Reborn to choose a husband, I will lead the deposed prince to seize my ex-husband’s kingdom
Chapter 96 Trying the Blacksmith
After leaving Qingyuan, Xu Mingyue did not go back home, but turned around and went to Huang's blacksmith shop.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and Xu Mingyue has already put on a big cloak, but all the blacksmiths in the blacksmith shop are wearing thin clothes. With the constant swinging of the hammer, the hard muscles on the arms and chest are clearly exposed.
Tiantian jumped off the carriage, pretended to be calm and walked into the iron shop, trying her best not to look at the blacksmith who was forging iron.
However, Yu Guang has a consciousness of his own.
Because Tiantian thinks it looks really good.
This time, it seemed better than last time.
"Blacksmith Huang, can the silver needle my master ordered be ready?"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper bent down to open the drawer and handed the two sets of silver needles to Tiantian: "It will be ready in the morning. Can you see if it is consistent with the nobleman's request?"
Tiantian has been practicing medicine with Xu Mingyue for many years, so naturally she can see some knowledge.
I took out two silver needles and shook them. I felt that although the quality of the needles was not bad, it was still a bit weak and far inferior to the set Xu Mingyue was currently using.
However, it cannot be compared. The set that Xu Mingyue is currently using was given to him personally by King Yao when he accepted Xu Mingyue as his disciple. This blacksmith shop must not understand the secrets that only an expert can understand.
"My master is outside, I'll let her take a look first."
As soon as he saw Tiantian's attitude, Huang Tiejiang knew that he had to change, and the smile on his lips became stiff.
It's not that custom-made things can't be modified, but it's just that these gadgets are much more difficult to make than the sword.
Tiantian understands Blacksmith Huang's worries: "My master wants to save people with this silver needle, so of course he can't be careless at all."
"But don't worry, my mistress is always generous with her actions. As long as she does what she wants, you will be rewarded with silver."
After saying this in a sparse and ordinary tone, Luo Feihu, who was hammering the iron with a hammer in one hand and pliers in the other, took an extra look at Tiantian.
He has been working in this blacksmith shop for seven years, and it has been too long since he has seen such an honorable family who talks about saving people.
It seems that all the nobles in the capital have been softened by this wealth, and the bloody spirit they once had seems to have completely disappeared.
Luo Feihu looked at people with a very aggressive look. Tiantian suddenly turned his head and quickly looked away when his eyes met, and his ears turned red for a moment.
The blacksmith's hard tendon meat was really too strong under the light of the fire and the sun.
Suppressing her annoyance, Tiantian ran to the carriage with the silver needle: "Master, two sets of silver needles have been shot. Can you see which ones need to be changed?"
Xu Mingyue took the silver needle in her hand, rubbed it around a few times, and flicked it with her fingertips. She had a basic understanding of the strength of this blacksmith shop.
When Xu Mingyue ordered these two sets of silver needles at Huang Blacksmith half a month ago, Xu Mingyue's purpose was not to use them, but to test the blacksmith's strength.
Now, Xu Mingyue found that the blacksmith could really make two better sets of silver needles for her, so she naturally felt that the two things could be done together.
Picking up the veil to cover her face, Xu Mingyue got off the carriage herself. When she passed Luo Feihu's side, her steps hesitated for a moment.
Taking steps again, Xu Mingyue walked towards Blacksmith Huang: "This is the first time I can produce such quality. Your iron shop is indeed one of the best in the capital."
When Blacksmith Huang saw the owner of the family coming with the silver needles in person, he knew that the silver needles he made could not meet the owner's requirements. Now he might be asking for accountability.
But I never expected that the master would start by praising me, and Blacksmith Huang's face also looked much better: "You have given me a lot of praise, do you think there are any areas that need to be modified?"
Xu Mingyue took out a silver needle, held the handle of the needle and turned it several times in the palm of her hand: "If my fingertips sweat when I place the needle, or if they tremble slightly due to the special environment, the handle of the needle will be easily lost."
Xu Mingyue folded the silver needle again: "If such a tough silver needle pierces the skin of a patient and breaks accidentally, it will be life-threatening."
Xu Mingyue used the firelight to bake the silver needle and inserted it directly into the tip of her finger: "Although the needle tip can penetrate the skin and flesh, if it is sharper, it can make the patient less painful."
Xu Mingyue demonstrated in person, and Huang Tiejiang naturally understood his request, but he still had concerns in his heart: "The noble man wants to save others, but the villain should have agreed, but such a request is indeed too high."
With a smile in her eyes, Xu Mingyue understood that it was time to negotiate the price:
"I'll pay the money I set before, and it will be treated as if I bought the two sets of silver needles now. If you can do what I said, one set will be counted as one hundred taels."
Xu Mingyue is not short of money now, and the things that can be solved with money are all trivial matters.
Blacksmith Huang's heart moved, and his eyes flashed: "Huzi, come here and take a look."
Luo Feihu walked to Huang Blacksmith with his golden sword, and stretched out his hand towards Xu Mingyue, which was broad and dark, stained with black dust and moisture.
"My lord, I wonder if I could take a look at the silver needle you are currently using."
Xu Mingyue nodded towards Tiantian, and soon Tiantian took out the silver needle from the medicine box, lowered her head and handed it to Luo Feihu's hand.
Luo Feihu held the silver needle and looked at it carefully for a while: "The handle of the needle can be embossed to increase the feeling of friction. When making the needle, use a little more firepower. When grinding the needle, use fine sandpaper to grind it several times. This needle can be used. "
Xu Mingyue nodded towards Tiantian, who took out fifty taels of silver from the money bag and put it in Huang Blacksmith's hand.
Thinking about the delivery time of the current batch of silver needles, Tiantian said: "In five days, we will pick up the new silver needles."
"Five days are not enough." Luo Feihu looked up at Tiantian, thought for a while and said: "If you want to achieve this level, at least half a month."
Xu Mingyue was extremely satisfied with the solution proposed by Luo Feihu, and had no intention of rushing the construction deadline:
"Then half a month. Then I'll ask you to personally deliver it to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion. If there are any changes you want to make, I'll tell you face to face."
After the matter was settled, Xu Mingyue and Tiantian turned and left.
Passing by Luo Feihu's blacksmithing place again, Xu Mingyue held the finished sword blade in one hand and made several gestures with it.
The north wind blows in the face, and the black hair is cut off directly as if it touches the blade.
This sword is lighter and sharper than the other swords.
And Xu Mingyue chose to come to Huang's Blacksmith Shop precisely because she saw such a sword in Ah Quan's place.
After stepping on the stool and getting into the carriage, Xu Mingyue pushed open the window, looked at Luo Feihu who was standing at the bellows, and nodded slightly.
The driver drove the carriage forward. Tiantian looked at Xu Mingyue and asked, "Has the girl taken a liking to that tiger?"
Xu Mingyue chuckled, and naturally understood that she was looking at one thing, not the other.
"It's you who looks at him at all times. When he comes closer, your hands holding the money are shaking."
Tiantian covered her hot cheeks with both hands, lowered her head and muttered: "Although he is a little darker, he has a strong body and is very strong when forging iron. He is completely different from the people I have seen."
Xu Mingyue had no intention of continuing to ask questions.
Looking at a man more because he is different from others is nothing.
If Xu Mingyue kept asking, it would be easy for Tiantian to have some misunderstanding and make some inappropriate decisions.
That would be a big mistake.
Picking up the sword bought from Huang's blacksmith shop again, thinking about Luo Feihu's age, he knew that this skill must be passed down by an expert.
Swords on the battlefield have no eyes. If the swords held by soldiers are lighter and sharper, they will have more chances of winning and saving their lives.
If you want to do your job well, you must sharpen your weapons. Xu Mingyue feels that she has found the answer to the weapon-making issue that has been bothering Xu Minghuai for many years.
But the problem of weapon casting over there is definitely not something that a highly skilled blacksmith can solve.
