Chief don't slap in the face

Chapter 295 What is iron!
"My tribe is relatively small in the wilderness, and it has just begun to develop, but don't worry, I can still protect the personal safety of you craftsmen!"

Not to mention the dangers of this place, the living conditions are too harsh. Xia Ye was worried that people would be too frightened to go to this place when they heard about it, so he raised the generous conditions again.

"I believe in the nobleman, and I am not a helpless fish!"

Zhu Yu chuckled, and his modest tone made the atmosphere of the conversation a lot easier.

Xia Ye spent a lot of money to hire people, and he definitely wanted to do something big. It can be said that craftsmen who can forge weapons are the wealth of a tribe, and they will not give up unless they are forced to.

As for the second half of the sentence, Zhu Yu also had a threatening meaning.

"The biggest advantage of working here is that you get enough coins and you don't have to join my tribe."

Xia Ye smiled: "Of course, if you want to settle down, it's also possible."

Zhu Yu smiled, but didn't answer, he wondered if he should work in Chaoge for a year, at least to earn his son's money for marrying a wife.

"If you go to my tribe alone, in order to keep it secret, it is impossible to entrust you with some important tasks. You can only make weapons. If you have a family and a permanent plan, I will pay a higher salary. !"

Xia Ye is depressed, money can be robbed, food can be planted, but talents are not created out of thin air, otherwise there would be no such allusions as ten years of trees, hundred people tree people.

Without decades of accumulation, it is too difficult for Chaoge to explode in talent.

"Important work? Can it weigh more than my sword-forging tree?"

The corner of Zhu Yu's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a trace of disdain. On this point, he had enough arrogance.

"Humph!"

Yi Liwei snorted coldly: "No matter how powerful your sword-making skills are, have you ever cast iron? In your life, you probably haven't even seen 'iron', right? Then let alone the [-]-year steelmaking that the chief said."

"Ironware? Steelmaking?"

Zhu Yu looked confused, and shook his head. I'm afraid these people are fooling himself. There have been people like this before, who used an unfounded name to deceive themselves about their sword-making skills.

Yi Liwei has a tough personality and is proud. She can't bear the expression of a man, and she doesn't bother to talk nonsense. She covered the Xia knife at her waist with one hand, and pulled it out with a swipe!

The sharp blade, like a horse, flashed in shock, and then put the blade back into its sheath, returning to nothingness.

"This is……"

Zhu Yu was startled all of a sudden, although he only glanced at it, but the shining blade, like a thunderbolt, struck his heart, leaving a deep shock.

Bronze is an alloy, because of its quality, its color is basically all kinds of green, no matter how sharp it is polished, it is impossible to be so bright!

"Xia Dao, our Chaoge unique weapon!"

Yi Liwei looked proud. Because of the relationship between the alien race, the female warriors went on an expedition without logistical supplies. In the worst times, they fought with wooden sticks, so they had a paranoid love for weapons.

When the first batch of Xia Knives came out, even Elena couldn't hold back. It was the first time she put on the identity of the Great Prophet and asked for several. According to Jia Duo, she hugged her in her arms every day when she slept. .

Seeing the shocked face of a master swordsmith, Yi Liwei understood that her future companions would no longer have to use their lives to make up for the poor quality of their weapons.

"Hehe, it's just some unfinished products!"

Xia Ye didn't intend to stop Yi Liwei, these days, people with crafts are extremely arrogant, if you don't use some real talents to suppress them, people will look down on you.

Furthermore, no one used the word 'iron' before Xia Ye said it. It was his invention. If he didn't reveal the meaning, other people would not be able to guess it even if they wanted to.

"I have traveled all over the world and been wandering for so many years. I have seen a lot of weapons and appreciated a lot of forging techniques. Even a savage knows a thing or two about witchcraft and refining methods, but her Xia Dao..."

Zhu Yu suddenly forgot to negotiate, and subconsciously took two steps forward, reaching out to grab Yiliwei's knife, but his eyes were already fixed on it.

Although the other party was very rude to do so, Xia Ye was very satisfied, because only a master craftsman who was obsessed with making swords would show such a gesture of loving it.

"Show him!"

Xia Ye teased.

"do not want!"

Elivy refused.

Xia Ye's face turned dark all of a sudden, he looked at the other girls, sure enough, they all turned their heads away, pretending to be looking at the scenery!
"you……"

Xia Ye pinched the center of his eyebrows, he understood, after all, no tribal person would want others to touch their weapons.

"Hehe, I was being reckless!"

Zhu Yu apologized, but his eyes slid to Xia Ye's saber, others don't show me, can't you?But when he saw it, he was dumbfounded. How come this scabbard and this hilt seem so similar?

"Is this the famous sword Tai Ah?"

Zhu Yu guessed.

"Ok!"

Xia Ye took off the saber and handed it over, wanting to win over Zhu Yu more and more. The other party's eyesight shows that he has extraordinary knowledge and a teacher from a famous family. You must know that in this day and age, there are very few channels for the spread of knowledge. Ah, at least I have seen the map of famous swords.

Zhu Yu didn't expect Xia Ye to be so generous, so he became excited, first wiped his hands on his pants, then his face straightened, he clasped his hands together, bowed to Tai Ah, bowed three times, and then took it with great care.

"Good sword!"

Zhu Yu praised, the blade is cool to the touch, with clear lines, full of an indescribable beauty, not so much a sharp weapon for killing people, but more like a work of art.

Zhu Yu's wife stood aside, looking at Xia Ye. This boy was young, but he had a calm demeanor, and more importantly, he treated people kindly. Those women from other races should be his subordinates, but they dared to oppose his opinions.

It stands to reason that this counted in front of outsiders and swept Xia Ye's face. If it was placed in other tribes, it would be beaten to death by the chief, but this handsome young man laughed it off.

"With such a kind personality, surely he will treat his subjects kindly?"

The woman was entangled. After living in the Acropolis for so many years, she didn't save any money and didn't have many memorable experiences. She was tired of it. Maybe she would live a better life if she went to that Chaoge.

For more than 20 minutes, Zhu Yu didn't say a word, and stared at Tai'a with his eyes. Obviously, after watching the famous sword, he had a new understanding of the sword-forging technique.

Treating guests so slowly made the woman very embarrassed and wanted to apologize, but Xia Ye stopped her and told her to silence.

This scene made the woman feel better about Xia Ye.

call!
After more than half an hour, Zhu Yu let out a long breath and expressed emotion.

"Good sword! Good sword!"

"Husband, the nobleman is still waiting!"

The woman complained.

"Oh, sorry!"

Zhu Yu hurriedly apologized, and returned Tai Ah with both hands: "Looking at the sword today, I have some epiphanies, I am really grateful!"

"Why don't you take another look at this dagger and comment on it?"

Xia Ye pulled out the straight survival knife in the boot and handed it to Zhu Yu.

"This look..."

Zhu Yu was stunned. He dared to criticize casually even the works of those master swordsmiths in Acropolis, but after getting this real sword, he felt that all his words were stuck in his throat.

First, this shape made Zhu Yu speechless, and then this color, which was a bit scary, but in the end, he still couldn't hold back.

"What a pity, what a pity!"

Zhu Yu held the jackknife, and with a little force, cut across his fingers.

"Ok?"

Yi Liwei and the others immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Xia Ye, fearing Zhu Yu's murder.

"I'm sorry, nobleman, this is his bad habit, he always likes to use his own body to test the knife!"

Embarrassed, the woman kicked Zhu Yu's knee: "What are you still doing? Apologize!"

"The technique of casting the knife is so-so, barely qualified, but the texture of this piece of 'bronze' is so rare, I have never seen it in more than 30 years!"

Zhu Yu muttered, still immersed in the 'straight knife'.

"If you give me this 'bronze', I can forge better swords!"

Just like heroes love beautiful women and love horses, swordsmiths also like top-quality materials, because they can cast peerless famous swords with them.

"Ha ha!"

Xia Ye withdrew the straight knife and threw out the bait to see if the prey would take the bait.

"I'm afraid this kind of metal is rare? I hope I can buy one or two..."

Zhu Yu thought about it, if he lost his family, he wanted to buy a piece, but after he finished speaking, he was stunned again. He noticed that the sabers of these female guards were all of the same style.

"Couldn't they all be made of this material?"

Zhu Yu is not stupid, so he immediately thought of a possibility, could it be that Xia Ye discovered an upgraded version of bronze?
"Sorry, the amount of 'iron' is too small, only my swordsmith, Chaoge, is qualified to use it!"

Xia Ye refused.

"Hey!"

Zhu Yu sighed, squatting on the ground, holding her head in her hands, with a lonely expression on her face, as if she had lost her direction in life.

Yi Liwei and the others looked at each other, their expressions unchanged, but they were laughing like crazy when they looked at each other. The quantity is too small, and Chaoge obviously has iron ore from a large valley, okay?

If all of them were smelted, a huge steel summer city could be cast.

"If you are worried about my tribe, you can recruit more companions. Of course, it is best to be talented, but I don't dislike ordinary people, but they can only work to make money."

There will always be a shortage of such things as population.

Zhu Yu's eyes lit up, and he thought, if he recruits three or four hundred people, it will be a small team, even if Xia Ye is the great chief, he has to worry about it, right?

In the Acropolis, refugees are not allowed to form cliques, just because they are worried that these people will cause trouble.

"200 people?"

Zhu Yu asked tentatively.

"can!"

Xia Ye nodded.

"The three hundred?"

Zhu Yu swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Well, yes!"

Xia Ye didn't even hesitate.

"Four……"

Before Zhu Yu could say the word 'hundred', his wife read it first, and pinched him on the arm.

"Are you finished yet?"

The woman glared at Zhu Yu, thinking about it, Xia Ye's tribe has hundreds of people at most, and you bring 400 people there, are you planning to occupy it?
"Hehe, don't worry too much, as long as you are talented, the more the better!"

Xia Yezhi said, if you can bring all the artisans from Acropolis, I can eat them too.

"By the way, as long as you attract a talent, I will give you an extra knife!"

Xia Ye glanced at the refugee area: "Presumably this place is the same as you, unwilling to join the Wei family, but there are many talented refugees, right? Bring them here, and the head of the refugee area will be yours in the future!"

"I don't want to be a district chief, I just want to forge a peerless sword!"

Zhu Yu shook his head: "But I will help you ask!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yu was stunned, and then tapped his forehead angrily, didn't he express his heart?How can you bargain?

After finishing the matter, Xia Ye left.

"Go and buy half a catty of pork!"

Zhu Yu smacked his lips.

In the evening, the refugees got off work, so the quiet refugee area became bustling.

"Back? Eat meat today!"

The woman frowned when she saw a young boy come back. This is her son, Zhu Le!

The people in the refugee area were relatively poor, and it was no problem to fill their stomachs, but don't even think about eating meat. Only a craftsman like Zhu Yu can have some spare money.

Normally, Zhu Le would jump up happily, but today, he is depressed!
"what happened to you?"

The woman is puzzled.

"Hey, what's meat? What the nobles eat are Liangpi and meatloaf. Do you know how much it costs? Ten knives!"

Zhu Le smacked his lips. He has been working for the past few days, and he has heard people talking about Liangpi and meat pies.

"My ancestors, ten knives? It's our family's rations for a month!"

The woman was shocked.

"Hmph, what a deceit!"

Zhu Yu snorted coldly.

"Who are you lying to? How smart are those noble people, can they be fooled? After eating on the first day, they went to queue early in the morning the next day. Because of the limited amount, many people couldn't eat it, so they fought!"

Looking at the meat porridge, Zhu Le had no appetite at all: "Hey, when will our family be able to eat Chaoge delicacies!"

Zhu Yu didn't care at first, but when he heard this, he raised his head in astonishment: "What are you talking about?"

"What?"

Zhu Le didn't understand.

"Where's the food?" Zhu Yu repeated: "Chaoge?"

"Yes, it is said that in the wilderness, the name is so beautiful!"

Today's young people don't have any big ambitions, they just want to fill their stomachs and marry a beautiful wife.

"wait!"

The woman took the basket from Xia Ye, looked for it, and found a small wooden sign!

"Huh? Someone gave our family a gift?"

Zhu Le was happy, and picked it up casually.

"Don't move!"

Zhu Yu frowned, picked up the chopsticks and knocked on it, and at the same time warned his wife: "You don't move, I haven't agreed yet!"

Zhu Yu is an honest person who doesn't get paid for nothing!
"I'll just look at the gift list!"

The woman can read and read.

"A box of high-grade snow salt!"

"A can of soy sauce!"

"A jar of vinegar!"

"A jar of sesame oil!"

"A box of biscuits!"

"A can of Liangpi!"

“A box of cakes!”

……

"Liangpi? How is it possible?"

Zhu Le cried out, stretched his head and looked for it from the basket.

Madam and Zhu Yu were dumbfounded. In the previous tribe, their status was not low, and they had seen the world, but they didn't know anything on this gift list except Xueyan!
"Wow, is it really Liangpi?"

After Zhu Le opened a jar, he looked at the Liangpi inside, and his face was instantly filled with surprise. Those seasonings were all packed in a jar, and he just poured it on the Liangpi when eating.

"Who is this? Such a big hand? Daddy, have you met a nobleman?"

Zhu Le was surprised.
