Chapter 29, The Rhinoceros Blacksmith
Before you even enter the shop, you can hear the sound of ironware being made inside.
Thick black smoke drifted from above, turning the surrounding sky a dull gray.
As far as the eye can see, dozens of burly blacksmiths, with hammers in their hands, are striking iron blocks, and it is indeed a blacksmith shop of no small scale.
The middle-aged man who was dozing off when he sat on the side saw someone walk in, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and his sturdy body exuded a powerful aura, "What's the matter with the three little friends, it is a processing area, there is danger, and outsiders are not allowed to enter."
Li Bai glanced at Uncle Miscellaneous in front of him, and said in a gentle tone, "Hello, may I ask who of you here can call the shots."
The middle-aged man said in a simple tone, "If the little brother wants to build something, just tell me directly, negotiate the price, and you can get the goods in a day." Of course, we also have some finished products there, so you can buy them directly if you need them."
Li Bai glanced at the iron tools placed in the stall next to him, there was a long sword in it, but it was a heavy sword that was standard for the imperial cavalry, and it was not suitable for him to use.
Gently lifted up, the hand was very heavy, and it was impossible to swing it at all, let alone use the Qinglian Sword Technique.
But the workmanship is quite good.
Then he took out the long sword drawings he had prepared before from his arms, which were drawings drawn by Li Bai imitating the Qinglian Sword in his previous life.
"I want to build a long sword like this."
The middle-aged man took the drawing, and a different color flashed in his eyes, "Is the proportion of your long sword not accurate enough, it's too thin, and it can't exert the power of the sword at all."
The corners of Li Bai's mouth showed a faint smile, the empire's long sword was mainly based on slashing, and the heavier it was, the stronger the lethality.
However, Li Bai's long sword focuses on swordsmanship rather than weight, so it should be light and sharp.
"There's nothing wrong with the proportions, you just have to build it to the size above, and I'll pay the money as usual."
The middle-aged man was still a little incomprehensible, and said in a bold tone, "No problem, may I ask whether it is made of ordinary iron or fine iron, there seems to be no difference in the appearance of the two, but the lethality is decisively different, and the latter is naturally much more expensive."
"Okay, then use fine iron to build it, money is naturally not a problem", Li Bai said softly.
The middle-aged man nodded, "If you use fine iron to make it, you need five gold soul coins, and I, the Thirty-Eight Soul Venerable, will personally create it."
The three of them looked slightly shocked, but they didn't expect that the man standing in front of them was actually a thirty-eighth-level Soul Venerable.
"Hello, we are also soul masters, Li Bai, twenty-one level Great Soul Master, Martial Soul Wine, this is my partner, Sun Sheng, twenty-third level Great Soul Master, Martial Soul Qianjun Stick", Li Bai said happily.
The middle-aged man laughed with a bold face, "Haha, the thirty-eighth level defense system soul venerable, the martial soul madness, I didn't expect a few little friends to be soul masters, don't worry, the things you need to build are wrapped up in us, and they will definitely satisfy you."
Li Bai took out five golden soul coins from his pocket and handed them to the middle-aged man, "Then there is Uncle Lao, we will come over to get weapons in two days."
The middle-aged man nodded lightly, "Put a hundred hearts, I guarantee that it can be completed."
Then he picked up the huge hammer next to him, which was obviously about twice as large as the ordinary blacksmith's hammer.
Leaving the blacksmith shop and passing through an alley, Li Bai suddenly felt a familiar smell wafting in the air.
Is this the taste of wine?
After a few deep sips, I couldn't help but be secretly shocked that it was really the taste of wine.
I thought there was no wine in this world, but I didn't expect to find it here, which is just Li Bai, who is addicted to alcohol, naturally can't let it go.
I have been smelling the smell of wine in the air and found a small workshop.
The flavor of the sake in the shop is getting stronger, but this sake is slightly different from the sake of the previous life, and it is all made from wheat fermented at high temperatures.
A sweaty young man walked out of it, and said with a puzzled expression, "Is there anything wrong with a few little friends?" ”
"May I ask you if this is wine?" Li Bai asked.
The young man rolled up his sleeves and wiped the sweat on his face, "I didn't know if this was such a thing, anyway, it was a drink made from fermented wheat, and no one usually likes to drink it, but those blacksmith uncles in the city like to drink this kind of thing, and after fermentation, it is mainly supplied to the surrounding blacksmith shops."
Li Bai suddenly had a bold idea, why not bring the wine to this world.
You must know that in the previous life, wine was invented in the Xia Dynasty, flourished in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and in the Tang Dynasty, it was the favorite thing of literati, knights, and even princes and generals. It would be a great asset to be able to introduce alcohol to the world.
Douluo Continent claims to have a population of 10 billion, as long as there are 100 million people drinking, it will be an astronomical amount.
Although Li Bai has never liked to chase fame and fortune, he has experienced a previous life and let him know that money may not be everything, but with money, many things can be easily solved.
For example, in Douluo Continent, as long as you have enough money, you can even hire a Soul King as your personal bodyguard.
The excited look on his face slowly regained his composure, "I have a grand and ambitious plan, I don't know if I can talk to you further."
The young man's face was slightly pale, and he asked with some doubt on his face, "May I ask ...... you are?"
"Twenty-first level Great Soul Master, Martial Soul Wine, Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy student, this is my sister, this is my partner, Twenty-three Battle Soul Master, Martial Soul Qianjun Stick", as he spoke, he was already shrouded in a half-thousand-year-old soul ring.
In Douluo Continent, the soul ring is undoubtedly the best symbol of identity.
It is the most expensive group in this world, and if you want to gain the trust of others, there is nothing more effective than telling them that you are a soul master.
The young man's face was slightly shocked, and a smile appeared on his face, "It's actually a few noble soul masters, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for the little ones who just neglected it, if you don't dislike it, you can go upstairs to talk, there is a small office there."
Li Bai said softly, "Naturally, there is no problem."
The young man rummaged through the cabinets and found the best tea leaves in the house, and made them a pot of the best tea in the house.
In a respectful tone, he said, "Hello Venerable Soul Master, in Lower Kriko, I don't know what the grand and ambitious plan you just said is."
"Have you ever tried to carry forward the wine industry downstairs you're in?" Li Bai said with a serious face.
"Carry it forward? It's a powerful thing, and blacksmiths have more power when they drink a hammer, but it doesn't taste good, and a lot of people hate it, and I've tried it before, but it ended up failing," Cricco began.
"That's because there is a problem with the recipe and technology of your brewing wine, in other words, what you brew can't actually be called wine, I want to cooperate with you, I provide gold soul coins and technology, you find someone to process and brew wine, and then we will sell the wine together, the profits obtained, you and I will divide the account, and the losses caused will be borne by me alone, how about it?" , Li Bai said calmly.
