Chapter 193 No gifts for the New Year

The second more

"I don't accept gifts for the New Year this year, only the Xin family sword will be accepted as a gift!" The flowers in the streets and alleys are holding bone bells, laughing and singing there, if someone asks, people can also give him a printed red list, the list is printed with twelve ancient swords, there is no scabbard, it is placed on the old wooden sword rack, each of which also has a head, anyway, in less than seven days, people all over the street know that the gift made by the Xin family for the New Year is the town house sword!

Nian is quite fun in ancient China's festival vessels, Nian refers to the year of the beast, what gongs and drums, firecrackers, are all to drive it away. Therefore, during the Chinese New Year, the lantern festival is also to ward off evil spirits. So, what's wrong with them launching the Town House Sword before the New Year?

No problem!

So, all of a sudden, the streets and alleys spread. People are quite enthusiastic, saying that the largest twelve are not for sale. The medium twelve sells only eight; The small ones should be auspicious for the New Year, and there will be a thousand. Of course, there are a number of finger-sized ones, which are given to children to play with, and customers who come to Xin's house to buy things will be given away.

are all ordinary people, and the kitchen knives of the Xin family are not something they can afford, but for the sake of that little sword, it is better to buy a pair of scissors, so that the New Year is not a play for the children.

There are a lot of people who have this kind of thought, and they all squeezed into the Xin family's shop, Wu Bo was very calm, because Xin Kun had already expected it, and set up an opening at the door, and then invoices one by one, if you have a ticket, you can go in and buy it, and if you don't have a ticket, please be early.

Although it has also driven the economic development of scalpers, there are at least 100 people waiting outside every day in the Xin family's shop anyway. As for saying that there are not so many things to sell, Uncle Li is that fake, the Beijing workshop divided a few people, took them to Zhuangzi in the suburbs, opened a larger workshop, recruited blacksmiths from Fuhe, they beat rough embryos, and the workshops in the capital only do fine processing. In this way, the speed comes up all at once.

The blacksmith shop next door wanted to come and learn, and they went to the workshop for a few months to work, and found a problem, that is, they could not go back. One is that they don't have Xin Kun's mind, and the other is that they don't know the ratio of raw materials for beating things.

The Xin family's workshop is divided into several parts, and as I said before, they collect scrap iron and scrap copper in the whole capital, as long as your family doesn't want it, and it is metal, their family collects it. Therefore, the Xin family's scrap iron shop is also famous in Beijing;

The second workshop is the Casting Workshop. The shop that collects scrap iron collects all kinds of toys, and there is a master who specially classifies them. After sorting the categories, they were sent to the casting workshop.

The melting and casting workshop is easy to understand, melting the same kind of melted to remove impurities and cast into metal blocks one by one. Iron is iron and copper is copper. There are also miscellaneous ones, and those who don't know the classification at all melt into water and turn into ingots, as for what they are, let's go back and talk about it.

The third workshop is a forging workshop. In fact, only Xin Ye and Xin Kun are always here, and some special things, such as the experiments they did on copper and steel alloys before, were done here. Here, they do the proportioning, and then the special materials are sent to two large workshops in the city and the countryside to be made into all sorts of things that have already been designed.

So those self-motivated blacksmiths figured out the process, and they stopped competing with the Xin family. Some of them returned to their hometowns to be ordinary blacksmiths in frustration, while others were more optimistic and really stayed. Anyway, if I go back, I won't be able to become a first-class master, so in a first-class workshop, I will become a master.

The Xin family dared to make things in large quantities this time, in fact, because the Xin family has completed the integration of its own industrial chain and can now produce it.

Cai Guan went home after the Xinkun Township test, he had been listening to the song of the flower child ghost for several days, he read it once or twice, twisted the horse's head, and turned to the east gate. He knew that Xin Kun liked to make money, but it was a bit too much to call it so that everyone on the street knew about the Xin family's sword.

When he arrived at Xin's house, he threw the horse rope and was about to go to the back house, when he raised his eyes, Xin Kun was sitting in the lobby. This lazy guy, except for the workshop, can sit and never stand at other times. I was able to lie down and never sit, but now I am in the lobby.

"What's wrong?" Cai Guan really didn't regard himself as an outsider, nor did he look at others, and looked directly at Xin Kun, who was sitting at the top.

"Teacher!" Xin Kun stood up honestly and waved at Cai Guan.

Cai Guan still had a little bit of happiness that came too suddenly, and looked back at the next person who was sitting, a fat man was a little familiar, and a pair of middle-aged men and women behind him didn't know each other.

"Acquaintance?" Cai Guan sat down where Xin Kun had just sat down.

Xiao An immediately called someone to bring tea, "Lord Cai, those two are my in-laws, and Lord Li in front is my mother-in-law's cousin." ”

"Lord Cai, this officer serves in the Ministry of War." The cousin in front of him arched his hand at Cai Guan.

"Oh, it's a little familiar, which department are you?" Cai Guan smiled and arched his hand back, looking like that, it didn't look like the official position.

"This officer is in the Quartermaster Division."

"Oh, I'm not familiar." Cai Guan pulled the corners of his mouth, the highest sixth grade of the Quartermaster Department under the military department, even if this is the director, it is only the sixth grade, the same level as himself, and glanced back at Xin Kun, "How much money did you give to the flowers?" Let them stop singing, it's annoying! ”

"The students only gave money for three days, and these days were spontaneous to them, and they really didn't instruct them." Xin Kun almost didn't swear. How did she know that Hanako was so dedicated now!

"Then give them money and stop singing!" Cai Guan roared.

"Cheng Chengcheng, I'll tell Xianggong right away, let them stop immediately." Xiao An hurriedly got up and ran outside, basically, she really didn't want to stay here anymore, and was looking for a chance to go out.

"Oh, I'm sorry, this kid is still a child, and he can't do it without scolding. Makes you laugh! Cai Guan arched his hand at the elder and smiled, "That, you are also a parent, the old lady and Uncle Li are not at home, Cai can be regarded as the master, dare to ask the three of you who came to the Xin family what is the matter?" ”

"It's fine!" The director glanced at Xin Kun standing next to him and smiled dryly.

"Everyone is a relative, my cousin wanted to buy a gentleman's sword and give it away, but you, the student, didn't sell it, but we had to buy it with real money."

"How do you explain that?" Cai Guan glanced sideways at Xin Kun and said lightly.

"Before you could do it, you came." Xin Kun said he was innocent.

"Lord Li, they are ignorant grass people, we don't have the same knowledge as them, this time the twelve town house swords, only the gentleman's sword is a double sword, those two swords are given to the emperor and the queen's mother, you say, do the Xin family dare to sell it to you? Therefore, there is no gentleman's sword in ordinary small swords. Cai Guan arched his hand at the other party in the palace, "So, don't listen to people's instigation." If you want to send the military department's superiors, this official recommends that you use Chengying, which is light and elegant, and Liezi has praised it. ”
