but only made a simple request, that is, he was allowed to enter the ironshop workshop at any time to observe the work of the craftsmen and learn some skills.

Mo Yu naturally agreed happily, the skills of a one-star craftsman are mostly manual work, and there is nothing to keep secret, even if Zhang Teng learns it, it is nothing. Moreover, Zhang Teng knows a lot about the work of a one-star craftsman, and can even come up with better ideas to help the craftsman improve his process and efficiency.

Zhang Teng smiled and said, "Just take a look here, if you really want to think of something to build, I will definitely ask Master Mo for help." ”

Mo Yu smiled and said, "Brother Zhang doesn't have to be polite, just give me the order, I will do my best then." ”

Zhang Teng hugged Mo Yu and said with a smile: "Hehe, Master Mo is serious. However, thank you in advance, and if you bother in the future, you will definitely have to find a master. ”

"Okay, okay, that's it. Mo Yu said with a smile, "That little brother will just take a look, come to me directly if you have something, I will be waiting for you at any time." ”

"Master Xie Mo, you can get busy first, I'll go in. Zhang Teng arched his hand, turned around and walked straight into the workshop in the iron shop.

Mo Yu looked at the direction where Zhang Teng disappeared, and said with a sigh: "It's really more human than human, it's infuriating." Look at Brother Zhang, and then think about my little rabbit cub, if he wants to be half as sensible as Brother Zhang, I will be satisfied. Hey, that stinky boy, who has nothing to do and doesn't help take care of the business all day, it's really not worry-free. ”
