Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 136 Drunk and drunken people recommend people
After lunch, Zhao Zhen and the other two rested in the backyard room for a while. Bai Zhi and Jin Cuilian still went to the hospital and restaurant, while Zhao Zhen went to the front hall to wait for the golden leopard Tang Long.

Zhao Zhen is reading Dao Zang in the hall. Although he has taken office, this book is still a bit obscure to Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen only hopes to deepen his understanding by reading more. In addition to practicing martial arts these days, I read Taoist books the most.

After reading two pages, Zhao Zhen stood up, rubbed his eyes, and looked up. Tang Long hadn't arrived yet. Zhao Zhen sighed, sat down, and wrote down what he didn't understand. He still wanted to ask Dong Laodao.

While recording, Tang Long led Zhang Da, Yang Mazi and other blacksmiths into the front hall under the guidance of Zhao Yuanli. Zhao Zhen asked everyone to sit down first and took notes himself before looking towards the hall. Tang Long and three other people were sitting, and more than a dozen blacksmith apprentices were standing in the hall. There were several weapon racks in front of them, with simple knives and three-pronged forks on them.

Zhao Zhen stood up and said: "Brother Tang Long and other brothers have worked hard. How many weapons have been made during these days?"

Tang Long said: "Master, according to the requirements of brothers, we have now made nine-handled simple knives and four-handled three-pronged forks. Brother Guanghui's iron ring hoop has also been made. Now we and the craftsmen in the blacksmith shop have made simple I have the most experience with knives and steel forks.”

Zhao Zhen picked up a simple knife, weighed it, and then put it down. He did not ask for the weight. Zhao Zhen asked, "Which handle do I want?"

Tang Long took out the last two handles from the middle, handed them to Zhao Zhen, and said: "This one was the first one the village owner asked for, the other one was added by the owner later, and the one on the side was cast for King Chao Tian .These nine simple swords are all made of hundred-melted steel, mixed with black gold, and meteorite iron on the edge. The sharpness is even worse than Brother Meng Kang's third-level pure black gold back simple sword. .”

Only then did Zhao Zhen see a small note posted on the weapons shelf, with each person's name on it. Zhao Zhen took the Pu knife and looked at it,

world log
Longtonkou Bailiancuo Golden Sword (second level, using the first-level [Bailiancuo Golden Sword] as the bone, adding a small amount of black gold to sharpen its edge)

Tang Long said: "Master, these iron materials are also used together."

world log
[Three strands of bright silver holding the sky fork] (fourth level, made of fine iron, mixed with silver sand from the sky, meteorite iron as the blade, dazzling silver, eucalyptus as the handle, with bamboo slices attached to the outside, fish glue glue, and hemp rope wrapped around it , driven into a wooden pole and decorated with varnish.)
Properties: Sharpness +5, Solidness +3.

The remaining seven plain knives are roughly the same size, and they are all of the same shape, with only different lengths.

This sword was added later by Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen took out the [Bailiancuo Golden Sword] he bought earlier, and according to the request of his brother Zhao Jin, he mixed it with black gold to create this second-level simple sword. A second-level simple sword is suitable for Zhao Jin.

Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up, and he didn't expect that the three-pronged fork, which was originally only a first-level weapon, turned into a fourth-level weapon through Tang Long's hands, which was an intermediate level weapon.

Zhao Zhen looked at them one by one, and the remaining six plain knives were marked Tao Zongwang, Liu Tang, Bai Sheng, Jiao Ting, Zhu Gui, and Meng Kang. Zhao Zhen went to look at the second weapon rack, which had the words Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, and Zhao Zhen written on it. Zhao Zhen picked up the three-pronged fork with his name written on it.

Properties: Sharpness +3, Solidness +2.

world log
Yaizhuankou black gold thick-backed plain knife (third level, Yaizhuankou, horn handle, thick and wide blade, double grooves touching the tip, made of black gold fine steel and iron, equipped with a rod.)
Properties: Sharp +4, Strong +3
Zhao Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said: "Brother, your simple sword is very well made. It is made of fine iron as the main material, plus second-level iron and third-level black gold. The blades made are all three-level. A good sword of the highest rank. Such a good sword is all thanks to the efforts of brothers. I will drink wine tonight and thank you for your efforts in forging the sword."

Just listen to Tang Long say: "Master, these four three-pronged forks are melted into the silver sand of the sky, and the quality is better than these simple knives."

Zhao Zhen said: "I remember that the original pole was only of level one. How did it become four levels instead of four?"

Tang Long said: "Master, the original three-pronged fork was made of pure silver sand from the sky. It was only lighter and lacked toughness and rigidity. Now it is blended with fine iron and meteorite iron to supplement the toughness and rigidity. It is naturally better." As he said, Yang Mazi took a square piece of iron material with shining silver in his hand and said to Zhao Zhen: "The owner of the village left a small piece in advance, which is enough to make the short blades needed by the Ruan brothers. This piece of extraterrestrial silver Sha also asks the owner to keep it, as other weapons don’t need it.”

Zhao Zhen took it and asked Zhao Yuanli to send it to the Baishi Valley Treasure House afterwards.

Tang Long continued: "Master, the last piece is this iron hoop, which is also blended with the silver sand from the sky. It is now also a third-level treasure. Next, we will cast the gun club, the remaining mourning sword, and the large broad sword. , iron melon hammer, double-pronged sword, and black gold chain, all completed one by one."

world log
Bright silver iron hoop (third level, first level iron hoop, melted into the silver sand outside the sky, a piece of bright silver, dazzling)

Characteristics: Defense +4.

Zhao Zhen said: "Brothers who have worked hard, every apprentice in the blacksmith shop will be rewarded with one melon seed, Zhang Da and Yang Mazi six. Brother Tang Long will be rewarded with ten golden melon seeds for one meritorious service."

Everyone listened and thanked Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen asked everyone to disperse, leaving only Tang Long talking. Zhao Yuanli asked Zhuang Ding to invite all the heroes separately. Soon Guanghui, Tao Zongwang, Jiao Ting, Sanruan and others all arrived.

All the heroes came to the front hall and saw the weapons on the racks. They were all happy. They took their weapons according to their names and came to express their thanks. Zhao Zhen said that there is no need to worry about the heroes without weapons. The Tang Long brothers are stepping up their efforts to build them.

Seeing all the heroes gathered together, Zhao Zhen held a banquet in the front hall to entertain them, killing pigs and sheep, fresh lotus roots and fish from the water pool, and fresh peaches, apricots, plums, etc. from the dead trees on the mountain. Plums, jujubes, persimmons, chestnuts, etc., as well as self-raised chickens, geese, ducks, etc. need not go into detail. All the heroes only care about celebrating the reward. Now that the weather is cool in the morning and evening, the newly brewed Huajia Baijiu has been stored in the cellar for drinking next year. The wine at today’s banquet was replaced by [Yicheng wine].

Several of the villagers had boiled the wine and just handed over the big bowls. At the banquet, all the heroes inevitably chatted about gossips and the activities in the world. This [Yicheng Wine] is warm in the mouth and has a softer and smoother taste. It is indeed more intoxicating than [Huajia Baijiu]. All the heroes drank from large bowls. Before I knew it, I was half drunk.

Zhu Gui was full of worries at the table, and he drank more without realizing it. The wine filled his heart with sorrow, adding to his worries.

Zhu Gui stood up and walked to Zhao Zhen, knelt down and said: "The owner of the hotel loves talents. I have only been here for a month. I am appreciated by the owner of the hotel, run the hotel, and recruit talents for the owner. But now I can't do it." I don’t have much merit, but I was given a precious sword today, and I feel terrified.”

"Now I see that all the brothers love each other, the owner of the village is extravagant and righteous, and the younger brother is now living happily with the owner of the village. My brother is still sleeping in the streets of Yishui County to work for me. Today, the villain has the effrontery to recommend my younger brother. , he also learned the simple knife from Dutou in the county, he can also run a restaurant business, and he can make wine and vinegar. The good people will welcome him, and the whole county calls him Smiling Tiger. I hope the owner of the village will not give up, and he will help me. I am grateful and will never forget it in this life.”

Zhao Zhen helped Zhu Gui up and said: "Brother, I am a big country here, and your brother is also a good boxer. It is a blessing for Liangshan Township to be able to invite him. A managerial position is indispensable."

Zhu Guidao said: "To express my gratitude to the owner of the village for his kindness, I will sneak back to my hometown tomorrow, take my younger brother and his family, and come here at starry night."

Zhao Zhen said: "It's not urgent for a day or two. Besides, it's inconvenient for one brother to be alone. I'd like to trouble Brother Han Bolong to keep you company, and bring two companions with you. Only in this way will everything be safe."

Zhu Gui thanked him and raised his glass to Han Bolong. After drinking and drinking together, they dispersed in the middle of the night.
