The mule team soon arrived.

Huang Litou opened the tarpaulin of the goods, revealing the pitch-black iron, and said: "Here is the iron material needed for ten knives, I heard that Master Lu can make a knife out of 58 catties of iron, and we count it as a knife of 60 catties of iron." ”

"That's six hundred pounds of iron, and the wood you need."

Jia San added: "In ten days, there will be the next car of materials coming, and there will be no mistakes." ”

Lu Qi had already calculated quickly in his heart.

To make a low-grade knife of three catties and five taels normally, at the level he has shown so far, two percent of the amount of iron and three percent of the loss, then fifty-eight catties of iron are needed.

Giving him sixty catties and ten knives is to give him an extra twenty catties of iron, which is equivalent to allowing him to lose a little more.

It seems loose, but it's actually very strict.

But.

Lu Qi himself knows the method of steelmaking and the method of 100 steelmaking, a knife of three catties and five taels only needs eight catties of iron.

Because his iron output can reach about 50%, the loss of construction is not even half of it.

In other words, Lu Qi only needs eighty catties of iron to build ten low-grade knives, and five hundred and twenty catties of iron is more, all of which he earned with his blood!

Of course.

It is impossible for Lu Qi to use the forging method and the method of 100 steel refining to build, or like Brother Dao, he still loses as much as he should during the day.

The night can be counted as his own.

But.

Lu Qi doesn't need half of the day and half of the night.

He can make two or three during the day and seven or eight at night, and put the process of polishing the iron tools made at night to kill time during the day, so that it will not attract attention.

In this way, Lu Qi found that with 600 catties of iron, he could have about 400 catties of iron for his own use.

It's more profitable than creating a low-grade knife for Brother Dao!

Lu Qi was overjoyed, this was a routine he had figured out by himself.

With 400 catties of iron, he used his own forging method and 100 steel-making methods to build the horizontal knife he needed, and it is estimated that he can produce 100 pieces.

Other words.

Lu Qi came down on this trip, just to build ten low-grade knives for the county government, he would be able to get paid for a hundred lower-grade knives!

I was secretly happy in my heart.

Huang Li and Jia San were worried that he would not agree, after all, the time was tight, the task was heavy, and the materials were also strictly deducted, and few blacksmith masters were willing to do it.

It was because Lu Qi was forced by the Lu family to come forward to shelter that they had a chance.

Huang Li took out a bag and said, "Master Lu, I won't let you do it in vain, the market price, fifteen yuan a knife, this is one hundred and fifty yuan." ”

Although it is the market price, Lu Qi is already a martial artist, and this price is obviously unreasonable.

And now the price of the next grade knife has doubled, and the manual fees of many blacksmith masters have already doubled, and the Lu family has made a lot of money because of it.

but gave Lu Qi fifteen dollars, which is no different from bullying.

Huang Li also felt that his face was a little irritable and panicked, hesitated for a moment, took out another bag, and said, "This is another subsidy given to you by the county government, five yuan for each knife." ”

Lu Qi glanced at it, and there was a small embroidered pattern of the word [yellow] on the bag, and he understood that it was Huang Li's private money.

He smiled: "Huang Zhutou said that he was joking, the price is very fair, and the subsidy will be forgotten." ”

He pushed the subsidy back, just took one hundred and fifty dollars.

This money can be regarded as being able to give him good food and drink.

Huang Li was a little surprised, Lu Qi was so broad-minded, so he said: "Master Lu, if you have the opportunity, you must go to the county office, and I will introduce Lord Xianzun and Master to you." They have a good relationship with some stewards of the Giant Knife Gate. ”

This is tantamount to introducing connections to Lu Qi.

Lu Qi also felt that the line of the county government could be used as a talisman, so he no longer refused.

Hold your fists and thank you.

Huang Li felt ashamed of Lu Qi and didn't want to stay longer, so he gave his hand and said goodbye, "Next time, the iron materials and remuneration will be sent after you finish it." ”

Lu Qi hugged his fists and thanked him.

Huang Li led people away, but Jia San did not leave.

The neighbors did not rush forward, but watched with envy.

Jia San smiled and said, "Brother Lu, I didn't lie to you, I introduced you to a good job." ”

Lu Qi said: "Thank you, Third Master." ”

Jia San said: "Look, call the third master again, you and I are brothers, and you are also a martial artist, why are you so angry?" ”

Lu Qi smiled and said nothing.

Jia San understood that there was a dislike between him and Lu Qi.

However, he didn't care, because he had a lot of merit and would be able to go further when the time came.

Lu Qi will continue to slap him.

At this time, Li Muer came out of the house and pulled the goods into the warehouse with Lu Qi.

Jia San hurriedly went up to help, six hundred catties of things, both of them are martial artists, and they can easily pull in.

And after Jia San was busy, he deliberately wiped a handful on his sweatless face, as if he was very tired, "Hey, Master Lu, you still have to go to the county government in the future, Huang Zhutou has every opportunity, if there is something at that time, just look for me." ”

Lu Qi understood, took out fifty coins from the money bag, and stuffed them into Jia San's arms.

Jia San felt the weight and was overjoyed, but pretended to be angry, "Master Lu, you, you, this, alas, after the county government, I will invite you to drink." ”

Lu Qi said: "When the time comes, I will disturb the third master." ”

Jia San laughed, took the money, he didn't want to stay anymore, patted Lu Qi on the shoulder, and left.

Watching him leave, Lu Qi's face was flat.

This kind of person, let him help, even looked like he was kind to him, and even extorted money for favors.

Lu Qi thought to himself, is he really a bully?

Look, it's a long time coming!

Seeing Jia San away, the neighbors came forward one after another, all laughing haha, the words of praise were endless, and the meaning of praise was endless.

"Master Lu, what a skill."

"Xiao Luzi, I can't see that you are already a martial artist."

"Master Lu, in the future, the safety of our Ping'an Street will depend on you."

The neighbors all said all kinds of good things without money, but Lu Qi was still smiling and kindly returned the gift.

And asked Li Mu'er to go back to the room and take out some rice noodles and distribute them to the neighbors.

Not much, and each family who came up to say good things was estimated to only get three taels of flour or wheat bran.

But it was enough to make the neighbors happy and excited.

Lu Qi said: "The kid has another task, and it is estimated that it will be noisy at night, but it will definitely stop before the time, please forgive me." ”

The neighbors all laughed, saying that it was okay to take the benefits, and they accounted for these things.

Not to mention.

Lu Qi is already a martial artist, and he still does things for the government, and if he doesn't give anything, they don't dare to complain.

"The farm tools and iron tools sent by everyone, I will definitely finish them on time and on time, please don't worry." Lu Qi continued to assure.

Everyone burst into laughter.

Sent all the neighbors away.

Lu Qi called Li Mu'er again and said, "Mu'er, you give our nearest ten neighbors here, and each family will take two catties of corn flour, cut one catty of meat, and send two dollars to each family." ”

Li Mu'er exclaimed: "Lu Lang, are we okay? ”

Just gave rice noodles, and she was already very painful.

Now there are more than just 10 households for these ten households.

and flour, and meat and money.

Really?!

Lu Qi said: "It's close, it's the loudest, they don't say anything, we can't help but do something." ”

He smiled: "Go ahead, I can earn it back by buying a knife." ”

Although Li Mu'er was reluctant, she also understood that her ideological realm could not be compared with Lu Qi, so she had to comply.

Sure enough.

Li Mu'er took advantage of the night to send flour and meat to the nearest ten households, and there was money to go over, and these neighbors who were originally closed all sent Li Mu'er out of the door, smiling, and laughter spread throughout the street.

When she came back, Li Muer's admiration for Lu Qi was indescribable.

When I could only cook for him, I put an extra half of the old ginseng and asked him to make up more.

After eating and drinking, Lu Qi began to be busy in the evening.

He was going to fight two knives tonight, enough for twenty, and then go on a trip to the dark shop to try his luck and see if he could intercept some of the dark shop's business.

After all, with a knife in hand, you can't cash it in, and it's very uncomfortable.

As for the twenty knives, with Lu Qi's current strength, it was more than enough.

Even if the strength of the surface Skin Refining Realm was not enough, he could still show the Bone Forging Realm, or even the Yi Muscle Realm.

In short, the internal qi state should not be exposed.

People always have to have some hole cards.

In fact, Lu Qi also had some expectations, if he could meet the Luo sisters outside the door and sell the knife to them directly, it would be the best.

He doesn't go every day.

Therefore, he needs to bring so much at once.

The two low-grade knives were completed in one and a half hours, and Lu Qi also gave himself a new dogleg knife.

The last one has been ruined, and it melts when it comes back.

Now, he has hit a dogleg knife that is worthy of the grade.

With his strength, holding a medium-grade knife is a bit of a luxury, but it is not unacceptable.

Lu Qi did this in order to avoid the emergence of people like Jin Ye, who would not be able to explode in the realm when the time came, and he would have to be crushed with weapons.

And Lu Qi went to the neighbor's house to pick up the eighteen horizontal knives.

Wrapped in a sack, a bag full of about sixty or seventy pounds, changed clothes, wore a mask, hid the dog-leg knife and flying knife closely, and carried lime powder in his arms, that is, he went out.

Li Mu'er was still guarding the house, she watched Lu Qi leave through the crack in the door, her eyes were full of worry.
