Coming out of the bookstore, Shen Ruolan spent another two or three taels of silver, plus what she spent in the cloth village before, a total of three taels, five and six cents of silver, it can be said to be a huge amount, such a big deal!
However, she did not intend to stop, and then went to a butcher shop and bought five catties of lean meat, five catties of pork belly, five catties of beef and five catties of mutton, as well as two geese and two large fish, and put The butcher was so happy that he grinned from ear to ear, and not only gave her a carrying basket for free, but also gave her four or five big stick bones and three or four catties of pork skin.
After shopping, without waiting for Shen Ruolan to reach out, Zhang Eryong took the first step and helped her carry the things on her back. The two of them left the butcher shop together, and then went to the rice store.
There was not much rice left at home, and she didn't want to take out the ones stored in the space, so she bought rice, millet, white flour, various beans and soybean oil, and then went to grocery stores and herbal medicine stores , dim sum shop...
In short, it is all kinds of shopping...
Shen Ruolan's shopping was very enjoyable, but Zhang Eryong was stunned. He knew her family's financial situation very well, and he really couldn't think of a little girl like Shen Ruolan, where did she get so much money to buy things
This is unreasonable!
In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, and asked in a low voice: "Ruolan, I want to ask you, you bought these things..."
"Er Yong, do you want to ask me where I got the money?"
This sentence is exactly the same as what she said when she bought sheep from him for the first time, and he also had the same expression at that time. He just looked at him and lowered his head. It clearly means 'yes'!
Shen Ruolan smiled and said, "Do you still remember that sentence I said just now at Four Seas Restaurant, Mr. Zhang?"
Zhang Eryong was stunned, and suddenly remembered that she had told Fourth Master Zhang at that time that she had done a business with him on some kind of meat slices or some kind of chicken gizzards.
Could it be... Is it earned by doing business
"You have eaten the dishes I cook, how about it?" Shen Ruolan asked with a smile.
Zhang Eryong nodded truthfully, "It's delicious,"
Shen Ruolan added, "To tell you the truth, I once sold two cookbooks at Mr. Zhang's place. When I was looking for my father some time ago, I also sold a few recipes in the north and made a lot of money. So, now I You can buy whatever you want, and you can afford anything.”
Zhang Eryong's eyes moved with a clear expression.
Her craftsmanship is indeed comparable to that of a chef in a restaurant, and the way of selling recipes is indeed feasible!
After the doubts were resolved, Zhang Eryong grinned and smiled honestly, but his eyes glowed with admiration, "Ruolan, you are really good!"
"That's it!" Shen Ruolan also smiled triumphantly.
After telling the lie for a long time, she got used to it and didn't feel ashamed anymore. Anyway, it was a white lie, and it wouldn't do him any harm... She just comforted herself like this.
Seeing that he was still standing there looking at her with a smirk, Shen Ruolan raised her hand and thumped his broad and strong shoulder, "Silly boy, don't be dazed, hurry up, I have to go to the blacksmith's shop, it will be dark in a while. "

blacksmith shop
"Girl, do you want to hit something again?"
The rough-looking blacksmith saw Shen Ruolan coming in, and hurriedly stood up from the iron stove to greet her.
Shen Ruolan smiled and said, "I have a few delicate things that I would like to ask your master to help me make. I wonder if the old man is here today?"
The blacksmith shook his head: "Master, the old man has gone out. I'm afraid it will take a few months to come back. I don't know if the girl has something to buy. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait for a few months. If you are in a hurry, you can find another place."
Hearing that his master would take several months to return, Shen Ruolan frowned, feeling very depressed.
What she wants to shoot is nothing else, but a part of the gun. What Tuo Zhouzheng and the others used to shoot was the other part of the pistol. She would not give a complete gun to one person to shoot. It would be too dangerous, in case Assembled and utilized by smart people, the consequences would be disastrous.
Therefore, she divided the gun into two parts, and asked different people to make different parts, and then collected these parts together, secretly assembled them by herself, and hid them in the space to protect herself.
Today, I wanted to ask that skilled old craftsman to make another part for her, but I didn't expect that he was away, and I don't know when I will be back. It seems that she has to find a new blacksmith.
Seeing her disappointed look, Zhang Eryong couldn't bear it, and comforted him and said, "Ruolan, I do know a blacksmith with good craftsmanship, but he is not from this county, but from Halahai Town in the north of us. If you don’t rush tomorrow, I’ll help you take a trip to Harahai, and it’s the same if you ask him to call you.”
Hearing this, the blacksmith smiled and said, "Is the person this brother is talking about blacksmith Chen Kui? If so, it would be a coincidence. Blacksmith Chen is my uncle, my master's younger brother, and his craftsmanship is comparable to my master's. Miss If there is really something fine to hit, my master is not here, so it’s the same to find him.”
Zhang Eryong said: "It is Chen Tiejiang. My bow, arrow and dagger are all made by him, and they are very good."
Hearing this, Shen Ruolan was overjoyed, and said, "Then I'll call him, but I'm not in a hurry to use these things, so you don't have to rush there. Instead, when you go to Jizhou tomorrow, you can drop by and give me the blueprints." And he did."
After leaving the blacksmith's shop, Zhang Eryong said curiously, "Ruolan, what do you want to make? Can't the blacksmith here make it?"
Shen Ruolan shook her head, "I can't."
This blacksmith can't even pick up something as simple as a toothpick and crossbow, let alone the tiny and complicated parts inside the pistol. Although those small parts are small, the requirements are very strict, and there can be no slight deviation, as the saying goes , If you lose thousands of miles, if there is a slight error, the whole pistol will not work well, so you must find a top blacksmith to make it!
She took out her blueprints and showed Zhang Eryong a look, "Here, these are the things, they must be made according to the size marked on them, and there is nothing wrong with it."
Zhang Eryong took the blueprint, looked at it for a long time but didn't understand it, and said stupidly, "What are these? What are you doing?"
Of course, Shen Ruolan would not tell him the truth, she just said vaguely: "A little gadget I came up with, I don't know if it will work or not. I'll tell you after I type it out and try to see if it works."
As he spoke, he pulled the picture back and put the scroll back into his bosom. "Let's go, go back early while it's still early."
Zhang Eryong saw that she didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he didn't ask any further.
At this moment, all the things she wanted to buy were bought, and the two got into the car and went home together.
**
On the way, Zhang Eryong asked Shen Ruolan a few more questions, such as, 'Why do you know how to cook? ''When did you learn to read? 'Shen Ruolan was blindfolded and covered it up vaguely.
Fortunately, he is not a very shrewd person, and he has always believed in Shen Ruolan's words, otherwise he would definitely see the flaw and doubt her identity.
Shen Ruolan also took a liking to him because he was honest and honest, without so many twists and turns, so she took him out with confidence, and dared to play tricks in front of him.
If the other party was that perverted Qi, she would never dare to do this. She must be pretending to be a bear, pretending to be cowardly, and pretending to be dead. Once she pretended to the end, she hid herself deeply and never dared to show any flaws!
Oops, why did I think of him again? It's really bad luck for this New Year's Eve, bah bah bah, good luck...
At the end of the day, the car arrived at Taohua Village, Shen Ruolan looked at the dark village outside, and said, "Brother Eryong, I'm also taking the car anyway, so don't send me off, go back and rest early."
How can Zhang Eryong rest assured that she will go back alone, he shook his head, "I'd better send you home, otherwise I won't worry."
"It's okay, anyway, you know the owner of the car, so why worry? It's so late and it's cold, you'd better go back and rest early." Shen Ruolan continued to persuade.
Zhang Eryong still disagreed, "I promised Uncle Shen that I would send you back. I can't break my promise. I should send you back first. Anyway, the car will have to return later. I will take his car back to the town from here. It's the same."
He stubbornly refused to get out of the car and insisted on sending Shen Ruolan back home.
Shen Ruolan couldn't resist him, so she had to let him go.
The carriage went 'da da da da' for a long time, and finally reached the backing village. Before entering the village, I saw a familiar figure standing at the entrance of the village from a distance.
It's her father!
Seeing the car, Shen Dejian ran over happily, and before he got close, he said loudly: "Lanya, you are finally back, dad steamed big white flour buns for you, and they are heating up in the pot..."
Shen Ruolan looked at the man in front of her with mixed feelings.
A few days ago, he was still a stranger to her, even a little resentful, but after only a few days, he became the person who worried about her and missed her the most. This change made her a little uncomfortable, but it cannot be denied Yes, she does not reject this in her heart...
Hearing Shen Dejian's movements, Zhang Eryong opened the curtain to meet with a smile, "Second Uncle Shen, hurry up and sit down, the car is warm."
A lantern was lit in the car, and the faint candlelight shrouded the car, dimly illuminating everything in the car. Shen Dejian saw half of the car piled up, and two children who were squeezed close to each other. , where is there a place for him to sit
He waved his hands and said with a smile, "I won't sit, I won't sit. I just finished dinner, and the activities are just in time. You two sit down. Dad will walk behind with you, digesting and digesting food..."
How could Zhang Eryong let him walk, he took the car by himself, seeing that he refused to come up, he jumped out of the car himself, and walked with him.
"Er Yong, thank you for your hard work, and helped the second uncle to send Lan Ya back."
"Second Uncle, don't worry about it. Ruolan and I chatted and chatted together. It's time to pass the time."
"Hehe, it's good if you can chat..."
