"Jin Dou, you can read and write, let's go to the town to buy a few books in a while, and you will teach me to recognize it when you go home?"

Although the writing of this era is somewhat similar to the ancient traditional characters, it is not exactly the same, Lin Yi didn't want to be illiterate, so she thought about letting Ji Qianmo teach her.

Ji Qianmo said with a smile: "If my daughter-in-law wants to learn, I will teach." ”

When he came back, because he had lost more than 100 catties of mutton, the cow ran faster, and it only took a little more than an hour to get to the town.

Lin Yi thought that the ox had been running for most of the day, and he was tired and hungry, so he spent 20 yuan to send the ox cart to the car dealership, let the cattle rest for a while, and also eat some forage, and asked the owner of the car shop to change the cattle with a brand new cow rein.

Lin Yi and Ji Qianmo came to the blacksmith shop and saw the blacksmith standing by the stove to strike iron.

Lin Yi was about to go up and ask, when an old man in his fifties came out of the store.

"Are you two going to buy farm tools?"

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "Boss, we want to customize a pair of iron shelves." ”

When the boss heard this, he thought it was a big business, his slightly cloudy eyes lit up slightly, invited the two of them in, and said with a smile: "The two of you, please, if there are any specific requirements, let's talk about them in detail." ”

Lin Yi nodded and took Ji Qianmo in.

Lin Yi said his request, and the boss was very happy to hear it, and said: "Little girl, you need to use a lot of iron for this shelf, the price is not cheap, do you take this shelf home and put things?" If you put things, you don't need to use all iron, and some of them are more cost-effective to use wood. ”

The owner of this blacksmith shop is quite sincere, seeing that Lin Yi is young, he is afraid that the children will waste money, so he opened his mouth to remind.

Lin Yi smiled: "Boss, I didn't buy it and put it at home, you just do what I said to help me do it, how much does it cost to make this shelf?" How long will it take? ”

The blacksmith shop owner took out an abacus, calculated it carefully, and said, "This shelf costs a total of twenty taels of silver, and the time should be four or five days." ”

Lin Yi asked the owner of the blacksmith shop again how much iron he planned to use to make this iron frame.

The owner of the blacksmith shop said, Lin Yi pinched his fingers in his heart, frowned, and said: "Boss, according to your weight, the iron sheet of this bottom plate is a little thicker, I need to be thinner, um......"

Lin Yi stretched out his finger and said, "It's just the same thickness as this fingernail." ”

"So thin?" The blacksmith shop owner was suddenly a little embarrassed and said, "That's too difficult, I'm afraid it's not easy to do." ”

Lin Yi smiled: "There is always a first time in everything......

Lin Yi glanced at their shop and said, "Your blacksmith shop also has to keep improving its skills in order to keep up with the needs of customers!" ”

The owner of the blacksmith shop called the blacksmith outside in and asked him if Lin Yi's request could be met.

The iron master shook his head vigorously and said, "It's too thin to do, if you hit the blade, it's okay, after all, it's just such a blade, but this iron plate is so long, so wide, it's too difficult to get it." ”

Lin Yi was a little depressed in his heart, he couldn't go back to the county to find the master there, he was in a dilemma, the curtain was lifted, and a young man in Tsing Yi came out of it.

"Dad, this girl is right, our iron-making skills also need to be improved, so let's take over this business."

The young man's voice was clear, and his tone carried the momentum of a young man who was not afraid of tigers, his eyes were shining and he looked at Lin Yi, and said with a smile: "Girl, I took over this business for my father." ”
