Lu Qi nodded to Li Muer, and she quickly took a basin to pour the wheat chaff over, and then quickly thanked her.
Aunt Niu still didn't come into the house, she was just showing off, it was dinner time now, if she wasn't delivering something, she shouldn't even show up, otherwise she would be disliked by others.
After seeing Aunt Niu off, Li Muer closed the door.
Lu Qi also repaired the roof. It looked crude, but it was manageable for the time being.
When I returned to the house, I looked at the two eggs on the table, as well as a large basin of three kilograms of minced meat porridge, and a bowl of two taels of porridge, with a piece of pig head meat in the porridge.
Looking at the wheat chaff in his hand again, Li Muer felt extremely guilty for a moment.
"Lu Lang, we have such good food, but we still collect the wheat chaff from Aunt Niu. It's not right. I heard that their family is not in trouble. The eldest son has gone to the mines, and the younger son is still crying for food. It is said that Uncle Niu also has to go to the hospital.
The corvee is still thinking of us."
Lu Qidao said: "If people have good intentions, keep it. In the afternoon, if you finish making the meat buns and have some left over, send two kilograms to his house tomorrow, then cut a kilogram of pork and bring it with you. In a few days, send back the three kilograms of wheat bran."
."
I will send it off tomorrow because I am afraid it will hurt the self-esteem of Aunt Niu and her family.
Li Muer hesitated to speak. She felt that Lu Qi was too generous again.
However, Lu Qi is such a person.
If people respect me one foot, I respect others one foot.
No one else can reveal the blame, but they still think of him, and this kindness must be repaid.
Lu Qidao said: "Let's have breakfast. We worked hard all night last night and we have a lot of work today. Let's get to work as soon as possible after eating."
Then he picked up the bowl of meat porridge and started to feast on it. There were three kilograms of meat porridge with two ounces of meat. This was Lu Qi's order. After he broke through, he would eat more.
Now that I have reached the second level of martial arts, Bone Forging Realm, after eating three kilograms of meat porridge, I am only half full.
Other warriors take medicated diets, and the food has medicinal properties, otherwise they will not be able to maintain their strength at all.
Now that his family is poor, Lu Qi doesn't care about it for the time being, but he will still try to improve it in the future.
After eating the whole bowl of porridge, Lu Qi peeled another egg, threw it into his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it. Then he drank a bowl of water and patted his belly to feel full.
Now I am sixty percent full, which is enough to work.
I just got up and went to blacksmith to complete today's task.
Li Muer was surprised and said: "Lu Lang, there is still an egg that is not eaten."
Lu Qidao: "Yours, you eat it."
Li Muer wanted to refuse, but Lu Qi had already gone out.
Don't give any chance to refute.
Li Mu'er was so moved that she peeled the egg carefully and happily, then put it into her mouth in small bites, even tearing off the skin on the egg shell and eating it clean.
In the blacksmith shop.
Lu Qi started to pack his things and make preparations.
During the day, he needs to pretend to be an ordinary master. It takes time to calcine molten iron and waste iron materials. He also wastes time in forging and wastes iron materials.
In short, during the day he was an ordinary master. It took him several hours to make a low-grade standard knife, so he had to work for several hours and waste as much iron as he needed, no matter how distressed he was, he would still waste it.
Only at night can he plan carefully.
"Master Lu, you got up very early."
A carefree young man came up to say hello, casually turning over tools on Lu Qi's shop with a faint smile on his lips.
Lu Qi recognized him, the loser next to Brother Dao.
She actually showed up as soon as he opened the door, and I think I have been supervising him all the time.
Fortunately he was cautious enough.
He smiled and said: "Brother Dog, in order to complete the task assigned by Brother Dao, I naturally have to get up early to work."
The young man smiled and said: "Not bad, I heard that you turned off the engine just before midnight last night, and the neighbors heard the sound of sharpening a knife in your shop. I guess you have already sharpened a knife?!"
Lu Qi returned to the warehouse with a smile and took out the low-grade knife he had made last night.
The surrounding neighbors also came forward.
The young man's eyes lit up, he took it and looked at it carefully. He couldn't put it down, but in the end he didn't dare to be greedy.
He returned the knife with a smile, held it in his hand, and became a little more polite, "Master Lu, what a skill! One knife in one night, you can make one knife in one day. Ten knives in seven days is more than enough!"
"
Lu Qi said bitterly: "Brother Gou is joking. I worked hard and risked my life last night to get it out. I will do more as much as I can today, so I can do less at night."
The young man smiled and nodded in agreement.
Lu Qin can produce a low-grade knife in one night. He is definitely a veteran among the masters and deserves respect.
And the young man also secretly said that he was worthy of being an abandoned son of the Lu family, and indeed there were still three pounds of nails in a rotten ship.
He didn't dare to embarrass Lu Qi, so he left quickly and went back to report to Brother Dao.
Neighbors came forward one after another, and Aunt Niu also took her little son and came forward to say hello.
"Master Lu, you have such great skills. Keep persevering and your days will get better and better."
Lu Qi smiled and nodded, "Aunt Niu, I have to thank you for the wheat chaff, otherwise I wouldn't have the energy to work."
Aunt Niu smiled so wide that her mouth widened.
Although she has a kind heart, it would be best if Lu Qi could remember her well.
The other neighbors were thoughtful, and they all understood that Lu Qi was a master master, his status was already very high, and it was time to fawn over him.
But when they were asked to bring out food to make friends, most of them shook their heads in denial, said a few nice and indifferent words, and walked away.
You can do without ironware, but you can't do without food.
In today's world, Judaomen recruits all the young men from every household and leaves some settlement money, which is not enough for food. They also ask them to exchange food for favors.
That's impossible!
But there are also people who are thoughtful and want to give it a try.
Some people also went back to let their women get closer to Li Muer.
Lu Qi started his daily work. Blacksmithing during the day was boring. With his current strength in the bone forging realm, even if he hammered 360 times with a hammer, it would be a piece of cake for Zhang Fei to eat bean sprouts.
However, he still exercised seriously, which should be used to train his own concentration!
He had seen the loser come back again, taking turns with others and occasionally peeking at him among the crowd. He was afraid that he would not work hard or that he would run away with the money.
By the afternoon.
People from the county government came and went from house to house asking about the death last night.
An officer violently asked questions all the way. Some neighbors didn't know why, and were slapped if they were slow to answer.
Arriving at Lu Qi's house.
Chai immediately changed his smile and said, "Master Lu, about the death of someone on Chunqiu Street last night, some witnesses said that people ran towards our streets. Did you hear anything?"
Lu Qi sighed in his heart, he also knew this poor man, his surname was Jia, and he was known as Third Master. When he saw him in the past, he would spit in contempt. After all, the abandoned son of the Lu family was still a bad gambling dog, and he was even worse than a dog.
Now that he is a master, he immediately greets me with a smile.
but.
Lu Qi understood the sophistication of people and said with a smile: "Back to Mr. Jia, no, I was busy very late last night and fell asleep deeply."
Mr. Cha quickly said: "I don't dare to be a master. I don't dare to be a master. If Master Lu wants to give me face, I can call him Jia San."
Lu Qidao: "Brother Jia San, I have taken advantage of you."
Jia San suddenly became happy, "Haha, it's my honor, good brother, good brother."
He looked at Lu Qi's shop standard knife and said: "Brother, with this standard knife of yours, one at night and one during the day, you will definitely be able to complete Brother Dao's mission in seven days. When the time comes, you can also help me."
Lu Qi cupped his hands and said, "If Brother Jia has something to do, just ask him."
"Refreshing." Jia San said hurriedly: "You also know that the Judao Sect has opened up a new trend, and our county government has also cooperated with it. Nowadays, there are many people serving as corvees, and there are also many people working as vibrators. Let's not mention the corvees. We need to prepare our own iron tools.
, but the county government must provide tools for vibrating work.”
He looked embarrassed and said: "The tools in the county government are no longer enough. Master Xianzun has assigned some tasks. Brother, I have no way to ask for help. I wonder if you are willing to help build one or two. I will need your handicraft money."
When Lu Qi heard this, he thought thoughtfully. He could actually see that Jia San might not have tasks assigned by the county government, but he could take the initiative to take on tasks.
If it is completed, it will definitely be appreciated and it will be a great achievement.
Befriending him, Lu Qi, gave Jia San an opportunity.
Lu Qi also wanted to make friends with people in the government. After all, he didn't know much about the world, and there were many ways to get to know more people.
What's more, he can use iron materials to make horizontal knives, and he can also sell favors, so why not do it.
He said: "Don't worry, Brother Jia San. If it's not difficult, I will definitely help you when I complete Brother Dao's task. But, brother, I am short of money and don't have any iron materials. If there is a task, I need iron materials. As for handicrafts
For free, Brother Jia San will give you a half discount based on the market price."
Jia San was overjoyed when he heard this.
I went on a mission today to inquire about it. I thought it would be a boring mission, but I didn't expect that I would make friends with Lu Qi and be able to solve the problem of iron tools that the Immortal has been having a headache for recently.
He quickly said: "It's not difficult, it's definitely not difficult, hahaha, thank you brother, you are my reborn parents, you have solved my urgent need."
He didn't ask any more questions and hurried back to pick up the mission.
…
After Jia San left.
Lu Qi continued to forge, waiting for his own night to come.
The neighbors all had complicated expressions, and they were filled with admiration and envy.
It’s true that we have different fates for the same people.
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, the Lu family has another Qilin son!
Lu Qi was actually able to call himself brother-in-law with Master Jia, and wealth was just around the corner.
