Blacksmith Liu stepped into Zhang Ke's house, and the strong smell of medicine irritated his nostrils. Zhang Ke had already climbed up and sat on the kang, the young man's face was a little pale, but his eyebrows were clear, especially his eyes were sufficient, and he was angry and resolute, so he couldn't help but sigh.

"Like, like! Hey, if Brother Zhang is still alive, who would dare to bully you! Blacksmith Liu shook his head painfully.

The popularity of the cheap dad is not bad, Zhang Ke said with a smile: "Uncle Liu, the little nephew has an idea to make money, and he is going to go to the Guangning Horse Market, get some clothes and cloth or something to sell, and exchange the fat sheep from the Tartars, and come and go, at least he can earn back the money he owes!" ”

"Okay, what a great idea!" Blacksmith Liu smiled: "But Guangning is more than one hundred and fifty miles away from us, and the road is too far!" ”

Zhang Ke smiled slightly, one hundred and fifty miles is a great distance now, and in the future generations, it will be a matter of a foot of oil on a high highway.

"Uncle Liu, I can't help it." Zhang Ke smiled: "I suddenly thought of something just now, I don't know if my uncle can help?" ”

"Hey, hey, except for striking iron, I can't figure out anything about business, I'm afraid I won't be able to help!"

"You have to use your uncle's ability to strike iron! You can help me make something, and if it sells for a good price, we'll get three or seven points! ”

Blacksmith Liu scratched his head and said, "Don't say three or seven points, if you can really make money, I can help you pay off your debts, and give me the capital." ”

Zhang Ke glanced at Xiaoxue, asked her to take the pen and ink, grabbed the brush in his hand, Zhang Ke was a little difficult, although he inherited the original memory, it was no problem to write calligraphy, but it was too reluctant to draw with things.

"Xiaoxue, you go to the stove and find a piece of charcoal."

Xiaoxue nodded hurriedly and ran to the stove, there was no such thing as no, and she quickly took out a few red coals from it with a shovel, and then brought a scoop of cold water.

Crash!

Suddenly, a cloud of white gas burst out, dust splashed, and a mushroom cloud rose, and Xiaoxue stuck out her tongue in fright. But the world is big, and Brother Ke is the biggest! Hurriedly grabbed a few pieces of charcoal and ran to Zhang Ke's house.

"Brother Ke, is this okay?"

The girl sent it to Zhang Ke like a treasure, Zhang Ke raised his head suddenly, and couldn't help laughing.

"Brother Ke, isn't it possible, people are too stupid!"

"Hahaha, of course." Zhang Ke took the charcoal with a smile and said in his ear: "Xiaoxue, hurry up and wash it, it's all a flower-faced cat!" ”

The girl was stunned, so ashamed that she hurriedly covered her face, turned around and ran. Behind him, there was the laughter of Blacksmith Liu: "What a good girl!" ”

In front of the basin, peeking through his fingers, his delicate face was covered with dust and charcoal, a little black, and a little gray, just like a little beggar.

"Ugly dead, ugly dead! It's a joke for Brother Ke again! The girl hurriedly held the water and washed off the dust, but she was still not at ease, so she ran to the mirror and looked left and right, for fear of a little flaw.

Just when the girl was looking forward to self-pity, Zhang Ke had already drawn a three-dimensional picture with charcoal, which was not a mysterious thing, but the most common furnace in later generations.

Although Blacksmith Liu was illiterate, his drawings were too realistic, which immediately attracted his attention.

"This, this thing is a stove, right?"

"Uncle Liu has good eyesight!"

Blacksmith Liu frowned suddenly, and couldn't help but say: "Although the iron stove is smaller than the stove, the price is also expensive, I'm afraid no one will buy it." ”

"Uncle Liu, this may be right for the Han people, but the Mongols are different!"

"What's the matter?"

"If you think about it, the Mongolians live by water and grass, they must not be able to go everywhere to build a stove, if there is such a stove, can be loaded and taken away at any time, how convenient will it be? See, this hearth is not too big, as long as you can put a piece of dry cow dung in it, one or two pieces of cow dung can make a meal. And give them an iron rack that can be loaded and unloaded, and barbecue meat on it, will the Mongols buy it? ”

The kind of stove that Zhang Ke said can still be seen in the stalls such as roasted corn in later generations, which is usually to the extreme, but at the moment, it is amazing, that is, it can barbecue meat and cook, which is really considerate.

Blacksmith Liu nodded again and again: "Okay, it's really good, this thing will definitely be sold for money, Uncle will go back and do it." ”

"Slow!" Zhang Ke said: "Uncle Liu, I plan to go to Guangning within three days, how much can you do in these three days?" ”

"It's going to be hard!" Blacksmith Liu was suddenly worried, and said with a bitter face: "Such a furnace, let alone ten catties of iron, the cost is not less than one or two silver, the iron family has it, but the kung fu may not be able to catch up, I estimate that I may not be able to make one in three days, if I let those boys in my family help, maybe I can drive out two or three." ”

Zhang Ke also made a mistake when he heard it, although he was not going to do any big business, but two or three were not much stronger than mosquito meat!

His eyes rolled, how could he make more?

That's right!

How can you forget even the most basic common sense! Zhang Ke couldn't wait to slap himself in the mouth.

"Uncle Liu, I have a way to make more furnaces, you listen to me, separate the process, and a few brothers are responsible for it, and finally combine it to ensure that it can be much faster, and it will not be a problem to drive out ten furnaces."

It's as simple as that?

Blacksmith Liu's face was full of questions, and he couldn't help but say, "Can it work?" The children's craftsmanship is not good, I'm afraid it's ......."

"It's okay, Uncle Liu, you have set the specifications, the most difficult thing is that you always come in person. Don't be too elaborate, just about the same! Build ten stoves, let alone sell three taels of one, deduct the cost, you can earn two taels, according to seventy percent, you can get fourteen taels! ”

"How much?" Blacksmith Liu's eyes widened suddenly, he may not be able to earn so much with a hoe and pickaxe for a year, and a simple ten stoves can be exchanged for fourteen taels?

"This, can this money be earned so easily?"

"Hahaha, Uncle Liu, you just put a hundred hearts, fourteen taels is nothing, we will earn thousands of silver in the future, wait for the wealth!"

Blacksmith Liu clutched the drawings, his muscles trembled, and his goatee jumped back and forth.

"Uncle will listen to you once, and then go to work."

……

Three days is not a long time, but it is not a short time.

The injuries on Zhang Ke's body are almost healed, and I don't know if it is because his physique has increased after the crossing, or if Zhou Langzhong's medicine has a miraculous effect, in short, the bruises have subsided, and the wounds under the ribs have also scabbed, and the flesh inside is itchy. Maybe you can get a full recovery after three or five days of rest, but now is not the time to rest.

Zhang Ke got up early, the old lady and Xiaoxue were busy with breakfast, and a fragrance came in along the crack in the door.

Squeak, the door gently pushed open, and a small head poked in.

"Second brother, are you up?"

Zhang Ke saw that it was his sister Hui'er, and suddenly smiled: "The sun is coming out of the west, why don't you sleep more little lazy pig?" ”

"Don't say that people are lazy pigs, are there such cute pigs?" The little girl pursed her lips and stared at Zhang Ke angrily, and two cold little hands ran towards his neck.

"The second brother has surrendered." Zhang Ke smiled: "You come here to make sure there is something, hurry up and talk about it, otherwise the second brother will continue to sleep!" ”

"Hmph, you're a lazy pig!" Hui'er said disdainfully in her heart.

She secretly leaned on Zhang Ke's ear and whispered: "Second brother, my mother bought a lot of meat yesterday, such a big piece, there are dozens of catties!" ”

The little girl drew with her hands, and countless little stars appeared in front of her, peeked at Zhang Ke, lowered her head again, and murmured as thin as a mosquito: "People, people, also want to eat a little, just one piece." ”

Hui'er said tremblingly, as if she had made a big mistake. During this time, Zhang Ke had been sick, and Shen also tried his best to buy some meat and eggs, but they were all given to Zhang Ke. Hui'er is also very sensible, and eats sticky cakes and dried cabbage with the Shen family every day.

The little girl knew that the second brother wanted to nourish her body, so she secretly swallowed saliva every time, but this time the old lady bought too much meat, and the aroma of the boiled meat drilled into her nose, and the little girl's gluttony was all hooked, so she ran over timidly and made a request with courage.

What is it for a child to eat some meat! But now the family has to revolve around Zhang Ke, this humble request seems to be a bit excessive, Hui'er is like a child who has done something wrong, rubbing her clothes.

Seeing this, Zhang Ke suddenly had a sour nose, this is his own sister!

"Let's go, let's eat meat with the second brother!"

Zhang Ke pulled Hui'er and strode to the front of the stove. It just so happened that Shen Shi and Xiaoxue were not there, Zhang Ke opened the cauldron, the white air was billowing, a large piece of meat was tumbling up and down, and a layer of beautiful oil flowers on the water surface.

Grunt, Hui'er couldn't help swallowing her saliva, Zhang Ke held chopsticks in one hand to fork the piece of meat, and in the other hand held the kitchen knife, and cut down the good meat with more than two catties of fat and thin.

"Hui'er, go get a bowl and come over, let's eat it with soy sauce!"

"Hey!" The little girl brought over the big bowl, Zhang Ke also cut the meat into small strips of finger thickness, no garlic, simply grabbed a few dried chili peppers, put them in the stove and burned them, and then kneaded them into soy sauce.

Succeed with flying colors!

The brother and sister grabbed the meat strips, dipped them in soy sauce, and ate them in a big gulp, Hui'er don't look at the small people, the stomach is not small, and the small half bowl of meat disappeared in a blink of an eye. While they were happily eating, the door suddenly opened, and Shen and Xiaoxue came in one after the other.

Looking at the two brothers and sisters squatting on the stove, Shen's eyes suddenly widened: "Little ancestor, this is for your brother and they to go to Guangning, why are they all eaten!" ”

Hearing the old lady's blame, Zhang Hui'er was suddenly scared, her cheeks were bulging, she couldn't swallow a mouthful of meat, she couldn't swallow it, she could only look at Zhang Ke pitifully.

Zhang Ke said with a smile: "Mother, I've been suffering for so long, when I come back from Guangning, we will have a good life, even if you enjoy it in advance, don't worry about it!" ”

Zhang Ke touched his sister's head dotingly, Hui'er showed a big smile, swallowed the meat beautifully, and surged sweetness from her heart.

"Alas, you haven't had a good life yet, just thinking about eating and drinking, you, you must be a loser!" Shen didn't follow it, but in fact he acquiesced.

"Mother, don't worry, my son won't let you down!" Zhang Ke smiled: "I'm afraid this meat is more than ten catties, I can't eat it on the road, let's eat it together!" ”

Zhang Ke was about to cut the meat again, but Shen grabbed him, bluffed and said: "The poor family is rich, it is right to bring more food on the road, I pondered and took out three coins of the silver sent by Brother Liu, and finally bought ten catties of beef and fifteen catties of pork." The beef was brought to Li Sima's next door, and she is famous for making sauced beef. ”

Saying that, Shen took an oiled paper bag from Xiaoxue's hand, and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of breaking it on a cold day, let's eat it on the road." ”

A heavy bag, Zhang Ke couldn't help but think of when he was in college, whenever his classmates brought bags of specialty snacks from home, he was secretly sad, and finally he could enjoy it himself!

Home, loved ones, the taste of happiness......

Zhang Ke was full of energy, "Mother, we will definitely be able to pass this hurdle, we will definitely be able to!" ”

Looking at his son's resolute gaze, Shen nodded with tears in his eyes.

……

"Brother Ke, come out soon, see how we are prepared?"

It's Joeau!

Zhang Ke hurriedly stood up, and when he arrived in the courtyard, he saw Qiao Gui and Qiao Fu dressed like blind bears, and behind them there were two large wooden climbing plows, and next to the climbing plows were two big yellow dogs with their heads and tails majestic, sticking out their long tongues.

"That's all you have prepared, there's no horse, so you're going to get a cow!"

"Why are there no cows!" Qiao Fu pointed at Zhang Ke, then at Qiao Gui, and said with a smile: "Aren't we just that!" ”

Qiao Gui was also embarrassed, scratched his head and said: "We also want to borrow an ox cart and a carriage, but we all need a deposit, anyway, I and the second child have the strength, let's pull, maybe, should, maybe it's okay!" ”
