"Qingshan, come back!" The door of Tengjiazhuang opened, and the guards greeted them enthusiastically.

Teng Qingshan, carrying two pheasants in his hand, also smiled and said: "Well, back, Uncle, we really got some prey today, you can have some wine at night." The main purpose of entering the mountain this time is to fetch water Of course, on the way here and there, I saw some prey and hunted down. The family in the village can almost get a pound of meat.

"Huh?" As soon as he entered the martial arts field, Teng Qingshan frowned.

The rut marks on the ground can still be seen faintly. This martial arts field is stepped on all year round. It is very hard and can push the martial arts field out of the rut marks. The weight of the car can be imagined. Teng Qingshan turned around and asked a young man next to him, "Sanzi, who is here in Zhuang today?"

The boy said: "Brother Qingshan, just now, there was a team of nearly 100 people, escorting a large horse or two horse-drawn trucks. Now those people have gone to the weapon shop."

Upon hearing it, Teng Qingshan guessed. I am afraid that the team is the team that escorted and refined 182 Bihan sword ore materials.

"Brother, brother!" A clear voice sounded.

Teng Qingshan turned his head and saw that it was his mother and sister Qingyu. Now that Qingyu was running happily, she ran directly, hugged Teng Qingshan, and then stared at the pheasant in Teng Qingshan's hands with wide eyes: "Brother , I have some chicken today. Two of them! "

"Mother, you take this pheasant back, I'll go and see Daddy." Teng Qingshan handed the two pheasants to his mother Yuan Lan.

"Okay, your father will be very bitter in the next days, and he will have to eat more to make up for his body." Yuan Lan took the two pheasants.

The distribution of food in the tribe is based on the contribution of each family. Of course, even the least contributed, there will be a minimum amount of meat. And like the Teng Qingshan family, Teng Yongfan is the first blacksmith in the family, and his son Teng Qingshan is now the first master in the family and the leader of the hunter team.

Naturally, there will be more food to be distributed. After the two pheasants are distributed, Teng Qingshan is ready to take it home directly.

"Brother, I will play with you too." Qing Yu held Teng Qingshan's hand.

The next mother, Yuan Lan, smiled and said: "Qingshan, you will take your sister to play with your dad, but wait a while, you will come back for lunch together." Teng Qingshan should be heard, and then took the sister's little hand Teng Qinghu and Teng Qinghao walked towards his father's weapon shop together.

"Brother Qinghu, Brother Qinghao." Teng Qingshan was walking on the way. When he saw a car at the door of the weapon shop and a large number of people, he said, "You detour directly, enter from the rear door of the weapon shop, and put the water tank Just send it in. "

"Understood." Although it is okay for outsiders to see the water tank, Teng Qinghu and Teng Qinghao still know that it is better to keep it as confidential as possible.

The weapon shop was very lively at this time. Many apprentices of the weapon shop were carrying various materials, and beside the wooden table in the corner of the large courtyard of the weapon shop, four people were sitting, Teng Yongfan, Teng Yunlong and the other two. Strangers. One person is tall and strong, seemingly mighty. The other is shy with a big belly, and he is very fat. This fat man is still wearing yellow fox fur, and the golden finger on his thumb is shiny.

"Qingshan, you are here." Teng Yunlong sitting in the middle of the weapon shop courtyard greeted with a smile.

Qing Yu shouted crisply: "Dad, Grandpa." At the same time, he ran towards that.

"Yongfan, is this your daughter? Really cute." The big fat man said happily.

Teng Yongfan nodded with a smile, and at the same time reached out his hand and hugged Qingyu on his lap. And the big fat man went on to say: "Patriarch Teng, Yong Fan, we have not been in business for a year or two, and you should also know that the price I give you is definitely not high. Thirteen thousand two hundred silver! I All odds and ends are removed. "

"Li Er." Teng Yunlong said with a smile, "We are all old friends, I never lie, let alone, you should understand. Can you give us such a big business, can it be ordinary people? Those people? I personally ran to Tengjiazhuang for sure to drive down the price. We at Tengjiazhuang have no choice but to take it. Your price is slightly lowered, which makes us a bit profitable. "

The big fat man thought for a moment.

"Okay." The fat man's right hand wearing a gold finger flicked the table and said boldly, "For the sake of our friends for so many years, I also understand your sufferings, and I don't talk nonsense, 12,500. Silver. This is the lowest, not even a copper coin. "

Teng Yunlong and Teng Yongfan glanced at each other.

"OK." Teng Yunlong nodded.

"I let people take the money!" Said Teng Yunlong with a smile, and nodded with Teng Yongfan next to him. Teng Yongfan got up and fetched the money himself.

Teng Qingshan glanced at the brawny man sitting next to the big fat man: "This man, with his binocular eyes and strong muscles, is a good master. But compared with the leader of the cavalry team that came yesterday "At this moment, Teng Yongfan came with a suitcase in his hand.

"Peng!" The box fell to the ground.

"Li Er, there are four thousand five hundred and two silvers! My name is eight thousand two silvers!" Said Teng Yunlong, who handed out the silvers.

"Silver ticket?" The fat man named Li Er's face slightly changed, his brow furrowed, glanced at the silver ticket, and he saw the big seal of the word "Yang Yan" on the silver ticket. , These eight thousand two silver tickets, I went to Yangzhou Qianzhuang to get the money, but I have to pay an eighty two fee. "

One hundred and one mention, this is the proportion of fees charged by Yangzhou Qianzhuang.

Teng Yunlong smiled bitterly: "Li Er, how can we Tengjiazhuang generally get a silver ticket? It is not the person who ordered it. People only gave these 8 thousand two silver tickets. . Alas, who called us Xiaozhuangzi, so bully. Li Er, you have to take care of it. "

The fat man Li Er stood up and sighed: "Forget it, I don't care. We do business, and we have to deposit money into the bank, just forget it. Um, are you clear?"

"It's four thousand five hundred and two." The strong man who opened the box and counted the silver nodded.

"That's good!" Li Er fat man glanced at Teng Yunlong. "Ten old patriarch, brother Yongfan, then our business will be considered. I will take a step first."

Teng Yunlong immediately got up and went to send this group of people.

When the group of people left, the weapon shop immediately became quieter. Teng Qingshan looked at his father Teng Yongfan: "Father, is this business a loss?"

"If that money is available, it will not be a loss." Teng Yongfan said, "One hundred and eighty-two bihan knives, worth 18,200 silver, our cost, all kinds of materials, now the purchase cost Twelve thousand two hundred and fifty two silver, plus some other special materials in the village, the cost is also nearly two thousand two silver. Plus the pool water of Bihantan! There are also human costs. "

Teng Qingshan nodded.

The cost of materials alone is 14,500 silver, and the water in Bihantan is not valuable to Tengjiazhuang, but for those who do not know where Bihantan is, it is an invaluable treasure. Teng Yongfan and Teng Yunlong will continue to work hard for more than a month.

This business can only be regarded as a small profit by getting the final payment.

"Those salt merchants, don't look at their wealth, but they are stingy and stingy when they start a business. Otherwise, why would they come to us to place orders in person?" Teng Yongfan sneered.

"Will you not get the final payment?" Teng Qingshan frowned.

Teng Yongfan thought a little and shook his head: "Although I am also a little worried, but ... it should not be. One is that the other party is a salt merchant in Yangzhou, with a different status, and it is estimated that they can't rely on our money. We need to play tricks with us, directly intimidating us to refine weapons, and kill without refining. Isn't this even simpler? "

Teng Qingshan nodded.

What his father said was not unreasonable, only that the other party had an absolute advantage. Teng Jiazhuang still worried about the other party's scorn.

"Qingshan, from today until the Bihan sword is all made, every night, I will stay in this weapon shop. For the family, you help your mother, Qingyu is not sensible, and your mother will do it again. Things, you have to bring Qing Yu, very tired. "Teng Yongfan asked.

Teng Qingshan nodded.

After all, younger sister Qingyu is only a six-year-old child, and she is not as naughty as she has a memory of past life.

******

In the following days, father Teng Yongfan and patriarch Teng Yunlong lived almost entirely in the weapon shop. Sometimes they were busy and had no time to go home for dinner. Can only let people in the family deliver meals.

...

In a blink of an eye, there were only five days left for the annual festival.

"Qingshan, the patriarch asked you to go to the weapon shop." As soon as the hunting team led by Teng Qingshan returned, the tribe immediately informed the news.

"Got it." Teng Qingshan handed his prey to Teng Qinghu. "Green Tiger, please go and share this prey." Then, Teng Qingshan ran towards the weapon shop with the iron gun. In the middle of the journey, Lao Yuan heard the sound of "ding ding bang" over the weapon shop.

Step into the weapon shop.

"Qingshan is here." Many apprentices greeted with a smile.

Teng Qingshan noticed that at this moment his father Teng Yongfan was naked and waving an iron hammer.

"Qingshan, you come." Sitting in the courtyard, only wearing a robe, Teng Yunlong with his face covered with sweat was gasping. When Teng Qingshan came, he laughed at himself, "I'm still old, this is only half At that time, I was too tired. I still have to rely on your father. "

Teng Qingshan sat down with a smile: "Grandpa, the average young guy in the family, is not strong enough to build a bihan sword, you are very powerful."

This said Teng Yunlong laughed: "You, you will say nice, yes, Qingshan, I am looking for you today, I want to tell you! These 182 bihan swords, it is estimated that all of them will be successfully built late at night today Tomorrow is the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month. It is a good day to travel! Your hunter team will pretend to go to the city to sell beast fur and send 182 bihan swords into the city. Then your father will accompany you . "
