Upon hearing Tang San's words, the big man's face immediately softened, a feeling of sympathy welling up inside him due to their common poor backgrounds. Besides, the kid was a student at Notting Academy. The blacksmith simply said, "Alright then. If you're willing, you can join us. You can do odd jobs for us, like serving tea and running errands. However, the pay won't be much, but you'll be provided with meals. How about it?"
"Sure, no problem," Tang San replied joyfully, quickly agreeing.
The blacksmiths all smiled kindly at Tang San. The big man glared at everyone and said, "What are you looking at? Don't you have work to do? Hurry up, I'll treat everyone to some barley wine tonight."
Boosted by the big man's words, the blacksmiths threw themselves into their work with renewed vigor, each swinging their hammers to continue their toil.
