Chapter Eighty-Six: Old Zhangtou's Blacksmith Shop

Tianci stood in the blacksmith shop for a long time and didn't see anyone, secretly guessing in his heart what kind of person the blacksmith here would be, and finally he was not interested in looking at the blade on the wall anymore, and called the shopkeeper to come out and ask: "The shopkeeper, come to the buyer!"

"Coming, coming!" someone replied in a rough voice, but what came out was a shriveled little old man, hunched over, with gray hair in a mess like a chicken shaved, and a pair of large rough hands that stood out. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Are you the shopkeeper here?" asked Tianci curiously.

"What shopkeeper is not in charge, my name is Zhang Sansan, who makes iron and sells money, I can afford to call me the third master, and if I look down on it, I will call him old man Zhang!" The old man spoke very well, but his name was a bit verbose, and God gave his heart to say that it was okay to call Zhang Sansan?

Seeing that the old man was not good-looking but in good spirits, he dared to call himself the third master, and he could blend into the Black Mountain Branch, he must not be an ordinary iron-striker, Tianci did not dare to slack off, and said with a smile: "Third master, I want to fight some blades!"

The old man grinned and said, "You kid still knows how to count etiquette, let's say, what do you want to fight?" The ones hanging on this wall are also made by me, if you want to see it, take one and give you less money!"

Tiancixin said that you old man said it well, maybe how to kill me, and said with a smile: "Third master, I don't have what I want on your wall." ”

"That's going to be ordered, you say, it's not blowing with you, as long as you can say something, I can type it all!" The old man picked up the teapot on the counter and took a sip.

Godci said: "I want to fight a kitchen knife!"

The old man's eyes were bulging, as if he was swallowing the tea with great difficulty, and his throat moved and said, "I heard me right, could it be that the Black Mountain Martial Arts Academy still recruits cooks?"

Tianci smiled and said: "Look at what you said, the kitchen knife I want can't be too ordinary, and I want others to practice swords and guns, can't I practice kitchen knives? Not only kitchen knives, but also a set of flying knives!"

The old man also heard for the first time that someone made a kitchen knife, and said with a smile: "I don't care if you cut vegetables or cut people, anyway, if you want me, you can fight, since it is not an ordinary kitchen knife, you tell me what kind of it, there is a picture is the best, the flying knife is also, you have to tell me the size and shape, as for the material, it depends on how much money you are willing to pay." ”

When Tianci heard it, the kitchen knife was too eye-catching, he didn't hang it on his waist, he took it out of the Qiankun jade and gently placed it on the counter.

The old man looked at it and smiled: "Isn't this just an ordinary kitchen knife!", picked it up and put it on the mat, flicked it with his fingers, listened to it with his ears, and looked at it carefully over and over again.

"The material is not ordinary, the black gold Mithril here has been added, it seems that it is indeed not a chopping vegetable, the hard bones of the demon beast are too rich, it is really a rare thing! If you want to fight an identical one, it will cost money, don't even think about it without a thousand gold coins!" said the old man lovingly playing with the kitchen knife.

Tianci rolled his eyes when he heard this, and remembered the five golden tickets that made him feel distressed.

"What about the flying knife? I want the same material!" Tianci Xin said that the flying knife can't be bad, otherwise it will be bad if the main skin of the horizontal practice is not penetrated, and what kind of golden bell cover iron cloth shirt is hard enough, who knows if there are other hard shell kung fu, don't encounter it at any other time.

The old man smiled and said: "That's more expensive, although there are not many materials, but the flying knife is more exquisite, if you want to make it easy, it is not an ordinary hand, two thousand gold coins, the price of conscience!"

Tianci's eyes blinked, with a smile on his face, and he thought to himself: "This dead old man is really not a fuel-efficient old lamp!"

After losing 5,000 gold coins, Tianci deeply realized what a penny is a hero, a kitchen knife and a set of flying knives, and the old man Zhang opened his mouth to ask for 3,000 gold coins.

Tianci sighed and said, "Third Master, can it be cheaper?"

Old man Zhang said with a smile: "It's not good to have one less! The materials are very valuable, and my craftsmanship is not cheap, so I really can't do less!"

Tianci was helpless: "Old Zhangtou, you are too expensive, I won't fight the kitchen knife, and I won't fight the flying knife, let's talk about it when the master has money in the future!"

"Hey, hey, don't go, young man, it's still negotiable!" the old man wanted to stabilize the godsend.

Tianci turned his head and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that one less son is not good?"

Lao Zhangtou said: "I see that your bones are amazing, your eyes are bright, and I decided to make friends cheaper." ”

Tianci Khan said: "Lao Zhangtou, you don't come to this set, is the bone Qingqi good, do you still need to say it?, don't you just want to cheat me out of some money, I won't fall for you, I will go down the mountain tomorrow, thirty gold coins will definitely be able to buy it!"

Unexpectedly, Lao Zhangtou was furious when he heard it: "Bastard, you insulted me, you go, you go, you can only hit a pair of iron pieces for thirty yuan." You are my old Zhang...... Go, don't call me Lao Zhangtou, if you don't call me the third master, call me Old Zhangtou, what is Lao Zhangtou!"

Tianci saw that the old man was really angry, this is not pretending, he said that he was not a thing, and it seemed that he was also very angry, hehe sneered: "Old Zhangtou, don't be angry, how can I know if your skills are good or not, I am a newcomer!"

Lao Zhang Tou seemed to be very interested in his craftsmanship and reputation, and said angrily: "If you use it, you will know! I don't want your money, let you see your third master's craftsmanship." ”

"What...... Don't want money?" Tianci felt as if he had misheard.

Lao Zhang was stunned for a moment, as if he realized that he had lost his mouth, but since he said it, he didn't regret it, his face flushed, and he bent his neck and said: "That's right, why don't you let the kid take advantage, I not only want to beat you, but also guarantee that you will be satisfied after the fight, and I have to let you say the word 'good'!"

Tianci heard the music, and said that there are really everyone in the world, this old Zhang Tou is really a strange person, what is difficult to say "good", so he shouted: "Okay!" by the way, he also gave a thumbs up.

Lao Zhangtou glanced at Tianci with disdain and said, "No!

God-given is really a surprise and inexplicable, I never thought I would meet such an upright and conceited and lovely old man, I originally thought he was an old fritter, it seems that character has little to do with age, bad people will get old, good people will also get old, the so-called old and immortal is for thieves to look like they can't be used.

Under Tianci's stunned gaze, Lao Zhangtou kicked over a wooden pier and said, "Sit down and wait, take the knife in three hours!"

Tiancixin said that I could go back first and come back later, but he was really afraid that the old man would not give him a knife when he heard this, so he sat on the wooden pier like a good grandson and said: "Well, the third master! I will sit here and wait, and I will not go anywhere!"

Not long after hearing the sound of whirring and pulling bellows in the workshop behind Lao Zhangtou, Tianci sat bored for a while, listening to the sound of whirring and whirring couldn't help but be a little curious, sneaked in to see, Lao Zhangtou stepped on a leather bellows under his feet, with the rhythmic trampling of Lao Zhangtou, the flame in the hearth flickered high and low, and the black rumbling workshop was lit by the red flame in the hearth.

Tianci felt that he was a little taken for granted, the old Zhang Tou did not use a hand-pulled bellows, the kind of hand-pulled bellows he had seen in his rural hometown before, a rectangular wooden box, one end has an air outlet against the hearth, and the other end has a wooden pole that can be pulled out and stuffed in, the front of the wooden pole is pasted with hemp paper, a pull and a plug, there is a big wind blowing into the hearth, simple and practical, it is said that it is a thing of the old society.

However, although the leather bellows that Lao Zhangtou stepped on was more primitive, the wind was not small at all, and Tianci looked interesting, and said to Lao Zhangtou: "Do you want to change me to step on it?"

The old man did not answer, as if he had not heard at all, and a large pair of pliers picked up the red-hot iron, turned it over and looked at it, shook his head and put it into the hearth again, and stepped harder under his feet.

Tianci looked at him and ignored himself, standing by and watching with interest, he felt that the old man's focused expression was very cool, and now he no longer looked like a sloppy old man with gray hair and hunched back, but more like an artist who focused on his own work.

Lao Zhangtou burned the fire in the hearth, and from time to time he used big tongs to clip out the iron block to see if he put it in, turning it over and over, the iron block became brighter and brighter from the initial dark red, and more and more red, and the thin undershirt of the old Zhang Tou was already soaked, and he seemed to be unaware, just staring intently at the red iron lump.

Maybe he felt that it was almost burned, clamped it with pliers, and a black sledgehammer by the side of the hearth, rounded his arms and began to smash, without smashing a hammer, the red iron filings splashed back up, and after a while, Tianci saw some eyes, but the old Zhang Tou didn't seem to feel it at all, when Tianci curiously leaned over to look, he saw that the old Zhang Tou's eyes were always closed, but when he fell the hammer, it was surprisingly accurate, not only accurate, but also the position of the hammer was different each time, and it fell evenly on the iron block at once.

Tianci couldn't help but admire a little, this old man was able to gain a firm foothold in the Black Mountain Martial Academy, and he really had two hits. He paid special attention to it, Lao Zhangtou smashed sixty-six hammers on both sides, one hammer is not much, one hammer is not much, if it is smashed three times, the square iron block has shown the outline of a kitchen knife, and the eyes of Lao Zhangtou have not opened in the whole process.

After three times, Lao Zhangtou opened his eyes, clamped the iron that had a general appearance and looked at it over and over, Tianci thought he was going to make up for a few hammers, but he just smiled and nodded, and then put the iron back into the stove and began to burn, probably he was very satisfied with his "blind beating", obviously there was no mistake, which can be seen from his heartfelt happy smile.
