Zhao Wu, the blacksmith master from Qingdong City, stood in front of the busy construction site, looking at the newly built farm.
The house looks like a lot, I heard it needs to be built with three entrances.
Judging from the scale, the garden area of this manor is conservatively estimated to cover at least five acres.
I heard that it was a military farm decided by King Dingyuan. As the vanguard logistics for Jing State to invade this land, it really cannot be built too small.
Behind him was a horse-drawn cart, loaded with the shiny new ironware Wang Yi had ordered yesterday. Because it had been loaded before daybreak and was leaving the city, a few dewdrops still hung on it.
But now it's daylight and the mistress of this house has just woken up. Doesn't she need to work?
"Didn't Master Zhao say he would send an apprentice to deliver the goods? Why did you come here in person? Please have some water and rest. I'll come back to settle the balance after I count the quantities."
Wang Yi's clear voice sounded from behind him. Zhao Wu turned around immediately, but was startled by her pale face.
"You, what's that on your face?"
Wang Yi then remembered that she was so focused on the system that she forgot to take off her mask.
She couldn't help but burst out laughing, then turned her jade-white face to the side and took off the mask on her face.
"I'm sorry, Master Zhao. This is my homemade beauty ointment. I forgot to take it off. I guess I scared you."
A few strands of hair on her forehead were dampened by the mask's essence, tangling wetly. Her fair, firm skin reflected a gentle glow in the sun. Wang Yi wasn't sure how effective the mask was, but she felt a little awkward in front of others. She quickly took a towel and gently wiped the essence off her face. Her delicate features were gently rubbed, but not a single wrinkle was visible.
Wang Yi's smile was so bright that Zhao Wu suddenly found himself unable to take his eyes away.
How can a woman of this age look more attractive than a virgin girl?
"Mom, you are so beautiful! I feel like you have become whiter!" Li Qubing jumped up and down as he looked at his mother. His mother used to look like the aunt next door, but now she is getting prettier and more energetic. Especially this beauty plaster, the effect is really good!
If it weren't for the fact that my sisters-in-law all called my mother "mother-in-law", it would be impossible to tell who was older when they stood together.
"Go, go, take Yuan'er and Erzhu to play under the big tree over there. Children don't know what is beautiful." After sending Li Qubing away casually, Wang Yi came to the front of the car to check the things sent by the blacksmith.
"Let me take a look at the goods."
Zhao Wu couldn't take his eyes off Li Qubing the whole time, and he even wanted to nod along with what Li Qubing said.
Really beautiful! And white!
Why does the mistress of this house look like a young girl?
Wang Yi had not yet realized the power of this facial mask. He rolled up his sleeves and counted the payment, then took out two silver ingots and stretched out his slender arms to hand them to Zhao Wu.
"Master Zhao, what are you looking at? Is there something on my face?"
Seeing that he didn't take the money, Wang Yi waved his hand in front of him.
"Oh, oh. No, nothing."
Zhao Wu quickly took the silver and put it into the purse around his waist without even looking at it. His dark face looked a little red, and the overall color was darker, but not too obvious.
"Have you counted them all?"
Wang Yi frowned slightly. This man was so rude, so she just gave him two small silver ingots and put them into her purse without even looking at them.
Don’t you know that the money and goods should be counted in person after the payment is made?
Zhao Wu nodded in confusion. His mind was no longer on the silver and ironware. He was lost in thought when he looked at Wang Yi. He felt embarrassed when he lowered his head and dared not look at her.
"... Once the inventory is done, it's fine."
Wang Yi continued to frown.
Sure enough, a man without a woman at home cannot live a refined life.
If I gave him less money, he wouldn't even know.
At this moment, Silly Sister came running over, picked up a big iron pot and helped carry it to the door of the tent.
Zhao Wu wanted to say goodbye and leave, but blurted out: "How long has your man been gone?"
Wang Yi carefully reminded Silly Sister to be careful. Without hearing what Zhao Wu said, she turned around and asked, "What did Master Zhao just say?"
Zhao Wu kept silent, smiled awkwardly, and didn't ask any more questions.
We've only met twice. Is it a bit abrupt to ask this?
"By the way, Master Zhao, I have something I want to ask you. Is there any carpenter you know in our city?"
"Carpenter? New Manor needs furniture?"
"Not really. I just wanted to learn some little tricks, but I couldn't ask others for help myself."
"You want to learn carpentry?"
"More than just carpentry." Wang Yi smiled slightly. If she hadn't been so exhausted, she would have signed up to learn blacksmithing as well. The profession of Tiangong covered a wide range of subjects, and she wanted to try everything, just in case she could gain some experience.
"I know how to be a carpenter. I can teach you." Zhao Wu blurted out and clenched his fists.
He is a carpenter, but not an experienced one.
"Really? But, Shopkeeper Zhao is so busy in the city, I can't afford a master carpenter like you. Can you help me find a carpentry apprentice to show me the way?"
"I can do it. I have workers in my blacksmith shop. I can come and teach you every three days." Zhao Wu said with great determination.
“…”
What else could Wang Yi say? He could only thank Master Zhao.
The apprentice standing behind Zhao Wu stamped his feet anxiously.
Master, a wealthy customer in the city ordered a bunch of utensils yesterday, and there are still three kitchen knives that have not been made. These are the signature items of our store, and they were all made by you personally.
If you run away, who will do the work?
Besides, why haven’t I heard that you are good at carpentry?
As Wang Yi watched him leave, Zhao Wu lowered his head and whispered to his apprentice, "Go back and call Master Guan over immediately. I want to learn carpentry!"
Apprentice: "Master, you are not doing your job properly!"
"Oh."
I've never been so busy!
