After a while, Wen Shu came out of the room, holding two fruits with a bumpy appearance in his hands.

"Crunch, crunch." The sound of sawing wood came from the shop in front of her, and she smiled, went to the well to fetch a basin of water and washed the fruit briefly, and then went to the front with it.

"Dad, you're tired, take a rest and eat some fruit."

Looking at the bright red fruit stretched out in front of him, Wen Tai was stunned, and then his heart sank, and he straightened up and said, "Where did you come from?" ’

"It was given by Lord Lu."

"Lord Lu?"

"Well, it's the one who owes him fifty times, the one you said knew how to repay it."

Wentai looked at her twice: "Why did he give you fruit, have you seen him?" ”

Wen Shu nodded, thinking that she couldn't hide the fact that she was going to Cangzhou after the year, so she truthfully told the cause and effect of this matter, but the matter of the protection contract was hidden by her, and she only said that the eldest girl of the Lu family took a fancy to her cooking skills and wanted her to accompany her to Cangzhou to solve the problem of eating on the road.

"Cangzhou belongs to Hejian Mansion, and it is far away from Feng, so why don't you agree to such a big matter without discussing it with me." Wentai was a little angry.

Wen Shu suddenly sneered: "That, I heard Lord Lu say at the time, as long as you serve Miss Lu well and let her eat and drink well all the way, I don't have to pay back the fifty guan I owe, and I forgot it as soon as I was happy." ”

Wen Tai sighed again and again, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was wrong, and looked at her suspiciously: "The Hou family has a big business, and naturally there is no shortage of cooks, so why does Miss Lu want you to go with you?" ”

In the end, it is an elderly person, and the problem is more profound.

Fortunately, Wen Shu thought of an excuse early, and said unhurriedly at this time: "That's naturally because my cooking skills are different, Dad, you don't know, that Miss Lu has a very strange taste, she actually likes to eat my self-created curling soup, don't you think it's weird?" ”

Don't look at the elegance of the name 'curling soup', but in fact, it is a failed dish that ten people eat and nine people have to say a bad word, which was made by Wen Shu on a whim by chance, and the main ingredients are red dates and eggs.

It is said that these two ingredients will not be unpalatable if they are put together, and Wen Shu didn't know what to think at that time, so he actually added garlic to it, saying that he could see if he could create a different taste, and in the end, the different taste was indeed there, but it was ........

"Really?" Wentai squinted at her.

"Really." Wen Shu nodded like pounding garlic: "I didn't understand it at first, but later I found out that the girl Lu had a bad spleen and stomach since she was a child, and she was very picky when she ate. ”

Seeing that she expressed herself fluently without the slightest stumbling, Wentai accepted his suspicions but was still a little worried: "But it's been too long, it's been half a month, and it's better to go .......to other places."

"Dad, don't worry, there is absolutely no problem in terms of safety, you think, then the daughter of the Hou Mansion can go far away, I heard that there are 180 people in the escort team alone, and there are many maids and women serving along the way, I am responsible for cooking, the work is very easy, and along the way, maybe you can touch the light of the Lu family girl, eat some good food."

Wen Tai looked at her quietly for a moment, then turned his gaze back to the fruit in his hand and asked, "What is the name of this fruit, why haven't you seen it before?"

"Oh, I heard that it was from Tubo, it seems to be called Huaiguo." Wen Shu's eyes rolled, and he gave Guozi an identity.

Wentai didn't bother with the name, nodded and picked up the fruit and took a bite, only feeling crisp and sweet.

Wen Shu saw that his father had eaten it and knew that he had passed the pass, and his heart was relieved, and he also ate the fruit, which tasted similar to a pear, sweet and crisp, bright red as vermilion on the surface, but faint pink on the inside, and the juice was quite sufficient, but it was a little cold to eat in winter.

In the morning, after lunch, Wen Tai was still busy in the shop, Wen Shu thought about it, went back to the room and took a piece of cloth to wrap the iron box, and quietly went to the blacksmith shop.

After hearing this, the shopkeeper of the blacksmith shop looked at the iron box again and said that it could be beaten, but because the carved patterns on it were a bit complicated, it would take some time, and it was best to put the sample in their shop, so that it could be observed from time to time, and it could be made more realistic.

Wen Shu refused the proposal of the blacksmith shopkeeper, she didn't feel at ease to put the box here, what if she accidentally lost it, she still had to make a fortune with this!

After thinking about it, she told the shopkeeper that they should first type out the general outline of the iron box, and as for the carved wisps on it, she would bring something over every day for an hour, and then they would compare the carvings.

The customer comes first, Wen Shu said so, what else can the blacksmith shop shopkeeper say, nodded at the moment, and asked her to pay some deposit first.

Wen Shu knew this rule, so he asked how much was the full price?

However, the price quoted by the shopkeeper frightened her.

"What! Two through money! It costs two times to hit this iron box! ”

The shopkeeper of the blacksmith shop hurriedly explained: "If it is an ordinary iron box, it is not so much, but the little lady has a complicated pattern on the iron box, which tests the carving master, and you are in a hurry, so in this two money, it has always been the hard money for the carver, and I will earn a hard money for iron." ”

Wen Shucai didn't believe this nonsense, but she was in a hurry to get a fake to go back to stabilize her father, so she didn't want to waste time asking everywhere, and it was a fact that the iron box had a complicated pattern, and the shopkeeper's words were not completely coaxing her.

It's just two times more money, she really thinks it's more!

After thinking about it, she bargained with the shopkeeper, and wanted to press the price to the usual 800 Wen, but the shopkeeper was also a shrewd person, and the two of them went back and forth, and finally each took a step back and made a deal with the consistent 900 Wen.

Wen Shu paid 20% of the full price, 190 wen as a deposit, and left the blacksmith shop with the box.

It's just that these two extra money are out of thin air, so Huaimuguo can't help but sell it, because if she doesn't sell it, she won't have the money to pay this account, and she can't tell her father, otherwise what's the point of her hitting the iron box.

The next day, Wen Shu went to the alley in front of Xiao Cha Lane to meet Lu Xi as promised, knowing that she wanted to learn martial arts, so she deliberately wore a coarse cotton coat today, and her hair was also manly, all of which were tied up and tied on top of her head, and tied with a light blue cloth towel.

Lu Xi was a little flurry when he first saw her, obviously he didn't expect her to be so smart, originally he thought that he would pass by the ready-to-wear store to buy her men's clothes later, but he didn't expect that before they could say anything, she was already ready for herself.

It's strange that Gongzi wants to send her to protect the eldest girl, and it really makes sense.
