Chapter 148: The Ring Head Knife

The third more

"You can only do it if you have money, and no one will be so used to children." Now Yao Lu finally understands, look at the eight-color dim sum, it takes time to do this every day. If you have money and leisure, you will want to do this.

"My shop is doing pretty good." Xin Kun smiled, thought about it and said to the person waiting on the side, "Go and ask Uncle Li to get two ring-headed knives." ”

Yahuan hurriedly went out, and after a while, she took two half-foot-long, palm-wide sandalwood boxes and gave them to Yao Lu and Zhu Long.

Just looking at the box, he knew that the contents were extraordinary, Yao Lu opened it and opened his mouth. Could it be that in this legend, the 'ring head knife' necessary for lifting children is the product of the Xin family?

According to the "Historical Records of Justice", "the ancient use of the Jane, the book has a mistake to cut it with a knife, so it is called the knife and pen officer." The knife and pen later became synonymous with scribes. Therefore, the ring head knife is one of the essential stationery that appeared in daily life and office at the beginning.

In addition to counterweighting the handle to balance the handle, it is also to facilitate the suspension of the carry, just like the keychain that modern people carry with them.

Because of the continuous progress of metallurgical technology, the ring-headed knife that was first used by the clerks slowly evolved into a weapon. The appearance is also varied.

The Xin family's appearance this time is actually more like a literary game. It is used to cut paper, and it can also be used to make a book knife (that is, a skewer used to turn books). Although it is not very practical now, literati can also be used as a pendant like a jade pendant and a long sword.

It is only the size of a long key, and according to the ancient system, it has a thick back, a single edge, a straight body, and a ring head. Small and refined, the point is that this time, it is secondary scrap steel. Therefore, the pattern on the knife is more finely broken and looks better. Of course, Xin Kun did not care about the cost in order to look good, so Aunt Li found a group of girls to tie beautiful silk knots. Together, it's a perfect piece of art.

The main reason for launching this is that Xin Kun thinks that this year is just in time for the year of the imperial examination, and the intention of this ring head knife is good, and it is something that can only be used by officials, of course, it is good. If you publicize it again, you can also say that you can ward off evil spirits and block evil spirits when you bring it on your body, and as soon as you launch it, you will be snatched up.

It's mainly because Xin Kun's accident came out at the same time, Wu Bo often sighed in the store, the sooner it was launched, Xin Kun wouldn't have an accident. So those who went to Beijing to prepare for the exam, whether they had money or not, they had to come and grab one.

"This one, it's so beautiful." Yao Lu couldn't help but say, he had also heard of this, but the number on the market was too small, and he had only heard of it, but had never seen it, and now Xin Kun actually sent them casually. This favor is a bit big, but because of this, he finally knows why Zhu Long said that the Xin Kun family is rich, not like ordinary blacksmiths.

"It can be used to cut paper, and sometimes when you go out, you can also respond to emergencies. This was originally decided by someone else, but the two benevolent brothers came over just in time. Xin Kun smiled and motioned for them to accept it, without any burden.

She didn't tell them that they now collect a lot of scrap steel and scrap iron, melt those scrap steel and scrap iron every day, and then pick out the good ones and put them aside, and then order the kitchen knives, and again, let the small workers make hundreds of stacks of steel and store them, and now the scrap shops are busier than the shops in front of them. Uncle Li has decided to build another shop in Zhuangzi outside the city to collect scrap ironware, otherwise I am afraid that there will be no rice to cook.

"If someone else has set it, how can we take it." Zhu Long is knowledgeable, his family background is better than Yao Lu, he actually ordered one, but legend has it that the orders are scheduled for half a year, so I want to wait slowly. How did he know that this Xin was Bisin. It turned out that Xin Kun was Shaodong, a famous blacksmith shop in Beijing.

"It's okay, it's ready-made, just pretend to be a tassel and tie a knot. Rest assured, rest assured. Xin Kun waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care about it.

"So, although the Xin family is just a blacksmith, you are not an ordinary blacksmith." Yao Lu carefully put it away, looked at Xin Kun, who had a very bad face, and asked in a low voice.

But looking at the box, he also knew that it wouldn't be cheap, and when Zhu Long asked them if they were ordinary blacksmiths, Xin Kun gave them this. This shows that although their family is a blacksmith, the blacksmith and the blacksmith are not the same! The things they hunt take are all taken different routes.

"Yes, our family has been a craftsman for generations, and our ancestors have been making iron for generations. My grandfather was the first to help the military department to fight a single knife, but he was old in the past two years, and I had to take the imperial examination and could not inherit the family business, so he retired. Go to the capital to get a kitchen knife and pass the time. Now our kitchen knives are also quite famous, if you want to give one to your mother, you can also order. I asked them to give a discount to the two. ”

"Ahem......" Zhu Long coughed, looked at the ring knife in his hand, and thought about what the kitchen knife had to be made like this.

"So Brother Xin Xian, will you also strike iron?" Yao Lu was a little stunned, he couldn't imagine Xin Kun like this, going to get a hammer.

"Of course, my craft has been passed down from my grandfather, and it's not bad. However, I don't know if I can hold a hammer again in the future. Xin Kun sighed, looking at the chubby little hands. He has been lying down for almost a month, and he doesn't seem to exercise anything other than taking a bath every day, so it's really boring.

"By the way, Brother Xin Xian, can you take the college exam? The exam is coming up in mid-June, and you ...... now," Yao Lu asked in a very tangled way. They gossiped for a long time, and Zhu Long spent time with him today, and the focus was still to ask Xin Kun if he could continue the exam. But he has never asked these days, and he doesn't want to mention it, for fear that Xin Kun will be sad. Now when Xin Kun mentioned that he couldn't strike iron, he was sad to be like this, so he couldn't take the imperial examination...... Yao Lu couldn't even think about it.

"Do your best! Originally, I wanted to give up, but so many people tried to make me better, and if I could take the test, I still wanted to take it. It's not bad for the cultivation of my grandfather and Lord Cai. Xin Kun looked at the two of them, and actually had a little drum in his heart.

Before, she still hoped to make one or two literati friends, a hero and three gangs, Cai Guan is now more and more compatible with herself, but she feels that Cai cares too much about things, and it is actually quite tiring to be friends with him.

Guo Peng didn't want to pollute anymore, although she would sometimes tell him the cruel reality, but looking at his still pure eyes, she still felt at ease.

Now she is in great need of classmates who advance and retreat together, and help each other in the same year. So every time Yao Lu came, they would talk about books, talk about writing skills, and they could all gain something, this time they suddenly mentioned the college exam, which made Xin Kun a little worried, would these two mind if they fought for that place with them?
