Chapter 26 Why don't you be my apprentice?
After solving the matter here, Pang Guan went back to his shop opposite and had to go to work at night to make a pair of earrings. This is something the county magistrate wants and it is not careless.
However, this time I saw Lao Bai's unique skill, Sunflower acupointing hand, which was really eye-opening. In the martial arts world, there are many swords and palms, but there are relatively few martial arts with fingers.
Shaolin has a bunch of fingering techniques, such as the Great Power Vajra Finger, the Wuxiang Jie Finger, the Dora Ye Finger, the Moke Finger, and the southwest Dali Kingdom also has the world-famous Yiyang Finger.
But these fingering techniques are all aimed at hurting people, and they seek attack power and lethality. Pang Guan has only seen one fingering technique that is really used for acupoints, which is Lao Bai’s Sunflower acupointing hand just now.
Although one yang finger can also point acupoints, it is necessary to point specific acupoints, and it is not as domineering as the Kuihua acupoint tip hand, which directly makes people settle on the spot, and even the posture cannot be changed.
In Pang Guan's opinion, this is a unique skill, no less than the world-famous martial arts such as the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm and the Jingtao Palm. It is much stronger than the various sword techniques of the Five Mountains.
Besides, Lao Bai's light skills are really amazing. He once said that when he competed with the Thunder Coach, he lost half a step, and the reason for his loss was because he was barefoot with the wind and barefoot. In Pang Guan's opinion, Lao Bai's words are true.
Looking at Lao Bai's figure today, when he took action, there were endless afterimages, and there was no sound of the wind, and it passed in the blink of an eye. Most people couldn't see it. Although Pang Guan couldn't master the light skills, he also knew that even if he was in the entire world, Lao Bai could be ranked in the top five.
This is a very high evaluation.
Early the next morning, as soon as Tongfu Inn opened the door, Pang Guan walked in, "Old Bai, did you have a big mouth fire? Are there any chicken legs in the morning?"
Lao Bai had just finished wiping the table next to him, and heard a sound and put the rag on his shoulder: "Shopkeeper Pang, I still eat meat early in the morning."
Pang Guan waved his hands repeatedly: "Why are you calling me a shopkeeper? Thank you for helping me yesterday, otherwise my life might be gone. Just call me Ren Zhi, don't be polite."
Lao Bai is also a real person: "Okay, then I will call you Ren Zhi in the future. By the way, there were no chicken legs in the morning, and there was still some steamed pork left last night. Do you want it?"
Pang Guan immediately said, "Okay, as long as it is meat, we who do physical work, have no meat to eat, and we can't even swing a hammer. Oh, let's have ten steamed buns and a bowl of porridge."
"Oh, it's so ruthless!" Lao Bai went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
Pang Guan looked around and saw that Guo Furong came out of the kitchen.
"Hey? Aren't you the one who was yesterday?" Guo Furong immediately recognized him when she saw Pang Guan.
"I have a name, my surname is Pang, my name is Guan, and my name is Renzhi. Why are you still here? Shouldn't you be in the prison at this time?" Pang Guan asked in surprise.
When he thought of this, he felt frustrated. Guo Furong didn't want to answer: "You have to care!"
At this time, Tong Xiangyu came down and the scholar was also settled the score. When Guo Furong saw the shopkeeper coming, she sat opposite her and said cheerfully: "Tell me, what kind of work do you want me to do?"
Tong Xiangyu is not busy or inconvenient: "No hurry, let's settle the accounts first."
Guo Furong was puzzled: "What's the calculation?"
Tong Xiangyu took out the abacus and said in a simplified manner: "You broke the century-old staircase, you will count twenty taels, three chairs, six taels, and wine cabinet..."
"Wait, tell me the total number." Guo Furong was impatient and said snatching the words.
Tong Xiangyu smiled sweetly, but she was also very happy: "A total of 60 taels and 7 cents of silver, just forget about the fraction, I will collect you 60 taels."
Originally, seeing the shopkeeper's smile so sinister, I thought it was a lot of money, but I didn't expect it to be only sixty taels. For a second-generation official like her, sixty taels are just a few meals.
"Oh, it turns out that it's only sixty taels." Guo Furong didn't care at all: "By the way, how much is my monthly money per month?"
Speaking of this, Tong Xiangyu smiled even more: "You have two cents of silver per month."
Guo Furong calculated: "Two cents a month, two cents a year are two.4 taels a year..."
"No need to forget it, you have to work with me for a total of twenty years." Tong Xiangyu said without any haste.
But in Guo Furong's ears, it was thunder and shocking. My God! Twenty years?
"Xiaoqing! Take me away!" Guo Furong was about to run out of the inn immediately.
I only heard a 'Sunflower acupoint hand!'
Lao Bai didn't know where he came out, so he pointed Guo Furong who had turned around and was in place.
"I want to leave, no way," Lao Bai smiled proudly.
Pang watched this scene and felt very funny. This inn is good, and his daily life is very happy. It is much better than the intrigue world.
Lao Bai turned around and wanted to go to the kitchen to serve the dishes, and Tong Xiangyu also wanted to go upstairs.
Pang Guan hurriedly said, "Shopkeeper Tong, wait."
Tong Xiangyu came down and asked, "What's wrong, Shopkeeper Pang, what else is there?"
"I want to ask, are you planning to keep her?" Pang Guan asked.
"Well, yes, she broke a lot of things and left to pay off her debts. Besides, she didn't know anything when she first left the world. She did all her unethical things. It would be better to stay here, let her teach her," Tong Xiangyu replied.
"Well..." Pang Guan hesitated a little.
"Is there anything wrong with Store Manager Pang?" Tong Xiangyu asked when he saw Pang Guan's face.
"I want to ask if I can give her to me?" Pang Guan said.
Seeing Tong Xiangyu's puzzled eyes, Pang Guan continued, "Look, I've been open for two months now, and the business is so hot. I'm just alone and I can't be busy. I originally wanted to recruit someone, but I haven't recruited them. Isn't there a ready-made one?"
When Tong Xiangyu heard this, she asked back: "But she is a woman, is it not suitable to make a blacksmith?"
"Who wants her to make a blacksmith? When she sees that she is from a wealthy family, where is her turn to swing a sledgehammer? She just learns to make jewelry and carves from me, and also gives me some help," said Pang Guan.
"This..." Tong Xiangyu hesitated a little.
When Pang Guan saw that there was a show, he quickly said, "Besides, we are all opposite the door, and you are close to each other. If you want to teach her anything, you won't delay it. My second floor is full of meticulous work. You must be patient and be able to sharpen her character."
As soon as this was said, Tong Xiangyu became a little moved.
Pang Guan struck while the iron was hot: "I will compensate for the things she broke, how about it? Zhanggui Tong."
When he heard that he had money, Tong Xiangyu, who was a little hesitant, immediately changed into a smile, ignored everything else, and said, "Okay, I'll follow you!"
"Haole, this is sixty taels, Zhangguin Tong, please hold it away."
Tong Xiangyu took the silver and said with a smile: "Then she will leave it to you."
"Don't worry" Pang Guan said.
At this time, Lao Bai came with Pang Guan’s meal.
"Old Bai, add another bowl of porridge, three steamed buns, and a plate of steamed pork with rice noodles, and then untie her body," Pang Guan said, pointing at Guo Furong who was motionless.
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Lao Bai was puzzled.
"Shopkeeper Tong has given her to me. From now on, this will be my apprentice. I will learn to make jewelry from me and help me," Pang Guan explained.
"Oh" Lao Bai understood: "Sunhua's acupoint removal hand"
If Guo Furong can move, she will immediately attack Lao Bai.
Pang Guan drank: "What are you doing? Sit down!"
Guo Furong heard everything just now, knowing that this is her future boss, and she dared not disobey her.
"Eat, go with me after you finish eating and become a disciple first," said Pang Guan.
"I still have to become a disciple?" Guo Furong asked in surprise.
"What's wrong? Learn my skills and don't become a disciple? Tell you, it's definitely your luck to be a disciple. Your father will definitely agree with it after hearing this," said Pang Guan.
Guo Furong asked back: "Do you know my father?"
"I don't know you, but you follow me and become my apprentice. You will definitely make a profit, and you have made a lot of money. If you want to learn craftsmanship, who doesn't want to become a disciple? Even if you are a constable, you must become a disciple," said Pang Guan.
It was such a coincidence that as soon as Pang Guan finished speaking, Captain Xing brought Xiao Liu in.
"Oh, Old Xing is here, sit inside, who is this person?" Old Bai said.
"This is my new apprentice, Yan Xiaoliu. I learned to be a constable from me. Hey? What can I eat in the morning? Oh, Manager Pang is here too. I ate well this morning," said Old Xing.
"It's okay, I don't have the energy to work if I don't eat enough," Pang Guan said with a smile.
"See? People who are constables have to become disciples, let alone learn craftsmanship from me," Pang Guan said to Guo Furong.
Seeing this, Guo Furong nodded.
"Sit down and eat," Pang Guan said.
"Oh" Guo Furong sat down obediently.
"Oh? Shopkeeper Pang has also accepted his apprentices?" Old Xing knew Pang Guan. You should know that after Pang Guan came, there was only one blacksmith shop in Qixia Town, and everything in the yamen had to rely on Pang Guan. Besides, even the jewelry of the magistrate's daughter was beaten by Pang Guan, so Old Xing was naturally very polite to Pang Guan.
"I can't be busy with myself and I have been trying to recruit someone, but I just happened to meet him," said Pang Guan.
Take Guo Furong back to the blacksmith shop.
Guo Furong's eyes lit up when she saw the sword hanging on the wall, and her eyes were not low.
"You beat this?" Guo Furong asked in disbelief.
"You have to call the master!" Pang Guan first corrected it, and then continued, "How is it? Isn't it good?"
Guo Furong stepped forward to touch it and pulled out a long sword. But when she saw the sword body as bright as autumn water, she flicked it with her fingertips, and the sound of "ding... yin~" was clear and pleasant.
This sound is a sword! It is much better than her sword. I'm afraid it's considered a hairbrush. If this kind of sword is placed in the world, everyone will be jealous of it!
Unexpectedly, a blacksmith in a small town could make such a good weapon. Guo Furong picked up other weapons and looked at them one by one. She found that they were all of the same quality as swords. My God, a room full of swords and swords. If the people in the martial arts world knew about this, it would be better than crazy!
"Master...Master, can you actually fire a weapon of this level?" Guo Furong couldn't believe it.
"What? I feel it's not a loss to be my disciple now?" Pang Guan asked with a smile.
"No, no, no, master, you are a real master!" Although Guo Furong is not well-versed in the world, she grew up in the capital and all six doors belong to her. She can tell whether it is good or bad.
Experts like Pang Guan who can use ordinary iron to create real swords and swords will be offered up wherever they go. If they go to Six Gates, their status will probably not be lower than that of consultants.
