farmer's daughter

Chapter 59 So Is My Dad Working Here?
Chapter 59 Is my father working here?

Liang Zhongqiu took the two children and turned left.Seeing that the two children were looking around, Liang Zhongqiu did not urge them.Shen Xuejian followed for nearly 200 meters, and the street was almost over. Anyway, it felt that there were fewer shops and fewer people.Finally, I saw a flag hanging in front of a shop in front of it with an iron character written on it, and there was a small Niujia in the lower right corner.Shen Xue has arrived at the destination she guessed.Sure enough, Liang Zhongqiu brought them to the shop.

The shop is dark, except for the door.The other three walls were smoked very black.On the left side of the shop is a large water tank, and the water in it doesn't look very clean.On the right is a large stove, which is not the same as the stove used for cooking in the country.The door opening of this stove is larger.Now the stove is still roaringly burning, and a few iron objects are inserted into the door opening and burning inside.In the middle of the room was a big square stone, on which there was an incomprehensible black thing, and on it was a red-burning iron shovel-like thing that was still smoking.

There was an old man with a gray beard.Because of being roasted by the fire for many years, his face was black and red, and his arms were bare.Like a Tibetan wearing a Tibetan robe, he is wielding a big hammer in his right hand and is beating the shovel vigorously.The sound of dong dong dong is very regular.

The old man found someone coming at the door, put down the hammer in his hand, and conveniently put the red-hot shovel into a ditch and put it away.Then he walked over and said with a smile:
"Hey, Village Chief Liang. You haven't been here for a long time. What do you want to do today?"

Liang Zhongqiu didn't say anything else first, he just looked up at the room and said with a smile:

"Old Niu, you are the best blacksmith in this town. Look at your endless business."

The old cow smiled naively, rubbed his hand on the half of the clothes tied around his waist, pointed to the burning in the stove and the few incomplete iron tools scattered around the water tank and said:
"It's all the villagers who value it. I just give them supplements and they can still use it. This new one is a waste. Who hasn't been poor?"

Hearing this, Xue Jian respected the old man.A businessman who forges iron should have persuaded others to forge new ones, so that he can make more money.This old man is good, he can make up for what others have worn out.

Liang Zhongqiu nodded, opened a cloth bag in his hand and said:
"I'm here to find you for something. See if you can make an iron out of this thing."

As he spoke, he took out the model.After the old cow took it, he looked at it with some incomprehension and said:
"What is this for?"

Liang Zhongqiu said with a smile:
"The idea that my little granddaughter came up with is that it is made of iron and filled with red-hot charcoal, which can be used to iron the fabric. Isn't this the child's clothes that will wrinkle after washing? They came up with the idea themselves. I Just let them take a look, see if you can do it, is it feasible?"

The old cow looked at that thing.A little surprised and asked:

"Is this the child?"

Liang Zhongqiu patted Xue Jian's head and said:

"That's right. This child came up with it. They tried it at home. Our iron ladle tried it, and it really works! It's the flat-bottomed iron ladle you gave me last time."

The old cow looked at the wood and said:
"I can't believe this is what a child came up with? It's really good. Okay, I can do it."

I heard Lao Niu say that it can be done.Xuejian was also very happy, she took a step forward and said:

"Grandpa Niu, this bottom must not be thin, it will turn red easily. It will scald your clothes. You can't use iron for this handle, it can soak your hands. You can only use wood. And this shelf, it must be placed flat."

The old cow played with the things in his hand and said:

"Well, good reminder. I really thought about it carefully."

Xue Jian looked smug.This is what a child should be like.Xuejian said sweetly:
"Grandpa Niu, you can't tell others. I told grandpa. We tried to use it, and we will call and sell it from you."

The old cow was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly and said:
"Cun Zhang Liang, your granddaughter is a doll in Qianqian's eyes."

Turning his head to see Xue again, he said:
"Okay, I won't tell others. I just showed it to others. They don't know what it's for. Wait for you to use it. Come and call me, and I'll call you to sell it!"

Lao Niu disassembled them one by one in front of his face, and then put them back together, saying:
"Okay, I know how to do it. Get it in three days. I still have a lot of things here. Don't you want to harvest it? They are all in urging."

"Okay, we're not in a hurry. You get busy first."

Village head Liang also knew that it was the farm tools that every family was preparing for the autumn harvest.Lao Niu must be busy here.Then he left with the two children.

Turning around, Village Chief Liang said with a smile:

"Now I have some time, I can take you to see it. What do you want to see?"

"Anything to see?"

Chengwen asked.

Village head Liang was taken aback, and said with a smile:

"Oh, there's really nothing to see. But when you come to the town, you can see that there are many people and things for sale, but you can see the excitement."

"Then is my father working here?"

Xue Jian raised her face and asked.

Village head Liang nodded and said:
"This town is actually only separated by a river from the county seat. We are in the south, and there is a river to the north. The town is on this side of the river, and the county seat is on the other side of the river. So it is easy to manage. The county government has established a The person in charge is here. Because your father is from this side, he works here."

All right, Xue Jian understands.It is equivalent to the county government setting up an office here.Also managed the town. "Come on, plug in from here, you can see where your father works, but I don't know he's not here now."

Village head Liang led Chengwen up a street.Xuejian also took his brother's other hand and followed.There are not many shops on the upper street, most of them are inns and teahouses. If you walk a little further, you will see a pair of big stone lions. There is also a small dam in front of the door. It is very deserted, but grandpa said that is where Daddy went bad place.

Because his father is a small yamen servant, not a catcher, but Xuejian still wants to take a serious look at the door, whether it is the legendary six doors.I couldn't help but snickered in my heart.But it is disappointing, there are only two open doors, which are only a little bigger than the average family.

Walking to the door, there was a thin servant standing at the door.Liang Zhongqiu stepped forward to inquire:
"Brother, may I ask if Shen Sanzhu is here today?"

"Who are you? Find out what he does?"

Liang Zhongqiu said with a smile:
"I'm his father-in-law, so it's okay to inquire about him. His child is playing at my house, and I brought it to the town to buy things and passed by here, so inquire about him."

"Oh, this is Sanzhu's child, he's so beautiful. He's not here today, he's gone to work in the county seat. He probably won't be back in the afternoon. Let's see if he can come back tomorrow."

"Oh, okay, it's all right. Excuse me. Let's go shopping again. My brother is invited."

Liang Zhongqiu cupped his hands and thanked him.Turning around and looking at the two children, he said:

"Let's go, let's go to the third uncle's place now, I'm afraid grandma has already cooked. Chengwen, do you want me to recite it?"

"I can still go."
