Chapter 33: Eyes are like a crisp
Following Candle Yongzi, we walked through the shop, walked through the garden, and came to a large courtyard where we were busy working. The courtyard was divided into a dozen forging chambers of different sizes by a wall. In each forging room, there is a complete set of equipment and corresponding workers. Of course, the larger the forging chamber, the more personnel it will be staffed.
These workers are all strong men in their thirties. They were all shirtless, and in the forging room, some pulled bellows to control the temperature of the furnace, and some worked in groups of two or three to beat the material embryo to make it into the shape of various weapons and armor. But after all, they are just workers, and in the end, it is the forger who can really shape these weapons and armor.
"But why are there so few forgers here, only four or five?" I asked, puzzled.
Ah Ke rolled his eyes: "Forging masters are rare talents everywhere, and it is already remarkable that there are only four or five here. β
That's right, if the forge is rotten, then won't all weapons be sold for the price of cabbage?
I watched the forgers go back and forth in the various forging rooms, and I couldn't help but ask, "But in this case, wouldn't it be difficult to forge fine products?" β
Childe laughed. This is just a place where popular weapons, armor are produced. We also have a special forging master in charge of forging fine goods. Candle Yongzi explained to me.
After listening to it, I couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. Low, medium and high-end products are readily available, and the marketing methods are very appropriate, if this old man lives in the real world, I am afraid that he is a man of the hour who countless people chase and shout "Dad".
We followed Candle Yongzi through the courtyard and came to a small building with a faint and unique fragrance. The dΓ©cor of this small building is not very luxurious, but it is very elegant. On the wall, there are a few paintings of famous masters, and some small tables are also arranged with flowers and plants. Since the owner here is a master of weapon forging, it is natural that some decorative swords are also indispensable.
This should be the bedroom where Candle Yongzi rests by herself, because there is a large bed with a curtain drawn in the next room.
However, what we never expected was that after coming in, the curtain was actually pulled open from the inside, and out came a stunning woman wearing translucent tulle with a good temperament! That fiery figure, that noble temperament, and that peerless face almost made me vomit nosebleeds.
"Dead ghost, the concubine has been waiting for you for a long time. Ah, there are guests, don't say it early. The stunning woman said angrily, but did not panic, and gently closed the door, and put on her clothes inside.
After more than a minute, she walked out with small steps, fully dressed, and paced. She looked at us and raised an eyebrow: "Dead ghosts, who are they?" β
"Mrs. Yuqi. They are from Bian Que's Medical Center, and they have lost their appetite these days, so the divine doctor specially ordered them to send some medicine. β
"Well, that's fine. Since you have a guest, I'll come back in the evening to appreciate your majesty. With that, she walked away. But when I got to the door, she suddenly turned around, smiled at me, and pulled down the clothes on her shoulders, revealing her snow-white skin, and winked at me!
I blushed and felt half full.
Seeing my embarrassment, Mrs. Qi was very happy and giggled and left.
When she was far away, Ah Ke couldn't help but say, "What a slut!" And you, hmph, have such poor concentration, and you are in vain my brother's friend. β
Candle Yongzi coughed and said, "Don't blame the son, the old decay who was originally widowed and couldn't help her flattery." Also, don't let her hear those two words, otherwise she will be killed. β
"Yes, I'm a young man with strong blood, and I've never had a girlfriend, so it's normal to have this reaction." After speaking, I hurriedly said to Candle Yongzi, "But who is she?" It feels like it's coming from a lot. β
"Ahem, she's just a friend, a friend of mine." Candle Yongzi's face suddenly turned red, and he sat down a little flustered, "You two please take a seat, you don't need to be polite." β
Cut, believe you have a ghost. We sat across the table as well. Suddenly, my gossip heart burned. But when asked again, Candle Yongzi didn't say anything, just silently made tea for us. Boiling water is needed to make tea, and there happens to be a set of beautiful small stoves here. The temperature of this small stove is extremely high, and a pot of water has rolled up white blisters in more than half a minute. Miraculously, we didn't feel much heat.
The master personally made tea for us, which flattered us a little. So when Ah Ke took advantage of the boiling water, he quickly got up and took the teapot and tea leaves, and said: "I have also learned some fur of tea art, and I have made ugliness to my predecessors here." β
Candle Yongzi smiled and nodded, then turned his head, suddenly looked left and right, and said mysteriously: "Childe didn't tell others about his old illness, did he?" β
In this case, could it be that this old man has some unspeakable disease? Thinking of Bian Que's expressions and belly black Lori, it's really possible! But I don't know about this explosive gossip!
"Ahem, senior, don't worry. Keeping the patient's privacy is the most basic ethics of a doctor. After speaking, I handed the medicine I brought with me to Candle Yongzi.
After Candle Yongzi took the medicine, he mysteriously hid it in a hidden space under a wooden plank. After covering the plank, he sat down again satisfied, regaining the brilliance of the master: "Childe, let's get down to business now." I can't believe that you are just here to deliver medicine. β
"The seniors are really wise. I'm here today, mainly to ask my seniors for help in crafting weapons. After saying that, I quickly removed the two tiger beast tusks that I was carrying behind me.
Candle Yongzi took two rice-long tiger teeth, held them in his hand and stroked them gently, like caressing the jade skin of a peerless beauty, and his eyes were full of indescribable tenderness. After touching it for a while, he sighed: "It's really a unique and superior material." If I hadn't taken over today, it would have been a terrible thing to change to any forger. After a pause, he continued, "I wonder what weapon Gongzi wants to make with these two tiger teeth?" β
Hehe, old man, blow, you keep blowing!
"Well, I want to make two daggers. Ke, do you want it? β
"No, I don't. My two stalks were given by my brother, and I won't easily replace them unless they're broken. β
Sure enough, you are a brother, and I asked in vain.
Candle Yongzi touched his beard: "Old man Rong asks again, although the dagger is simple, there are more than 100 styles, what kind of son needs?" β
Is this going to be a template? Don't say it, I really have! I took my usual dagger from my bosom and placed it on the table. Unexpectedly, before I could speak, Candle Yongzi snatched it up and touched it for a while, and then reluctantly put it down.
Looking at the greed that flashed in his eyes, I wonder if we don't represent Bian Que Medical Hall now, I'm afraid this old man even has the intention of killing people and grabbing treasures. So I can't help but be more curious about my dagger.
"Senior, what are you?"
"Childe, do you know what kind of dagger this is?"
