Chapter 121: The blacksmith's shop, the troublesome old man

"By the way, Shi Gaofeng, I forgot to bring liquor when I came, you go buy a few jars tomorrow." Jiang Yang casually ordered: "If we want the liquor produced in Xiami County, we can't buy the wrong one." ”

Although a hundred people were unhappy in his heart, Shi Gaofeng still nodded.

The next day, Jiang Yang didn't sleep lazy, and wandered around the county town early in the morning.

This rock sugar gourd can't be improved, this snack? Well.... I don't know if you want to eat snail noodles and stinky tofu, but you have time to study and study when you go back.

Soon Jiang Yang came to the door of a cloth shop.

Walk in and take a look, the fabric in it is called decent and ugly, and it is an unsightly place.

It's all some coarse fabrics, and some of the best satins feel and texture are average.

Jiang Yang pondered in his heart whether he could still build another textile factory in Xiami County, and turned back to liberate the female labor force in this county.

I arranged to go to the textile factory, which set up a fully automatic loom to speed up production.

Then make some fine silk, and dyes.

Jiang Yang smiled in his heart, and Jiang Yang saw many industries along the way.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation, these are the four things necessary for human survival, start with these industries first, Xiami County, there is a long way to go, and there is still a long way to go.

As he walked, Jiang Yang was suddenly noticed by a commotion.

"This old man has been abducted and deceived all over the world, and he also said that he is a big man."

"It's just that it's disrespectful to be old just to drink some wine."

"Cheating and cheating, why didn't the government arrest this kind of person."

Jiang Yang squeezed through the crowd and looked inside, the place surrounded by the crowd was a blacksmith shop.

The shop is very clean, and there is no fire forging ground in it, it is all some iron tools and farm tools and men who make a living here.

"I said, boy, you can't do this iron, you give me a pot... No... A jar of wine, I'll tell you how to forge it. ”

The man who said this was an old man, who did not seem to have much flesh on his arms and legs, his hair was disheveled, and he still smelled of alcohol.

Pointing to a rake that looked like weeding in front of him, he said, "You're wasting iron by doing this, folding it back and forth twice, it's not hard enough!" This thing has a gap when it hits a rock a few times. ”

The blacksmith guy looked at each other, and he didn't know why this old guy was eyeing his own house.

Isn't it a waste of business to make trouble here?

"Old man, this rake is like this now, after all, is it a tool, just continue to buy it if it is broken." The guy at this store is polite.

He whispered: "Sir, we don't care about selling it, it's useless for you to tell us, besides, the shopkeeper of our store is not there, and we can't give you the wine, so you don't want to look elsewhere." ”

The onlookers were also discussing in low voices.

"The old gentleman is right, but now someone's rake doesn't break down after a few uses, aren't they all used to it?"

"Yes, the rakes in various blacksmith shops are like this, and this one is okay at the moment."

"Isn't that nothing to do?"

"I think he just deliberately cheated on drinking."

People are always very vigilant and skeptical about things outside of their own cognition, and they don't believe in them in their hearts, this is human nature.

When the old man heard this, a red light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he stood up and waved his fist and said: "Nonsense, the old man has forged iron all his life, and this kind of thing is garbage!" The rake I built is enough for you to use for two or three years without breaking! ”

"Not bad for two or three years? Blow it? ”

"It's really disrespectful to the old man, talking such nonsense."

"Yes."

The productivity of contemporary science and technology is very low, not to mention this farm tool, even the armor worn by soldiers in the army, when you meet that powerful man, you can directly break it with a kitchen knife.

The archer was shot, not to mention wearing armor, it was just as dead.

Jiang Yang frowned and looked at the old man carefully.

He gestured with his hand as he spoke, and Jiang Yang saw that the old man's palms and tiger mouth were covered with calluses, and there were even some muscle memories formed by years of hammering in his movements.

Intuition told Jiang Yang that the old man in front of him should be more than just talking.

But there was still a suspicion in his heart, Jiang Yang had an idea in his heart, and took a step forward with a smile: "Can the old gentleman say if he wants to drink?" Why do you say these unfounded words? ”

"Unnecessary? The rake built by the old man is sturdy and durable for two years and will not break, do you think the old man is blowing? The old gentleman blew his beard and glared, and his eyebrows were about to fly.

"I didn't say that." Jiang Yang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "But there is no rake in this world that can be used for two years, what do you say, old man?" ”

"Let your mother's dog stinky zucchini fart." The old gentleman scolded his mother, and he jumped a little, looking left and right.

Directly picked up the rake placed at the door of the blacksmith shop, and fell directly to the ground without saying a word.

"Click!" With a bang, the rake broke into two pieces.

It wasn't broken from the rod, it was split straight from the iron of the rake.

"This thing, I hit it twice, I don't care at all, how long can you use this thing as thin as paper?"

"And this has never been cold water at all, it is not light at all, and it can't be used at all."

"The old man told you that this thing has been hit more than a dozen times, and when this iron has a pattern, it will be washed in cold water and beaten repeatedly, and although it will be thin at that time, it will be better quality than this thing."

"Boy, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, the old man was ..... back then" The old gentleman suddenly blocked his words when he said this, and snorted coldly: "You want to deceive the old man's forging skills, right?" No way? Swap the wine! ”

I really love to drink.

However, Jiang Yang's eyes were bright, repeatedly forging and cold water, although people don't know what scientific basis there is now, Jiang Yang understands.

If your own steel can be like this, the quality can go up a little.

It seems that this old gentleman is not in vain.

It's just that he's still in trouble right now.

Because he broke one of someone's rakes.

The shopkeeper's eyes widened and he pointed to the rake on the ground and said, "Old man, this thing is ten cents." ”

“?” The old gentleman was stunned for a moment, and the red-faced quarrel just now disappeared in an instant, and he muttered, "No money." ”

"It's not okay if you don't have money, if you don't give money, I'm going to arrest you and send you to the official." The shopkeeper was also speechless, how did he encounter such a strange thing.

"Alright, alright." Jiang Yang stepped forward and said, "I gave this money, doesn't the old gentleman want to drink?" Seeing you today is also fate, I invite you to drink a jar of wine. ”

"Really?"

"A gentleman's words are hard to chase." Jiang Yang gave the money and left with the old gentleman.

The shopkeeper collected the money and shouted: "It's scattered, it's okay, it's all gone." ”
