After finishing their meal, they started working again. Since Li Erlang's family was so kind, they worked even harder.

It only took one day to prepare the adobe bricks to be used next. Because the bricks had not yet been formed, everyone rested for another three days.

While everyone was resting, Li Yan called Daya to accompany her to the town to buy some daily necessities.

Now this family has nothing, no pots, pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

Taking advantage of the two days of rest, Li Yan plans to go to the town to buy all these things, so that they can be used immediately once the new house is built.

When the two arrived in town, they went to the blacksmith shop first. After asking many people along the way, they finally found the blacksmith shop in a small alley.

As soon as I entered the door, a wave of heat hit me in the face. A shirtless man was hammering a piece of iron on the ground. He didn't stop working when he saw someone coming in.

After entering the door, Li Yan looked at the utensils on the shelf with great interest, including sleds, sickles, kitchen knives, and pots.

Like previous dynasties, the Jin Dynasty had very strict management of iron products and strictly restricted the private sale of iron products. Every transaction sold by the blacksmith shop had to be registered, and the government would also conduct regular inspections.

A young man stepped forward and said, "What do you want, girl? If you don't have it, we can make it!"

Li Yan turned around and said to the waiter, "I want two big pots like that, and a kitchen knife, a sledge, a sickle, and fire tongs."

The young man looked at the girl, who was only in her teens, in surprise and said, "These are not cheap. Can you make the decision?"

Daya nudged Li Yan awkwardly and asked, "Do we need to buy so much? Do we want grandpa and grandma to come?"

At this time, the big man behind him finished his work, wiped the sweat from his face, walked over to the boy and said, "You have to pay a deposit first if you want to make anything. We don't have any ready-made items. Come back in seven days to pick them up."

Li Yan nodded and said, "I wonder how much it will cost in total?"

The man said, "Two iron pots are five hundred coins, a kitchen knife is seventy coins, and the sickle and fire tongs are fifty coins each, for a total of six hundred and twenty coins. Pay a two hundred coin deposit first and come back in seven days to pick up the items."

Li Yan paid two hundred coins and couldn't help but complain in her heart that it was so expensive.

No wonder Wu said that the last time someone in the village split up the family property, they fought over an iron pot.

The two went to the grocery store again and bought two liters of salt and two liters of sugar, paying a total of one hundred coins.

Before leaving, Li Yan caught a glimpse of the dishes and chopsticks on the shelf, then turned around and picked out ten small bowls, ten large bowls with blue rims, twenty porcelain plates, and a set of tea cups.

After thinking about it, he took two more sets of chopsticks, each with twelve pieces.

Li Yan selected her items. The shopkeeper expertly adjusted his abacus and said, "A small bowl is five wen, a large bowl is eight wen, a dish is ten wen, a tea set is one hundred wen, and chopsticks are ten wen, for a total of three hundred and forty wen."

Li Yan asked, "Boss, we bought so much, can you give me two bowls?"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper took out two small bowls with slight flaws from the shelf and said, "These two bowls are fine except for the patterns that are not well-fired. If you don't mind, I'll give them to you."

Li Yan nodded happily in acceptance and paid the money promptly.

The shopkeeper took the money with a smile and said: "Miss, if you use it well, come and take care of your business next time!"

The two of them carried their things out of the house, and Li Yan asked, "Do we need to buy anything else?"

Daya said, "That's about it. We can't take it anymore!"

Today, Daya finally saw how much her cousin spends money. 'She doesn't even consider the price when buying things. I envy Erya again.'
