But then the two families have always gotten along well, especially Shen Xiangmiao treats him no different from others, and because Shen Xianghe has helped their family a lot in the past, he also sent some food to Shen Xianghe who was sick, which made Shen Laifu feel that Shen Xiangmiao was very open-minded, and he was a little ashamed.

In addition to these days, Aunt Ma matched a girl from a neighboring village, because she had a few pockmarks on her face, her father and mother died one after another, and she had to keep filial piety and become an old girl, but the Xue family, who was diligent and very virtuous, had reached the point of talking about marriage, and Shen Laifu also completely put down the past.

Now that I see Shen Xiangmiao, I am more cordial than before, and I don't let the little guy come to greet her, so I personally took Shen Xiangmiao around the shop: "What do you want to see Xiangmiao, the spatula, the pot and spoon or the shovel and hoe used at home?" ”

"Don't look at any of that." Shen Xiangmiao shook her head.

"What's that?" Without waiting for Shen Xiangmiao to say the next sentence, Shen Laifu slapped his head suddenly, grabbed the words and said, "But do you want to see the dog chain?" I remember that your family recently got a big wolf dog, so it must be disobedient and has to be leashed. ”

"It's not ......" Shen Xiangmiao pursed her lips and smiled, "I just want to ask Uncle Fu to help me make a pot." ”

"If you want a pot, it's not a problem!" Hitting the pot is a simple matter, Shen Laifu grinned and said, "How big is it, how many feet?" ”

(Note: The size of the pot refers to the size of the pot.) ）

"Shaku-four is fine, but this pot is different from the ordinary one, can it be made into a flat-bottomed one, and then split it in half from it?" Shen Xiangmiao said.

Shen Laifu was stunned for a moment, and was a little puzzled: "It's not a problem to make this flat-bottomed, what does this separation mean?" What's the separation? ”

Moreover, if this pot is spaced in the middle, how can it be cooked?

Shen Laifu was suddenly quite puzzled.

"It's just that there is a partition in the middle, separated into two and a half pots, so that there is a fire at the bottom, and I can cook two soups at the same time." Shen Xiangmiao explained while making a rough comparison: "If you take the straight baffle and make it for fear that it will not be firm, it can be slightly curved, yes, just like the kind of Taiji diagram you usually see." ”

Shen Xiangmiao simply took a pen and paper at the counter and drew a rough picture: "That's about what it looks like." ”

Shen Laifu looked at the pattern of the pot that looked like a Taiji diagram for a long time, then lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "Oh, I probably know it in my heart." It's just that if this pot is made of iron, I'm afraid it's not easy to beat, so it's better to take copper to beat, it looks good, it's easy to beat, and it's durable, but the price will be slightly more expensive. ”

Copper is more valuable than iron, and it obviously takes more time than ordinary to make such a pot, so the price is naturally higher.

"I don't understand this either, Uncle Laifu looks suitable, Uncle Laifu has good craftsmanship and experience, and what he says will definitely not be wrong." Shen Xiangmiao said with a smile.

was praised openly and secretly, and Shen Laifu, the big man, was praised a little embarrassed: "Cheng, estimate it for three days, and when it's done, I'll let someone send it to you, if it's wrong, you tell me again, and I'll repair it." ”

"Hmm." Shen Xiangmiao nodded and took her purse out: "How much deposit to pay?" ”

Shen Laifu saw Shen Xiangmiao's posture and hurriedly stopped: "What kind of deposit is not fixed, people in the family, you will not see the given deposit, and you will give it when the pot is ready." ”

Last time, Shen Xiangmiao introduced Fang Huairen from the Moon Man Building to come to him to play a special double-layer pot, and he played dozens of them at once, which can be regarded as making a lot of money, Shen Laifu has Shen Xiangmiao's good children in his heart, and naturally he will not ask for the deposit given by Shen Xiangmiao at this time.

"That's done." Seeing Shen Laifu's persuasion, Shen Xiangmiao didn't insist, so she told Shen Laifu: "It's still the same as the last time Uncle Fu made a pot for Yuemanlou, don't let others see this pot, if others ask, don't say that I came to fight." ”

Shen Laifu has been in the town for a long time, and the matter between Yuemanlou and Deshunlou was in a uproar before, and he naturally knew that Yuemanlou played the pot here, and then it became the famous grilled fish rack in Qingshui Town, Shen Laifu probably guessed that this was the cooking utensils secretly developed by Yuemanlou in order to compete with Deshunlou.

At this time, Shen Xiangmiao came to play a strange pot again, and the designation also had a major purpose, and Shen Laifu naturally knew that his mouth should be stricter, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to the guests.

"Don't worry, I know, I don't dare to say it, this mouth is very strict, and I promise not to reveal half a word." Shen Laifu laughed as he sent Shen Xiangmiao out of the door.

"That's it, Uncle Laifu is busy first." After a few words of greeting, Shen Xiangmiao left the blacksmith shop and went to East Street.

When I passed the intersection, I saw a leek box for sale.

Freshly made and fried, the thin skin, fried golden brown, crispy and crispy, the aroma of leeks and tofu seeps out little by little through the skin outside, and you can smell the fragrance from afar.

Shen Xiangmiao thought that Shen Wentao liked to eat leek boxes, so she bought some.

And I bought a little more, and went back to eat with Qiao Dayou, Meng Weisheng and others.

I picked out a dozen fried leek boxes, and I didn't let anyone cut them, so I took a bag of paper and a bundle of hemp rope, and after paying, Shen Xiangmiao carried the steaming leek box and wanted to leave.

Not far away, Xiao Wande saw Shen Xiangmiao with a smile on his face, and the roots of his teeth were itching.

The price reduction of Deshun Building since a few days ago has been accompanied by a follow-up trouble, which can be said to be a heavy loss.

The money that is hard to lose by selling vegetables, the money that the guests who make trouble from time to time smash the tables, chairs and dishes, those days are tired enough because of the back kitchen, the people who run the hall are tired enough, and they are noisy and shouting for the money they want to be rewarded, and when Li Zheng came forward, he sent Li Zheng's money, and invited a few strong men to pay the wages in the later period, and hired thugs to clean up Chang San......

Moreover, after experiencing this incident, Xiao Wande was not lightly angry, fell ill all of a sudden, asked a doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and prescribed a lot of tonic medicine to eat, which was also a lot of medical expenses.

This money, calculated inside and out, is as much as a few hundred taels.

This is far less than the Deshun Building, which is far inferior to the full moon building on weekdays, and the silver of a few hundred taels is almost more than half of the belongings of the entire Deshun Building.

What's more, since that farce, Deshun Lou has reopened to do business, those people have eaten enough cheap dishes before, and now the more they look at the price of vegetables, the more they feel panicked, and they don't come to Deshun Lou to eat, plus the moon full building sells excellent grilled fish these days, Deshun Lou is getting more and more deserted.

Xiao Wande was anxious, like ants on a hot pot, but he didn't know what to do, and he walked around the street in a depressed way, and saw Shen Xiangmiao without thinking.
