There are many skilled craftsmen in Kaifeng Prefecture, and there are not a few famous knife makers.

However, if it is said that the person who really made a good knife for Yu Yin, it is not easy to find. Most of these characters are picky jobs. Some may not even be able to make a knife in a year. Their main job is to instruct their disciples, unless they are the kind of high-ranking officials and nobles, or if they are pleasing to the eye, they may not be able to ask for money.

Yan Nu tilted his head and thought for a long time, with a look of guilt.

"I can't think of a good candidate...... There are only a few companies in Tokyo that can make good swords, and most of them are disciples, and masters rarely make shots. Even if I can ask them to help, I am afraid that the salary is also amazingly high. ”

Yu Yin didn't care much, thought about it and said: "Then my own family goes back and turns, and the famous man fights the knife, it's really unacceptable." ”

Generally speaking, he knew that the good swordsmith in Tokyo would take a hundred or ten times to make a good knife.

He is not like Lu Zhishen in the Water Margin, who only has a dozen iron Zen staff and a ring knife. If it is really a good knife, it will cost thousands of times at every turn, Yuyin can't afford it, but he just feels that it is too wasteful.

There is no shortage of money at home!

When he left Tokyo, he still had one or two thousand kan at home.

This time he came back from the city of Kedun, and brought back a few thousand, although many of them had not yet been converted into two dollars. Emperor Roufu gave 5,000 guan, and there were also some jewels that would be worth thousands of kan if sold, and there were about 20,000 pieces of bits and pieces.

And the Yu family shop has had a good business in the past few months, and it can also have a surplus of several hundred yuan in a month.

After such calculations, Yu Yin is really not short of money in his hands!

However, Yu Yin didn't dare to use it indiscriminately.

What the future holds, he doesn't know yet. That's right, he is in Kedun City, adding a variable to history, but in Kaifeng, his butterfly is too small, small to set off storms at all, and it is even more difficult to make a difference.

Think for the best and plan for the worst.

I can have some savings at home, and I can't say that I can have more confidence in the future.

So Yu Yin didn't ask again, so he said to Yan Nu, changed into clean clothes, and Shi Shiran went out.

Yan Nu didn't go out!

It's not that she doesn't want to go out, it's really not reassured.

There is suddenly so much money in this house, if it is not properly arranged, it will not be able to rest assured after all.

Yuyin went out, and if she went out again, there would be no one at home...... If there is a short-sighted intrusion, wouldn't it be a big deal?

Thinking of this, Yan Nu took it easy.

She picked up the dishes and chopsticks and returned to the kitchen, but suddenly slapped her head with a look of remorse, "How did I forget this?" ”

Next to the cutting board, two round sticks are placed.

Yan Nu looked at the round stick, and then he had an idea.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The sun was shining and the wind was gentle.

Kaifeng City in the twilight of summer, no longer the previous heat wave rolling, everywhere reveals a trace of autumn coolness.

Yu Yin walked out of the house and greeted people from time to time along the way. He didn't walk fast, but his steps were different from the usual calmness.

Now that you have a family and a career, the responsibility on your shoulders is heavier!

Yu Yin went all the way down Sweet Water Lane, turned a corner in Yulin Lane, and went straight to Mahang Street. However, instead of going to the Yu family's shop, he went out of the city. Walk out of the inner city and continue north, and soon come to the city of Luoma.

This mule and horse market is not very lively.

After all, although the population of Kaifeng Mansion is quite large, there are really not many people who can afford mules and horses.

There are good mules and horses, but they have long been picked up, and most of the mules and horses in the bazaar do not look very satisfactory. The mule and horse dealers also seemed very leisurely, and no one came up to greet Yu Yin. Yu Yin walked all the way down, and found a forage shop called Qijia Puzi in the innermost part of Luoma City. Yan Nu said that the feed of the Qi family shop is the best one in Luoma City. The price is a little more expensive than the feed of other shops, but the quality is the best, so the reputation is good.

Dark gold accompanied Yu Yin all the way, and even more pinned on Yu Yin's heart, a small concern.

Therefore, he didn't care about the price, and after finding the Qi family's shop, he walked in, but saw that behind the counter, a middle-aged man was holding a book, reading it with relish. After Yu Yin came in, he only raised his head to take a look, and did not get up to greet him.

Yu Yin smiled!

This guy really has a personality......

"Dare to ask if it's the shopkeeper?"

"Have a big animal at home? What forage! ”

This guy is really bullish, and the guests ask each other, but they don't look like they love to answer.

If it weren't for Yan Nu saying that the forage in this shop was good, Yu Yin would have brushed his sleeves away. Just for the sake of dark gold, Yu Yin shook his head with a wry smile, and said in a deep voice: "I have a horse at home, and I want to buy some forage, do you have an introduction from the shopkeeper?" ”

"Horses?"

The shopkeeper then raised his head.

"Horse or military horse?"

"This ...... It's a military horse! ”

"In this way, the forage of the military horse is different from that of the horse, and the price is not the same. There are more than a dozen kinds of forage for military horses at home, depending on which one you want. If it is a southern horse, it is not very good, and this kind of bran grass is recommended. The northern horse looks like a horse from the Western Regions or a horse from the desert north, and the forage required is also different. The price can be high or low, you can choose it yourself. ”

Shopkeeper Qi took out a booklet from under the counter and spread it out to explain to Yu Yin.

Yu Yin didn't know these many rules, so he thought about it and said: "I bought the horse from Taiyuan, and although it is old, it is a good horse." As for the Western Regions Ma Mobei Ma you said, I don't know very well. But yesterday I saw that it was quite sweet to eat black bean cakes, so I ...... In this way, please choose a few for me from the shopkeeper, take them back and see them first, and then talk about them. ”

"Taiyuan's military horses?"

Shopkeeper Qi thought for a while, "As far as I know, most of the Taiyuan military horses come from the northwest, and the possibility of horses from the Western Regions is relatively high...... Since you say it's a good horse, then I suggest you use this hay and add my special soybean cake.

Don't let it use well water, it's better to take it out for a walk, it's better to use river water.

On weekdays, my family can also provide water, a large bucket of water 20 Wen, every day people draw from outside the city, absolutely guaranteed fresh.

This kind of horse is best used with concentrate, fresh as well...... Once every ten days, once is too different, three runs are enough. If you decide whether to settle down, I will arrange for people to bring water and forage to your house, and save you from walking. ”

Three times in ten days?

That's not cheap!

But Yuyin thought about it and decided to come down.

After agreeing with the shopkeeper Qi, he said goodbye and left.

Out of the mule and horse market, Yu Yin went straight to the butcher shop on Mahang Street. He also planned to discuss with Yang Zaixing that he could kill pigs in the slaughterhouse and practice knife skills in the future. However, on the way back, when Yuyin passed by an iron shop, he suddenly became interested and walked in.

The area of the iron shop is not large, and most of them are placed with some agricultural tools and iron tools.

There is only one side, there are weapons on display, swords side by side, the number is not too much, but the variety is quite complete.

"Guest, want to buy a sword?"

Yu Yin smiled at the guy, didn't answer, and slowly walked to the weapon rack.

The guy immediately came up and enthusiastically introduced Yu Yin. There are not many types of knives in this iron shop, generally there are two kinds of hand knives and simple knives, Yuyin tried it, and I didn't feel particularly satisfied. Cause? Quite simply, the knife is too light.

"Is there a knife that weighs enough?"

The guy was stunned, looked at Yu Yin and smiled: "The guests don't know, the knives in our shop are all standard weights." If it's a heavier knife, I'm afraid it will have to be specially made. But Xiao Di didn't know, what kind of knife did the guest want? ”

"This ......"

Yu Yin really didn't know how to speak.

I'm afraid that there will be an expert to answer this thing, he only knows how to use a knife, what kind of knife can be used, but he doesn't know too well......

"How's the horse chopping knife?"

Just when Yu Yin felt embarrassed, he suddenly heard someone talking at the door.

The guy looked back and hurriedly called respectfully: "Master Zhou, why are you here today?" ”

There was a middle-aged man standing at the door, with a slightly thin physique, a pale face, and a somewhat sickly look. He coughed twice and walked towards Yu Yin, "Xiao Yi's body is long and powerful, and with an ordinary knife, I'm afraid it's hard to press your hand." If in the early years, when his body was good, he couldn't say that he could make one specifically for Xiao Yi, but now, ...... I have a sword here, which I built for someone a few years ago, but I didn't want to make it, but the guy is dead, so I stayed in the shop.

Xiao Tie, go and bring the box I put on the beam frame in the back roof and open Xiao Yi's eyes. ”

Yu Yin was stunned, "Do you recognize me?" ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately smiled, "I don't have eyes or ears in my own family, how can I not recognize you Yu Xiaoyi?" ”

Listening to this, it seems that he is quite familiar with Yu Yin.

This also made Yu Yin a little overwhelmed, don't meet the elders!

"When your father-in-law was alive, he asked me to build a pair of yin and yang sticks for your Yan slave.

I saw you when I was a child, but then I went back to my hometown to recuperate, and then I came back.

Kid good! I didn't lose the face of your father-in-law and your father.

I've only been here for a month or two, and I've heard a lot of people talk about you...... Hehe, if Lao Zhou is alive and knows that with such a promising son-in-law as you, Jiuquan will laugh happily. ”

What an elder!

Yu Yin's heart suddenly became apprehensive.

You know, he's a Xibei cargo...... Wouldn't it be bad if it was seen as a clue?

But listening to the meaning of this person's words, it seems that he has only seen himself when he was a child. That's reasonable, it's been a long time, and I can't recognize it.

At this time, the guy named Xiao Tie came over with a hard time holding a box.

Yu Yin hurriedly stepped forward to catch it, and it was quite heavy.

"It's ......"

"Eight years ago, there was a good man called Eight Legs, who made 1,500 pieces, and asked me to help him fight a good knife......

It took me a year to gather the materials, and by the time the knife came out, the eight legs were dead.

The money, he has already gone out, but the knife is left here...... That guy committed something at the time, and I didn't dare to publicize it, so I kept it. Speaking of which, the eight-legged man is about the same height as you, and he is also a man of great length and strength. This knife was specially made for him, weighing sixty-two pounds, but I don't know if Xiao Yi can make it. If Xiao Yi can use it, he will give it to you. ”

Eight legs?

Yu Yin was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "What the master said, but is it Liu Tang, one of the thirty-six thieves in Jingdong?" ”
