He was born as a blacksmith, but he dominated the world

Chapter 77 He is a big fool

Yuan Bingqi laughed and said, "I heard that Master Zhao also used ordinary iron to forge high-quality ironware. It is quite extraordinary. We must see it in this year's regular test."

Without waiting for Zhao Yankui to speak, he looked at Jiang Lin standing beside him and said, "This guy looks a little unfamiliar. Is he a blacksmith transferred from outside?"

Although Daqian's weapons are basically produced by the four major blacksmith camps, sometimes when there is a shortage of manpower, they will recruit help from the public.

The Southern Blacksmith Camp suffered heavy losses in the past few days, and Yuan Bingqi had never thought that the person standing next to Zhao Yankui would be an apprentice.

Jiang Lin bowed and said, "Master Yuan, I am Jiang Lin, and I have not yet undergone the regular test."

Yuan Bingqi was startled, and Zhao Yankui followed up, "This is my apprentice, apprentice Jiang Lin. He doesn't have much ability, but he can easily defeat everyone in your East Blacksmith Camp."

In other places, this would simply attract hatred from the apprentices, but in the Blacksmith Camp, there is competition but it will not cause hatred.

If I really lose, I will only admire that the other person's skills are better than mine.

Yuan Bingqi heard about Jiang Lin from his uncle Yuan Gaohao, who said that Zhao Yangkui had accepted a very good apprentice, and even the master craftsman valued him very much.

only……

He looked up and down at the young man who was slightly taller than Zhao Yankui, with an almost bronze body and an incredibly strong physique.

Yuan Bingqi had a strange look on his face. With that physique, how could he look like an apprentice?
Yuan Gaohao said at the side: "Jiang Lin has indeed only been in the Blacksmith Camp for about two months. I still remember the first time I met him, he was just a frail young man. It has only been a short time, but he has grown as strong as an ox."

Yuan Bingqi was even more shocked when he heard this. Two months?
It is not a big deal to say that they were so strong before coming in. After all, some people are gifted and have amazing physique.

But Yuan Gaohao said it very clearly, that he was frail when they first met, and this word obviously did not fit the image in front of him at all.

However, Yuan Bingqi did not dwell on it too much. He just looked at Zhao Yankui and said, "He is better than all the apprentices in our East Blacksmith Camp. Judging from his physique, he has done it. But in terms of skills..."

"I'm talking about everyone in the Yadong Blacksmith Camp. Who said they are just apprentices?" Zhao Yangkui said.

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Bingqi's face suddenly darkened.

Yuan Gaohao said quickly, "Alright, alright, come in, what are so many people doing at the door?"

After passing through the city gate that was more than ten meters long and seeing the interior of Kyoto, Jiang Lin sighed again.

There are only a lot of seven- and eight-story buildings standing there, but not many three- and four-story buildings.

The road is bustling with people coming and going and cars flowing.

This made Jiang Lin realize that Daqian was not the feudal dynasty he knew. Perhaps the social structure was similar, but it was stronger than any historical dynasty he knew.

The street is about fifteen or sixteen meters wide, and the roadside vendors are neatly arranged, not appearing messy.

Everything was in such good order, which indirectly proved that during the four hundred years of expansion of Daqian, the company was not only good at fighting wars, but also had excellent internal management.

After walking through several wide streets, a huge courtyard appeared in front.

There is a sign on the door: Daqian Foundry
Entering the courtyard, the space inside is extremely huge, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

Jiang Lin then realized that they were not the first to arrive, and there were already thousands of people waiting there.

Needless to say, it is naturally the other two blacksmith camps.

Compared with these teams of thousands of people, the South Blacksmith Camp with only a few hundred people seemed weak and attracted a lot of attention.

However, most of their looks were filled with contempt, and it was obvious that they had a strong sense of superiority.

Such a look made everyone in the Southern Blacksmith Camp hold their breath.

A dozen elite blacksmiths, in particular, held the sacks in their arms tightly, thinking that no matter what, they had to fight for face for the Southern Blacksmith Camp today!
Not long after they walked, Jiang Lin and other apprentices were separated from the blacksmith and went to different areas.

After the people from the East Blacksmith Camp arrived, two men in official uniforms were added to the high chairs in the front. They were the clerks of the Foundry Department, the real iron officials.

Yu Maoming stood below, bowed and saluted, and only turned around after the steward waved his hand.

"Today's regular test is the same as usual. Those who pass the test will be promoted to official blacksmiths, and those who fail will continue to hone their skills!"

"The top apprentice will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver, a Qi and Blood Pill, and a piece of high-quality ironware!"

"The next three people will be rewarded with 60 taels of silver and a Qi and Blood Pill!"

"The next ten people will be rewarded with silver..."

As the rewards were read out one by one, the apprentices' eyes lit up and their faces flushed.

Especially the rewards for the top few places, that is a lot of money, which is very attractive to these apprentices who have never received a salary.

Just as Zhao Yankui said, there is no man who does not yearn for the Juliu River.

After the rewards were read out, the apprentices from the four major blacksmith camps were shuffled and divided into four equal parts.

Jiang Lin was in the first row, with a tall furnace, pig iron, charcoal blocks and other items in front of him.

Except for the lack of a roof, this place is not much different from a blacksmith shop.

The group of apprentices around didn't look at the stove, but stared at Jiang Lin with surprise.

So tall, almost like a small mountain. Is he also an apprentice?

The apprentice closest to him asked curiously, "Hey, tall guy, how long have you been an apprentice?"

Jiang Lin glanced at him and replied, "Two months."

The apprentice heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that. Two months, that means he just arrived?
Fortunately, it’s okay, he’s just a little taller and not tall enough to compete with me.

Yuan Gaohao held a thin stick of incense in his hand and said in a loud voice: "The first skill of an apprentice is to light a fire. The fastest one will be selected. The limit is one stick of incense."

As he spoke, the incense in his hand was lit.

The apprentices with quick reactions have already started to start the fire. Jiang Lin looked around and saw that their movements and efficiency were not much different from those of the apprentices in the Southern Blacksmith Camp.

After calming himself down, Jiang Lin also began to stir up trouble.

The efficiency of his movements is not much different from that of an ordinary apprentice, but the difference starts to show when he steps on the bellows.

The thigh as thick as an iron pillar stomped hard, and the fire rose instantly, so fierce that it almost overflowed from the stove.

Seeing Jiang Lin filling the pig iron in, the apprentices nearby looked at each other, feeling somewhat gloating.

He is indeed a novice. How can he control the heat with such a high temperature? This big fool is doomed.

They didn't mean to remind them that one more loser would mean one less competitive pressure.

Several apprentices carefully controlled the fire temperature, and only when they knew it was about right did they start to use tongs to put the pig iron in.

As a result, as soon as they filled the pig iron into the furnace, they heard a strange noise coming from the side.

Turning around, I saw that the tall figure had already run to the testing area carrying the red-hot pig iron.

Several apprentices were a little confused. What were they doing?

Where did that bright red pig iron come from?
what happened? ? ?
