Chapter 58
Coming out of Old Carpenter Li's shop, Bai Fu went directly to the blacksmith's shop.

When the blacksmith Uncle Niu saw him, he stopped what he was doing, wiped his sweat with a cloth on his shoulders, and greeted him, "Master, are you here to make iron bowls again?"

Because he worked in a smoky environment all year round, the blacksmith uncle's face was black and red, and he wrinkled into a ball with a smile, showing his naive attitude.

Bai Fu was a little funny.

Since she took the blueprints and asked the uncle to make a few large and small pots, the uncle called the iron pot an iron bowl. Although I can't imagine any strong man needing such a big bowl, it is quite vivid.

"No, I want to do something else today."

She handed the uncle a piece of paper, "Just make it according to the size and shape on the picture, can you do it?"

The blacksmith took the paper and looked at it carefully for a while, and it was something he had never seen before, but it didn't seem too difficult, so he said that he hadn't done it but could try it.

"My lord, what is this used for?" At the end he asked curiously.

Bai Fu told him that they were used for building houses and furniture, called nails, and the blacksmith uncle happily agreed.

"Old Niu, have my iron tools been repaired?" A rough male voice sounded at the door of the shop.

Uncle Niu rushed out to greet him.

"Okay, okay, I'm about to let my apprentice send it."

The man jumped off the bullock cart. He was a middle-aged man in his 40s, dressed in coarse cloth. "I'm passing by, so take it back with me."

"That's a good thing"

Uncle Niu turned to call his apprentice, and after a while, the apprentice brought something from the backyard, "This is what you want, Uncle Cao, I will take you to the car."

He said without waiting for anyone to answer, and trotted out.

The middle-aged man withdrew his gaze, took out his wallet, and gossiped while counting the copper coins, "Old Niu, your job is really fast, it won't take a few days and it won't be worth it."

The man's voice was not low, people passing by all looked sideways when they heard the voice, and Bai Fu also looked over when he heard the voice.

Uncle Niu blushed, but he couldn't refute.

It's strange to say that the batch of goods for Lao Cao is really useless, easy to break and easy to break, and it has been repaired twice in just one month, so I have to laugh twice, "Don't worry, Lao Cao, don't worry about it. Get you a new one."

As he said that, he grabbed Lao Cao's hand to count the money, "Don't count, don't count, how can I collect your money."

Lao Cao shied away a few times, and finally put the copper plate back into the purse, "That's fine, I'll go back and try again."

Watching the old Cao's ox cart go away, the apprentice let out a pooh.

"I'm afraid there are stones buried in the field of his house. Others' houses are not bad, but his house will be broken every three to five times."

As soon as the words fell, a slap hit the back of the head.

"What's wrong with you"

Uncle Niu glared at him, "Go to work."

The apprentice clutched the back of his head and went to the backyard muttering. When Uncle Niu returned to the shop, he found that Bai Fu was still there.

"What else does Mr. Bai need?" He asked.

"Uncle Niu, how many iron bowls can you make a day?" Bai Fu asked while looking at various finished products in the shop.

The finished products hanging in the shop are mostly agricultural tools and knives and scissors commonly used at home. They are not exquisite, but there are many types. This uncle Niu is a person who likes to toss new things by himself.

In order to make iron pots, Bai Fu went to several shops. The other shops were either unwilling to do it or the prices were too high. Only Uncle Niu accepted the order and offered a real price.

The uncle blacksmith didn't know why, but he didn't ask any more questions. After thinking about it, he reported the number honestly.

"This iron bowl is not easy to make. When it takes a lot of work, you can make one at most in two or three days. Do you want more, my lord?" He asked.

"It's not my family's request."

Bai Fu made some calculations in his mind and explained:
"I want to discuss a business with you. How about selling your iron bowl under my name, De Tiange, and earning fifty-five cents?"

Uncle blacksmith was very surprised.

"Does anyone want this iron bowl?" He asked naively.

Bai Fu smiled lightly.

"It's hard for others to sell me, but if I sell Detian Pavilion, there should be many people wanting it soon."

According to the history she saw in modern times, the iron pot was a product of the Song Dynasty. After that, it quickly became popular all over the country and even exported to foreign countries.
As for why he knows so well, it is because the foodie son said that in his mind, the iron pot is the greatest invention in ancient China.

Now because of her early appearance, Iron Pot can't be worthy of this trip if he doesn't make a fortune!
Will there be a lot of people asking for it soon?Puzzled flashed in Uncle Niu's eyes.

He took this iron bowl home as a defective product and gave it to his daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law said that it heats up faster than an iron kettle and saves firewood. It is suitable for boiling water and cooking soup at home.

But how many people will buy an iron bowl for boiling water and soup?
Iron production is small these days, and it is not only used for weapons but also agricultural tools, and the price is not cheap.

"Don't worry, I have my own plans, but recently I need credit first, and the money can only be distributed after the sale." Without waiting for Uncle Niu to speak, Bai Fu directly stated the conditions, "If you are not at ease, you can only do three or five at the beginning. Give it a try."

Just try it, the uncle blacksmith waved his palm, "This thing is not rare, it just takes a lot of work, I will send it over when I finish it."

This is promised.

Bai Fu smiled, "Uncle, you can't tell people that this thing is not rare, I'm going to sell it as a treasure.

After coming out of the blacksmith shop, Bai Fu was not in a hurry to go home. He went to a few high-end restaurants along the way, ordered the signature dishes of each shop and packed them for the staff to send to Detian Pavilion.

She walked slowly to the door, but before entering the room, a voice called to stop her.

"Treasurer Bai stay here."

Bai Fu turned his head and saw that it was Cao Guashi, the second daughter-in-law of Granny Cao's bean cake next door, and stopped to politely nod in greeting.

"Second Aunt Cao."

After shouting, Bai Fu looked left and right calmly.

Granny Cao's family has two daughters-in-law. The eldest daughter-in-law, Cao Chen, like Granny Cao, doesn't like to talk too much, and Cao Guashi is usually the only one who is willing to talk to them more.

Granny Cao had a bad expression on her face several times because of Cao Gua's talkativeness, Bai Fu was a little puzzled at first, what's wrong with the neighbors doing business, what's wrong with saying a few words?
Later, I learned from Shopkeeper Mi that Grandma Cao became a widow when she was young. It was not easy to raise two sons by selling bean cakes by herself.

So when he saw Cao Guashi, Bai Fu was subconsciously worried that Granny Cao would come out and flirt again.

Understanding is understanding, but no one is likely to be happy about being dumped for nothing.

Seeing Bai Fu's expression, Cao Guashi grinned cleverly.

"Don't worry, my mother-in-law is not here today," she said.

Bai Fu didn't think much at first, but when he heard this, his body froze slightly.

Sister, I am even more afraid when you say that.

This Cao Gua family seems to be in his early twenties, and he looks a bit pretty. Could it be that he wants to seduce me, a young grass?

"Second Aunt Cao?"

Bai Fu suppressed the speculation in his heart, and asked in a calm tone.

Cao Gua took two steps forward.

"Shopkeeper Bai, I want to discuss a business with you." Her eyes lit up, "Can you come in and talk?"

"It's not convenient." Bai Fu refused without thinking, and smiled, "Second Aunt Cao might as well just say it if you have something to say."

As if expecting to be rejected, Cao Guashi did not show embarrassment, but smiled flatteringly.

"I knew Shopkeeper Bai was a straightforward person. That's it. I heard that Shopkeeper Bai made a deal with Tang's shop. I just wanted to ask if there was any deal I could make."

Suddenly, Bai Fu looked at Cao Guashi with admiration.
