Chapter 17 Dare to ask, dare not answer(1/2)
"It seems like this is a trouble."
Three half wine said meaningfully.
"Do you still want to drink wine that doesn't cost money now?"
Liu Ruiying asked back.
"I don't think about it anymore... I don't think about it at all! Although it's very exciting to drink without money, it's not interesting if I get it troublesome."
Jiu Sanhan's head shaking like a rattle, never stopping.
Although it costs money to spend money, wine that doesn’t cost money can not only cost money, but also pay for everyone. Compared with this, it’s better not to take advantage of that little bit of advantage.
Liu Ruiying looked at the "Boss Wang" who was greeting someone and sighed deeply.
When Shinian Street was still Shinian Village, there were two excellent craftsmen.
In the past, the mountain villages had vivid faces every day, making the silence lively.
Because the mountain villages are blocked and the traffic between the roads is inconvenient, they will go around and sell goods with many travelers.
A shoulder pole or a pull-up truck carries the biggest surprise of a village in several months.
Among them are those who sell clothes, those who drive carts and sell soybeans, those who collect waste utensils, and those who buy craftsmen.
The one who has the most profound influence on the villagers here is Bujiang.
Replenish the pot, replenish the umbrella, and replenish the basin.
All things can be supplemented by cold and heat.
This is the signature of the craftsmen.
Whenever a similar shout sounds in the village, it will always be accompanied by the metal foggy knock. The sound of the maker is loud, and the sound of the knock can penetrate the wall and accurately convey it to every ear of every family.
Immediately afterwards, the entire village will move early.
Then every household will search out iron pots with holes from their houses, basins with trachoma and other utensils.
Although there are many Bujian, these brothers named Wang are the best in craftsmanship and the most famous.
Craftsmen rely on their hands to eat, and the ones they cherish the most are the guys who eat by themselves.
Therefore, the Wang brothers wear gloves all year round.
In winter, I wear a pair of overgrown deer skin, but in summer, I use a single layer of cloth to line the smooth inner lid and wear it on my hands.
Wearing an extremely old-fashioned gray or yellowish short-cut style, I can no longer see it now... Even the most broken teahouse's water boiling work is much more novel than this style.
The two brothers did not pull a cart, each with a shoulder pole. The eldest brother carried a stove, coal, and iron blocks on his shoulders. The second brother had various repair tools in the frame on the shoulder pole.
People in the village have been waiting at their doorstep.
The two of them carried shoulder poles, and those who walked around the streets did not need to shout anymore.
When a family who has something to be repaired, they will wave their hands when they see them passing by, and then call on the children or juniors at home to see the two masters and make tea.
People who don’t have tea will make a basin of water from the jar and wipe the masters’ faces to cheer up their spirits.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether this tea is drunk or not, and it doesn’t matter whether the face is wiped. It’s just that the master wants to show his respect for the masters.
After all, only when the master is happy can he display his best skills.
Ordinary people can use the pot for half a year, but the work they have done will take for at least one season.
When you meet someone with family, you will keep the two brothers for a meal after finishing your work. The dishes are homely, but they can best express your feelings.
When the two brothers meet families with many children, they will use the materials in their own frame to make a small object and give it back.
The boss' hospitality method and the rewards of the craftsmen are both coming and going.
There are not many people outside the village.
When I walked in, there were more objects in the house.
The two brothers of the Wang family will sort out the objects they brought, and repair them one by one in order from small to large, from simple to complex.
First, there are umbrellas and other utensils. Please feel free to use the texture and the process is simple.
Many people who have nothing to repair will come here to join in the fun, because they carry the halo of traveling around the world and often talk about interesting things outside the village, making the onlookers listen with relish and laugh so hard that they leaned back and forth.
While talking and laughing, the work in my hands is constantly going on.
The small items were repaired quickly, and then they were "big items" such as pots and bowls.
Although these things may not be very big, they are closely tied to life and must be ignored for a day.
At this time, the two brothers of the Wang family will be extremely serious, and the atmosphere will be wiped out in ease just now. Both of them have a very tacit understanding of each other, frowning, and starting to be busy.
For craftsmen, their craftsmanship is very sacred. They are like the study of scholars and the swords of martial artists.
I saw the second brother skillfully installing the bellows, and after setting up the stove, he picked up the iron pot that needed to be repaired and held it in front of the boss.
The boss was holding a small hammer and a knife in his hand.
First, I beat the edge of the pot one by one, then the bottom of the pot, and finally I scratched it with a knife that seemed aimlessly.
Different locations make different sounds.
The boss closed his eyes and could tell that there was something wrong with the sound alone.
Then he signaled his second child to buckle the iron pot on the anvil, then raised the hammer and began to tap the cracks carefully.
At this time, the second brother freed up his hand, took out some iron blocks in the frame according to the amount, threw them directly into the crucible and melted them with fire.
There is no need to worry about physical work like pulling a bellows at this moment.
Many naughty children naturally felt that it was fresh and pulled the bellows to a loud noise. The iron blocks in the dry pot gradually melted into bright iron as the temperature rose, which was extremely dazzling.
After the iron blocks melted and the temperature was appropriate, the eldest son let the stool go out of the position and used the knife in his hand to indicate the area that needed repair.
The second brother held the iron clamp in both hands, lifted the crucible from the fire, and then quickly poured the iron into it on it.
The crack had been paved with mats, covered with charcoal ash, and a small pit was left in the middle.
After the molten iron is poured in, the mat is completely fixed to the bottom of the pot and cannot move.
After a little fixed shape, the heat swelled up with a "sniff".
When everyone came to their senses, a layer of slurry had been applied to the repaired molten iron, and the surface of the patch was no longer abrupt, and it looked exactly the same as the new one.
Before handing it back to the owner's hand, the second child will put clean water in it to check whether it is safe.
Similar to the street tricks, this is also confidence and show off in one's own craftsmanship.
As time goes by, the two brothers become more and more famous. In addition, Shinian Village is close to the former imperial city and is still well-developed and wealthy, and there will be no quarrels like credit, so the two brothers settled here.
I go out once a month and walk around the nearby villages to do some work.
It not only makes you more affordable, but also brings a lot of convenience to others.
After Shinian Village was merged into Zhongdu City, the two brothers suddenly disappeared.
The former village is now the long street.
After the stone mills slowly became lively, the brothers became the most famous here.
At first, there was only a small store selling fried melon seeds, but later it became the "Huixian Tower" where Liu Ruiying and others are now in.
It is really not easy to make a small shop into the current scene, especially the craftsmen who knock it out with one blow.
What's more, it's not just a stone mill street.
All the three religions and ranks in Zhongdu City followed the orders of this pair of brothers. Over time, the name "Boss Wang" became deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Zhongdu City does not recognize its reputation. Everyone sees what the two brothers do. If they are unwilling to accept it, they have to consider who to repair the pots and pans in the future. The supplies to maintain their lives are always the most convenient to be impressed by people.
The Zhongdu Inspection and Inspection Department once spent a lot of manpower and material resources to coordinate these people in the city, but later it was completely released, allowing the two brothers of the Wang family to continue to take charge.
Those who have a reputation are not trusted. First, they are outsiders. The people in the city don’t say anything about it, and they don’t have many contacts with two brothers. No one will give up on the distance.
On the surface, the three masters in Zhongdu City are the most glamorous. But in reality, even Deng Pengfei knew that many things he could not do were just the skill of "Boss Wang" saying a word.
After all, the capital city is not just the Qingzhong Palace, the Investigation Department, the three major officials and clans, and the most common people are the ordinary people.
The people are the foundation. Although they seem to be weak, they are the foundation of a city. Although officials have the power, they are also under the support of the people. Therefore, those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. This is the case.
"Boss Wang" is a perfect match at this level, and it is of course inconvenient. Otherwise, once a civil unrest arouses civil unrest, the three powerful troops will not be used.
They also have to consider that once the civil unrest changes, they will not be able to solve the problem and will not be able to suppress it.
But even these two people who could secretly control the entire Shinian Street and even Zhongdu City, they would kneel down at Liu Ruiying, and imagine that what they wanted to beg for must be of great significance.
"Liu Dianyu, you can say that the melon seeds in the 'Huixianlou' are not delicious and you can't drink wine. But there is no way to talk, right? My brother is slow and he is too impatient to act like this. Please don't mind!"
"Boss Wang" exchanged a few greetings with his friend, walked quickly to Liu Ruiying, bowed and said.
Although the two brothers and one mother are still divided, they are not that important. Therefore, people in the world do not distinguish between the eldest and the second, and they are called "Boss Wang".
"Previously, 'Boss Wang' said he had been keen on for a long time, but he was ashamed of him... I have already become well-known in the Zhongdu Inspection and Inspection Department. It should be that I have been keen on for a long time."
Liu Ruiying said.
After thinking about it carefully, I felt that I didn't have to leave just like that.
To be continued...
