As soon as I opened my eyes, I was dressed as a stepmother of two bear children

Chapter 174 Gu Jingyao, the Blacksmith
The summer solstice has not yet arrived, Mozhou is green, and the place where people live near mountains and rivers is laughing and laughing, more like a tribe, men farming and women weaving, happy and carefree.

"Yue'er, send this food box to your father." Qiu Yeli said and handed the things in her hand to the little daughter beside her.

"Mother, your belly is already so big that it's scary, so don't cook by yourself anymore"

Li Xiaoyue responded, threw away the small yellow flower bud in her hand, frowned, pursed her lips and said.

Qiu Yeli chuckled, "Then you will do it?"

Li Xiaoyue pursed her lips, and quickly took the food box, "My mother, I will be filial to you and my father when I learn how to cook! Mother has worked hard!"

The voice was long and drawn out, and it disappeared in a flash.

"Slow down, be careful not to break the food box!" Qiu Yeli laughed, and said helplessly at the top of her voice.

"Don't worry! Daddy won't be starved!" Li Xiaoyue waved her hands at her with her short short legs and disappeared from sight.

"This little living monkey." Qiu Yeli shook her head with a smile, and walked towards the inner room with her waist supported.

Ever since the discovery of iron ore, Gu Jingyao led everyone to search for this method of purification. Fortunately, the blacksmith Zuozhi, everything went well. With iron raw materials, weapons can be made. This is undoubtedly a big deal for Mozhou at the moment good news.

In the temporary shop on the side of the street, a group of men wearing bunt shirts and shiny dark skin gathered around, looking at something intently, and discussing something in whispers from time to time, the man in the middle stood tall, dressed in white The long gown and handsome appearance are particularly eye-catching.

"Daddy!"

A crisp sound of milk sounded, and everyone looked up, with smiles on their faces, "Miss Yue is here!"

"Hello, uncles!" Li Xiaoyue smiled and showed her small white teeth. Her rare and cute appearance aroused the joy of everyone, and there was another laugh.

"Yue'er." Gu Jingyao put down the iron ore in his hand and walked out of the crowd.

"Daddy! Mother asked me to deliver lunch!" The little girl said with a smile as she put the food box aside.

Gu Jingyao nodded, and then said, "Everyone has worked hard, let's finish lunch first and then go to work."

"okay!"

"I wonder what delicious food Mrs. Gu cooked today?"

Everyone gathered around and stretched their necks to look in the direction of the food box. Gu Jingyao laughed and opened the food box without hesitation, but the ordinary vegetables and fresh meat looked very appetizing and made people move their index fingers.

Gu Jingyao never minded sharing with them, but within a few days, he has become one with them, and even called them brothers and sisters. They were already indebted to Gu Jingyao, so they enshrined him like a god, listened to his errands and rejoiced.

Li Xiaoyue looked proudly at the food, and the satisfied people pinched their waists and said, Mother's Tianxiangju used to be the number one restaurant in the capital city, and its cooking skills are even better than the best chefs. !

"The grilled fish is tender and delicious without any fishy smell. I really want to know how Mrs. Gu cooks it, so that my mother-in-law can learn from it too!"

A simple-looking, dark-skinned man said with a smile.

"Come on, I heard that Mrs. Gu created all the cuisines at Tianxiangju in Kyoto, and her cooking skills are natural, not to mention that your wife won't let you cook for her!"

The other smiled and waved his hand, joking loudly, everyone knew that Hei Zi was a well-guarded wife.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter, and Heizi scratched his head in embarrassment, but did not refute.

Gu Jingyao smiled but said nothing, but the proud look on his face was filled with joy, as if the delicacy was made by himself.

After dinner, everyone started to strike iron again. Gu Jingyao drove Li Xiaoyue home to look after Qiu Yeli, who reluctantly pouted and retorted in a low voice that Xiao Xiao was at home, what was the matter with her, and finally went back obediently .

"Master, what do you think of the purity?"

Han Xiujin pulled Gu Jingyao aside, looked at the newly purified molten iron, and spoke seriously.

Gu Jingyao pursed her lips and nodded, "Yes."

They have already mastered the method of iron smelting. The amount of iron ore in the back mountain is extremely large, and there are still undiscovered places, which are supposed to be enough to make weapons and other things.

Everyone's enthusiasm is high, and more and more proficient craftsmanship means that less and less raw materials are wasted. This is undoubtedly good news, and they are more motivated.

The first iron sword was cast, which was inspiring. Gu Jingyao was hung on the beam with a red rope, representing their efforts and success.

Gu Jingyao pushed open the door of the small courtyard under the moonlight. The candlelight in the house was dim, and the side courtyards on both sides were pitch black. Presumably the two little girls had already rested.

"Squeak~" The wooden door was pushed open, and the woman's gentle and caring side face showed a smile against the candlelight, "I'm back! I have prepared bath water for you."

"Well, what are you doing?"

Gu Jingyao responded, and walked in front of her, his eyes full of tenderness.

"Sew tiger-toed shoes for the little guy, look, do they look good?" Qiu Yeli smiled and lifted up the small and delicate shoes in her hand. Under the candlelight, the cute little tiger totem came to life.

"It's beautiful." Gu Jingyao embraced her from behind, put his chin on the crest of her neck, and sprayed hot breath on her ear, and her heart throbbed strangely.

"What's the matter? Are you a little tired?" Qiu Yeli put down her needle and thread, turned around and looked at his slightly sunken cheeks, even though she was thinking of making various meals for him every day, she was still a little thin.

"With you guys here, I'm not tired." Gu Jingyao shook his head, looking at her dotingly, love seemed to overflow from his eyes.

Suddenly hearing such provocative words, Qiu Yeli turned her head a little embarrassed, suddenly remembered something, pointed to the desk and said, "By the way, a carrier pigeon landed in front of the courtyard today with letters tied to its feet. I took it off and put it on over there."

Gu Jingyao frowned slightly, then stood up and walked over, and soon found the note, his brow furrowed suddenly, and then gradually smoothed out.

"What's the matter? Did something happen in the capital?" Qiu Yeli frowned, and said worriedly, she denied the possibility just after speaking, how could the carrier pigeons from Kyoto fly to this Mozhou? Died on the way.

Sure enough, Gu Jingyao shook his head, "It's the news from Meng Qi,"

Qiu Yeli nodded clearly, yes, Meng Qi was sent out by Gu Jingyao to inquire about the news.

"Monkey has found out that there is a small country in the south of Mozhou, called Ni Jia Country, which is rich in supplies and has a lot of people."

"Ni Jiaguo." Qiu Yeli repeated, then stretched his brows and smiled, "Maybe we can trade with them! Although Mozhou is not as barren as imagined, it is not a land of prosperity after all. The people's growing material and cultural needs and There will definitely be conflicts between backward production, and the opening of a mutual market is a good way out."
