Not long after Li Yi left, the He family and the others returned.

Gu Jinxiu told He about receiving two cooperation orders.

When they learned about it, they were very happy, and now they didn't have to set up stalls.

Then, Gu Jinxiu asked He to take Gao's mother and daughter to buy ingredients for making mugwort baba.

And she went to find Li Goudan.

Although Gu Qingyun is hateful, the villagers are innocent!

The north of the city is mixed, and the land price is cheap.

Li Goudan bought a shop here and opened a grocery store.

The family moved to the backyard of the grocery store.

Now that it is spring ploughing, in order to avoid debts, Li Goudan and his family have not returned to the village to farm.

Gu Jinxiu learned the specific location of Li Goudan's shop from Gu Qingyun.

According to the route described by Gu Qingyun, when he came to the shop of Li Goudan's house, he saw that the door of the shop was closed, and the front was occupied by small vendors.

Is she in the wrong place?

Gu Jinxiu stepped forward and asked, "Little brother, is this shop behind you Li Goudan?" ”

The little vendor raised his eyes to look at Gu Jinxiu, thinking that he would answer this person's question, then this person should buy the vegetables he hadn't sold all morning!

So, he smiled and said: "This is Shopkeeper Li's shop, but it hasn't been open for many days, and you are also here to ask him for debts?" ”

Gu Jinxiu inquired: "There are many people who come to collect debts from him? ”

"But there is only one person who has come here in the past two days." The vendor changed the subject and said, "Childe, do you want some vegetables?" ”

Gu Jinxiu glanced at the wilted greens with many insect eyes and shook his head.

The small vendor was very dissatisfied, and he was really stingy when he answered so many questions from this person, and he didn't buy a handful of vegetables, and drove people away: "If you don't buy it, don't do business in front of me anymore, I don't have the time to talk to you here." ”

Gu Jinxiu, who was driven away, shook her head slightly, went to the shop next door to inquire about Li Goudan's situation, and learned that Li Goudan went out early in the morning every day and went home drunk at night.

His wife couldn't stand him like this, so she took her son back to her parents' house.

Gu Jinxiu thought that she couldn't come in vain, so she went around to the back door of the shop.

She found that the door was not locked, knocked on it, and when no one came to open it, she pushed the door again, and found that it was bolted from the inside.

Searching the surroundings, Gu Jinxiu climbed on the firewood stack, stood on the firewood stack and leaned on the wall, looking at the situation inside.

The yard was in a mess, as if no one had cleaned it up for a long time.

Suddenly, there was a voice behind him: "Hey, what do you want to do?" ”

Gu Jinxiu, who was taken aback, patted her chest, and then jumped off the firewood stack, looked at the bearded and dirty man in front of her, and remembered for a long time - isn't this person Li Goudan!

At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the sour smell emitted by Li Goudan wafted over, making Gu Jinxiu nauseous, and she couldn't bear the discomfort in her heart, she shouted tentatively: "Li Goudan? ”

Before she could express her intentions, she was interrupted by Li Goudan.

"Who are you?"

Li Goudan said arrogantly: "If I come to collect debts, I have no money." ”

In these years, those who owe money are more arrogant than those who collect debts, this is simply true!

Gu Jinxiu said with a solemn face: "Li Goudan, you can see clearly, I am the village head, and today I will ask you to collect debts on behalf of the villagers." ”

"Oh."

Li Goudan tilted his head, looked at Gu Jinxiu with half-squinted eyes, and said with a scoundrel face: "I don't have any money." ”

Gu Jinxiu really wanted to give Li Goudan a big roll of his eyes, and said angrily: "Now that the two patriarchs have helped you pay back thirty taels, you just need to pay back twenty taels!" ”

She won't help Gu Qingyun and Patriarch Li collect debts, this is their affair with Li Dogan, let them ink!

"Twenty taels?"

Li Goudan didn't seem to believe it, and asked again: "I only need to pay back twenty taels?" ”

Gu Jinxiu nodded, as for the thirty taels, it was not her business, and said, "I was entrusted by the villagers to ask you for twenty taels of debt. ”

As long as fifty taels are repaid and the debt is reduced, Li Goudan is just a moment of joy.

When he thought that there were still twenty taels of debt, his joy was gone.

Wouldn't it be great if the twenty taels didn't have to be returned!

Thinking about it, Li Goudan decided to delay again.

Although I don't know how the debt of thirty taels was solved, since the debt of thirty taels can be saved, and now he relies on not paying the money, then these twenty taels can not be relied on!

Li Goudan, who had made up his mind, said with a flattering smile: "Although the village chief only has a debt of twenty taels, it is still a huge amount of money for me now, otherwise you give me three days to make it up." "Three days after three days, it is best to delay and delay, and it becomes a bad debt!

Gu Jinxiu frowned slightly, she was new to the village, and the original owner didn't walk around the village much, and she was not very familiar with Li Goudan, could this person believe it?

Looking at Li Goudan like this, it is impossible to get him to come up with money now.

In the end, Gu Jinxiu decided to give Li Goudan three days.

Leaving Li Goudan's shop, Gu Jinxiu came to the blacksmith shop.

In the humble shop, men in their mid-fifties hold tongs in their left hand to turn over iron, and in their right hand hold a small hammer while directing men in their twenties to beat iron tools in their shirtless and dark-skinned manner.

The man carried a hammer and pounded the iron on the anvil, and from time to time there was a string of clanging sounds.

He carried the iron tool and put it aside in the sink, and there was a "sting" sound, and a puff of green smoke came out.

After quenching, he picked up the iron and continued to hammer it.

A bellows was set up next to the oven, and a boy in his teens squatted in front of the bellows, pulling the bellows.

The wind enters the furnace, and the flames in the hearth rise.

Men in their mid-thirties stood in the corner of the shop, talking to people who came to repair farm tools or buy iron tools.

Gu Jinxiu blinked her eyes and looked at all this curiously.

It wasn't until someone asked her what she said that she came back to her senses, Gu Jinxiu looked at the man and said, "Uncle, I'm here to make a set of farm tools, can you see if this can be built?" ”

As she spoke, she pulled out a drawing from her sleeve.

The man took the drawing, unfolded it, and his eyes lit up at the new farm tool, and said, "I can build this, but it will take three or four days." ”

Gu Jinxiu nodded.

She is not in a hurry, there is still more than a month before the seedlings go to the field, and the time is quite sufficient for her.

The man touched his head honestly and asked embarrassedly, "Can I ask what this is?" ”

Gu Jinxiu pointed to the pattern and said, "This plow rake has the same function as the plowshare. This wide-tipped shovel is used for weeding, and this hoe is used for reclamation......"

The agricultural tools of Dongxuan Kingdom are not diversified, that is, a single hoe to cultivate, sickle to weed, and plow to plough the land.

Listening to Gu Jinxiu's words, the man's mouth was paused.

A gleam flashed in the man's eyes, and he asked after discussion: "I'll give you this set of farm tools for free, Childe, do you think I can build it and sell it?" ”

Hearing this, Gu Jinxiu nodded, in fact, this can't make any money, as long as this set of farm tools comes out, after a while, other blacksmith shops can also be built.

What Gu Jinxiu didn't know was that although he couldn't make any money, it could improve the reputation of the blacksmith shop!

The two discussed it properly, and Gu Jinxiu left.
