Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and on the streets of the entire Youzhou City, early in the morning, there are basically few people during this time period.

The soldiers defending the city still stuck to their posts, and when Zhang Tie entered the city gate, the soldier only looked at Zhang Tie twice, and without even interrogating, he let Zhang Tie enter Youzhou City.

Generally speaking, there are two kinds of people who will hold this kind of ceremony, one is an important person in the unofficial civil organization of Taixia, these characters will hold such a ceremony when they retire, representing the past things and grievances, and the second is some of the senior professionals in Taixia, such as swordsmiths, rune refiners, appraisers, etc., These people hold a golden basin handwashing ceremony, which means that they will never return to their old business in the future, and they have the meaning of sealing the knife and returning to hiding.

And whether it is the first type of people or the second type of people, they all have one thing in common, that is, the people who can hold the golden basin handwashing ceremony are famous and admired in the local area or in the industry. If it's an ordinary cat or dog, wash your fart hands, don't do it, don't do it, slap your ass and leave, naturally no one will worry about him.

Wang Wu is the head snake of Youzhou City, the altar master who washes his hands in the golden basin in the mouth of this head snake, the person who can know his movements in time and can let the Zuo Protector give Wang Wu the Brain Crushing Pill, naturally in this Youzhou City, if that person is in other counties, their reaction speed cannot be so fast.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it is the beginning of a new era of 900 years in the Black Iron Calendar, I have to say. It was indeed a good day to wash your hands.

……

Zhang Tie was like a walk, strolling alone through the streets of Youzhou City. The map of Youzhou City appeared in his mind, some of the areas on those maps. was being removed from Zhang Tie's mind piece by piece, and Zhang Tie's pace followed the optimal route sorted out in his brain in an instant, slowly wandering through the remaining areas.

Although the city of Youzhou is large, the planning of the city is very organized, except for the Jiatian planting area, the seat of government agencies, and then the ordinary residential areas and industrial and commercial concentration areas, the rest of the place. It's not that big.

Today's snow has stopped, the sun is starting to show a small smile in the sky, and the weather is good.

Zhang Tie walked alone in Youzhou City for more than two hours before he knew that he had found it.

That place, less than fifteen kilometers away from Huaiyuan Hall, leans on Fengyang Lake in Youzhou City, the lake is ten miles of willow embankment, and the surrounding scenery is good, here. It is also a place where the rich in Youzhou City are concentrated, and what attracted Zhang Tie's attention was a very prominent manor in this wealthy area, just that manor and courtyard. There is almost an area of more than 700 acres, and the vermilion high wall outside the manor occupies one-third of the street outside.

Celebrate the New Year. And just after dawn, many shops are not open today. And even outside this manor, there was already a lot of traffic. A large number of neatly dressed servants began to work outside to receive the guests. There were also airships that flew directly into the airship landing field behind the manor, landed, sent people down, and then flew away again.

The entire Youzhou City is the most lively here today.

"Today is the day when the lord washes his hands in the golden basin, there are not a thousand but eight hundred guests who come, they are all characters with heads, faces and identities, everyone is excited, don't go wrong, and when you are busy today, the left housekeeper said, everyone will be rewarded with three gold coins." A person who looked like a steward shouted angrily at the side door outside the manor, and the servants of the commander sent the prepared ingredients from outside into the kitchen of the mansion from the side of the cart, and this golden basin was washed to the back, naturally the guests could not be allowed to watch your performance with an empty belly, and it was reasonable for the people in the back to eat and drink and drink together, "Are they back to Jiang Si, who went to Linjiazhuang to pull fresh venison?" ”

"Not yet?"

"Take two people along the road to have a look, run faster, the back kitchen is still waiting, there are two dishes tonight that use venison and deer blood, don't delay!"

"Yes!"

Just hearing this, Zhang Tie turned his footsteps and walked into a teahouse next to him.

The livelihood of this teahouse, just like a tavern restaurant, even if it is a big New Year, it is still open to make money, and it is open for business, Zhang Tie came here not too early or too late, but there are already many people in the teahouse.

Those people gathered in a circle around the courtyard in the teahouse, eating refreshments in the teahouse, eating melon seeds and peanuts, listening to a man in a robe and a horse coat on the middle of the teahouse in front of a small table holding a fan and telling a story.

And the courtyard, the roof is half sealed, light and breathable but not leaking and snowing, and there are some green plants in the patio that are full of vitality, listening to stories in this kind of place, it is also a unique taste.

Of course, many people were also looking at the pomp and circumstance of the manor outside, and then talking about the things in the manor not far from the outside, either quietly or with a little amazement.

"Guest, welcome, welcome, inside, please!"

As soon as Zhang Tie walked into the teahouse, a spirited junior in the teahouse immediately walked up with a smile on his face and greeted Zhang Tie warmly.

Zhang Tie's hand moved, and he directly flicked a silver coin over.

"Find me a quiet private room upstairs, less disturbed, and then bring me some good refreshments!"

Xiao Er Lisuo grabbed the silver coin, then twisted his neck, and said in his throat, "The private room of Tianzi No. 17 on the third floor, there is a distinguished guest!" ”

Zhang Tie went directly to the third floor, and another junior came to the staircase to greet him, directly welcomed him to a private room on the third floor a little far from the patio, opened the door of the private room, and brought Zhang Tie in.

This private room is more than 20 square meters, with a soft seat coffee table, and a window in the room, facing the manor outside, Zhang Tie is very satisfied.

"Guest, what would you like to come?"

"You guys have the tea and refreshments here, just look at it, just have one!" Seriously, Zhang Tie, who came to this kind of entertainment place in Taixia for the first time, didn't know what to order, but just commanded vaguely.

"Okay, look at your face, you are the first time to come to our teahouse, the consumption of this private room in our teahouse is different from the outside seat, here you have to charge an extra 50 copper per hour for the private room fee, you can stay here until the teahouse closes without a problem, this, first make it clear to the guest officer, our teahouse is honest management, Tong Su is not bullied!"

"Okay, no problem, go ahead!"

Xiao Er left, and then after a short time, he came to the room with a pot of tea and a few sauces of refreshments, and after setting up these things, he asked Zhang Tie what else he needed, and when he saw Zhang Tie nodding, he retreated, and helped Zhang Tie close the door of the private room.

Zhang Tie leisurely took a piece of refreshment, while eating, while listening to the discussion of those people in the teahouse, and when the refreshments on the plate were finished, the discussion he heard was similar, Zhang Tie finally knew what kind of origin was the "altar master of Tongtian Sect" who was here today.

The person who washed his hands here today is surnamed Jiang, and everyone calls him Old Man Jiang, this person is not a nobody in Youzhou, and even in the entire Northeast Governor's Mansion.

In the mouth of the guests of the teahouse, this old man Jiang was born in a family of blacksmiths, and since the age of eight he has been helping his father in the blacksmith shop, and he has shown a very high casting talent since he was a child, and when he grows up, he became an apprentice of a craftsman at the age of twelve, and became a craftsman at the age of sixteen, and his skills surpassed his father's, and when he was twenty years old, he became a copper hammer maker, and then in the remaining hundred years, the old man Jiang continued to advance from the copper hammer master, and went further and further on the road of the rune refiner, and became a silver hammer master step by step. Golden hammer master, Mithril master master, secret talisman master master, forty years ago, Old Man Jiang was an advanced master craftsman.

A person who advances to a master craftsman on the path of a rune refiner is a famous person no matter where he is, even in Taixia, such a person will not be a ring finger.

Before becoming a master craftsman, Mr. Jiang served as a young eunuch in Tongzhou's general supervisor, and after becoming a master craftsman, Jiang Lao Yezi became the general of Tongzhou's general as a supervisor, and took charge of the post of a state general to build, and then worked in the position of Tongzhou general for nearly 20 years, before Mr. Jiang resigned and resigned.

Old Man Jiang has not been idle in the past few years of resignation, but has become more famous, and there are often high-quality products coming out, and because Old Man Jiang is mainly engaged in weapon casting in the rune refiner, especially focusing on sword casting, the people who come to Jiang Lao Ye to build weapons are in an endless stream every day, which also makes Old Man Jiang have formed a lot of popularity over the years, and his reputation has spread farther and farther.

Mr. Jiang's hometown is in Youzhou, and after the city was built in Youzhou, Mr. Jiang also moved to Youzhou City to settle down.

At this moment, most of the industries in the craftsman street in Youzhou City are either owned by Old Man Jiang or by Old Man Jiang's apprentices and grandchildren, and you can imagine Old Man Jiang's influence and influence in Youzhou City.

Last year, Jiang Lao Yezi was 149 years old, and he announced that he would wash his hands in a golden basin this year, and no longer touch the tools of refining and casting, and wanted to cultivate his self and understand the principles of natural heavenly dao, in order to be able to go further in the way of rune refining in his lifetime.

Today is the day when Old Man Jiang held the golden basin handwashing ceremony, and the entire Jiang Mansion is busy.

Master Craftsman - The Zhang family, which is famous for the way of rune refining, has only one master craftsman in the Weiyi subcontinent so far!

Knowing the origin of this person, Zhang Tie's heart instantly became excited, because Zhang Tie knew that this time, he accidentally caught a big fish...... (To be continued......)
