Chapter 173: The young lady has something to say

Soon, the scent wafted out.

"Come out, let's eat! Brother Mao, that little brother is also coming to dinner! Don and Rou shouted.

"No, Rou girl, you can eat it yourself, and we'll just eat dry food." Shigeru is still laying out the roof.

The wooden roof has to be covered with several layers of leather and tarpaulin, then brushed with tung oil, placed with special ash, and then erected the planks. In this way, the four layers will not leak and can also prevent termites from gnawing. The upper planks are combined with the lower four walls with mortise and tenon structures to reinforce the overall structure.

When it is to be demolished next year, only one piece of wood needs to be destroyed to destroy the overall mechanical structure. It's so ingenious.

"Brother Mao, let's all eat, your tung oil tastes so big, we can't eat it well. Eat with us! Tang Yourou persuaded, "Only when you are full can you have the strength to work, you don't have to be polite to me in eating!" I know that the reputation of the public loss shop has always been very good, but don't get tired of your body! Today is too late, I ran around the county for a day, and tamed horses for more than an hour, I really don't have the strength to kill chickens. Tomorrow I'll get some rest, and I'll make you some chicken soup. ”

Shigeru just came down.

When Dousha saw him come down, he followed.

There was no room for so many people on the low table, so Tang Yourou found a wooden board and put it on the stone table.

The crowd gathered around it, carrying bowls, and it was rare for them to sit down for a meal, and both carpenters were so hungry that they were so hungry that they were so hungry that they were bitter about it.

Tang Yourou stretched out his hand: "Look." ”

In the palm of the palm are peppercorns, star anise, cinnamon, cloves, and fennel seeds.

Tang Dou'er blinked her eyes, leaned over curiously, and asked, "Is this a spice?" Is it eaten? ”

Tang Yourou smiled and said: "Yes, Chef Liao of Fumanlou gave me one each, and tomorrow I will put a piece of cinnamon and a piece of star anise in the chicken soup." It must have tasted good! ”

Tang Dou'er: "Okay! Chicken soup chicken soup! Bean's favorite chicken soup is the most! ”

Mao hurriedly persuaded her not to break the bank, and received the money.

Tang and Rou naturally did not agree.

Remembering that there was a stone mill to be delivered tomorrow, she compared the size of the small stone mill to the two craftsmen, and the two craftsmen readily agreed, and said that such a stone mill shed could be completed in one hour.

During this period, the young lady kept wanting to speak, but seeing that the atmosphere was so harmonious, she swallowed the knot in her heart.

In the evening, the stables were built, and Tang and Rou spread grass in them, led Se'er in, and tied the ropes.

She smoothed the horse's hair: "Se'er, tomorrow I will go to beat the horse's hooves for you, you are also tired for a day, so take a good rest." Obedient. ”

"Sister, I have something to say." The young lady came to the stable, and she stopped talking.

"Tomorrow, wait for tomorrow......"

Tang and Rou were so sleepy that they were bubbling, went back to their rooms, and fell asleep on the couch.

Tang Youniang sighed and came to the basin.

The house was made of wood, and it must not be lit, and now they could afford to light the lamp oil, and the craftsman told them to put a small bowl in the basin, and the small bowl had the lamp oil on it, and if it was accidentally overturned, it would turn over in the water, and it would not burn the house.

Tang Youniang blew on the basin, and the lamp oil went out.

Following.

"What about the chains of the treasure chest?"

"The chain is kept in place." The young lady took out the iron chain from under the bed, handed it to her, and stopped talking, "Sister, I have something to say." ”

"Can you finish it in less than three sentences?" Tang and Rou haven't been back to the village for a few days, they have a lot of things to do, and they are really busy today.

"Hmm......" Tang Youniang hesitated.

Didn't she want to tell Tang Yourou about Mrs. Wang and the Tang family's coming to grab wood......

When my sister didn't come back, she was only with her younger brother, so naturally she couldn't give her worries to her younger brother. But now that my sister is back, she wants to talk, but she never gets the opportunity.

My sister hasn't asked them if they're okay when she comes home, doesn't she care about them?

"Then I'll wait until I get back."

Tang Yourou looked at her with a strange face, knowing that she had something to say, and it was not impossible to say it in a few words.

I don't think it's too important, I can put it aside for a while and wait for her to come back.

She asked, "By the way, is the scarf made for the fat aunt ready?" ”

"Hmm." Tang Youniang lowered her head and handed her the scarf.

Tang Yourou touched her head: "Don't worry, I'll talk about it when I come back." ”

She put the chains and scarf in her pocket, went to the stable, and led Ser out to the blacksmith's shop.

Tang Youniang looked at her back, a little aggrieved.

Tang Dou'er came over: "Big sister has a horse, so she ignores us?" ”

Tang Youniang felt uncomfortable, but shook her head and said, "No, my sister is very busy." I'll tell her when she gets back. ”

Tang Dou'er pouted: "Hmm! When the time comes, Dou'er will help her sister talk together! ”

Tang Youniang looked at him suspiciously: "What do you want to say?" ”

Tang Dou'er touched her head embarrassedly: "I want to ride that horse, hehehe." ”

Tang Youniang: "......"

……

Blacksmith's House.

The furnace was steaming hot, and the iron clanged.

Tang and Rou led the horse over, which aroused the envy of many people. After a few pleasantries with the blacksmith's family, the other party did not seem to have heard of the horseshoe, so she asked the old blacksmith directly.

"Grandpa, can you give me four horseshoes." Don and Rou led the horses and walked over.

"What is a horseshoe?" The blacksmith's grandfather moved slowly, and his ears were not very good, and he repeated a sentence before he looked at the pony slowly, and asked, "Sounds like a sleeve on a horse's hoof?" ”

There were no horseshoes in this era, and even if there were, the craftsmen in the village should not know much about it.

Tang and Rou explained.

A horseshoe is a metal sleeve under a horse's hoof.

Without this cover, the horse's hooves can easily rot or crack, and if you walk on soft mud for a long time, your nails will twist and deform, adding to strange shapes.

The outer crust of the horseshoe is actually similar to a fingernail, and nails are made on it, so as long as the depth is moderate, it will not cause pain.

The old blacksmith really didn't know what it was, so he asked Tang and Rou to knead the mold with mud by herself, but fortunately she really knew what it was.

When the mold is ready, pour the molten metal water from the iron chain into the mold and pour cold water. The rest was left without bothering the blacksmith, and she took a hammer herself, and struck it beside her, comparing it to the shape of the color's hoof.

Se'er probably smelled the local smell of the village, and was not as irritable as yesterday, and she didn't resist when she loaded the horseshoe.

When paying, Tang Yourou thought that he didn't have much money in his hand, so he casually bargained: "Blacksmith grandfather, the owner of the horse shop said that this pony grows fast, and the horseshoe has to be changed every month, I will find you to change it next time, you can give it cheaper." ”

"Huh. Then you give me 30 wen at a time, and I won't charge you money next time. "The old blacksmith was very talkative, and seemed to like children, and spoke to her slowly.

It only took thirty words!
