Dressed as a blacksmith

Only in the afternoon did Qiao Yuan have time to watch the iron making process carefully.

There are three hardships in the world, and it is really well-deserved to beat the iron and grind the tofu.

According to Yu Dameng's introduction to him, there are generally seven processes in forging iron, namely picking materials, burning materials, forging, shaping, casting steel, quenching and tempering.

Qiao Yuan didn't understand exactly what these procedures were all about, but he looked at them all afternoon, and Yu Dameng had to pull the bellows back and forth to light the furnace, and knock the big hammer again, which was really hard work.

Qiao Yuan even went out of his way to try it out, but he could barely pick up the big hammer, he couldn't swing it at all.It takes so much effort every day, it's hot and tiring, it's a complete drain on the body, and when you get old, you're sure to have problems all over your body.Qiao Yuan was so distressed, he thought that he would have to stew bone soup to supplement Yu Dameng on weekdays.

He wanted Yu Dameng to eat ready-made food when he got home from work in the afternoon, and he couldn't play much role in the iron shop, so he proposed to go home first.

Yu Dameng disagreed and was worried that he would go alone.

Father Yu was also worried, so he said, "Don't go back today, let Xiao Si Xiao Wu pick you up at this time every day."

Fine!The identity of this fucking brother!

Before returning home from work in the afternoon, Qiao Yuan went to Zhang butcher's stall to cut two catties of lean meat and bought another five catties of pork ribs.Let Father Yu take half of it back to the old house, and keep the other half for him and Yu Dameng to eat at night.

When they got home, Yu Dameng went to fetch water, and Qiao Yuan washed rice for cooking.

For dinner, they made Hunan-style stir-fried pork, green vegetables with oily residue, and pork ribs soup with winter melon. Qiao Yuan had a small appetite, but thanks to Yu Dameng who could eat, there was no leftovers.

Now it's just the two of them, and the housework is much easier.Yu Dameng still takes the lead in everything, as long as he can do everything well, he will learn from the side if he can't.

Qiao Yuan couldn't feel better, his family looked at him dumbfounded, but in fact he was a 24 filial and good husband after a good training.The two were chatting with each other when there was a knock on the door suddenly.

"Da Meng, are you at home?"

Qiao Yuan responded and got up to open the door.

The person who came was Aunt Zhao, and the person next to her looked like Zhao Gensheng's newly married husband.Aunt Zhao said: "I came here in the morning, but you are not at home. I asked your mother, and your mother said that you went to the city with Dameng. Yesterday, as you know, my aunt was too busy to spare time. .”

She said again: "It's time now, I'll bring your elder brother Gensheng's husband to meet you quickly, and I will get to know you well. You are brothers of about the same age, and you will walk around a lot in the future."

Qiao Yuan was also happy to meet more friends in this world, so he smiled and invited them in.

Zhao Gensheng's husband, Lang Yu, smiled and said: "Not today, you and Brother Dameng have been busy all day. The main purpose of coming to the door today is to deliver these things. Brother Yuan, you must accept them. One is the banquet yesterday. As a thank you gift for the steamed bun you gave, and as a housewarming gift for you and Brother Dameng to move house."

Everyone said so, and Qiao Yuan was not easy to refuse, so he accepted it openly, "That's okay, I'll be free some other day, we invite sister-in-law Fu Lang and Brother Gensheng to have dinner."

Aunt Zhao said again: "I chose two new baskets on purpose. You just separated, and there are not many people in the family. Keep them at home to pack things. Don't send them back. After a long day, you should take a good rest. We I'm leaving."

Qiao Yuan nodded yes, and sent them away.

Just after putting down the things they sent, Yu Er Er and Yu Er Sister also came to deliver things.

This is the first time that Qiao Yuan has seen Ersao Yu since he came here these days. She looks like a very simple and simple rural woman.Only Yu's second son went to the wedding banquet yesterday, she didn't go, presumably because she was afraid of the villagers' comments and deliberately avoided these scenes.

Seeing that Qiao Yuan was a bit embarrassed, she tried her best to smile with a bit of flattery.

Qiao Yuan was in a complicated mood. On the one hand, he felt that she was in a pitiful situation, and on the other hand, he was very angry when he thought of what Yu Lao Er had done. He didn't know whether Yu Er'er's handwriting was in it when Yu Lao Er did that thing, and he might never know. .

Yu Dameng still cared about his elder brother, and Qiao Yuan cared about Yu Dameng's feelings.So as long as Yu's second son and the others are honest and don't cause any trouble, Qiao Yuan won't deal with them, just treat them as normal in a village.Qiao Yuan accepted the gift from them politely, and returned five eggs.

It was getting dark, Yu Dameng fastened the gate, and the two finally lived a two-person world.

Qiao Yuan proposed to correct Yu Dameng.

Just as Yu Dameng wanted to refuse, Qiao Yuan gave him a glare, and then retracted his words.

But Qiao Yuan's little strength now, pressing on Yu Dameng's body, is like scratching an itch, basically lighting fires everywhere.

"Tomorrow, I have to turn over the vegetable field at home, and then buy some seeds to sprinkle, otherwise it will be troublesome to go to the old house to pick vegetables." Qiao Yuan said while exerting strength.

Yu Dameng was pressed to the point of tenderness, and replied with a muffled grunt: "I'll get up early tomorrow to work."

"Oh." Qiao Yuan snorted, his face was a little hot and flustered, the touch of his hands was really good, he gradually changed from pressing hard to touching around.

Yu Dameng pampered him for a while, but in the end he couldn't hold back, and grabbed his hand, his voice hoarse, "Yuan...Brother Yuan, don't press it."

"Ah? Why... why?" Qiao Yuan felt that the atmosphere was a little hot for a while, his mind was a little dazed, and his voice trembled unconsciously.

Yu Dameng's throat moved slightly, and he stammered: "That's right, don't...don't press it."

After finishing speaking, he turned over and got out of bed, and walked out the door.

Qiao Yuan's face gradually turned red, and he quickly lay down, pulling the quilt over his head.

I'm ashamed to see anyone, what did he just do?

.......

In the past few days, about [-] vegetable pancakes have been sold every day, which is the amount Qiao Yuan deliberately controlled.The way of selling at the side of the stall was also slightly changed, and the pancakes were pre-spread on the first day.Pancakes have always been resistant to storage without affecting the taste, so they can be almost sold out after one and a half hours of hard work every day.

And there are some people who have eaten the pancakes and just bought some pancakes to go home and make their own rolls to eat.

Qiao Yuan also vigorously promotes this way of eating when selling vegetable pancakes. In recent days, more and more people come to buy only pancakes.If it is by the catty, Qiao Yuan sells it for seven cents per catty, and there are almost eight or nine pancakes per catty, which is more cost-effective than eating rice, and saves the effort of cooking.And this thing is very resistant to storage, it is not a problem to store it for three to five days, and it can sell twenty or thirty catties of pancakes every day.

This is another income. Qiao Yuan has made a net profit of more than one tael in the past few days. The fly in the ointment is that no one has come to inquire about Huamo.However, there is no rush. He doesn't know any prominent and wealthy people now, so it is difficult to open a way.

He has already made up his mind, and if he really can't do it, he will do a flower bun show when he opens his shop. He is still very satisfied with his life at the moment, and he can just enjoy it and don't need to worry too much.

In the afternoon of this day, Qiao Yuan completed another deal and got up to rest.In the morning, the vegetable pancakes are sold at the gate of the iron shop. After the vegetable pancakes are sold out, the retail pancakes are made in the backyard of the iron shop.

Usually, when Yu Dameng is not busy with work in the front shop, he always likes to come to cling to him and help him.In the past two days, I don't know what kind of crazy, even Qiao Yuan called him several times, but he didn't hear it.

Man, you need to be trained.

"What is this made of?" As soon as Qiao Yuan came over, he saw that Yu Dameng was carefully making some ironware, which was very delicate.Qiao Yuan didn't dare to interrupt, and waited for him to stop before speaking.

Seeing that it was him who came, Yu Dameng's eyes were full of joy.

After staying by the stove all morning, Yu Dameng's face was covered with sweat.Qiao Yuan glared at him, took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, "I'm sweating, I don't know how to wipe it off."

Yu Dameng grinned, pointing to the unformed iron in his hand and explaining to him: "In the past few days, I see that you cut a lot of potatoes and radishes every morning." He said, glanced at Qiao Yuan, his ears were red and Said: "You cut too fast, and I was afraid that you would cut it with your hands. So I want to make a tool to see if I can put potatoes directly on it to plan."

After listening to Yu Dameng's explanation, Qiao Yuan looked at the unformed ironware, it looked like a silk grater!

talent!Qiao Yuan happily hugged Yu Dameng's head and kissed him.

Yu Dameng's face flushed instantly, and his first reaction was to look at his father.

Fortunately, Dad is not in the house.

Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan, how can you do this!

Can't help but tease!Qiao Yuan snorted softly, and went to look at the grater that hadn't yet formed. The more he looked at it, the more he felt happy. It's a business opportunity!

"When you finish it, let's try it. This can be sold in the shop in the future."

Yu Dameng hesitated, "Can someone buy it?"

"How can there be no one? You don't cook and have no experience. I will guarantee you that as long as it is useful, there will be one!" Qiao Yuan patted Yu Dameng's shoulder and said, "You just do it. I worry about selling it. Restaurants and restaurants alone need a lot. Another point is that the one you made is shredded, but sometimes it needs to be sliced, and the shreds are divided into thick and thin slices. This time, let’s follow what we usually eat Make it thick and thin, and sell it to ordinary people. The standards of big restaurants may be different, and we will talk about it at that time."

Yu Dameng thought for a moment, then said: "Slicing, just get a blade here."

"You're pretty smart?" Qiao Yuan joked.

Yu Dameng remembered the matter of Qiao Yuan kissing him just now, and his face became a little hot.

Qiao Yuan went on to talk about business, "You can also make a peeling knife."

The two discussed again, and when Father Yu came back from a walk outside, he saw his son and his daughter-in-law discussing the ironware. When did the daughter-in-law become so interested in blacksmithing?

Yu Dameng and Qiao Yuan explained to Father Yu again, and Father Yu regretted it, because he didn't cook too much in the past!Otherwise, how could he not have thought of something so practical?However, his son can think of it, and he has half the credit.Father Yu felt very proud that the Yu family's blacksmithing skills could be regarded as successors.

Qiao Yuan just offered an idea, as for how to make it, two blacksmiths had to think carefully.

Three days later, Yu Dameng excitedly ran to the backyard and told him that the silk grater was ready.
