Xie Yushu and Qu Xiaodie were joking together, and soon they found Li Daniu's blacksmith shop. The shop was not big, with two sales rooms, and an iron stove was set up outside the door. A strong man in his twenties, with a dark square face, was hammering nails. The shop door is open, and at a glance you can see hoes, sickles and other farm tools hanging inside.
If Xiao Yi hadn't told her in advance, she really wouldn't have seen that this mediocre shop in front of her could produce such a good weapon!
When the strong man saw Xie Yushu and Qu Xiaodie stopping in front of him, he didn't stop moving his hands and said without raising his head.
"You two go inside and pick out whatever you want to buy. If you don't want to buy it, just walk away. Don't cause trouble here!"
Xie Yushu and Qu Xiaodie were stunned!
Are all the sellers so arrogant?
Qu Xiaodie immediately wanted to come forward to argue, but was stopped by Xie Yushu. At this moment, she finally understood. Xiao Yi said that he had a bad temper, so the store was not popular.
Just talk like that, damn it if it's popular!
Just take out the drawing and say
"I want to make a set of knives. Here are the blueprints. Take a look. Can you make them?"
The man only said one sentence
"Wait!"
He continued to clank and hit the kitchen knife in his hand.
"Why is this man like this! His is not the only blacksmith shop on this street. At worst, let's go check out other shops!" Qu Xiaodie shouted dissatisfied.
Xie Yushu said
"The things I want to hit are extremely delicate. Ordinary blacksmiths may not be able to hit them. I only found this place after being introduced to them. Just wait for a while! If I can't hit them here, I will have to run further away! "
Moreover, she is not familiar with the place here, and the information here is limited. It is not easy to find an outstanding teacher.
After hearing this, Qu Xiaodie could only wait patiently.
However, the blacksmith man heard this and looked up at Xie Yushu and said
"If I can't fight it out, no one in Jinyang can!"
Qu Xiaodie made a sound
"That's not a bad tone!"
After talking for a while, the man seemed to have finished beating the kitchen knife in his hand, wiped his hands, and took the drawing in Xie Yushu's hand.
When I first saw it, I frowned. The next moment, I looked shocked and finally looked up at Xie Yushu.
"Where did this drawing come from, big sister?
If everyone has such clear and intuitive drawings, why should I waste my saliva with them? They kept complaining for a long time and couldn't understand. I kindly gave them the cheapest and most practical one. These bastards still think I'm beating them up. So ugly! "
The big man admired and felt aggrieved at the same time!
"I drew the drawings myself!"
The big man looked at Xie Yushu and sighed
"Girl, you are so ingenious! What did you hit? I know these knives. What are these?"
"This is a set of surgical tools. Those three are scalpels, these two are forceps, and these three are hemostatic forceps. These five are needles, two small ones, two medium ones, and one The large one, as for these two thin ones, are suture needles. They are used to save lives, so they must be punched according to the size I wrote. I wonder if this big brother can do it? "
The big man touched his chin and said
"It can be beaten down, but it will take more effort. Moreover, with ordinary iron, it will be difficult to achieve the effect you want!"
Xie Yushu took out a piece of iron given by Xiao Yi and handed it to him.
"What do you think of this piece of iron?"
The man took the iron material and said excitedly
"Yitie! Who are you, brother Xiao Yi?"
"Uh~ I'm a man!"
"It turns out they are younger siblings! Didn't you tell me earlier that I am Li Daniu, and I am brother to Xiao Yi? His Zhangba spear, yes. And the short knife you are holding, I was the one who beat you!"
Why didn't my elder brother come? I haven’t seen him for three or four years! What is he doing? "
"His leg was injured and he has difficulty moving. I used this set of knives to treat his injury! It was he who asked me to come to you!
Li Daniu was shocked
"My brother's leg is injured? Where do you live? I have to go take a look."
"We currently live in Fenghuangzui Village, Yonghe County, Tai'an Prefecture. Of course we welcome Brother Li to come!"
"You are actually in Tai'an Mansion. There has been a severe drought in Tai'an Mansion for the past two years. You...
well! Look at my brain, brothers, sisters, and this girl, you haven’t eaten yet, come in and have a bite! "Li Daniu said, shouting at the top of his lungs
"Daughter-in-law! Daughter-in-law! Come out, here comes Qie! ("Qie" in northern dialect means guest)"
As soon as Li Daniu finished speaking, a pregnant woman in her twenties hurriedly walked out of the room, followed by two three- or four-year-old babies.
The woman has a delicate face and is a little shy. She is holding a child in one hand and looking at Xie Yushu and Qu Xiaodie.
"Who are these two?"
Li Daniu’s enthusiastic introduction
"This is a brother I met in the early years, Xiao Yi, his wife, who is this?"
Xie Yushu took the conversation and said
"This is my god sister, Qu Xiaodie!
Hello sister-in-law"
"Hey! Sister-in-law, Miss Xiaodie, come in quickly! I'll cook!"
Xie Yushu grabbed the woman and said
"Sister-in-law, stop working so hard. We have to rush back by boat in a while. Besides, we just had a meal, so we're not hungry!"
"Brothers and sisters, you're welcome. You've suffered from disasters in the past two years and your life has been difficult. You've come all the way here, how can you leave without having something to eat? Xiao Yi and I are brothers. Brothers and sisters, you don't need to see anyone outside!"
Li Daniu had a straightforward temper, thinking about how difficult it might be for Xie Yushu to escape all the way here. As he spoke, he asked his wife to pull Xie Yushu and Qu Xiaodie into the house.
"Brother Li, sister-in-law, listen to me, I really don't have time to stay this time. Some time ago, some of our villagers went into the mountains to hunt together. This time they came to sell skins. They just sold the skins and bought food. They are all in a hurry to go home! After all, the family is still waiting for the rice to be cooked. I have to go back for a day, and your eldest brother will be less hungry for a day! Not to mention that there are children waiting at home.
In a few days, when I come to pick up the knife in a few days, I must have eaten before leaving, okay? "
"Here, then you go pack some food and vegetables for your siblings!" Li Daniu said to his wife.
"No, sister-in-law, we bought food. It weighs seventy or eighty kilograms. I can't carry any more!"
After hearing this, Li Daniu said
"Then, let's do it! If you need anything, just tell me."
"Definitely, Brother Li, please help me see if there is anything left of this meteorite iron besides making these knives?"
Li Daniu asked after hearing this
"What else do you want to fight, brother and sister?"
"If I can have any leftover, I would like to get another hairpin. The more inconspicuous the appearance of this hairpin, the better. But I want two functions. One is that the hairpin is hollow, and the other is that the hairpin has a sharp tip, but it cannot be seen from the outside. figure it out.
The entire hairpin is as long as a palm, just as thick as a little finger! It’s as thick as my little finger! "
Xie Yushu was afraid that this careless man would hit the hairpin according to the thickness of his own little finger, and the resulting hairpin would be too ugly.
Li Daniu weighed the meteorite, glanced at Xie Yushu's stretched out little finger, and nodded.
"It's almost usable, isn't it just as thick as chopsticks! I know it!"
