After settling the sundries, Xia Lin asked his mother and Hurley to go to the nearby market to buy the necessary firewood, rice, oil and salt.

In order to prevent his mother, who was accustomed to saving, from saving money, Xia Lin specially told Hurley that he was not used to eating brown rice with chaff and stones, and he went to the docks with the drawings he had drawn last night to find his father and eldest brother.

Unlike his father, who worked as a laborer at the docks, Xia Lin's eldest brother got a chance to become an apprentice blacksmith because he was lucky enough to save the daughter of a blacksmith family who accidentally fell overboard by the dock a year ago.

Although the apprentice was not paid, his master provided food and lightened the burden on the family.

And after leaving the school, it is equivalent to leaving the poor class, even among the common people, blacksmithing can be called a decent profession, no wonder the Carl family is called "the lucky Carl family" by the people in the slums.

Xia Lin went over this time just in time to let the blacksmith build the centrifuge.

Anyway, the structure of the simple centrifuge he designed was very simple, just an iron pot with a thickened bottom, and then a rotating shaft in the middle.

The upper part of the shaft is a crank structure, which is accompanied by a wooden frame and lid that holds the centrifuge in place, and then manually rotates the shaft to separate the molasses and brown sugar solution.

As for other power, Xia Lin can't think of anything suitable for the time being, fortunately, it is produced by a small workshop, so he will simply use it for a period of time, and then wait for the money to be considered for subsequent upgrades.

Xia Lin had never been to the blacksmith where Anthony was an apprentice, so he first found the members of the Bronze Hand Order on the dock and explained his intention, but he didn't expect that Old John and Anthony were already waiting for him at the dock.

It turned out that Roy and the others went to the dock to tell Old John and Anthony the news of Xia Lin after they returned, and asked them to wait for Xia Lin to come over at the dock.

I didn't expect Roy to still have this carefulness, Xia Lin found that this former playmate was indeed a talent, and if he needed it in the future, maybe he could pull him up and give him a bigger platform for him to display his talent.

"Xia Lin, shall we go back now?"

Seeing Xia Lin, Old John was pleased, he patted Xia Lin on the shoulder and didn't say anything, while Anthony rubbed his hands and asked with a little hesitation and entanglement.

"No, I still have something to go to the blacksmith shop to build it, big brother, you can lead the way, let's go to the blacksmith shop where you are an apprentice."

Charin was a little confused by Anthony's reaction, he thought about it and quickly came up with a guess.

Could it be ...... Is this guy really getting along with the daughter of that blacksmith shop?

"Good!"

Hearing Xia Lin's arrangement, Anthony suddenly grinned heartily.

The bloodline of the Carl family is not bad, and although Hurley is not well nourished, she can vaguely see the appearance of the future beauty.

Anthony had a tall and thick skeleton, and he had not eaten well before, and looked a little empty when he wore clothes, but after a year of apprenticeship meals at the blacksmith's house, he showed a strong appearance, which was in stark contrast to the emaciated body of old John.

Xia Lin sometimes wonders if Anthony is his big brother, after all, he is only about 1.6 meters now, and he has grown tall and big several years ago.

It's a pity that this eldest brother has a gentle personality, if he hadn't been bullied by himself and Hurley when he was a child, he would basically keep his face silent, and even the bronze hand couldn't look down on him, if he wasn't lucky, I'm afraid it would be the life of a dock porter like old John for a lifetime.

As for Xia Lin himself, he has never seen his appearance, but judging from the feel of touching the bones, his facial features are quite good in his life, and he should not be much worse.

"Anthony!"

The three of them walked to the blacksmith where he was an apprentice under the guidance of Anthony, and before they could reach the blacksmith shop, Xia Lin saw a petite figure in a linen shirt and men's coarse cloth pants crouching at the door of the blacksmith shop, not knowing what he was doing.

Seeing Xia Lin and the three of them, the figure suddenly got up and shouted in surprise, and couldn't wait to run over.

The girl who is said to have been rescued by her eldest brother is less than 1.6 meters tall, with short red hair tied into a short ponytail, some freckles on her face, and an energetic smile that is easy to make people feel good.

"Bessie, I'm back! This is my brother Charlem Carr! ”

Facing the enthusiastic girl, Anthony scratched his head a little shyly and stretched out his hand to introduce.

"I know, you've told me many times that you have a younger brother who has become a mage!"

Bessie looked at Xia Lin curiously, lowered her head and took out a somewhat strange iron object from her trouser pocket that looked like a mess of grass and handed it to Xia Lin:

"Hello! Charlin, I'm Bessie Barker, your brother's future wife! ”

"Huh?"

The father and son on the field suddenly turned their heads to look at the big man.

"No...... No, well, I'll admit that I like Bessie, and Bessie likes me too! Daddy, I want to marry Bessie! ”

Anthony's face flushed, and when he saw that all three of them were staring at him with blazing eyes, it took a long time before he admitted dejectedly.

"Congratulations, big brother! And sister-in-law, thank you for the gift, what is this? ”

Xia Lin smiled and accepted the gift, feeling quite amused by the strange couple, and after congratulating him, he looked at the strange iron object and asked curiously to his future sister-in-law.

"This is my dragon badge based on a legendary story, although my craftsmanship is a bit poor, but trust me, this dragon will protect you for me and Anthony!"

Bessie was not in the slightest embarrassed by her craft, and as she spoke, she smiled and grabbed Anthony's arm.

"I see, then I'll put it away carefully!"

After being prompted, Xia Lin vaguely recognized that the weed seemed to be a giant dragon with its wings outstretched, and although he was a little curious about why the dragon played the role of a patron saint, he nodded and put the badge into the pocket of the mage's robe.

"Bessie is a good boy, since you like each other, then I'll talk to Blake about it later!"

After Xia Lin and Bessie finished speaking, Old John put his hands behind his back, looked at the two sweet children, and said with a smile.

"Then thank you Dad!"

Having received old John's approval, Bessie said happily at once, and then she seemed to remember something again, and turned her gaze to Anthony.

"By the way, Anthony, didn't Xia Lin buy a house in the North End, and Mom and Dad are going to move in soon? Why are you back again? ”

"This is because I have a thing here that my uncle needs to build, so I asked my eldest brother to bring us over, why don't you see if there is any difficulty in building it for me, sister-in-law."

Xia Lin took out two drawings from his sleeve pocket and handed them to Bessie.

"Hmm...... It looks weird, but with my dad's skills, there shouldn't be any problem. ”

Bessie looked at the drawings and frowned slightly, thought about it and said.

"This thing? I'll probably be able to build it tomorrow night, but what's the use of this thing? ”

In the midst of their conversations, out of the blacksmith came a stout bearded man, shirtless, with a stained leather skirt around his lower body, thick hair on his chest, and red hair about the same length as Bessie's on his head, tied with a rope to make him look like a strong Spartan man.

"Oh, by the way, I agreed to your marriage to Bessie, but you guy has to fight for me, your brother bought a house in the North District at such an age, if you let my daughter live a hard life in the future, don't blame me for smashing your head with a sledgehammer!"

The middle-aged strong man took the drawings and looked at them carefully, touched the thick beard on his chin, and suddenly pretended to be casual and said.

"Daddy!"

Hearing her father's slightly threatening words, Bessie huffed up and glared at him.

“……”

"Tsk! Lao Tzu has raised his daughter for more than ten years, but he didn't expect that he is not as good as a stinky boy now! Forget it, I won't bother you, I took these two paintings, remember to come and pick up the goods tomorrow night. ”

Bessie's father and Bessie looked at each other for a few seconds, and at last the old father, defeated by his daughter's disgruntled gaze, waved his hand in a boring way, and walked down to the blacksmith's shop.

"Then I'll go and help too, Anthony, you and your brother and they should go back to celebrate the move first! See you tomorrow! ”

Bessie grinned at this, waved goodbye to the three of them, and turned back into the blacksmith's shop.
