Xie Yunzhou took the lead and chased in the direction Li Mengyue went. He didn't expect that this time when he came to Qingshan Town to find his nephew, he would have an unexpected gain.

The girl that Shopkeeper Wang mentioned could easily take out a five-hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, which meant that she had even more precious medicinal materials in her hands.

It would be great if I could buy another Ganoderma lucidum.

After all, precious medicinal materials like the five-hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum are hard to come by, and it is lucky to get one. If the girl is unwilling to sell, he will not force her.

Xie Yunzhou walked very fast, with Xie Ming and Manager Wang following behind him.

As soon as I walked out of the alley, I could no longer see Li Mengyue.

"Where did you go?" Xie Yunzhou muttered to himself.

"Boss, I didn't expect to see a girl selling Ganoderma lucidum here. I wonder if she is from this town." Shopkeeper Wang explained.

"It's okay. Since we've run into each other, it means that the other party is probably from Qingshan Town. Since we've run into each other once, there's no need to worry about not finding him."

"Master, are we still going to the county government office?" Xie Ming asked.

"Go, but not now. Let's find the girl selling Ganoderma first."

Li Mengyue walked into the blacksmith shop, unaware that someone was looking for her and wanted to buy Ganoderma lucidum from her.

When the master craftsman in the blacksmith shop saw Li Mengyue coming in, he knew that she was here to get something.

"Girl, it will take another quarter of an hour to finish."

"It's okay. I'll wait here."

"Okay, girl, please sit down and have some tea first."

After saying this, the master continued with his work.

Li Mengyue saw tables and chairs in the store and knew they were used to entertain guests, so she sat down without hesitation.

The waiting time was a bit boring, so Li Mengyue turned her attention to the old master.

Look at the old master standing next to the stove, holding a heavy hammer in his hand. Although his face is covered in oil, his eyes are bright.

Pick up a red-hot iron block on the anvil and put it into the furnace to burn. It immediately emits a blazing light, as if it had been licked by a flame.

The old master took a deep breath and swung the hammer in his hand to hit the iron block.

"Bang bang bang!"

Sparks flew everywhere and the iron block slowly took shape under the constant hammering of the hammer.

Because the master craftsman's technique and strength are just right, every stroke is full of power and rhythm.

Li Mengyue felt that watching the master forging iron was quite interesting, as if she was playing an exciting piece of music.

The pulley she customized was hammered continuously, and every detail was handled very well by the master craftsman.

"Oh!"

When the master craftsman's last hammer fell, the last pulley was finally completed.

At this time, Li Mengyue saw the master craftsman looking at his work with satisfaction, ignoring the beads of sweat on his forehead.

As for the master craftsman, he looked at the freshly made work and a pleased smile appeared on his face.

Although he didn't know why the girl asked him to play this kind of wheel, it didn't stop him from immersing himself in the hard work and joy of creation.

Li Mengyue also noticed that the old master really liked blacksmithing. When he used iron blocks to make various things he wanted, he felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. Li Mengyue admired this craftsmanship.

The old master finished the finishing work, put the pulley in his hand together with the other six, then walked over to Li Mengyue and sat down on the chair on the other side.

"Girl, it's done. You can go and check the goods."

"No, I trust the Master."

The old master was a little surprised when he heard this, but he felt warm in his heart when he heard that someone trusted him unconditionally.

Seeing that it was getting late and she still had to go to the college to pick up her three younger brothers, Li Mengyue put the money on the table.

"Master, this is the fee."

The old master didn't look at the money on the table. Instead, he looked at Li Mengyue and asked the questions in his mind.

"Girl, I've been a blacksmith all my life, but I've never made anything like this. May I ask what it's used for? Of course, if it's inconvenient, just pretend I didn't ask."

Li Mengyue didn't expect that the master would be interested in pulleys, but there was nothing to hide.

After all, as long as seven villages use the pulley, people will know about it and it won't become a secret.

"It's mounted on the pulley block."

"Pulley?" The old master was very surprised to hear this. In fact, he had never heard of a pulley, let alone seen one.

However, he was very happy that Li Mengyue could speak frankly.

"Master, I took the things away."

"Row."

Anyway, Li Mengyue had already paid the money, so it was only natural for her to take away the seven pulleys.

"Do you want me to ask my apprentice to send it to you?"

The old master looked at the seven pulleys and thought they were not only big but also heavy. Li Mengyue looked very thin and seemed to lack strength, so he suggested delivering the goods.

"OK!"

Li Mengyue looked at the seven pulleys on the ground. If she wanted to go to Chongwen College, there would be no problem at all. But now that there was an easier way, she would not refuse.

The old master just mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect Li Mengyue to be so polite at all.

In fact, their store does not have a delivery service. After all, most villagers only buy one item, which is not heavy and can be easily taken away.

But since he had already said it, he would not go back on his word and looked at a young man who was working.

"Xiaohua, come here."

The young man immediately stopped what he was doing and hurried over to the old master.

"Master, what is it?"

"Xiaohua, this girl has packed a lot of heavy things. Go and get the carriage and help her deliver them home."

"Hey, I haven't asked the girl's last name yet."

"My name is Li Mengyue."

"Oh, Miss Li, this is my apprentice Xiaohua. Tell her your address and she will send it back to you."

Li Mengyue looked at Xiaohua, mentioned Xinghua Village, and gave him another twenty copper coins as a fee for running errands.

Xiaohua's eyes lit up when he saw the copper coins. You should know that he is an apprentice now and only has food and accommodation, but no monthly salary.

However, if a customer asks him to make something for him and the result satisfies the customer, he does not have to hand in the tip but can keep it for himself.

When he heard the master asking him to deliver the goods, he was actually not very willing to do so. But now, he naturally agreed.

He could earn twenty copper coins for each trip, and he hoped that such a good thing would happen every day.

After Li Mengyue told Xiaohua the address and told him to go to Xinghua Village to find Li An, she walked out of the blacksmith shop and prepared to go to the college to pick up her brother.

"Master, we have searched the area thoroughly, but we didn't even see the shadow of a girl, let alone find anyone. Could it be that Shopkeeper Wang saw it wrong?"

When Shopkeeper Wang heard this, he immediately refuted it.

"Xie Ming, I'm not mistaken, it's the girl who sold me the Ganoderma lucidum."

Then he said to Xie Yunzhou: "Boss, I swear I was not mistaken. The reason why I recognized her was that the girl's temperament was so special. Not only was she good-looking, but her words and deeds also revealed a calm and confident aura that made people unconsciously convinced."

Xie Yunzhou did not doubt what Shopkeeper Wang said. After all, these were precious medicinal materials of a certain age, and they were also extremely precious 500-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. Shopkeeper Wang was naturally impressed by the seller.
