Su Qingluan walked out of the door. The morning fog had gradually dissipated, and the golden sunlight was falling down like pieces of bright yarn.
"Sister!" Su Xueyan pointed happily in the air, "Look! The overpass!"
When Su Qingluan heard this, she wondered: Are there overpasses in this era?
Following the direction of my sister's gaze, I suddenly realized: It turned out to be a rainbow.
Isn't it a "overpass" in mid-air?
"Sister, did you say there are fairies on the bridge?" the little girl asked yearningly.
Unable to bear to expose the child's innocent fantasy, Su Qingluan touched her sister's hair: "Maybe? But I haven't seen a fairy either."
"But the fairy must be as beautiful as my sister!" The little girl turned to look at her.
Hey, is this little mouth covered in honey?
Su Qingluan said that she was pleased.
At this time, Yang lifted the curtain and came out with a smile: "Seeing that the fog is about to dissipate, do you want to go to the back mountain to collect mushrooms together?"
After a rain is a good time to pick mushrooms. Mushrooms like to be dark and moist, so they often appear in large numbers after a rain.
Su Qingluan felt excited: pure wild fungi of this era! That is a "mountain treasure" that requires a high price to enjoy in modern times!
For the two children, picking mushrooms meant going out for fun. They cheered and hurriedly prepared small backpacks for picking mushrooms.
At this time, Yang walked up to Su Qingluan and said with a smile: "Da Ya, please stretch out your hand."
Su Qingluan didn't know why, so she stretched out her hand. Yang turned her palm upward and put something in her palm.
Su Qingluan took a closer look and saw that it was a purse embroidered with lotus flowers.
A look of surprise appeared on her face: "Auntie, why did you give me your money bag?"
I weighed it gently and found it still had some weight.
Mrs. Yang smiled and said: "Since our family opened this burrito stall, we have saved some money. Your father and I discussed it last night, and you have a quick mind and dexterous hands, so that you can control the kitchen area. Make a name for yourself.”
Mrs. Yang gently patted her eldest daughter on the shoulder: "You earned this money with your own ability. Your father and I left five taels of silver for emergencies. For the rest, don't you want to buy an iron pot or something? Just go ahead. buy it!"
"Mother..." It was Su Guangfu just now, and now it was Yang. The emotion that Su Qingluan had suppressed resurfaced, to the point where she choked.
"Hey, why are you still crying?" Mrs. Yang lovingly wiped her daughter's tears.
"I'm...just, happy..." Su Qingluan snuggled into Yang's arms, and for the first time she truly felt that although she had traveled to a strange era, she was really happy to have such a pair of parents.
"Stop being such a spoiled brat, the two little ones will laugh at you later!" Yang joked.
Su Qingluan was also a little stunned, and quickly gathered her emotions and looked at Yang: "Then... I'll go to the iron shop in the town to have a look!"
I probably can't buy an iron pot with the more than ten taels of silver I have on hand.
But it’s also good to have a sharp metal kitchen knife! Su Qingluan thought happily.
"You have to come back before Shen Shi!" Yang warned with a face full of warning.
Thinking of returning home late yesterday, Su Qingluan stuck out her tongue and begged for mercy: "A gentleman's word, a quick whip!"
Yang sneered: "What kind of 'gentleman' are you?"
Su Qingluan looked at the sky, breathed in the fresh earthy smell after the rain, and accelerated her pace to the town.
The voices of family members gradually grew distant from behind.
"What did sister do?"
"Sister, you are going to town. Let's go pick mushrooms too..."
The human voice faded away and soon could not be heard.
The mountain road after the rain was muddy and slippery, so Su Qingluan had to walk very carefully.
Therefore, even though she was walking very fast, it was already noon when she reached the town.
Fortunately, I had been to the blacksmith shop last time. When the blacksmith saw Su Qingluan, his dark and bearded face smiled with white teeth: "Little lady, we meet again?"
"Master, can I take a look again?"
"You can take a look at it as you like!" the blacksmith said, his hand still working on the iron, "It's just that this iron tool is not cheap."
Su Qingluan understood that in this era, iron smelting technology was far less mature than modern times, the cost was high, and not many people mastered the technology itself.
Most of the iron weapons were monopolized by the government's army. To be sure, there are not many blacksmiths among the people.
According to Su Guangfu, among the villages and towns in ten miles and eight towns, there is only one blacksmith shop like Lefeng Town.
Therefore, if a neighboring village really wanted to make ironware, they would come here.
Su Qingluan walked around the blacksmith shop twice and suddenly had an idea and asked: "Master, do you pay for this iron according to the amount of iron used?"
"It also has something to do with the shape." The blacksmith explained, "Even if the same amount of iron is used, if the shape process is complicated and requires multiple forgings, shaping and quenching, it will be more expensive."
Su Qingluan nodded: This is the so-called "production cost", just like modern gold and silver jewelry. The more complex the shape, the more additional costs will be in addition to the gold and silver price.
Su Qingluan weighed the purse in her hand and asked the price carefully. Suddenly an idea came to her: "Master, can you make something as I told you?"
When Su Qingluan got what she wanted, it was already too late. She looked at the sun: It was still too late!
Moreover, after being exposed to the sun at noon, the mud on the road has dried up a lot, so I think I can go back on time.
Why……
Looking at the new items in his hands, Su Qingluan sighed and murmured to himself: "In order to buy new equipment, it's worth getting scolded again."
What's more, Yang's isn't even a knife--even if it is a knife, it's just a toy knife that scares people.
Thinking like this, Su Qingluan couldn't help but smile on her face and accelerated her pace home.
However, he never expected that Su Qingluan would see a familiar figure on the path ahead just halfway through the journey.
"That man looks like daddy..." she whispered softly.
When the man walked in, Su Qingluan opened his mouth in surprise: It was really Su Guangfu! !
"Dad?!" Su Qingluan asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
She looked at the sky and said with a guilty conscience: "It's still early..."
Su Guangfu walked up to her and said, "Your mother is afraid that it will rain again later and you will get caught in the cold. Let me pick you up." He pointed to the oilcloth umbrella on his back.
"Didn't Grandma go collecting mushrooms with her younger brothers and sisters..." Su Qingluan complained in a low voice: Her father is really...
"Ahem!" The lie was easily exposed. Su Guangfu felt that he couldn't get off the stage, so he quickly looked around and said, "Go back quickly! It's too late for your mother to worry again!"
As he said that, he looked left and right and asked, "Where's the kitchen knife you bought? Dad will hold it for you. That thing is not light."
Su Qingluan turned back, revealing what was carried behind her back.
Su Guangfu opened his eyes wide in surprise: "What is this?"
