Gejia Village is larger than Lianxi Village, and most of them are surnamed Ge and live in a clan.

Like Stone Bay is also a clan, and most of the people in the village are surnamed Liu.

Lianxi Village is not like them, there are many surnames, this question Qiao Moer once asked the Han family, and the Han family said that there was only one Liu clan in Lianxi Village before, that is, Liu Tieshu and their clan, but then they fell into despair and were deserted.

But later, the war in the north, the people were affected, and those who fled the famine gathered here, and most of the other villages were clans, and some did not tolerate foreign surnames, but there were few people in Lianxi Village, and there were few people in the Liu clan, so they couldn't stop those victims, so they all settled here.

Later, it multiplied into what it is now.

But the Liu family, even if it has been a few generations now, does not have a good impression of most people with foreign surnames in the village.

At that time, Qiao Mo'er felt quite a lot about this, because although the people in the village gossiped together and enjoyed the shade under the tree together, they really didn't see each other, who was too enthusiastic with whom.

At that time, Liu Tieshu was very indifferent to them.

………………

The blacksmith of Gejiazhuang was called Ge Yong, and after asking someone casually, he found his residence.

Ge Yong is a man of five big and three thick, and when Qiao Mo'er and they arrived, he was wearing this short hammer to strike iron in the yard.

"Uncle Ge is good." Qiao Mo'er greeted politely.

Looking at the eyes, Ge Yong didn't fool them, after reading the sketch that Qiao Mo'er drew on the ground with a branch, after a little calculation, he said: "I won't fool you, this thing is too scrap iron, the iron plate plus the iron bucket, a total of eight taels of silver." ”

In this era, in order to prevent some people from making weapons and rebelling privately, things like iron tools needed to be registered in the yamen.

Although Qiao Mo'er had been mentally prepared, when she heard eight taels of silver, her flesh still hurt.

But the man in front of him has always been very good, otherwise Qiao Guangfa and the Han family would not let them come to him.

"Then it's going to trouble Uncle Ge."

Reluctant that the child can't trap the wolf, she will definitely earn back this cost.

"You have to pay half of the silver first, and then give the rest when it's ready." Ge Yong scratched his head and said a little embarrassed.

Qiao Mo'er immediately counted four taels of silver from her arms and gave it to Ge Yong, and said with a smile: "Our family is in a hurry to use it, so it's troublesome for Uncle Ge." ”

"Don't worry, it will be ready in five days, you can pick it up, or will I send it to you?" Ge Yong took the silver and patted his chest to reassure.

Qiao Mo'er left an address, and then went home.

On the way home, Qiao Xu cut some weeds, Qiao Mo'er went to the ditch to pull out some spear buds, dug up some grass roots, swayed all the way, and when she returned home, there was only a red glow left in the sky.

Qiao Guangfa cut two bowl-thick bamboos and threw them in the middle of the yard, and the small baskets she asked for had already been made into two.

Although it is said that the countrymen here basically weave baskets, but the baskets woven by Qiao Guangfa are really exquisite, Qiao Mo'er thought in her heart, another day, tell Qiao Guangfa about all kinds of flower baskets in her previous life and sell them, and she will definitely be able to sell them.

"I'm back, just in time, I'm eating."

Hearing the movement, Han came out of the kitchen and shouted.

There are many hand-fried pancakes of the Han family lying on the grate in the kitchen, so these are the pancakes for the family's dinner. Because it is made of pure pork oil, it is sandwiched with refreshing dried bamboo shoots and radish gnocchi, and it is not greasy to eat.

"Mother, let's buy some green onion seeds on the day after tomorrow, just on the edge of the cabbage field, dig two ridges to plant, and don't occupy an area." Qiao Mo'er brought back the shallots from the field and discussed them with the Han family.

Han laughed, "Your father left two acres of land to plant mung beans next month, and you can also dig two ridges in the field and sprinkle some shallots." This year, we have land, so let's grow some vegetables. ”

When he said this, Han was very confident.
