Chapter 23 Getting to Know the Old Blacksmith
Bai Jiyue went to the blacksmith shop and asked the blacksmith: "What is the best weapon in your shop? Take it out and let me see it."
The blacksmith knew her and said, "Girl, you just bought two daggers a few days ago. They're not enough. Why are you here to buy more?"
"It's not that there are not enough, it's that they are not easy to use. I want something good."
The blacksmith looked her up and down and said, "You want something useful? That's very valuable!"
Bai Jiyue took out the copper dark stone from his arms and asked, "Is this enough to buy?"
Copper Dark Stone is extremely rare in the Dark Stone Wasteland. One Copper Dark Stone is equivalent to one hundred Wooden Dark Stones, which is equivalent to the amount of stone delivered by their family in two months.
The blacksmith's eyes lit up immediately: "Wow! I didn't expect that the girl had such a good thing? Come on, come to the back, you can take a look and choose whatever you want!"
He took Bai Jiyue into the inner room, where there were many weapons that all looked very good.
But Bai Jiyue had seen the deadly sword before, and after looking at them, he felt that nothing he saw suited his taste, so he said goodbye and left.
The blacksmith was dissatisfied: "I have so many good weapons, but you don't like them. What kind do you want? The territory of the Artisan Clan has many good things. If you want good ones, go to the Artisan Clan. Can you go there?"
Bai Jiyue ignored him and planned to go back to the town to look for it again, preferring to have nothing rather than something less than perfect.
When she left the blacksmith shop, she saw a ragged old man walking in and said, "Boss, just hire me. I only need three meals a day, and I don't want any wages."
The blacksmith was angry and poured the molten iron from the trough on the old man: "Get lost! I can't even afford to eat, how can I afford to hire you to work!"
The old man was old and frail, and his movements were not agile, so it was obvious that he could not avoid it.
Bai Jiyue reached out and pulled him, and the molten iron fell to the ground just beside him.
The old man thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you, girl, thank you, girl!"
Bai Jiyue waved his hand: "You're welcome."
She asked the old man, "Are you here looking for work?"
"Yes, I can do nothing but blacksmithing, but every shop thinks I am too old and weak and are unwilling to hire me."
Bai Jiyue thought for a moment, took out the dagger from his arms and said to the old man, "My dagger is too blunt. Can you help me sharpen it? I'll pay you. How about that?"
The old man was overjoyed: "No problem, no problem."
They went to the stream outside the village, found a big rock, and the old man began to sharpen the knife seriously.
The old man worked slowly, but very seriously and methodically.
Bai Jiyue looked at him and thought he really could be a blacksmith.
After waiting for a long time, he handed the dagger to Bai Jiyue and smiled with yellow teeth: "Girl, okay, you try it."
Bai Jiyue raised the dagger and casually chopped at the branch next to him. "Crack!" The branch broke with a sound, and the dagger was more than twice as sharp as before!
Seeing Bai Jiyue's surprise, the old man said, "In fact, the quality of a weapon depends not only on the material, but also on the forging method."
"You seem to know a lot?" Bai Jiyue narrowed his eyes and looked at him.
The old man showed a proud look: "I used to be a famous blacksmith in the area, but I have no children. After my wife passed away, my nephew took away all my wealth and drove me out. That's why I ended up here."
Bai Jiyue pondered for a moment, took out a bunch of copper coins from his pocket and handed them to him: "I can help you."
The old man's eyes lit up: "Girl, you——"
"Consider it my investment, I'm going to open a small blacksmith shop for you. Whether you can keep it going depends on your ability. If you lose money, I'll just treat it as a waste of money, but I will definitely ignore you when I see you next time. But if you make money, you can give me some of it."
She thought about it and realized that while personal improvement was important, family wealth was also important, and she could do both.
Since this old man has forging skills, I will invest in him to open a blacksmith shop. First, it will give him a place to settle down. Second, it will be an investment for me. Third, if I want to make weapons in the future, I will have acquaintances, right?
The old man was overjoyed: "Can the girl trust me?"
"I see that your knife sharpening skills are pretty good, so I'll trust you for now." Bai Jiyue said.
She is a spy in modern times and is very good at judging people. Seeing the way this old man was sharpening his knife and his attitude towards work, I feel that he should be reliable.
"Okay, okay, thank you for trusting me, young lady!" The old man took the money with a smile.
Bai Jiyue helped the old man build a shed between the two villages to serve as a blacksmith shop, and let him buy the blacksmithing tools himself.
When she was waiting to go back, it was already late and the whole family was waiting for her to have dinner.
While eating, Bai Jiyue told his family about what happened to the old man today.
Bai Jiri asked her to take out the dagger that the old man had sharpened and looked at it. He said seriously, "This old man has good skills. At least he is an old blacksmith."
"I think so too, so let's trust him for now. If he really has strong skills, it will be easier for us to make weapons in the future."
In addition to wanting good weapons, she also wanted to make some modern weapons later on. She even thought that if she could find sulfur or something, she could make guns.
Two days later, she went to see the old man, and he told her with a smile that he had taken a business and made a dagger. The customer was very satisfied and gave him ten copper coins.
He took out five copper coins and gave them to Bai Jiyue: "This is for you. In the future, as long as I can make money, I will give you half."
Bai Jiyue smiled and pushed it back: "Forget it, you should keep it for yourself, and when you make more money in the future, you can share it with me."
She chatted with the old man and found out that his name was Chu Jiang and he was already sixty years old this year.
Before leaving, Bai Jiyue left him some sweet potatoes. Chu Jiang pulled her aside and took out a set of bows and arrows from the shop: "I made this when I had nothing to do. I'm giving it to you."
Bai Jiyue looked at the bow and arrow. The bow was slightly smaller than a normal bow and was black in color. It looked ordinary, and there was nothing special about the arrow either.
She took it with a smile and thanked him. Chu Jiang said with a smile: "I heard you mention that your elder brother can shoot arrows, so I made this bow and arrow. Please don't despise it."
"How could that be? You have a good intention." Bai Jiyue replied.
She took the bow and arrow back. Bai Jiri sat on the stool, bent the bow and arrow, and shot an arrow with a "whoosh". The arrow actually penetrated the bricks on the courtyard wall!
Everyone was shocked.
Bai Jiri stroked the bow and couldn't let it go: "It looks ordinary, but it's a good bow!"
Bai Jiyun clapped his hands: "I didn't expect that grandpa has such good skills!"
Bai Jiyue also felt that he had met a god.
The next day, Bai Ji Ri asked Bai Ji Yue to push him to find Chu Jiang. He stayed in Chu Jiang's house for half a day.
Bai Jiyue knew that his brother liked to study weapons, so he didn't stop him and sent him there every day.
When she had nothing to do, she would take her sister to hunt spirit beasts.
First, find a low-level spirit beast nearby and let your sister practice slowly. After less than a few days, Bai Jiyun has mastered the art and reached the first lower level of cultivation.
That day, Bai Jiyue came back from practicing with her sister, and Yan Niang said anxiously, "Jiyue, Mingyuan went out to play and hasn't come back. I've been looking for him for a long time, but I can't find him anywhere in the village!"
