Zhao Xiaoliu saw Duan Wenjun's confused expression and immediately reacted, "Mr. Duan, I am Xiao Liuzi, an apprentice at Ma's blacksmith shop. My master has already finished the things you customized this morning. I would like to invite you over." See if there is anything that needs improvement, he can deal with it on the spot.”
When Duan Wenjun heard this, he was immediately relieved.
Blacksmith Ma is quite reliable in his work.
In less than half a day, he had created a sample of the charcoal hot pot.
Duan Wenjun spoke to Qin Feng in the car, and under the leadership of Zhao Xiaoliu, the group walked towards Ma's blacksmith shop first.
In fact, Duan Wenjun was quite looking forward to it. He didn't know how good Blacksmith Ma's craftsmanship was and what it would look like.
Within a moment, they arrived at Ma's blacksmith shop.
The charcoal fire in the stove was burning brightly, and the two iron pieces inside were burning red, but Ma Xinyuan was sitting next to him, shirtless, smoking.
Seeing Duan Wenjun and his entourage coming over, he hurriedly put down the cigarette pole in his hand and came out, "Master Duan, what you want has been built. There are just some places that I need you to take a look at, Master Duan, to see if they need to be modified, that's why I'm bothering you." Come here in person!”
As he spoke, Ma Xinyuan felt uneasy.
After all, Duan Wenjun is the eldest young master of the Duan family, and he should have been sent to the family.
It was indeed a bit abrupt for Xiao Liuzi to invite someone over like this.
But after all, this thing was built according to the drawings. If Duan Wenjun came to see it in person, it might be more effective.
Just seeing that Duan Wenjun was accompanied by two beautiful girls and a carriage behind him, he couldn't help but secretly complain that Zhao Xiaoliu didn't pay attention to timing.
This is obviously delaying Master Duan's trip. If it makes him unhappy, it will be difficult to handle.
But now, it's impossible for him not to continue. Fortunately, Duan Wenjun's face seems to be in good condition.
Ma Xinyuan turned around, took out the sample, and placed it in front of Duan Wenjun.
Looking at the charcoal hot pot in front of him, Duan Wenjun was stunned.
There are two charcoal hotpots on the table next to the iron-making furnace.
One is the same as what I drew on the drawing. The central furnace core for burning the fire is a straight cylinder.
The other one was the same as the household charcoal hot pot in my previous life, with the hearth in the middle being changed into a fish belly shape.
When Duan Wenjun first drew the drawings, the heart of the furnace in the middle was also shaped like a fish belly.
However, he thought that the blacksmithing technology in this world might not be able to achieve the curvature of the furnace core, so he changed it to a straight cylinder shape.
But he didn't expect that Blacksmith Ma would change it back for him.
Could it be that this blacksmith is also from a previous life?
Or, in this world, there are people from previous lives who have made charcoal hot pots, and Blacksmith Ma has seen them?
He was very surprised. He picked up the charcoal hot pot with a fish belly-shaped heart, looked up at Ma Xinyuan and said, "Blacksmith Ma, have you seen this charcoal hot pot before?"
Seeing the surprised expression on Duan Wenjun's face, Ma Xinyuan became even more uneasy and hurriedly explained, "Master Duan, I heard you said you wanted to burn charcoal in the middle furnace, so I took it upon myself to widen the middle furnace core a little, and then made it The fish belly shape is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, just thinking that this way can store more heat in the heart of the furnace. If Master Duan doesn't like it, just ignore it. "
"I like it, I like it, I like it very much!" Duan Wenjun stared at Ma Xinyuan and smiled.
He secretly thought to himself that this blacksmith was quite capable and very independent, so he was a rare talent.
"Master Duan, you won't be unhappy because I changed your drawing on my own initiative, right?" Ma Xinyuan asked cautiously.
"Why wouldn't you be happy?" Duan Wenjun's face burst into laughter. "Blacksmith Ma, I wonder how the business of your blacksmith shop is going?"
Hearing this, Ma Xinyuan's heart couldn't help but tighten. He frowned slightly and carefully replied again, "Thanks to Master Duan's luck, I can barely make ends meet."
Although he said so, only Ma Xinyuan knew it in his heart.
Don't look at it. Jiangcheng is not big, but it has four or five blacksmith shops.
The location of my shop is a bit remote, so business is naturally not very good.
They say they can make ends meet, but in reality it is very difficult to survive.
If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have hurriedly built the sample Duan Wenjun wanted all morning.
With twenty-two charcoal hot pots, he can earn nearly fifty cash per hot pot, which is more than one tael of silver.
This is a big business for him, equivalent to nearly a month's income.
With such a big business, he naturally has to do his best.
Moreover, he needs money now.
Because the one in his family is about to give birth.
In the future, there will be another mouth in the family, and it is time to spend money.
At this moment, he was very worried, fearing that if he made Duan Wenjun unhappy, his financial path would be cut off.
"Can you earn three to five taels of silver a month?" Duan Wenjun stared at Ma Xinyuan and spoke again.
Ma Xinyuan's face changed slightly, and he suddenly screamed in his heart.
It seemed that I was too impatient.
The samples were produced so quickly that Master Duan must have felt that the price he charged was too high.
Also, I made two samples this morning, which does seem to be a bit fast.
So he looked at Duan Wenjun and discussed, "Master Duan, if you think the price negotiated before is too high, how about you lower it by another ten cents?"
Duan Wenjun kept staring at the charcoal hot pot in his hand and said nothing.
Ma Xinyuan felt that Duan Wenjun felt that he had lowered himself too little.
Also, he is the eldest young master of the Duan family, so he may really despise this ten cents.
However, that was only ten coins, which added up to two hundred and twenty coins, which was a huge income for his blacksmith shop.
Ma Xinyuan gritted his teeth and continued, "Then I'll give you 30 cents cheaper! If you lower the price..."
"Thirty cents cheaper?" Duan Wenjun frowned and finally looked up at him.
Ma Xinyuan's face turned pale. It seemed that Master Duan didn't even give him thirty cents as a profit.
"Master Duan, let's give it 40 cents cheaper! It can't be any less!" Ma Xinyuan almost cried. "Excluding the cost, a villain can really earn up to 50 cents. Please Master Duan..."
Ma Xinyuan moved to Wangjiang County quite a few years ago.
Before, he had heard many things about the eldest young master of the Duan family. He was domineering and had his own way of doing things. He could be considered a tyrant in Wangjiang City.
Although I heard recently that the young master seems to have changed his temper, there are rumors that after he woke up after being injured, he seemed to have become a different person, much kinder than before.
However, Ma Xinyuan didn't know whether it was true or false.
Ma Xinyuan began to regret why he was so eager for quick success and built the prototype so quickly.
If I weren't so anxious, maybe Master Duan wouldn't care so much...
If I make Master Duan unhappy, not to mention not making any money, maybe someone will destroy his stall when he is angry. What can an ordinary person like me do?
This stall is here, even if the income is not much and life is harder, life can still go on.
But if all the stalls are smashed, how will I live in the future and support my wife and the child who is about to be born?
Qin Siya on the side seemed to understand at this moment. Is this Wenjun trying to lower the price?
Although she didn't know what Duan Wenjun was using for building this thing, and she didn't know how much the blacksmith could really earn by building one, but looking at the honest and honest look of the blacksmith, she really felt that Duan Wenjun was bullying people.
She knew that although the Duan family was not as good as before, Duan Wenjun seemed to be a little unkind for his wealth to exploit such a common man.
Just when Qin Siya was angry and wanted to get angry, she was stopped by Jiang Shuying on the side.
Although Jiang Shuying's ideas were similar to Qin Siya's, she had some other ideas.
The Duan Wenjun she knew would never bargain for such a small profit.
Especially, in front of friends.
She still remembers the scene where Duan Wenjun spent a lot of money just to make her smile. How free and easy was that?
Is it possible that after he expressed his feelings, he no longer had any concerns?
Or was it because you couldn't get yourself before that you were so generous?
No, definitely not possible.
Jiang Shuying vaguely felt that Duan Wenjun might not be trying to get the owner of the blacksmith shop to lower the price, but had other ideas.
Or maybe the blacksmith is a very thoughtful person, so Duan Wenjun wants to target him?
After all, some people look honest and honest, but are actually very shrewd. Maybe this blacksmith boss is like this?
She wanted to wait and see.
The curtain of the carriage parked at the door was raised. Qin Feng heard the movement here and stretched out his head to watch.
Mo Shoucheng frowned and looked over here.
This was the first time he had encountered Duan Wenjun being so slow in paying...
Ma Xinyuan was determined, and if he didn't want the fifty cents, he wouldn't be able to make money from this business. He must not offend this man.
Just when he was about to speak, Duan Wenjun finally spoke, "Old Ma, you are not business material!"
As soon as these words came out, Ma Xinyuan's expression changed drastically. Just when he was about to speak, Duan Wenjun's voice rang out again, "Have you ever thought about developing somewhere else?"
Ma Xinyuan knelt down with a pop, "Master Duan, this businessman did this for you for free. Please don't drive me away from Wangjiang!"
