Chapter 160 Customized Self-Defense Tools
If you don't count it, you won't know. After she made this inventory, Xu felt relieved. She happily returned the child to Su Tai and went back to work.
After Xu left, Huang Xinghua and her group came over to discuss the spring ploughing.
There were a few new faces who came to the house this year, including the midwife Cao, who was accompanied by several other women.
Su Tai was grateful to Cao for delivering her baby, and her expression was very gentle, "Auntie, you guys want to come work for me too?"
Cao nodded somewhat embarrassedly, "I heard that some of the people who worked for your family last year said they couldn't come today, so I brought a few daughters-in-law over to show you. If they are useful, you can keep them. If not, I'll take them away."
"Why didn't they come?" Su Tai looked at Huang Xinghua.
Huang Xinghua curled her lips and said unhappily, "There are three who didn't come. They said their family bought a few acres of land last year and they are too busy to take care of their one and a half acres of land!
Humph! If you hadn't been so kind to give them high-yield grain seeds last year and hired them to work, they wouldn't have complained about buying land. They just became arrogant because they had a few more acres of land. If they don't want to work, then they don't have to. Anyway, there are many people who want to come to your house to work."
The Cao family members nodded repeatedly.
Su Tai understood, but did not comment on it. She only looked at the four Caos with concern, "Auntie, if your three daughters-in-law all come to work in our house, will you be able to handle the spring ploughing? My job here is not easy."
"Yes, yes, yes," Cao said with a hearty smile, "We don't have much land, and I can still manage it with my three sons and grandchildren. They can earn some extra money by working for you, which is just right."
Su Tai liked Cao's frankness and straightforwardness, and immediately nodded with a smile, "Okay! Then let them stay, as long as they are diligent and not lazy."
The three sisters-in-law of the Qian family quickly made a guarantee.
After the matter was settled, Huang Xinghua brought up another matter, with a look of embarrassment on her face. "Well, Xiaotai, some people in the village saw that the rakes and hoes I used for work were very useful, so they came to me to ask about them. I said they were from your family, so they wanted to ask me if I could help them buy some rakes and hoes. If it's inconvenient, can you tell me that I asked the craftsman to make them, and they can go buy them themselves?"
Su Tai's eyes were filled with surprise, but she didn't refuse. "I'll ask Chen Yi when he comes back, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay, okay." Huang Xinghua breathed a sigh of relief and left happily.
When Chen Yi came back after delivering the goods, Su Tai immediately told him what happened in the morning.
Chen Yi was calm, "I'll go tell my second uncle and second aunt later and tell them not to worry. This is how people who work at home are. As long as they are diligent, they don't need to worry too much.
As for selling rakes and hoes, can you get them there?"
Su Tai nodded, "I can have as many as you want, but too much ironware will attract attention, and you've warned me before, so I don't dare to agree easily."
Chen Yi smiled and said, "You are right to be cautious. I will find a blacksmith I know and talk to him about it. Then we can sell it out."
He knew an old blacksmith named Wei Laoqi in Dahe Town. There was a severe drought for three years, and Wei Laoqi and his family went into the mountains to survive. They finally managed to settle down in the mountains, and they rarely left the mountains since then. They built a furnace and made iron for the hunters in the mountains.
Due to the remote location, he negotiated with the town officials for a long time before the officials agreed. Since he didn't receive many orders a year and the business was just a small one, the town officials didn't care much.
If you contact him, it can be done quickly, but you have to go into the mountains specially.
Shen Yi looked towards the vast mountains.
Su Tai was worried when she knew that he was going into the mountains to look for someone, so she hurried to the Golden Time and Space Hardware Tool Customization Store.
"Boss, do you have any equipment that hikers often use when they go into the mountains?"
The boss was very surprised to hear Su Tai's request, "Miss, you want to go into the mountains? Which mountain?"
Su Tai had no idea, so she just said, "It's an undeveloped mountain with many wild animals."
"Hiss!" The boss took a breath, turned around to check, and looked at her seriously, "If you want to go into the mountains, you must have self-defense equipment and weapons.
You know the rules here, all swords have specifications, and it will be troublesome if they exceed the specifications."
Su Tai saw the boss's eyes flickering and knew that this matter could be negotiated. She immediately stepped forward and lowered her voice, "Boss, make me whatever weapon you think is safer. Don't worry, the price is negotiable. I promise to forget everything after I leave this door, and I won't mention your store to anyone."
The boss didn't say anything, just used a calculator to punch in a number, "If you want the whole set, this is the price."
"Okay! Deal." Su Tai agreed readily. When she returned to the transfer station, she found that her virtual currency balance was less than 50,000, and she couldn't help but feel distressed for a while.
The item would take a day to be delivered, but she was not in a hurry.
When she went to pick up the goods the next day, the boss just gave her a large box wrapped tightly and said nothing.
Su Tai didn't ask any questions, just took the box and left.
After returning home, she unpacked the box in front of Shen Yi and took out the things one by one.
The top one is a set of self-defense clothes and pants made of special metal that can protect against poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts, as well as a safety helmet made of special metal.
Shen Yi picked it up and put it on his head, looking very curious.
Su Tai then took out a large wooden box containing a dagger and a retractable sword.
Shen Yi's eyes changed when he saw this thing, "How was this made? It's simply amazing!"
In all his years of life, this was the first time he had seen a dagger that could be extended more than one meter. What was the principle behind it?
Su Tai could understand some of it, but unfortunately she didn't study equipment manufacturing, so she couldn't explain it clearly, so she continued to move things out with her head down.
"What is this?"
Shen Yi put down the retractable dagger and looked over, still confused.
Fortunately, there was an instruction manual inside. After Su Tai read it carefully, she immediately asked Shen Yi to wear the thing on his hand, load the arrows as required, and went out to try a few shots.
I only heard a few noises coming from outside.
Soon, Shen Yi strode into the room with a serious look on his face. "Xiao Tai, this thing is better than an arrow, and it has great power and a long range. It is not something that ordinary people can make. Where did you get it from?"
As far as he knew, the Langya Kingdom had a weapon called a crossbow, which could be fired by simply stringing the bowstring. It was very similar to this one, but probably not as sophisticated as the one he had.
If people knew about this, it would bring disaster to their family.
Su Tai tilted her head and asked, "Can't tell anyone?"
Shen Yi nodded heavily, "Not only can we not tell anyone about this, we can't let anyone see it! Once this thing is used, it will definitely alert the authorities."
Su Tai calmly stepped forward, put it on for Chen Yi, and put down his sleeves. "If you can't let others see it, then don't let them see it. Look, with it covered like this, who can know what's inside? Even if someone sees it, you can say it's a hand guard. As long as you don't use it, who would think that way?"
Shen Yi was silent, because what Su Tai said was true.
