The concubine escaped and cried when she met the prince again

Bai Zhen listened to Shen Ruolan's words, and said with embarrassment on his face: "But, before I left, my father told me that if I sold a penny less, he would let me get out of the mountain."

Bai Zhen's words made Shen Ruolan burst out laughing. Then she looked at Bai Zhen and said, "Master Bai, you can go back and tell your father which is more important, our long-term business or those few cents?"

Bai Zhen felt a little embarrassed by Shen Ruolan's smile. After hearing her words, he said without thinking: "It must be that the long-term business is more important."

"That's right. We can make small profits but quick turnover and make steady profits. After all, I will need iron for many purposes in the future." After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she continued to tell Bai Zhen everything: "For example, a thousand large and small iron pots, iron cans, iron shovels, etc...."

When Bai Zhen heard Shen Ruolan wanted so many things, his eyes lit up instantly, but it was fleeting. After a long silence, he said to Shen Ruolan: "Miss Shen, but this iron is really hard to get. It's too cheap. Our family doesn't make any money."

Bai Zhen's eyes were shining, and Shen Ruolan saw that he disagreed. She had no choice but to say to him, "If that's the case, I won't make it difficult for Master Bai."

After saying that, she instructed Ji Han, "Ji Han, go check the goods of Master Bai to see how much they are worth in total."

"Yes, master." After Ji Han finished speaking, he turned around, went out, called a group of villagers and went down the mountain.

Shen Ruolan looked at Ji Han's back as he walked down the mountain, and sighed, "Alas, it's too expensive to buy finished products. I guess I should make them myself in the future."

Bai Zhen was relieved to see Shen Ruolan no longer bargaining for him. However, Shen Ruolan's next words startled him so much that he jumped up. He looked at her excitedly and asked, "Miss Shen, can you also make iron?"

Because the Bai family had the technology to smelt iron and forge iron, the leaders of the villages in the deep mountains were willing to sell them some noodles.

If Shen Ruolan can do it too, then will the status of their Bai family in the mountains be affected in the future?

Shen Ruolan saw Bai Zhen's face flushed with excitement. She couldn't help but pat his face with her hand and said to him jokingly with a smile: "Master Bai, don't get excited. I know how to make iron, but it's very troublesome. Normally, I won't do it easily."

In her previous life, when the Internet was well developed, many old skills and recipes that were kept secret were no longer secrets. As long as she wanted to make something, she could just recall it in her mind and practice it a few more times and she could make it. So for her, iron smelting and forging was nothing more than a matter of effort.

Shen Ruolan's sudden touch made Bai Zhen's face, which was already red with excitement, blush even more. He lowered his head and said uncomfortably, "Miss Shen is so young, but she knows so many things. I admire her very much."

After he finished speaking, he was silent for a moment, then said to Shen Ruolan: "Let's settle the price according to what we agreed on that day."

When Shen Ruolan heard that Bai Zhen would not raise the price, she raised her eyebrows and looked at him, and asked, "Now, aren't you afraid that your father will kick you out of the mountain?"

Bai Zhen blushed and said, "If he drives me out of the mountain, I will come and hang out with you, Miss Shen."

Shen Ruolan curled her lips at him and said, "I don't accept useless people."

Bai Zhen quickly said to Shen Ruolan: "Miss, I know a lot. I can hunt, forge iron, and fight."

Shen Ruolan was amused by the innocent boy in front of her. She looked at him and said, "Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. For today's goods, I will settle with you according to the market price. Later, I will continue to add 1,000 large and small iron pots. If you take this order back, your father will not only not kick you out, but will also praise you for being a capable and sensible child."

Bai Zhen touched it and replied to Shen Ruolan with a smile: "Oh, thank you Miss Shen."

The two agreed on a price, and Shen Ruolan counted the money while Bai Zhen told her the amount. After Ji Han came back and confirmed that everything was in good condition, Shen Ruolan took out the bill and said to Bai Zhen, "Master Bai, this is the bill I just calculated. Please take a look."

Bai Zhen took a look at the bill and confirmed that there was no problem. Then he said to Shen Ruolan, "Miss Shen, there is no problem with this bill."

Seeing that the other party had confirmed it, Shen Ruolan went into her hut, took out the silver and handed it to Bai Zhen, saying, "The total silver for today's goods is 47 taels, 800 coins. Minus the 20 taels deposit last time, the total I give you is 27 taels, 800 coins."

Today Bai Zhen sent her 200 axes, 500 hatchets, 300 sickles, 50 vegetable knives, and 300 machetes. Different knives had different prices, and all of them cost less than 50 taels of silver.

Bai Zhen took the silver from Shen Ruolan and said to her happily, "Miss Shen, if you want to do anything in the future, please just come to me. I promise to use the best iron and help you make the best things."

Shen Ruolan also responded in a good mood: "Okay, I will find Master Bai if I need anything in the future."

After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she breathed a sigh of relief. With these knives, the villagers' safety in the mountains was better guaranteed.

Bai Zhen chatted with Shen Ruolan for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, he stood up and said to Shen Ruolan, "Miss Shen, I have to go back now. When you are free in the future, you are welcome to visit Baitie Village. Goodbye!"

Shen Ruolan stood up and said, "Master Bai, take care."

After sending Bai Zhen away, Shen Ruolan said to Ji Han, "Ji Han, take a look at the swords here, is there anything that's handy?"

After listening to Shen Ruolan's words, Ji Han picked a sword from the list and said, "Master, let's take this one."

After he finished speaking, he paused and continued, "It's just that this big knife is a bit conspicuous. If I go out to do something, it will easily attract other people's attention."

Shen Ruolan thought what Ji Han said made sense. She thought about it and asked him, "Do you have a favorite sword? If so, I'll ask Master Bai to make one for you."

When Ji Han heard that his master wanted to help him forge a sword, he felt warmed at heart. People who practiced martial arts all wanted to have a sword that suits them very much. However, his sword was confiscated by that man.

However, making a sword is not cheap. Now his master can't even eat, so he is a little reluctant. But when he thinks of his need to protect his master's safety, he said to Shen Ruolan after a brief silence: "Master, let's talk about this when we have a chance to go to Baitie Village in the future."

"That's fine." After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, he instructed him, "Except for the kitchen knives, you distribute these knives. Remember, whoever takes these 300 machetes will be responsible for the safety of the villagers in Fuzhai."

"Yes, master." Ji Han responded loudly.

Shen Ruolan said to Ji Han: "Well, go down and let Miao Wei come to see me."

"Yes," Ji Han said, and he turned and left.

Not long after, Miao Wei shouted outside Shen Ruolan's door: "Miss, are you looking for me?"

Shen Ruolan responded to him from inside the room: "Come in."

"Yes," Miao Wei said, and then stepped into the main hall of Shen Ruolan's house.
