Bai Yi took each cloth bag in order to inspect the goods, "Each one has more than six feet, right?" ”

"Hmmm! In order to prevent accidents, I prepared according to seven feet, my mother guessed whether Brother Bai was going to try any materials, and asked me to prepare several kinds of fishing lines, all of which were beaten with the tendons of sea fish, you see. ”

Xiao Man said and took out a small bag from his arms.

"But it's not that much, just over two feet."

Bai Yi was a little surprised to take the pouch handed over by Xiaoman, obviously not expecting that this child had made other preparations in addition to what he had ordered.

"This material feels good to the touch......" Bai Yi showed a slight smile on his face, "Well done." ”

Xiao Man smiled and lowered his head a little embarrassed.

Bai Yi took out a money bag from his waist - unlike the few coins and broken silver that he casually threw to his husband just now, this small bag was heavy.

Xiao Man glanced at Ah Li, carefully took it with both hands, and gasped at the first glance of the disassembly.

"Good...... Better! ”

"I said five taels of silver." Bai Yi supported his face with one hand and gently tapped the table with the other, "Didn't you tell Brother Ah Li, when will I settle accounts with you?" ”

The number of people in the shop gradually increased, and the boss came over with three bowls of wontons at this time and placed them in front of the three of them in turn.

Xiao Man and Ah Li were just about to reach out for their chopsticks when they felt the boss stand still in front of the two of them.

The boss's sturdy shadow cast down, enveloping both children in it, and he pressed the hands of the two children towards the chopsticks with a wooden stick that swept away mosquitoes and flies.

"What's the matter, don't you let me eat?" Ah Li's face was gloomy, and his feet under the table exerted a slight force, and he secretly turned to the side of the boss, obviously ready to fight at any time.

"Wash your hands." The boss's deep voice sounded, "There's a water tank outside." ”

Bai Yi lightly kicked Ah Li a few times under the table, and coaxed softly, "Go, go, I'll show you the wontons." ”

Ah Li snorted, stood up and swaggered out, Xiao Man followed behind like a little daughter-in-law.

The boss looked at them and instructed them to take a little soap and plant ash from the side of the water tank and rub them together.

When he came back, the original four black little hands instantly turned white.

Bai Yi had already taken chopsticks and spoons for the two of them, Ah Li buried his head in eating violently, but Xiao Man on the side didn't move the chopsticks much. Originally, Bai Yi thought that Xiaoman was too hot, but after asking, he learned that he wanted to keep some to take home to his mother.

"Your mother is sick?"

Xiao Man nodded, shook his head again, and Ah Li had already spoken for him, "Her mother gave birth to a younger brother for her, and the family can't turn around, and she is hungry in the confinement, so her body is not good." ”

"I can't turn around, and I still have to give birth."?" In the countryside, there is no man in the family who can't get by. Ah Li said disapprerovingly, "If she doesn't have a younger brother in the future, there will be no one to support her when she marries in the future." ”

Bai Yi realized at this time that Xiaoman was a girl. Thinking of Bai Ling, he sighed, and called the boss to add a bowl of wontons to pack away.

Xiao Man happily shouted thank you, Brother Bai, and then began to move the chopsticks.

When she was almost done, Ah Li said to her, "You go first, Brother Bai and I still have some things to discuss." ”

Xiao Man nodded obediently, picked up the wontons packed by the boss and stood up, and was about to walk out, when he suddenly turned around as if he remembered something.

"Brother Li, this silver ......"

"Our rules, I won't take a penny of your first business," Ah Li waved his hand, "Take it back!" ”

"Huh!" Xiao Man was overjoyed, and then trotted out.

Five taels of silver is a huge amount of money for a family of four, at least they don't have to worry about food for this year or two.

Bai Yi looked at the back of Xiaoman leaving, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

It was only at this time that Ah Li put down his chopsticks, he shouted Brother Bai again, and then pulled out a dozen drawings from his arms.

"I've asked several blacksmiths, and they all said that all the drawings you brought can be used, but they can't take your order."

Bai Yi was not surprised, but asked softly, "Yes, why?" ”

"Because these things are not used by anyone on weekdays, like this ...... What is this, hemostat. It looks good-looking, but it is certainly not as good as big scissors to cut things, and he said that he will only open a set of molds for more than a dozen taels of silver, and he will not be able to sell it in the future. "So it's a loss-making business." ”

"And what if I buy the mold with it?"

Ah Li was stunned for a moment, "...... When did Big Brother Bai become so wide? ”

"Just tell them, money is not a thing, the key is to make things that can be used, if there is a deviation, I will definitely not give a penny." Bai Yi said seriously, "Let them weigh their own skills before they speak, if they take over the work and delay my business, they will not have good fruit to eat." ”

"Done."

As he spoke, Bai Yi took out a step bag from his arms and moved it from the table to Ah Li's side, "Here are ten taels of silver, I brought so much money when I went out today, you can see which one is reliable, help me pay a deposit." ”

"Derre!" Ah Li grabbed the money bag with one hand and said, "Also, I saw Master Wan yesterday, and I also told him that I wanted to take the things you deposited with him, but he said that you have to pick up the things yourself." ”

Bai Yi hissed, and then vaguely remembered that when he asked the master, he seemed to have said something similar to "Except for myself, no one else will be allowed to touch it......

"But I'm in the palace during the day, so I don't have time." Bai Yi frowned, "He doesn't see anyone at night......"

Ah Li's eyes rolled, "Or does Brother Bai have any tokens?" You take a personal object to me, and I show it to Master Wan, and he will know that I am entrusted by you, and you are now in the palace to do things, busy, he must also know. ”

"Tokens, ......"

Bai Yi fell into deep thought.

There are ...... tokens But he was a little reluctant to give it away.

"Brother Bai?" Ah Li stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Bai Yi.

Bai Yi frowned and slowly took out something from his arms.

It looks like a small stick carefully wrapped in cotton.

Ah Li leaned over curiously, "What is this?" ”

Bai Yi untied the knot on it with heavy eyes, and after unwrapping the outer package, a silver knife was revealed inside.

The knife is divided into two parts, the blade and the handle, the handle is long, the blade is hollowed out, and the blade is polished to the point of extreme shine.

Ah Li held his breath, "This is ...... Is it silver? ”

"Well, I did it myself." Bai Yi gently stroked the back of the knife, "Lancet." ”
