Chapter 229 The barbecue grill is complete, received!
Not long after, Yu Fangniang and Baili Xinglan, who had changed into a long robe, escorted the two sisters to the back gate.
"Be careful on the road." Before leaving, Yu Fangniang was less talkative and didn't say anything about coming to see her again when she had time.
She knew perfectly well that among people like her who lived in the Paradise House, how many would genuinely want to see her more often?
Interacting with someone may only happen once, but if the time spent together is pleasant, that is already a source of great joy...
"We'll be careful, Sister Fangniang, you should go back now." The two sisters nodded in agreement to this person who seemed like a gentle older sister next door.
Baili Xinglan was much more straightforward. He said directly, "Today we haven't decided a winner yet, so there will be another chance in the future. We can arrange another sparring match. You are not lacking in strength and talent. I believe that next time, I will need to go all out to deal with an even stronger opponent like you."
Hearing the words "the battle is still undecided" somehow reminded Lin Lanshan of the time he used a sword to hold a guard by the neck on the performance stage, demanding compensation for his clothes.
He's a very straightforward person; he's a man of his word and won't budge an inch.
She could only laugh awkwardly and reply, "Hahaha, we'll compete again when we have the chance. It's getting late, we need to get going, goodbye!"
She grabbed her sister's wrist, who was holding the reins of the mule cart, and walked towards the door.
The two of them left Baili Xinglan and Yu Fangniang's sight without looking back...
The mule cart slowly made its way towards the market, and the two sisters were thinking about their competition that morning.
She even recalled the slight fear she felt when she first faced Baili Xinglan yesterday.
Because the full extent of his inner strength that he displayed on stage was something they had never seen before.
Their fear and resistance to powerful forces led them to blindly conclude that they had no chance of winning.
Coincidentally, Baili Xinglan also failed to ascertain their strength, believing they were weaker than he had sensed.
In the end, the result was that Baili Xinglan underestimated them, and they also underestimated themselves, resulting in a draw.
It's funny to think about it now; they're actually much more capable than I imagined.
They've become too cautious and timid...
The hour of Si (9-11 AM).
The two sisters drove their mule cart along the main street of the county town, watching out for pedestrians and searching for anything they hadn't bought the day before.
After all, this is the last time I'll be in the county town before spring, so I'll try to prepare as much stuff as possible.
Passing by a clothing store, I realized I haven't prepared any new clothes or shoes for the New Year yet! Let's go...
Passing by Jishetang pharmacy, I remembered how I was so exhausted from playing in the snow last year that I was bedridden. I'll grab two more doses of typhoid medicine and also ask what medicine I can give my livestock…
Further ahead, there was a newly opened dried fruit shop!
The two sisters squeezed inside and ordered two pounds of red dates and longans!
Walnuts, I promised to buy some to boost brainpower, give me five pounds!
And sunflower seeds! How could I forget last year? What kind of New Year is it if we don't eat sunflower seeds? Three pounds each of spiced and original flavor!
You can buy some peanuts and try planting them in the ground yourself. Get three pounds!
Three quarters of an hour later, the two began to recall on their fingers: they had bought rice, flour, cooking oil, dried fruit, and candied fruit; everything was ready!
So, next, the last thing, and also the most important thing...
"Uncle, how's the ironware we ordered coming along?" Lin Lanshan shouted as soon as she reached the blacksmith's shop.
no response.
It was broad daylight, and the door was open, so why was no one there? The two sisters craned their necks to look left and right inside, and called out twice before stepping into the shop.
At that moment, a boy of about ten years old ran out from behind the curtain, carrying a pile of what looked like scrap metal.
He was fair-skinned and thin, and didn't look like a blacksmith's apprentice.
“What do you two sisters need? I can get it for you. Father has gone out on errands and hasn’t returned yet,” he said clearly.
He casually tossed the things he was carrying into a corner, and they clattered and fell to the ground.
How come such a tall, muscular, dark-skinned man has such a fair-skinned and thin child?
Haha, no, that's a stereotype, isn't it? Putting aside body shape and skin color, they actually do look similar!
Lin Lanshan shook off the thoughts in her mind, bent down slightly, and asked him softly, "Are you the only one in the shop right now? What's your name?"
Lin Chunyi's lips twitched: Why does that question sound a bit like a kidnapping...?
However, kidnappers in ancient times didn't have as many tricks as those in modern times, so the boy wasn't as wary and honestly replied, "Yes, my name is Wang Daniu, you can call me Daniu, sister."
"..." A genius? Is this about filling in the gaps in your knowledge?
She pursed her lips to suppress a laugh, and gestured to him:
“A month ago, we ordered a special ironware here and paid a deposit of three taels of silver. We came today to ask how the product is coming along. Da Niu, are you aware of this?”
Hopefully, this trip will be in vain; the lamb is all prepared...
Wang Daniu frowned and pondered for a long time before excitedly shouting, "I know, I know! I was right there! Daddy finished it half a month ago..."
At this point, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and he quickly covered his mouth, his eyes darting around.
Then he stammered and whispered, "It was just finished. I misremembered, it was just finished."
"Really?" Lin Chunyi raised an eyebrow. This blacksmith uncle is quite skilled; he actually finished it in half a month.
They even tried to fool them by saying it would be difficult and take a month.
Realizing he had said the wrong thing, Wang Daniu awkwardly changed the subject, saying, "It's all ready. I'll go get it for the two beautiful ladies."
Lin Lanshan teased him with a grin, "Da Niu, do you need any help from this pretty lady? You might not be able to carry it all by yourself~"
"I can do it myself!" He didn't even pull back the curtain, and went straight into the backyard.
After another series of clanging sounds of metal clashing, he slowly walked out, carrying a metal box that was bigger than himself.
"Da Niu is really amazing!" Lin Lanshan couldn't help but praise him.
Then I went closer to my sister and helped her lift it up and put it on the ground. I squatted down and took out the barbecue grill and skewers from the barbecue grill (metal box) and checked them carefully.
Then I looked at the small round holes that had been drilled under the barbecue grill according to their requirements...
Yes, they're pretty much the same barbecue tools they imagined. No wonder they're blacksmiths who can forge cold weapons just by reading books and figuring things out on their own!
Everything was ready for the barbecue; they had everything they needed. The two sisters were so excited they couldn't wait to fly home, set up their equipment by the stream, and start grilling!
What are we waiting for? The sooner we can go home, the sooner we can try it out!
Without saying a word, they paid the remaining nine taels of silver to Wang Daniu and told him to keep it safe.
He gently placed the tools into the cart, put them on the mule cart rope, pulled it, and it sped off towards the outskirts of the city.
