Straight man of steel

Chapter 38 I want a gorgeous big sword (recommendation ticket requested)
"My lord, I have finished building this sword."

There is nothing imminent, and it must be that no one dares to rush directly into Zhang Yuan's room.

"Xiong Er, come in."

With the knife from Xiong Da before, Zhang Yuan now has expectations for Xiong Er's works.

This is another 1000 taels of gold, but as the head of the family, I can't be as open-eyed as Xiao Qing.

Similarly, there is no hilt but a bare sword handle, which really affects the appearance.

"My lord, look at this sword, the cold light is flowing all over its body, and it is sharp and sharp. It will definitely be sold for a good price."

Zhang Yuan was choked up by Xiong Er's last words and was speechless. Everyone in this house has taken advantage of Qian Qian's eyes, right?
Although what Xiong Er said was a bit dramatic, it didn't affect the texture of the sword. It would be great if there was a hilt and scabbard. Isn't that what is written in the novels?

Someone pulled the sword out of its scabbard. At this moment, there was a cold light, and the sonorous sound was like the roar of dragons and phoenixes.

That's the way to be exciting, isn't it?

"I'll talk about selling money later, Xiong Er, can you make a scabbard?"

Xiong Er was probably thinking about his brother's twelve taels of gold, and Zhang Yuan kept silent about the reward, which made Xiong Er a little astonished.

"The villain can make a scabbard. I don't know what kind of scabbard you need, my son. The gorgeous one should be ordinary."

Of course it is a deluxe version, otherwise how could it be sold to those rich nobles.

"Gorgeous, there are a few holes on it that can be inlaid with some jade, and the hilt is also made with some grooves."

Shu County is a good place. The west is connected to the Kunlun Mountains, and the south is connected to the small countries in the southwestern border. The main trade in Linqiong is all kinds of jade brought by outside merchants besides Shu brocade.

Not only many but also cheap.

"The villain will go down and make the scabbard and hilt."

Xiong Er was thinking of leaving, but Zhang Yuan spoke to him.

"Wait, in order to build this sword, you and your brother haven't had much rest these days, so let's do it today and start working tomorrow."

Xiong Da Xiong Er can help Zhang Yuan complete the tasks of the system and make money. These are the two precious bumps.

"Thank you son."

When Xiong Er withdrew, he even took the sword with him. Although it was made by Xiong Er himself, the size of the scabbard and hilt would be different when he took it back.

No one was in the mood to work this afternoon. Back then, these people had to get Uncle Zhao out. He was still tinkering with his reclining water row in the green bar forest outside the house. The time limit he had promised to Zhang Yuan was far away. There are not many days left.

As for the others, they were waiting for the dinner to start and their rewards.

Zhang Yuan had promised to give them monthly money before, but it's not the end of the month, so the monthly money hasn't been paid yet.

These people probably haven't had any money in their pockets for many years. A tael of gold is a huge wealth for them. It won't be too difficult for them to marry a daughter-in-law or something with this money.

The key to when the house is open for meals lies in Cook Wang. When he comes out of the kitchen to wash the pot in the creek, the house will be ready for dinner.

It is Zhang Yuanli's rule to wash hands before meals.

Except for Zhang Yuan himself, everyone else in the house has to work every day. The hands used for smelting iron ore are stained with slag, carbon ash, lime powder and the like. Xiong Da Xiong Er's hands are also stained with oil and smell of iron. , and if possible, Zhang Yuan would like to ask Uncle Zhao, the oldest carpenter, to take a bath before eating. This old man is covered in sawdust from his hair to the soles of his straw shoes.

Today, these people are so impatient that they can still remember Zhang Yuanli’s rules, and go to the kitchen to serve food after washing their hands. Zhang Yuan is very satisfied with this, which shows that everyone takes Zhang Yuan’s words seriously and does not regard Zhang Yuan as a child.

Although this young man is not very old, he is actually their patriarch now.

"Xiaoqing, send all the rewards I promised to give them earlier, son."

The person in charge of the accounts must dig and search, so that the water can flow smoothly. It is better to let Zhang Yuan manage the accounts than to let him go to the iron.

Immediately afterwards, the greedy and eager eyes of everyone in the room were in stark contrast to Xiaoqing's angry expression.

I don’t know if the little girl is angry because she won’t be able to eat the stir-fry later or because the gold slipped through her fingernails.

This one or two pieces of gold weighed only 56 grams, and you couldn't feel the weight in your hands, but everyone still couldn't put it down and rubbed it repeatedly.

Xiong Da Xiong Er, Zhang Yuan gave each of them twelve taels. Although Zhang Yuan did not tell Xiong Erming before, he knew in his heart that his brother Ming would settle the score and he would have to pay for the bowl of water.

Among the dozen or so people, Xiong Er was the most moved. He thought that his reward of ten taels was useless, and he might have to wait for Zhang Yuan to sell the steel sword before sending it to him. Now it seems that he was thinking too much.

"Ahem, don't look at it when you're done, eat well when you eat, and see how you all look worthless, and how do you go out to ask for a wife?"

These words are not at all like the words of the head of the family, and Zhang Yuan is still the hottest talent in Linqiong, but in comparison, everyone still likes Zhang Yuan like this.

After distributing the reward, Xiao Qing went back to Zhang Yuan and sat down, resting her little head with both hands, looking at the bowl of millet porridge in front of her, which didn't have much rice, and sighed.

Regardless of Xiao Qing's feelings, Zhang Yuan picked up the bowl and began to plan. He didn't even eat lunch today in order to sell the knife.

"My lord, is this stir-fried pork with cabbage delicious?"

Zhang Yuan replied to Xiao Qing without even raising his head.

"It's okay, Lao Wang's craftsmanship has improved."

Xiaoqing didn't know where the courage suddenly came from. He pushed the millet porridge forward, pushed it in front of the plate, and said tentatively.

"The servant girl also wants to eat."

Just as she finished speaking, Zhang Yuan was able to put vegetables in her bowl.

Zhang Yuan put the bowl on the table with a slap, instead of picking up food for Xiao Qing, he stood up and shouted to Chef Wang at the table over there.

"Old King."

Not talking while eating is also one of Zhang Yuanli's rules. The bread in Chef Wang's mouth was full of vegetables. When he heard Zhang Yuan calling him, he immediately stood up and mumbled what to say. It was hard to finish the meal. He swallowed it down before he could speak clearly.

"Young master, but the food is not to your liking, I will go down and cook again."

"It's not for this reason, my lord, I told you about letting Xiaoqing drink millet porridge for three days."

Chef Wang nodded, then pointed to the millet porridge on Zhang Yuan's table.

"The villain made millet porridge for Miss Qing."

At this moment, Zhang Yuan suddenly felt that it was a mistake for him to think that there were no stupid people under his command. This chef Wang didn't know whether he was pretending to be stupid or really stupid.

"My lord, what I'm talking about is that Xiaoqing can only drink millet porridge for the past three days. Look at the oily corners of her mouth. It seems that she didn't steal less food in the kitchen just now."

Chef Wang and Xiaoqing's expressions suddenly became ugly. Xiaoqing suddenly had the feeling that someone had been exposed for stealing things, and it seemed that Chef Wang understood Zhang Yuan's words.

ps: During the testing period, I continued to ask for recommendation tickets with the cheek, thank you guys.
