Chapter 213: Hum Haw
Xiangping hit the iron shop, Lu Songli explained the intention, and then handed the drawings in his hand to the young iron chop.
Seeing that it was a new thing, the young blacksmith was not sure, so he had to ask his father, who was resting in the backyard, to come out.
His father is also an old blacksmith, he looked at the drawings given by Lu Songli, pondered for a while, and said to Lu Songli, "This thing needs a lot of iron, and the labor cost plus the iron used is a total of eight taels of silver, can you do it?" β
"Done." Lu Songli didn't blink, "How long will it take?" β
Wu Ren wanted to speak and stopped, he felt that he could bargain.
"It's a new thing, and it will take about three days to get it right." The old blacksmith felt that this was to be made clear.
Lu Songli asked, "Let's add money, you guys hurry up, okay?" "For three days, they still have to plough the ground with their bare hands for three days, which is too tiring to be necessary.
The old blacksmith did not speak.
The young blacksmith shook his head, "Not soon, I'm alone in the shop now, my father is old and doesn't make iron anymore." "Besides, he has other work on his hands.
"Ten taels." Lu Songli lightly increased the price.
Then the old blacksmith glanced at his son.
The young blacksmith gritted his teeth and said, "I'll try to give you two days to make it." "He's leaning back the rest of the list, right?
"Fifteen taels."
Young blacksmith, "Get it in a day!" "Big deal, he's not sleeping!
"Twenty taels."
The young blacksmith was entangled, he wanted to say that he couldn't do it, he really couldn't do it, and he couldn't do it with money.
The old blacksmith on the side took over, "You come and get it in the evening." β
"Dad, no." My son can't do it, and he can't do it even if his hands are wasted. Young Iron Slash was about to cry.
The old blacksmith kicked him, "Silly, daddy is here to help you!" β
As the saying goes, money doesn't make a bastard!
"Call your old carpenter, Uncle Wang, and try to get it done for someone in an afternoon." After doing an afternoon's work and giving Lao Wang two taels of silver, he estimated that he would have to run happily. The point is that the work to be done is not difficult.
"Add five taels more, and the iron will be fine iron for me." Lu Songli made another request.
"Okay." The old blacksmith is very cheerful, you have money, you have the final say.
At Lu Songli's suggestion, Lu Mingzhi obediently went to give a deposit of ten taels.
came out to play the iron shop, Lu Songli looked at Wu Ren, "Wu Ren, have you learned?" β
Lv Mingzhi: What did you learn? Throwing money at it? He would too.
Wu Ren was thoughtful.
"There are some things that race against time, and you have to throw money when it's time to throw money."
"Money can make ghosts grind, in the business field, there is nothing that money can't solve, if there is, it must be not enough money."
Lu Songli nodded at him.
Wu Ren is smart and studious, can put down his body, and learns things quickly, in short, everything is good, but his background limits his horizons, and sometimes he is too small.
In fact, the upper limit of today's example is still too low, and if it is that kind of big deal, it will definitely allow him to open up the pattern.
Lu Songli thought, wait for the opportunity. But today's example gave him an inspiration, and it was not bad.
In the evening, Lu Songli successfully got the Quyuan plow, she nodded to them, and left.
The young blacksmith and the old blacksmith were obviously tired, and after handing over the things to Lu Songli, they sat on the chairs and didn't even bother to speak.
Lu Mingzhi and Wu Ren sent Lu Songli back in a carriage.
When he was about to arrive, Lu Mingzhi reluctantly said, "Second sister, we will go back to Chang'an soon." β
In the past two days, they have been frantically enclosing land and buying property, and each of them has bought ten to thirty or fifty acres of land on the same land, and when they have done all this, they will go back.
Thinking of returning to Chang'an, Lu Mingzhi was happy and reluctant in his heart.
Lu Songli stopped, "Then go back, don't think too much about me." β
Lu Mingzhi choked, forget it, the sad atmosphere was completely destroyed by his second sister.
Lu Songli knew that it wouldn't be long before they moved to Xiangping. For four months at most, she couldn't feel sad.
Wu Ren was the first to jump out of the carriage and asked the soldier on duty, "Is the forest manager here?" β
The guard's creep didn't say he was there, he didn't say he wasn't there, "Is there something wrong?" β
"It's nothing, I just went to the street and ate a nice sauce hoof, and I brought him some. If he's not there, can you please pass it on to him? As Wu Ren spoke, he took out an oily paper bag from the carriage, and he could smell the aroma of the sauce meat closely.
"Wait."
Lu Songli didn't get out of the car, and Wu Ren came forward to deal with it.
It didn't take long for the forest to come, and hearty laughter came.
Wu Ren stepped forward and exchanged a few words with him.
Lin Zhong glanced at their carriage, and with a wave of his hand, their carriage was released.
Lu Mingzhi and Wu Ren sent her to the door of the house, and then turned back and did not go in to bother again.
At this time, it was almost dark, and the Qin family had just returned from the field.
When Qin Sheng arrived home, he found that she hadn't come back yet, and he was a little worried, and he was walking out, planning to go out to find her.
Seeing her struggling to carry the Quyuan plow to her home, she hurriedly stepped forward to take it.
In the courtyard, Qin Zhao saw that he was carrying a strange-shaped gadget in his hand and asked, "What is this?" β
Lu Songli explained, "A tool for plowing, with it, we don't have to be so tired when ploughing the ground." β
"I'll try." Qin Zhao was eager to try.
Today they turned over the ground all day, and they were so tired that not only did their hands get blisters, but they felt that their waists couldn't straighten up a little. Only then did he realize that ploughing the ground was not an easy job.
The most powerful is Xiaoliu, who can turn over six or seven acres of land a day, followed by the second brother, who is also five or six acres of land, and he and his eldest brother are almost, they can turn four or five acres a day.
It's just a little tired, and they started working until dark, and they worked for an hour more than the other outcasts. But there is no way, it is all for the sake of the female dependents of the family.
Originally, Juntun stipulated that a male outlaw turning over three acres of land a day was the limit of exploitation, and many men barely completed it. They are already very powerful in this way, not only completing their personal tasks, but also taking over the tasks of their female dependents.
Qin Zhao tossed for a while, feeling that he didn't know the point, so he brought it to Lu Songli, "It's quite sharp, but it's not easy to use." β
Lu Songli was drinking the water that Qin Sheng poured for her, and said with a smile when she heard this, "Third brother, it's not like this, you'll know tomorrow." β
At night, when he returned to the house and went to sleep, Qin Sheng was humming and chirping, and it was difficult for Lu Songli not to pay attention.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Hand painβ" Qin Sheng thought for a moment and added, "Back painβ"
In fact, he didn't hurt anywhere, he completely learned from his third brother like this, and in the evening, I heard him complain a few times.
Lu Songli asked him, "Then I'll give you a button?" "Her massage technique is still good.
I heard that he turned the ground the most today, and if the amount of exercise is exceeded, there may be arm swelling and pain, just press it and push the accumulated lactic acid away.
"Okay!" When Qin Sheng heard this, he was so happy that a carp stiffened, and quickly pulled himself to the point that only one pair of pants remained, and then lay down again.
The clothes that flew around were like his flying mood......
Lu Songli raised his eyebrows, his movements were so fast, it didn't look like his muscles were sore. Forget it, he worked so hard, it should be a reward for him.
