Chapter 125 Floatable pig urine bubble

Half an hour later, the skin was almost peeled off, with only the four hooves sticking to it.

At this time, the thin and tall man appeared again. Seeing that Wen Shu hadn't left, he hurriedly walked over with a smile and said, "Little lady, please ask Brother Han to peel the skin. It should be useful. I don't know if I need to nitrate it? I'm not good at it, just now." It's a cobbler, if you can trust me, my lady, just leave it to me to make it. I promise you that it will be tanned without any peculiar smell and strong, and the asking price is not too high. For a piece of leather like this, the lady will give you two hundred cash. "

Wen Shu was startled, then thought about the news he had heard, and couldn't help but ask, "Master, what's your name?"

"My surname is Wu, you can just call me Wu Er, my little lady."

What a coincidence!
She had previously found out that the tanner near here was also named Wu, and he was also a member of Xingwu. Could it be the one in front of her?
just
"I wonder how long it will take Master Wu to tan a piece of leather?"

Hearing this, Wu Er squatted down, touched Meng Huai's skin, and frowned after a while: "Hey, this skin is much harder than ordinary pig's skin, and I'm afraid it won't work in four or five days."

Upon hearing this, Wen Shu immediately dismissed the idea of ​​letting him cook.The eldest girl can say that if there is no accident, she will leave for Beijing tomorrow, and she can't wait for five days.

Forget it, let's take it back to Bianliang and do it again.

"I really want to give Master Wu a shot, but I'm leaving Cangzhou in two days, and I can't wait five days."

Wu Er was a little disappointed, he thought he could win a business, but unexpectedly he was in a hurry.

However, he really can't shorten this time. If he wants to ripen a good leather, one step, one soaking, two scraping, three flushing, four kneading and five shade drying, is indispensable.

Although he really wanted to earn this money, he would not forcefully reduce the steps and ruin his own brand.

"Father, father." Just as Wu Er was about to say goodbye, a seven or eight-year-old boy came bouncing up from the other side of the alley.

Seeing this, Wu Er scolded with a smile: "Why are you here, kid, hurry up and go home."

"I don't." The little boy twisted his body, and said to the youngest Han: "Uncle Han, do you still have pig urine bubbles in your house? Give me two."

"Nonsense! You, Uncle Han, want to keep and sell pig urine soaked in it. What do you want it for?"

"Floating water, brother Shunzi from my aunt's house said, let me go to his house in summer, and he will take me to floating water."

"Listen to him talking nonsense. How old is he? He didn't take good care of himself and led you to float in the water. If you drown, your mother will cry to death."

"No, brother Shunzi said, his family has grown a lot of gourds, and when the time comes, tie a few around his waist to make a waist boat, so he won't be afraid of drowning."

"Then just ask him to pull a few gourds for you."

Hearing this, the little boy made a bitter face, "I don't know how stingy Brother Shunzi's nanny is, let alone a few gourds, she is reluctant to part with even half of them. Dad, just help me make two pig urine clubs." , I am small, two are enough."

Wu Er laughed angrily: "You can do it as you like. Uncle Han wants to keep the pig urine and sell it for money. I don't have the money to buy it for you. Let's go and go home. What kind of water do children play with?" .”

Here, Wu Er grabbed the boy's clothes and went home, but Wen Shu's eyes sparkled.

That's right, why didn't she think of that!She can't swim, but she can use external force!
The gourd and pig urine bubble that Xiao Tong just mentioned are good external forces. After the pig urine bubble is washed and blown in enough air, it will bulge.At that time, as long as she tied a few to her body, she would not be afraid of being accidentally teleported into the river and drowned.

Immediately asked with a smile: "Master Han, do you have pig urine bubbles in your house? If you have any, sell me some."

Han Laosan was peeling off the last bit of skin from his leg, he was taken aback when he heard this, and then teased: "What is the little lady doing with pig urine foam, why is she floating in the water like the boy just now?"

Wen Shu smiled: "It is useful for other purposes, does Master Han have it here?"

Han Laosan nodded: "I have saved up a few, and I thought I would send them to the pharmacy tomorrow. I don't know how much the young lady wants."

Wen Shu thought about the little boy who said that two would be enough for him, but he was probably half as heavy as him, so he said at least four, but it's not safe, it's better to buy more.

"How many masters does Han have?"

"Seven or eight pairs."

"Then I want it all, how much?"

Han Laosan was stunned: "Originally, it was five Wen each, but the lady wants more, so I can give you a cheaper price."

Saying that, he put the peeled skin aside, got up and went back to the inner courtyard to take out a bamboo basket, and put seven pieces of pig urine foam in the frame.

"These are all cleaned and sun-dried, and there are still two that were taken out this morning inside, and I haven't had time to clean them up yet. Do you want them, little lady?"

"No need." Wen Shu smiled: "This is enough."

joke!Uncleaned pig urine stinks, why is she here?Besides, according to her weight, seven should be enough.

After paying the wages for soaking and skinning the pigs, Wen Shu couldn't help but feel a little headache when he looked at Meng Huai on the ground.

"That. Master Han, you still accept pigs."

When Han Laosan heard it, he immediately understood: "Little lady wants to sell this pork to me?"

Wen Shu nodded repeatedly.

Han Laosan thought for a moment, wondering: "Little lady, this pig is a bit strange, for the sake of the sign, Han is not too afraid to ask for it."

When he just peeled the skin, he discovered a strange problem. When Wu's second child came to talk, he accidentally shook his hand. If it was an ordinary pig skin, he fiddled with it and poked a hole.

But the skin of this "weird" pig was not damaged at all.

As a person who has dealt with livestock all the year round, he felt inexplicably that this pig was unusual, so he couldn't guarantee whether the meat could be eaten or whether it would cause problems.

Seeing that he didn't want it, Wen Shu was slightly disappointed, but after thinking about it, she could understand his thoughts. After all, although Meng Huai looked like a pig, she was still different from a pig, not to mention the red and invulnerable fur. Even the fangs in the mouth are different from those of ordinary domestic pigs.

"Does Master Han have a small cart? Can you borrow it? I will definitely return it within half an hour." Although her words were a question, her eyes had already turned to the cart in the corner of the courtyard.

Seeing her gaze, Han Laosan knew he couldn't hide it, so he could only nod and push the car out of the yard.Then he carried the pigs into the cart for her, but just as he lifted the two pigs back, he was stunned.

Because he can't move it, usually he needs to work with others to move a two-hundred-pound pig to the slaughterhouse, but now this one.
Looking at the pig that weighed about three to four hundred catties on the ground, he looked at Wen Shu in front of him with a complicated expression. This pig needs three or four people to lift it, and the little lady in front of him carried it so easily.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.

Seeing his embarrassment, Wen Shuren smiled and bent down, holding the pig's front leg in one hand and the pig's hind leg in the other.Then his waist sank, and he lifted his arms up vigorously, throwing Meng Huai onto the cart.

This scene made Han Laosan both surprised and ashamed.
