Everyone who said it was empty-hearted, Zhang Ke stared blankly at the big yellow dog climbing the plow and sticking out his tongue, a layer of sweat broke out in his head, and he couldn't help but start to doubt the self-proclaimed perfect plan!

Zhang Ke was worried, but Qiao Fu was overjoyed, grabbed a big cloth bag, and said with a smile: "Brother Ke, there are three fox skins here, as well as two deer skins, and one wolf skin, all of which are quite good skins, and the merchants in Yizhou are careful and are not willing to sell them." ”

Zhang Ke approached and touched it, sure enough, it was soft and smooth, and then looked into the cloth bag, and immediately frowned.

"W-what is this?"

"Old clothes, Brother Ke, didn't you let us find them!" Qiao Fu said and took out a few pieces, Zhang Ke pinched his nose and took them, unfolded them, and saw that the big patches on the clothes were covered with small patches, and they couldn't see the original color, the strong smell was straight to the nostrils, and there were a few insect eyes on the cuffs and collar.

"Brother, I'm afraid only a beggar can ask for it, assuming you are a Tartar, are you willing to exchange it for a leather jacket?"

Qiao Fu was also dumbfounded at this moment, scratched his head and said, "Brother Ke, it took a lot of effort to get these things, do you see if they can be used?" ”

"No, absolutely not, we must be able to sell it when we go all the way, and we will waste our efforts with garbage!"

The Qiao brothers were dumbfounded, looking at this pile of rags, their faces flushed. Qiao Gui lowered his head and said, "It's all useless to us, and we can't even do this little thing." ”

"Ke'er, don't blame them, it's your bad idea!" Shen walked out of the house holding the homespun cloth, and Xiaoxue holding the soles of his shoes.

Shen put the things on the climbing plow and said, "Ke'er, aren't you quite shrewd these days, why are you confused now?" They are all poor families, a piece of clothing is worn from the eldest to the oldest, sewn and mend, you see which child is not in tatters! Besides, every household knows about us and Wan Baichuan, and they exchange good clothes for us, isn't it the same as going against Wanjia? ”

Zhang Ke, who said a few words from the Shen family, suddenly realized that the old lady was indeed right.

Zhang Ke hurriedly arched his hand at Qiao Gui and Qiao Fu, and said apologetically: "It's all my inconsiderate thinking, and I blame you." ”

Qiao Gui smiled honestly: "It's all my own people who didn't say it, it's just that these clothes can't be made, can you still make up twenty taels of silver?" ”

Shen said with a smile: "Ke'er, when it comes to old clothes, we also have a lot of old clothes, all of which were bought by your father back then, although they are old, but there are no patches." In the past two days, Xiaoxue and I have washed and packed a big bag. ”

"Great!" Zhang Ke suddenly smiled, in fact, he didn't just think about paying off his debts this time, otherwise the iron stove would be almost there. Zhang Ke is ready to catch the first pot of gold, he can't play anything without money, and the more things the better.

"Mother, are these clothes all there?" Looking at something like a small mountain, Zhang Ke's eyes widened.

Shen Shi nodded and sighed: "Dead ghosts like to spend lavishly, and they buy things blindly when they have a little money. ”

There is blame in his tone, but the smile on the corner of his mouth can't deceive people, the dead ghost dad still has the ability!

Shen Shi looked at it and sighed: "The old ones don't go, the new ones don't come." Take it all and save yourself the hassle! ”

She led the way, Xiaoxue and Hui'er did it together, and in a blink of an eye, they wrapped a big bag, plus the sole cloth, and the leather that Qiao Gui brought was all put on the first climbing plow.

Shen pulled Zhang Ke over again, covering him tightly from top to bottom. Thick cotton jacket and cotton pants, dog skin hat, felt boots, in a blink of an eye, it was almost the same as the two brothers of the Qiao family.

"Mother, this is too thick!"

"It's good to be thick, someone hurts. It's better to go out than anything else, you can take this money too! ”

Shen stuffed the silver sent by Blacksmith Liu into Zhang Ke's arms, Zhang Ke did not refuse, carefully put it away, and checked it two or three times, this is all the assets.

"Mother, I'm not at home, you and Xiaoxue don't be at home, Wanjia is not a good thing, you have to guard against them, go to Uncle Qiao's house and bear with it, at most ten days, my son can come back, and it will be fine!"

Shen nodded reluctantly, "Ke'er, it's so old, it's the first time I've gone far away, and my mother can't let go of it!" ”

The old lady's eyes were full of tears, thick reluctance, Zhang Ke deliberately pretended not to care, and said with a smile: "The big husband is ambitious in all directions, and the little Guangning has not yet put it in his eyes, waiting for our good news." Mother, Xiaoxue, Hui'er, I'm leaving! ”

"Brother Ke, take care!" Xiaoxue was in tears.

Zhang Ke strode into the courtyard and smiled at the Qiao brothers: "Let's go, let's go to Uncle Liu's house again and bring some gadgets." ”

"Blacksmith Liu?" Qiao Fu asked in surprise: "Brother Ke, you can do it, Blacksmith Liu's craftsmanship is famous far and wide, and the things he made are guaranteed not to be said!" Tell me, what exactly did you make him do? ”

Zhang Ke smiled: "Hahaha, the secret of heaven must not be revealed, you will know it then." ”

The three of them drove the dog to climb the plow, rushed out of the house and left the house, and when they reached the corner of the street, Zhang Ke turned back suddenly, the old lady stood at the door, Xiaoxue and Hui'er snuggled tightly, their eyes were full of care and reluctance, and they all fell on him. A warm current surged from the bottom of my heart, my eyes couldn't help but be sour, and the bitter and salty liquid was about to gush out.

"It's useless, it's all crossed, and it's still so fragile!"

Zhang Ke hardened his heart, turned his head and left with the Qiao brothers, Daqing Fort was not big, and they went to Liu Blacksmith's house in the east gate in a blink of an eye.

Driven by curiosity, Qiao Fu ran to the front, and shouted from a distance: "Uncle Liu, I'm coming, are you at home?" ”

After shouting a few times, but no one answered, Qiao Fu turned over and jumped into the courtyard and pushed the door open.

"Uncle Liu, what did you do for Brother Ke, let me open my eyes first......"

Before he finished speaking, Qiao Fu looked inside, and suddenly his mother was frightened, and he ran out with a roll.

"Oh no, big brother, Brother Ke, it's not good, Uncle Liu, they're all dead!"

Qiao Fu cried and ran in front of Zhang Ke and them, and said in a hurry: "Go find Zhou Langzhong, maybe there is still salvation." If you want me to say, maybe Wan Baichuan did it, this guy has a really black heart. Uncle Liu is such a good person, when he has money, he must burn more paper for him, let him go underground to wear gold and silver, and have three wives and four concubines......"

He howled and cried, Zhang Ke was also startled, he would not forget the honest man who gave him silver in the morning, if Blacksmith Liu was really killed, even if he fought for his life, he would take revenge!

Zhang Ke was about to do it, but suddenly his face became strange again.

Qiao Fu was still talking to himself: "Brother Ke, what I said is true, just paste three hundred twenty-eight girls, and burn them all for Uncle Liu!" ”

"Ahem, no need, let's keep it for your father!"

The old man's voice sounded from behind, so frightened that Qiao Fu jumped three feet high, turned his head suddenly, and saw Blacksmith Liu wearing a torn cotton jacket and standing with his eyebrows twisted. In an instant, his face changed back and forth, as if he had opened a dyeing workshop, which was wonderful!

"Huh? Are you a human or a ghost? ”

"Bastard boy, the old man lives well, and he doesn't need you to offer filial piety!"

Qiao Fu said in surprise: "I just saw you lying next to the stove, didn't I?" ”

Blacksmith Liu snorted: "In the past few days, I have been working with a few children until this morning, and I just fell asleep and listened to your ghostly scream!" ”

Qiao Fu then figured out what was going on, scratched his head, and said with a smile: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!" ”

Qiao Gui and Zhang Ke couldn't hold back any longer, and immediately burst out laughing.

"Uncle Liu, I'm causing you trouble!" Zhang Ke knew that Blacksmith Liu was tired, and said apologetically.

Blacksmith Liu didn't care, and grabbed Zhang Ke, and his old face full of pimples bloomed.

"Nephew, come in with you, I'm sure you'll be surprised!"

I followed Blacksmith Liu into the room, where there were hammer molds and the like all over the floor, pine wood piled up in the corners, and iron-striking stoves and bellows on the front. There were also three black boys standing side by side, all with panda eyes, and the elder with-eyed feces saw Zhang Ke come in, rubbing his eyes and smiling at the same time.

"Hmph, something that doesn't make a difference, just know how to giggle."

Qiao Fu couldn't wait for a long time, and hurriedly said to the Liu family brothers: "Brother Shi, if there is any treasure, take it out quickly, let me take a good look!" ”

The boss of the Liu family nodded hurriedly and said, "Let's go, let's go!" ”

After a while, he took out a black stove from the empty room next to him and placed it in front of everyone. Blacksmith Liu had a smug expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Big nephew, you see if you are doing a good job, right?" ”

The stove is cylindrical, heavy in the hand, enough to weigh more than a dozen catties. Although the surface is a little rough, but at the current level, it is considered very good, anyway, it is to be sold to the Mongols, and it does not need to be so delicate.

Compared with the furnace of this era, the biggest feature of Zhang Ke is the installation of a grate, the so-called grate is a compartment between the furnace and the bottom of the furnace, there is a gap to fall the ashes that have been burned, and it can also enhance air flow and make the combustion more sufficient. There are also two opposite ears on the top of the stove, which can be placed on the grill, which is very convenient and completely in line with Zhang Ke's design.

That's it!

Zhang Ke smiled with satisfaction: "Uncle Liu's craftsmanship didn't say. ”

"Hahaha, put aside the craftsmanship, the key is that your drawings are good, and the drawings are detailed, so you don't have to work hard!" Blacksmith Liu squatted in front of the stove with a smile, pointed to the inside and said: "Especially this stove grate is good, light and flexible, saving more than three catties of iron, the cost has been reduced, the space of the furnace is also large, and the boiling water and cooking are very fast, not to mention that the Mongolians will like it, even the uncle also wants to keep one for his own use." ”

Qiao Fu had long been interested in this stove, and when he heard Blacksmith Liu's words, he even lay on the ground and looked at it again and again.

"Brother Ke, it's hard for you to come up with it, it's clever and convenient, we bring one when we hunt, it's much more convenient!"

Looking at Qiao Fu, who was jumping up and down, dancing with his hands, Qiao Gui coughed: "Second child, I want everything, I don't know how much there is, now it's important to sell for money." ”

"Yes, get the money first. Uncle Liu, let's talk about it, how much has been created? ”

"Hey, hey, boy, just come and see!"

Zhang Ke was also very curious, and followed Blacksmith Liu to the house next to him, where a large kang was piled with stoves, and it seemed that there were more than 20 of them. Qiao Fu suddenly widened his eyes, and asked in horror, "Uncle Liu, did this in three days?" You don't want to trick us, do you? ”

Blacksmith Liu laughed: "It's not me who can do tricks, it's Zhang Erlang!" If my second nephew hadn't asked me to separate the processes, I wouldn't have done it so quickly. The old man is only responsible for boiling molten iron, the eldest makes the mold, the second one fills it, and the third one makes the barbecue rack. Our four were stunned and drove out of half a month's work in three days! With this idea, when I make hoes and sickles in the spring of next year, the uncle can sell more than a dozen of them! ”

The most important thing for craftsmen is craftsmanship, and the division of labor is of course nothing in later generations, but it is definitely a very advanced thing in the Ming Dynasty.

"Second nephew, with your guidance, these stoves will be given to you in vain!"

The father and son of the Liu family are doing themselves a favor, where will Zhang Ke take advantage of them, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Liu, you will have to trouble you in the future, if you give it to me, the next time you make money, the little nephew will have no face to look for you!" ”

Blacksmith Liu was stunned for a moment, and said with emotion: "The second nephew is a kind person, and the uncle wishes you a smooth journey, earn more money and come back, and be so angry!" ”

Everyone laughed and moved the iron stove out, and Liu blacksmith made a total of nineteen furnaces, deducting three with cracks, and sixteen, adding up to more than 100 catties, and a climbing plow would definitely not be able to pull it. can only let the two cars out, the clothes are on Qiao Gui's back, and the dry food and sauce beef are carried by Zhang Ke.

Qiao Fu pouted his ass and pushed the plow, and amid the shouting of people and dogs, this most rudimentary caravan set out on the journey in a chaotic manner.
