It was precisely because Qin Shuo couldn't do it himself that he was even more grateful.
Because the girl's hesitation just now confirmed that she had no ill intentions, and it also proved that the girl's decision was not easy.
Qin Shuo asked: "We have only met once, and you helped me last time. Why are you so nice to me?"
The girl laughed and did not answer Qin Shuo's question. She said, "Just tell me whether you will come or not."
When Qin Shuo saw that other girls were so cheerful, he couldn't make up his mind no matter how much he hesitated: "Come, why don't you come? It's rare that someone is willing to accept me. I can't even get happy."
The two of them started walking, and in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Nalan family, they walked around the alley.
Qin Shuo asked: "Oh, by the way, do I still need to take the assessment?"
The girl replied: "That's a process that only big stores need. Our small store doesn't have so many rules."
The girl said her store was small, but she was not being polite.
In addition to the forging area taking up a certain amount of space, the counter and display area total only ten square meters.
Not to mention the remote location of the store, there are only a few people there, including the girl, a master and an apprentice, there are only three people in total.
Qin Shuo once again confirmed the girl's good intentions, because in such a small store and with such a sparse flow of people, Qin Shuo, the fourth person, could not be used.
Qin Shuo entered the store and saw the finished product display hanging on the wall. There was one sword each, and the others were daily tools such as kitchen knives, scissors and sickles.
The finished products are all mortal grade, and they are all for mortals. There is no spiritual power channel.
But Qin Shuo discovered that these finished products, even just a spoon, exuded spiritual energy fluctuations.
After the girl returned to the store, she put down the vegetables and meat she had just bought. She went to the forging room in the back hall and shouted.
"Uncle Wu, Brother Bin, I have recruited a new apprentice. After you finish your work, come and get to know him."
Qin Shuo also followed the girl into the inner hall,
The inner hall was being built, and there was a smell of charcoal, molten iron and sweat.
The bald man named Uncle Wu, with a gray beard, was banging on the iron tool. He didn't raise his head and said with a smile: "Xiao Xiao, are you going to teach apprentices for free again?"
And the young man named Brother Bin also echoed: "What is your number this year? You learned some basic skills from us, and then transferred to another shop to be an apprentice. You also paid for food and accommodation, but you lost money."
Went to grandma’s house.”
Both of them were obviously dissatisfied with the girl's recruitment, but their tone of voice did not mean to resist, but more like acquaintances joking.
Qin Shuo was still a little embarrassed. He also pulled up his sleeves and took a step forward: "Is there anything I can do to help?"
Uncle Wu was a little stunned: "Oh? Are you still a student?"
Qin Shuo smiled and said: "I'm more or less good at it, but I'm definitely not as good as the master."
Uncle Wu laughed: "Okay, help me get a bucket of water first, and I will show you what you are capable of later."
Qin Shuo's true level is that he is a good blacksmith, and he can easily help Uncle Wu.
Uncle Wu and Brother Bin were very satisfied with Qin Shuo's performance. This time, the enthusiastic girl named Li Xiao finally made it right.
The store has done a few sporadic transactions. The location is so remote that only regular customers can come here. And the customers buy only daily necessities. They pay for the goods and receive them. The amount is small, and the transaction is simple.
Li Xiao would occasionally chat with the guests, but spent the rest of the time making dinner.
The smell of food mixed with the smell of molten iron didn't bother Qin Shuo, but Uncle Wu and Brother Bin kept swallowing their saliva.
When it was almost eight o'clock in the evening, the Li family's blacksmith shop was still open, but Li Xiao had already set up a table in front of the counter, put on wooden stools, laid out home-cooked side dishes, and ordered the few people who were still busy to eat.
.
Uncle Wu and Brother Bin also looked at the time. It was almost time and there was no more molten iron.
Therefore, when Li Xiaoyue shouted, they had almost finished the work at hand, simply cleaned up, washed their hands, wiped the sweat and walked out.
Uncle Wu loves wine, so Li Xiao also made him a pot of wine.
Uncle Wu ate it with peanuts and green vegetables, and breathed a sigh of relief: "I have been busy all day just for this bite."
Li Xiao filled the empty wine bowl with half a bowl of wine and knocked on the table: "This is the only one. You can't buy it secretly at night. I've heard you coughing these past few nights. If you
If it collapses, what will happen to my little shop?"
Uncle Wu smiled, but did not comment.
Brother Bin said: "If you don't let him buy wine, you might as well kill him. Besides, this bad old man's forging level is not as good as yours. You can do it when he's drunk. Why are you wearing this high hat on him?"
?”
Uncle Wu glared at Brother Bin: "Can't you use your foul mouth to eat? Hey! Xiao Qin! You eat too! Why are you so polite? You are one of your own when you come in."
Qin Shuo didn't tell anyone his real name. Qing Yi was very sensitive to his name. If he told his real name and Qing Yi heard about it, Qing Yi might escape.
He casually called him "Qin's Expert". Brother Bin was very happy after hearing this, but Uncle Wu still called him Xiao Qin.
Qin Shuo didn't need to eat or drink, but it was rude not to eat anything, so he stuffed some into his mouth and listened to Brother Bin blowing all the way.
This was considered a welcome dinner for Qin Shuo, but neither Uncle Wu nor Brother Bin asked too much about Qin Shuo.
The one who talked the most was Brother Bin. Just over dinner, he told all about the time he peed his pants when he was three years old.
Qin Shuo rarely found stability and calmness,
In this forging city, Uncle Wu, as the head master of a shop, is really not good at forging ordinary products.
But at Brother Bin's age and still serving as Uncle Wu's apprentice, his level is even more difficult to describe.
If Chu Beicheng's selection of blacksmiths was a process of sifting through waves, Uncle Wu and Brother Bin were the impurities left behind.
But as long as you are willing to accept your destiny, even the impurities can live a satisfying life.
In a big shop like Nalan's, apprentices are not paid, but Li Xiao gave Brother Bin a reasonable salary.
Brother Bin saved a small amount of money, and he had a sweetheart. He said that when he saved enough money, he could get married.
Qin Shuo saw that he was chatting about gossip, but his heart was not focused on forging.
Brother Bin also admits that he has no talent and is willing to be an apprentice for the rest of his life. It is difficult to achieve great things with such a mentality, but it must be said that he lives an open-minded life.
Qin Shuo felt guilty,
These people are happy and aware of their destiny. Since they are ordinary people, they are willing to live an ordinary life.
But he was targeted by the Nalan family, and his appearance might destroy these people's peace.
Qin Shuo frowned. He didn't actually have to stay here. He just couldn't find a specific way to enter the Green Snake Palace.
If you ruin other people's lives just for your own purposes, it would be a heinous crime.
