"Here, is this the Qingyang Collection?!"

Standing on the street of Qingyangji, Goudanzi looked at the continuous flow of people, and there was a trace of emotion in his heart, he hadn't seen such a scene for a long time, although this Qingyangji was worse than a small town in his previous life, but at least he experienced the feeling of the civilized world, much stronger than the small mountain village he nested in before.

Three days ago, his second uncle came to his house again and brought up the matter of letting the three dogs come out to break through, and Lao Zhoutou agreed.

If you don't agree, you can't do it, although this is already a good life, but after all, he has four sons, the second dog has reached the age of begging for a daughter-in-law, and the third dog is about to grow his body, and the amount of food is also growing.

It's better to take this opportunity to send him out, don't ask him to be posted for any family, at least he can support himself, besides, Qingyangji is not far away, that is, the mountain road forty or fifty miles away from the village, so, in the end, after some careful discussion and thinking, Lao Zhoutou agreed that the second uncle would take the dog out to break in.

"Hehe, I'm afraid this Qingyang set is still under the control of the Black Dragon Society, but the Great Elder of the Black Dragon Society is dead, and his strength has been greatly weakened, I'm afraid he has no intention of running here!" Looking at the black buildings in the southwest, a funny smile flashed on the face of the dog, although he only inherited some fragments of Li Haoran's memories, but he clearly understood Li Haoran's feelings for the Black Dragon Society, and this feeling also affected him, so he is now very interested in the Black Dragon Society.

It's just that, with his current age and status, the Black Dragon Society is still an unattainable existence, and there is no need for him to have anything to do with such a gang.

"Dog, there is the black shop of the Wu family in front, after you go there, you have to be obedient, and learn a craft, I have a lot of connections to find a way to send you in, you must not let me down!"

Along the way, the second uncle told him that the head of the dog was about to explode, but he still listened patiently, with a humble smile on his face, and nodded while listening, very well-behaved, which made the second uncle very satisfied.

"Hehe, I almost forgot, Goudanzi has a big name now, called Zhou Leopard!" seemed to remember something, Erbo laughed and touched Goudanzi's head, "Your father's name is really good, in the future, I can't call you Dogdanzi anymore, call you Little Leopard!"

Dogdanzi, no, the little leopard has a wry smile on his face, whether it's a dog's egg, or a little leopard, he doesn't care, but being touched by others when he has nothing to do makes him very uncomfortable.

The iron shop of the Wu family is very famous in Qingyangji, or in other words, the entire Wu family is very famous in Yunzhou in the Great Jin Dynasty.

Yunzhou Wujia, this is an iron-smelting family.

A blacksmith, a single blacksmith, is just a craftsman, an ordinary craftsman, at most he has more strength, and it is not a big deal.

But the craftsman is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, when a blacksmith can create a sharp weapon, he can get out of the scope of the craftsman, called a craftsman, he can live a good life, and when a craftsman can create a magic weapon, he can be called a master, they will no longer be like before, sweating like rain in a simple blacksmith shop, shirtless, grabbing the iron gong, striking alone, they will be like the ancient legend of the cadre Mo Xie, become the guests of the dignitaries, specially for a specific group of people to create specific weapons, using materials unimaginable to ordinary blacksmiths, in their lives, maybe only one or two more items can be made, and just by virtue of these two special items can make their name passed on to future generations, this is the so-called master.

And like the Wu family, who have a unique secret art, there will be one or two masters every few generations, and the family that can mass-produce craftsmen will not be lower than the average family.

Qingyangji's Wujia ironware shop is just a small branch of the Wujia, in Yunzhou, every town has the Wujia ironware shop, the Wujia monopolizes seventy percent of the ironware business in Yunzhou, as large as knives, arrows and bows, as small as kitchen knives and shovels, are their business scope, the Wujia bears the ninety percent share of Yunzhou's armament ironware, and similarly, in the market outside Yunzhou, the Wujia ironware is also very popular, accounting for a certain proportion, so they are known as one of the four major smelting families of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Of course, nominally known as the family, in fact, the blacksmith of the Wu family is not exactly the clansman of the Wu family, think about it, so many ironware, so many shops, including the iron of the armament, no matter how many people in the Wu family are, they can't afford it, even if they equip the old lady who is over eighty years old into battle, I am afraid that he will be exhausted to death.

Iron smelting families like them generally accept disciples, of course, the teachings obtained by these disciples are also ordinary smelting methods, and the real advanced smelting secret methods are kept by the core figures of the Wu family, and only a few disciples can be taught, and these people are the elite of the entire Wu family.

Zhou Bao is now, but he has just entered an ordinary Wujia ironware shop as an apprentice, like this ironsmith, there are countless in Yunzhou, and the training is ordinary blacksmiths, and occasionally find apprentices with good qualifications and talent in iron smelting, so it is possible to be introduced to a larger ironsmith shop to learn more advanced smelting methods and become a real disciple of the Wujia family.

Becoming a disciple of the Wu family, there is hope to become a craftsman, this is the highest pursuit of every apprentice who enters the Wu family's iron shop, but this is not Zhou Bao's pursuit, this kid has no interest in iron, he only cares about the treatment of the Wu family's iron shop, he is a martial arts practitioner, the so-called poor and rich martial arts, the person who practices martial arts needs a lot of meat to supplement the energy consumed during cultivation, so he will have no meat and no joy, so that the old Zhou family can no longer afford to raise it, this is his biggest trouble, and this Wu family's iron shop is iron, iron, the consumption is also huge, and a strong body is also needed, therefore, even a small apprentice is also meaty, in this way, his troubles are solved.

The workshops of Qingyangji are directly south of the town, but the Wujia ironware shop is different, they are in the center of the town, which is the most prosperous place in the whole town.

This ironware shop and ironware building and management in one, the front shop and the back of the shop, is the largest store in the whole Qingyangji.

However, speaking of which, this Qingyangji is just a small place, the area of the Wujia ironware shop is relatively largest, but it is still not enough, standing outside the ironware shop, you can faintly hear the sound of ironwork behind the shop, and the little leopard can even imagine in his mind the picture of those guys sweating like rain in the back of the shop.

"Hehe, old housekeeper Lin, this is my nephew, I can bring it to you, you see, although he is young, he is very strong!"

The second uncle of the little leopard laughed in front of a thin old man about sixty years old, and pulled the little leopard to his side.

"Well, it's not bad!" Old Butler Lin glanced at the dog's danzi, his expression moved slightly, "It's not bad, at this age, it's rare to have such a shelf, let's go, now Lao Xingtou won't complain to me anymore!" Old Butler Lin muttered to himself, pulled Zhou Bao behind him, and then looked up and said, "You go to Xiaoyunzi to take care of a study deed, this matter is over, I will take him to see Lao Xingtou, that old guy has a bad temper, especially for outsiders, don't go!"

"Yes, yes!" Zhou Bao's second uncle nodded again and again, and said a few words to Zhou Bao, which is nothing more than to be obedient in this iron shop, to study hard, and to have a good future in the future.

As for the housekeeper Lin, he smiled there, he saw a lot of such things, anyway, there was still more time, he didn't need to be in a hurry, just waited for the second uncle to finish all the words, and then walked to the shop with the dog.

Although the Wu family has a big business, Qingyangji is only a small place after all, and the people they face are basically some townspeople, and these townspeople do not have very high requirements for ironware, at most they use kitchen knives to cut vegetables, not to mention, they have no money, and their purchasing power is not enough, and the iron of the Wu family is one or two percent more expensive than ordinary blacksmith shops, so the business is limited.

And their biggest source of business is those warriors who enter the mountains, these warriors use small towns like Qingyangji as a place to rest and replenish their equipment, and the Wu family generally does business with them.

Of course, ordinary people's business Wujia weapon shops also accept them, and there are not many shops to collect, but most of them are only for the apprentices in the shop to practice their crafts.

Followed Steward Lin into the shop, walked to the back of the shop, the further back he went, the louder the sound of striking iron in his ears, and in the end, there was no other sound in his ears except for the sound of "clanging iron".

"Damn, this is purely a manic sound!" Zhou Bao secretly embarrassed in his heart, he himself is a quiet person, and the practice of Tai Chi is also a kind of quiet work, so that he lives in this jingling place all day long, and I don't know if he can persevere.

Butler Lin didn't care what he was thinking now, seeing his brows furrowed slightly, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why, I'm scared, boy, to tell you, this bowl of rice is not delicious, and if you want to gain a foothold here, you have to work very hard!"

"Oh!" Zhou Bao nodded seriously, looking like he was being taught, but in fact, the thoughts in his head had already run away from the clouds.

"This is the apprentice you took this year?!"

Entering the backyard, Zhou Bao didn't have time to observe, a pungent smell of alcohol rushed into the dog's nose, and when he looked up, he happened to see an old man with a rosacea nose holding a wine gourd in his hand, staring at himself with bloodshot eyes.

This old man is about the same age as Lin Da's housekeeper, but his figure is tall and burly, but, maybe because he is too old, or maybe he hasn't struck iron for a long time, the muscles on his body are a little loose, and the qi and blood on his body are not vigorous, especially his right hand, an extremely obvious knife mark extends from his right wrist to his elbow.

"His hands are useless?!" Seeing this scar, Zhou Bao's heart moved.

Although it seems that this injury has grown, but such a scar, thinking about it, the old man's tendons have already been broken, and the strength in his hands has also been wasted, although he does not know how to strike iron, but he can also understand with his ass that a blacksmith will lose his right hand.

"This is Master Xing, his old man is a craftsman, you will be in his charge in the future, but you must study hard, don't live up to my second uncle's wishes!"
