Fang Xiaoxiao smiled and sent the ingots in his hand to the hands of the four of them, and his tone was sincere.

"It's not easy for everyone, take a meal and drink, count me in."

That's a kickback.

The NPC had taken the money before, but no one would feel that the money was hot, and seeing that he had money again, his hands and feet were also very sharp, so he hurriedly squeezed away the person standing in front of him, and reached out and took his share.

"You're welcome, girl, you're really polite."

The NPC picked up Lisuo, and although the remaining three felt uncomfortable, they still took the money, and their expressions looked a lot better with the naked eye.

Fang Xiaoxiao watched them put the silver back on the ox cart little by little, and counted it several times while carrying it back, and when it was confirmed, they put the straw back on the pile, and then drove the ox cart into the night.

The blacksmith stood beside Fang Xiaoxiao and watched the ox cart leave, and only after he was sure that they had gone far enough could not hear their conversation, the blacksmith's expression changed.

"Xiaoxiao, who are they?"

Fang Xiaoxiao looked back at the blacksmith, who was still clutching a complete piece of iron in his hand, looking apprehensive and happy.

This is also normal.

He was the blacksmith of their village and had worked with all kinds of minerals all his life.

At this point, the village has been established, but after all, they are new, they are not familiar with the place, the foundation is very shallow, and many things have to be done slowly.

Here, the jurisdiction over the purchase of ironware is not strict, but the bulk purchase is not possible, which also leads to the shortage of finished ironware in Maixiang Village, and there is no iron ore or anything.

The idea of the people in the village is to wait for the old village chief to come back and think of a way to see if it is a gift to anyone.

But unexpectedly, Fang Xiaoxiao actually found the way first.

It's just that there are a lot of blacksmiths, although Xinxi has such a batch of iron ingots, and his blacksmith shop can also be officially opened.

But that group of people is obviously not the right way, they are sneaky, and the price given by Fang Xiaoxiao is not right.

The blacksmith was worried that something would happen, but Fang Xiaoxiao was very calm.

"When the water is clear, there are no fish, uncle, don't worry, even if something really happens, we can't be blamed."

When the blacksmith heard this, he guessed that eighty percent of the men who bought the iron were in charge of the shopkeeper and the like, who had saved such a batch of goods and secretly sold them for money.

If that's the case, then there's really no need to worry, after all, even if this kind of thing is really found out, they can't be blamed.

Moreover, if they can have a good relationship with this kind of person, it will be easier for them to buy iron ingots through regular channels in the future, and the blacksmith will be relieved at the moment.

"That's good, it's still a little powerful, and you have the ability!"

Fang Xiaoxiao smiled and reached out to help the blacksmith clean up the iron ingots in this place.

"Uncle, it's okay to have me here, you go back to the village first and ask someone to collect it together."

The blacksmith nodded, took a few iron ingots, and returned to the village.

Fang Xiaoxiao stayed here and stacked the iron ingots one by one, but his mind was not on this.

She had only told the blacksmith before that it was just to appease his heart, and she wasn't so sure about the twists and turns.

At first, Fang Xiaoxiao also had the same guess as the blacksmith, after all, the NPC looked very slippery, not like an ordinary villager, but more like a veteran who was used to doing this kind of thing.

Therefore, at first, Fang Xiaoxiao guessed that his batch of iron ingots was stolen by the little mice of the family or the official family.

It's just that when she saw someone else, she was a little unsure.

I don't know if she thought about it too much, but when she was trading, she suddenly remembered what Li Yulan said before.

She said that many villages became desperate villages and then occupied by refugees who had fled.

What kind of conscription, so many people will die?

And this kind of thing is still covered up without leakage, obviously a lot of thought has been put into it.

So, what exactly did that prefectural order do in private?

She looked at the ingot in her hand.

The weight of this iron ingot is not light, it is very pressing in the hand, and the block is also very large, dusty, and the surface is not very smooth.

Looking back and forth, she didn't see any marks on the ingot.

And, the most suspicious thing is that the weight of these ingots is not the same

Although they all look similar, the amount of weight is very different when you start it, and the shape is thick and flat, so it doesn't look like it was made out of a mold.

Is such an iron ingot really flowing out of the hands of an official family or a family?

Fang Xiaoxiao was a little suspicious, but she didn't think about it deeply.

It's useless to think too much, iron is a very important resource for a novice village.

Now their village has not accepted new players, but Fang Xiaoxiao feels that it is also fast, after all, most of the previous batch of players have been mixed into the city at this time, and only a handful of them are still in the village, and gradually the village has become empty, it is time to introduce a new batch of players.

It's just that their village is still too simple, whether it is the blacksmith, the medicine shop, or the tailor shop, in Fang Xiaoxiao's eyes, it is not enough to stimulate players to consume more.

For the village, although the player is a group of troublemakers, it can also drive the development of the village to a large extent, at least the economy, with the purchasing power of the player, it is enough to make the old and young in the village eat and drink spicy food for a lifetime.

However, there is a premise for this, and the premise is that their village must be able to get their hands on the finished product.

It's okay to say something about the tailor's side, and the rabbit skin suit is a good start.

After that, there was the blacksmith's shop.

Fang Xiaoxiao had plans in his heart, his mind was far away, and all he was thinking about was making copies, making drawings and the like.

It wasn't until a jumble of footsteps came that her thoughts were pulled back.

It was the people of the village who had been found by the blacksmith, and everyone saw the piles of iron piled up from a distance, and they walked quickly one by one, with happy smiles on their faces.

"Oh, so many iron ingots, Xiaoxiao can really leave."

"Xiaoxiao, so many iron ingots, there must be no price. Don't be afraid, wait for the old village chief to come back and let him reimburse you. ”

"What do you want to eat today, my aunt will make it for you, Xiaoxiao, you are so capable."

"Little little little how did you get it, where did you buy these iron ingots? You're going to have to talk to us. ”

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that yet, let's get these irons back quickly." Other villagers chattered around Fang Xiaoxiao and asked, and by the way, they touched the iron ingot to see the strangeness.

The blacksmith was in a hurry.

Although the iron ingot had been bought by them, it had not been shipped to the shop, and he was still a little worried.

Seeing that the blacksmith was in a hurry, the other villagers hurriedly got to work, each took a stack, and quickly divided it.

When it was Fang Xiaoxiao's turn, there was no longer a piece here, and she was also happy to be relaxed, but when she walked back, she couldn't help but ask.

"Avoid a little people, but don't be seen."
