This was the first time that Xiao Tong had seen someone like Lu Yan buy a large amount of things at once.
Therefore, the tone became more attentive.
"Okay, I'll pack it for the girl."
As he said this, he quickly went to call the blacksmith who was working outside.
Lu Yan's eyes swept around the shop again. When she saw the large iron pot next to it, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Lu Yan felt dizzy from thinking about the wild vegetable porridge and coarse grain porridge that she and Yu Nian had eaten at Lao Gu's house these days.
The key point is that there is obviously a lot of meat in the space.
But she had to endure the hardship.
This feeling is so uncomfortable.
If they had a big iron pot, she and Yu Nian could have a snack, right?
So, Lu Yan pointed at the big pot and said, "I need two more large iron pots, and five kitchen knives and five boning knives."
As soon as Lu Yan said this, the little boy who had looked at her with shining eyes just now turned his head cautiously and looked at his blacksmith master.
However, the blacksmith's expression was not very good.
Especially after hearing Lu Yan's words, his face turned completely dark.
"Are you here to buy things or to cause trouble? Do you know how much these things you mentioned cost? Why do you ask for so much all the time?" After the blacksmith said this, he looked at Lu Yan and Yu Nian without any hesitation.
Then, he said calmly: "I'm not saying, dressed like this, you guys don't have any money on you, right?"
After the blacksmith said this, Lu Yan's face darkened.
As the saying goes, respect the clothes first, then respect the person. She and Yu Nian's clothes were indeed a little dented. But it wasn't so bad that they couldn't even afford a penny, right?
Although Lu Yan is not a good-tempered person on weekdays, she is quite reasonable in this matter.
Lu Yan fumbled in the backpack and finally took out a purse.
As soon as the blacksmith heard the rustling sound in the purse, he immediately understood.
His face, which was full of displeasure just now, suddenly blossomed into a smile with more wrinkles than a chrysanthemum: "You two, I'm so sorry."
Judging from the sound in Lu Yan's purse, there should be quite a bit of silver.
This person is really strange. Other people hang their purses around their waists, but this person puts his purse directly in his backpack.
The blacksmith certainly didn't know that Lu Yan's purse was actually in the space, but he wasn't one to interfere with where other people kept their money. Lu Yan and Yu Nian had just been shopping, spending a total of twelve taels and three cents of silver.
At this moment, there were only 17 taels and 7 qian left in the purse.
However, Lu Yan was not worried at all.
Because she had kept a lot of money when she sold the wild boar before.
At worst, there are still 650 taels of silver notes and a bear gall!
"The things you two want are all in stock in our store. I will help you tie them up with ropes so that you can carry them easily." The blacksmith boss changed his unfriendly attitude and put on a smile.
Seeing him like this, Lu Yan became more and more satisfied with the service attitude of this blacksmith shop.
At the same time, Lu Yan's gaze swept across the entire blacksmith shop again.
Before Lu Yan could speak, Yu Nian also pulled Lu Yan's sleeve and said, "There are no weapons in this shop."
Yes, what Lu Yan needs most now is weapons.
Lu Yan and Gu Linbei had to take turns using the knife given by the owner of Zuichunlou, which was really inconvenient.
Besides, who could escape the famine without some self-defense equipment? So, Lu Yan simply didn't keep it a secret and looked directly at the shopkeeper: "Boss, do you have any long swords? Or bows and arrows?"
The long sword was the weapon that Lu Yan used most easily in the end times.
The bow and arrow are Yu Nian's usual weapons.
The two people have lived in the apocalypse for so many years and know the importance of weapons.
However, the owner of the blacksmith shop suddenly changed his expression after hearing Lu Yan's words.
"You...what exactly do you do?" The blacksmith boss looked at Lu Yan and Yu Nian warily, his expression filled with fear.
Lu Yan glanced at the blacksmith shop owner, but her expression was calm. "We live in Xiaohe Village, not far from here. I won't hide it from you... I bought these things to deal with wild animals in the mountains, nothing else."
Lu Yan looked frank when she spoke.
The blacksmith had of course heard of the names of Dahe Village and Xiaohe Village.
However, there are hunters in both villages, so why would it be the turn of two women to ask these questions?
Therefore, he relaxed his vigilance a little.
But I didn't completely relax.
Seeing this, Lu Yan guessed what the other person was thinking. She looked at the blacksmith boss seriously.
"I'm sure you've noticed that An County is already in chaos. My husband is out buying food, so it's really unavoidable for us two young women to come to your blacksmith shop to buy weapons, isn't it?"
As soon as Lu Yan said this, the blacksmith believed her.
The person opposite couldn't help but look at Lu Yan a few more times.
Then he lowered his voice and said, "The imperial court has strict control over the things you want! I'm telling you this because you're sincere..."
As he spoke, the blacksmith looked around again.
After making sure that no one was watching him, he slowly said, "You guys, follow me."
After the blacksmith finished speaking, his gaze fell on his young apprentice again.
"You stay in the shop and if anyone asks, just say I went to the toilet."
After saying that, the blacksmith led Lu Yan and Yu Nian to the backyard.
The yard of the blacksmith's shop was not very large, but there was a well in the middle of it.
However, the wellhead was covered with a wooden board, obviously not wanting to be seen.
It can be seen that the blacksmith is quite alert.
The three of them quickly passed through an alley behind the blacksmith shop, circled twice, and entered a house. The house was empty, as if it had been deserted for a long time.
Or perhaps due to the long-term lack of water, the sycamore tree beside the well has become a dead tree.
"This way."
After the blacksmith led Lu Yan and Yu Nian into the kitchen, he looked around. After making sure that no one was around, he bent down and reached under the stove.
As he groped, a cave entrance soon appeared in front of Lu Yan and Yu Nian.
When the two saw this scene, they were obviously stunned.
To be honest, the scene before my eyes was a bit mysterious.
I’ve seen on TV before how a vase in a wealthy family could open when it was turned, but this is the first time I’ve seen a secret passage leading from the fire hall.
Considering that the blacksmith took the risk to sell the weapons to them, Lu Yan and Yu Nian remained silent.
However, the two men's shaking shoulders completely betrayed them.
"You two, please come this way."
As soon as the blacksmith opened his mouth, he blew soot all over his nose.
He looked up with a look of embarrassment on his face, which was both funny and amusing.
Lu Yan and Yu Nian couldn't help but almost burst out laughing.
The blacksmith obviously hadn't expected this to happen, and his face immediately turned completely red. But his skin was already dark, so it looked like a piece of strawberry-flavored chocolate.
