Chapter 10: The Lotus Flower

In Yangzhou, there are five markets. The most lively is the South Gate Market where Huang Yi is now.

I saw Huang Yi standing at the door of a blacksmith shop and looked at his left and right hands. After hesitating for a while, he walked in firmly.

Huang Yi was quite satisfied with the Aoyun shirt, but he was not very satisfied with the green steel sword.

Maybe it's because the times are different. After all, the sword forged in the 21st century can easily be blown and broken. Although the Qinggang sword was also sharp, Huang Yi always felt that it was not perfect.

And it just so happened that Huang Yi got a superb blade this time, if Huang Yi's inference was correct. This blade should be the man's 'scorched evil's life-killing knife. Looking at the smoothness of the broken blade, I can't figure out what kind of divine weapon can cut this knife made of stainless steel in two.

Seeing the blacksmith shop at this time, Huang Yi naturally wanted to go in and reforge the weapon. The reason why I hesitated for a moment was that I was afraid that if the forging failed, it would be a pity for this steel.

Green steel sword, although with steel characters. But it is a sword made of ordinary materials, tin ore, iron ore, etc. Compared with stainless steel, it is too worthless.

As far as Huang Yi knows, the weapons of this dynasty. It is generally composed of gold, silver, copper, iron and other ores.

Weapons made of copper and iron are considered to be the lowest level, and the most common ones are iron. Iron ore is produced in large quantities and is easy to process. Even the kitchen knives commonly used at home are made of iron.

The material of copper is soft and malleable. The craftsmanship is better, and the copper can be processed to be thinner than a human hair. But it is so thin that it cannot be used on the battlefield. Otherwise, if you kill one person, the blade will be overturned, and how can you kill the enemy?

So basically, copper is used to make some shorter, dagger-shaped, or shortsword weapons. Try to avoid colliding with other weapons.

Of course, if it is bronze with alloys such as tin or lead. But the density is higher than iron. And if the pig iron is added with silver, it is another level. So it's hard to say which is stronger or weaker.

But stainless steel is a rare kind of ore. Silver is worth hundreds of times more than copper, while steel is worth a hundred times more than silver. You can see the value of this blade. If you sell it directly, hundreds of taels of silver will not run away.

Huang Yi hesitated, still feeling too conspicuous. Eventually, he walked into the blacksmith's shop.

After "bargaining" with the blacksmith boss for half a day, he finally spent all the hundreds of copper coins on his body on the processing fee.

After leaving the blacksmith shop, Huang Yi couldn't help but sigh: "It's really like running water." ”

I borrowed a tael of silver from Wang Xingman yesterday, and now a copper plate is gone.

That's 4,000 dollars in the 21st century. Quite a lot of workers have been paid for almost a month.

The weapon reforge will not be completed until tomorrow afternoon. Touching his chest, Huang Yi decided to go back to the martial arts hall. Otherwise, it's a little too ugly to hold your stomach up.

It was noon, and Huang Yi returned to the martial arts hall. After putting the Qi Herb and the Death Killing Knife Technique in place, I happened to be a little hungry and was going to have lunch first. Who knows, at the door of the cafeteria, I saw the archdeacon foaming at the mouth and pointing at a little girl.

"Master Deacon. Huang Yi stepped forward and shouted.

"Yes. The archdeacon glanced back at Huang Yi and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The mission was successfully accomplished. Of course, Huang Yi knew what the old man was asking. Isn't it just a message, how hard can it be?

"It's good to be done, it's good to be done. The archdeacon smiled and said, "The old man will leave first if he has something to do, and he should not mislead you for dinner." ”

With that, the archdeacon snorted at the little girl and turned to leave.

"This old man is a student of Sichuan opera, right?" turned his head and changed his face.

The little girl originally wanted to laugh, but when she thought of the current situation, her eyes turned red and said: "Recently, the business of the martial arts hall has been declining, and the number of people is getting smaller and smaller. Now, it's not just the martial arts hall that no one has to share the housework. Early this morning, Liang Shu from the hotel next door asked about the situation in the martial arts hall. The archdeacon rarely saw the fat sheep, but he also asked me to persuade Uncle Liang to let the martial arts students join. Since I was a child, I have been burning firewood, cooking, sprinkling, and spilling, and I am clumsy in words. If you miss this great opportunity, I am afraid that you will definitely be beaten by the deacon. ”

"What?" Huang Yi was stunned, is there still a small number of hundreds of students?

It's just that Huang Yi doesn't know that even if it is an ordinary small martial arts hall, there are dozens or hundreds of people.

As the largest martial arts hall in Yangzhou. Yangzhou Martial Arts Hall used to have as many as 3,000 students and hundreds of instructors.

Thinking of the archdeacon again, Huang Yi was relieved. When I first looked at the old man of the archdeacon, I felt that it was not as simple as it seemed, but now it is really exposed.

'Change your face', forget it, and actually beat such a cute little girl. And looking at her scared look, it was obvious that she had been beaten a lot.

"Isn't it just admissions, how difficult can it be, let me help you, big brother. Do you have a brochure?" Huang Yi has always been wild, eating soft rather than hard. I was most afraid of seeing the little girl cry.

"Brief?" the little girl said she didn't understand.

Huang Yi slapped his forehead, remembering that there was no such word in this era, and immediately changed his words: "That's it...... Related forms, as well as some introductions in the martial arts hall. ”

"Yes!" said the little girl, stuffing a lot of things to Huang Yi.

Huang Yi picked a few, then patted the little girl's shoulder and said. "Then I'll go, isn't it just admissions! It's much easier than taking a girl. Don't worry. After saying that, he turned around and went to do something.

"Whoa?" Obviously, the little girl didn't understand what the girl meant. Seeing Huang Yi turn around and leave, he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly reminded: "Uncle Liang is a prestigious person in the hotel, maybe there are more rules, please, please take care of the eldest brother." ”

Huang Yi didn't reply, but just raised his right hand holding the 'Jane' and shook it, leaving it to the back of the little girl. But for some reason, the little girl just felt full of confidence. I think Huang Yi will definitely succeed.

When I came to the hotel, I saw an old man angrily yelling at several teenagers. I think this is the target person. So he stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, is it Uncle Liang?"

When the old man saw that someone was coming, he stopped drinking the young men. Turned around and said: "Exactly! The young man is very faced, I don't know if it is...?"

Yi is not nonsense. said directly: "In Xia Huang Yi, I sent materials for the Yangzhou Martial Arts Hall." I heard that Uncle Liang is very interested in the martial arts hall. ”

Uncle Liang smiled: "I see." Oh, it's not a secret. Recently, some children have come to the hotel, and they always cause trouble. I thought about sending them to the martial arts hall to hone their minds! After all, there are too many martial arts halls in Yangzhou. ”

Huang Yi smiled. didn't brag about the long history of Yangzhou martial arts gyms, let alone belittle other martial arts gyms. just patted his ass respectfully and said, "Sure enough, it's Uncle Liang, who is known as a wise man! I know that martial arts practice focuses on the tempering of the spirit and mind, rather than being fierce and ruthless." Fortunately, the old deacons of the Yangzhou Martial Arts Hall are deeply saddened, and the martial arts hall can operate for a long time. ”

Uncle Liang, who was patted with a lot of sycophants, was very comfortable. Especially the four words 'Wise Uncle Liang', which made Uncle Liang, who had been beaten by the group of boyish jumpers before, feel a lot more comfortable: "This old man wants to hear this, can there be a saying?"

Huang Yi saw that the old man was interested, so he said: "Actually, I am a temporary worker, and this trip is to help the little girl in the Yangzhou Martial Arts Hall send the 'Brief' over." Well, these are the information forms. ”

"Little girl, who is she?" Uncle Liang was puzzled, and he didn't know why Huang Yi would mention the little girl.

"The little girl grew up in the Yangzhou Martial Arts Hall since she was a child, and she was brought up by the deacons. Since he was a child, he has been responsible for the chores of the martial arts hall, and now that he has grown up, he even has to shoulder the operation of the martial arts hall. Hard-working, never lazy. I was moved by her spirit and volunteered to help. ”

Huang Yi said half-truthfully: "I think that the deacons of this martial arts hall must have something to convince people. can teach children so sensible. ”

"Oh, this has aroused the interest of the old man!, the old man will find a time to visit the deacon of the Yangzhou Martial Arts Hall in person today. Take a chance to see this little girl. Let's see if it's what you say. "The old man is very moved.

"The fat sheep has finally taken the bait. Huang Yi thought to himself, as long as you enter the Yangzhou Martial Arts Hall. The rest is up to the deacons. Huang Yi saw that his goal had been achieved, and left.

Return to Yangzhou Martial Arts Hall again. As soon as I walked in through the mahogany gate, I saw where the little girl was waiting anxiously.

Huang Yi smiled and walked up to tell him what had happened. The little girl was finally relieved.

"Huang ...... Brother Huang. The little girl saw that Huang Yi was not wearing the martial arts uniform of the martial arts hall, nor did she bring weapons. And she was very angry, so she wasn't sure if the other party was the head of the martial arts hall.

As for the students? Not to mention. How can there be such a big student?

"Huh?"

"I just saw that the eldest brother should be going to dinner, right?" the little girl said: "It's all because the little girl delayed the eldest brother's dinner." It's past noon, and there shouldn't be any food left in the dining room. It's better to let the little girl invite the eldest brother to dinner. I should be grateful for my big brother's help. ”

"You're welcome, I'm not picky about eating. As long as you can eat enough. You'd better report to the old man first. lest he sing Sichuan opera again. Huang Yi said.

"Poof!" this time, the little girl finally laughed.

looked at the fifteen or sixteen-year-old, youthful and energetic little girl in front of her. Huang Yi couldn't help but reach out and touch her head and said, "The little girl looks so good when she laughs." In the future, you have to laugh more, and if you have any difficulties, you will come to Brother Huang. ”

was touched and killed by Huang Yi, and the little girl was stunned.

It's an intimate gesture. Generally, it is an action that is only done between elders and juniors, or between couples......

"Alright, I'm going to eat. ”

Huang Yi didn't feel anything unusual, turned around and walked towards the dining hall. Leave the little girl standing alone and don't know how to react!
