Chapter 329: Talisman workshop, skinning craftsman! [Subscribe please]

next day

After waking up from the wooden house, Wei Hong went out directly after washing briefly, and then went straight to the Talisman Making Workshop in Fang City.

Soon, after entering Fangshi, following the route he was familiar with yesterday, he came directly to the entrance of the Talisman Making Workshop.

The so-called talisman making workshop is actually a spacious courtyard located in the east of Fang City. It looks antique as a whole. The courtyard is surrounded by a ten-foot-high blue wall. The whole body is made of a kind of blue hard boulder, and the top There were also many obscure lines carved on it. Wei Hong felt a trepidation just by looking up.

"Could it be that these connected patterns are the formations laid out by Qingyun Sect?"

Wei Hong's face was slightly startled, and he secretly speculated in his heart.

Obviously, even within the city, Qingyunmen's workshops are not without any defenses.

He didn't dare to look up and look further, and walked straight towards the main door.

"My Excellency, Wei Hong, took over the errand of the leather picker at the General Affairs Hall. Could you please inform the steward!"

After approaching, he took the lead in explaining his purpose before the two guards at the door could ask questions.

"Where's the identity token?"

"Here, you two, please take a look."

Wei Hong took out the identity token he received from the General Affairs Hall and showed it in front of the two guards.

This identity token is the only certificate that allows him to enter and exit the Talisman Making Workshop. Without this identity token, there is no way to prove that he took the job of skin-picker from the General Affairs Hall, and is even the door to the Talisman Making Workshop. Can't even get in.

"Go in, turn left after entering, and go to the steward first to register!"

When the guard on the left saw the token in Wei Hong's hand, he waved his hand to let him go and gave him a reminder.

"Thank you!"

Wei Hong cupped his fists in greeting, took his identity token and walked into the Talisman Making Workshop.

After entering the talisman-making workshop, following the guard's instructions, he first went to find the steward here to register and officially got the job of skin-picker. Then Steward Wang waved his hand like a fly and asked a similar person to do it. It was a peeler, and a middle-aged man named Hong Gang was responsible for taking him to the peeler's workshop. He obviously didn't want to say anything more to him, a newbie.

Wei Hong didn't care and left directly with Hong Gang.

On the way, he asked Hong Gang politely: "Senior Hong, I'm new here. Could you tell me about the situation here?"

Wei Hong also saw that the man in front of him had a kind and honest face, so he wanted to take this opportunity to find out about the situation of the Talisman Making Workshop so that he could quickly integrate into it.

The middle-aged man named Hong Gang smiled heartily and said: "Haha, you don't need to call me senior. Brother Wei, you can call me Brother Hong or Lao Hong. We are all casual cultivators doing hard work. There is no need to call me senior." , Don’t worry, since the steward ordered me to take you, I will tell you even if you don’t ask!”

"Our Talisman Making Workshop is one of the several workshops of Qingyun Sect in Fang City. Here, it is mainly divided into two workshops, one is the leather peeling workshop, and the other is the leather making workshop!"

"First of all, let's talk about the skin-picking workshop. That's where we skin-pickers work. We skin-pickers are mainly responsible for cleaning the furs of various ferocious beasts, including shaving, removing oil and exorcising evil spirits. The previous steps You will understand the two steps once you try them.”

"There are more than 70 people in our peeling workshop now, and they are doing the dirtiest and most tiring work. Brother Wei, you should be mentally prepared for this."

"The other is the leather-making workshop. The leather-making workshop is different from our skin-picking workshop. There are masters who can make leather independently. Every one of them is a craftsman. Not only the work is easy, but also the salary is much. If Brother Wei in the future If you can catch the eye of any tanner and be accepted as his apprentice, you will have a bright future!"

On the way to the skin peeling workshop, Hong Gang told Wei Hong a lot about the rules and conditions here, so that he, who had just arrived, had a preliminary understanding of the Talisman Making Workshop, so that he would not be blinded.

Wei Hong was naturally very grateful to Hong Gang and kept calling him Brother Hong.

Soon, under the leadership of Hong Gang, the two of them arrived at a huge workshop that was a hundred feet long and more than ten feet wide. Obviously, this should be the skin-peeling workshop.

You can clearly see from the doorway that there are three long rows of special chopping boards placed in this workshop, one row on each side against the wall and one row in the middle.

This special chopping board is one foot wide and one meter high. It is made of a very hard-looking black wooden board. Every few meters, there will be a black stone pier next to the chopping board. Some people are sitting on the stone piers, and some are sitting on them. The stone pier was vacant, and some people stood instead of sitting.

In addition, there is a set of tools placed every few meters on the chopping board. Those who are standing or sitting have a piece of animal skin on the chopping board. They are all using different tools to do the same work at this time. This should be the case for everyone. This is my work station when doing skin peeling.

Also, as soon as he got close to this place, Wei Hong smelled an extremely fishy smell. The smell went straight to the top of his head. Even if he held his breath, it would not help. It seemed that it was so strong that it could penetrate from every pore, even if he Even though I was mentally prepared in advance, I still couldn't help but feel slightly changed by the smoke.

At the same time, he also sensed a strong evil aura that seemed to spread throughout the skin peeling workshop.

"What a strong evil spirit!!" Wei Hong was secretly surprised.

You don't need to use evil spirits to clearly sense that there is a very strong evil spirit inside this skin-peeling workshop, and these evil spirits seem to come from the piles of monster furs.

Seeing Wei Hong's reaction, Hong Gang next to him immediately smiled and said: "This is the peeling workshop. Brother Wei, what do you think? Can you do it?"

"sure!"

Wei Hong's expression returned to normal at this time. He took a few deep breaths and seemed to have adapted to the smell here. Then he cupped his hands to Hong Gang and said, "Thank you, Brother Hong, for your advice. What should I do next?"

"Of course it's work!"

Hong Gang was obviously a little surprised that Wei Hong could adapt to this taste so quickly, but he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he casually pointed to an empty seat and said, "Just sit there. If you want to sit in another seat, of course you can. Wait." I want you to see how I work, and you can just learn to do it again!”

"Okay, thank you, Brother Hong!"

He nodded and walked directly to the location pointed by Hong Gang.

When walking towards the work station, Wei Hong also observed the surroundings carefully. He found that it was not that the skin peelers around him did not notice his arrival, but that everyone acted extremely indifferent, and many of them just glanced casually. Looking further, some of the peelers didn't even look at them. They devoted themselves entirely to the peeling work, but their eyes showed a little numbness, and even their skilled movements looked a bit mechanical.

Apparently, the day-in and day-out errands have made these peelers numb while working.

"It seems that this is indeed not a good job. You can tell by looking at the mental state of these people!"

With this evaluation in his mind, Wei Hong walked to his position without changing his expression, ready to observe Hong Gang's movements.
