On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle

Song Xile led the cook out of the meat market. She did not rush back, but tilted her head and asked, "Aunt, do you know which blacksmith has the best craftsmanship in this city?"

Upon hearing this, the cook said without hesitation, "Madam, if we talk about the best blacksmith in the city, it must be Blacksmith Li from 'Li's Blacksmith Shop'."

"His craftsmanship has been passed down for generations. Whether it is cooking utensils or farm tools, they are all made with great precision. Moreover, blacksmith Li is also very honest and never cuts corners, so his shop has a very good reputation in the city."

After hearing this, Song Xile nodded and said, "Then please lead the way, Auntie. I just happen to have something that I need his help to make."

The cook readily agreed.

In this situation, she can still get such a good job, and the cook still cherishes it very much.

Not only is the work in Liuer Hutong easy, but your three meals a day are also provided.

In this way, the family can save a lot of food over time, and with her wages, they can finally make ends meet.

Song Xile followed the cook, making many turns and finally turning into an alley.

The blacksmith shop is located deep in an alley. The storefront is not big, but the three big characters "Blacksmith Shop" on the lintel are very eye-catching.

Perhaps affected by the drought, the people cut down their spending as much as possible. The blacksmith shop was also deserted and there were few customers.

As soon as Song Xile entered the store, the blacksmith stopped his work and came up to him. "What would you two like to buy? We have all kinds of farm tools ready in the store, from hoes to sickles, from axes to plows. You can choose whatever you want."

After saying that, he pointed to the wooden shelf next to him where various farm tools were placed and introduced them.

Song Xile glanced at the farm tools, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and asked with a smile: "I wonder if the master can help me print out what's on it."

The blacksmith took the blueprint from Song Xile, unfolded it, was slightly stunned, and then asked in confusion: "Is this an oven?"

The ancients also knew how to barbecue, either in a round or square shape, but this was the first time he had seen a barbecue grill as long as Song Xile's.

Seeing that Tie Jian was looking at it seriously, Song Xile described his requirements to the blacksmith one by one.

It is actually not difficult to make this oven. As soon as Song Xile explained it, the blacksmith understood it.

After Song Xile finished explaining her request, the blacksmith said uncertainly: "Madam, are you sure you want to make such a large oven? It will take a lot of materials to make this oven!"

Song Xile naturally understood the blacksmith's implication, and she immediately said, "Master, just do it. Just tell me how much you need!"

The blacksmith did not ask for a price. He said frankly, "This thing is more laborious than making a pot. The price of a large pot is five cents of silver. So I will charge you eight cents of silver. What do you think, madam?"

Song Xile agreed very readily, "Okay, but I need this thing urgently. I wonder if Master can help me make it in a few days?"

The blacksmith hesitated for a moment and said, "Two days, pay half of the deposit first, and you can pick up the items in two days!"

There was nothing else to do in the shop right now, so he could only make this grill in one day. However, this was the first time he made a grill, so he was always cautious and didn't say anything.

The two parties reached a deal. After Song Xile paid the deposit, he took the cook out of the blacksmith shop.

Song Xile walked out of the alley, looked up at the sun, and seeing that it was still early, he decided to buy everything he needed to prepare for the stall.

So she walked along the street and found a wood shop.

As soon as Song Xile walked to the door, he heard a sigh, "Changsheng, I know you have good skills, and I can't bear to fire you, but you can see that since the beginning of spring, there have been no customers in my shop."

"Then I will pay you this month's wages and give you a few taels of silver for your living. You go home first, and we will get through this difficult period. I will invite you back when the market is better!"

The man named Changsheng said with a choked voice: "Boss..."

Song Xile's footsteps interrupted the man's unfinished words. He quickly put away his sad look, cheered up and smiled at Song Xile: "Madam, what do you need?"

Song Xile pretended not to have heard the conversation between the two and said calmly, "I wonder if there are any foldable tables and stools here?"

When the two heard this, they immediately became excited. The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly and said with a smile on his face, "We have tables and stools. Madam, please wait a moment. I will go to the warehouse in the back to get the folding table."

After a while, the shopkeeper and Changsheng came out of the warehouse, each carrying a folding table of different models.

They unfolded the table and showed it to Song Xile.

"Madam, please look. This is a large folding table. It is suitable for many people to sit around and dine. The tabletop is spacious and has a strong load-bearing capacity." The shopkeeper introduced a table with a larger tabletop.

Then, Changsheng showed a medium-sized folding table: "This is a medium-sized folding table. It is light and easy to carry. It is suitable for outdoor picnics or parties."

Finally, the shopkeeper took out a small folding table: "This is a small folding table. Although the tabletop is small, it is exquisite and suitable for placing snacks or using it as a coffee table."

Song Xile looked at these folding tables carefully and immediately liked the medium-sized one.

They were there to set up a stall. A table that was too big was inconvenient to carry, and a table that was too small was not suitable either. Only a medium-sized table was most suitable.

Without much hesitation, she pointed at the medium-sized folding table and asked, "How much is this medium-sized folding table, shopkeeper? How much is it for four folding stools?"

This was the only customer who had come to the store in the past three months, so the shopkeeper naturally did not dare to quote a higher price.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I usually sell this table for 600 coins, and the four stools for 280 coins. If you really want to buy them, how about a total of 800 coins?"

Song Xile nodded, "Okay, I want two sets. It's not convenient for us to take them. Can the shopkeeper help deliver the things to Liu'er Hutong?"

The shopkeeper readily agreed.

Song Xile bought the table and stools, looked around the shop and asked, "Do you have a cart in your shop?"

The shopkeeper was a quick-witted man. He immediately said, "We don't have the cart in stock. They can make it now, but it will take seven days to deliver it."

It took a while, and Song Xile asked hesitantly, "Can't it be faster?"

The shopkeeper looked embarrassed. It was not that he didn't want to, but he didn't have any wood at the moment!

Changsheng, who was standing by, pulled the sleeve of the shopkeeper and whispered, "We have an old delivery cart parked in the backyard. You can lend it to my wife first, and wait until we have a new one ready. This way, it won't delay things!"

The shopkeeper was shocked and looked at Song Xile with sharp eyes, "Madam, what do you think?"

The cart is mainly used to transport goods, and she doesn't care whether the cart is new or old.

Both parties were willing, so the matter was quickly discussed.

Song Xile ordered a cart for eight hundred wen. Before delivering the goods, the woodworking shop had to provide the buyer with an old cart for use.

Just when Song Xile took out his purse to pay the deposit, a man who looked like a manager rushed in hurriedly and went straight to the shopkeeper.
