"Master, how old am I, and you still say such things?" Xiao Ma said with a hint of grievance.
"Hey, look, look, you are a seventeen-year-old young man, and you are still acting coquettishly in front of the master." Wu Shitou, the fourth apprentice of Old Zhengtou, pointed at Xiao Ma's face and smiled. You have to lean forward and close back.
Wu Shitou is twenty-two years old, five years older than Xiao Ma. He has the best relationship with Pony in the blacksmith shop, and they sleep on the same bed.
"Master, look, senior brother is bullying me."
"Okay, you are the one who is going to marry a wife, so let me save some worry. I will go by myself. That’s fine, it’s not a big deal.”
After saying that, Lao Zheng raised his head and walked out.
At this moment, a group of farmers came over in a hurry, and happened to bump heads with Lao Zheng.
"Old Zhengtou, are you going out?" The leader, Lao Wang, took a few steps quickly and stopped Old Zhengtou.
"Hey, it's Lao Wang. I'm about to go to the county town." Lao Zhengtou replied, "If you want to buy something, just ask Dayong and the others."
< p> When Lao Wang heard this, he waved his hands quickly and said: "Oh, Lao Zheng, I haven't even given you the money for the farm tools I came to buy a few days ago.""I am a person today. That's why I came here. Your hoe is so useful. My neighbors all saw how useful it was and came to buy it with me," Lao Wang said. , pointing at the farmers who came with him.
Lao Zhengtou frowned in confusion and said, "What hoe? Hoes are all the same."
Lao Wang looked at Lao Zhengtou in surprise. He raised his voice and said: "Oh, Old Zheng, you don't know! It's the one Xiaoma sold me a few days ago, with a hoe on one end and a rake on the other!"
Old Zheng The head sounded familiar, but he still looked confused.
Old Zheng looked at the pony in the shop and shouted: "Xiao Ma, what is the name of the hoe you sold me a few days ago."
Lao Zheng asked : "Xiao Ma, what kind of hoe?"
Xiao Ma walked out of the shop and said to Old Zheng, "Master, it's the hoe customized by the little girl that Brother Wan brought before." < /p>
"Didn't she take it away? Did she miss it?"
"No, master, didn't the senior brother learn how to hit one? You said it wasn't very good, just I threw it behind me, and I picked up a piece of it when I was packing it up. Then a few days ago, Uncle Wang was in a hurry to use a hoe, so he took it."
Old Zheng suddenly realized, "It turns out. This is it, I forgot about it, look at my brain."
After saying that, he slapped his head again, "Oh, you sold this thing? You haven't asked the girl about it yet. I don’t agree.”
Just as Xiao Ma was about to respond, Lao Wang stepped forward and interrupted, "Oh, Lao Zheng, how many more hoe do you have? I want them all here."
He didn't wait for Lao either. When Zheng Tou spoke, Lao Wang continued: "That hoe is really useful, especially for my two stone fields. The previous ordinary hoes, after digging a few times, would either make a loud noise or get stuck directly, and they would not work. If it breaks, I can’t work well at all.”
“But this hoe is different. The rake on the other end can pry up the stone, and then use the hoe part to turn it over smoothly. It's so convenient! No matter how hard the rocky ground is, it can be easily dealt with, and it's much more efficient!"
After hearing this, Lao Zhengtou couldn't help but feel a little surprised. At that time, he just thought the object was novel and thought it would be useful, but he didn't expect it to be so useful.

"Old Wang, this hoe is gone." Old Zhengtou said.
When Lao Wang heard that there was no more hoe, he suddenly looked anxious, and the farmers who came with him also shouted after him.
"What? No more? How can this work!"
"Oh, this can't work. Our land is waiting for a hoe. Without the hoe, our land will be useless. It’s hard to plow the land.”
“Yes, it’s a critical time to plow the land. How can we do it without this useful hoe?”
These people, like Lao Wang, all have several pieces of land at home, and there are a lot of stones in the soil.
They surrounded Lao Zhengtou, asking for mercy in various ways. < /p>
"Yes, Master Zheng, you also know that the weather is getting colder and colder now,"
"That's right, the autumn rain is coming one after another. If we don't Hurry up, we won’t be able to plant crops in this field.”
This is the golden season for planting wheat and rapeseed. If you miss it, it will have a serious impact on the harvest. It has a huge impact, so all these farmers are extremely anxious.
Lao Wang thought about it, gritted his teeth, and said to Lao Zhengtou: "Last time, I just took it away and forgot to ask Xiao Ma how much the hoe was. How about this, if we add some extra money, you can help us build a few more hoes like that."
The main reason is that he never thought that this hoe was customized by others. Coupled with his understanding of Lao Zhengtou, he originally thought that this hoe should not be too expensive.
But at this moment, he had no idea, so he could only grit his teeth and say more money. After all, the ground is indeedCan't wait, these old guys of his didn't go to work in the fields today because they listened to him, and came to the town together.
Xiao Ma also advised from the side: "Master, how about we give them a few more shots? The little girl will definitely understand. Look, everyone is anxiously waiting to use them. The crops here can’t be delayed.”
Old Zhengtou looked at their anxious expressions and thought that the crops in the fields really couldn’t wait, and he understood their mood.
After pondering for a moment, he made a decision in his mind.
Then he sighed helplessly, waved his hands and said, "Okay, okay, I'll call you a few more, but you have to wait a few days, not so fast."
Upon hearing this, several people suddenly became happy and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, as long as you agree, Master Zheng, we can wait."
"Hey, what's left in my shop is We don’t have much iron left, so I’m planning to go to the county town to apply for some today. I guess we’ll have to wait until tomorrow to start making hoes for you. We, the masters and apprentices, can pick them up in three days.”
After listening to Lao Zhengtou's words, several people were a little disappointed, but they also knew that there was nothing they could do. People who were willing to rush for them were doing it for Lao Wang's sake, so it was not good. Urgent again.
Lao Wang nodded and said: "Okay, then thank you for your hard work, Lao Zheng. We will come back in three days."
Lao Zheng waved his hand, "Don't worry, I promised you Things will definitely be done.”
