Chapter 13 Dwarves
"Shoulder to calculate the money, and there is one more thing." Jiayi interrupted Lubeca and said. He didn't react. The other party was no longer willing to take the order, and he just thought he was pondering about calculating the price.
Jiayi continued: "I also want to build a hatchet and prepare a long pole for me."
"Hatching? We have it in our store, so there is no need to create it." Lubeca said, pointing to a small pile of swords in the corner of the wall. The swords there are relatively mixed, the quality is slightly worse, and there are also hatchets inside.
Lubeca walked to the corner of the wall and took out a short knife with a thick back from it. This knife is suitable for chopping, but the back of the knife is too thick and heavy, and it is not flexible to use, so it is not suitable for fighting. Although this knife is also suitable for chopping people. However, Jiayi does not like this knife and feels it is not easy to use.
This kind of knife is designed to take into account the uses for fighting when encountering accidents. Although it is not as easy to use for killing swords. However, Jiayi does not need this function. If he falls into the room for melee with a short knife, he will probably be almost finished.
His melee ability is not as good as a dog.
Jiayi took out a pencil, started writing and drawing on the counter, and drew the hatchet in his mind. In fact, it was an ordinary Chinese hatchet. The blade body bent upwards by a curve, and the front end of the knife was widened and thickened, which was more conducive to chopping. The most important thing was that there was no tip of the knife at the front, but was bent downwards by a curve, forming a hook.
In addition to chopping, the hatchet can also hook the branches, so that when cutting the branches and vines, the branches and vines will not slide open.
Although Jiayi has magic on his body and Feng Jie is also very good at using it, he should always keep his magic power full when he is in the wild, so that he can react in time when encountering unexpected situations.
It's always good to save some magic.
Jiayi's sketch is already considered to be in the hall, but of course the characters are not counted, so the hatchet drawn by Jiayi on the counter is lifelike, as if a hatchet is placed on the counter. Of course, Jiayi doesn't feel that way. He once saw the three-dimensional painting on the Internet, and it suddenly looks like the ground is cracked.
Jiayi's paintings are just similar, but they can be considered amazing to Lubeca and the guys.
"Okay, just build it according to this." After the painting, Jia Yi said.
"Can such a hatchet, plus 100 arrow shafts be completed in 3 days?" Jiayi put away his pencil and asked Lubeca.
"This time is a bit rush, and we have other customers. If you are really in a hurry, you can give priority to making it, but the price is more expensive."
"Yes. Give me another skinning knife, how much does it cost?"
"There are 100 arrow rods with 10 copper coins each, and the hatchet is customized with 6 silver coins, and a peeling knife with 4 silver coins. Even if the long rod is given to you, you have to hurry up and add an additional silver coin, a total of one gold and two silver."
"Your price is a bit expensive, even the skin knife costs 4 silver?" Jiayi complained about this price. Although it is not short of money, it does not mean that he is willing to spend money in vain.
When Lubeca heard Jiayi say this, he was a little anxious: "Is the things in our store the same as those of ordinary blacksmith shops? All our weapons are made of stainless steel, especially exquisite knives such as skinning knives. We specially treated the surface specially to avoid rust. Whether peeling or cutting meat, you don't have to worry about the impact of rust. You can take a closer look! If you want to be cheap, why don't you find a small blacksmith shop to make a kitchen knife? It only costs hundreds of copper."
In Lubeca's opinion, his skills in eating have been underestimated by Jiayi, so of course he has to argue. For a craftsman, craftsmanship is the foundation of his pride.
Jiayi took the peeling knife handed over by Lubeca. It was indeed very delicate and sharp, with a very bright surface, just like electroplating. This is probably what he mentioned as anti-rust coating, and I don’t know how to plate it. The quality of this knife is indeed good, so Jiayi accepted Lubeca’s explanation.
After paying the money, Jiayi remembered the sign in front of the door and asked curiously: "The sign at your door says it is written by a dwarf, but I have never seen a dwarf."
Lubeca sighed: "There are no dwarves in our store! But it is not wrong to say that we learned from dwarves. In my grandfather's generation, I once met a dwarves who worked as an apprentice in his store. However, the dwarves' forging technology is too demanding on the body, and the physical constitution of ordinary people cannot meet the learning needs at all. Later, almost no one knew it."
Jiayi seemed a little disappointed: "I also want to see what outstanding features of the dwarf's craftsmanship are."
Then he smiled and said, "No one in your store has mastered the dwarf forging technology. He still wrote on the brand that he was a dwarf?"
Jiayi didn't say the potential words, isn't this a fraud?
Lubeca's face turned red, but his face was already red with fire, so it was hard to tell.
"There are a few people here who know the dwarves. They all think it's a legend. No one recognizes this at all. They originally thought we were clinging to each other. But although we did not master the forging technology, this coating was indeed made by the dwarves' craftsmanship. We are the first in the entire Wickham City, the weapon rust-proof technology."
"Oh!" Jiayi became interested. He didn't know much about weapons. He thought that although the coating technology of weapons was rare, many big businesses should have mastered it. Unexpectedly, it was dwarf craftsmanship, and only they could master it in the entire Wickham City.
"Then why is your store business so deserted? I have been in for so long, and I am the only customer."
"Who buys weapons every day? This is not a vegetable seller. How come so many people come from?"
In fact, Lubeca didn't tell the truth. It was true that there were fewer customers in weapons stores, but his store business was indeed deserted compared to other stores. Although his weapons can rust, their sharpness and toughness were not as sharp as other weapons stores. The main reason was that he spent most of his time studying the forging technology of dwarves, and he didn't learn it, which made his level look awkward. If it weren't for the plating technology, their store would have been down.
Now, at least one decent one is maintained.
"Are you planning to sell the dwarf craft?" Jia Yi suddenly said.
Lubeca was shocked by Kayi's words: "How is it possible? What are you thinking, do you think the mage can do whatever he wants?"
Lubeca was a little anxious. He was used to the aristocrats' tricks and was very sensitive to Jiayi's desire to buy his skills, thinking that he also wanted to seize his skills.
Jiayi had expected his reaction. For those who make a living by craftsmanship, it is very necessary to have a unique technology, which can ensure the competitiveness of his products. In their opinion, craftsmanship is the foundation of one's life, and money will always be spent.
However, people in this world are not that unchanging, and purchasing technology is feasible. After all, even patents have been released between mages.
Jiayi said: "Don't be so excited? Look, you can't learn this technique in your hands. What's the difference between you?"
"I still have a son, a son and a grandson, there is always something I can learn."
Jiayi almost didn’t ask if you know Yugong? This is because of the endless brilliance of descendants.
"If you don't make any changes, your store business will not be good. If the business is not good, you won't make money. If you can't make money, you won't get your wife. Without a wife, where will you get your son? Not even a son, let alone grandson. You should first find a wife."
Jiayi said this, and suddenly he felt a little sad. He talked about it for a long time, and he was alone, so he might be extinct.
He suddenly lost interest and said, "You think about it carefully. I will pick up my own custom-made things in two days."
