Volume 1 First Entering the Tang Dynasty Chapter 26 Liu Jing
Liu Laosan didn't know what Lu Chen wanted to build, but it was probably very important to have his master personally supervise the work. Liu Laosan didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only lead Lu Chen to the craftsman area.
Chen followed Liu Laosan, while Lu Chen was followed by Fang Qi and Meng Ji. Now, these two people did not look like generals in the Women's Army, but rather looked like Lu Chen's bodyguards.
As for Li Xiuning, she seems to have acquiesced in this situation, otherwise Fang Qi and Meng Ji would not be able to follow Lu Chen everywhere freely.
The place where the craftsmen live is definitely not as good as the place where the soldiers live. The place where the craftsmen live is basically a shack-like residence built by the craftsmen themselves. Of course, as the leader of the craftsmen, his life is slightly better, and he will have a patched hat.
Old tent.
Not far from the tent, there is the place where the blacksmith's furnace is. There is a huge furnace with red charcoal fire burning in the furnace. Some blacksmiths are shirtless and sweating, banging iron tools on the anvil.
From time to time, there was the sound of red-hot iron being put into a bucket to cool down, and the surrounding area was filled with smoke, the smell of coke that choked the mouth and nose, and the smell of sweat mixed together, but Lu Chen and the other two didn't care at all.
Qi and Meng Ji can accept this smell. After all, they come here often and hang out with soldiers. The smell is not much better than here.
But Lu Chen didn't cover his mouth and nose, which surprised Fang Qi and Meng Ji, and Liu Laosan was also surprised. Lu Chen missed this kind of smell a little. After all, he was with the special forces team in his previous life.
After rolling around, sometimes the smell he smelled was stronger than this, so Lu Chen didn't feel any discomfort.
"Sir, this is a blacksmith furnace in the military camp, and that one over there is my son!" Liu Laosan waved directly to a young man who was helping in the distance.
The young man was about fourteen or fifteen years old. His face was streaked black and white with a mixture of charcoal dust and sweat. He was covered in tendons and wore a patched gray sweatshirt. When he saw Liu Laosan greeting him, he hurried over.
When Liu Laosan approached him, he called out naively: "Master!"
"Sir, this is my son. His nickname is Gouwa, but his real name is Liu Jing!" Liu Laosan introduced to Lu Chen, "Why don't you kowtow to me!" Then he turned around and glared at Liu Jing.
When Liu Jing heard that his father said that the handsome young man in front of him wearing strange clothes and having a strange hairstyle was an adult, he quickly lay on the ground and kowtowed.
"Okay! Get up!" Lu Chen looked at Liu Jing who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowed, and suddenly thought of the "Gouzi" in his team. Gouzi was only eighteen years old when he followed him, and he was also a
He looked like a fool, and he didn't know how Gouzi was doing now. Lu Chen was secretly sad in his heart.
"Your son's physique is much better than your father!" Lu Chen said to Liu Laosan with a smile, but his eyes showed his love for this naive young man.
"Well, I still expect this kid to inherit my craftsmanship!" Liu Laosan said with a naive smile.
"I'm afraid you have to find another apprentice. I think this boy is good. It's a pity to be a blacksmith. Let him follow me from now on! It just so happens that I also need a companion!" Lu Chen said to Liu Laosan with a smile.
"Thank you, sir!" Liu Laosan immediately pushed Liu Jing, who was still standing by, to the ground and kowtowed.
"Thank you, sir!" Liu Jing said innocently.
"Hurry up and wash up. Don't be so dirty. If others see it, they will think that I am abusing my servant!" Lu Chen directly ordered someone to take Liu Jing to freshen up. From then on, Liu Jing followed him, but
You can't look this dirty.
"Old Liu, you've reached the sky in one step!" Seeing Lu Chen wandering around the blacksmith's workshop, Fang Qi nudged Liu Laosan with his elbow, who was standing aside with a silly smile.
"Our boy is not sensible, I hope you two adults will take more care of him!" How can Liu Laosan still be ignorant of the ways of the world? Even though he is about to leave the military household and become Lu Chen's servant, after all, this is still the territory of the Detachment of Women.
, Fang Qi and Meng Ji are captains and generals, so it is very easy to repair themselves.
"Who dares to offend Liu Jing when the military advisor is guarding him? Just wait and enjoy the blessings, you old boy!" Meng Ji laughed loudly and slapped Liu Laosan on the shoulder, which almost hit Liu Laosan.
He sat down on the ground, but Liu Laosan still had a smile on his face.
In the past, these generals would never look at these craftsmen. If Liu Laosan hadn't followed Lu Chen, Liu Laosan would still be here chatting with Fang Qi and Meng Ji. Don't even think about it! So he said, "Waiting for you."
You are surrounded by good people!" This sentence still makes sense.
Lu Chen wandered around the blacksmith workshop. When Lu Chen came back, there were three blacksmiths behind him. These were the three blacksmiths that Lu Chen chose after wandering around, because Lu Chen saw these three blacksmiths.
A blacksmith was making armor leaves, which was considered a delicate job among blacksmiths, and what Lu Chen was about to make was a delicate job.
There was a steward's room in the blacksmith workshop. Lu Chen asked the steward to bring him paper and pen, and then he started to write and draw. The others stood beside Lu Chen and watched. Of course, they couldn't understand. It was typical of just watching the fun.
"Can you make this?" After a long time, Lu Chen finished painting and looked at several craftsmen and asked.
"This looks like a button, but it's different!" the blacksmith guessed as he looked at the drawing.
"This is called the stirrup strap, and this is called the stirrup buckle!" Lu Chen pointed to the things on the drawing and introduced them to several blacksmiths, "This stirrup strap needs to be made of leather, and the stirrup buckle is made of iron for now. It can only be improved later.
Say it again!”
"Understood!" With the drawings, these craftsmen can make things. The craftsmen responded. Liu Laosan held the drawings in his arms like a treasure and led a few blacksmiths to go out to make them. As for the cobbler,
Naturally, there are other people looking for it, and of course, they are looking for people with outstanding craftsmanship.
Lu Chen was sitting in the steward's room, drinking water, chatting with Fang Qi and Meng Ji. After a while, Liu Jing, who had finished washing himself, was sent over. He was wearing a cloth shirt that was a lot too big.
It's shabby and patched, and it looks like it belongs to his father.
As soon as Liu Jing came in, he kowtowed to Lu Chen, Fang Qi and Meng Ji, then put his hands in his sleeves and stood behind Lu Chen with his hands down.
Seeing Liu Jing's timid look, Lu Chen couldn't help but teach him a lesson: "Big man, why are you so timid? Stand up straight with your chest raised and your head raised!"
After hearing Lu Chen's words, Liu Jing could only try to stand up straight, but his eyes were still a little erratic. After all, the biggest official Liu Jing had seen since he was a child was the craftsman's steward, and the person sitting in the room in front of him was respectful even to the steward.
