Chapter 79 - 79. Lack of Blacksmiths
Seeing his daughter sitting at the table giving orders to others, Old Man Tian sighed to his son Tie Zhu, "Your sister, Erya, is really promising. Our family is finally turning around."

Tie Zhu whispered: "Father, keep your voice down so that others can hear the joke."

"What a joke! Your sister is now the president of the five sword shops, and from now on, you have to respect us as masters and young masters." Old man Tian walked up to Tian Erya in a big way, and saw that she was still explaining things to Steward Lu. , Cough twice.

Seeing him, Tian Erya smiled and said, "Father, sit aside first, and wait for me for a while." Then, she continued to explain to Steward Lu: "Don't cook for me alone, I will eat the same food as the blacksmiths. Good. Thank you for reporting to Mr. Zheng. It would be a waste of time to send the half-forged scissors to Zheng’s blacksmith yard for processing every day. In order to speed up the progress, I want to build a closed room here as soon as possible. Please strike the iron yard People moved here. Please rest assured, Mr. Zheng, the closed space will not allow outsiders to enter, let alone reveal the Zheng family’s knack for forging scissors.”

Steward Lu glanced at Zheng Yuansheng, seeing Zheng Yuansheng nodding, he agreed to leave.

Tian Erya let out a sigh of relief, and turned to Old Man Tian: "Father, why are you here?"

"I heard that you are in charge here, so I don't quite believe it, so hurry up and take a look. I didn't expect you to be in charge of people." Old man Tian looked around and praised repeatedly: "Ah, there must be a hundred people here, they all Listen to you, you are really amazing. I heard that you are making excellent scissors now, and the adults in the Armed Forces Institute appreciate you very much, and entrust you with all the errands of purchasing scissors in the Armed Forces Institute. You are too talented, Give our Tian parents face."

Tian Erya smiled wryly: "Father, where do I have that ability? It's the Armed Forces Institute that leads the overall situation, and Master Zheng Si is planning behind the scenes. I'm just going to start."

The old man Tian waved his hand: "Don't be so modest. That day, your brother and I didn't go to Caishikou, but we all heard people say that you are very good on stage, and those big people have various problems that make it hard for you. Respond one by one, and hand over a pair of scissors that many people have never seen before. Later, you have to tell us about the scene at that time."

"I'll talk about it later, I'm busy now!"

"Girl, now that you are capable, you can also find a good job for your father and brother that makes money and is easy!"

Tie Zhuweng said angrily: "Father, didn't we agree in advance? We asked my sister to arrange a job as a blacksmith for us, and no other requests were allowed. Why do you go back on your word? Start picking three Pick the four, choose the light and fear the heavy. How can you let your sister lead others to work like this? Others will definitely gossip behind and won't cooperate with my sister."

Zheng Yuansheng settled accounts on the side, listening to their conversation in his heart.

"You are usually like a boring gourd, why are you talking so much today?" Old man Tian glared at him, then turned to greet his daughter with a smile, "My daughter, what do you think your father and brother should do?"

Tian Erya replied: "Of course I'm doing my job. There's a shortage of blacksmiths here, so you're here just in time."

Old man Tian was a little angry: "You let your father and your brother do hard work?"

"You are a blacksmith, so you should work as a blacksmith!" Tian Erya took her brother's hand, "Brother, we are in shortest blacksmith right now. If you and dad don't come, I have to send someone to find you. You are a good hand at forging scissors, you must work hard this time and help me."

Tie Zhu nodded vigorously: "Sure, I will work hard and not embarrass you."

Old man Tian was dissatisfied: "Girl, you are in charge now anyway, how can you let us still work as a blacksmith? You are too shameful. At least let me and your brother be in charge and manage others."

Tian Erya smiled helplessly: "Father, are you here to take care of people and enjoy life as a daughter? Since you know that I have received this job, you should also know that the Armed Forces Academy asked me to hand over [-] scissors within half a month. Ask me and the bosses of those sword shops. My head is still hanging! I am busy with a lot of things during the day, and in the dead of night, I am sharpening my scissors and thinking about what I missed. I am in a very difficult situation. Don’t let me Difficulty, help me forge iron and forge scissors here, and I will give you wages on a piece-by-piece basis like others. You have worked hard for half a month, and you must earn more than you do outside."

"I won't do it! Daughter sits and enjoys leisure while letting father do heavy work. Is there anyone like you?"

"Ye, didn't I say that? After I'm done with work, I'll go to blacksmithing and sharpening my scissors." Tian Erya saw him knocking on the pipe, and snatched it away, "Father, I'm telling you, It’s not easy to have this opportunity to make money. Don’t be ignorant.”

The old man Tian jumped: "How does this girl talk? I am your father! Even if you let me do the same work as others, shouldn't you pay me twice as much as others?"

Tian Erya picked up a pair of scissors to check: "Father, you are thinking too much. I promised in front of Mr. Zhou that I will not lose money for this job. If everyone wants to raise their wages, if the task is not completed, I will not be able to keep my head. You are my dear father, I hope you will work hard here, help me, and don't make trouble for me. If you really don't agree, please leave. "

Tie Zhu pulled the old man Tian, ​​seeing that he was not moving in anger, he said to his sister: "I stay here to work, what am I doing now?"

"You go to the iron furnace on the far side to smelt iron."

"Okay." Tie Zhu strode over, put on his apron and started working.

Old man Tian couldn't do anything alone, seeing his daughter ignoring him, he could only go to help his son.

Tian Erya said to Zheng Yuansheng: "Fourth young master, my father and my brother are both good blacksmiths. I keep them here entirely according to my needs. If you and Mr. Zheng feel inappropriate, please tell me, and I can let them go at any time." .”

Zheng Yuansheng was a little surprised: "Are you trying to avoid suspicion?"

"Yes. I don't want others to think that I'm working here, pulling my family here, being greedy for cheap, and playing tricks. If you have no objection to their working here, I will give my father and my brother a piece of money Write it down on the account, clearly."

"You're so impartial, I don't even know what to say." Yuan Sheng of Zheng Nong spread his hands, expressing helplessness.

Tian Erya is having fun.

Zheng Yuansheng said with a smile: "Right now, what we need most is a blacksmith. Your father and brother can come to deliver charcoal in the snow."

"Fourth young master's words are nice. Fourth young master, I'm going to see how much fuel is left, thank you for watching here."

"Go! Don't worry, take your time on the road." Zheng Yuansheng saw her walking in three steps and two steps, and hurriedly shouted behind him, but he didn't know if they heard her, and soon disappeared. He smiled helplessly. laugh.

A blacksmith huddled at the door and poked his head. Zheng Yuansheng was the only one left in the room. He walked in cautiously and said with a bitter face, "Fourth young master, my mother is sick, I have to go back and take a look."

Zheng Yuansheng's heart tightened, now there is a shortage of blacksmiths, if one person is missing, the construction period will have to be extended.
