240. Angry eyes
The various workshops in the city of Highlandsa are basically concentrated in the southwest corner of the city.
This is the lowest place in the city, with dozens of chimneys erected among the workshops.
Surdak rode to a blacksmith shop, the owner of which was shirtless, with a leather apron tied to his body, and a small hammer in his hand, hammering a sickle incessantly.
The room was hot with a fire, and one side of the blacksmith's shop was covered with weapons and farming tools, and some shelves were filled with iron.
When the blacksmith shop owner saw Surdak walk in, he handed the hammer in his hand to his assistant, then straightened up and asked Surdak, "Knight, what do you need?" Repair weapons or nail horseshoes? ”
Surdak did not find the iron parts he needed on the wall, so he took out the hinges, deadbolts, and nails and placed them on the table, and asked the blacksmith shopkeeper, "Do you have these things here?" ”
The blacksmith shop owner only glanced at it and replied, "Well, yes." ”
After saying that, he walked into the shelf area, took out the goods inside and placed them on the table, and introduced Surdak: "Lord Knight, if this kind of hinge is installed on the door, it is necessary to choose a larger one, the price is twenty copper plates, and the window can be slightly smaller, the price is fifteen copper plates, this kind of door bolt is eighteen copper plates, and the iron nails are sold by catties, twelve copper plates a pound." ”
Surdak calculated how many nails could be bought for a gold coin, which was probably more than 800 pounds.
He looked down at the three gold coins in his hand, if he only bought these three kinds of iron parts, I am afraid that the whole village will be renovated, and these iron parts will not be used up.
When the old village chief made these decisions, he probably didn't realize that these salamanders could sell for so much money, so he changed his mind temporarily, and saw that there were tools such as sickles, hoes, hammers, saws, and axes hanging on the walls of the blacksmith shop, and thought to himself, or else he would buy them more or less......
When Surdak came out of the blacksmith's shop, the blacksmith shopkeeper had brought out two large wooden boxes and piled them up in front of the shop.
The blacksmith shop owner enthusiastically followed out, and saw that Surdak was coming on only one horse, and there was no carriage parked at the door.
The blacksmith shop owner felt that this taciturn knight had bought so many things, almost all the farm tools in the shop, and he didn't negotiate the price of anything, as long as he quoted the price, he would buy a few, which made the blacksmith shop owner feel that he should be more attentive when he met such a customer.
Seeing Surdak frowning at the sight of the two large boxes of ironware, he thought to himself: It seems that this knight has encountered a problem, and he did not think about the transportation problem at all before buying it.
The old blacksmith said respectfully, "Lord, where do you plan to send these goods, our shop can hire a carriage for you, and we will ensure that they will be delivered on time." ”
Surdak was worried about how to get the goods away, and when he heard the blacksmith shopkeeper say this, he was overjoyed and said to the blacksmith shopkeeper, "Do you still have such a service in your shop?" This will really save me a lot of trouble, please send these goods to the village of Wall, and I will pay for the freight. ”
The shop guy couldn't help but complain in his heart: Of course there is no such service in ordinary times, but of course you can have a big customer like you.
The blacksmith shop owner saluted Surdak and said earnestly, "I am very happy to serve you, Lord Knight!" ”
Seeing that the blacksmith shop owner was able to do business like this, Surdak temporarily thought that if he wanted to build a cistern in the village in the future, cement alone would not be enough, and the poured cement wall should have steel bars in it, so that the embankment of the cistern would appear stronger.
He said to the blacksmith shopkeeper, "Oh, by the way, can you make iron bars here?" It's about the thickness of a little finger. ”
With a bitter expression on his face, the blacksmith explained to Surdak:
"Lord Knight, the cost of hand-hammered iron bars will be very high, the iron bars on the general market are rolled, this rolling process is only owned by large blacksmith workshops, as far as I know, there is a blacksmith workshop in Bena City that specializes in rolling iron bars and iron plates, and the steel trading firm in Highlandsa City acts as an agent for these goods, you can go there to find it, if you can't find a suitable one, you can customize it by hand."
"Oh, it turns out that there are still rolled iron bars, so I'll go to the trading house to have a look." Surdak nodded and responded.
When he came to the Workshop area, Surdak found that the industrial base of this world was not bad at all, if it probably belonged to the level of the steam industry era, but the people of the Grimm Empire did not attach much importance to industry, they valued magic items more.
In the Grimm Empire, the value of an ordinary magic item is very expensive, and magic has affected people's lives.
The airport dock of the city of Hylanza was built on the top of a hill, and from a distance, you could see a magical airship moored there.
The trading house in the city of Hailanza is located on the main street in the city, the location is very easy to find, the female reception in the trading house is very warm, the people are also very beautiful, always like to put the excessive burden on Surdak's body, but the process of buying steel is very smooth, only need to explain the specifications and quantities you need, after the business house gives the corresponding quotation, Surdak pays half of the deposit, and after a month, these finger-thick steel bars will be sent to the village of Wall.
When Surdak came out of the trading house, he realized that the whole afternoon was about to pass.
A magical caravan thinking about silver trails drove through the street, and the carriage of the magic caravan was emblazoned with a sun and a golden mask.
Surdak stopped and waited for the magic caravan to pass before he walked across the street, took back the Guborai horse, which was about to gnaw on the bark, and rode slowly towards the hotel.
……
A magic caravan studded with silver ornaments was parked next to a jewelry shop at the crossroads, and the coachman waited quietly in the driver's seat.
Darcy. Christie sat in the magic caravan, one hand supporting her chin, and through the glass window of the delicately polished carriage, she saw the knight walking away slowly, he looked leisurely, his red lips drew a graceful arc, she did not expect to meet him in the city of Highlandsa.
Trust Cole. Norton will be happy to hear the news.
I didn't expect that I would have such a big harvest when I went home this time, Darcy. Christie poured herself a glass of golden cider and raised her glass to the background of the knight on horseback...... Then he drank the wine in one gulp.
'Hehe, since I'm back in the city of Highlandsa, I'll treat you well!' 'Darcy. Christie thought to herself.
……
And Surdak, who was walking down the street, was privately researching what was sold in these shops, and he didn't notice a pair of young eyes with resentment staring at him in a magic caravan on the side of the street......
