In the Blade

In Yizhou City, Carpenter Li was out stalling as usual today.

Although in terms of status, he no longer has to earn money by working. After all, although they still have the identity of refugees, because Du Chengfeng raised the flag of rebellion, these initial followers all followed A rising tide lifts all boats - just like those of the Yang family, they have been practicing and reorganizing their formations all day long, as if they have completely occupied Yizhou City.

But for Carpenter Li, he is still more accustomed to doing some carpentry work.

Perhaps at the beginning, he did carpentry just to make a living, but after decades of doing it, it has become difficult for him to distinguish whether he is just doing it to make some money to supplement the family, or whether he really likes this industry - - He only knows that he can't be as idle as Old Man Yang, nor can he be as wild as Mr. Liu. He can only feel at ease when he is doing some work in his hands.

As a result, under Carpenter Li's tireless creation, a large pile of those casually cut gadgets quickly piled up.

Even if his children are still playing with toys, they obviously can't play with them so much. Under the scolding of his wife, Carpenter Li can only sell these works - it turns out that the sales are very good, Yizhou The locals showed considerable enthusiasm for Carpenter Li's works.

This is not just because of Carpenter Li’s identity, but mainly because Carpenter Li’s craftsmanship is too exquisite. Decades of careful polishing has made his crafts extremely proficient. The reason why he is not famous all over the world may be that he lacks only It’s just a platform.

Some local merchants in Yizhou even found Carpenter Li and wanted to pay a large price to buy his works, and then treat them as luxury goods and sell them to dignitaries.

But Li Carpenter still declined this extremely tempting proposal.

"They're just children's toys, really not worth that much money."

Carpenter Li sitting behind the stall looked quite honest, and his honest face showed that he had no ambition at first glance.

Perhaps for others, it is a very good thing to make a lot of money from your works, which means becoming famous all over the world, and it means gaining both fame and wealth... But after thinking about it for a long time, the kind-hearted Carpenter Li still did not want to make money in this way. . After all, he still knows how much his things are worth. If he really sells them for so much money, wouldn't that be a lie?

"Why are you lying? Isn't this a good thing?"

A passing Jianghu swordsman approached the stall with a puzzled look on his face.

"I have seen what happened just now, and I have heard what you are saying... To be fair, since they are willing to spend a lot of money to buy your things, it means that in their eyes, your things are worth the price. Transactions are always voluntary. If they are willing to spend a lot of money, what does it have to do with you? "

"Why doesn't it matter? The relationship is too big."

Hearing what this martial arts swordsman said, Carpenter Li couldn't help but shake his head.

"If you sell things to them at a high price today, the prices of these things will be increased tomorrow... If these gadgets are really expensive, the children will not be able to afford them."

"this……"

The Jianghu swordsman couldn't help but look at Carpenter Li twice.

"You actually think that selling to those ignorant children is more important than making a lot of money?"

"At least they actually like the stuff."

Carpenter Li still insisted on his idea.

In fact, this is why he likes to set up stalls. Every time he sees the smiles of the children when they take the toys, he will think of his own children - his children once also felt like when they saw his works. That look of joy, that pure joy, was far more joyful than anything else.

It's just a pity that as he made more and more toys, his children gradually lost touch with these things, and even started to be picky about the toys he made, saying that this is not good and that is not right. .

So he could only rely on setting up a stall to feel this simple happiness.

"Interesting, you are also a wonderful person."

After listening to Carpenter Li's explanation, the swordsman also laughed.

"Okay, I am destined to know you. Since you are not willing to sell these things to those merchants at high prices, then use your original craftsmanship to earn more."

Saying this, the Jianghu swordsman sat down in front of Carpenter Li.

"I need a pole, a long pole...don't look at me like that, I still have requirements for the pole. This pole should be made of bamboo skin as the surface, hardwood as the core, and the outside should be painted. It should be like an egg when held. type……"

"Wait, this approach?"

Carpenter Li frowned slightly.

"It's the gun shaft...no, it's the knife shaft? That grip, are you doing it to make it easier to find the direction of the blade?"

"Sure enough, looking at your craftsmanship, I know you are a sensible person."

The Jianghu swordsman who was interrupted didn't pay attention to anything, but nodded repeatedly.

"I've found five carpenters, and they all said they can only make round poles. They even told me that long weapons are all round poles. If I can't find the cutting edge, it's just because I don't know how to use it... I'll be the one to make anything. When I order poles, I spend this money just to let them make things. If the things can’t be made, it’s because of my head. Where does this come from?”

"Well, it's not their problem."

Carpenter Li thought for a while and finally said some fair words for his colleagues.

This is not a problem with other carpenters. It is simply that no one has made the goose egg handle for a long time. Most carpenters have only heard of this kind of pole because of the long production cycle. Even many carpenters have not made lacquer poles. After all, this is a pole for weapons, not an ordinary object. Who would make this thing for nothing?

But by chance, Carpenter Li actually made it.

That was something he practiced in his spare time. Anyway, he had nothing to do recently, so in this free time, he also began to try to make some things he had never made before - such as those egg-shaped poles, which were his works. These things were originally intended to make something for his brother Du.

But now that there are more poles and I happened to meet someone who knows the business, it is no problem to give one to this strange swordsman.

"By the way, this guest."

After returning and turning over a pole, Carpenter Li asked casually.

"You want this pole, what kind of head do you want to match it with? A knife head? Or a spear head?"

"Thank you, thank you so much."

After the swordsman touched the pole, he nodded repeatedly.

"Great, this is what I want... What, you asked me what kind of head it should match?"

Puff--

The hard pole stabbed directly into Carpenter Li's chest.

"Then it depends on what kind of head you can become."

The second update is here, good night everyone.

Thank you for your recommendation votes and monthly tickets, thank you for your encouragement and support.

After resting and exercising these days, my energy and physical strength have been steadily restored, and my brain has finally started to work.
