The rules of the blacksmith competition are very simple, as long as you create a work that you are most proud of, say what makes it different, and then after the judges' inspection, you will get a score of A, B, C and D, and then select the top 100 for the second round of competition.

The blacksmiths who enter the top 100 can all be hired by the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty and become the exclusive blacksmiths of the royal family, with a good monthly salary, and they can also get a set of housing, glorifying their ancestors.

This alone made all the blacksmiths participating in the competition breathless and their fighting spirit raging.

After the top 100 are decided, a second round of competition will be held to determine the final top 10.

If you become a top 10 blacksmith, you can be a blacksmith leader, and the salary is one level higher than that of the top 100 blacksmiths, which will also make the blacksmiths who enter the top 100 dare not slack off, and they must show their housekeeping skills to have a chance to enter the top ten.

When you become the top ten, it is the final round, and the first place in the final will win the title of the world's first blacksmith.

If you want to become the number one blacksmith in the world, there is no fluke component, you can only rely on your strength to fight.

All the competitions lasted for a total of fifteen days, and all of them were public, and all the people could go to the four sub-venues in Lin'an to watch the blacksmiths clanging as long as they had free time.

The small traders are very smart and see the rare business opportunities, and around the competition site, there are many vendors who set up stalls selling snacks, tea, fruits, vegetables, etc., and really make a small profit.

From the first day of the competition, Ling Chi was dragged into the crowd by Huang Rong, and when he encountered something he liked, he bought a little, and when he saw some strange things made by some blacksmiths, he would stand by curiously and take a look, which was very cheerful.

"Uncle Ling, let's sell food too!" Huang Rong bought a piece of puff pastry, but frowned after eating it: "The snacks here are too unpalatable." ”

"That's not going to work." Ling Chi stuffed the puff pastry cake she had eaten and didn't want to eat into her mouth, and said, "It's not easy for people to live, it's rare to have such an opportunity to make money, so don't compete with them." ”

"Hmm." Huang Rong's eyes flashed, she walked to another food stall and bought a hemp ball, and took a bite: "Uh, it's so unpalatable." Uncle Ling, here you go. ”

Ling Chi was helpless: "Okay! ”

"This isn't tasty, Uncle Ling, give it."

"Okay."

"Wow! It's also too unpalatable. ”

"Then give it to me!"

"Uncle Ling, this is okay, but I can't eat it, I'll give you the rest!"

“……”

Ling Chi felt that he had become a second-hand goods recycling center, specializing in collecting what Huang Rong didn't eat when he took a bite.

However, although those snacks can't reach the white level, the taste is not bad, why does Huang Rong always say that it is unpalatable?

In the end, Ling Chi could only attribute it to Huang Rong's mouth being too tricky and unable to eat ordinary food.

"I finally know why you like cooking so much." Ling Chi sighed.

Huang Rong: "??? ”

……

The half-month blacksmith competition entered the final day, and on this day, the top ten blacksmiths created the most satisfying works in their lives, and each one was of the highest quality and amazing.

After some evaluation and deliberation, it was finally decided that a middle-aged blacksmith named Ou Yu won the title of the world's first blacksmith.

As soon as the results were announced, Ou Yu cried with joy and yelled on his knees: "I didn't disgrace the Ou family!" ”

Seeing him excited like this, although the blacksmiths who lost were unwilling, they also sent him blessings, after all, they would have to eat the same public meals in the future, and it would be good for everyone to have a good relationship with each other.

……

Ling Chi looked at the sword created by Ou Yu, the sword body was silver and white, and the cold light was overflowing, it was indeed a sword that was difficult to find in the world.

But......

Ling Chi took out the kitchen knife and slashed at the sword, and the sword was instantly broken in two, but there was also a little gap in the edge of the kitchen knife.

Oh huh?

Ling Chi exclaimed, "What a good sword. ”

"......" Ou Yu was dumbfounded.

What's going on?

My Sword...... It was actually cut off by a kitchen knife!?

Ling Chi picked up the broken sword and said, "Your name is Ou Yu?" ”

"Ah, yes." Ou Yu immediately knelt on the ground: "It's the villain." ”

He didn't know why after meeting the emperor, the emperor would let him go to the back garden to see this person? At such a young age, he won't be the crown prince of the dynasty, right?

No matter who it is, it is definitely not a big man he can offend, and Ou Yu's posture is extremely low.

"Get up!" Ling Chi smiled and said, "Relax, I'm not a big person." ”

Ou Yu didn't dare to believe a word, but he still thanked him and stood up.

"Sit." Ling Chi pointed to the chair.

"Master Xie." Ou Yu sat down honestly.

Looking at Ou Yu, who was like a rookie who participated in the interview for the first time in later generations, Ling Chi smiled and asked, "What relatives do you have at home?" ”

"Back to the adult, the villain's wife and children, and the clan are all there."

Ou Yu's answer made Ling Chi frown: It's not easy to do!

His fingers knocked on the tabletop, and the knock made Ou Yu very nervous.

"If you are given a chance to build a more advanced than my kitchen knife, or even a more advanced divine weapon in the future, are you willing to leave your wife and children?" Speaking of which, Ling Chi added, "Of course, your wife and children, old and young, will be taken care of in the best possible way. ”

Ou Yu was stunned, but his eyes became extremely hot.

It has always been their family's tradition to build divine weapons, and the sword he tried his best to build was just cut off by a kitchen knife. This was a huge blow to him and to his family. But when he heard that he had the opportunity to create a weapon that was more advanced than a kitchen knife, his nervous and excited heart was about to jump out.

It's just that...... asked him to leave behind his wife and children......

Ou Yu struggled incomparably.

"I know it's so hard for you." Ling Chi said: "But there is only one chance, if you don't do it, someone else will replace you." There was a pause: "The top ten blacksmiths will not be much worse than you." ”

“……”

After being silent for a long time, Ou Yu got up and knelt on the ground again: "Thank you, my lord, the villain is willing." ”

Ling Chi smiled slightly: "Do you have any other requirements?" ”

"......" Ou Yu was silent for a moment, and said, "I wonder if I can let the villain's bad wife follow?" ”

Ling Chi looked at him and nodded, "Yes." ”

Ou Yu suddenly looked happy: "Thank you, sir." ”

"Not necessarily." Ling Chi waved his hand: "You go back to your hometown to meet your family, and in three months, come here to see me." ”

"Yes, thank you, my lord, the villain is leaving."

……

Ou Yu became the first blacksmith in the world, and the Great Song Dynasty personally arranged a whole day of parades, allowing him to ride a tall horse and tie a big red flower to accept the cheers of the entire Lin'an people.

After that, Ou Yu returned to his hometown under the protection of officers and soldiers, causing a huge sensation in the local area.

His wife, children, and people were proud of him, and they celebrated a three-day feast in the area.

This is the pinnacle of Ou Yu's life in this world.

……

Three months later, Ou Yu and his wife returned to Lin'an, and have not been heard from since.
