Chapter 37 Gluttonous hot pot [One more request]
After coming out of the alley, Shen Ruolan went to Heji Cloth Shop and took back the baskets, beddings, pillows, etc. she had stored there. Using the baskets as a cover, she threw all those things into the space, carrying an empty basket on her own. , Leisurely walk away.
Originally, she wanted to go to the blacksmith’s shop to get a toothpick crossbow first, but on the way to find the blacksmith’s shop, she saw a newly opened grocery store. At the door of the shop, a young man with a smile was standing, greeted and greeted. Pedestrians said that his shop opened today, all goods are sold at the capital, and the original price will be restored tomorrow.
Shen Ruolan had a rare opportunity, because she just had a lot of things to buy, so she followed her buddy in.
Sure enough, the things in this grocery store are very cheap. The bath tubs she bought for 180 cents before, this store only sells soap powder for one hundred and sixty cents, and five cents for a pack of soap powder, and this one only sells three cents. Money is not only cheap, but also full of goods. There are almost everything here. It’s just a small department store.
Shen Ruolan bought all the seasonings and daily necessities that were lacking in the house at once, and all the things were added together for a total of two hundred and sixty-seven articles.
Seeing that Shen Ruolan was a major customer, the shopkeeper deliberately turned her into a repeat customer, and deliberately erased the small amount of the seven cents when he settled the accounts, and enthusiastically offered to send her home in a carriage.
Shen Ruolan refused politely and politely, she put the pile of scattered things into the back basket and carried it easily.
The shopkeeper didn’t know the mystery. Seeing that she was such a thin girl with a yellow face, she was able to carry a large basket of things on her back effortlessly. She was a powerful woman who looked at Shen Ruolan. The eyes are in awe.
Shen Ruolan walked away triumphantly in the astonishment and awe of the shopkeeper’s eyes.
It didn’t take long to finally find a blacksmith’s shop. When I entered, I just saw a burly blacksmith holding a pair of knocked-up copper knockers and polishing it.
Unexpectedly, the blacksmith’s shop could still handle copper work. This surprised Shen Ruolan, and there was a surprise in addition to the accident.
Winter is here, she is wondering where to make a custom copper hot pot, think about in the winter when the water is dripping into ice, she sits on the hot kang, listening to the roaring cold outside, while eating hot pot in full swing. Eat like rain, sweating profusely.
Tsk tsk, that feeling is simply incomparable to gods!
Uh…hot pot.
Thinking of the hot pot, her stomach screamed in despair. It was already afternoon, and she hadn’t had lunch yet.
Since wearing it now, she rarely does not eat lunch, and her life is usually very regular. After all, she cares about her body very much, and she is hungry if she does not eat.
Coming to the city today is a special situation. It’s a rare one, and time is limited. She has to finish her work before she can eat. She can’t delay business for a meal.
Well, I’ll have a big meal when I’m done, she thought.
“Girl, what do you have to say?”
The blacksmith was polishing the door knocker, and seeing that Shen Ruolan was well dressed, she stopped her work and got up to greet her politely.
Shen Ruolan stepped forward and took out the wooden toothpick crossbow, and said, “I want to make a copper one according to this. The arrow should also be copper, and the bowstring should be broken. Can you do it here?”
The blacksmith took the toothpick crossbow in Shen Ruolan’s hand, and a flash of astonishment flashed in his eyes: “Girl, do you want to do this?”
Shen Ruolan asked back: “What? Can’t it?”
“Oh, it’s not impossible, girl don’t get me wrong, it’s just a moment of curiosity.” Seeing Shen Ruolan’s face, the blacksmith hurriedly explained.
He was just wondering why a little girl made a crossbow? Usually the work they pick up at the shop is either horse-shoeing or farming tools. Occasionally there are weapons, mostly swords, and crossbows like hers are rare. This is the first time he sees crossbows like hers. Here it is.
“Girl, to be honest, the style of your crossbow is very strange. I have never made this crossbow. I don’t know if I can do it well. Why don’t I take it in and ask my master if his old man can do it? We will take over your job.”
Shen Ruolan didn’t doubt that he had him, and nodded and said, “Master Lao is here.”
The blacksmith took a toothpick and crossbow and went into the inside. Before long, he carefully helped a thin old man out. Obviously, this thin old man was his master.
Shen Ruolan was taken aback. It stands to reason that the work of blacksmithing is a very laborious job. At least someone with a big waist and a round body like this blacksmith can do it. But this old man is thin and dry, and his hands are like dry chicken feet. Yeah, how do you look like someone who can contribute?
She squinted her eyes, her mind moved, and she suddenly understood.
This old man is not simple. Although ironing is a laborious task, a truly skilled blacksmith may not rely on his efforts to feed his food. This old man looks so inconspicuous, but he is still a blacksmith, so he should be a master among blacksmiths.
Therefore, Shen Ruolan was more respectful to him. After their master and apprentice approached, Shen Ruolan still owed her body and said hello to the old man politely.
Holding the toothpick crossbow in his hand, the old man asked Shen Ruolan in a pleasant tone, “Little girl, are you going to hit this crossbow?”
“Yes it is!”
Shen Ruolan said: “I wonder if the elderly can take this job?”
The old man stroked his goatee, chuckled, and said, “I can accept it, but—”
He stared at Shen Ruolan’s eyes, and said slowly: “The old man wants to take the liberty to ask, who made this girl’s crossbow?”
Shen Ruolan said: “I did it, is there a problem?”
“you?”
The old man’s eyes flashed sharply, obviously he did not believe what Shen Ruolan said, “You are a little girl? How can you come up with such a wonderful thing? Besides, this thing is a weapon, it shouldn’t be what your daughter should think of. what?”
This is suspected!
Shen Ruolan hurriedly looked for supplements. She said solemnly: “The old people don’t know, my family lives at the foot of the mountain, and there are always yellow skins coming down the mountain to harm poultry or something. I can’t do anything about it, so I figured out such a thing to shoot and kill. They, bugs and bugs, make your old man laugh.”
Hearing this, the old man looked at Shen Ruolan for a while, as if trying to see through what she said was true or false, but Shen Ruolan was always calm and open, not as if she was lying, and he believed it. she was.
He just retracted his gaze and said with a smile, “The girl is so smart, but unfortunately the girl is a daughter. If she is a man, she can be a military commander under King Zhan on the front line.”
But if he made a toothpick crossbow, he would be able to become a military division under the prince’s command, and this old man was too susceptible.
Besides, who is King Cham? People are kings, but they are nobles of the royal family. He is a horrible old man of ironsmiths who speaks eloquently, as if he knows King Cham very well, which is really ridiculous.
Shen Ruolan replied that he was really nonsense, and followed up with haha and said: “That’s a pity, I am a daughter’s family, and there is no chance to show off my skills, so I have to use this thing to shoot yellow skins, beat wild mice, etc. That’s it.”
