Chapter Eighty-Three: The King Blacksmith of the Village
Khufu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I know that you have more than ten days to go to Beicheng, so I will speed up and cast this dark iron for Lu Fei as soon as possible." Hearing this, Lan Yi and Lu Fei were moved, Lu Fei stepped forward and said: "Thank you Uncle Hu, you see what work you need my help with in the family recently, just say" Hu Fu hurriedly shook his hand and said: "There is no work at home, hehe" At this time, Wang Fenglan, who was next to him, said: "Are you knocked unconscious by striking iron? The wood at home is not enough to burn, you let the apprentices rest, who will chop the wood, is it possible that you still let me go to this woman's house?"
Hu Fu smiled bitterly, Lan Yi knew this Wang Fenglan's temper, so he smiled at Lu Fei and said, "We have wrapped these woods, although it takes a long time to split these pushing woods." But being idle is also idle, Aunt Wang doesn't have to worry."
Hearing that Lan Yi took the initiative to stop this work, Wang Fenglan was also relieved, but after the most reluctance, she added: "You can do it, but I don't have the salary to pay you."
Lan Yi and Lu Fei just looked at each other and smiled, Lan Yi was very familiar with Wang Fenglan, it can be seen from the incident in Ping'an Town that Wang Fenglan is not a brainless person, I believe that if there is no Wang Fenglan behind his back to assist Khufu, his business may not be able to do so much. Thinking of this, Lan Yi smiled and said: "Aunt Wang, don't worry, we don't want money" After speaking, Lan Yi and Lu Fei walked towards the pile of wood, originally every day the gate of the Khufu family compound was open, but because Khufu announced that he would stop all work in the near future, now the gate is closed, and a few sneaky people who turned their heads at Khufu's house immediately ran towards the depths of the alley, at this time the Wang blacksmith still stayed at home and sat on his own banana chair drinking tea, at this time several disciples suddenly ran into the house and said: "Master, there is news"
The sudden shout choked the blacksmith Wang, who was drinking water, and the blacksmith kept coughing, put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and kicked the disciple who ran in to speak, and the disciple who was kicked looked inexplicable, and kept looking at his companion and said: "Master, what is wrong with the disciple?
Originally, one foot went up to let the king blacksmith dissipate a lot of anger, but the disciple in front of him said this, and the fire that fell down rose again, so he stepped down again, and the king blacksmith seemed to be dizzy by the disciple in front of him, after the second foot went down, followed by the third foot and the fourth foot, the king blacksmith said while holding the disciple: "How did I raise a person like you, didn't I say that no matter what happens, don't panic, can you be calm, look at you like that"
At this time, the disciple suddenly realized after hearing the blacksmith Wang, and then hugged the blacksmith's stretched legs and said loudly: "Master, the disciple remembers, the disciple remembers, you always extinguish the fire first, I have good news."
Hearing the good news from the disciple's mouth, the blacksmith Wang also stopped his movements temporarily, pushed the disciple away and sat on the banana chair again, and when he saw the blacksmith Wang sitting firmly, the disciple said slowly: "Master, it seems that Khufu has announced that the work has been stopped recently, and now the doors are closed."
"Oh, how do you know the truth?" said the blacksmith.
"Back to Master, a few of their disciples went out to buy something this morning, and I overheard it," the disciple said truthfully.
At this time, the blacksmith Wang was clever, so he got up and said: "Ha Luha, the rabbit door dart game is really reliable, really reliable, go and follow me to Khufu's place to greet him" After speaking, the king blacksmith took a few of his disciples and walked towards Khufu's house, close to noon, Khufu also put down the work in his hand, and said to Wang Fenglan beside him: "It's almost time to eat, you go and prepare, let's eat with Lan Yi and them in a while"
Wang Fenglan, who was squatting on the ground and kept fanning the wind, did not say a word this time and went directly into the house to prepare a meal, Khufu saw that Lan Yi and Lu Fei were chopping firewood there, and hurriedly greeted him and signaled to put the work first, and drink some water first in the house, Lan Yi and Lu Fei were not polite, and just stood up, at this time, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open, and the two young men dressed as servants who entered the door first, dressed in white linen clothes, stood on both sides of the gate with their heads bowed after pushing the door, and a person who came in behind him was about the same age as Khufu, only to see this person, his eyes were hideous, his eyes were like a cow, his face was full of beard, Tian had a big belly, and his hands were on his back, Slowly walked in, this person is Blacksmith Wang, Blacksmith Wang looked at the scene in the courtyard, and said with a smile: "Master Hu, I didn't think that our scale has expanded, and the manpower has also expanded, these two little friends have just been recruited recently" Obviously, Blacksmith Wang regarded Lan Yi and Lu Fei in the courtyard as Khufu's disciples, and saw the blacksmith Wang who suddenly visited. Khufu was stunned, because everyone in Beicun knew that the king blacksmith and Khufu were not in harmony, the reason was that Khufu's blacksmithing skills were higher than that of the king blacksmith, and the king blacksmith had been jealous for a long time, so although the two families were not far apart, they never came to the door, to be honest, Khufu did not have much prejudice against the king blacksmith. Although Blacksmith Wang is not so friendly to himself, Khufu feels that he needs to leave a bottom line for each other, so he never cares about the gossip in the village, hearing Blacksmith Wang's words, Khufu also took off his work clothes, walked to Blacksmith Wang's side and said with a smile: "They are not my disciples, they are my guests"
Hearing Khufu's answer, the blacksmith Ha Lu laughed: "Good guest, is it true that Master Hu's hospitality is to let the guests work?
Hearing the other party's sarcastic words, Khufu didn't get angry, but said slowly: "They are really my guests, and I don't need to lie to you, so I don't know what happened to Master Wang's visit this time?"
Blacksmith Wang was no longer entangled in the question of whether he was a guest, and asked directly: "I happened to pass by your house today, but I saw that your house was locked, and I was worried that there was something wrong with Master Hu's house, so I came in to take a look,"
Khufu also heard what the other party meant, so he said with a smile: "Master Lao Wang is bothered, my family has recently come to visit, so I have been entertaining guests, and my work has been suspended."
At this time, Wang Fenglan, who was cooking, heard the conversation in the courtyard, and also walked out, as soon as she saw the Wang blacksmith in the courtyard, Wang Fenglan directly raised a high voice: "I said that Wang blacksmith, you are not at home and honestly striking iron, what do you come to my house to do?"
Seeing Wang Fenglan's appearance, Blacksmith Wang squinted his eyes again and laughed and said, "Isn't this Wang's loud voice, why is it so good lately?"
Wang Fenglan became angry when she saw the villain's expression on Blacksmith Wang, so she said: "What Wang has a loud voice, what is it good lately, what should I do with you!"
