Chapter 64: The Left Blacksmith

When Aunt Cai saw Qian Yu, she hurriedly ran over and grabbed him and said, "Master, you're here!" Come on, let me introduce you, this is the new county leader of our county, Lord Bai! ”

"Lord Bai, this is my master, what you eat is called flower chicken, he taught me to make it."

Bai Jingfei turned his head, and when he saw Qian Yu's appearance clearly, his face was surprised and stunned, he pointed at the fat woman, and then pointed at Qian Yu: "You are master and apprentice?" Do you still cook? ”

Bai Jingfei's words were a little incoherent, Aunt Cai was at a loss when she heard it, but Qian Yu understood very well: "Oh, I used to live alone, it's not unusual to cook a few side dishes, right?" ”

Bai Jingfei immediately gave a thumbs up: "Brother Qian, I didn't expect you to not only write poems well, but also cook so well, cow!" ”

Qian Yu was a little embarrassed: "I understand a little, a little." ”

Bai Jingfei pointed to the clothes on his body: "If you want to call Lord Bai, this official is the county and county leader!" ”

Qian Yu......

Aunt Cai then understood: "Yo, you two have known each other for a long time, you talk, I'll cook a few more specialty dishes!" ”

Bai Jingfei pointed to the opposite side and said very casually: "Sit down, it just so happens that the official still has questions for you." ”

Since Bai Jingfei didn't mind, Qian Yu naturally wouldn't be polite, he asked Xiao Hegu and the two to sit down at will, and he sat next to Bai Jingfei.

"Lord Bai, you don't seem to be an official in the Ding family a few days ago, right? How did it go so fast? ”

It's no wonder that Qian Yu is puzzled, the county is the second-in-command in the county, equivalent to the current county magistrate, second only to the county officials.

Of course, in ancient times, the county order was very authoritative, and the county was only a deputy, but he didn't have to go through the imperial examination, and if he wanted to rise to this position within a month, it was not something that ordinary people could do. Bai Jingfei's father, Yin Qianyu of Datong Mansion, has heard of it more or less, and his official reputation is good, so he will not easily arrange such a high position for his son.

Bai Jingfei said: "Actually, this is thanks to you. At that time, you helped me win the first place at Xinru's birthday banquet, and when I went home and told the old man, the old man immediately decided to give me an official position, so that the official could get the moon first. I'll stay here for a long time in the future, you hurry up and write some poems, fifty taels of silver, and this lord will buy them all! ”

Qian Yu sweated one, for him who was short of silver, of course he hoped to do some part-time work to earn some extra money, but he knew Bai Jingfei's purpose of buying poetry, even if he made 10,000 hands of peerless good poems, I am afraid that Ding Xinru would not pay attention to him.

Qian Yu likes to make money, but he knows what money can be made and what money can't be made, a guy like Bai Jingfei who can be a county magistrate with a casual sentence is better to be honest: "Lord Bai, I don't think Miss Ding may like poetry, last time we won the first place, shouldn't she still regret her marriage?" In my opinion, it would be more realistic to think of something else. ”

Bai Jingfei sighed: "I don't know that poetry can't move her, but this is the best way I know." Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the poems are useless to her, she can help her son become famous, and maybe she can attract the eldest lady of other families to take the initiative to give her a hug! ”

Qian Yu......

He always thought that Bai Jingfei was obsessed with Ding Xinru and belonged to the standard brainless fan, but now he understands that this guy's behavior is more like beating rabbits with grass, and he cares about the process of beating rabbits, not the rabbits themselves.

Since the words are clear, Qian Yu is also relieved, it is a fool not to make money, he wrote two poems casually, and received a hundred taels of remuneration, and Aunt Cai, who came over with new dishes, straightened her eyes.

She stood next to Bai Jingfei and flattered for a long time, her old waist was about to bend and break, so she got five taels of silver, and her cheap master wrote a few words casually, and she got a hundred taels properly, why is the gap between people so big!

Bai Jingfei, who got two new poems, didn't have time to eat, so he ran away happily, and Qian Yu estimated that his biggest possibility was to go to Ding's house to show off.

Looking at the table full of dishes, he was not polite, and took the two little guys to sweep the wind and clouds, and the eating was embarrassing, and the guests at the next table looked sideways.

Aunt Cai saw that Qian Yu had finished eating, so she got down to business: "Master, I heard Boss Yue say that you want to find a blacksmith Zuo?" ”

Qian Yu was stunned: "Have you seen him?" ”

Aunt Cai smiled: "Of course, I know that the master is looking for him, and the old body has been helping you keep an eye on it, come with me!" ”

Is this nowhere to find when stepping on iron shoes? Qian Yu was suddenly overjoyed, this apprentice didn't seem to admit it in vain!

To his surprise, Blacksmith Zuo was only a young man in his twenties, and at this moment he was holding a sledgehammer and striking the red-hot iron knife. Bang bang bang, three hammers down, the iron knife that was originally broken in two was magically glued together.

The sledgehammer was thrown aside, replaced with a triangular rub, and shook back and forth twice, the bulge that appeared due to the forced twisting disappeared, and he shook vigorously with his hand, and found that the blade of the knife was all integrated, so he threw it into the water next to him.

Five seconds later, the iron knife cooled to room temperature, emitting a dark light, and the knife was fished out at will and handed it to the aunt in line: "Chenghui Sanwen!" ”

Behind the aunt was a man with an iron pot on his back, and the blacksmith on the left didn't speak, grabbed the iron pot and looked at it, frowned and said, "I can't do this job, you can ask for another master!" ”

The man was stunned: "Blacksmith Zuo, you are the highest blacksmith in the entire Qingfeng County, if you can't do it, who should I invite?" ”

The blacksmith gave him a blank look: "You throw the iron pot into the yard at will, it's windy and rainy, and all the rust on it is small holes, a hole is a penny, how much do you calculate?" When I say I can't make it up, I mean you buy a new one and take it! ”

The man squatted down and counted for a long time, and the more he counted, the paler his face became, and finally he sighed and left a little unwillingly.

At the same time, the blacksmith Zuo had already begun to repair the shovel for another guest, and looking at the long queue behind him, Qian Yu was not in a hurry, and stood in the back honestly to line up.

waited for three incense sticks before it was Qian Yu's turn.

Aunt Cai on the side said in a timely manner: "Xiao Zuo, this is my master." For the sake of my frequent business introductions! ”

Blacksmith Zuo rolled his eyes: "I repair ironware, relying on years of hard work, no two prices!" ”

"You ......"

Thinking of this person's movement like flowing water, Qian Yu smiled: "It doesn't matter, as long as I can type what I need, the price is up to you." ”

Blacksmith Zuo stared at Qian Yu deeply, and said for a long time: "Tell me what you want to do, right?" As long as you think about it, there is nothing I can't do. ”

Qian Yu took out a few drawings from his arms and carefully explained them to Blacksmith Zuo. The blacksmith listened carefully, but his brows became tighter and tighter, and finally he twisted it directly into a line: "I'm sorry, what you want is too harsh, I can't do it." ”

In order to improve the efficiency of salt well water intake as much as possible, Qian Yu took out the manual well used in the countryside in the eighties and nineties, and Qian Yu's best solution was a hand-cranked self-priming pump, but because he could only rely on manpower, the hand-cranked thing may not be labor-saving, and the process was complicated, so he chose a more easy-to-make kill well.

But it's such a simple thing, Qian Yu couldn't help it after finding many people. Because whether it is the connection of the pressure rod or the production of the suction cup, it is required to be extremely fine.

He was about to give up, but the rooster reminded him that there was a very powerful blacksmith in Qingfeng County, but this person was mysterious and abnormal, except for the big bazaar, he was usually not seen at all.
