The blacksmith was slightly surprised when he heard this, "Master, do you want to make ironware by yourself?"
"Yes, I have a craftsman in the village and I want to make something myself, but I don't know where to find some pig iron." Fu Manman said.
After hearing this, the other party looked around and whispered: "Sir, how much do you want?"
Fu Manman heard what the other party said and thought it was interesting, so he said: "There are many, can you introduce them?"
When the other party heard a lot, his face showed a hint of joy, but then he looked around nervously and said: "Brother, why do you want so much iron? If this private person wants so much iron, the government will investigate."
"Let's just keep it secret and don't let the officials know about it," Fu Manman said.
She thought that this uncle should have a way out, but now it was up to her to see if he had the guts.
"Well, I can't introduce it to you now, but I can send you pig iron. You leave me an address. How much pig iron do you want, and I will send it to you tomorrow." The uncle gritted his teeth, still wanting to make this money.
Life is so sad now. He has two children to raise, and his wife has another child in her belly. He has to make money to support his children and his wife.
"Okay, tomorrow you will transport a hundred kilograms of pig iron to Black Wind Valley and wait at the mouth of the valley. Someone will pick you up." Fu Manman said in a low voice.
When the other party heard about Black Wind Valley, he was dumbfounded. He couldn't believe it and asked again to confirm: "Young master, are you talking about Black Wind Valley?"
"Yes, that's right, it's Black Wind Valley. Do you dare to come?"
The name of Black Wind Valley is very famous, because the valley is full of bandits who are full of evil.
"Are you bandits?" The uncle had a frightened expression on his face.
Fu Manman smiled and pointed to a few people who were busy collecting grain and giving money, "Did you see the bandits going down the mountain to buy things and give them money?"
The uncle nodded stupidly, "That's right, the bandits don't even give you money when they buy anything."
But the people in Black Wind Valley are all bandits!
"That's it, let's bring the iron over tomorrow!" Fu Manman said, and then asked, "By the way, how much does this pig iron cost per pound?"
"Fifty cents?" The uncle didn't dare to make an offer.
Fifty cents! It’s so cheap. Maybe I’m too scared to put up a price.
"Okay, I will deliver a hundred catties tomorrow and give you ten taels of silver." After Fu Manman finished speaking, he turned around and left.
When the uncle heard the ten taels of silver, he felt excited in his heart.
After buying things for a while, Chen Zijian and Xiao Wu moved everything onto the carriage, and the group continued to move forward.
This time we are going to Tianshui Town, the largest town at the foot of the mountain. People from several nearby villages go to this town if they want to go to the market or something.
As we approached Tianshui Town, we saw a small town with gray walls and earthen buildings in the distance.
The dilapidated city walls are full of traces of time, and some places have collapsed.
There were no soldiers guarding the tower below. There were many people coming and going, and there were also many homeless people squatting under the tower begging. All of them were hunched up and looked disheveled on their faces.
Even the people coming and going were all in ragged clothes and looked disheveled.
People's lives are not easy.
Fu Manman and the others rode the carriage into the city.
The town in front of us is really incomparable to the previous Fengcheng. At first glance, it looks like low-rise bungalows, but there are many businesses on both sides of the street.
Fu Manman got off the carriage and walked around, asking around and looking at the daily necessities of ordinary people in this era.
Looking at it this way, it is really barren.
They are all very common daily necessities. The vendors on the street buy dried saponins, and some people will buy them back and boil water to wash their hair or wash their clothes.
For things like soap, sesame oil, and rouge, you have to go to the shops on both sides of the street to buy them.
People who enter this kind of store are all well-dressed people.
Fu Manman looked around for a while and didn't see many people entering such a store.
People's livelihood is difficult.
At this moment, someone in the crowd in front suddenly shouted.
Someone shouted: "It seems that Miss Yuyao is here."
"She is really an oiran girl from Yuyao."
On the dusty street, a brightly colored and exquisite human-powered sedan appeared.
Sitting on the sedan was a woman wearing a pink dress and a veil.
After a while, the woman got off the sedan and stopped in front of a tavern, holding a pipa in her hand.
"Let's go and have a look. Girls like Yuyao usually don't leave the building. The one who can make her come out is definitely not an ordinary person."
"Who else could it be, but Liu Qianhu's young cousin?"
"I still don't know if Miss Yuyao will follow that young master this time."
"If you do, then you are no longer the courtesan Yuyao."
After listening to everyone's discussion, Fu Manman became interested and asked Xiao Wu, "What's going on with that oiran Yuyao."
Xiaowu immediately knew everything and told Fu Manman some things about the courtesan Yuyao.
It turns out that this Yuyao is an official girl. Her father offended someone and was convicted, and the whole family was exiled here to work in a mine.
This Miss Yuyao entered the Jiaofang Division. An official lady from the capital entered a place like that, and it was in this small place, but it caused a sensation because she was so beautiful.
No, now he is being promoted as an oiran. In a small town, everyone with some wealth and power admires this oiran very much.
But this oiran lady is too arrogant and has always been a prostitute rather than a prostitute. With her outstanding appearance and outstanding talent, she has always maintained her innocence, but how long can she maintain her innocence?
Fu Manman found it interesting after hearing this.
"Come on, let's go in and take a look." Fu Manman led a few people into the tavern.
On the stage in the middle of the tavern, the Yuyao oiran is standing holding a pipa. He is so graceful and graceful that just standing there makes people feel like a painting.
nice!
Under the stage, sitting in the middle seat, was a well-dressed man. No matter how gorgeous he was, he couldn't hide his vulgar temperament.
The other party held a fan in one hand, picked his nostrils with the other, and said to the oiran on the stage: "Sing a little song for me first."
"Yes!" The person on the stage was very obedient, holding the pipa in his arms, gently twisting the strings with his slender fingers, and singing slowly with a soft voice.
There were many people sitting in this tavern, many of them came to watch the fun. They paid a lot for their drinks and chose a good seat to sit down.
I have to say that the oiran's singing voice is quite pleasant. The voice is soft and soft, like a clear spring, sweet and moist.
The man sitting in the middle seat had his nostrils pierced and his eyes shining with silver.
After the song was over, Yuyao stood there with her head lowered, looking like she was waiting to give up.
"You are so obedient that you just sang when I asked you to come out? Last time I asked you to come out, you still resisted. Now that Mr. Gongsun is gone, who can still protect you? The Qingshan Coal Mine is also under the control of my Zhang family." Zhang
The young cousin of the family sneered coldly, with a very contemptuous attitude.
"What a piece of junk. It's just a bitch with a thousand men riding on it. She's still pretending to be noble in front of me. Take it off!"
This restaurant was full of men. At this moment, a group of vulgar men became excited when they heard the word "off".
