Saying that, in order to get them to agree to pay for the custom steaming drawer, Lin Yan worked hard to promote: "And in addition to steaming buns, the steaming drawer can also steam rice rolls, or steamed cakes, steamed noodles, steamed fish......"

Lin Yan snapped his fingers and said a lot of dishes that Shen Jing'an and the Huang family had never heard of.

Huang is okay, she just listened, and she didn't have any opinions.

Shen Jing'an couldn't help but stare at Lin Yan and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He thought a lot more than the Huang family, for example, how could Lin Yan know so many dishes, when his father told him about this family business, he didn't mention that the Lin family could cook, and the family had ancestral skills.

But he didn't ask, just hid his doubts in his heart, casually took a few strings of copper plates he got today, and beckoned Lin Yan to go out: "There is a craftsman near the bookstore, I'll take you there to have a look." ”

At this time, there were steamed vegetables, but not much, and the rice retort was steamed.

But the rice retort looks like a wooden barrel, steaming fish and vegetables is okay, not suitable for steaming buns at all.

Lin Yan has cleaned up the memory of the original owner in the past two days, and has studied it carefully, the food of the people here is really simple, basically boiled, and occasionally broiled, or stewed.

According to these judgments, Lin Yan felt that at this time, it was about the Qin and Han dynasties.

Lin Yan followed Shen Jing'an's side, and when he arrived at the craftsman's house he said, the family had just eaten a full meal, and the family of four or five people was cutting bamboo in the yard, and a few children were running and jumping around.

They knocked on the door, and an old man put down the bamboo piece in his hand and looked up at them: "What do you two need?" ”

Lin Yan said what the steamer looked like.

The old man has good craftsmanship, and he understands as soon as he hears it: "Do you want a steamer that is shorter than the rice retort?" ”

Lin Yan thought about it and felt that he was not wrong, so he emphasized: "That lid has to be changed, I need a lid with good drainage, and the water droplets on the lid can't drip down." ”

The old man and his sons and daughters were a little confused, they could understand, but what Lin Yan said about the lid of the steamer should have a certain arc or something, they didn't quite understand.

Shen Jing'an watched Lin Yan hurriedly gesticulate, couldn't help but smile slightly, and took out a pen and paper from the cloth bag at any time: "Or, let's draw it for my uncle and let him do it according to the drawings?" ”

Lin Yan's eyes lit up, Shen Jing'an couldn't help but take another look, found a flat place to lay the rice paper, sharpened it, and handed the pen to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan looked at the soft pen and was a little embarrassed: "I said, do you draw?" ”

Originally, Lin Yan didn't think much about it, but after carefully recalling the characteristics of the steamer, she remembered many important points.

For example, the bottom of the bamboo should be about four centimeters wide and 0.5 centimeters thick. The people here don't understand the word centimeter, and Lin Yan didn't know how to describe it for a while, so he had to make a blind comparison.

But Shen Jing'an was smart, and after drawing the appearance she described, she marked it with small characters on the side, and it was not enough to just memorize the words, and even drew the size.

After painting the steamer, the most important steamer lid was painted.

The lid of the cage must be conical with a curved shape to prevent dripping, and the lid and pot must fit tightly without any gaps.

Shen Jing'an held the pen in one hand, lightly dipped it in ink, and scraped off too much ink, then held the pen and stared at Lin Yan's eyebrows as he described the appearance of the cage.

Looking at it, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Lin Yan seems to be always very happy these days.

Lin Yan in his memory always lives according to the rules, following his mother like a little maid, but as his father wishes, he serves his mother obediently.

It's just that he has no personality at all, whatever his mother says is what he says, he is well-behaved, but he can't always see a smile.

But today's Lin Yan, how to say it?

All the time, confident - like a, little sun.

The little sun seemed to be a little dazzling, Shen Jing'an hid her doubts, and according to what she said, she also drew the cage cover.

Lin Yan, who couldn't draw, took a closer look at the picture handed over by Shen Jing'an, and was very satisfied: "That's it!" ”

She gave the picture to the old man: "Uncle, according to this picture, how much does a steamer cost?" ”

The old man took the picture and looked at it carefully, and felt that it was not difficult, the steamer and the rice retort looked very different, but when it was done, it was not the same at the bottom.

It's this cover, he has to think about it, especially the lid needs to fit tightly and not leak.

Lin Yan said: "This steamer and cage cover, you separate it?" ”

The old man recruited his son, and the two discussed for a while, and then decided: "This steaming drawer is not difficult, fifteen yuan each, that is, this lid, thirty yuan." ”

Lin Yanyuan thought it would be very expensive, but he was relieved to hear it. Seeing that there was still a lot of money left in the original budget, he hurriedly said: "Two steaming drawers and one lid are counted as one set, and I want two sets." ”

Shen Jingan raised his eyebrows in surprise on the side, but did not speak.

The old man didn't expect it, and after listening to it, he said: "I want two sets, and the lid of the second set is only twenty yuan." ”

Bamboo at this time was cheap and was everywhere in the mountains.

And at this time, the strength is even more money-free, and the real value is the craftsmanship.

The steaming drawer and the rice retort are almost the same, and the old man is not easy to collect, the lid has not been made, and they have to think about it if they want to do it, so it is expensive.

But if you know one, the second one will be simple.

Lin Yan couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately smiled: "The old man is magnificent! ”

The old man also smiled: "If someone asks about this steamer in the future, I have to trouble the little lady to tell them that it was made at my Guan family." ”

It's a living advertisement for her.

Lin Yan hurriedly smiled and responded.

Guan Laozhang knew that Lin Yan was urgent, so he said that today and tomorrow, he would make the steamer.

So Shen Jing'an paid the deposit, thanked Mr. Guan, and took Lin Yan back.

On the way, Lin Yan couldn't help but feel that the Guan family took the initiative to lose the money covered by the second cage.

Shen Jing'an talked about this old man: "The craftsmanship of the Guan family is well-known in the town, and the reputation of the Guan family is even better. ”

Lin Yan couldn't help but look back at the Guan family.

The courtyard of the Guan family is different from their narrow courtyard with only one entrance.

There is a shop in front of the Guan family, and behind the shop is a three-entry courtyard, which is already considered a very wealthy person in the town.

In this society, there are many who can support a family by a craft, but there are few who want to be rich.

The Guan family must be famous for having such a big mansion in the town.

Lin Yan smiled: "It is an object that can be cooperated with for a long time." ”

As she spoke, she couldn't help but smile again, she didn't think that she had anything to work with a bamboo carpenter for a long time as a chef.

The two did not continue the conversation, but moved on to other things, and soon returned home.

As soon as Shen Jing'an got home, he buried himself in copying his book again.

Lin Yan had nothing to do, so he wandered around the kitchen, pondering for tonight's dinner.
