Chapter 1334： 640 Encounter

Xiao Yi's hand was unconsciously slightly pressed, and the edges of the silk paper immediately showed deep wrinkles.

Seeing that something was wrong with him, Old Fang was busy: "A Yi, if there is something in Luo Yuecheng, you should go back first, and Grandma will stay here for a few more days."

Xiao Yi smiled and said freely: "Maternal grandfather, don't worry, it's not a big deal." He shoved the piece of silk paper into his sleeve, waved his hand at Wang Chaoyuan, and let him back down.

The curtain was lowered, and Xiao Yi smiled and squeezed a carved plume into Nangongyu's mouth.

Mrs. Fang laughed cheerfully, and he knew that Xiao Yi had a sense of merit. Since it was not a rush, it was obviously not a big deal.

With an order, the carriage continued to move forward, and the target clearly went to the western suburbs.

Today they are going to a smelting workshop in the western suburbs of Heyu City.

This is only one of dozens of smelting workshops in Fang's family, but it is the most important one. Almost half of Fang's best masters are here.

The smelting workshop is unavoidable, and the noise is constant. Therefore, Fang Jia deliberately set up the smelting workshop in a small village about five or six miles away from Yucheng. In this small village, most of the blacksmiths working in the smelting workshop and their relatives.

Along the way, Mrs. Fang introduced this smelting workshop roughly.

Nangong Yuan has never been to a smelting workshop before, and was very interested.

There were bursts of laughter in the carriage, and Mr. Zhao, who was accompanying him, listened to Old Fang's hearty laughter, and sighed a little.

Anyway, the smelting workshop is not far away. The driver simply slowed down and moved forward smoothly without any trouble.

The flowers and scent of spring field birds make the people feel relaxed. It seems to be coming to spring, not for business.

About half an hour later, Mr. Zhao pointed to the front and said, "Old lady, it's almost here ... it's just ahead."

Thrush opened the corner of the curtain with curiosity, looked out, and found the location of the smelting workshop at a glance.

It wasn't how good her eyes were, but it was only a short while before, and it was reasonable to say that the time to leave the fire was still far away, but in the village in front there was a raging gray smoke ...

When the carriage approached a little, you could faintly hear the sound of rattling ...

A middle-aged steward of the smelting workshop had been waiting there with a few masters for a long time. When the steward saw the arrival of Xiao Yi and Mrs. Fang, they came forward to welcome him.

After seeing the ceremony, Mr. Zhao introduced Mr. Zhang's middle-aged manager to everyone, and then he said, "Zhang, Mr. and Mrs. Shi want to look around here. You are leading the way."

"Yes Yes!"

The chapter manager echoed in unison and bowed for a plea.

The smelting workshop is just behind the village, while Zhang Guanshi leads the way, he introduces the village to everyone.

This village is called Tiemen Village. At this time, the men are working in the smelting workshop, so the village is empty, and only occasionally I see one or two women in their yard or taking care of the vegetable plots or sitting on the seams. The clothes, all looked at Xiao Yi and his party curiously.

The closer to the smelting workshop at the back, the louder and louder the tapping sound, and gradually, the surrounding air became hot.

Passing through the village, you can see a row of gray bungalows in front of it. About dozens of them are neatly arranged together. At a glance, they occupy at least a dozen acres.

Zhang Guanshi pointed to the row of bungalows and said, "Old lady, grandson, the rows of houses over there are forged houses."

In words, they came to one of the bungalows. In the large room, steaming, like a huge stove, there were dozens of shirtless and sweaty Hans standing in a seat with hand-drawn bellows. In front of the stove, holding a hammer and banging ...

clang! clang! clang!

The sound of hammering continued, as if knocking down on their hearts, this scene saw an inexplicable deterrent in Nangong's eyes.

But it is a small hammer that can forge various irons for daily use, and even various weapons. It is really incredible to think about it.

Zhang Guanshi yelled aloud: "The batch of Tieya, which was set by Shizi ’s grandfather, has completed a total of 180,000 yuan yesterday, which is still the last 20,000. The blacksmiths are rushing to make the system. Don't go and see first? "

Zhang Guanshi was a little thankful that he learned yesterday that the grandfather would come to the smelting workshop with the grandfather. Fortunately, the grandfather had explained it early. The military needs of the southern Xinjiang were the most important. He must not miss the grandfather of the grandfather. Therefore, all blacksmiths these days They are giving priority to catching these Tieya.

Xiao Yixi smiled and laughed: "Maternal grandfather, this is a coincidence. Zhu Xing said that the sky would be one hundred thousand silver. It happened to be one-handed money delivery and one-handed delivery." Then, he glanced at Nangongxi with a smile. At a glance, thanks to his stinky girl who found him a silver mine, he gave birth to a cornucopia, and he was not worried about military resources for the time being.

Mrs. Fang laughed and said, "Ai, is your grandfather afraid that you can't run away? ... And this batch of iron ya is your iron ore. The grandfather collects most of your processing money. Where does it cost fifty thousand?"

"Maternal grandfather, I just made 250 iron ore, which is far from enough 200,000 iron ya." The 250 iron ore was tricked by Nangong Yu from Baiyue, But these iron ore can only create less than 100,000 iron rods, and the rest can lose the credit of Old Fang's credit.

Mrs. Fang reluctantly said, "Even if that is the case, Ai, there is too much silver!"

Zhang Guanshi heard something unexpected. He thought that this batch of Tieya Shizi had produced a lot of iron ore. The Xinjiang Army is strong, but the South Xinjiang is strong. In the past three years, South Xinjiang has fought in successive years. Although it has been defeated, the South Xinjiang has also suffered a lot of damage. As a South Xinjiang person, it is also necessary to contribute to the South Xinjiang Army.

It turns out that this world grandfather is such a clear public and private person!

It is no wonder that the people in South Xinjiang are now saying that the grandfather of the world is not like the grandfather, and his heart is more like the old grandfather who passed away.

"Maternal grandfather, do you look like I'm a loser?" Xiao Yi joked to Old Fang with a smile, "Next, I'll make a new batch of Tieya ..." Then he raised The right hand made a gesture, and the bamboo at the back immediately opened the bamboo tube in his hand, opened the lid, took out a rolled parchment paper, and handed it to Xiao Yi.

"Maternal grandfather, this is the new Tieya ..."

New Tekken? Could it be ...

Mrs. Fang glanced at Xiao Yi, and saw him wink at him with a smile, and immediately it seemed that the designs of these new Tieya must come from the hands of Anyihou!

Mrs. Fang immediately became interested. Whether it was the original design of the crossbow or later he developed a new alloy for the arrows used by the crossbow, it has proved that Guanyubai is so amazing. only!

I don't know what incredible surprise he will give this time? !!

This is not the place to speak.

Mrs. Fang raised her eyes and asked the Zhang Guanshi, "Zhang Guanshi, find a place for us to talk. Also, call Zhang Zhu!"

"Yes, old lady." Zhang Guanshi responded in a hurry, instructed a young lady to call someone, and led the crowd to a hall, and ordered the people to serve everyone with hot tea and snacks.

After a while, Xiao Zhuo, who had been called before, took Zhang Zhu into the hall.

Zhang Zhu wore a gray short punch. The weather in the early spring was a little bit cold, but Zhang Zhu's dark forehead was covered with sweat and his cheeks were flushed. At a glance, he knew that he had just arrived from the forging house. .

Zhang Guanshi's face twitched. Why didn't he clean up and come over again. Doesn't this look like a snicker? !!

Xiao Yi didn't care, he was an informal person and was impatient with the red tape.

Moreover, he found this drawing to study Tieya's drawing, not to be elegant, and the other person's dress was not important.

After Zhang Zhu saluted the old lady Fang and Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi greeted: "Zhang Zhu, come and look at this drawing." Xiao Yi said that the drawings were spread out on the round table.

Zhang Zhu strode forward, glanced down at the drawing, and saw the doorway, blurted out: "Blood trough!"

The blood groove is a groove located on the ridge or blade of the sword. It is mainly used to bleed and stay after stabbing into the body of a human or animal. Weight, for the user, is a burden reduction, and for the founder, it can save a lot of iron.

However, the blood tank is of course also disadvantageous, that is, it will weaken the strength of the weapon itself.

This disadvantage is more obvious with smaller weapons. Compared to swords, the iron crossbow used by the crossbow is much lighter, and this disadvantage is naturally more significant.

However, the design in front of him is different. The blood groove painted on it is not the conventional one, but a very special arc surface structure. Although Zhang Zhu has never built such a iron arrow, doesn't it mean he won't watch it? !! Once Tie Ya uses a curved blood groove like the design, the adverse effects of the blood tank on Tie Ya will be minimized, and its power to kill the enemy will be greater.

"Wonderful, really wonderful." Zhang Zhu stared at the drawing without blinking, his eyes burning, as if to burn the parchment paper out of two holes.

Xiao Yi's mouth twitched, this man really is an expert.

"Zhang Zhu," Xiao Yi said again, "you might make this kind of arrow?"

Zhang Zhu didn't answer immediately, and stared at the drawing for a while, his mouth moved slightly, and Zhang Guan, who was looking aside, was anxious, and shouted reminder: "Master Zhang ..."

Zhang Zhu came back to him dumbly and clenched his fists respectfully, saying, "Sister of the world, the younger can try, but the younger needs at least one or two hours ..."

Zhang Zhu looked at the drawing reluctantly, and it was obvious that the writing was different. Somehow, this drawing gave him a familiar feeling. He almost wanted to ask, whether the new alloy was originally conceived by the same person. ?

If there is an opportunity to discuss with this person, it is bound to greatly benefit his forging!

Although he thought so, he didn't dare to ask questions.

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, but it was faster than he expected, so he said: "Zhang Zhu, take this drawing, and make a sample for me!" The implication is to wait for Zhang Zhu here Forge the sample.

Zhang Zhu responded casually, and his mind ran again on the drawing.

This Zhang Zhu! Zhang Guanshi wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and quickly asked the little sister to take Zhang Zhu down.

It's already noon.

After asking about Mrs. Fang, Zhang Guanshi set up a rich table in the side hall next door. Although the craftsmanship is not as good as that of the chefs of Fangfu and restaurants, it is better to use fresh ingredients and vegetables to grow vegetables in the village Yes, the chicken, duck and fish are also raised by the villagers themselves, which are delicious and delicious.

When they had lunch and drank hot tea, they passed an hour. Zhang Guanshi was anxious in heart, wondering if he ordered his subordinates to take a look. At this moment, I heard a rush of footsteps from outside ...

Looking at the sound, I saw sweat-laden Zhang Zhu and that little sister-in-law walking quickly towards this side. Zhang Zhu held a tray in his hand and put a black arrow on it.

When the arrow was presented to Xiao Yi, Zhang Guanshi became more nervous, watching Xiao Yi's look without blinking.

Xiao Yi carefully looked at the arrow, rubbed the surface of the arrow carefully, observed the blood groove at the tip of the arrow, and then Xiao Yi's mouth was raised to reveal the color of satisfaction.

Zhang Guanshi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "This Zhang Zhu, although he speaks and behaves indifferently, is indeed a real person ..."

Xiao Yi handed this new type of arrow to Bamboo, and then commanded: "Bamboo, you have to send this iron to Qingyunwu quickly."

"Yes, Shizi." Bamboo took it respectfully.

Zhang Zhu, who stood on the side, saw that his forged Tieya had been approved by Shizi, and his face had a thick smile.

Xiao Yi directly placed an order for 200,000 arrows. Two hundred thousand silver will be delivered tomorrow. Except after clearing the previous batch of payment, the remaining amount will be regarded as a deposit. This is the way to leave.

When she returned to Heyu City, she had just passed the time.

Seeing that it was still early, Xiao Yi and Old Fang decided to continue shopping.

Although Nangong Yan was so embarrassed by their stance to buy things, the rare old lady Fang was so interested, so she responded with kindness.

The three walked from the street to the end of the street, Fang left an incense shop, bought a bunch of spices, and then turned into a calligraphy and painting shop.

Nangong Yu and Old Fang each picked up a few calligraphy and paintings, and a few solitary copies, and the shopkeeper's smile couldn't be closed. In the morning, Lord God of Wealth didn't go to his shop, and he still felt awkward. He didn't expect that the luck of the fortune could not escape, this is not the case, Lord God of Wealth still came. As soon as he shot, he bought a few pictures. Calligraphy and painting.

The shopkeeper greeted diligently: "Old Fang, Father Fang, Madam Fang, Xiao has recently got a chess board here. I heard that it was left by Qi Shengyuan, a former chess player. I don't know ..." He rubbed his hand Looked at everyone with anticipation.

Chessboard ... If Nangong Yu moves, she originally planned to pick some stones for Xiao Yu in Heyucheng, but she hasn't seen He Yan so far. If she can bring back a good chess board to Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu will definitely return. Very happy.

She was about to make a sound, but was snatched by Mrs. Fang: "Take it out, let me see!"

Nangong Ning looked at Mrs. Fang on the wheelchair and immediately understood that Mrs. Fang also wanted to give this chessboard to Mr. Xiao.

The shopkeeper reconciled and instructed the man to fetch the chessboard.

Just then, a low male voice came from behind and shouted, "Uncle, isn't this uncle?"

The crowd looked at the sound, and saw that the three were walking into the shop under the guidance of their buddies.

The three were two men and one woman, headed by a middle-aged man wearing a stone blue brocade and short hair. Behind him was a young couple in their early twenties. The young man seemed to be middle-aged. Men have four or five similar points, apparently father and son.

Mrs. Fang looked at the middle-aged man, squinting slightly, hesitating thoughtfully: "Are you ... Ziong?"

"Uncle, I'm Ziang." The middle-aged man stepped quickly to Fang's wheelchair and sighed, "Uncle, your nephew has also heard about it, and Fang's order is really hateful! ... but you are not going Are you Luo Yuecheng? "

Nangong Yu and Xiao Yi glanced at each other and would call the old lady Fang the uncle, not the mother-in-law and the family?

As far as Nangong Yu knows, the concubine of the first princess is also well-known in the southern Xinjiang, and is one of the four great families in the southern Xinjiang-Anjia.

"I just returned to Hecheng yesterday." Old Fang looked at An Ziang in front of him with some emotion. Since he "stroke" more than ten years ago, he may not have seen his family's nephew for a long time.

Mrs. Fang calmed down and said to Xiao Yi, "Ayi, this is your mother's cousin, so you should call him a cousin."

An Ziang's gaze fell on Xiao Yi, a smile of joy flashed in his eyes, and said with a smile: "This is Shizi, it is very similar to my cousin!" Then, his eyes were red, showing the color of sadness.

Xiao Yi and Nangong Yan both took a step forward and saluted each other: "I've seen the watch."

An Ziang quickly avoided it and paid half a gift again.

Subsequently, An Ziang introduced his son An Min to neutralize his daughter-in-law Feng.

A group of juniors aligned with each other and met Li.

An Minzhong is two years older than Xiao Yixu, so Xiao Yi and Nangong Yan also call each other a cousin.

After that, An Ziang enthusiastically said to the other old lady: "Uncle, this time I came to discuss a silk business with Minzhonglai and Ucheng. I did not expect to meet my uncle and Ai here so coincidentally."

Xiao Yi laughed without saying a word, he was not a fool, he knew the "coincidence" this time.

I'm afraid An Ziang learned where he and his grandmother accompanied his grandfather to return to Hecheng, so he brought his son and daughter-in-law here to meet them by chance?

Otherwise, it's enough for Anzi Ang to come and discuss business with Yucheng and bring her son, so why even her daughter-in-law?

Xiao Yi didn't care. He said politely that in this southern Xinjiang, no matter where he went, there would naturally be nods around him.

At this age, Mrs. Fang is naturally transparent, but how can you say that Anjia is indeed the wife's maiden house, and the daughter's grandmother always has relatives.

Mrs. Fang smiled openly: "Zi Ang, we haven't seen each other for more than a decade, and we rarely meet here. How about you and Min Zhong go to the house with me?"

Of course, An Ziang was desperate, and hurriedly said, "The nephew has been politely annoying his uncle." He said, there was a bit of nostalgia on his face, "It is said that the nephew has not been in his aunt's house for more than ten years. Remember, In the past, my aunt and cousin loved camellia the most. Camellia was planted in the garden and bloomed together. It was really dizzying ... "

Mrs. Fang also seemed to recall the past, and her eyes were a little stunned for a moment, and it was the thick thoughts that were about to overflow from the bottom of her eyes ...

At this time, the guy who had just gone in to get the chessboard came out holding a cypress board.

The shopkeeper watched everyone busy confessing their relatives. He was also worried that the business of this chessboard might not be completed. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Fang looked at the chessboard, and immediately bought the chessboard boldly, and instructed the shopkeeper to send those calligraphy, calligraphy, and chessboard to Fangfu.

The shopkeeper self-consistently reconciled, congratulating everyone with a smile on the carriage.

The two carriages left the painting and calligraphy shop and galloped towards Fangfu all the way.

By the time they returned to Fangfu, the sky was half-dark and half-dark.

Because he sent someone back to the house to say something about a visitor in advance, Gao Ling quickly ordered the kitchen to be prepared, and then set up a small flower hall to treat the guests.

The meal was a feast for both the host and the host. Old Fang and An Ziang recalled a lot of past events. By the end of the meal, it was already a willow head on the moon.

Seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. Fang asked Anjia's father and son to stay in the house, and instructed Gao Ye to clean the Anjia family and clean up two guest houses.

After Nangong Yu and Xiao Yi returned to Qiwuyuan, Xiao Yi looked at her tired little face and said softly, "Smelly girl, you should wash and rest." Xiao Yi had no plans to change today. How closely the schedule is arranged is also mixed.

However, Nangong Yu held the sleeve of Xiao Yi, she just remembered an old thing in the previous life, and said with a complicated expression: "Ai, how much do you know about Anjia?"
