Chapter 308 Yuzhou Dingdao
The charcoal brought into the city this time was ordered away as soon as he arrived at the place.
The buyer is still a merchant in Cunhe County, Zhao Si is the match, and the mentality of those two people is the same as that of the two shopkeepers yesterday, and they all want to get a little bit of General Wei's relationship.
Two truckloads of charcoal easily earned 8 taels, which is a small amount of money for the couple.
According to their agreement with the village, the income of the village must be taken without leaving home, although the money is small, but what should be taken is still taken, pure charity is equal to absolute disaster.
The people in the village have no opinion, they all feel that the two ancestors have earned too little, Gao Yi, but he has more and more respect for the couple.
After the mule arrived, he went to the carpenter to order a cart, and ordered 10 carts at once, and the carpenter was shocked.
The last impression of the couple was that I still bought a bathtub.
In order to give Qingqing the best quality of life, when he was not rich at home, he spent a lot of money to order a bath barrel, which impressed the carpenter.
At that time, although he bought the most expensive bath tub, the carpenter could see that he was not very wealthy.
But this time, it's different.
As soon as he made a move, he was 10 board cars, as if he was already a rich man.
The carpenter did not dare to slack off, carefully asked the requirements of the inseparable, and agreed on a time to pick it up.
When talking about business, Qingqing walked back and forth in the carpenter's yard.
There was a lot of wood in the yard, and she looked at them one by one, but she was not satisfied.
"Where is your best wood?"
The carpenter nodded.
"It's all here. The people who come to me are ordinary people, and my best one is mahogany, and I dare not enter or sell Huanghuali, a material that can only be used by dignitaries."
After all, Cunhe County is only a small county, and there are only so many rich people in the county, and there are a few of them, and the real rich people will not come to his small carpenter shop.
"How much silver does it cost to make such wood?"
"How can one side get 3 or 4 taels, this is the price I inquired about a few years ago, I don't know if it has risen now, Huanghuali, you know how to know, we don't have this thing, the growth rate is extremely slow, and the price has been high."
Qingqing inquired about the price and knew it in her heart.
When he got out of the carpenter's shop, he asked, "Do you want to use Huanghuali to make a box for General Wei?"
"Where is he worthy, he can afford to use mahogany, and there is no worthless willow wood for him, which is the greatest respect for him."
Qingqing has Huanghuali in her hand, and she asked the carpenter, just to inquire about the price.
Hu Laoxi hoarded those precious building materials before, there are a lot of huanghuali in them, Qingqing inquired about the price, is to use for the decoration of his new store.
With this kind of wood decoration, there are few in the whole village and county, even if there are some high-end green buildings, it is impossible to use this thing in a large area.
Qingqing's shop is not big, even if all the wood is made of huanghuali, she has enough in her hand.
After pondering it, his daughter-in-law would rather decorate the wood than give it to General Wei, who is not worthy.
After coming out of the carpenter's house, the group went to the blacksmith shop again, and Qingqing wanted to order weapons.
To be precise, it is to customize a long knife, which can be used to perform English songs and dances when there is nothing to do, and can be used as a weapon when something happens, which is the soft power of the village, and it can't be saved at all.
I thought it would be easy to customize knives, but when the blacksmith shop heard that they were going to order dozens of knives, he was so frightened that he shook his head and waved his hand, saying that he couldn't do it.
Qingqing laughed and laughed, guessing that they were bandits who treated them as bandits, or if they wanted to revolt.
Leaving the blacksmith shop, Qingqing couldn't help but ask Hu Laoxi, "How did you decide on the knife in your cottage?"
"At the beginning, it didn't form a scale, and you could use whatever was convenient, and then didn't you have the support of Li Liang's dead ghost? He was already a county order, but he didn't dare to let us order knives in Cunhe County, the rules here were set by the Wei family's army, and the government didn't want to conflict with General Wei."
At the beginning, Qingfengzhai had an official background, but despite this, he had to go somewhere else to get a knife, just because he didn't want to offend General Wei.
The Wei army was stationed next to Cunhe County, and General Wei made an unwritten rule that if the blacksmith shop in the city received a large number of orders for custom knives, it must be reported to the Wei army.
No one cares about ordering a handful or two, and for a large-scale customization like Qingqing, the blacksmith does not dare to accept it, for fear of implicating himself.
"This knife can't be fixed, we can't jump with a stick, then who is to scare it." Qingqing was worried.
The blacksmith seems to have no technical content, but in fact, not everyone can do it, even if she understands the principle, it is impossible to make a perfect blade, ironwork is a technical job, and it is not good to do it without a few years of skill.
"Grandma, why don't we find the blacksmith who made knives for Qingfeng Village before, he will definitely be able to help us, but the road is a little far, he is over there in Yuzhou, not too far from Qingfeng Village, it is two directions from our village, but in terms of time, I'm afraid it's too late."
Hu Laoxi was a little troubled.
It will already be noon, if you go to Yuzhou to find a blacksmith, it will be afternoon, run faster, and you can enter the city, but it will definitely be too late to go out of the city, you will have to spend the night in Yuzhou tonight, and you can't go back to the village.
"It's okay, just come out to play." Qingqing looked at it and nodded.
The knife is definitely to be done, to get things done at once, and you don't have to run alone.
"It's okay for me to toss around as a rough man, a delicate person like you, Grandma, has been running on the road for several days, I'm a little worried that you won't be able to bear it." Hu Laoxi is telling the truth.
The roads are not all smooth, bumpy road conditions, tired from riding in the car, sore at the end of the day, men can't stand it, let alone a woman like the grandmother.
"It's okay, if you can't go back, find an inn in the city to stay, rest for one night and your strength will be restored, Lao Xi, you go with us, the third child, you take the mule back to the village first, and tell Mei'er that we won't go back tonight, so that she won't worry about Lao Xi."
Qingqing planned the route, and when he arrived in the city, the troops were divided into two roads.
The city gate returned to normal today, and the people of Gou Pianpian were evacuated, and it is estimated that Qingqing gave up after working hard yesterday and did not find Qingqing.
Jiang Laosan took the mule team back to Dayu, and the couple took Hu Laoxi and drove a carriage to Yuzhou.
As Hu Laoxi expected, when he arrived in Yuzhou, the city gate had already been lowered down, but he still did not leave the past, and stuffed some broken silver for the city guards before letting them in.
The carriage that did not leave entered the city, and the city gate was closed behind them, and they were the last people to enter Yuzhou.
The blacksmith's house is a little off, the three of them gnawed dry food on the road to satisfy their hunger, Qingqing talked and laughed with him throughout the whole process, and he had to evaluate the beautiful scene, and he couldn't see the fatigue at all.
Hu Laoxi secretly sighed, it would be a pity not to be a bandit with the bold temperament, meticulous mind, super combat effectiveness, and good physical strength of the grandmother. Chinese Net
It feels like she's a natural bandit leader...... Of course, these words of praise that he boasted of praising did not dare to say it, but could only think about it in his heart.
