Chapter 7 Learn to strike iron
Qin Chuan really didn't expect that after saying goodbye to the old man, he would encounter a carriage on the flat avenue, and he successfully climbed the relationship and sat on it.
The carriage got rid of the potholes on the road, Qin Chuan sat on it, the coachman drove the carriage in front, and Qin Chuan sat in the back carriage and went all the way south.
Although there is snow on the road, the sun has come out, and the snow is slowly melting, and it is hard to say when it will be finished, because it depends on the heat of the sun, but Qin Chuan can be sure that the road conditions are getting better and better along the way.
If the road conditions are good, the carriage will definitely go fast, and especially on the road with ice and snow, for safety, it will definitely go very slowly.
The main thing is that now that the sun is out, the snow is slowly melting, and the more you leave this place, the more you will leave the snow.
In the process of hurrying, Qin Chuan talked with the coachman, and Qin Chuan learned that the coachman's name was Fang Gang, and his family lived in the previous town, and he was only in his thirties.
As soon as Qin Chuan heard Fang Gang say that his family lived in the small town behind, his heart immediately weakened, and he pursed his lips, feeling a little embarrassed.
Because Qin Chuan stayed there last night, he made a case at night and hit a drunk person.
Now that this Fang Gang said that he lived there, Qin Chuan secretly said that the person who was beaten by him had no connection with this Fang Gang, and there was no relationship between relatives and friends, otherwise, it would be really a little embarrassing.
But this is just Qin Chuan's worry, where could there be such a coincidence, it just so happened that the person Qin Chuan hit was someone Fang Gang knew.
Qin Chuan thought so, and immediately dispelled this concern, feeling that there was nothing left, and there was no need to be suspicious.
In the same way, the coachman Fang Gang also knew some basic information about Qin Chuan, and the two of them had a preliminary acquaintance.
Qin Chuan is going to Liangzhou in the south to make a living, while Fang Gang is going to Liangzhou to do business, Fang Gang opened his own grain store in Liangzhou, doing rice business, but the store is very small, just a small shop, no scale, that is, a barely subsistence business.
"If my brother doesn't dislike it, when I get to Liangzhou, I can go to my rice shop to help, and I will definitely not treat my brother badly." Fang Gang said while driving.
But Qin Chuan is a stubborn temper, a tendon, what he believed, the emperor Lao Tzu came, and he said that he couldn't change it, he was bent on finding an iron shop that accepted apprentices, and he wanted to learn how to make iron from others.
"I understand Brother Fang's kindness, but I still decided to learn how to strike iron from others, and I will also open my own blacksmith shop in the future, which is my ideal." As soon as Qin Chuan talked about his ideals, his face was full of joy.
"Then I can only wish my brother success." Fang Gang didn't say anything anymore.
The carriage drove through the state and county where Funiu Village was located, all the way south, into the next state and county boundary, there was no snow on the road, and it was a flat avenue, so it was much faster.
Along the way, except for the points for lunch, and the points for sleeping at night, and stopping to find a place to eat, sleep and rest, the two of them were all in a non-stop hurry, and the horses had been running for a day, and they also needed to rest and reorganize at night.
In this way, it only took three days to arrive in Liangzhou.
This is what Qin Chuan didn't expect, the carriage would be so fast, and he expected that it would take five or six days at the earliest, and the result would be three days.
Finally arrived in Liangzhou, the largest state and county in the Xia Kingdom, as soon as he arrived in Liangzhou, Qin Chuan was about to come down, and he would no longer trouble Fang Gang.
And Fang Gang really needed to transport a batch of rice grain, so he was no longer polite and put Qin Chuan at the border of Liangzhou City.
Eating, drinking, and living in the hotel along the way, Qin Chuan paid most of the money, and Fang Gang insisted on refusing at first, but Qin Chuan was ambitious, but he didn't want to take other people's cars in vain, and said that he would have to pay for the hotel, so Fang Gang stopped refusing to let Qin Chuan out.
So even if Qin Chuan paid the fare, after getting off the bus, the two of them left separately, and Fang Gang said goodbye to Qin Chuan: "Brother, remember, if you encounter difficulties, go to 'Fang Ji Rice Shop' to find me, not far from here, and you will find it as soon as you ask." ”
"Thank you Brother Fang for your kindness, I got it first." Qin Chuan thanked.
This Liangzhou is really extraordinary, Qin Chuan only saw the endless flow of cars, horses and people everywhere, all kinds of high-style buildings, a shop stretching out more than ten miles away, all kinds of people, all kinds of colorful colors, it is really like the people in the village said, it is a busy traffic, it is a big world of bizarre.
But these have nothing to do with Qin Chuan, or it has little to do with it, Qin Chuan just wants to find an ironsmith shop that is willing to take him in, learn to strike iron from others, and learn a skill, so that he can gain a foothold here, otherwise he will not be able to survive.
In such a big place, Qin Chuan thought, there should be a lot of iron, and there must be apprentices.
So one morning, Qin Chuan was looking for an iron shop everywhere on the street, and when he found it, he asked if he wanted an apprentice?
"Don't, get out!" Most of them are this kind of rushing voices.
I found several blacksmith shops, but they were all vulgar and asked Qin Chuan to get out of here, and if he didn't roll, he would beat people.
Qin Chuan thought to himself, what's the big deal, isn't it just a broken iron, he really treats himself as a green onion, I asked you to give you face, otherwise I would have opened your façade a long time ago, do you think Lao Tzu's three years of fist and foot kung fu were practiced in vain?
said so, but this is just angry talk, how could Qin Chuan go to the façade of others? That's unreasonable, and if you don't want to go to the government to eat in prison.
Finally, I finally found one, that is, Qin Chuan saw a sign hanging at the door of the store, which said "Accept apprentices", Qin Chuan looked at it, his eyes lit up, and he went in to ask.
When I asked like this, sure enough, people wanted apprentices, and when I saw Qin Chuan's five big and three thick figures, and his face was also upright, like a piece of iron, of course I wanted it.
After scrapping the power of nine cows and two tigers, Qin Chuan finally has the master of the grass, and someone wants it, and he can't help but feel a little happy in his heart.
The owner of the blacksmith shop was an old man in his fifties, he had a wife and a daughter, and the daughter was about the same age as Qin Chuan, eighteen or nineteen years old.
But it's hard to put into words, how can you say it? Let's just put it this way, the long one is a little blurry, I can't see clearly, and there is something on my face.
What's the matter? The daughter of the blacksmith shop owner has a birthmark on her face, which is very large, and half of her face is covered by birthmarks, so she said that she can't see clearly.
That's it, isn't the birthmark red, it's not ugly, as long as the person looks good, there are people who want the birthmark.
But the trouble is that she is still ugly, crooked melons and cracked dates, there is no way, it is estimated that she will not be able to marry in this life.
"What's your name?" The blacksmith owner asked.
"Qin Chuan."
"My family's work is a bit hard," the boss touched his rosacea and said, "However, looking at you, you are five big and three coarse, it shouldn't be a problem to do my family's work, and if you want to learn to strike iron, you don't want to contribute, you definitely can't learn." ”
Qin Chuan said: "I am willing to contribute. ”
"That's good, from tomorrow onwards, you can learn to strike iron with me. However, the rules of apprenticeship, you must know that there is no monthly money for the first three years, just food and housing, and after three years, you can get out of the school, and then you can get the monthly money. ”
"No problem."
In this way, Qin Chuan stayed in this blacksmith shop, slept in a firewood room in the backyard of the boss's house at night, and learned to strike iron with the old man with rosacea during the day.
