Obligations of the elderly

In the days when they were drifting along the water a while ago, they didn't sit on the raft all day, but stopped from time to time to collect various ores, and the stream was used for cooking for everyone, and then occasionally they made a simple stove on the shore like before. , make something with the collected ore.

So they gradually have daggers, knives, sickles, machetes... they can do whatever they need along the way, and even the stream that they never expected to be assigned to cooking work now has a set of equipment: kitchen knives, fruits Knives, paring knives...etc.They also once found a huge beehive. In order to collect the honey inside, the palace also burned a metal pot, which was full of honey, pure natural honey!

It can be said that the contents of the luggage in the palace have doubled. A few days ago, I couldn't feel it when I was riding a raft every day.

Uncle Ganqing has already made preparations to come here to sell things, right?

Looking at all kinds of things neatly placed on the stall by himself, because there has been no business, Gong Si simply continued to knit gloves.

There are people coming and going around, and no one patronizes the booth of Gongsi.

Sitting behind the stall with her knees hugged for a long time, the stream suddenly poked the palace.

"What are you doing?" Turning to look at him, Gong Si's hands didn't stop.

"Make me a barbecue grill? Like the one we usually use at home in Puzhou, it's about this long..." Xiliu gestured.

"What are you going to do?" Frowning, Gong Si had a premonition in his heart that Xiliu probably wanted to mess with something again.

really--

"Idle is idle, Datou and I will also set up a stall, we will make a barbecue stall, over there is the river, we can get some fish over here, sell it if we can sell it, and eat it with Datou if we can't sell it, No waste at all, right?" After finishing speaking, Xiliu shook his eyebrows at Gongsi.

This request is not difficult, and there is no business anyway. The palace simply let the stream take care of the stall, and went to the side to collect enough soil. The charcoal is ready-made, because they need to light a fire every day. They burned a lot of charcoal before, and now There are some more in the backpack.

After the stove was built, the palace began to pick ore to fire the grill for the stream, and the stream used its own blanket to occupy a place next to the palace, and then took the big head to the lake to fish.

Now Gongsi is different from when he first came here, and he has a deeper grasp of various ores. He knows the approximate purity of the various ores he has collected, and how much material can be produced from a piece of ore. Now he basically He could judge the first arrival at a glance, so he laid the materials very accurately, and threw three pieces of ore in. The quality of these ores was very ordinary, and ordinary fire would do, so he directly used ordinary fire to They were burned to a bright red, and then these red iron embryos were knocked out of their prototypes.He used the hammer he made at the beginning, and now he has hit countless things with this hammer. This hammer is almost as if it grew on his arm. , sometimes like a torrential rain falling, hammering on the iron embryo like a torrential rain, the young man's biceps are bulging, his eyes are focused, sparks burst out from time to time, splashing on him, but he doesn't seem to feel it of.

Gong Si was very focused when forging iron, and this is the level that he can only reach during this period of time. Before that, his forging process was very scattered, because various problems would arise when he forged. His strength was naturally interrupted, and it was when Gong Si could think about refining an item by himself from the beginning to the end, his concentration was finally formed.

A bottle of water was poured on the grill that had just been made. Gong Si carefully looked at the work he had just finished, and when he was sure that it was not bad, he stretched his arms and put the grill on the stall next to the stream.

It was at this moment that he finally woke up from the state of blacksmithing. When he was sober, he suddenly noticed his gaze, and when he looked up, it turned out that there were many people watching him beside him.

What are you looking at me for?Want to buy something?

Gong Si froze from being stared at, until someone knelt down and asked him the price of a spoon, only then did Gong Si realize that he really said what he was thinking just now.

But in this way, his stall is finally interested!

Gong Si hurried over to deal with it, but the other party was not satisfied with the size of the spoon on his booth, he felt that Gong Si's spoon was too small for him.

Gong Si looked up: Well, this is really a big man, the spoon he used is indeed a bit like a toy to him...

but--

With an idea, Gong Si looked down at the stove he had just built to make a barbecue grill for the stream: Yes, why not be afraid that it is not big enough, he can make it now!

Tell the other party about this service, and after the other party agrees, Gong Si immediately asks the other party's needs, and after confirming the size of the spoon that the other party needs, Gong Si immediately picks out a piece of ore and refines it at that time. This is a small piece, yes For today's Gongsi, it's just a spoon, it doesn't take long at all, and it didn't take long for Gongsi to refine the spoon.

The other party tried it and was very satisfied, because he looked at Gong Silian's spoon and knew that the spoon was a waste of normal size, so the other party returned the price for three spoons, and then left happily.

As for the palace, he took a serious look at the money in his hand, put it away, thought about it, moved mud to the side, and built a water tank next to the stove, and finally filled it with water to [-]% full. He simply wrote a line on the water tank: Provide on-site refining services, tailor-made and repairable.

This is also the inspiration given to him by the guest just now: in the entire market, there are many people who directly sell finished products like the uncle, but not many people provide on-site services. Obviously, his finished products cannot compete with the uncle, but he can compare with the service. !He can tailor it!

Not to mention, I don't know if the service provided by Gongsi has filled a certain gap in the current market. After that, his business has really improved. It may not be very popular, but basically it has not stopped.And because the stalls are always full of people, people passing by occasionally think this kind of stall is more reliable, stop from time to time, ten people stop, there will always be two people who can inquire, even if only one person buys in the end, this business It is also done.

Gongsi found that the most popular items are daily necessities such as spoons and forks, and grills are also very popular, which seems to make sense when you think about it. People depend on food, and these explorers have to eat every day. Bar?In order to come to explore, they will of course pay special attention to the preparation of tools, and they will probably spend a lot of money to buy the best equipment, but the daily necessities are probably very casual in Pontok Town. I've seen it in the goods palace over there, and it's really not very good.

The days of adventure are still days after all, and it is better to live comfortably and more comfortably.

It is no wonder that the "daily necessities" business of Gongsi is booming.

Later, Gongsi also made a few kitchen knives that his ancestors were said to be the best at. Not to mention, the kitchen knives sold better than tableware!All kinds of boning knives, slicing knives, chopping knives, serrated knives... Basically, you don’t have to worry about sales after making them.

The amount of ore he carried was limited, and it was used up quickly, and the charcoal was used up even more quickly, but these things can be bought in the market. Gongsi contacted a stall selling charcoal, and gave himself a stream every day. The stall delivered charcoal and bought some ore, which is the most common. Of course, he also welcomes customers to bring their own ore, and only charges a refining fee. In this way, his business will be better.

Lucky also started his initial practice as a letter bird.

Because the blacksmith business in the palace was very good, many customers even left him their contact information, but here, the so-called contact information is naturally not a phone call, but a letter bird.A while ago, he and his uncle were basically together every day, there was no need to send messages, and the two letter birds had nothing to do. Before the palace had time to understand the work mode of the letter birds, the customer asked him to leave his "phone number". At first, he was a little confused Forced, but fortunately luck is much better than his performance.

The guest took the initiative to release his letter bird, and Gong Si was stunned and did not move, so Lucky opened the cage and came out ← After discovering that Lucky loves this cage deeply, Gong Si has not locked the cage for a long time, anyway, Lucky It will open and close by itself.

Its size is about the same as that of the opponent's letter bird, but the opponent is already an adult bird, and the lucky one is a young bird with down feathers. Seeing the black lucky, the guest was stunned for a moment, but it is not the past now, except for a Others, most people don't care much about the color of the letter bird. On the contrary, the letter bird of the other party is very repulsive at first, but it is in a working state. After carefully sniffing Lucky's feathers, he yelled a few more times, and Lucky yelled a few more times, and then cautiously approached the other party and sniffed the other party's feathers. Then, the two of them yelled together.

At first, Gongsi was a little confused, but when they "sang in chorus", he vaguely understood something. The harmony of the two letter birds formed a kind of resonance. It only took two calls, and their voices reached the peak. Highly unified, presumably a sound wave?Are they checking frequencies?Gong Si thought.

Then the opponent's letter bird left, and Lucky also left, and entered his cage with firm steps, Lucky also made a thoughtful expression, as if he was still desperately remembering the frequency just now.

After leaving a handful of feathers of his letter bird to Gong Si, the other party left.

Once there is the first time, there will be the second time. If the frequency of a letter bird represents a phone number, the number of "phone numbers" recorded by luck gradually increases. Most of the numbers are not used at present, but there are two phones. The number is what the palace can use now.

One is the phone number of the owner of the charcoal stall, and the other is the phone number of the owner of the ore stall.

After Lucky wrote down the "phone numbers" of these two people, Gong Si tried to make Lucky work the next day.

When the charcoal ran out the next day, he wrote a note. First, he asked Lucky to sniff the feather of the letter bird representing the owner of the charcoal stall, and then directly stuffed the note into Lucky's small mailbox.

That's right, now I am lucky to have my own small mailbox.

In the past few days, I have had a lot of contact with other people's letter birds, and Gong Si has also seen the equipment of other people's letter birds. There are small backpacks, and there are letter boxes, which are made of wood and metal. The small one is tied to the letter. On the bird's feet, the paper strip can be rolled up and put in, and then sealed.

Gongsi made a letter box for Lucky that day, for which he visited the ore stalls in this market seriously for the first time, and bought a metal ore that was said to be very light and strong, and it took quite a while to give Lucky a post. Made a letter box.

It was done several times before it was completed. Gong Si completely tailored it according to Lucky's body shape. Every time it was finished, he let Lucky try it on, polished the places that might rub his feet, and further reduced weight. Finally, Gong Si returned Engraved the lucky name on the letter box.

Gong Si doesn't know if Lucky can feel his heart, but Lucky was very excited that night. The specific manifestation was that he couldn't sleep, and he insisted not to let others pick its letter post. God knows, other letter birds are always at night when they are by the owner's side. Take off the post to sleep.

Luckily, he slept with the letter box on.

Gongsi decided to take this as a sign of its satisfaction.

With the letter box, there was a letter in the letter box again. Lucky finally started to work for the first time. I saw that it first sniffed the feather carefully, and then barked. Like a target, the little neck turned, the black eyes aimed at one direction, and then Lucky ran in that direction.

……

That's right, run away.

Before the down feathers have faded and the adult hard feathers have grown, it seems to be working by running.

Fortunately, it is really good at running. Seeing it running between people's legs, Gong Si was worried at first that it would be guessed by people without paying attention, but luckily, it was so flexible that it disappeared after a while. , Not long after, the owner of the charcoal stall came directly to deliver the charcoal. Lucky followed by his legs, and when he saw the palace, it barked.

Although delicate and tender, Gong Si understood the meaning of that voice, it was a report, reporting that it had successfully completed its first mission.

Gong Si laughed at that time, bent down and stretched his arm towards it, and luckily jumped on his arm immediately, it was dark and majestic.

"It's quite capable, let me record it for you." Gong Si said, picked up the dagger he made and carved a short line on the lucky letter box: "This represents a successfully completed task, and I will mark it for you every time I complete it in the future." Together."

It was just Gong Si's sudden whim, but luck seemed to understand it. From then on, whenever it successfully sent a letter back, it would definitely ask Gong Si to carve a knife on its letter box. Tradition.
