Liniang turned around and saw a black boy who had just arrived in the village.
"you?"
Xia Jin looked at Liniang and said: "Before tomorrow, I will help you repair the axis. After that, let me choose the ore here at will! How about it?"
Liniang narrowed her eyes, obviously suspicious.
"The axis was successfully repaired thanks to senior's suggestion," Xiao Fan said.
Hearing Xiaofan call Senior Xia Jin, Liniang narrowed her eyes and began to think. You must know that Xiaofan is the best blacksmith around here, and being able to call him Senior shows that this black boy has some abilities!
"If you can repair the axis before dawn, I will not only let you sort ore here and take it away, but you can come and go wherever you want in the future!"
“It’s a deal!”
Xia Jin walked to the damaged axis and took a look at everyone.
"Can you please go out first!"
Liniang asked someone to help Xiaofan, and other miners also walked out of the forging room one after another. After everyone left, Xia Jin took out the small balls.
"Xiaowanzi, can you repair this big thing?" she asked.
"It's not a big deal!" Xiao Wanzi puffed out his cheeks and blew a breath, becoming huge in an instant, and then swallowed the shaft in one gulp.
Chew it in your mouth for a while and then spit it out!
The fiery red axis fell into place, completely repaired!
Xia Jin gave a thumbs up, "As expected of Xiaowanzi, he can repair things and make iron skewers, he's versatile!"
When the subject of making iron skewers was mentioned, Xiao Wanzi pouted his mouth unconvinced, and the flames turned red.
"Don't throw me into the stove next time! I'm overqualified and underqualified!"
Seeing that he was still angry, Xia Jin comforted him: "I brought you a gift. You will be happy when you see it. Don't be angry!"
When he saw Xia Jin storing the ores in the supernatural space, Xiao Wanzi rushed over, hugged and kissed him again and again.
"Rock marrow, flame iron! This texture and taste are so tempting! I can eat it!" Xiaowanzi's eyes lit up.
"This is a material for sword training! You can swallow it, but you can't eat it. But if you help me forge a sword, tell me what ore you want to eat, and I will find it for you in the mine!"
As soon as he heard that he was looking for food for himself, Xiao Wanzi's eyes lit up and he eagerly asked Xia Jin to take him to the depths of the mine to search...
As the sky brightened, Liniang and Xiaofan, who had bandaged the wound, looked at each other.
"Is it really possible?" It took them half a year to forge such a large axis before it was completed. Linang didn't believe that they could repair it in one night.
In fact, Xiao Fan doesn't believe it, but now he can only try to believe it. After all, there is no other way now.
The two of them walked in one after another. When they entered the forging room and saw the intact axis, their eyes widened at the same time!
"Fixed...fixed!"
Xia Jin sat on the axis, swaying her feet and blinking.
"Now, can we set off to Xuerong Mountain?"
Liniang opened her mouth, "Yes, of course!"
Xia Jin jumped down from above and stretched, "Then I'll wait for you above."
Looking at Xia Jin's back, Liniang's eyes flickered and shined!
"Xiaofan, do you know who she is?"
Xiaofan shook his head, "I still want to ask Lin Niang about you!"
The two walked over and were shocked when they took a closer look. Not only had the axis been repaired, but it had also changed from a rough dark black to a shiny and polished surface.
Not only was it repaired, it was also polished!
This is really something that can be done in one night!
Xia Jin came out of the mine and sat on the lounge chair outside to rest. She had spent the whole night looking for ores last night and had finished looking for them. Unfortunately, she could not find the tin-black stone that could make the little balls stronger.
However, it was a great harvest~
After the miners brought out the axis, Liniang also came out.
"Thanks to you, otherwise we wouldn't be able to do business. This is the Silver Order, which is a small thank you gift from me!"
Xia Jin took the silver order and her eyes lit up!
The Silver Order represents the status of a senior blacksmith, and can only be obtained by those who are experienced and certified by the Blacksmithing Association.
The blacksmiths are divided into wooden, iron, silver and gold medals.
Xiaofan's sign is a wooden sign, which allows him to freely enter and leave the mine and take away some of the ore.
And the role of this silver medal goes beyond that.
In addition to having the qualifications to enter major mines, he also has a certain say in the blacksmithing associations of various countries. Even people from the imperial court have to give him some slack when they see him.
This thing is somewhat similar to the modern doctoral diploma, which represents recognition of status and ability.
Xia Jin accepted it happily and put it into a cloth bag.
Before leaving, Lin Niang saw her off in person. She only waited to see the convoy go away before returning to the camp.
"Just let her go like that?" Xiaofan looked at Liniang.
Liniang glared at him and said: "She obviously came to us to go to Xuerong City. If she wants to stay, she can't keep her. We might as well leave a good impression on her! We will meet her again in the future!"
"Linang, you still have the foresight!" Xiaofan sighed.
"You have a lot to learn! To run a mine, it's not just about forging. The most important thing is connections. These things are sometimes more important than money! She has such forging techniques at a young age. Behind the scenes
She must have a huge family, and even if she doesn’t, her future will be limitless! Having a good relationship with her will do us no harm at all!”
She took a puff from the cigarette and said meaningfully: "Write a letter and send it back to the old man."
At this moment, someone hurried over and said, "Lin Niang, there is a team coming in front, and it seems to be coming this way! Do you want to stop it?"
"Who!" Liniang asked.
"About a hundred people! They look a bit like General Lin."
"Can you see clearly?" Liniang put down her pipe.
"See clearly! It's him!" the spy reported.
Liniang looked at the black spots getting closer and closer in the distance, and stood up excitedly.
"Take the people and follow me!"
"Are we going to copy the guys and kill them?" the spy asked.
Liniang slapped him on the face and shouted: "General Lin is here, go and greet him! Kill him? I think you are looking for death!"
The spy covered his face and looked confused. "Welcome?"
Liniang has a fiery personality and has never had any contact with the imperial court. Although she is said to be the village chief here, she is actually the master here. She has never obeyed anyone's control.
She was also very disgusted with people coming from the imperial court. She would either drive them away or scare them away every time, and she never said she would welcome them!
Looking at Liniang's back as she left in a hurry, the others quickly followed her.
Arriving at the gate of the mining village, Liniang looked at the people in front of her. When she was sure that the person on horseback was Lin Ziyi, a smile appeared on her face.
"Look, who's coming!"
Lin Ziyi jumped off the horse and walked over with a smile.
