Chapter 32 This is the only one with no other branches
Ye Tian and Gu Liuli followed the address given by Peng Gaoyi and came to the outside of an ordinary house. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The courtyard looks small and stands on the street and listens carefully, and you can hear the faint rhythmic sound of tinkling inside. It's just that the two knocked on the door for a while, but no one came to open the door.
"Could it be that you can't hear it?" Gu Liuli speculated.
"Possibly. Ye Tian took two steps back and asked loudly, "Is there anyone?"
He shouted several times and waited for a while, but the result was still the same.
"Why don't we just go in?"
Steward Peng said that the man was quite arrogant, and he trespassed rashly, which was afraid that he would dislike him. Ye Tian thought for a while and said, "Let's try again." ”
After speaking, he shouted loudly: "Is Master Feng here? We were introduced by Steward Peng, and we have important things to ask for." ”
This time, the sound of gold and stone knocking in the courtyard finally stopped, and someone answered inside: "The door is not locked, just come in." ”
I have been pretending not to hear someone calling at the door. Ye Tian smiled helplessly at Gu Liuli.
The two of them entered the courtyard, only to see that in the corner of the courtyard more than ten steps square, there were many finished or semi-finished weapons piled up at random, and the silver light flickered under the sun, making it difficult to look directly. There was a short, stout man in a cardigan coat with his back to the gate washing his hands in a water tank under the courtyard wall.
Ye Tian arched his hand and said, "May I ask if it's Master Feng Kuifeng?"
"Hmm. Feng Kui wiped his hands on his pants a few times, turned around and saw Gu Liuli, and couldn't help frowning: "Why is there still a female doll here?" Wait for the old man to go back to the house first to change his clothes. ”
His face is full of furrows, his complexion is slightly dark, he looks over fifty years old, he is called Gu Liuli Doll, and he also calls himself an old man, which is not unavoidable.
Gu Liuli hugged his fists and said: "Master Feng doesn't need to care, the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes don't pay so much attention." ”
People in the rivers and lakes can be seen shirtless from time to time, not to mention those with open cardigans. There are many bandits or horse gangs and dart boards that go north and south, and the people below are indispensable to this kind of attire. If you can't even accept this, what kind of martial arts people are you talking about?
Feng Kui nodded, and did not mean to beckon the two of them into the house to watch the tea, and asked, "Listen to what you mean, did Lao Peng introduce you to me? Do you want to buy weapons or build weapons?"
Ye Tian said: "In the next Chang'an meeting, Ye Tian, this is my senior sister Gu Liuli. This visit was to invite Master Feng up the mountain. ”
He informed Feng Kui of the specific reason, and the latter looked indifferent, motioned for the two to follow, walked to the pile of weapons, drew a long sword, and handed it to Ye Tian.
"What do you think of this sword?"
Ye Tian has a limited knowledge of the materials and craftsmanship of weapons, but he has always been in contact with a lot, and he can roughly distinguish between good and bad. He said: "It's not a secret, it's ordinary. ”
Feng Kui grinned and said, "This is made by an ordinary blacksmith, and it only takes one or two more to get it." Look at this knife again. He took out another waist knife and gave it to Ye Tian.
"It's better than that sword, and I don't understand if it's too professional. Ye Tian looked through it carefully for a while, saw the inscription near the jaw, and asked, "This is the work of Jintie Villa?"
"That's right. Jintie Villa started with refining weapons, and the blades they created were very popular in the three counties of Dongwulin. However, this is a standard knife, which is far from a good product, and the price is about five taels. Feng Kui said, handing over another long sword.
This time, the long sword was only a half-finished product, and Ye Tian and Gu Liuli studied it together for a long time, but they couldn't get the answer.
"This sword ......" Ye Tian hesitated, seeing that there was arrogance hidden in Feng Kui's eyebrows, his heart moved, and he smiled: "Although this sword has not yet been built, I can clearly feel the difference in it. Presumably, after it is played, it will be a famous sword. ”
Feng Kui laughed and said, "You kid has a bit of eyesight. This sword will be sold after it is finished and sold by someone, and the value will not be less than ten taels. Speaking of this, he suddenly sighed: "It's a pity, it's still 108,000 miles away from the famous sword, not even a sharp sword." So you're wrong. ”
The so-called magic weapon. Worthy of the word Excalibur is naturally the best, and it is rare to ask for it. Famous swords are second, and the value can reach thousands of taels, and there may not be a few mouthfuls on the market in a year. The sword is third, ranging from hundreds of taels to one thousand taels. The fourth is a good sword, and most of them can be traded for one hundred and eighty taels. Again, in the future, it is like coming from an ordinary blacksmith that belongs to the last class, which is really shy in the pocket, and will be chosen as a last resort.
Ye Tian smiled: "You also said that someone else took over the construction." If you always do it yourself, no matter how bad it is, it will be a sharp sword. ”
"You don't have to pick up some good words to please me. I have my ego, but I also have my self-knowledge. Feng Kui took the semi-finished product in Ye Tian's hand and put it in front of him, his eyes showed tenderness, and said: "If all the processes are not wrong, I can indeed make it into another sharp weapon." Not this time. ”
Gu Liuli was puzzled: "Why can't it be this time?"
"You don't understand it. Let's leave if it's okay, I told Lao Peng face to you this because I want to tell you that I, Feng Kui, am not short of money, and I don't seek fame, Chang'an will be something, and I am not interested. ”
"Master Feng's interest is simply forging blades, right? ”
"Little girl, you're wrong. My interest is forging the blades that interest me. To put it bluntly, I can build whatever I want, not everything. ”
Ye Tian asked, "Master Feng never wants to create something low-grade. You just said that this sword was almost classified as a sharp weapon, I wonder how many types of sharp weapons you have built so far, and how many handles are there?"
"Not much. Feng Kui stretched out four fingers and said proudly: "Four categories, each with two handles." ”
It's a real source of pride to be able to develop and build these tools alone. According to Ye Tian's understanding, Jintie Villa only produces six or seven sharp weapons a year, and as for the types, there may be one type a year. No wonder Feng Kui can be respected by Peng Gaoyi.
However, Ye Tian didn't intend to compliment him, and said expressionlessly: "Dare to ask what factors restrict this number?"
This attitude really made Feng Kui unhappy, and shouted: "What do you layman know?
"So, it's still a process problem?"
Feng Kui said in a vicious voice: "Boy, don't think that you are qualified to make fun of me because you are the head of the Chang'an Society!"
"You're mistaken. Ye Tian smiled, took out a piece of paper from his arms and spread it out to Feng Kui: "I happen to have a sword forging diagram here, which undoubtedly also records information such as forging methods and processes, I don't know if you will have anything worth learning from." ”
Although in terms of the entire era, there may only be a few forging processes, but Ye Tian believes that the drawings of the system task reward will inevitably have their differences. Seeing Feng Kui reaching out to take it, he quickly put it away: "I dare to pack the ticket, this drawing is only available to me in the Chang'an Association, only this one, there is no other branch." ”
Feng Kui snorted coldly: "You want to provoke me with this, but your efforts are in vain." ”
"Really?" Ye Tian looked at the drawings and found a short paragraph, observing Feng Kui's expression as he read.
Sure enough, Feng Kui didn't care at first, but soon his face became solemn, and he showed joy.
At this moment, Ye Tian stopped, folded the drawings and took them back into his arms, and said to Gu Liuli: "It is estimated that this drawing is not helpful to Master Feng, we have to go to another blacksmith's shop, so we will leave, right?"
Gu Liuli's smile was like a crescent moon: "Well, let's go." ”
"Wait a minute, wait a minute...... Feng Kui suddenly woke up, pulled Ye Tian, opened his mouth for a long time and couldn't squeeze out a word, and finally said: "I have a finished weapon here, don't you take a look?" I can sell you at a discount, no, give it to you." ”
"Oh, yes!"
Feng Kuizheng was happy, so Ye Tian continued: "How can you say that there is a saying? If you have a cheap advantage, you are a bastard, Master Feng gave you a gift, and we will thank you." ”
Feng Kui was anxious: "It's not for nothing, I have to take a look at the drawings." ”
Take hundreds of thousands of taels of things just to change the drawings and take a look? That's a play! Ye Tian wanted to catch the reason and said: "That's not possible, if you learn it, how can it be unique to my Chang'an Society." Alas, you have those sharp weapons, forget it. Then he turned around and left.
"Two stay, stay. This will not work, I will build this weapon, I am responsible for the materials and manpower, you only need to provide the drawings, and after the construction is completed, the weapon will all belong to you. And I swear that neither the content of the drawings nor the finished weapons will flow out. ”
"It's not impossible. Ye Tian groaned: "That's it, Master Feng, you can introduce another blacksmith to us." You may not believe it, but we will have more forging drawings in the future, and we must always have our own talents. ”
Feng Kui's eyes widened as copper bells: "There are also drawings, how is it possible? The Chang'an Association is also specialized in forging weapons?"
"Of course not, specifically, you are not a member of my Chang'an Society, I can't tell you. ”
"Then if I agree to join the Chang'an Association, I can see other drawings?"
Now it's just such a drawing, where can I find something else for you?" Ye Tian shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry, there will be a time to give you new drawings." ”
Feng Kui also knew that his intentions were too obvious, and Ye Tian's answer was reasonable. He struggled for a long time, and finally said, "Okay, I'll go with you." When to go?"
"We're going to hire a physician or pharmacist, we don't have a clue yet, but in a few days. ”
"In that case, can you lend me a list of the drawings first?"
Gu Liuli spoke out at the right time: "There is no such rule. ”
Feng Kui looked dissatisfied: "I'm asking the master." ”
Ye Tian said with a smile: "Elder Gu is my senior sister, and she is the first seat in the Chang'an Society's Criminal Law Palace, and all the rules of the Chang'an Society are compiled and formulated by her." If she wants to say no, she can't. ”
Feng Kui didn't know that Gu Liuli had such a lot of authority in the Chang'an Society, so he didn't dare to speak anymore.
"Don't worry, Master Feng, when we have hired someone, we will leave for the mountain gate, and it will take a few days at most. Ye Tian reminded: "Or do you have the right person to introduce?"
"That's right!" Feng Kui patted his head: "If you find someone, you'll set off, right? ”
Ye Tian and Gu Liuli looked at each other and smiled: It's done.
