Lin'er's cultivation no longer needs supervision or reminder.
Every day after sending Da Ya back after dinner, Lin'er would take the initiative to follow Qiao Chu and Chen Qingshan into the Immortal Mansion space to practice.
Of course, this is something.
On the second day, Lin'er, who had basically mastered the skills of sweeping, mopping, and washing clothes, began to learn to wash dishes.
Daya tried to wash the dishes on Lin'er's behalf, but Lin'er refused.
"My mother said that boys should learn to do this." Lin'er's firm voice made Da Ya dare not refute any more, so she had to demonstrate once and let Lin'er wash over one by one.
There were eight dishes in total. Da Ya demonstrated one, and Lin'er washed seven of them. One of them was broken because of his strength. Then he did not dare to use force to hold the bowl and broke another one.
Well, six survived.
Da Ya looked at the whole set of dishes, which was obviously worth a lot of money, and her face turned pale again.
But Lin'er didn't care at all: "Don't be afraid, if it breaks, break it. My mother will not scold me, let alone you."
Daya: "...Your mother is so kind."
Seeing Da Ya reluctantly looking at the big bowl that was broken into two halves, Lin'er asked curiously: "What's the matter? Aren't you going to throw away this scum? Are you afraid of cutting your hands? How about I throw it away?"

But Da Ya quickly grabbed Lin'er's hand: "Don't..."
"Ah?" Lin'er looked at her puzzled.
Daya swallowed and said, "If you don't want this rotten bowl anymore, can you give it to me?"
Lin'er: "Of course, but what are you using it for? It's broken into two halves! It can't be used!"
Da Ya carefully picked up the two halves of the large bowl with exquisite patterns, placed it on the table aside, and explained: "Although this bowl is cracked, it can be cured using the same method as a curium bowl, and it can still be used."
Lin'er: "???"
He had never heard of this word: "Curium bowl? How did you do that?"
Da Ya picked up the broken bowls on both sides and gestured: "Just drill holes on both sides of this seam and use copper nails to close it."
Lin'er Yunshan was covered with fog, and I couldn't imagine such a scene in my mind.
Da Ya simply patted Lin'er's arm and said, "Wait a minute. I'll bring you a cooked bowl when I get home and you'll understand."
Da Ya took the big bowl that was cracked in half and went home first. Not long after, she brought over a cracked bowl that had been cured.
Lin'er fell into silence again as she watched the two broken pieces being re-fixed into a bowl with copper nails.
This appearance made Da Ya feel uneasy: "Lin'er?"
Lin'er came back to her senses and looked at Daya seriously: "Sister Daya, how much money does it cost to buy a new bowl like this? How much money does a bowl like this cost?"
This question didn't bother Da Ya, so Da Ya thought about it carefully: "My mother said before that it costs two cents to buy a new bowl like this. Ten nails like this cost almost two cents."
"So if a broken bowl can be hammered with three or five nails, it is cost-effective. If a bowl needs more than ten nails, it is better to buy a new one."
Lin'er thought for a while, nodded, looked at the rough pottery bowl in Daya's hand, and then at the exquisitely patterned porcelain bowl that he had just smashed into four pieces: "If you buy a new bowl, how many coppers will it cost?"
?」
For Da Ya, this issue is beyond the scope of the problem.
She hesitated for a moment: "I have never bought such an exquisite porcelain bowl. I don't know how much it costs."
Lin'er carefully picked up the four fragments: "Da Ya, let's go find someone to repair the bowl later. Let's mend this bowl and see how much money it will cost."
Da Ya thought for a while: "That's fine, but we have to go to a nearby town to get it, and we can't go to the town by ourselves."
"You wait." Lin'er said and ran away. Not long after, he made an agreement with Qiao Chu and found Zhuangtou.
Zhuangtou couldn't understand the little master's brain circuit, but that didn't stop him from obeying.
So Zhuangtou drove a carriage and sent two little diced beans to the bowl.
Two broken bowls, and a special carriage
Going to town to eat curium, it’s more cost-effective to use the animal chews back and forth than to buy two new ones, right?
Zhuangtou cursed and sent the two children to the place.
Lin'er jumped out of the car and turned around to help Da Ya.
The two children looked childish, but Lin'er's brocade looked like it belonged to a wealthy family.
"Boss, we need to fill the bowls." Lin'er deliberately pretended to be old-fashioned, so as not to let others see that he was a young boy.
The head of the village followed the two children helplessly, staring at the old man holding the bowl with lightning eyes.
When the old man was stared at by the village head, he knew that this was someone he couldn't afford to offend, so he immediately stopped trying to rip him off and took the two broken bowls from Daya.
One was a large bowl that was split in half and required seven copper nails.
The other one was broken into four pieces by Lin'er because he didn't hold it. This one was more expensive and required ten copper nails.
Is it cost-effective to buy a new one?
Or is it cost-effective?
This time Lin'er had experience and asked the old man first: "Boss, if I want to buy new ones for these two bowls, how much money will I need?"
The old man looked at the same exquisite patterns and the delicate white porcelain body, and made a judgment in his mind: "This is the top-notch thing from the Yun kiln. Each one costs thirty taels of silver! This big one costs at least a hundred taels of silver.
!」
In fact, these two are a set, and the price is much more than this.
When Lin'er heard this, she quickly plucked her fingers.
Curium bowl is a good deal!
"Then pick it up for me." Lin'er said and was about to take out the money.
Just before I went out, my mother gave me money.
But the old man stopped him first: "Wait a minute, young master, your bowl is precious. I want to ask you first. Do you want to use copper nails or silver nails?"
Copper nails?
Or silver nails?
Lin'er looked at Da Ya blankly: What nails to use?
Da Ya was also stunned. She had never heard of using silver nails to make bowls.
The old man had no choice but to explain patiently: "The bowl with silver nails and curium makes it look more precious, and the curium bowl is naturally more expensive, but the effect is the same."
The effect is the same...
Lin'er immediately understood: "Since the effect is the same, then use copper nails and curium."
The old man was stunned for a moment, then agreed in a dumbfounded voice: "Wait a moment, you two, I'll get ready right now."
Under Lin'er's wide-eyed gaze, the old man took out his tool, drilled holes bit by bit, and cut the bowl. Soon, a complete large bowl was repaired!
The old man reached out and asked for fifty copper coins.
Lin'er was a little unhappy: "A copper nail only costs two cents...don't bully me for not knowing how to count!"
The old man didn't expect that this young master could actually count, so he could only look at Zhuangtou dumbfounded: "Zhuangtou, can you please explain?"
Zhuangtou had no choice but to explain: "Young master, this curium bowl, pottery bowl and porcelain bowl are not the same price, and the work required is different. The porcelain bowl is more expensive..."
Lin'er didn't care about money, what he cared about was whether he was "cheated". When he heard the price, he immediately agreed. He turned over his hand and took out a gold ingot: "Here, change."
Old man: "..."
"Young master, he can't get enough of your gold ingots... I'll pay for it for you!" Zhuangtou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he took out fifty copper coins to help pay the bill.
Lin'er didn't care. He only focused on the two cooked bowls. He carefully took them back and handed them to Daya. He told Zhuangtou: "When I get home, I'll ask my mother to take the bowls."
I'll give you a bowl of silver..."
Before he finished speaking, Da Ya, who was holding the bowl, turned around and bumped into someone. The two bowls that had just been cured fell to the ground and broke into pieces!
