It's obviously a life skill, but you developed it into a magical skill

"Go, go, go as far as possible!"

Blacksmith Zhao's voice came from the room, carrying a sense of anger and helplessness.

Zhou An heard it clearly and was slightly surprised.

Normally, Tiejiang Zhao is a naive person and would not lose such a big temper. What happened today?

Judging from the intentions of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, it seems that they are here to find Blacksmith Zhao. Could it be possible that the two of them had a quarrel and conflict inside?

As soon as he thought this, Zhou An knew that he was wrong. This was not a conflict. This was just Blacksmith Zhao losing his temper.

Because at this time, another man's voice sounded in the room.

"Master Zhao, I come here with sincerity, please don't do this, okay? If you don't give me a face, you have to give a face to the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce."

There was a hint of helplessness and pleading in this man's voice, as if he was one level lower than Blacksmith Zhao.

Hengtong Chamber of Commerce was even brought out.

It's not a threat, I just want Blacksmith Zhao to give him some face.

Soon, Tiejiang Zhao continued to yell: "What face? Let alone the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, even two Hengtong Chamber of Commerce. If I don't give you face, I won't give it to you. What can you do to me?"

"Master Zhao, you can't do this. I'm just here for a visit." The person from the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce said again.

At this time, there was a sound of smashing in the house.

After a while.

The door of the blacksmith shop was opened, and a middle-aged man with a big belly came out.

The middle-aged man was wearing silk and satin, which made his belly look even bigger. There was a hint of shrewdness unique to a businessman on his fat face.

Of course, there is not much shrewdness left at this moment, because there is a black fist mark in the right eye socket.

"He was beaten by Lao Zhao." Seeing this scene, Zhou An understood clearly.

Although he was beaten, the middle-aged man still didn't look angry. After coming out, he straightened the silk on his body, turned around and handed over to the blacksmith shop.

"Excuse me, Master Zhao. I will visit you again when the weather clears up."

There was no response from the blacksmith shop.

The middle-aged man sighed helplessly and turned around to leave. When he turned around, he happened to see Zhou An.

The next moment, the middle-aged man had a professional fake smile on his face.

"What's your name, this little brother? Why do you come to this blacksmith shop?"

Not to mention, although this smile is fake, wearing this smile at the beginning can really give people a good impression.

But Zhou An doesn't accept this trick.

"When asking someone for their name, should you tell me your own name?" Zhou An said calmly.

The middle-aged man looked stunned, patted his plump forehead, and then said with his hands: "I am Qi Shuo, a businessman from the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce. This time I came to Anding County to open a chamber of commerce. Please take care of me wherever I go in the future."

The Hengtong Chamber of Commerce can be so large in the Great Chu Kingdom, even if it is a small businessman under its control, it is not a vegetarian.

At least they know how to treat people well.

Qi Shuo is very smart. When he came to visit Blacksmith Zhao, he happened to meet the man in front of him.

It was obvious that the man in front of him must be related to Blacksmith Zhao.

Anyone who has something to do with Blacksmith Zhao must have a high status.

These days, being polite to people is better than anything else.

Qi Shuo had read a storybook before.

The storybook tells the story of how a protagonist grows up.

In that story, some businessmen are often regarded as small villains.

There are all kinds of adjectives like being a dog and looking down on people, being sneaky and sneaky.

He wanted to say that what he wrote was all bullshit.

These days, only by being friendly can you make money.

Who has nothing to do but goes to find others to offend every day when they are full?

Therefore, Qi Shuo and his guards are very kind to everyone.

Seeing that the other party had introduced himself, Zhou An also raised his hands and said, "Zhou An, a nobody."

Hearing this answer, Qi Shuo didn't believe it.

But he also knows that some people don't like to reveal their identities these days.

If you want to mention it, you will touch the other person's brow.

"It turns out to be Brother Zhou. I will stay in Anding County permanently from now on. I will come to Hengtong Chamber of Commerce for tea when I have time. I have something else to do, so I will leave first."

Qi Shuo knows the importance of communication and the skills of communication.

The first meeting should not be too deep.

This will leave a bad impression.

Soon, Qi Shuo left with his guards.

The blacksmith shop returned to its former deserted state.

Zhou An stepped in with his feet raised.

As soon as I entered, I didn't see the guy at the door.

I saw Blacksmith Zhao sitting alone inside, looking very angry.

"Where's the buddy?" Zhou An found a place to sit down by himself and poured himself a cup of tea.

"I asked him to go back first." When Blacksmith Zhao saw it was Zhou An, the anger on his face disappeared a lot.

Zhou An took a sip of water and said, "Old Zhao, I'm usually quite a naive person, but today I got aggressive. What happened?"

He just asked. If Lao Zhao is willing to talk, he will listen. If he is not willing to talk, then forget it.

I am here to gain proficiency anyway, and I don’t want to meddle in other people’s affairs, especially other people’s family affairs.

When Tiejiang Zhao heard this, he slammed the table hard: "This junior from the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce is so angry with me that he insists on doing it so blatantly."

Zhou An put down his tea cup and said with a smile: "So you are also an old man. Come on, I'm here to tell you something today. I don't want to be a policeman anymore."

Blacksmith Zhao glanced at Zhou An: "It's okay if you don't do it. The new county magistrate has done all these things as soon as he took office. If you don't do it, it will save you a lot of trouble."

"Then I won't be able to protect you." Zhou An spread his hands and said, "Look at me coming here to strike iron..."

Tiejiang Zhao pointedly said: "We Ming people don't tell secrets. You have the talent to eat this bowl of rice, why do you need to be that little catcher?"

"I have also seen these days that your talent is very strong. If you immerse yourself in the blacksmith's profession, if nothing else, you can definitely be called a master of my lineage of spiritual blacksmiths."

Zhou An took another sip of water: "Ling Blacksmith?"

He had never heard of this business.

There are too many trades in the miscellaneous door, and even if you call an old Jianghu, you may not understand them all.

Blacksmith Zhao nodded and said: "Based on spirit, the forger is unparalleled. The so-called spiritual blacksmith is to endow the weapon with spirit, like this."

While talking, Blacksmith Zhao took out an ordinary iron needle.

The next moment, the iron needle floated.

Blacksmith Zhao casually dug a hole in the ground.

"hiss……"

Zhou An took a breath of cold air.

He didn't realize that Blacksmith Zhao actually had this skill.

This needle comes and goes without a trace, and at an extremely fast speed. If it were to trick someone in a corner...

Zhou An has already thought of the bloody hole on the chest of the victim.

This is not a hidden weapon, but more like a guide from Blacksmith Zhao.

Blacksmith Zhao raised his finger, and the iron needles on the ground flew up and kept hovering on his palm.

"This is just a branch of Zhudao. There is another branch of my uncle's branch, but I don't recommend you to learn it."

Zhou An asked strangely: "Why should I study?"

Blacksmith Zhao pointed to the money bag on Zhou An's waist: "This is what my uncle made. Their branch is called the original blacksmith. They use the ability of the casting itself. For example, the money bag is for holding things. There are A lot of space.”

Zhou An looked down at his waist.

The pink purse is particularly eye-catching.

The thing was given by that silly girl Ye Shuang.

Ye Shuang said at the time that his teacher found someone to build it.

Draw the key points and create them.

The person that the current imperial master can find is definitely a master. He is actually Zhao Tiejiang's uncle?

"Wait! This is a money bag, it's made of cloth." Zhou An said.

"You haven't learned much about the casting methods now. You'll know if you take a closer look." Blacksmith Zhao said.

Zhou An picked up the money bag and looked at it carefully. Only then did he realize that it was not made of cloth.

It is woven from an unknown metal, and each strand is as thick as a human hair.

"So. Old Zhao, you have a great background." Zhou An hung the money bag back on his waist.

Blacksmith Zhao chuckled: "My teacher has always been outclassed by my uncle. Everyone in the world knows that my uncle is unparalleled in casting, and they all know that my teacher is weaker in the Great Chu Kingdom."

Weak, just a bit weaker.

At that level, it is also very strong, otherwise how could the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce come here in person?

"Then with your background, why are you still staying in Anding County?" Zhou An asked strangely.

If he had this kind of background, he wouldn't have to be in Anding County.

"I'm stuck." Tiejiang Zhao's tone became deeper when he mentioned this.

"The teacher said, go back to where you came from."

"I started out as a worker making farm tools, so I found a place where no one knew me and followed the teacher's method to break through."

"I really have some feelings, but it's too early."

Zhou An finally understood that this guy stayed in Anding County just to break through the bottleneck.

"Are you considered masters of techniques?" Zhou An asked.

Blacksmith Zhao nodded: "That's right. What do you think?"

"What do you think about it?" Zhou An asked strangely.

He asked this question inexplicably.

What are you thinking about?

I didn’t think about anything.

Blacksmith Zhao said: "Why don't you give up your career as a martial artist, become my master, and learn blacksmithing from me."

Zhou An: "..."

To be honest, he really didn't expect this.

"Old Zhao, I have no plans." Zhou An waved his hand.

It is impossible to become a disciple, and you will never become a disciple in this life.

I'm just a proficient person, why do I have to play with all these bells and whistles?

"I know you are arrogant and want to make a camp on your own, but if you don't give up your original martial arts, you won't be able to make a camp at all." Blacksmith Zhao advised.

To be honest, when Zhou An first approached me about blacksmithing, I was slightly interested, so I agreed naturally.

I thought it was just a temporary popularity, but I didn't expect Zhou An to come every day.

This persistence alone made Blacksmith Zhao a little surprised.

Of course, if it was just persistence, it wouldn't make Blacksmith Zhao look at him differently.

The most important thing is, this terrifying talent!

It didn't take long from learning to now, and I was able to make various weapons.

More importantly, Blacksmith Zhao discovered that Zhou An's own ideas were behind the creation of this weapon.

The hardness of the things created is much higher than ordinary ones.

Tiejiang Zhao also tried to learn it, but found that he couldn't learn it. In other words, Zhou An figured it out by himself.

Since then, Blacksmith Zhao's interest has grown.

Today happened to be an opportunity, so Tiejiang Zhao brought it up.

Zhou An had a headache.

He is really not arrogant, nor does he want to study on his own, he just wants to gain proficiency.

He is a liver emperor, is there any problem with his liver proficiency?

But I can't say this yet.

"Old Zhao, I appreciate your kindness. We have known each other for such a long time, and you know who I am very well. If you really don't want to, you won't be able to get ten cows back." Zhou An could only say this.

Blacksmith Zhao sighed: "Zhou An, do you know that in this world, learning one kind of trade is enough for a lifetime. If you learn two, your energy will be diverted, and you will have to pay double the effort." Work hard, if you learn three kinds, then this person will be mediocre."

The four major categories in the world divide countless professions.

Some people have also thought about learning more on their own.

After learning, I can use more methods, but the final result is not satisfactory.

Energy is limited.

If you learn too much, you will become mediocre.

Of course Zhou An also knows this truth, but he is different.

He just needs proficiency.

Thinking about this, Zhou An still expressed his unwillingness.

Tiejiang Zhao knew that the twisted melon was not sweet, so he could only sigh.

"You can continue to forge in the blacksmith shop. If you need it, I can oblige you at any time."

He had no choice but to hope that Zhou An would know to turn around after hitting a wall.

Zhou An didn't want to continue talking about this topic.

He changed the subject.

"Old Zhao, why are the people from the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce looking for you?" Zhou An asked.

In fact, he was also curious as to why a member of the chamber of commerce came to the blacksmith.

Blacksmith Zhao poured himself a glass of water and refilled Zhou An's glass. After taking a sip, his face was full of disdain.

"What else can I do? I want to do business to make a fortune. They want me to come out and help them make a fortune."

"Don't tell me, the money you gave me is quite a lot. If I hadn't lived in seclusion here for a long time, I would be really impressed."

These days, although money is not everything, it is impossible to live without money.

"Making weapons?" Zhou An asked.

"All kinds of things." Blacksmith Zhao said: "This chamber of commerce undertakes a lot of local weapons business, as well as agricultural tool business from various places, and some miscellaneous things. The most important thing is that some sects also need excellent weapons. .”

"They came to me because they specially built it for some sects, and the price they charged was quite high."

Zhou An said strangely: "Didn't you do this before? If you agree easily, you can still make a lot of money."

Tiejiang Zhao shook his head and said, "I made too much money before, but now I just want to live for myself."

Good fellow, listen to this Versailles.

Zhou An thought it was normal. After all, Blacksmith Zhao was indeed a master in this aspect.

"Zhou An, that fat man is a shrewd man. Be careful and don't be fooled by him." Blacksmith Zhao advised.

Zhou An stood up and expressed that he understood.

Now that he had said what needed to be said, he went to the back room without any ink stains and began to gain proficiency.
