Chapter 5: 100 years old

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, time has entered October. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On the ninth day of the first month of October, the sky was gloomy, the lead clouds were dense, and the hexagonal snowflakes fluttered and fell, spreading on the earth, covered in silver, and extremely enchanting.

The cold weather blocked the fiery hearts of everyone in the Sword Castle.

Today is the hundredth day of Ou Yan's birth, so the Sword Fort can be described as full of liveliness, the high-walled compound blocks the cold mountain wind, the cooking fire, the steaming heat of the meal dispels the cold of winter, everyone here is busy, in the lobby of the Sword Forge, there are a large number of round tables, on which are placed steaming meals.

Stout men and women of all shapes have begun to take their seats.

......

At this time, in the study room in the side courtyard of the Sword Casting Castle, Han Cang, the head of the Han family of the Sword Casting Castle, Han Cang's second brother Han Tiesheng, as well as Liu Sansheng, the head of the Liu family of another family in the Sword Casting Castle and Liu Hui's father, and several strong men, including Han Tiezhu, sat in the study together, surrounding the central fire, while roasting the fire in the center of the room, while discussing the results of this great sword casting.

"After more than seven or eight months of busy work, I finally cast all the swords, my family, how many swords we have cast in a few months, this has always been your statistics, you tell everyone, how many swords we have cast. How much income and expenditure!" Han Cang was the first to speak

Liu Sansheng listened, took out a thick notebook from his arms, and then opened one of the pages and read: "This time the kingdom sent 10,000 catties of fine iron, cast into a hundred medium-grade long swords with a blade length of three feet, each long sword consumes 13 catties of fine iron, a total of 1,300 catties of refined iron; 100 medium-grade short swords cast into a blade length of two feet, each short sword consumes 8 catties of fine iron, a total of 800 catties of refined iron, and 100 medium-grade hidden swords with a blade length of one foot, each short sword consumes 4 catties of refined iron, a total of 400 catties of refined iron, and a medium-grade sword weapon consumes a total of 2,500 catties of refined iron, and casts 300 handles. ”

Liu Sansheng said, turned the page, and continued to read: "The remaining 7,500 catties of refined iron are all cast with a blade length of two feet and five inches of standard low-grade long swords, each long sword consumes seven catties and five taels of refined iron, and casts a thousand standard long swords. We can get an income of fifty taels of silver for casting a medium-grade sword, and we can get an income of twenty taels of silver for each low-grade longsword, that is to say, we can get thirty-five thousand taels of silver for casting a sword castle this time. ”

Liu Sansheng flipped through the pages of the booklet in his hand, and continued to count and read: "This time the kingdom also sent 100,000 catties of other metals, ten high-grade swords, sixty-three middle-grade swords, and five thousand three hundred low-grade swords, and the rest are not high-quality swords, and the military department does not accept them, so we can digest them ourselves, and the top-grade swords are two hundred taels of silver, and the middle-grade ones are still fifty taels of silver. For the twenty taels of the lower grade, we can get 111,150 taels of silver, we have to pay taxes of 10,000 taels of silver, and compensate for the metal expenses of the military department, and finally we have 100,150 taels of silver, and then we will divide 70,000 taels of silver into the swordsmith in the city, and I can cast 30,150 taels of silver in the swordsmith fort. One hundred and fifty taels of silver have been put into the city by me as incense money. Also, this sword casting cost 20,000 taels of silver!"

"That is to say, I cast the Sword Castle, and this time the net income is 45,000 taels of silver, 3,100 unqualified long swords, and hundreds of waste swords, all of which have been invested in the Sinking Sword Pool. Finally, Liu Sansheng concluded.

"Okay, these 45,000 taels of silver are enough to support my living needs for three years in Sword Forge, and I can also buy a batch of wood, a batch of refined iron, and other metals for my usual smelting and casting. In-laws, you need to procure this. Also, leave some silver, exchange it for gold, put a pound of gold and ten pounds of silver in the treasury, and reserve it. After Liu Sansheng finished his report, Han Cang instructed again, and then said to a few strong men: "You are the representatives of all swordsmiths, and you must tell them today's results!"

"Okay, we got it!" Liu Sansheng and a few strong men replied, and after finishing business, everyone was obviously relaxed.

"There's no hurry about this, today is my grandson's 100-year-old, let's go to the lobby to see, there are many people, and all the swordsmiths are still here, after the meal, everyone is talking together, by the way, wait for that kid to be 100 years old and finish the week, set the final name, Sansheng family, let's go and see it together!"

"Okay! My little grandson is 100 years old. How can I not go!Let's go, let's go over together!" Liu Sansheng put away the account book and said happily.

Next, several strong men said together: "Then congratulations to the teacher, and Brother Han!" and then said to Han Tiezhu, who was sitting in the crowd with some thoughts.

"Hehe, happy event, happy event!" Han Tiezhu said with a smile, with an uncontrollable smile and happiness on his face.

......

At the same time, Ou Yan, the baby who was discussed by everyone, was enjoying it painfully.

He had already changed seven or eight embraces, and the wrapped cloth revealed a complex rouge smell. With a sad face and a yawn face, she accepted the touch from the third aunt and six mothers-in-law.

"It's so cute, Sister Yue, let me hug the iron egg again," a young woman on the side, at this time, looked at Ou Yan who was being held in a woman's arms with envy, and said to the woman with a flattering face.

The woman's name was Zhao Yue, and she was the wife of Liu Hui's eldest brother, and the young woman was Wang Xue, the wife of Han Tiezhu's younger brother Han Tiesheng, a villager from Wangjia Village next door.

"Okay, good, here you go, Xiaoxue, since you like it, then hurry up and give birth to one!" Zhao Yue looked at Wang Xue with envy on her face, couldn't bear Wang Xue's request, and reluctantly handed Ou Yan in her arms to Wang Xue, and joked at the same time.

Wang Xue hugged Ou Yan, with a hint of envy in her eyes, and then turned into a strong affection, and said: "Sister Yue, this is not a hurry to be born, otherwise my sister-in-law would have been a mother three years ago, and my son may not have been able to forge iron!"

Wang Xue said, looking at Ou Yan, who was yawning constantly in his arms and barely opening his eyes, and said distressedly: "Tie Dan is really good, you see what it looks like to be sleepy, come, good, Tie Dan sleeps, ignore your grandfather, father, second uncle, those bad guys, come, behave, sleep!" said, patting Ou Yan's back and shaking.

Ou Yan, who was already sleepy, was in Wang Xue's arms, and fell asleep after a while.

In the past three months, although Ou Yan has almost eaten and slept and eaten, he has met a few people, one is his grandfather Han Cang, a very kind old man, and then his father Han Tiezhu, a strong man, a little wooden, but very gentle, it can be seen that he is a little afraid of his wife, and almost never says a word heavy, and then his mother Liu Hui is a gentle, beautiful, A virtuous woman, Ou Yan felt that when she married Han Tiezhu, it was really a flower inserted in cow dung, although it was really bad to say that her father was like this.

Then there is his second grandfather, although he has only seen him once, but looking at the second grandfather sitting in front of him with all kinds of grimaces, at first glance it is an old child, and then his second uncle, Ou Yan is almost a little afraid of him, he is an old man who does not cultivate, always teasing himself, Ou Yan can't wait to grow up immediately, put on eighteen pants to protect his little brother, not to suffer from the second uncle's magic hands, and then grow eighteen arms, so that he can also taste the feeling of playing a little jj.

There is also his second aunt Wang Xue, who runs to her house the most diligently, and even dotes on her mother Liu Hui.

There is also the eldest aunt Zhao Yue and the second aunt Song Ling, who also often run here, followed by a little devil, yes, there are two little devils, that is the eldest uncle's youngest daughter and the second uncle's youngest daughter, they are not very old, and they can't walk steadily, but they always want to hug themselves, every time they hear the childish word 'hug', Ou Yan is always full of cold sweat, and then he completely throws away the so-called face, and cries loudly a few times.

However, Sword Forgery should be very busy during this time, so most of the faces Ou Yan has seen are women's faces, and he has never seen the faces of grandma, uncle, second uncle, grandfather, grandmother, etc., I don't know where it is, or if I will miss it with myself every time.

At this time, a large group of people poured into the lobby, led by two old men, and behind them were a group of strong men.

The strong men in the hall all stood up and shouted in unison: "I've seen the castle master!"

"You don't have to be polite, today is my grandson's 100th birthday, all relax, today is mainly a happy and festive picture! Don't be serious!" the leading old man arched his hands along the way and said loudly.

After coming to the main table all the way, Han Cang picked up a glass of wine and said loudly: "Let the guests wait for a long time, the old man is here to punish himself with a glass!"

After lighting up the bottom of the glass, Han Cang poured another glass of wine, and said to an old man sitting in front of him: "It's my fault to let a few old-timers wait for me here, I'll punish myself here again!"

The guests at the table were a little unable to sit still, and the wine was punished before the table was opened.

After pressing his palm down to stabilize the hustle and bustle in the lobby, Han Cang continued: "This third glass of wine, the old man will not punish himself, here, thank you for coming to participate in my grandson's 100th birthday, and finally toast a glass of wine!"

Putting down the wine glass, Han Cang sat down and said to Wang Jin, the housekeeper beside him, "Tell me to go down and start eating!"

The lobby is divided into two parts, the left and right parts, the middle is the aisle, the left table is full of men, the first table is Han Cang, Liu Sansheng and other old people, and the right table is full of women, and the first table is the old women.

After a while, plates, plates, bowls, and pots of food were placed on the table, and the whole lobby seemed to come to life, shouting, laughing, and beaming!

At this time, Ou Yan was hugged by Yahuan Xiaocui in the bedroom and helped change clothes.

Ou Yan slept very deadly, even if he was stripped naked by Yahuan Xiaocui, and then he was put on a piece of stitches densely, and there was no trace of waking up from Baijia, which was sewn with hundreds of rags.

Ou Yan, who was asleep, felt that his nose was blocked, and he was a little angry and wanted to use his hands, but he found that his strength was a little small, and he couldn't shake the claws on his nose at all.

"That bastard won't let me sleep!" he shouted angrily, and Ou Yan struggled to open his sleepy eyes and look at the culprit who had awakened himself.

"Wow wow......" A baby cry interrupted the little master who was pinching Ou Yan's nose. Then came Liu Xingyu, that is, Cousin Ou Yan, and the little witch's happy and triumphant voice: "Sister Xiaocui, look, Tie Dan has woken up, or my method is effective!"

As soon as he heard the voice of this little beauty, Ou Yan's crying suddenly stopped, and his eyes immediately opened, wanting to see if he was in a safe place.

"Okay, Milktooth, let's go to the lobby, your grandfather and they should be in a hurry. Then, Xiao Cui said, picked up Ou Yan, and then took Liu Xingyu, the little witch, and walked towards the lobby of Sword Forge Castle.

Well, is this about to start catching Zhou? After Ou Yan saw that he was picked up by Xiaocui, he completely let go of the heart that he had been carrying, and his heart began to move. Is my next 100 years about to begin?
