At the corner of the bustling street, an ox cart is slowly passing by.

At this time, Zhao Fuxiang and Zhao Shanlin each held a meat bun in their hands, and stuffed it into their mouths one bite after another, this was the breakfast for the two, and Li Shi saw that the two were hungry, so he deliberately got out of the car to buy it for the two.

"What are we not buying at the moment?"

Li's gaze skimmed over the street crossings on both sides of the surrounding area, and took the time to ask Zhao Fuxiang, who was sitting next to the wheel.

Zhao Fuxiang listened, quickly swallowed the meat filling in his mouth, and thought for a while, "If you have enough food at home, you don't need to buy it, the cloth is enough, and the rest of the cloth can be made into good clothes by one person,"

"Well, it's just a blacksmith shop, and I have brought all the farm tools at home, and I have to take them to repair them."

Now that the time is getting tighter and tighter, and there is not much left before the summer harvest, in order not to delay the summer harvest, they should also prepare as soon as possible.

Therefore, before the summer harvest, all the farm tools used for the summer harvest at home must be repaired.

"Well, that's right," Li nodded, and felt that the farm tools had to be grasped.

"By the way, there is also an iron pot at home, which is used for cooking, and now it is also necessary to use herbs, so it is not enough, so buy a big one."

At that time, she was also completely liberated, one was used for concocting herbs, and the other was cooking, and it was good not to interfere with each other.

If it was in the past, Li would not have mentioned the idea of buying an iron pot, because iron is very expensive, and the price of an all-iron product such as an iron pot is naturally more expensive.

But now they rely on fish balls and shrimp paste to buy and sell, and they just got five hundred taels.

Such a huge sum of money is enough for them to spend for a long time.

Li was in a trance, and it seemed that buying a big iron pot right now was just a trivial matter.

Zhao Fuxiang nodded, "Okay, you can buy a big iron pot,"

"What is missing in the family right now? I bought them all this time. ”

Zhao Fuxiang was also not entangled, and his words were full of atmosphere.

It can be seen that the five hundred taels of silver did give them a lot of confidence.

Li tapped his fingers, remembered what was still missing at home, pondered for a moment, and said quickly.

Finally, Li mentioned the other three children in the city, "By the way, go to the private school and the carpenter shop again,"

"Little four, little five, and hairy eggs, they are all in the city, let's take a look, make up some money, don't bother them."

With money, the Li family can do more things, and now it is understandable that he wants to take care of more children in the family.

Whether it is Zhao Shanxing or Zhao Shanyu, or Zhao Mingwei, in Zhao Fuxiang's heart, it is an important family.

Now that they have money and want to make their family better, Zhao Fuxiang naturally will not refuse.

"Okay, when you're done, I'll go see them."

……

The bullock cart stopped in front of the pork shop.

Li got out of the car and spent nearly a penny to buy pork, pork bones and lard, a weight of dozens of catties, and let Zhao Shanlin carry it directly on the ox cart.

Then, the ox cart stopped at the spice shop, and Li spent a few more dollars to buy a few jars of salt, soy sauce, and millet vinegar commonly used at home.

Of course, in addition, under Zhao Yu's pain, the Li family bought some condiments such as bay leaves, peppercorns, star anise, and spices that were said to come from the south, as well as a small half jar of spicy ingredients and chili noodles.

These things from the south are precious, and Li Shi felt distressed when he came out of the spice shop, and he didn't recover for a long time.

This is not over, Zhao Yu also asked her grandmother to make a jar of multigrain wine for her grandfather in the winery.

Country men, after their daily farm work in the field, will think of resting more.

Among them, most of the men are good at that sip of cigarettes and alcohol.

It's just that the price of tobacco and alcohol is too expensive, and they can't afford it, so Zhao Fuxiang usually doesn't buy it much.

At the moment, I bought them together.

The oxcart quartet, mainly Lee, almost went all the way to buy.

In short, as long as she can think of it, there is exactly what is lacking at home, and this time, she has made up for it all.

I just got thirty-two taels of loose silver from selling shrimp paste, and I have already spent all my money.

Fortunately, Zhao Fuxiang exchanged fifty taels when he passed by Tongsheng Qian Zhuang before, so that Li could continue to buy, buy, buy, buy.

Turned a street and bypassed a few more alleys.

The four of them finally arrived at the only blacksmith shop in the city when the ox cart was full.

The blacksmith shop is located in a residential area in the south of the city.

The resident here is a blacksmith, and he directly used the front gatehouse of the family to change the shop, and there is no sign, but this person has been working for a long time, and everyone around knows about it.

Park the ox cart, Zhao Shanlin went in one step ahead of Zhao Fuxiang to call someone.

The straw mat curtain in front of the door was lifted, revealing the empty room.

Except for some ironwork hanging on either side of the wall, there was no one around.

Zhao Shanlin didn't stop, after looking around, he ran around the hall and went to the back hall to call someone.

Zhao Fuxiang, who was one step behind, was waiting in the hall.

Li stood behind Zhao Fuxiang and pulled Zhao Yu with one hand to prevent him from moving.

Zhao Yu was rolling his eyes and looking around the room restlessly.

After a general look, Zhao Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, not to mention, it looked tattered on the outside, but he didn't expect that there were a lot of iron products inside.

The most common iron pots, which are available in large, medium and small models, are arranged in a row and hung on the wall.

In addition, there are shovels, sickles, axes, shovels, pickaxes, hammers and other iron utensils commonly used in the home on the ground.

Of course, in addition to this, there are several round rumbling iron bumps in the hall.

It's like an oven in her head, and Zhao Yu doesn't know what it's doing.

After only two glances, he withdrew his gaze without interest.

At this time, there was the sound of footsteps ahead.

Zhao Shanlin once again appeared in the sight of the three of them.

Behind him, followed by a middle-aged man who looked as black and strong as an iron tower.

The strong man has dark trousers on the bottom, and only a short shirt on the upper body, revealing two muscular arms.

The face of the Chinese character, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, the eyes are very dark and bright.

Zhao Yuxin said, this is a man!

The strong man quickly glanced at the people in the hall, looked at Zhao Fuxiang, and asked what the other party wanted.

Zhao Fuxiang pointed to the farm tools on his back and said that he wanted to repair them.

Hearing this, the strong man raised his eyebrows, "I need to check." ”

The price of repairing farm tools is based on the degree of damage to the farm tools.

It's impossible not to know this, as an old man who has to come over to repair farm tools all year round.

Zhao Fuxiang nodded in agreement.

The strong man carried the basket to his side, took them out one by one to check, and finally gave Zhao Fuxiang an offer, "To repair, you need three catties of iron, a total of four hundred and fifty wen." ”

This is also because it is a regular customer, and the strong man deliberately gives a cheap price.

Zhao Fuxiang nodded, "How many days do we need to come and get it?" ”

"Hmm," the strong man pondered for a moment, "in seven days." ”

Zhao Fuxiang looked at Zhao Shanlin, and Zhao Shanlin hurriedly nodded and wrote it down.

After talking about repairing farm tools, Zhao Fuxiang spoke again, wanting to buy a pot.

The strong man stretched out his hand and pointed to the wall, "You can go and see for yourself, the price has not changed." ”

"However, the biggest one was specially made by someone, and then the person didn't want it, so he stayed in the shop,"

"The largest ordinary iron pot is three feet, and it costs 1,100 yuan, this, three feet and five inches, 1,500 yuan, no bargaining."

After saying this, the strong man once again looked down at the broken farm tool in his hand.

Zhao Fuxiang and Li looked at the iron pot that was said to be the largest.

This iron pot is indeed very large, and the pot body is thick, buy it back, at least for a few years without changing the pot.

Li was a little moved.

Although it is 400 Wen more expensive, this pot is definitely worth the price.

Li's eyes gestured to Zhao Fuxiang, and when Zhao Fuxiang saw it, he nodded quietly.

Then he turned around and said to the strong man on the side, "That's it, in addition, we have to buy two sickles, three iron axes, and two shovels,"

"By the way, we're going to have to buy some extra wire."

The strong man nodded, walked over quickly to remove the iron pot from the wall, and then took everything Zhao Fuxiang wanted.

Iron pot, 1500 money, iron axe, 150 money, shovel, 120 money, sickle, 80 money, fine wire, 100 money.

After calculating the price, these objects totaled four hundred and fifty dollars.
