Qingzhi is more familiar with blacksmiths than carpenters. When he went out on the street, he could see the tinkling of iron being made inside the blacksmith shop.
It turns out that the young lady’s father is a blacksmith.
"Does the lady also know how to blacksmith?" Qing Zhi asked curiously.
Qixing seemed to think for a while before nodding: "Yes."
The young lady is really amazing. Qing Pheasant has seen a blacksmith's shop, where the fire was flying, it was very hot and scorching, and the hammers used by the blacksmiths were much heavier than the saws used by the carpenters.
Qing Zhi looked at the young lady's slender arms...
Does the lady have the strength?
"Can the young lady's father, like your mother, use iron to make a walking iron ox?" Qing Pheasant asked.
The young lady’s mother is an extraordinary carpenter, so her father must also be an extraordinary blacksmith.
Qixing smiled and shook his head: "That won't happen."
No, Qing Pheasant said: "That must be an extraordinary blacksmith."
Qixing held the saw and thought about it again and smiled: "Yes, he is very unusual." After saying that, he lowered his head and continued sawing the wood.
It was obvious that she didn't want to talk more about her father. Qing Zhi wisely didn't ask any more questions this time. However, the young lady didn't seem to hate her father. I wonder what happened to the young lady's parents. If her mother is gone, is her father still alive?
Qing Zhi was thinking wildly and continued to be busy with his hands.
Qixing repaired the villagers' farm tools and asked the playful children to take them back. He placed the polished wood in the cowshed, but did not build it again. Instead, he hitched the donkey cart and took Qing Pheasant into the city.
The donkey cart was empty and it did not pull any prey. It did not stop at Shunde Tower and went straight to Ruyifang.
When I saw the donkey cart, the shop assistant in front of Ruyifang came out early to welcome it.
"Miss Ah Qi, Miss Xiao Qing, you are here." He said happily, taking the skinny donkey, "Come in quickly, my boss has been waiting for you for several days, I will feed the donkey."
Qixing thanked him and took Qing Pheasant in.
The customer who came in next to him heard this and couldn't help but stare at the two girls. The boss had been waiting for her for how many days?
The owner of Ruyifang has a weird temper. Especially after he broke his leg, he became more and more elusive. It was not easy to see him.
However, this owner did not turn out to be decadent and withdrawn from the world. He closed his doors for five years and built a standing wheeled vehicle.
Nowadays, he "walks" on the street from time to time, and everyone can see him.
Yes, I have seen it, but the owner who can produce such a car is even more difficult to talk to and arrogant. It is even harder to discuss business with him.
Who are these two little girls that made the Wei Dong family wait for several days?
"Is this your big customer at Ruyifang?" the guest asked curiously.
But it doesn't look like it, the dress is worse than that of a maid from a wealthy family, not to mention that a big customer comes by donkey cart.
The store clerk chuckled: "He is a big customer, an indispensable big customer."
But how big and indispensable it is, the store clerk refused to say, and only asked other clerks to invite him in: "I have made a batch of new style boxes. Mr. Huang, go and have a look. Your daughter's dowry will be ready."
Already."
Mr. Huang doesn't care about those two girls. No matter how much household items he buys, it doesn't matter to him.
"The box is not urgent. One more or one less does not matter. No matter how expensive your wheelbarrow is, I will buy one." He said to the store clerk who greeted him, "My in-laws' old man's legs and feet were broken due to illness in his early years.
Since then, I haven’t even left the house. I gave him a car and let him ride around. Wouldn’t I have become a benefactor to my in-laws? Who dares to look down upon my daughter when she gets married.”
Shopkeeper Lu came out from the back and said with a smile: "Now my boss has only taken two orders. We will wait for Mr. Huang to arrange them next year."
Mr. Huang exclaimed: "Why is it so slow? Your boss is not making any money!"
"It's such a good thing, it can't be so easy to make." Shopkeeper Lu said, "This car is different for everyone. It needs to be built according to the individual requirements. Our boss can only make two more this year, and we really can't do it."
Also, it took Mr. Wei five years to build a car after he broke his leg. Mr. Huang stopped urging him and told him to be the first in line next year, so he followed Shopkeeper Lu to see the newly packed boxes.
In the owner's house in the backyard, the Wei owners turned their car and "walked" to Qixing, and the two of them greeted each other.
"Miss Ah Qi, please take a seat." Mr. Wei said with a smile.
Since riding the wheelbarrow, Wei Dongjia no longer has a sullen face all day long. Although the guys always think that the sudden appearance of voyeuristic Dongjia is more terrifying, at least Wei Dongjia has a lot more smiles on his face.
.
Qixing thanked him and sat down. Wei Dongjia also turned the armrests, the wheelbarrow turned into a chair, and everyone sat down.
"According to Miss Ah Qi's wishes, I have only placed an order for two aircraft." Mr. Wei said, "The remuneration has been prepared and I have been waiting for the lady to pick it up."
Miss Qixing did not allow them to go to Xinghua Academy outside the city to find her, and she also told the outside world that she had made the wheelbarrow. After receiving the order, she would come to Ruyifang to build the car.
Qixing asked: "Has the share given to the family been deducted from it?"
Mr. Wei nodded: "Half of the share has been deducted according to what the lady said." He hesitated again, "The lady actually doesn't need to take out so much."
According to the rules, they have to hand over part of the money they earn, but in fact, the amount to hand over is voluntary and has no fixed amount.
Miss Qixing handed over half of the reward.
Mr. Wei's family already knew that this girl was an orphan and had no property. He still preferred that the two girls could have more money to make his life easier.
Qixing said: "It's quite a lot for me to take these now."
Mr. Wei understood what she meant. Although he handed over half of the money, the price of the wheelbarrow was very high, so the remaining half was not that small.
An orphan girl receiving so much money could easily attract prying eyes.
But this is not a problem. Wei Dongjia said: "We can hire the young lady to work here and provide accommodation. The young lady does not have to live alone outside the city." At this point, he sighed softly, "Although the family is not as good as it used to be, in Xucheng it is better."
It’s okay to protect the safety of the young lady.”
Qixing smiled and said, "Let me sort out the trouble first before talking about anything else."
Trouble? Is this girl still in trouble?
Hearing these words, Mr. Wei immediately became energetic: "Do you need help?"
Although this girl has only made a wheeled cart so far, it has been enough to demonstrate her skills. This is a rare craftsmanship. The Wei boss family can't wait to tie her up immediately, no, let her settle down in Ruyifang.
Qixing nodded and said: "Please recommend me to the embroidery workshop."
Embroidery workshop? Wei Dongjia was shocked, why should we go to the embroidery workshop?
….
……..
On the busiest streets in Xucheng, apart from restaurants and tea shops, the most popular ones are goldware and embroidery shops.
The men spend time in restaurants and tea shops, while the women are regular visitors to the Gold Embroidery Shop. Here, either with a sister or a few friends, they can not only choose and view the latest jewelry and embroidery, but also drink tea. There are also restaurants that are not inferior to
Food and wine.
Compared with teahouses and restaurants, which are available in all price ranges, these shops exclusively for women are just places of wealth and wealth. They have gorgeous facades, elegant interiors, and everyone who comes and goes is wealthy.
Mrs. Dong, the shopkeeper of Linglongfang, felt slightly uncomfortable looking at the girl standing in front of her.
His clothes are simple, and he looks like he is not someone who can visit an embroidery shop.
She is still a child, and a girl starts to get needlework at the age of ten. At this time, her embroidery skills are just beginning.
"Are you really here to be an embroiderer?" Lady Dong couldn't help but ask again.
