Chapter 188 The hospitable Huairen County

What the soap class said is no different from the people coming to the fast class. It is nothing more than to clear yourself and bring closer together. You can see the attitude you want to express from the severity of the gift you give.

The gifts I sent were quite large, but they were not expensive. They were nothing more than daily items, but they were like walking around with relatives.

After these two groups of people who came to the door left, the front of the door was much cleaner. Whether in front or behind, there was a leisurely man looking away from afar, but he didn't even dare to enter the streets within the yard. He just took a few glances and if the servants saw it, he nodded and retreated.

Even more dawn, there were still servants looking around, but they didn't dare to get close. They took a few glances and left, which made the servants nervous, and not nervous.

"Four servants are equipped with a big cart and a handlebar. Go out to the street to buy food and vegetables. Wang Jing, you can change your clothes and follow you. If there is anything wrong, come back to report the news." Zhu Da did not intend to be trapped in this yard, so he quickly made arrangements.

In addition to bringing silver and utensils to buy vegetables and grain, this cart also houses more than a dozen guns, and the swords and guns of the servants are also placed on it.

"You have no martial arts skills and no ability to fight in battle. You have just shot a few people, seen life and death and blood, know how to craft, be brave, don't think you are great. If the enemy comes up, first throw a short spear and then retreat, it's not embarrassing." Before leaving, Zhu Da reminded him a few words, and he spoke loudly, not only to those who went out, but also to others.

After returning from Zheng Family Ji, he rushed into the city all the way and never gave in. The confidence of the servants has become a bit arrogant. In fact, they have not participated in too many battles. As for the bloody battles, there are not many people who have experienced martial arts. This is a pure appearance. If you can't recognize it clearly, you will easily suffer a big loss when Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun are not there.

When they heard Zhu Da's words, the servants looked disappointed and dissatisfied on their faces. They must have felt disappointed, but if they think so, the danger is still a little smaller.

I moved the threshold and let the cart go out. As I thought I could hear noises before I could turn out of the yard wall, everyone in the yard was a little nervous.

"What are you doing when you are blocking the road? These two wheelbarrows are stuck here, who can get over!"

"Don't be angry, brothers, the small account is also in a hurry to deliver the goods. Mr. Zhu has given enough money. The small account has not been delivered yet. This is a signboard. Yesterday, the small account was busy for a day and a night, and then it was done. I was rushing to deliver it, so I'd be more tolerant."

After hearing this conversation, everyone felt much more relieved. Zhu Da smiled and shook his head. He could already guess who it was. After a while, the two wheelbarrows had arrived at the door. The car was filled with processed short spears. The man who led the team also looked full of smiles, but it was the blacksmith surnamed Zhang from yesterday.

As soon as the blacksmith Zhang entered the door, he saw Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun. He quickly bowed with fists and said apologetically: "The small trumpet was busy and rushed out 40% of the goods. I was afraid that Master Zhu would use it in a hurry, so I sent a batch first."

Zhu Da couldn't help but joke: "All things should be done, you sent a batch. Do you think we still have something to do?"

After saying this, the blacksmith's face turned pale. He didn't know how to answer for a while. Zhu Da smiled and said, "Just remove the goods. Can you also build Park Knife and Spear?"

"Yes, yes, the small trumpet delays Mr. Zhu's affairs. My dad, no, our shopkeeper means returning the money to Mr. Zhu first, and then placing wine to apologize in the future. Mr. Zhu, look..." Zhang Blacksmith said as he spoke, he took out several ingots of silver from yesterday from his pocket.

Zhu Da waved his hand and stopped his smile and said, "It is natural to buy goods and pay money. You have not delayed anything. Don't be so careful. There are still many things to do to you in the future. If you don't give money this time, will it be better not to accept it in the future?"

Blacksmith Zhang kept staring at Zhu Da quite rudely, not to look at the young master's appearance, but to judge whether he said something was true or false, and to see if he could make a conclusion from his expression. Zhu Da was not deliberate at all, and was very natural and sincere.

When things came to this point, I'm afraid that giving out the money would cause trouble. Zhang Blacksmith put the money back in his pocket in awkwardly and directed the guys to remove the spears from the car.

"What do you call this master?" Zhu Da asked casually.

After he asked this, Zhou Qingyun and Li He took a puzzled look, but they didn't say anything. Zhu Da always attaches great importance to craftsmen and craftsmen, and likes to shout "master". If he hadn't called that, Hebian Xincun and Baibao Village would not have such an explanation at all, but Zhu Da was able to make the decision, so everyone would have called it that way.

The blacksmith Zhang didn't expect that Zhu Da was calling him. He was stunned for a moment and realized the name. He waved his hand and said, "How can Mr. Zhu kill the young man? How can he afford it? The sledgehammer who calls the young man is Zhang Dahui."

"Is this a nickname?"

"It's not a nickname, my father's name is this..." Zhang Dachui replied with a smile. I think Zhu Da didn't ask this question alone.

Zhu Da nodded with a smile, but did not change his words, and said again: "Master Zhang, I have to buy thirty spears. The spear rod is thirteen feet long, which is a large ruler. The spear blade is one and a half feet long. It must have an iron sleeve or iron bar to protect the spear rod. It must be made of good iron materials and good poles. It cannot be made by a spear. Can it be made?"

Zhu Da called him Master Zhang, Zhang's waist unconsciously straightened, and his expression was a little serious. After listening, he subconsciously said: "This is too troublesome...it can be built." The second half of the sentence was finally fulfilled.

"Make it with your heart, and when it is done, I will add a few taels of hard money according to your public price." Zhu Da said with a smile.

There is profit in the public price itself. If you add a few taels, the business will make more money and the account can be easily calculated. Zhang Dachui's face is gone, and it has become a kind of flattery in business. Anyone who is willing to give money and more money likes it.

"Please rest assured Mr. Zhu. If you have any construction then, please check it out. If the master wants anything, even if you come to find a small quotation, the Zhang family blacksmith shop has been working in it for almost sixty years. All the county towns around you know about this craft."

Zhang Dahui left happily here, and Zhu Da also had a smile on his face. Li He called someone to send the short spear to various parts of the house, so that the servants on duty could catch the short spear at any time, and Curry also stored a batch.

"Do you know why I'm so polite to the blacksmith?" Zhu Da asked suddenly.

Li He, who was arranging, was stunned for a moment and turned around and said, "Brother, you want to convince people's hearts, or you want this blacksmith shop to do our best for us in the future."

"You are right, but there is another point. This blacksmith shop is a place where craftsmen in the city are gathered. It is confirmed that you can use all the craftsmen in the city. This is a big deal for us," Zhu Da replied.

Li He nodded, but from his expression, he could tell that he was actually still ignorant. He didn't know what the meaning of making friends with craftsmen was, so Zhu Da did not continue to explain.

The reason why this blacksmith shop gathers craftsmanship in the whole city was not figured out by Zhu Da himself, but by Yuan Biao’s teachings. The old man said it was very simple at the time. He didn’t know where to find anything to repair it, so he went to the local blacksmith shop and could find anything.

Because ironworking is profitable and is a must for all parties, ironworking requires the supporting facilities provided by various craftsmen, such as making handles and scabbards for weapons. However, Zhu Da’s views on craftsmanship are different, which is not worthy of being used to outsiders.

"Brother, will we stay in this city for a long time in the future?" Li He, who had arranged the arrangement, turned around again, but raised this question.

"If you want to stay for a long time, it is not safe outside the city now. It is a coincidence that the Tartars rushed in, but there are many strong men and so on. Zheng's family was destroyed, and there was no place outside that could be covered. If you want to have a safe life, you can only stay in the city."

"Then we need to do some business, and buying low and selling high is not enough. What we have to do next, we can't stand it like this." Li He looked at Zhu Da and said, finding that Zhu Da did not respond, and quickly added: "Now that there is a lot of money in hand, and now these people can maintain it. Otherwise, they can buy some land outside the city, so that it can last long."

Zhu Da did not answer for a moment, and was silent for a moment before saying, "There is no hurry to get the fields first. Zhengjiaji, Hebianxin Village and Baibao Village are all ours."

This was a bit unanswered, but Li He could not continue to speak if he felt that Zhu Da was in a bad mood.

Not long after, the team sent out to buy came back. No one was in trouble. Everything went smoothly. There were a large truck of grain and non-staple food. The house is now a little crowded. Although under the dispatch of Li He, the materials are stacked very neatly, there are still too many for this house, although it can't last many days.

I just put the cart into the yard, and there were visitors outside. This time, the head of the strong class was Huang Duo, who was following me, and the gift was pushed by a wheelbarrow.

The soap class and the fast class have sent people here, but the people who come here are ordinary servants, but the strong class is just the head of the class. After asking about the handlebars, they also know that the head of the class is the main job. Although his status is higher than the ones from both sides, the value of the gift is similar and looks ordinary.

The servants' attitudes were not very good. They encountered bandits outside the city. Everyone knew that the bandits were instructed by Yang Shouwen, the deputy squad leader was such a bastard, so what could the regular one do? Maybe it was just a commander.

The Huang team leader was open-minded, but he followed his two strong squad officers and their faces were trembling, and there was no blood on his face. As soon as he entered the yard, the Huang team leader said loudly: "Is that the Zhu family's son?"

When he agreed here, Huang Bantou bowed his hand and his fists. His attitude was no different from the blacksmith just now. Before Zhu Da could greet him, he saw Chang Kai leading someone outside the door.
