Chapter 31 Blacksmith Shop in the North of the City

Lin Yun recognized at a glance that this one was forging a waist knife.

But with such a crude and rough forging process, even if it succeeds, the waist knife will be very fragile.

At this time, Oona stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master, do you still remember me?"

A somewhat thin old man walked out of the blacksmith shop. His hair was black and white, and it was stuck to his neck with sweat. It was obvious that he had been working for a lifetime.

The hands are calloused and have bulging blood vessels.

"Haha! So it's you girl! Of course I remember, you bought a lot of animal traps from me last time! How about it? What do you want to buy this time?"

The old man was in a good mood. He knew that the barbarian woman in front of him had money and it was a big deal every time he came.

Lin Yun was still at the door, watching the two apprentices forge attentively.

After he has the ability to mine hematite in the future, he will also smelt iron. Although his smelting technology is definitely better than this, he also wants to learn the smelting methods of this world.

Oona looked around cautiously, and when no one was paying attention, she leaned into the old blacksmith's ear and whispered: "I want a batch of equipment, silver helmets, silver armor, spears and sabers!"

The old blacksmith took a breath and looked at the incomparably beautiful barbarian woman in front of him in surprise.

"Little girl, are you...are you crazy? Forging these equipment privately is a capital crime of beheading!!"

Oona smiled and said: "Just tell me how much money you want! If it's suitable, I'll buy it from you!"

She didn't believe that the old blacksmith had a clean ass.

There are countless robber nests hidden within a radius of several hundred miles near Yucheng.

The weapons in the hands of these robbers are very sophisticated.

The government and the Lin family would definitely not provide it to them, so the robbers must have bought it from the blacksmith shop themselves.

The old blacksmith was stunned for a while and said: "There are many talkative people outside, let's come in and talk!"

When he heard that such a big business was coming to his door, the old blacksmith naturally had to be cautious.

Oona nodded, turned around and saw Lin Yun concentrating on the two apprentice blacksmiths, and said angrily: "Mr., come in quickly!"

The old blacksmith suddenly understood and couldn't help but look Lin Yun up and down.

He was not stupid, he knew that the one who wanted the equipment must be this handsome and handsome young man.

Lin Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Do I still need to step in for such a trivial matter?"

"Nonsense! If you don't come forward, do you want me to come forward as a prostitute?"

Lin Yun was completely speechless.

You can only go into the blacksmith shop.

The old blacksmith immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: "Young Master looks very strange. I wonder which family he belongs to?"

"Lin!"

Lin Yun could just move out of Lin's house and get everything done in one step, saving the old guy from asking questions here and there.

Moreover, it was impossible for Lin Yun to tell him that he was the lord of Niubei Village.

Sure enough, when the old blacksmith heard that it was the Lin family, he took a deep breath.

He said in shock: "Lin family? Could it be..."

"That's right! It's the one you're thinking of!"

Lin Yun smiled even brighter.

"Can we talk about price now?"

Lin Yun didn't want to waste too much time. After all, it took time to forge this batch of equipment. Naturally, the sooner the better.

"Oh...ok! I wonder how many sets of equipment Mr. Lin needs? The final price will be determined based on the quantity!"

Lin Yun nodded and said, "Excuse me, how much does the iron used to make equipment cost per pound now?"

"This... one ton of pig iron sand on the market costs one hundred taels of silver! This is the most basic situation. Don't you know?"

People in this world don't know about iron ore. There is a huge pit in Tieshiling, where fine iron sand can be obtained directly. After high-temperature calcination, molten iron can be obtained, which can then be roughly processed to obtain pig iron. Lin Yun thought carefully, but couldn't help but frown.

Iron sand can be directly calcined and used to make various iron tools.

And Niubei Mountain is covered with hematite.

Although the quality is definitely better than iron sand, the smelting process is extremely demanding, which will virtually increase the initial investment cost.

Without a huge advantage, I'm afraid it won't be able to compete with ordinary iron sand.

Lin Yun was immediately in trouble.

He murmured: "It seems that I can only work hard on the forging process!"

He has to be precise in his positioning.

Do you make money by selling iron or making weapons and ammunition?

On the side, the old blacksmith looked at Lin Yun in confusion, feeling extremely shocked.

He had been working with iron all day long, so he naturally understood what Lin Yun meant by the forging process.

Oona secretly screamed, she quickly pushed him and said, "Sir, what are you thinking about?"

Lin Yun finally woke up and said with a smile: "Sorry, I just got distracted! Very good, I want to make a hundred pieces of equipment now, how much money do you need?"

Although there are only more than fifty people now, they have finally come to purchase equipment, so they naturally need to prepare more.

"A hundred sets?" The old blacksmith glanced at Oona, and his old eyes flashed. This is a big deal. If he can eat it, he can make a lot of money.

"Since this lady is a regular customer and the young master is a member of the Lin family, I will calculate it at 20% off the market price! The average price of a set of equipment is one and a half silver, so the young master will give me one hundred and fifty Ten taels of silver is ready!"

Lin Yun thought for a moment and said: "Let's do this! I will give you two hundred taels of silver, and leave the remaining fifty taels with you first. I will bring a drawing and ask you to help me build some parts!"

He just had an idea and planned to try to make a pure iron pistol.

Although the bamboo gun is simple and convenient, its service life is not long, and it is also dangerous. It is easy to injure yourself by exploding the barrel.

Lin Yun also wants to make a sophisticated and durable pistol for self-defense.

The old blacksmith was overjoyed. He had never expected that the young master of the Lin family was so heroic.

He smiled and said, "No problem! Mr. Lin can rest assured that this silver is in my hands!"

Lin Yun unwrapped the package and took out two hundred taels of silver.

Looking at the white snowflakes and silver on the table, the old blacksmith's eyes shone.

What he usually receives most are copper plates, and occasionally some broken silver. If he is lucky, he can receive a whole ingot of silver.

And these are all brand new snowflake silver, which indirectly proves that Lin Yun is indeed of noble status.

On the side, Oona was also stunned by Lin Yun's generosity.

She understood that her husband must have new ideas.

However, as long as money is spent wisely, she won't say much.

If this batch of equipment can be obtained this time, Niubei Village's strength will definitely reach a higher level.

Lin Yun nodded and said, "How long will it take to complete these one hundred sets of equipment?"

The old blacksmith thought for a moment and said, "If we hurry up and work quickly, it will take about a week!"

"One week... that's fine! Then I'll pick it up next week, so hurry up!"

"No problem! Mr. Lin can leave your address, and after I'm done, I can send someone to deliver it to my house!"

"No need! I will send someone personally when the time comes! I am not from Yucheng, and I don't want others to notice! I also hope you can always keep it a secret for me! If our cooperation is pleasant, I will come to you again in the future!"

"That's...that's!!"

The old blacksmith nodded and bowed in agreement.

Lin Yun took Oona and left.
