Chapter 37: Tempering

Jiguo Town, a town with a population of only 3,000, is recorded in the archives of Longyuan County, Yunze. However, with the development of these years, the population has undoubtedly increased a lot. Except for a few slaves who lived here, normal ways, such as breeding or rewarding increased civilians, were not less than 1,000 people.

Just like the census, Longyuan State may not be conducted once in 20 years. As long as there are no problems in all aspects, most people are willing to turn a blind eye and enjoy life in peace.

Lu Buqi entered Jiguo Town. It is quite spacious, with green stone slabs, wooden arches, and rows of green brick houses on both sides. This made Lu Buqi feel like he had come to an old Chinese town. However, compared to the lifeless ancient towns of the past, Jiguo Town still gives people a sense of vibrancy at night.

The smoke had cleared, but the smell of life could still be smelled, and there were no lights at first, but thousands of lights still made the night sky of Jiguo appear brighter.

The three men came in from the north entrance of the town. Lu Zhishen didn't give up the surprised eyes of the first passerby, he heard a voice full of concern in his ears: "Oh, dead Er Qiao, where have you been? You said you were defeating Matsutake for your mother." Why are you coming back now? Don't you know that my mother's dinner is getting colder?"

"Mother!" Wang Shuangqiao's mother's voice even broke Lu Chuan's heart. No matter how strong Wang Shuangqiao was, when he saw his mother, he couldn't help but cry out loud.

"Oh, dead Er Qiao, what's wrong with you?" A woman held by the half-old Wang Shuangqiao had an evil spirit on her face: "Who bullied you with a thousand knives? Tell Niang, Niang cut off his hand to make meat buns and feed the dogs!"

Lu Buqi and Wang Lishou looked at each other and saw the latter spread his hands. Lu Buqi didn't understand why this Wang Lishou hadn't really taken the bun and the widow yet. This woman is beautiful, but the character is really a bit strange, and no one dares to buy her buns.

At the same time, when Bun Widow's gaze fell on him, he felt a gust of wind and murderous aura on his face. Lu Buqi couldn't help but feel sorry for these ten soldiers. Otherwise, he will turn them over and provoke the bun widow. I'm afraid he'll end up dying even worse.

"That stupid boy over there, have you bullied Shuangqiao at my house?" The bun widow who was holding Wang Shuangqiao had already pretended to pick out the criminal.

"Mother... Don't scold, people are my saviors......" Lu Bu and Wang Lishou were taken aback, and Wang Shuangqiao said: "I met a wolf in Beihuangling. If it weren't for Uncle Li Shou and his decision, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen my mother, that's why ......"

Lu Buqi and Wang Lishou looked at each other and smiled. This Wang Shuangqiao is really a smart girl. This little lie is very mature.

"Ah, there's this thing!" The bun widow suddenly changed her face and looked at Wang Lishou next to Lu Buqi. "Hey, isn't this the eldest brother Li Shou? I heard that you stayed in Zenuo Village and came back today? Haven't you eaten yet, do you want to eat something at my house?"

Wang Lishou grinned: "Sister-in-law Baozi, I have a great appetite for this." Aren't you afraid we're going to eat your family?"

"Where, you saved our Shuangqiao girl, and I'm happy to eat it!" Bun Widow invited with a warm face, "Besides, don't you want to take a sip?" I'm tired after a long journey, hurry in and take a rest, and I'll make you two bowls of hot noodles......"

"Sister-in-law Baozi, don't bother!" Wang Lishoulang smiled: "Shuangqiao is also my younger generation. It's impossible to watch her have an accident...... I'll go back to the store first and ask another day. ”

It seems that I also know that I am an orphan and a widow. Inviting two people to dinner can easily cause trouble. Therefore, the bun widow did not continue to insist: "That line will last for a long time. My mother and daughter will always return the love!"

Lu Buqi hadn't spoken for a long time. At this time, he nodded slightly to the mother and daughter, and then followed Wang Lishou with a large package on his back and walked towards the hinterland of Guojian Town.

The town of Jigo is not a traffic fortress, so there is nothing on the town's streets that stretch in all directions. The general layout of the entire town is from north to south. The largest street is the slightly curvy north-south street. But there are also some smaller streets in the east and west.

Wang Lishou's ironworks are located in the southernmost part of Jiguo Town. Because it is usually really noisy, there are almost no houses in the southern part of Jiguo town. The largest meat market in Jiguo Town is also here.

"The master is back!" When the first clear voice resounded through Jiguo's night sky, Lu Buqi saw a scene that he had always remembered in his life. It was from a huge house, suddenly crowded with hundreds of people, everyone with joy and eagerness on their faces, a strong emotion that the supporters bloomed again.

These people are only about ten years old. The older one is similar to Wang Lishou, both are men. Most of them are called Master Wang Lishou, some call him boss, and some call him boss. There is no doubt that Wang Lishou is the mainstay in the minds of these people.

Whenever I see this group of children struggling with him, Wang Lishou is very ambitious: "Have you eaten it all?"

"I'm eating now, Li Shou, but you've already come back......" At this time, a man named Mr. Lu did not abandon his acquaintance, and stood in a row and walked over: "If I don't come back, I'm afraid I will be put on the stove by your disciples!"

This person is Wang Leehom, who is entrusted by Wang Lishou, and he often helps him take care of the store. Wang Lishou laughed: "Your meat is not good." I'm telling you, I ate well along the way. Even good animals eat seven or eight kinds of meat!"

Since many blacksmith apprentices and workers did not know what spirit was, there were not many protests. But Wang Leehom was undoubtedly taken aback: "This... Are you kidding?"

"Believe it or not, haha......" Wang Lishou said lazily and patted him on the shoulder. "Don't be disgusted, get hungry, eat something. ”

Lu Buqi nodded. In the eyes of Wang Leehom and everyone, he carried a large package on his back and came to the blacksmith shop in Guoji Town, where Wang Lishou was based.

Just as Lu Zhishen did not give up, nor did he expect that Wang Lishou would have so many apprentices, this blacksmith shop is much bigger than Lu Zhishen did not give up and imagined. It's like an elementary school. I'm afraid there is a space of 200-300 meters around, and there are a dozen or twenty houses around.

Lu Buqi was very hungry. After all, it's past the usual meal time. So he put down his food and began to devour it. It is mainly aimed at some dough and vegetables. More than a decade later, he finally ate pasta, which surprised him into the world of gastronomy.
