Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 84
"Little basket, if you want to freeze it, Dad will freeze it with you, but if you can't freeze it, don't be discouraged, let's find a way."

Lan Erzhuang really felt that this matter would not work, but he was afraid of hurting his daughter's enthusiasm. Seeing her high spirits, Lan Erzhuang couldn't help but pour this basin of cold water, so he chose to follow her daughter's direction. Heart, he thought, even if it doesn't work out, why don't you still have him? He will comfort his daughter well, and help her find other ways. In short, he will definitely help her wish come true. However, at this moment, his mind was still a mess.
"Father, don't worry, it will definitely work, you have to trust me."

Seeing that her father is not optimistic about this matter, and seeing her worry, Lan Lingxue tightened her hand with her father to increase the credibility of her words,

"Well, trust my daughter."

Believe it or not, you have to go along first. Lan Erzhuang pushed open the door of the blacksmith's shop without hesitation.
"Is the shopkeeper here? Let me make an item."

Lan Erzhuang yelled towards the back room. In the workshop behind the house, there was a tinkling sound of iron smashing. , following Lan Erzhuang's shout, they opened in response.

A burly man walked out of the other door. In the cold weather, he only wore a single jacket, but was already drenched in sweat. Lan Lingxue couldn't help feeling respectful. Everyone who worked hard and worked hard, are all worthy of respect,
"Little girl, you are here again, what do you want to order today?"

Lan Erzhuang didn't expect that this guy was still familiar with his daughter, so he immediately became vigilant and took a step sideways, blocking her half body,

"We want to order several larger sinks, 1.5 meters long, half a meter wide and half a meter thick."

Lan Erzhuang said the request, and subconsciously drew the length and width of the slot with his hand,

"What to use, hollow or solid. Black iron or white iron."

The man in the blacksmith shop asked, and sure enough, he saw the man standing in front of him, and looked back at the little girl. It seemed that he was right, and it was the little girl who had the final say.
"Uncle Blacksmith, I'm here to trouble you again."

Lan Lingxue looked at her father standing in front of her. Although it was a little funny, there was also a warmth rippling in her heart. She tugged at her father's hand, signaling for herself to come.

"There is no trouble. You are here to take care of uncle's business. Uncle should thank you."

The master blacksmith thanked Lan Lingxue very kindly,

"Uncle, you are welcome. I want to order three larger sinks this time, because I want to hold drinking water, so I should use white iron."

In Lan Lingxue's heart, white iron is still suitable for drinking water. After all, when I was a child, I saw buckets carrying water in other people's houses, and they were all made of white iron.

"Okay, uncle will make it for you with white iron. How thick is it? Such a large sink is a bit heavy to fill with water. It's fine if you don't move it. If you need to move it, it should be stronger."

The master blacksmith asked very carefully. After all, this little girl ordered a lot of things last time. She should be a long-term customer. Such a customer must do her best.

"That's what I thought. Uncle, can you weld a handle on both ends of the iron tank for me, so that it will be easier to lift it."

Lan Lingxue signaled to the blacksmith uncle to install a wider handle on both sides of the length of the sink, so that it should be more convenient when pouring out the ice.
"You can make the thickness of the iron trough according to your needs. No interlayer is needed, but the premise is that it must be strong. I want to use it all the time."

But don't break it after two days of carrying it. If you always do this, it will be a waste of time.

"Don't worry, little girl, I promise to do a solid job for you. Are you still worried about uncle's work?"

The master blacksmith patted his chest and assured him that he was very confident in his craft,
"Then thank you uncle, how many days can I come to pick it up?"

It's okay not to mention playing, but Lan Lingxue was a little impatient when it came to customization.

"It will be done the day after tomorrow. I can type it out for you tomorrow. It's too late today, otherwise uncle will be busy working for you today."

Seeing the enthusiastic blacksmith, Lan Lingxue laughed,
"Then can it be typed at this time tomorrow?"

Lan Lingxue was thinking, if this time can be typed out, then let Uncle Meng send someone to pick it up, and he can help take it home the next morning.

"Yes, it can be typed out for sure. Don't worry, little girl, I will prepare it for you and wait."

It's just a tin trough, and it doesn't take much effort. It's just that those few hands take a little trouble, but it's not a big problem.

"Then uncle will worry about it. Please write me a note. I will ask the people from Fulu Restaurant to pick up the goods the day after tomorrow. I won't come over. They will help me send the sink home."

Hearing that people from Fulu Restaurant came to pick up the goods, the master blacksmith couldn't help but take another look at the little girl. This is the top restaurant in the town. I heard that the owner behind him has a lot of background. She has a connection with a high-end restaurant, and she is so careless. It really can't be underestimated. Thanks to myself, I have never judged people by their appearance. Looking at the clothes she is wearing, although they are new, they are obviously not very good. No embroidery, beads, etc., is it a hidden one?The master blacksmith was a little scared, and his attitude was obviously more respectful.

"I'll write you a note right now, and I'll definitely prepare it for you. You just need to send someone to pick it up."

He walked quickly to the back of the counter and wrote a note carefully. Because he didn't know many characters, the master blacksmith didn't write much, but he was very serious.
"Hey, do you think it's okay?"

Handed over the note, Lan Lingxue took it over and looked at it, every stroke was clearly written, she nodded secretly in her heart, from the sudden use of honorifics by the blacksmith just now, Lan Lingxue could tell Well, the name of the Fulu Restaurant is very useful. When I was in the restaurant, I was thinking about when to borrow it, but I didn't realize it, and I was pretending to be powerful.

After paying the money, he walked out of the blacksmith shop with his father, and the two of them went back to shopkeeper Meng.
"Why did you come back again? What happened?"

Hearing Xiaoer's greeting, shopkeeper Meng came out to greet them personally, and let the two of them in.

"We won't go in, Uncle Meng, I have something to trouble you."

Lan Lingxue wanted to leave as soon as she finished speaking, after all, it was getting late,
"You're being polite, tell me."

Meng Fansheng didn't bother with their father and daughter, which made Lan Lingxue feel at ease.
"I ordered three iron troughs at the blacksmith's shop. Here are the notes. You can ask a little brother to pick them up for me tomorrow. I will bring them there in the morning after tomorrow. The iron troughs are a bit big. It’s inconvenient without a car.”

"It's just such a small matter, you still have to be polite to Uncle, it's easy to do."

Lan Lingxue stopped being polite to him, and put the note into Meng Fansheng's hand,

"Then my father and I will go back. See you, Uncle Meng."

"Goodbye, Miss Lan."

Lan Erzhuang also hugged Meng Fansheng, and led his daughter away again. Looking at the backs of the father and daughter, Meng Fansheng took a deep breath, his hands were slow, such a clever little girl, unexpectedly I was preempted by the millet shop, and I was a university student at the time, but it was too late to say anything, and there was no room for regret.

When I got home, it was already dark, this winter is irresistible, the days are too short to live, Lan Lingxue murmured to herself, and rushed into the house,

"Mom, I'm back."

Lin Qiutang came out to greet her, saw her daughter enter the door, hurriedly covered her little face with her hands, and muttered distressedly,
"Look at it's freezing, why don't you know to come back early, once you let it out, you won't be free."

While talking, he pulled the girl into the room, and put her directly on the kang,
"Hurry up and keep warm."

"Mom, Dad is freezing too."

Seeing that her mother only cares about herself and doesn't care about her father, her resentful expression makes Lan Lingxue feel a little happy in her heart. After all, it is her own, and her father has to be in the back.

"I don't care about him, the skin is rough and the flesh is cold. Who told him not to feel sorry for my daughter? In such a cold day, Qingqing took her for a day."

He was reluctant, and after he settled his daughter down, he dragged his man to sit on the kang, and Lan Erzhuang was cured by the warmth of the kang.

"Mom, Dad and I have business to do, otherwise why would we come back so late."

Seeing my mother busy coming and going, I took the hot water brought by my mother, and pulled her over to sit down,

"I know, I know, mother is just saying something for nothing."

My daughter defends her father, how can I be unhappy as a mother, my daughter is sensible,
"Mom, guess how much you earned today?"

Knowing that mother is most interested in money, she used to be afraid of being poor, but now that life is getting better, she is always worried about going back. As the head of the family, Lan Lingxue understands mother's feelings the most.
"How many?"

Sure enough, when the girl asked this question, she knew that she had made a lot of money. Lin Qiutang was full of joy,
"Hey, show your mother."

Lan Lingxue took out the banknotes she got today from the space,
"Why so many?"

Although I can't read, Lin Qiutang has seen the banknotes before. When my daughter received the banknotes last time, she showed them to herself. Now she knows that this is 100 taels of silver, and gold is expensive.
"There will be more to come."

Seeing her mother's eyes sparkling with excitement, Lan Lingxue was also very proud. Her original wish had been fulfilled, and her family had escaped the lowest level of poverty. Next, they will move towards prosperity step by step.

"Mom, it's almost the Chinese New Year. This year we have money in our hands, so we have to spend a good New Year. Don't feel bad about the money. We should buy food and drink at home, and change the inside and outside. Let's replace them with good ones. New, this is the first year our family has moved out, the more lively and prosperous it is, the more we buy, the more prosperous the new year will be."
