Not long after he left the house, the short and fat yamen servant's eyes rolled around a few times, and he said with a smile:

"Captain Bao, you said you wanted to keep two government servants at Brother Lin's house. How about you keep the two of us?"

"Yeah, look at the two of us, our martial arts are not very good, and we can't help much in the yamen. But it's enough to protect one person."

The tall and thin government servant also hurriedly agreed after hearing this.

Not only did Lin Xiaofan have less to do here, but he also had meat to eat and public grain. Where could he find such good things?

"Go, go, I've reserved these two places for Song Shang and Tian Yu, so don't get involved."

The leader laughed and cursed and kicked each of them.

Although these two people are capable, well-mannered, and have some sense of justice in their hearts, they always want to be lazy.

……

After the meal, Lin Xiaofan and Liu Yanyan carried a hundred kilograms of food and headed to Li San's home.

Li San is a blacksmith, and there will definitely be many uses for Li San in the future. This hundred kilograms of grain can be regarded as a win over.

Besides, Li San often helped himself before, and the total amount of food he gave was definitely more than one hundred taels of food.

As usual, the door to Li San's house was left open, and Lin Xiaofan and Liu Yanyan walked in directly.

"Xiaofan, you're here."

Li San happened to be out of work, so he came out to greet him. It was Lin Xiaofan and his wife who came and asked with a smile.

"Uncle Third, have you eaten?"

Lin Xiaofan and Liu Yanyan carried the food into the courtyard.

Li San took the food and suddenly felt something was wrong.

This bag is estimated to weigh fifty kilograms. Then these two bags probably weigh 100 kilograms each.

But what shocked him even more was that last month, Lin Xiaofan's family was still impoverished. This month, you can already put out hundreds of kilograms of grain?

Looking at the two of them again, Lin Xiaofan was much stronger than last time, and his face was no longer pale, but had some healthy rosiness.

Liu Yanyan next to her was also more graceful, with a faint smile on her face.

A relieved smile appeared on Li San's face. It seemed that this kid was doing well recently.

But this food was sent a little too much.

"Xiao Fan, I came to my uncle's place and brought so much food. It's so outrageous. You'd better take this food back first and use it for emergencies in the future."

Lin Xiaofan put down the food, wiped the sweat from his face, and said:

"Third uncle, don't refuse in a hurry. I came to you today because I have something to ask of you."

After hearing this, Li San asked with a serious face:

"Xiao Fan, tell me what to do, uncle will definitely help you. We won't need the food, you can keep it for now."

Asking Lin Xiaofan to come up with hundreds of taels of grain was probably not an easy task for him.

However, Lin Xiaofan is the son of his late brother, so he will definitely help no matter how difficult it is.

Seeing Li San's serious face, Lin Xiaofan realized that there was a misunderstanding and explained:

"Uncle Third, it's not a big deal, I just want you to make some bamboo tubes."

Lin Xiaofan thought over and over again and felt that wooden boxes were too troublesome to make and were far less convenient than bamboo tubes.

Li San breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's just some bamboo tubes. It's not a big deal. There's no need to give away so many. I'll make them for you first, as much as you want."

He thought that Lin Xiaofan had caused some big trouble, so he came to beg him with a heavy gift.

Lin Xiaofan thought for a while and said:

"A few hundred. Of course, I will pay for these."

Li San was stunned for a moment after hearing the number, but quickly waved his hand:

"With this relationship between us, what kind of compensation should we pay? Besides, it's just a few hundred bamboo tubes. At my uncle's speed, it can be finished in two days at most."

Once winter comes, there will be far fewer people coming to make iron tools, and they will have time to make bamboo tubes.

"That won't work, uncle. Although we have a good relationship, we need to calculate the money clearly. Besides, I will build a lot of things in the future. I may build thousands of bamboo tubes alone in the coming year. Is it possible that I will make you a coolie for them all? What?"

Lin Xiaofan would definitely not let Li Sanbai work.

"This..." Li San hesitated.

If that is the case, it will indeed affect his business.

"Third uncle, even if you are willing, I still feel sorry for you! Just pay a penny for each bamboo tube. Don't refuse."

Lin Xiaofan proposed the reward.

After hearing this, Li San immediately refused:

"That's not possible, the price is too high."

Bamboo tubes are much easier to make than wooden boxes. At his speed, if he works hard, he can make two to three hundred in a day.

He only earns [-] cents from a normal day's work. Two or three hundred bamboo tubes are equivalent to two or three hundred coins.

Moreover, Lin Xiaofan had always been impoverished before, but now his family's conditions were better. How could he be willing to let Lin Xiaofan pay himself a few hundred coins?

By the way, what does Lin Xiaofan need a bamboo tube for?

Li San suddenly felt doubtful and couldn't help asking:

"Uncle, let me ask you, what do you want with so many bamboo tubes and wooden boxes?"

These small wooden boxes can't even hold larger jewelry, so what's the use?

There was also that thing called a juicer. Although it was magical, he couldn't figure out what it was for.

Lin Xiaofan thought for a while, Li San was not an outsider, so there was no harm in telling him.

"Uncle Third, I won't hide it from you. I recently discovered how to make hemostatic medicine. These wooden boxes are used to hold hemostatic medicine."

Hearing the hemostatic medicine, Li San showed a look of shock on his face.

"What? Do you have a new prescription for stopping bleeding?"

He joined the army for six years and worked as a blacksmith for four years. He still knew the value of hemostatic medicine.

Hemostatic drugs are often in short supply on the battlefield, and now there are none at all in various counties and towns.

If these wooden boxes were used to store hemostatic medicine, Lin Xiaofan might have made hundreds of taels of silver.

Moreover, Lin Xiaofan said that he would make hundreds of wooden tubes for himself, which meant that he still had hundreds of hemostatic medicines in hand.

Even if it is calculated as one tael of silver per share, it is still hundreds of taels of silver, which an ordinary person cannot spend all in a lifetime.

Thinking of Lin Xiaofan making a lot of money, he looked a little excited.

Lin Xiaofan's father, Lin Kaicheng, told him before he died that he would entrust Lin Xiaofan to him.

He also promised Lin Kaicheng that if Lin Xiaofan was still alive, he would definitely feed him.

When he just came back from the battlefield, Lin Xiaofan was so hungry that he fainted at home.

He gave Lin Xiaofan food, cooked it and fed it one bite at a time, and then he rescued the person.

Lin Xiaofan was young and had been sick all year round, unable to work in bed, so he was the one who sent food every month.

He originally thought that if Lin Xiaofan continued like this, he would support Lin Xiaofan for the rest of his life. After all, you can make a lot of money by forging your own iron, so raising a person is not stressful.

But now he learned that Lin Xiaofan was promising and had earned hundreds of taels of silver in just a few days.

Thinking of this, Li San felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, as if the child he had seen growing up had grown up.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll do it for you now."

Li San patted Lin Xiaofan's shoulder heavily and prepared to do it.

As for the money, he kept it for now.

However, he did not intend to spend the money, but kept it until Lin Xiaofan encountered any hardships, and then used it to support Lin Xiaofan.
