Chapter 72: Zhao Tiehammer's Blacksmith Shop
"Don't be afraid, I am the guardian of Dahe Village. I feel your obsession and want to open a blacksmith shop with my own efforts, so I came to meet you specially and want to impart some knowledge to you!"
"Ah! You are the old immortal patron saint of our Dahe Village. Thank you to the old immortal. What knowledge does the old immortal want to impart to me? I, Zhao Tiechui, kowtow to you!"
Zhao Tiechui's face was full of excitement. Just as he was about to kneel down, the masked man's sleeves and robes waved gently. His legs seemed to have roots and could not bend even half an inch.
"It doesn't have to be like this. Just relax your mind next time."
Zhao Tiechui saw the old god's left index finger pointing at the center of his eyebrows, as if something as big as a sack was stuffed into his brain!
"ah…!"
As Zhao Tiechui shouted, he opened his eyes and stood up to see, it turned out that he had just had a dream.
Hey, is all this true? Why do I seem to have a lot more knowledge about blacksmithing in my mind? Wonderful, wonderful!
With the knowledge in my mind starting from the most basic blacksmithing to the end, and even about the artifacts used by the gods, every ingenious tempering method, and many problems that were not understood before were all easily solved.
, so how can we not make him happy.
"My son, what's wrong with you?"
"Husband, did you have a nightmare?"
At this moment, Zhao Tiechui's mother, wife and children all ran over, worried to see what was going on.
"Mom, I remember I was drinking with the village chief. Why did I fall asleep all of a sudden? Where is the village chief?"
Zhao Tiechui looked puzzled.
"What are you kidding about? You two were not allowed to drink so much, but you refused to listen. When you got drunk, it was the village chief who helped you in. The village chief left long ago. Your father is a dead pig.
He’s still asleep now!”
"By the way, mother and madam, I just had a dream about the old god in our village, and he also taught me the knowledge about blacksmithing!"
"My son, you haven't woken up yet. Did you really dream about the old god in our village?"
Zhao Tiechui's mother was full of surprise and couldn't believe it.
"Mom, how could I lie to you? The old god in our village was wearing a gray robe and a black mask. He pointed at the center of my eyebrows with his hand. When I woke up, I felt that there were a lot of things about blacksmithing in my mind.
If you don’t believe my skills and knowledge, I will make a sword for you to see!”
Zhao Tiechui was about to get out of bed and put on his shoes when his mother quickly stopped him with a look of ecstasy on his face.
"Okay, okay, how can a mother not believe in my son? It is really blessed by the old gods and the ancestors of our Zhao family. No, I have to tell the father of yours this good news!"
Zhao Tiechui's mother, giggling non-stop, ran directly to another room.
"Ah, Master, what do you smell like?"
As soon as Yang Donglai walked into the yard, two white foxes ran out to greet him.
From a distance, I could smell the smell of alcohol emanating from Yang Donglai.
Yang Donglai picked up Xiaobai and said, "Haha, Xiaobai, did your mistress prepare something delicious for you just now?"
"Yeah, of course. We ate some bacon that those two people brought over just now. It was so delicious!"
The little white fox said and sneezed directly: "Master, put me down quickly, the taste in your mouth is so bad!"
The little white fox slipped away and jumped down, looking disgusted.
Da Ya on the other side looked at this funny scene and burst out laughing.
School is over in the evening.
"Hey, look, what's written on it?"
Nowadays, with the prosperity of Dahe Village, Dahe Academy has been expanded next to the ancestral hall.
When the students of the academy came home from school, they saw a notice with handwriting posted on the gate.
"Zhao Tiechui's blacksmith shop is open. I hope the villagers will tell each other!"
As pairs of eyes saw clearly, all the children in the village returned home and told their elders, parents and neighbors. In a short time, the entire Dahe Village knew about Zhao Tiechui's blacksmith shop.
On the morning of the second day, I went in and out of Dahe Village.
Zhao Tiechui carefully put away the house number that he asked the village chief to write yesterday, and prepared to go to the town to have it framed with good wood.
"Brother Hammer, I heard that your blacksmith shop has opened. This kitchen knife of mine is missing a hole. My eldest nephew, please see if you can fill it."
Zhang Cuilan's children were out of school yesterday. When they heard that Zhao Tiechui had opened a new blacksmith shop, she remembered that the kitchen knife at home was missing a hole, so she came here early in the morning.
"Haha, Aunt Zhang, let me take a look, um, no problem, I promise it'll be fine in a while."
Zhao Tiechui was naturally happy when he saw the business coming to his door. He quickly prepared all the tools for blacksmithing and turned on the bellows to make the fire flourish.
"Well, nephew Iron Hammer, let me ask first, how much will it cost to repair our kitchen knife?"
Although people in Dahe Village are not short of those few copper coins now, people's hearts have always been like this. No matter what the price is for buyers and sellers, once it exceeds the bottom line in their hearts, no one will be taken advantage of.
Zhao Tiechui naturally understood what she meant: "Haha, Aunt Zhang, you are my first customer since I opened the business. How about this? When the kitchen knife is repaired, if you are satisfied, just give me a copper plate."
"Haha, that's okay, that's okay!" Zhang Cuilan's face was filled with joy upon hearing this.
Zhao Laohan, Zhao Tiechui's father, saw that business was coming to his door and quickly ran out to help his son.
Ding dong! Ding dong dong…!
Zhao Tiechui followed the skills he had received from the immortal in his dream and began to hammer and manipulate it. After a while, a brand new and shiny kitchen knife took shape.
After such an operation, the eyes of Aunt Zhang on the side were brightened.
"Aunt Zhang, this kitchen knife is ready. Are you satisfied with it?"
"Hey, nephew, this kitchen knife is more effective than a mirror! Great! This kitchen knife has been hammered and beaten by your hands, and it looks even newer and more beautiful than when you first bought it!"
"Auntie, I'm so satisfied. The Son of God can't let you suffer, so I'll give you two copper coins. Haha, thank you so much, nephew Iron Hammer!"
Zhang Cuilan dropped two coins, took the kitchen knife, and left happily and satisfied.
"Okay, son, I didn't expect that we haven't officially opened yet, but today we have business coming in, and we also made two copper coins. You are really good, son!"
Zhao Tiechui's family members came over happily, with proud and praising expressions on their faces.
Zhao Tiechui held two copper plates and stood there laughing silly.
"Son, just stay home and watch the stalls alone. I'll go to the town and have the noodles framed. Maybe someone will come to see you later!"
Zhao Laohan was also very happy. He put away the large piece of paper and the few big characters that Yang Donglai had written for them yesterday, and then went to the town.
"Isn't this Mrs. Zhang? The kitchen knife in your hand is very beautiful. How much did it cost?"
"Haha, where did I buy this? It's Zhao Tiechui's newly opened blacksmith shop. I just asked him to mend a hole for me. Who knew that kid's craftsmanship is so skillful? He knocked on this kitchen knife.
She has become so beautiful!”
"Really, my pot is also missing a big hole, so I quickly took it over and asked him to mend it!"
