The Nine Cauldrons Chapter 20: Twenty-sixth lunar month
"Qingshan, come back!" The door of Teng Jia Village opened, and the guards greeted them warmly.
Teng Qingshan with two pheasants in his hand also laughed and said, "Well, come back, Uncle Fang, today we really got some prey. You can have wine and dinner at night." The main purpose of entering the mountain this time. It's fetching water. Of course, some of the prey hunted by the way. The family in the village can almost get a pound of meat.
"Huh?" Teng Qingshan frowned as soon as he entered the training ground.
Various rut marks can still be seen on the ground. This martial arts ground has been stepped on all year round. It is very hard. It can press the martial arts ground out of the rut marks. The weight of the car can be imagined. Teng Qingshan turned his head and asked a teenager next to him, "Three son, who is in the village today?"
The young man said, "Brother Qingshan, just now, there was a team of nearly a hundred people, escorting a large truck or two horses. Now those people are all going to the weapons shop."
When you hear it, Teng Qingshan guesses. I'm afraid that team is the team that escorted and made 182 handles of bihan knife ore material.
"Brother, brother!" A crisp voice sounded.
Teng Qingshan turned around, it was his mother and sister Qingyu. Now Qingyu is running very happily. He ran directly, hugged Teng Qingshan, and then stared at the pheasant in Teng Qingshan: "Brother, today Some chicken has been eaten. Two of them! "
"Mother, you take this pheasant back, I'll go to my father to see." Teng Qingshan handed the two pheasants to the mother Yuan Lan.
"Okay, your dad will be bitter in the coming days. He will have to eat more to supplement his body." Yuan Lan took over these two pheasants.
The distribution of food in the clan 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 clan, and the son Teng Qingshan is now the first master in the clan, the hunter's chief.
Naturally, there will be more food distributed. After the two pheasants are distributed, Teng Qingshan is ready to take home.
"Brother, I will play with you too." Qingyu held Teng Qingshan's hand.
The mother next to Yuan Lan laughed: "Qingshan, you take your sister to your father's play, but, after a while, you come back for lunch together." Teng Qingshan should say, holding his sister's little hand, and Teng Qinghu and Teng Qinghao next to the father's weapons shop.
"Brother Qinghu, Qinghao." Teng Qingshan was on the way, and when I saw a car at the door of the weapon shop, there were a lot of people, and he said, "You go directly around the road and go through the back door of the weapon shop. Just send the water tank in. "
"Understand." Although it is okay for outsiders to see the water tank, Teng Qinghu and Teng Qinghao still know it and try to keep it as secret as possible.
******
The weapon shop is very lively at this time. Many apprentices in the weapon shop are carrying various materials. At the corner of the weapon shop's large courtyard, four people are sitting. They are Teng Yongfan, Teng Yunlong and Two other strangers. One was tall and mighty, and looked mighty. The other was holding a big belly and was very fat. The fat man was wearing a yellow fox fur, and his gold fingers on his thumbs were shining.
"Qingshan, you are here." Teng Yunlong sitting in the middle of the weapon shop courtyard greeted with a smile.
Qingyu shouted, "Father, grandfather." At the same time, he ran towards that.
"Yongfan, this is your daughter? It's so cute." The fat man said cheerfully.
Teng Yongfan smiled and nodded, while reaching out, holding Qingyu on his leg. And the fat man then continued: "Old patriarch Teng, Yong Fan, we haven't been in business for a year or two, and you should also know that the price I give you is definitely not high. 132,000 silver! I Have all the fractions removed. "
"Li Er." Teng Yunlong smiled, "We are all old friends, I never lied to Teng Yunlong, not to mention, you should also understand. Can those who can give us such a big business, ordinary people? I personally ran to my Teng Jia Village, definitely to drive down the price. We Teng Jia Village, there is no way, we can only take it down. Your price is slightly lower, so that we can make a little money. "
The fat man thought for a moment.
"Okay." The big fat man's right hand wearing a gold finger slaps the table, and said boldly, "For the sake of our friends for so many years, I also understand your pain and don't talk nonsense, 12,000 Five hundred and two silver. This is the lowest, a copper coin is not enough. "
Teng Yunlong and Teng Yongfan look at each other.
"OK." Teng Yunlong nodded.
"I get silver!" said, Teng Yunlong smiled, nodded to the Teng Yongfan next to him, Teng Yongfan got up to pick up silver.
Teng Qingshan glanced at the strong man sitting next to the fat man: "This man, with his eyes full of energy and strong muscles, is a good master. But compared to the cavalry team chief who came yesterday, It's a long way off. "Just then, Teng Yongfan came over holding a box in his own hands.
The "Puff!" box fell to the ground.
"Li Er, there are 4,500 silver in it! In my case, it is 8000 silver notes!" Then, Teng Yunlong handed out silver notes.
"silver notes?" The fat man named Li Er changed his face slightly, frowned, glanced at silver notes, and saw the big seal "Yang's Salt" on silver notes. These eight thousand two silver notes, I go to Yangzhou Bank to get silver, but I have to pay eighty-two fees. "
One hundred and one, this is the proportion of fees charged by Yangzhou Bank.
Teng Yunlong smiled bitterly: "Li Er, why do we generally have silver notes in Teng Jia Village? Not the person who ordered it, they only gave these eighty two silver notes. I am also worried that the other party will not pay the final payment." , Who is our little Zhuangzi, so bullying. Li Er, you can 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 save silver into the bank, just forget it. Well, is it clear?"
"It's four thousand five hundred and two." The brave man who opened the box and counted silver nodded.
"That's good!" Li Er's fat man glanced at Teng Yunlong. "Old Patriarch Teng, Brother Yongfan, let's consider this business. I'll take a step."
Teng Yunlong got up immediately to send this group of people.
These people left, and the weapon shop was quiet immediately. Teng Qingshan looked at his father Teng Yongfan: "Father, this business is very bad?"
"If the last paragraph can be obtained, it is not a loss." Teng Yongfan said, "One hundred and eighty-two handles of Bihan, worth 18,222 silver, we cost, just a variety of materials, buy now It costs 125,000 silver, plus some other special materials in the village, and the cost is nearly 22,000 silver. Plus Jade Frost Pool's deep water! There are also labor costs. "
Teng Qingshan nodded.
The cost of materials alone, as far as 14,542 silver and Jade Frost Pool deep water are not valuable to Teng Jia Village, but for those who do n’t know where Jade Frost Pool is, they are priceless treasures. There are also Teng Yongfan, Teng Yunlong will continue to work hard for more than a month.
This business can only be regarded as a small profit after getting the final payment.
"Those salt merchants, don't look at their wealth, but they are very discouraged when they start a business. Otherwise, why would they come to us to order?" Teng Yongfan chuckled.
"Will you get the last paragraph?" Teng Qingshan frowned.
Teng Yongfan thinks a little, shakes his head and says: "Although I am a little worried, but ... it shouldn't. First, the other party is Yangzhou Salt Merchants, the status is different, it is estimated that we can't rely on our silver. Second, with the force of the other party, the fundamental You don't need to play tricks with us, you can directly threaten us to make weapons, and kill without making them. Isn't this more simple? "
Teng Qingshan nodded.
Father is not unreasonable, but the other party has an absolute advantage. Teng Jia Village is still worried that the other party will play tricks.
"Qingshan, from today until the Bihan sword is fully made, every night, I will stay in this weapon shop. At home, you help your mother, Qingyu is not sensible, your mother To do things, and to bring Qingyu, very tired. "Teng Yongfan asked.
Teng Qingshan nodded.
After all, my sister Qingyu is only a six-year-old child, and it is not like having previous life memory. It ’s normal to be naughty and ignorant.
******
The next day, my father Teng Yongfan and the patriarch Teng Yunlong, lived almost completely in the weapon shop. Sometimes I was busy and had no time to go home for dinner. Only let people in the family deliver meals.
...
In a blink of an eye, there are only five days left before the annual festival.
"Qingshan, the patriarch asked you to go to the weapon shop." As soon as the Teng Qingshan led the hunting team back, the tribe immediately informed the news.
"I see." Teng Qingshan handed the prey in his hand to Teng Qinghu, "Qinghu, you can share this prey." Then, Teng Qingshan held Damascus Steel Spear and ran towards the weapon shop. In the middle of the journey, Lao Yuan heard the banging iron knocking over the weapon shop.
Step into the weapon shop.
"Qingshan is here." Many apprentice clan smiled and greeted.
Teng Qingshan noticed that his father Teng Yongfan was bare-chested and wielding the hammer at this moment.
"Qingshan, come here." Sitting in the courtyard, his body was just wearing a robe, and sweaty Teng Yunlong was breathing, seeing Teng Qingshan coming, he laughed at himself, "I'm still old, this is half At that hour, I was too tired. I still have to rely on your father. "
Teng Qingshan sits down with a smile: "Grandpa, the young guys in the clan don't have enough arm strength to make a Bihan sword, you're great."
This said Teng Yunlong laughed: "You, you will say nice, right, Qingshan, I am looking for you today, I want to tell you! The 182 handles of Bihan, it is estimated that by the middle of the night today, it will be all Build success. Tomorrow is the 26th of the 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 handles of Bihan knives into the city. At that time, your father will accompany you Go together. "
