Although making shovels is a small matter, ordering so many at once can easily arouse suspicion and curiosity in others. Lin Jingzhi originally planned to open up wasteland and dig canals, but the field digger and Wang Meng were caught off guard, so these news were naturally
The fewer people know about it, the better.
"Before I pick up the goods, you are not allowed to leak out the Lin family's making of shovels! Also, if I don't get the goods, you are not allowed to sell the shovels I ordered in advance." Lin Jingzhi thought about it and decided to be as careful as possible.
Some are better, otherwise once this kind of shovel is sold, it will easily attract attention because of its convenience and ease of use.
After saying that, Lin Jingzhi's expression became serious, and he suddenly gained a sense of dignity. Finally, he glanced in the direction of the masters and apprentices in the shop, and his meaning was self-explanatory.
"No problem, I can agree to these conditions. I can also guarantee that they won't talk nonsense after they go out." The middle-aged man nodded quickly and agreed, and the sweat on his forehead seemed to have gained an extra layer.
It was flowing down loudly, and I didn't know whether it was because of the heat or because I was scared.
As a small blacksmith shop owner, he would not dare to offend the Lin family in the slightest, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
A shovel contains thirty copper coins. Ten shovels are equivalent to three hundred coins. One hundred shovels are equivalent to three thousand coins, which is three taels of silver. The twenty thousand shovels are equivalent to six hundred taels of silver. For the Lin family, this amount of money may not be much.
, but for ordinary ordinary people, these six hundred taels of silver are enough for them to live for several lifetimes.
Reaching into his arms, Lin Jingzhi took out two silver notes and handed them to the owner of the blacksmith shop, "These two hundred taels of silver are used as a deposit. I will pick up the goods in ten days. If the quantity is enough, I will give you the rest.
By the way, you haven’t asked me your name yet?”
"Don't dare, don't dare. My surname is Jing. Mr. Lin, don't worry. In ten days, I will be able to make 20,000 shovels." The middle-aged man bowed and nodded, and took the banknote.
"Okay, if you can make it, it will be done, but I will also say the ugly things up front. If something goes wrong by then and I can't deliver the goods, which will delay my big event, huh!" After Lin Jingzhi said this, he snorted coldly, and then went to the blacksmith again.
I glanced around the inside of the shop.
The middle-aged man named Jing trembled slightly and quickly reassured that he could do it.
When leaving the blacksmith shop, Aunt Yu took away dozens of steel needles that had just been driven out. The boss named Jing had just negotiated a big deal with Lin Jingzhi, so he generously didn't accept the money and just gave them as gifts.
After the shovel matter was taken care of, Lin Jingzhi thought of the wheelbarrow matter. Tens of thousands of people would dig rivers and level fields. Without a more convenient car, it would be impossible.
If you just use bamboo baskets to carry it, your work efficiency will be greatly reduced and the completion date will be delayed.
It seems that after returning home, I need to find a car to study it.
"Yu'er, when tomorrow morning comes, can you teach me how to hurt someone with a steel needle?" Lin Jingzhi made up his mind and walked much faster. He saw Aunt Yu following him silently.
, he took the initiative to say with a shy face, and at the same time, he was also looking forward to it in his heart.
Hearing this sentence suddenly, Aunt Yu instinctively shook her head and refused. After all, Lin Jingzhi's current physical condition did not meet the requirements at all. However, when she saw the eagerness in Lin Jingzhi's eyes, she forcibly stopped her movements.
, "Tomorrow I can let you see the power of hidden weapons first. As for when I will teach you the techniques to use them, I have my own plan in mind. There is no point in being anxious."
"Okay!" Although he can't study for the time being, it is good to open his eyes, so Lin Jingzhi is not disappointed at all. He only hopes that this woman of his can surprise him again like the last time he climbed over the wall.
Along the way, Lin Jingzhi kept looking for topics to chat with Aunt Yu. Although Aunt Yu mostly just replied and rarely took the initiative to speak, Lin Jingzhi was still a little excited. As long as Aunt Yu didn't reject him as her husband,
It will be much easier to increase the relationship further in the future.
Back at the door of the Lin Mansion, Lin Jingzhi suddenly remembered something, stopped, turned around, and told the two guards behind him with a serious face: "No matter what you saw or heard today, please tell me."
Second Master, I swallowed it in my stomach and you are not allowed to spread it out, do you understand?"
"I got it." Because the master rarely spoke to servants like them with a straight face, the two guards knew that what they saw and heard today must be very relevant, so they nodded quickly and agreed.
"Yu'er, after a busy day today, you must be exhausted and have nothing to do. You should go back to the small courtyard to rest first. I will go to the old lady to report some things."
In the eyes of Aunt Yu, this scholar Xianggong is a weak person who gets tired easily and needs to be taken care of. When she heard that the weak person in front of her actually cared about her and said that she must be exhausted, she was speechless.
"Well, you should rest early." When leaving, Aunt Yu suddenly said something that surprised even herself. Then she blushed and turned around to hide it.
Lin Jingzhi was startled, and then he smiled. They both wanted to go to the backyard, and there was still a section of the road in the same direction. However, Aunt Yu just kept speeding up, causing Lin Jingzhi to start jogging and unable to catch up.
Seeing the gate of the backyard, Aunt Yu was just about to speed up a few steps and throw the scholar husband far away, when she saw a woman in green clothes suddenly running out of the courtyard opposite. This woman in green clothes ran, while
Waving the object in his hand, "Second Master, you are back. Can you see how my maid is doing with her embroidery?"
When Lin Jingzhi heard the voice, he looked up and saw that the person who came was actually Aunt Rou. Just when he was about to respond, his face changed slightly. At this time, Aunt Rou had already ran closer and held the items in her hands in front of Lin Jingzhi as if she were offering a treasure.
.
"Did you work all night to embroider these embroideries?" I saw the girl in front of me with red eyes, swollen eyelids like two big peaches, the bun on her head was crooked, and the skirt of her clothes was a little messy.
He looked excited, but he still couldn't hide his sleepiness and exhaustion.
When Aunt Rou saw that Lin Jingzhi didn't even look at the embroidery in her hands, and her face was very ugly, her heart suddenly jumped, and she instinctively took a step back in shock, and said in a low voice: "Well, it's my concubine Lianye embroidery."
Come out."
As soon as these words were spoken, Aunt Yu opened her mouth wide, and Lin Jingzhi picked up Aunt Rou across from her in front of the public. Ignoring the instinctive struggle of the beauty in his arms, he pushed Aunt Rou's body into his arms.
Turning over, he raised his hand and slapped his sweet wife's buttocks with "slap, snap, snap".
It wasn't until she felt a pain in her buttocks that Aunt Rou realized that after her husband saw the embroidery she had made all night long, instead of praising her or praising her, he punished her and spanked her.
