28 Hard work is hard

"What are you looking for a boss? Whatever weapon you want, iron tools just say, whether it's a golden whip, a snake spear, a daguan knife, a bronze sword, a horse chopping knife, an iron rake, an iron plow, a hoe, a sickle, a kitchen knife, ......"

The muscular man said more than a dozen kinds of iron products in one mouth, squeezed out an ugly smile on his flatbread-like face, showed a mouthful of yellow teeth, and summed it up: "As long as you think of it, I can create it for you." ”

Zhen Mingku finally waited for him to finish speaking, and then asked with a smile: "I'm not here to buy something, I want to ask if you are recruiting people here?" ”

The muscular man was stunned when he heard this, he looked Zhen Mingku up and down, his face sank, the person in front of him was a head shorter than him, his body was thin, and he looked sick, not to mention striking iron, I am afraid that even holding a hammer will be a problem, and then, he didn't even bother to say a word, stretched out a hand, and gently pushed it in front of Zhen Mingku's chest.

Zhen Mingku's whole person flew out of the door of the blacksmith shop like a kite with a broken string......

was about to fall to the ground, Zhen Mingku turned slightly in the air, stretched out a hand, and gently supported it on the ground, and stood up very steadily, avoiding being thrown into a dog's.

It seemed to be a slight support, but the white gauze on his arm oozed bright red blood again, apparently the wound that had not healed long had cracked again due to excessive force.

Zhen Mingku looked down at his wrist, looked at the guys in the shop with mocking faces, sighed helplessly, and turned around and walked towards the next store.

"Wait!"

As soon as he had walked a few steps, another strong man with a sledgehammer in his hand, a face like black charcoal, and an upside-down eyebrow came out of the shop, called out to him, and looked him from head to toe.

Zhen Mingku also looked at him, this strong man's figure was slightly shorter than the giant man named the pillar just now, about one meter eighty-five in stature, but the muscle lines were more perfect than the pillar, there was no trace of fat on his body, his upper body was half-naked, half of his chest was exposed, his upper body was a perfect inverted triangle, and his eyes flashed with a shrewd light that the pillar did not have just now.

He stared at Zhen Ming and asked, "What's your name?" ”

Looking at these two blacksmiths who were bullying customers in the shop, Zhen Mingbitter didn't want to deal with them anymore, and said lightly: "Since I don't hire people, is it necessary to know what my name is?" ”

After saying that, turn around and leave.

The black-faced man didn't ask any more questions, his hand flicked lightly, and the big hammer in his hand flew straight towards Zhen Mingku.

Zhen Mingku had already learned the power of the man in the store just now, this black-faced man was obviously more domineering than the man, how dare he take it hard, dodged sideways, the hammer smashed at his feet, and smashed a pit out.

The people passing by around were all shocked, they could smash a big hole out of the masonry road, this hammer was at least more than 40 kilograms, but they didn't expect to be thrown more than ten meters away by this black-faced man.

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhen Mingku's eyes.

"It's quite flexible, but it's a pity that the bones are a little worse." The black-faced man said in a deep voice, "Aren't you looking for a job?" If you can afford a hammer, I'll let you do it in my shop! ”

Zhen Mingkuyan turned around when he heard this, looked at the big hammer on the ground that smashed a hole in the road, at least eighty pounds, he looked down and thought for a while, raised his head and glanced at the black-faced man: "Are there any restrictions?" ”

"Restrictions? With your hand, you can't let others help. ”

"Is that true?"

"My lieutenant Chi Jingde never tells lies."

"Wei Chi Jingde?"

When Zhen Mingbitter heard this familiar name, he couldn't help but take a closer look at the black-faced man in front of him, who was about the same age as him, with knotted muscles, broad shoulders, and a strange mark of a hammer and sickle on his strong and thick arms.

He looked down at his right wrist, which was oozing blood, and he knew that if he forcibly picked up the hammer, the tendons that had been healed might break again, and when the time came, let alone striking the iron, he wouldn't even want to hold the cup again.

There were already a bunch of people around to watch the excitement, and many people put down the burden on their shoulders and sat under the big tree, looking at this side while enjoying the shade, all wondering how this lame and thin young man could pick up a big hammer weighing nearly 100 catties, especially when this young man seemed to be seriously injured.

The other guys in the blacksmith shop saw that Yu Chi Jingde had made it difficult to find his life, so they all stopped what they were doing, came out of the shop, and stood behind Yu Chi Jingde, with a look of good show.

Zhen Ming thought for a while, raised his head, looked at Wei Chi Jingde and asked, "If I pick it up, how much salary will you give me?" ”

"Salary?" Wei Chi Jingde was stunned for a moment, "You mean wages, right?" I'm doing hard work here, how much copper dollars do you think a day can be worth with your strength? ”

Zhen Ming asked bitterly: "If you have a lot of strength, you can earn more?" ”

"Of course."

"What's the highest wage in your shop?"

"Five taels." Wei Chi Jingde turned around and motioned to the giant man behind him who had just pushed Zhen Mingku out of the shop, "Zhuzi, go over and let him see how much you are worth." ”

The burly man who pushed Zhen Mingku out of the store just now stood up from the crowd, grinned, revealing a mouthful of sparse black and yellow big plate teeth, squeezed the strong chest muscles beating in front of the crowd, and beat his chest a few times with two fists, making a loud bang, just as strong and mighty as an adult gorilla, and the crowd couldn't help but let out a series of admiration.

He is the second pillar of the blacksmith shop in Weichi, and has been working in the blacksmith shop for more than ten years.

Zhuzi glanced at the big hammer beside Zhen Mingku's side with disdain, turned to Wei Chi Jingde and said, "Brother Wei Chi, that hammer is too light, it's not interesting, I'll lift that." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the stone lion at the door of the blacksmith's shop.

The onlookers were in an uproar.

The stone lion at the door is carved out of a whole piece of granite, although the volume is not large, but there is also a weight of four or five hundred catties, this strong man named Zhuzi, he dared to boast that he could lift such a heavy stone lion, looking at his proud appearance, obviously confident.

"As long as you love it! Go ahead and don't go overboard. Wei Chi Jingde scolded with a smile, a black face bloomed, obviously he also felt very embarrassed about the bravery of the pillar, this was a good time to promote his blacksmith shop, of course he would not stop the pillar.

The pillar was ordered, swaggered to the stone lion at the door of the store, swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva in his hand, stood up, hugged the stone lion's body tightly with both hands, and shouted: "Get up!" ”

The two thick arms of the pillar were exposed, and his face was the color of pig liver.

In the stunned eyes of everyone, the stone lion really slowly rose half a meter high from the ground, was held by the pillar, and returned to the original place after going around in front of so many people step by step, and then put it back on the ground, making a loud "bang" sound, which shook people's eardrums and hurt.

Applause, applause.

Zhuzi turned around, glanced around at the people around him, and proudly raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, speaking in a thick Shandong accent: "Today, my eldest brother's blacksmith shop is recruiting people, if anyone present can lift this stone lion up like me, I will give me a month's salary on the spot, five taels of silver!" ”
