Ziyou counted the time and estimated that it was almost over.

Carrying a few saplings, he walked to the blacksmith's shop.

On the way, I saw a group of people with some familiar looks,

When I got to the shop, I remembered that it was a paragraph chapter that came to deliver rabbits a few days ago.

The blacksmith's sister-in-law saw that Ziyou was carrying something in her hand and hurried over to help.

"Girl, I just came out of the house, and I'm washing my face now."

As he spoke, he took his things and walked to the backyard.

Ziyou followed the other party and put the basket on the carriage.

"It's good if my sister-in-law calls me Ziyu."

As soon as the words fell, a big man walked out.

The other party is not very old, about 20 years old, not very tall, but big.

It's almost late autumn weather, and I'm wearing only a sleeveless linen shirt.

The biceps brachii appear to be very developed, but he has a delicate face, because he has just been washed, his face is still covered with water stains, and his expression looks a little shy.

The blacksmith's sister-in-law heard Ziyou's words, and she had a better impression of her, the first time she dared to store the carriage here, she should be a bold and unruly person, she took out a handkerchief from her arms and wiped it for Zhao Blacksmith and said: "The master, this is Ziyou girl, that is, the guest officer I just told you to ask for wire, then you and Ziyou will chat first, and I will go and make a pot of tea for the two of you." ”

Blacksmith Zhao looked at his wife and nodded and smiled, and led Ziyou to the stone table in the courtyard.

"Miss Ziyou, please take a seat."

After the other party finished speaking, he didn't sit down directly, but went to the room and took out a piece of wire and handed it to Ziyou.

"The wire that the girl said is like this?"

Ziyou took it, rubbed the wire with her fingers and then pulled it hard, the thickness was appropriate, and the surface was smooth, and it was very strong, it seemed that the purity of the iron was very high, although she was very curious about how the other party pulled the wire, but she didn't ask out in a measured way.

She nodded and said, "I want to make a cage out of wire and raise rabbits, I don't know if there is a problem." ”

After speaking, he put the wire on the stone table, took out the drawing of the rabbit cage from his sleeve and handed it to the other party.

Blacksmith Zhao looked at the size and style marked on the drawing, frowned, and said to Ziyou.

"Although this cage doesn't require much iron, it is time-consuming and laborious to make, and the wages have to be charged a lot."

Ziyou thought that no matter how expensive the cage was, it couldn't be saved, and nodded towards Blacksmith Zhao.

"Well, I know, and I want two hundred cages, Brother Zhao will make a price."

Looking for a blacksmith who was stunned after hearing this, said to Ziyou to wait a while, and walked into the room where the sound of striking iron came from before.

"Dad, take a look at it first." Blacksmith Zhao shouted, handed over the drawings, saw the other party stand up, took the cowhide bag that the other party had just made a cheering action, and repeated the gas, and the flames also came out of the cracks in the ore again and again.

While cheering, he told the other party about the two hundred cages he had just asked.

"You want to take over this business?" Blacksmith Zhao's father took the paper in his hand and asked him.

His voice was unusually hoarse, and he could hear that his vocal cords were badly damaged, and his voice was somewhat harsh.

"Well, next, Brother Duan, they don't have to go to other people's short-term jobs every day to be angry, and the household registration matter can also be done this morning, although I got a sum of money from selling rabbits last time, but the rabbits on several nearby mountains have almost been caught, and the household registration matter can no longer be delayed."

Blacksmith Zhao said as he pressed the cowhide bag, and when it puffed up, he pressed it down again, and the fire in the furnace became even stronger.

Blacksmith Zhao's father sighed slightly and nodded at him: "Then if those people find out that the wire is found, you won't regret it?" ”

Blacksmith Zhao shook his head and said, "I don't regret it, our lives were saved by Brother Duan, and the household registration was also changed by him, now that we have the opportunity to help Brother Duan, how can we let it go?" And we're not the only ones who do wire. He blurted out a little excited, and the movements of his hands quickened.

"Good!" Blacksmith Zhao's father patted him on the shoulder, but he knew in his heart that there were not many people who could make a large amount of wire and pull it so well.

In the room, the two began to negotiate the price of the wire cage.

Outside, Zi Youze was drinking tea brought by the blacksmith's sister-in-law while chatting with her about family life.

After a while, Blacksmith Zhao walked out.

"Ziyou girl, an iron cage costs two taels of silver, two hundred is forty taels of silver, and if you want more, you will be counted as thirty-eight taels, what do you think?"

Ziyou calculated in her heart, the wooden cage only costs twenty wen, but the wire cage is two hundred, ten times the difference, but she also knows that it is not easy to draw the wire for the iron now, especially the wire pulled out by the other party is so uniform and strong.

She nodded, pulling out the silver.

"I didn't bring enough money today, so I paid a deposit of twenty taels first."

After the two discussed the details of the cage again, they made a receipt, and Zi Yucai came out of the blacksmith shop.

Although the money in his pocket is not enough to buy cattle and donkeys, Ziyu also wants to take this opportunity to shop.

She drove the carriage towards the mule and horse market, where she had inquired with the blacksmith's sister-in-law.

The city of mules and horses was full of people, it was very lively, and Ziyou was afraid that the car would hit passers-by, so he got out of the car and took it instead.

"Oops! This is a good horse, look at the color of this horse's hair, as well as the limbs and this gait, not bad! Is the girl here to sell horses? ”

Ziyou turned his head and saw that it was a rich middle-aged uncle, dressed in silk and satin, and he was still holding a fan in his hand, which felt a little funny.

The people around heard the sound and looked over, a large number of carriages.

"No, I'm here to see how the cows and donkeys are sold." Ziyou replied.

"If you want to buy cows, come to me and buy them." An aunt next to her said.

"My donkey is fat and strong, come to me to buy it." Not to be outdone, another aunt said.

"I said it first, how can you do this?"

"Tell me what's wrong first....."

“......”

"Girl, my cattle shop has both horses and cows, do you want to take a look?" Uncle Fu took a fan and fanned the wind, and said to the pair who thought he was romantic.

"Okay, yes, but I didn't have enough money today..."

As soon as the words came out, they successfully shut up the two aunts.

"It's okay, we'll arrange home delivery too."

Ziyou nodded and followed the uncle to what he said about the cow shop.
