Chapter 129 It's all because of gluttony
Seeing that his expression was still somewhat complicated, Lin Chunyi quickly thought for a moment.
He erased the previous drawing and redrawn one, tentatively saying, "Uncle, how about this?"
Make some iron bars, each a foot long, and place them horizontally at one-inch intervals. They should be slightly wider than the strip next to them.
Then, use iron bars to vertically connect and secure both sides. Can you make two of these boards?
The burly blacksmith looked at the diagram on the ground and listened to her explanation again. Finally, he understood what she meant.
"It's just making two iron fence-like things and putting a few iron bars inside, that's easy."
You made it all so complicated at the beginning, as if you were afraid he wouldn't understand, right?
"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I meant!" The two were extremely excited about solving the barbecue net problem.
All that's missing is a grill to make it barbecue!
The two of them pressed on and continued to explain the structure of the barbecue grill to him.
It's a box-shaped item that's a little over two feet long, a little over one foot wide, and about half a foot high, with an open top.
The details required are that several small round holes be made in the bottom of the box. The two iron bars should be the size to fit perfectly on the iron box, but slightly larger.
The big man asked them, "Okay, it's not difficult. Is there anything else you need?" Making these two things is much simpler than making some intricate weapons.
They thought about it carefully: barbecue, barbecue grill, barbecue net, barbecue...
Oh right, we're actually missing one!
Lin Chunyi's eyes shone brightly as she rubbed her hands together, somewhat embarrassed, and said:
"Uncle, could you make sixty more iron skewers, thinner than the ones used to make the baskets?"
Although bamboo skewers would work, she felt it wasn't cost-effective to make or buy disposable items, whether she made them herself or bought them.
Only iron skewers work well.
The big man's face froze. He shouldn't have asked that question!
He suddenly didn't want to earn this money anymore. Sixty iron skewers! How long would it take him to forge them?
They must have been hit so hard their eyes were seeing stars...
"Uncle? How long will it take to finish all of this? How much will it cost in total?" The two looked at him with suspicion, waiting for his answer.
After thinking for a long time, the burly man said, "It will take about a month to finish everything. Twelve taels, no bargaining. You need to pay a deposit of three taels today."
If you're in a hurry, it can be done in half a month, but it will cost extra, two ounces. "Only a fool wouldn't make money like this!"
With a fierce look in his eyes, a gritted teeth, a tightening grip, and a hammer in hand, he began to strike with thunderous force!
Lin Lanshan grinned, "No rush, no rush, take your time, we'll come back to pick it up in a month."
As long as they can get it before the coldest part of winter, that's fine. On the day of the heavy snow, they can have a delicious, spicy, and juicy barbecue...
The two sisters reached an agreement with the big man, paid the deposit, and happily left the blacksmith shop.
This trip was a last-minute decision for them, and they hadn't planned what they needed to buy before they left.
So they had no choice but to drive their mule carts through the streets, looking left and right, searching everywhere.
If I see something and remember that I don't have enough at home, I'll buy some.
At the end of the day, Lin Chunyi put all the hot food she had bought, such as mutton buns, scallion pancakes, and sesame balls, into her storage space in the carriage.
Then he lifted the curtain, sat down next to his sister, glanced at the sky, and said:
"If there's nothing else, let's hurry home. I'm afraid the wolf meat will go bad if left out too long."
"Let's go then. Ugh~ This candied hawthorn is so sour, my teeth are chattering. Sis, can you eat two for me?"
Lin Lanshan held the reins with a dashing air with one hand, while in the other hand he held a skewer of candied hawthorns with three hawthorns left, his expression slightly ferocious.
Lin Chunyi reluctantly accepted the bright red fruit. "You loved it so much when we bought it."
I didn't stop you, and you even tried to take the stick away. You only ate two, and now you don't want any more. What kind of family do we have that you'd waste like this?
"I also want to experience what it feels like to carry a straw target covered with candied hawthorns on the street."
If I want to eat it, I'll grab one. If I don't want to eat it anymore, I'll stick it back into the straw target.
The children passing by could only look at me with envy and drooling. They must be so hungry they could cry, hahaha. Lin Lanshan laughed triumphantly.
"..." What a twisted sense of humor.
She said speechlessly, "Someone whose teeth are already wobbly after eating just two teeth wants to buy the whole thing. You should finish your ten first before you think about it."
Although they didn't do anything as eye-catching as buying the entire straw target.
But Lin Lanshan ordered twenty candied hawthorns in one go. Few people around them thought they were acting normally.
"Put it away and eat it slowly when we get back. I also want to let Tuanyuan and Ankang have a taste."
Lin Lanshan had just fed Taozi a hawthorn, and to her surprise, Taozi liked it quite a bit, jumping and bouncing around.
Reunion and peace will definitely like it, hehe.
After finishing their conversation and eating the candied hawthorn, the two drove away from the county town, heading home.
Two hours later, they arrived at the foot of Youxian Mountain.
They didn't go to Uncle Lin's house or Yang Yu's house; they went straight up the mountain. They wanted to get back as soon as possible, so they took a detour to the pine forest.
As the mule cart entered the deep mountains and got closer to the pine forest, the two began to feel a different kind of racing heartbeat than usual.
Last night, they fought a fierce battle with a pack of wolves right here and won the fight.
"Sister, look, there's blood on the ground starting here." Lin Lanshan leaned down to look...
The ground was yellow mud, withered yellow branches and leaves, and dark red bloodstains from being dragged across it.
This is where she dragged the wolf carcass.
Further on, the dark red color changed from dots and lines to a surface, large swaths of blood from when they killed wolves.
Lin Chunyi said in a low voice, "Hmm, I even find it unbelievable, did we really do all this?" There was still some hesitation in her voice.
During the battle, they didn't think about anything; all they wanted was to survive.
Looking at the scene now, she felt it was all so unreal, like a dream.
The blood of wolves scattered on the ground and the corpses of the eighteen wolves in the house were all spoils of war they had obtained by fighting alone in the dark, facing fear and death!
Lin Lanshan pulled on the reins and called Taozi to a stop. "We're here. Those are our baskets and crates."
The area with the most bloodstains had two baskets and two bamboo baskets placed under a pine tree, filled with pine cones they had collected the previous afternoon.
In fact, they encountered a pack of wolves and were injured while chasing after a few pine nuts.
And so, I didn't forget to order a barbecue grill today, which cost me a lot of money.
Sigh, it's all because of food! It's all because of my cravings!
The two men got off the mule cart and carried all the pine cones into the carriage.
"Uh..." Peach paced uneasily, the blood on the ground and the events of the previous night making it somewhat agitated.
