Chapter 108 The Stranger
Wen Xia soon arrived at the place where she set up a stall to sell straw weaving. She sat in front of the grandma's stall selling wontons and ordered a bowl of wontons with her grandma.
Seeing Wen Xia, the grandma looked very happy.
In addition, at this time, there were not many people in the Chaos Stall. So, after putting the wontons for Wen Xia, the grandma couldn't help but sit opposite Wen Xia and started chatting with Wen Xia.
"Xia Niang, you haven't been here for a long time. Two days ago, your uncle and I were discussing this matter. We were afraid that you would encounter any danger and were thinking about whether to ask for someone to inquire about your situation. Unexpectedly, this person was really careless, and you came here just two days after you said it."
Hearing the grandma's words, Wen Xia couldn't help but smile at her and said:
"A noble man thinks that my straw weaving business is still very attractive, so he bought the method of weaving straw weaving from me. Grandma, I will no longer sell straw weaving in the future."
When the old lady who sold wontons heard Wen Xia's words, she couldn't help but feel a little envious.
It turns out that Wen Xia's business was favored by noble people. These noble people are rich people. If Wen Xia can join them, he should not make less money.
After chatting with the grandma for a few words, Wen Xia pretended to ask inadvertently:
"Grandma, this time I came here and saw that there seemed to be a lot of people in the town who I had never seen before. Are these people coming to our town to do business?"
Hearing Wen Xia's words, the grandma's face suddenly showed a mysterious smile and said to Wen Xia:
"You haven't come to our town for a while, right? No wonder you don't know some things. These people are not here to do business. These are noble people we can't afford to offend. There are other things to do here, which is a good thing!"
Hearing the grandma's words, Wen Xia cooperated very well and showed a somewhat surprised expression:
"What good things can happen to us when we go to our town? It's just a place where we can't do anything, so why are the nobles doing here if they have nothing to do?"
With Wen Xia's cooperation, the grandma naturally became even more interested when talking about gossip.
She looked around like a thief, then lowered her voice and said to Wen Xia:
"Xia Niang, you haven't come to the town for a long time, so I don't know that something big happened in our town two days ago.
There was a wife who passed by the town next to her when she followed Mr. Guan two days ago. As a result, because they had too many things, they caught the eye of the bandits and were robbed by the bandits halfway.
Logically speaking, when this official took office, he also brought a lot of servants and entourages. It was a coincidence that he didn't know what happened to the official's house the day before. Anyway, he kept a lot of servants in that town.
Look, if you encounter a robber on the way, there are not enough people in your hands.
They caught up with these robbers and were ambushed halfway. Without preparation, they were dispersed by these robbers.
In order to protect her, the people around the official led the robbers away. In order to avoid the robbers, the official ran to our town for some reason.
It was also a coincidence that I fell at the entrance of the clinic and was rescued by the doctor in the clinic.
I heard that the official’s family was old and wealthy. She thought that our place was her blessed land and that the people in the town were pretty good. She wanted to let the people under her command come and see if there was any business that could be done here, which would be considered as a reward for our life-saving grace."
When this grandma talked about the official wife, her face was full of gratitude to the other party.
However, Wen Xia felt that this matter did not seem that simple from her narrative that it was not so simple.
Those who walked back and forth in the town and said they wanted to inspect the project, Wen Xia also felt that the other party's purpose did not seem to be so simple.
Not to mention anything else, the official thought that she was saved by the doctor in the clinic, so it would be enough to repay the doctor. Wen Xia had never heard of it, and he would repay the favor of saving his life according to the town.
At this time, Wen Xia couldn't help feeling glad. Fortunately, she had been careful before, and even if she saved people, she did not expose her family.
If the wife was really injured by the robbers, unless the other party's family was particularly powerful and could suppress all the robbers around them in one breath.
Otherwise, after the other party leaves, the person who saves people, even their village, may be retaliated by robbers.
Therefore, even after listening to the grandma's words, Wen Xia did not show her worries. She tried hard to make herself look like she really had nothing to do with the other party.
After inquiring about what he wanted to know, Wen Xia settled the bill with her grandma. She naturally went to the blacksmith shop not far away.
In this era, iron products were considered control supplies of the imperial court. It was naturally impossible for blacksmith shops to place some swords, guns, swords, and halberds as they were performed in some TV series.
Most of the items placed here are agricultural supplies or inconspicuous gadgets.
The guy standing behind the counter hurriedly came up after seeing Wen Xia come in, and some attentively said to her:
"This little lady, don't know what you want to buy?"
Wen Xia asked with some tentative questions: "Do you sell iron pots here?"
After hearing Wen Xia's words, the guy showed a embarrassed expression on his face and said to Wen Xia: "The court has regulations that unless we exchange the old pot, we will not take out iron pots here."
Wen Xia was not surprised when she heard this answer. She nodded and then asked:
"If I bring the old iron pot over, I can't replace it with the new one. Can you help me make the long, cornered tube?"
This guy should also know some knowledge about blacksmiths. After listening to Wen Xia patiently, he did not give Wen Xia an answer as soon as possible, but said to her:
"This little lady, wait for me outside first. I'll go in and ask the master if I can do this job?"
Seeing that the other party did not deny it, Wen Xia immediately laughed, nodded, and said, "Then I'll trouble you."
After a while, the guy walked out of the backyard. He came out with him. There was also a middle-aged man in his forties, who was not tall, but had a tendon.
After the man walked out of the backyard, he looked at Wen Xia standing in the shop and asked with a loud voice:
