The old man with missing front teeth, the old man with a round face and glasses, and the other two old men were all stunned when they heard the words of the old man Duan, who had a skinny figure and shrewd eyes.
The sun didn't even come out in the west. The old man who usually spent a dime and wanted to break it into two flowers actually wanted to treat them to a meal. Eating was not the key. The key was to take them to the sauna and bathing center after the meal.
They need one person to call them two tender girls...
"Don't listen to this old bastard's nonsense. Can he take us to the sauna to find the lady? Unless the sun comes out in the west!"
The old man Huyazi spoke first, picked up the poker and continued to play. The other old men also smiled and shook their heads, obviously they didn't believe this old man.
"Hey, you old guys, you really look down on people, don't you? I'm telling you, after today, my old man will not be able to spend all his pension money." The old man jumped up and charged at several old men.
Er shouted, I usually suffer ridicule from these people, but now I finally feel proud, and I feel a headache in my heart.
"Old Duan, let me introduce you. This is the Xiao Lin I told you on the phone. He wants to forge something with you. If the forging is successful, he will receive a commission of one million."
Wei Changzhong stood between Lin Kun and Lao Duantou and introduced with a smile.
The old man, who is about 70 years old and 80 years old, has a stooped figure and a pair of shrewd small eyes. He looked at Lin Kun with a somewhat cloudy look. He came closer to Wei Changzhong and whispered: "Old Wei, is this deal really reliable?"
One million is not a small amount, my old man has never seen so much money in his life, I still don't believe it."
Although Old Man Duan's voice was low and seemed to be very cautious, he also deliberately told Lin Kun intentionally or unintentionally.
"Haha, old man, you don't have to worry." Lin Kun said with a hearty smile, and gestured to Liu Gang who rushed out of the car. The two younger brothers behind Liu Gang picked up a box from the car, and the three of them walked over.
.
Lin Kun signaled to open the box, and Liu Gang took the box in person and brought it to Lao Duantou. With a click, the lid of the box opened. Lao Duantou's eyes widened instantly, and the shock on his face was indescribable.
.
"This, this..." Old Duan was speechless for a while.
"Master, as long as you can forge what I want, the money will be yours. You can treat your old buddies to eat, drink and have fun, but I think it's better to forget about going to Sangnan to find my little girl.
Well, at your age, that kind of thing consumes too much energy and is not good for your health." Lin Kun said with a smile.
The old man glared at Lin Kun, "Nonsense, your uncle and I are in good health. Not to mention one little girl, I can take care of two or three."
Wei Changzhong said: "Okay, old Duan, don't brag here. Be careful if your bragging gets too big and your waist is too big to lift a hammer. This business won't work."
"No more bragging, no more bragging, it's still important to do business."
The old man took out the cigarette case from his pocket and began to distribute the cigarettes to Wei Changzhong and Lin Kun. The old man usually picked out the cigarettes, but today he was very generous. He asked Wei Changzhong to help him and raised his hand.
Then he picked up the big rusty hammer and struck a few times on the forging bench that had not been used for at least ten years.
Dang, Dang, Dang...
The sound was ups and downs, and with the hammer blows, Old Man Duan's stooped body slowly straightened up.
Lin Kun and Liu Gang were initially worried that the old man wouldn't be able to carry the hammer. After all, he was so old and still very skinny.
Wei Changzhong smiled and said: "Xiao Lin, the backs of real blacksmiths will not bend easily. They have been forging iron for a lifetime, and their backs are as hard as steel. As long as they hold this hammer and stand
In front of this forging platform, you can regain your youth."
The word 'youth' is indeed an exaggeration, but the old man does look much younger than he did just now.
Under the big tree not far away, several old men who were playing poker also stopped and looked over curiously.
The old man Hu Yazi said: "Old Duan Tou is about to open a business. There are still people coming to forge iron these days. Look at the cars driven by these young people. They are rich people."
An old man with a goatee and slender cheeks said: "Nowadays, these rich young people like to do some weird things. How about I go back and take out the set of singing duets, and we can give it to you?"
If they sing a verse, it might be a business."
The old man with a round face and glasses said: "You have a long face, you can pull it off. We are just some old-fashioned guys who sing a duet for others. If someone pisses us off, who can we talk to for reasoning?"
"
An old man with a square face and a bald head said: "The glasses are right, let's save our energy. We are all old bones and can't move. Besides, even if we can move, how can we be beaten?"
manage?"
Huyazi said: "Let's go and see what kind of airplane the old man is making and what the next guy is going to forge."
The old man banged his head on the forging table. This is a custom passed down by their ancestral blacksmiths. When the forged objects are no longer useful for some years, they have to knock them a few times when they are taken out. The implication is to make these objects spiritual.
All wake up so that we can build something spiritual.
But in the eyes of Lin Kun, Liu Gang and others, after the old man hammered for a while, the most direct effect was to shake off a lot of rust on the hammer. If he took a closer look, it was said that,
This hammer is really not like an ordinary hammer. Even if it has been dusty for many years, when the rust fades away, it will immediately shine.
Seeing that Lin Kun and the others were curious about the hammer, Old Duan looked proud, shook the hammer and introduced: "This hammer was handed down from the ancestors of our Duan family. The ancestors of our old Duan family made it in the Ming Dynasty.
He was already a forging master. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang led his troops to fight and needed a sword that could cut iron like mud, so someone
He introduced the ancestor of our Duan family to him. It took our ancestor less than a day to forge a top-quality sword. This sword was extremely sharp. Zhu Yuanzhang once cut down many enemies with that sword.
Unfortunately, during a river battle together, the sword accidentally fell into the water, and its whereabouts are unknown since then."
Several old men from Hua Yazi came over, demolished Old Duan, and said: "Old Duan, stop bragging here. Your ancestors met Zhu Yuanzhang, and my ancestor was Zhu Yuanzhang."
Lao Duantou didn't say much to Hua Yazi and the others. He shook the hammer in his hand and said, "Do you know the origin of this hammer? It was given to our ancestors by Zhu Yuanzhang, and it is a treasure passed down from our family!"
"
"Old Duan Tou, why don't you throw it away? You're not afraid of losing this family heirloom if you just leave it in the warehouse?" said the long-faced old man.
The old man was not happy, "I said you guys are trying to undermine me. I already said I would treat you to dinner, but with the way you are acting, I think it's better to forget it."
Several old men still wanted to speak, but they were stopped by Lin Kun. Lin Kun handed the package in his hand to Old Man Duan and said with a smile: "Old senior, this is what I want to forge..."
