Jiaohu

Chapter 23
"Then you go to their house and him or you'll have it,"

Zhao Erdan acted quite calmly,
"Could it be that if you go to uncle, will uncle give it to you?"

"Nonsense, he crawled out of my mother's stomach. His things are mine. Of course he should give me what I want. The problem is that little bastard,"

When talking about Zhao Huniu, Zhao Lan was obviously a little scared; she cleared her throat and said viciously:

"I don't know what that little bastard talks to her father all day long. That guy dares not listen to me now."

"Hmph, the little bastard is going to get married sooner or later. According to me, grandma, you can find any man in the village to match her with. If you stay at home, you will be wasting our family's food.

Her mother died a long time ago. It stands to reason that you are the only female elder in the family, so the marriage should be arranged by you. "

"Yes!"

Zhao Lan clapped her hands and expressed her agreement with Zhao Erdan's words.
"It's still my good grandson who is smart," the old woman said in a voice that almost gritted her back molars:

"Wait for me to search around in the village,

This threshold exits that threshold and enters, sending her out directly. "

In the past few days, Zhao Lan has visited Zhao Huniu's house several times.
Every time you have to go along with something.Before Zhao Huniu brought back chicken, duck and fish from the county town, Zhao Lan took some of them home.

Zhao Huniu didn't bother to care about the short and long.

Although she won't be going to Jianlin Mountain these few days, Pingshan will still go, after all, she has to abide by the contract with Jinlulou,

The day is no different from before,
The only one who bothered Zhao Huniu was that Zhao Lan didn't know what was going on crazy, so she just came here, and she always talked to Zhao Cunwu about sending her to marry, which made Zhao Huniu very upset, but it was hindered. In front of Zhao Cunwu, she couldn't do anything to Zhao Lan,
no way,
She chose to go out often, out of sight and out of mind.

Soon, the time agreed with Li's Iron Shop arrived.Zhao Huniu carried a sack of quail and pheasants, drove a donkey cart into the city, first went to Jinlulou to pay the goods, and then turned to Li's iron shop.
Li Meng moved a small bench and sat outside to wait,

Seeing Zhao Huniu coming in the donkey cart from a distance, a hearty laugh suddenly resounded.

"Hahaha, I knew, you little girl must have come early. Come, come, your things are ready," said Li Meng, standing up from the bench, entering the shop and beckoning to Zhao Huniu.

Li Chui came out from the back room, holding a piece of lead gray fine cloth in his hand; Li Meng took the fine cloth and held it in front of Zhao Huniu,

"be honest,
I don't really like to fight with short knives."

The man looked at Zhao Huniu, "Shorter weapons cost less material, but it takes the same mental effort as making long weapons. Rather, it takes more energy. Whether it is smelting or quenching, a little If you don't pay attention, all your previous efforts will be wasted.

But this dagger I dare say,
It is the most proud work of my half life.”

When he said this, Li Meng's tone was filled with excitement and pride,

"I promise you will be very satisfied with this knife, even more so than the gun I gave you last time."

With that said, Li Meng lifted the bundle in his hand,
A short knife, exactly the same as what Zhao Huniu left behind, lay quietly in the middle of the furoshiki.

Zhao Huniu looked at the dagger carefully,

The outer scabbard is just simple cowhide. After pulling out the short knife, I saw the cold light like blue waves, and the edge of the knife hid the autumn light.

She could tell at a glance that this knife could definitely split tendons and break bones without any effort—"Good knife!"

"Hahahaha know the goods!"

Hearing Zhao Huniu praise the short knife, Li Meng felt very happy; he picked up the short knife and waved it casually a few times, there was a faint sound of piercing through the air,
"How many such good weapons can a blacksmith make in a lifetime? With such a weapon, there will be no regrets in this lifetime,"

After waving it a few times, Li Tie handed the knife to Zhao Huniu with the handle facing outwards,

"Come on little girl, try it."

Zhao Huniu gladly took it.

The starting weight is just right, neither light nor heavy: too light and floaty, too heavy and clumsy.The handle of the knife has also been processed so that it is not easy to get rid of it when using it.

The most important thing is the blade part.

It is exactly the same as the painting on Zhao Huniu's drawing.

Zhao Huniu didn't even need to swing like Li Meng to judge whether the knife was useful or not.
"Master Li, do you have pig iron?"

"Have,"

As soon as Li Meng lifted his chin, Li Chui immediately went to the wall and lifted a small piece of pig iron over to put it on the table; he raised the knife and dropped it, and the piece of pig iron was actually split into two halves!
Everyone present except Zhao Huniu almost dropped their jaws in shock.

"This, what is this?"

This knife was made by Li Meng, and he knows better than anyone else that although it is sharp, this short knife is far from being able to cut iron like mud; but in this girl's hands, it can cut pig iron in half,
Even if he had spent half his life fighting for others, he couldn't help being shocked.

"How did you do it, little girl? This knife is not so fast."

This knife is indeed not that sharp, but Zhao Huniu poured some internal energy into it, and it can make this knife so sharp - but it can withstand the infusion of internal energy, which is enough to prove the goodness of this short knife broken.

"Not bad, Master Li, this is indeed a good knife, so I will accept it,"

Zhao Huniu put the dagger back into its scabbard and pinned it to her belt.

Li Meng and his son were still immersed in the surprise of seeing Zhao Huniu splitting the pig iron just now. Zhao Huniu untied the purse and put it directly on the blacksmithing stove next to it.

"Here is 50 taels, which is knife money."

"50 taels? 50 taels is too much, this knife is not worth 50 taels, 35 taels is enough."

"Of course it's worth it,"

Zhao Huniu nodded slightly,
"The 50 taels I gave are reasonable, and you, Master Li, are also reasonable."

Li Meng's heart trembled.

He reported 35 taels to Zhao Huniu because the material used to make the dagger was exactly 35 taels; Zhao Huniu gave him 50 taels because he spent the ten days in addition to the cost of pyrotechnics and iron materials. The heart and soul of this dagger.

Even though I didn't say a word, can this girl still see it,

What excited Li Meng more than earning 15 taels was Zhao Huniu's appreciation and affirmation of her blacksmithing skills.

Learn literary and martial arts, sell goods to the emperor's house,
What can be more refreshing than being affirmed by others for the results of your meticulous creation?

"Hahahaha, okay, then I'll take the 50 taels,"

Li Meng took the purse into his hand, but without opening it, he just threw it into Li Chui's hand,

"As you said, girl, I should take the 50 taels."

One tall and one short, one old and one young looked at each other and laughed knowingly.

Now that Ben Lei Li Li Huo is gathered together, it's time to go up to Jianlin Mountain again.After Zhao Huniu came out of the iron shop of Li's family, she went straight to the fire shop of the Escort Bureau, and bought a lot of things that are not powerful, but if used at the right time, they can produce unexpected effects.

After this trip, Zhao Huniu almost spent all the money she earned from selling fox and snake meat last time.

Everything was ready, Zhao Huniu went to Jinlulou again,

I made it clear to Boss Jin that I might not be able to deliver quails in the future,

Zhao Huniu drove the donkey cart back to Brassica Village.

Just arrived at the gate of Brassica Village,
From a distance, I saw three people surrounding one person. The person surrounded by him was tall and strong, but he fell down on the ground and cried loudly, which was very inconsistent with his appearance.
Zhao Huniu knew all these people,

Outside is Zhao Erdan, and his cronies Zhao Shouyuan and Zhao Xiaojia; surrounded by them is Zhao Fool.

Fool Zhao has no name,
Everyone called him a fool.Because he is from Brassica Village, his name is Fool Zhao,

He is a real fool.A person in his teens is no different from a child of five or six years old.I heard that his father died early, as for his mother,
On a dark and windy night, he ran away with people from other villages.His grandma raised him until he was 14 years old,

When he was 14 years old, the villagers in the village contributed money and carried his grandmother to the ancestral grave in Brassica Village.Fool Zhao just lived in a dilapidated house at the head of the village for five or six years.

On weekdays, he lives on the relief of the villagers, and everyone knows that he is a hard-working person, and no one will make things difficult for him—Zhao Zizi often sits at the head of the village and looks at the rapeseed field. If anyone passes by, he will call him a fool Only words that make people laugh,
Nobody cares what he says,
No one cares why he looks at the rapeseed field all year round in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Not bullying Fool Zhao has become a tacit rule in Brassica Village, but what Zhao Huniu sees now is that Zhao Erdan and his gang surround him, and Fool Zhao falls to the ground crying like a child .

Zhao Huniu frowned.

She turned over and got off the donkey cart,
"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Stop crying! You fucking cry..."

When Zhao Erdan was irritated by Zhao Fool's crying, he heard a cold female voice behind him - he jumped suddenly, and jumped directly from where he was standing to the middle of Zhao Xiaojia and Zhao Shouyuan,

Looking at Zhao Huniu standing behind her, she looked disdainful.

"Why are you again?! Are you a fucking ghost? Where are you?!"

Seeing that it was Zhao Huniu and Zhao Erdan, she was startled and angry, and felt that Zhao Huniu was always following her lingeringly.But he still can't beat her!

And it is becoming more and more invincible!

"Now you are not asking me, but I am asking you,"

Zhao Huniu glanced at Fool Zhao who was still sitting on the ground crying, and said coldly:

"What are you doing?"

"What are you doing... you, you," Zhao Xiaojia swallowed from the side, and said in a trembling tone,
"You... don't you have eyes?"

"Ok?"

Zhao Huniu's casual glance made Zhao Xiaojia silent, and unconsciously took a few steps back, trying to avoid Zhao Huniu's eyes,
Just when several people were in a stalemate, Fool Zhao suddenly got up from the ground, rushed to Zhao Huniu's side and hugged her,
Zhao Huniu's complexion changed, but before she could break free, she heard Fool Zhao howling in a miserable voice:

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
