Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

Chapter 531: Mr. Qian’s Concern

I searched around again.

There was really no water source, and Xu Wenyan didn't want to continue wandering.

A few of them packed up and headed home that same day.

This short trip of the few people was quite rewarding. Xu Wenyan could earn several hundred taels of silver just from this big bag of Cistanche deserticola.

There is also cochineal, but there are also skillful women in the Central Plains who can make lipstick paper.

But Xu Wenyan's lipstick is more convenient than rouge paper.

After coming back, the little guys made some noise for a while, just in time for the autumn harvest.

The watermelons produced this season are not as sweet, but they are much better than the first batch they planted.

"Xu Wenyan, where are you guys going to play? When will you invite me to join you?"

Huo Min carried a backpack and followed Xu Wenyan to work. He did whatever Xu Wenyan did.

"We went to the desert to play. Next time, I'll take you there."

Bringing Luo Sanyuan along is already troublesome enough, and they go out in pairs, so wouldn't he be just a light bulb if they bring him along?

It would not be good to neglect him at that time.

"Hey, Huo Min, when are you going to get married?"

Huo Min straightened up and thought: "I'm still young, I'm not in a hurry to get married."

"Too."

"But Xu Wenyan, I've noticed that your elder brother and Sister Yubai have been very close recently. Do you need to worry about your elder brother's lifelong affairs?"

"Really?" Xu Wenyan was also stunned. Could these two people actually be brought together?

Huo Min said sincerely: "Of course!"

In fact, the main reason was that every time Huo Min saw the two of them together, they were shy and would blush and stop talking after just a few words.

When helping others with work, if I touch their hand, I can control it for more than ten seconds.

Huo Min looked really anxious.

"Okay, I'll ask when I have time."

"Then you have to take me with you! You must! Otherwise I will be angry. I will really be angry."

Xu Wenyan felt it was noisy, so he put on the backpack and left: "Yes, yes, I get it."

After reciting for a while, the villagers passing by all greeted Xu Wenyan.

After working together for a long time, these villagers have become much more proficient in Chinese, although they still cannot communicate normally.

But some frequently used words have been fully mastered.

Putting down the backpack, Xu Wenyan walked to the blacksmith shop. When Qian Sen came back yesterday, he told him that there was a surprise.

"Mr. Qian, I'm here." Xu Wenyan brought a large pot of iced watermelon juice and walked into the blacksmith shop.

Because this place is inhabited by men, at the beginning it was filled with the smell of rust and men's sweat.

After Xu Wenyan said that, they began to pay attention to hygiene. After all, there was a hot spring across the street. Nature has its own purification system. As long as it is not deliberately polluted, the hot spring will be refreshed in a few days.

"Hey, Xu family kid."

Qian Sen smiled and walked forward to take the water bag from Xu Wenyan's hand.

"Why not wine?"

"You are already sixty years old this year, drink less."

"You should drink more when you are old."

Xu Wenyan turned around and said, "Your words don't make sense. Drinking two or three times a week is the maximum anyway, and this wine is expensive."

Qian Sen waved his hand. The watermelon juice tasted good anyway.

"Alright, alright, you nag me every time you come here. You are nothing like the Chen family kid."

"Brother Chen is a man of few words. Besides, I care about you."

In Qian Sen's heart, he had long regarded these two young men as his grandsons, and they were the only ones willing to get close to an old man like him.

"Come on, come on, I've already solved the problem of the hydraulic press you mentioned, as well as the mass production of shells. We can produce more than a hundred shells a day."

Speaking of this, the old man's face was full of pride.

He and those guys worked on it for several nights before they finally made it.

It's not easy to get the chance to show off in front of Xu Wenyan, so he has to fight hard to prove that he is not getting it for free.

"More than a hundred is still less. What about the guns? How many have been completed?"

Xu Wenyan was playing with the bullets in the box and didn't notice that the old man's face had drooped.

I wanted to be praised, but this young man actually said that I did too little.

Xu Wenyan didn't hear Qian Sen speak for a long time. When he looked up, he realized something was wrong.

Xu Wenyan put down the shell in his hand and walked over with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Qian, you are so amazing. You are worthy of being the elder I value the most. Look at the bullet you made. It is really the most perfect in my mind.

And this hydraulic press..."

"Hehe, it's good that you know." Old Qian's nose was almost up to the sky.

Xu Wenyan sighed, he is indeed a man, he can't resist praise from anyone, no matter young or old.

"But this hydraulic press only has one day of use. Let's take a good rest today and then start mass production." After saying this, Mr. Qian felt relieved.

Xu Wenyan nodded: "This is what I should do. Thank you for your hard work these past few days."

Qian Sen waved his hand and said, "Alas, I am an old man who has only been able to forge iron all my life, and the business of the blacksmith shop is getting worse and worse.

If you hadn't called me over, I would have closed the shop and rested."

"Of course you are so great. If it weren't for you, it would be difficult for me to make this thing. I only know the theory, and I am a novice in the actual operation.

You have to help me.”

Qian Sen patted Xu Wenyan on the back and said, "Good boy, I am relieved that the Chen family boy can live with you.

Ever since he followed me to learn blacksmithing when he was young, I knew that this child was thoughtful and sensitive.

He refuses to tell anyone anything.

Until I met him again, when he was with you, I felt that he had become a completely different person. "

Mr. Qian's eyes were warm. He had no children in his life and his wife left him early. What he lacked most in this world was companionship.

It just so happened that at that time Chen's father sent Chen Sanlin over to accompany Mr. Qian for a while.

It all depends on fate.

Xu Wenyan also understood what Mr. Qian said.

He knew that Chen Sanlin was loveless and sensitive.

"Xiao Xu, you must take good care of that boy. He has suffered too much."

Xu Wenyan nodded: "Well, Mr. Qian, who am I? How can you not trust me?"

"Haha, don't worry, don't worry."

"Also, the fifty guys Fu Jian sent over are all good. We can continue to teach them."

After saying this, Mr. Qian went back to rest.

Xu Wenyan stood there thinking for a while, then continued to do his own thing.

With the hydraulic press, the issue of compressed biscuits became a priority.

Even if there is only one, you can make hundreds by working hard every day.

It's just that the raw materials are a bit expensive.

Try to ensure that everyone has one piece for emergency use.

And after this autumn harvest, we can sell another batch of them for money.

Just wait a few days to visit Mr. Jiang and ask him to borrow some money.
