Chapter 66, Blacksmith Shop-Long Wooden Spear and Modified Shield

President Foxtail stroked his beard and said: "It still feels a bit heavy, Punika, can it be made a little thinner?"

"Thinner? Because I didn't want to make it very thin, so I just made it according to the old method. But if you need it to be thinner, I can think of a way to re-cook these coatings. I guess It should be fine. I just don’t know if their waterproof performance will be worse than what it is now." Craftsman Punika said after stroking his beard and thinking for a while.

"Then let's try it. If it can be made thinner, the overall weight will be significantly reduced. Even if the performance is reduced, it doesn't matter." President Foxtail made the decision.

Then all that remains is the water resistance test.

Everyone gathered around the wooden basin. Four male and female apprentices each held a corner of the wrapping and carefully lifted up the wrapping containing water. The Punika craftsman quickly lifted the wooden basin under the wrapping. Pulling it aside, President Foxtail picked up the silk handkerchief from the bottom of the basin, twisted it in his hand, and then handed it to the Punica craftsman for him to see for himself.

The Punika craftsman was worried at first, but when he touched the towel in his hand, he burst into laughter: "It doesn't have any moisture at all, it's dry, you foxtail, you scared me with your stern face." .”

President Foxtail stroked his beard with a smile and pulled the handkerchief back: "This is a rare thing. With your rough hands, you should use burlap."

It seems that the test has passed. As long as the Punika craftsmen make the coating thinner as President Foxtail said, the deal will be fine.

After the old president Huwei told Craftsman Punika to make thin films according to his wishes, every fifty pieces of wrapping film would be sent directly to the Foxtail Chamber of Commerce. Every fifty pieces of wrapping film received, the chamber of commerce would give it to the foundation. I'll settle the money.

As for the price of the wraps, President Foxtail’s price is twelve copper coins per wrap, and fifty wraps is six silver coins.

Zhao Ji considered that the Chamber of Commerce needed at least five hundred envelopes, which would be sixty silver coins and six gold coins.

Made a fortune.

Zhao Ji immediately agreed. He had nothing to disagree with. The slime monsters in the swamp south of the city were not unlimited. Once the hunting was over, the money would no longer be earned. What he could make now was a sum.

When he has money, he will hunt other monsters. I heard people say before that the village of Doral Forest, which has vast fields in the east of Kendall County and is east of Kendall City, is harassed by goblins from time to time. Village, he could try to visit there later.

After President Foxtail left, Zhao Ji discussed the processing fee with Craftsman Punika. Craftsman Punika said that he would charge five copper coins for each slime monster. Zhao Ji could allow this, so he immediately said that he could only Three copper coins each.

The Punika craftsman did not accept this price. The two of them argued for a long time before settling on a price that both of them could accept. The price was four coppers and three irons for each slime monster. In addition, there were some other small items. The conditions are all convenient for Zhao Ji to hunt slime monsters.

Zhao Ji cursed and went to the blacksmith shop, taking an apprentice from the leather shop with him. This apprentice would represent the Punika craftsmen and give Zhao Ji a discount when he went to the blacksmith shop to buy a weapon.

The Punika craftsmen also felt that they needed to change the shape of the wrapping, and they didn't have a lot of money, so they scolded the apprentices to boil yesterday's wrapping again and try to make it as thin as possible this time.

——

In fact, Zhao Ji was quite satisfied. Of course, he had to be a little more polite. After all, he has a tender face, and it would not work if he suffered a loss just because others thought he was young.

The apprentice next to him heard Zhao Ji not reacting at all to his master's cursing. It seemed that the Punika craftsman was not a popular guy.

The blacksmith shop is not far from the tannery shop, and the sound of hammering can be heard far away, so the blacksmith shop is not located beside the road, but in the middle of the craftsman area.

The blacksmith shop is the largest workshop in the craftsman area. It integrates warehouses, crushing ore, coal burning, metal smelting, forging and other small workshops. It is the most important place in the entire lower town of Kendall.

Zhao Ji had worked as a part-time worker here before, so he was very familiar with it. He greeted various apprentices along the way. He came to the forging workshop that specializes in making weapons. There was also a small workshop that made metal armor next to it, because there were not many in the city.

For metal armor, there is only one craftsman and one apprentice all year round. In the weapons workshop, there are three craftsmen and eleven or twelve apprentices who are busy.

Zhao Ji also worked part-time in the weapons workshop, so he probably knew the situation here. He was responsible for forging new weapons and maintaining the weapons of the guards. He also had to deal with the weapon maintenance of a small knights group in the north, and some scattered things.

Living, therefore, very busy all day long.

Zhao Ji first went next door to tell the idle craftsman about his shield, but the craftsman said that his apprentice could do that little thing. Zhao Ji shrugged and explained it to the metal armor apprentice.

His plan to transform the shield.

After listening to his instructions on how to modify the shield, the thin apprentice said that it was very simple and could be done in an hour. The charge of 50 coppers was that if the materials could be obtained, it would be cheaper just to process it.

Zhao Ji didn't have special materials, so he could only say that he would bring them before noon.

After deciding on the modification of the shield, Zhao Ji came to the weapons workshop. The apprentice of the leather shop had already explained to a craftsman here that the Punica craftsman had promised to give Kil a discount. After he finished speaking, this man left.

The craftsman nodded and stopped what he was doing, looked at Zhao Ji, and told Zhao Ji to just take whatever he wanted. If there is nothing suitable, he can tell them and their workshop will make it.

In fact, Zhao Ji doesn't want anything. He doesn't have much money now, and he still needs to hunt slime monsters. For the time being, he only needs a spear head.

So Zhao Ji chose an iron spear head hanging on the wall. This iron spear head suited Zhao Ji very much. There were two small hooks in opposite directions at the end of the spear head, which could just be used to catch monsters or

enemy.

Seeing that Zhao Ji had chosen a long spear head, the craftsman took it off the wall and asked Zhao Ji where the barrel of the spear was. He could then sharpen the spear head and put it on the barrel.

Zhao Ji slapped his head and forgot that all the things were stored in the chamber of commerce. He thought he could just buy the things in the weapons workshop and be done with it. Unexpectedly, he still had to sharpen the blade and assemble the gun barrel.

Zhao Ji quickly apologized and asked the craftsman to wait for him for a while while he went back to get the things.

Zhao Ji said goodbye to the weapons workshop and ran quickly, returned to the chamber of commerce, picked up a shield and a long wooden stick, and ran out again.

Breathing heavily, he handed the long wooden stick to the weapon craftsman. Zhao Ji paid the money directly. Because he only needed to buy an iron gun head, Zhao Ji bought this thing for only one silver coin.

.If it is a steel spear head, it will cost several silver coins.

Seeing the craftsman starting to sharpen the iron spear head, Zhao Ji came to the next door workshop and handed the shield to the apprentice who was waiting for him. Sure enough, after seeing that Zhao Ji's shield was a pot lid, the master and apprentice laughed so loudly

.

However, the wood material of this old pot lid seemed to be okay, and the armor apprentice did not say that it could not be modified. He took out two shield grips, an ordinary piece of leather and a few rivets, and began to modify it by banging it.
