Chapter 85 Iron Wood
085 Ironwood
Punting: The wind and the sun and the rain all year round, walking through the wind and waves, there is a danger of capsizing and dying at any time.Drinking water from rivers, eating and living on boats will affect the body in the long run.Moreover, often wandering alone in the rivers and lakes, with no neighbors to talk to, is lonely enough.

Blacksmithing: Enduring the heat day and night by the furnace, living is like going to purgatory.Swinging a sledgehammer for a lifetime is labor-intensive.Not to mention being dirty and tired, the years of smoke and fire can't stand the eyes.

Selling tofu: from early to late, from midnight to midnight, working as a donkey, earning a small living, making tofu every day requires soaking beans, grinding tofu, and roasting pulp... By the time the tofu is sold in the market, it has already gone through many roads process.Very tired, how can I be willing to drink one bowl after another.

The above three occupations all pay hard work and earn a small amount of money.In his whole life, what he has paid cannot be described in words.

Watching Tiemu pick up the sledgehammer and strike the iron one by one, and the iron pillar ignited the stove, he suddenly found that the iron forging stove of the Tie family was very simple, not too different from the big pot stove in the farmhouse.

And the most important thing in blacksmithing is to watch the fire. After looking around the Tie family, I thought of the tall tower-like stove with a chimney in the late ancient times in my previous life, and the bellows that helped to add fire.

Bellows, a device used to generate wind power, consists of a wooden box, a push-pull wooden handle and a movable wooden box.

The operator pulls open the movable wooden box by hand, and the air passes through the air inlet to fill the leather of the bellows with air without collapsing, and then pulls the body to press out the air inside, and the air can enter through the air duct. In the smelting furnace, it is used to make iron.

The most common one is composed of wooden boxes and rectangular movable wooden boxes, which are used to blow wind and make the fire strong.

Thinking of these, Bai Luoxia secretly made a plan in her heart.

Bai Luoxia looked at it for a while, and when she saw some sharp iron pieces on one side, she suddenly thought of the most common paring knife in her previous life.

There are also various shapes of paring knives. The most common ones are Y-shaped fruit peelers and vertically long and multi-toothed shapes.

Seeing Baixue talking and smiling with Tieniu, the two seemed to be on good terms, and with a slight movement in their hearts, they made a decision

"Tie Niu, come here." Bai Luoxia called Tie Niu aside, found a branch and made a few pictures on the ground, then turned to ask Tie Niu: "Can you make it? Just use those iron pieces. "

What Tie Niu saw were Bai Luoxia's disassembled diagrams, he figured it out for a while, and then nodded: "I'll give it a try."

"What is this?" Bai Xue leaned over curiously to follow.

"You will know in the future." Bai Luoxia smiled.

Bai Xue wanted to find Bai Lan, so she ran away quickly, leaving Bai Luoxia and Tie Niu to go aside and not make trouble.

After tinkering for more than an hour, Tieniu's eyes lit up when he saw the assembled two paring knives, and asked Bai Luoxia, "What is this?"

"Good thing, you go find a ground egg (potato)." Bai Luoxia looked at him and smiled.

Tie Niu was a simple and honest boy, when he entered the barn of his house, he took out a sprouted potato, and Bai Luoxia used a paring knife to cover it up for him, which made Tie Niu's eyes shine.

"Brother, come and see." Tie Niu excitedly called out to Tie Mu.

Tie Mu and Tie Zhu had noticed that they had been poking there for a long time, and when they came over to see the dexterous tools in Bai Luoxia's hands, their eyes lit up.

Tie Mu picked up the other one and looked at it, then looked at Bai Luoxia with some meaning, Bai Luoxia pursed her lips and smiled.

"What is this?" Tie Zhu asked.

"The paring knife, I thought of it suddenly, I think you can make more of this thing and sell it for money." Bai Luoxia looked at Tiemu and said.

Tie Mu nodded, looked at Bai Luoxia and said appreciatively: "This is a girl who has seen the world, this thing is really ingenious."

Bai Luoxia smiled, but didn't say anything.

Tie Mu's eyes deepened, he looked at Bai Luoxia and said: "Let Tie Niu make more of this stuff and sell it, and you will get [-]% of the money, so it's yours."

"Creative fee?" Bai Luoxia laughed.

Tiemu wondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Brother Tie, you are really sincere, it's just an idea, it's my thanks to Tie Niu on behalf of my mother.

If you can do it, make more of it. This kind of thing is easier to imitate, and the first batch can be sold at a higher price. After that, it’s nothing to do with a small business. "Bai Luoxia said seriously.

Ironwood originally wanted to refuse, but looking at the peeler, he felt that it was an unavoidable opportunity.

In addition, Bai Luoxia's intention was to repay the kindness of the Tie family. If they didn't take over, they might have other things to worry about in the future, so they reluctantly nodded in agreement.

Tie Zhu was a little happy. They were forging iron to make farm tools, but if new things came out, they would definitely be able to earn money.

Bai Luoxia then found charcoal, drew a few pictures on a large wooden board, and then asked Tiemu: "Brother Tie, can you make me a few of these things? I will definitely give you the money in the future."

Tie Mu looked at it, then asked again, looked at Bai Luoxia strangely and said, "What are you doing these for?"

Bai Luoxia was in a bit of a dilemma. What she drew were rock climbing tools such as rock climbing pins, rock climbing buckles, and rock climbing flying claws.

Because the last time she went up the mountain, she found a steep and bottomless cliff valley. She was a little bit eager to stay and wanted to go rock climbing.

"This works for me"

Bai Luoxia didn't say much, and Tiemu didn't ask any more questions.

After agreeing with Tie Niu to make more peelers, the two went to the market to sell them together.

Bai Xue ran away and she didn't want to stay any longer, so she went back.

"Strange, she's a girl, why does she need iron claws?" Tie Zhu muttered.

"I think Bai Luoxia is really not easy, maybe she learned a lot in the Qin residence.

The maids of rich families, especially those with high grades, are not something ordinary people can do.

Baixue didn't mean that she sold a death contract, although she has ruined her face, she is still able to retreat, which proves that Luoxia definitely has some extraordinary skills.

You can't disclose today's events to the outside world. The old Bai family has misjudged this time. If this girl doesn't trouble them, they can have fun secretly! "

Tiemu put away the piece of wood, and then began to try the things Bai Luoxia wanted. He had never seen these things before, and he found them very interesting.

As soon as Bai Luoxia came out of Tie's house, she saw Bai Lan and Xiaoxue washing clothes at the creek, but Bai Lan looked at the yard of Tie's house from time to time.

Tiemu brought out a basin of waste water and poured it into the ditch on the other side. Bai Lan looked at Tiemu with a different kind of emotion in his eyes.

Bai Luoxia keenly grasped this point, raised her brows, thinking that Bai Lan faced Zhang Jiayun indifferently, so it turned out that she already had a family member in her heart!
After returning home, Bai Luoxia told Bai Xue: "Xiaoxue, has eldest sister ever been to Tie's house?"

"I've been there before. I took my eldest sister there. The first time I went there, my eldest sister and Brother Tiemu bumped into each other. I was in a hurry. I was shocked." Bai Xue said very naturally.

"Oh, did eldest sister go to Tie's house by herself after that?"

"Ah?" Bai Xue looked at Bai Luoxia suspiciously, then shook her head: "I don't know, it hasn't been long since the elder sister came back, and I help my mother with things all day long.

But the eldest sister likes to wash clothes in the creek next to Tie's house, and she is also familiar with Tie Niu. The eldest sister just came back and didn't have a pot to cook, so Brother Tiemu borrowed one for the eldest sister to use first. The money has not been returned yet. . "

Bai Luoxia raised her eyebrows, amused in her heart, it seemed that her guess was good, Tie Mu didn't know what was on her mind, but Bai Lan probably had an idea.
