Chapter 59: Preparation
An Lan was very satisfied with the finished iron pot, and she couldn't help but think: "Professionals are different, if you do it yourself, it will definitely be all waste." So, she happily paid for it and prepared to leave, but An Lan was a little dumbfounded when she looked at the seven iron pots lined up on the ground. So much, how can I and Hanqiao move back?
Han Qiao also had a headache when he looked at the 7 pots, and the shopkeeper looked at the two of them embarrassed, and thought for a moment before saying to An Lan,
"Does the little girl want to go back and get someone to move? You can put the pot at the uncle's place first. ”
"Hanqiao, you go back and call Xiaofei or Xiaoyue to drive over first, I'll wait for you here." An Lan quickly made a decision after listening to the shopkeeper's words.
"Yes, miss." Han Qiao walked out of the back hall quickly after speaking.
"Uncle, do you know how to make a stove? Is it the kind that is used to bake the fire in winter? An Lan suddenly thought that she was cooking again, so she sent the stove and tables and chairs, and the tables and chairs could be called to the potter's carpenter to help make zuò later......
"Yes, little girl, how many do you want to make?" The shopkeeper replied as a matter of course.
"Can you make it a little smaller?" An Lan also took the opportunity to make her own request.
As long as you can do it, you don't bother the two masters!
"No problem, it's just that if you start burning the fire before the mud in the stove is dry, the smoke may be a little big." The shopkeeper kindly reminded An Lan.
"It's okay."
"And how big the stove is?"
After Anlan explained to the shopkeeper the size of the stove she wanted, she stood quietly and watched the shopkeeper start to make a stove with iron.
……
"Uncle, you can really do it, it's done so quickly." An Lan praised the shopkeeper without hesitation.
"Hehe, little girl, who can make perfect." The shopkeeper said modestly.
"Uncle, can you make a few sets of tables and chairs by the way, so that I won't go to the potter again, and it will save a lot of time." An Lan had an idea and said to the shopkeeper.
"What table? I only make the simplest tables and chairs, and I don't carve them on them. The shopkeeper said nonchalantly.
An Lan originally asked casually, but she didn't expect the store owner to really know how to make tables and chairs, since he could, it would be easy to do.
"Just the normal one, add a wooden board on top of the four legs and use it to put the stove. Well! Also, dig a round hole in the table with an iron pot on the table, don't you think it's okay? ”
"It's that simple? No problem. I've got some wood here, is it going to be ready now, little girl?" The shopkeeper asked An Lan as usual.
Hearing him say this, An Lan became curious about the shopkeeper: "Are you really just a blacksmith?" Didn't you say that there was a specialization in the art industry? How could you possibly have so many at the same time? ”
"Haha, little girl, is the potter you just mentioned or my father's apprentice? Are you also curious about why I didn't learn carpentering? The carpentry is so meticulous that I don't like fancy things. The shopkeeper said happily to An Lan.
The owner of this blacksmith shop really has two moments, and after a while, he has made a set of tables and chairs, looking at his appearance, it seems that he is more professional than the potter, she is secretly happy in her heart, she is lucky, and she asks a hidden master casually, An Lan can't help but feel a little proud in her heart.
……
"Miss, Xiao Fei is driving the carriage outside, see if you can carry these iron pots into the car first." Han Qiao suddenly appeared beside An Lan and said.
The sudden sound was so frightened that Han Qiao was trembling, and after seeing clearly that it was Han Qiao, An Lan put her mind at ease.
"Hanqiao, don't worry, Uncle will finish the tables and chairs soon, and move out together later." After An Lan finished speaking, she still looked at the shopkeeper.
Han Qiao watched An Lan say this, and felt that it made sense when she thought about it, so she stood quietly aside and stopped talking.
……
Finally, after the shopkeeper made all the things, An Lan happily paid, and asked curiously after paying,
"Uncle, how did you do it so quickly, in my opinion, even a potter carpenter may not be able to do it so fast with you,"
The shopkeeper couldn't help but be a little proud when he heard An Lan say this,
"Since I was a child, my father forced me to do carpentry work, I didn't like it, in order to cope with him, I never carved carpentry work, and I did a lot of carpentry work every day, and I was so angry that my father scolded me for not being filial......"
"......" turns out to be like this, if you change to someone else, you will not like a thing and will do everything possible to shirk it, but this shopkeeper is getting better and better, it's really strange......
"Uncle, I still have something to do, let's go first, I'm looking for you if I need anything in the future, okay!"
"No problem, little girl."
An Lan's master and servant moved a lot of things to the carriage, and there was no space in the carriage, so An Lan had to ask Xiaofei to drive home first, and An Lan and Hanqiao went to buy the ingredients needed for the hot pot.
After a big purchase, Anlan's master and servant bought some of the ingredients needed for hot pot, of course, the ingredients commonly used in hot pot such as hairy belly, yellow throat, goose intestines, shrimp dumplings and so on were not bought, and after Anlan and the two bought condiments in the bazaar, they bought some pork, plate oil, vegetarian dishes Anlan didn't buy, she still had a lot in the space, and she couldn't take it away even if she wanted to, so the two returned with a full load.
Back in the kitchen, after An Lan put down the food, An Lan asked Hanqiao to tell Xu Dayong that they wanted to eat hot pot fish, and let them pick out a few big fish to come to the kitchen. Han Qiao hurriedly agreed happily and trotted out of the kitchen to the pond.
Due to the limited materials, An Lan had to settle for the next best thing and eat hot pot fish, but fortunately, An Lan is not short of fish now, and it doesn't matter how much she uses, so she is happy to show off her cooking skills in front of others.
There were still some chili peppers I bought last time, but I couldn't buy dried chili peppers, so I had to make my own oil and spicy peppers, An Lan was very busy in the kitchen, and when Mu Yunxu followed Han Qiao into the kitchen with a bucket of fish, he saw An Lan chopping vegetables with a serious face, and that expression made him can't believe that it was a little girl's face.
I didn't think that this little girl was so good-looking when she was serious, so people unconsciously ignored her age, and listened to her maid say that she was going to cook in person, and she didn't believe it, so she didn't think she really knew how to cook, and if she told others about it, people would definitely think I was sick!
An Lan felt a strong gaze lock on herself, she raised her eyes and saw Mu Yunxu standing there stupidly with a wooden barrel, she frowned, and said bluntly,
"Hey, wood, stupid? Aren't you tired carrying a barrel? ”
"Ahh Mu Yunxu looked at An Lan in confusion, not sure if An Lan was talking just now.
"Ahhh That's you! Sure enough, it was a piece of wood. An Lan couldn't help but say loudly.
"......" This girl, who began to return to Brother Wood, before Brother Wood, is now revealing her true form! It's so big and small, I don't know who taught it...... Mu Yunxu began to talk non-stop.
Although he kept talking in his heart, Mu Yunxu still put the wooden barrel on the ground, he smelled a spicy smell in the air, he didn't feel choking, but felt very fragrant.
An Lan also paid attention to Mu Yunxu and prepared dinner wholeheartedly.
