I have to buy more jars today. They are really not enough.
There were a lot of people early in the morning, and soon the food was almost gone. Lin Wanwan started to pack up the remaining food, and there were still some hawthorns left, which she gave to the aunts and uncles around.
She would go to the pharmacy soon to deliver the medicine she had promised to Manager Wu yesterday, and asked Li Yuying to buy a few more jars, and then she would go back.
She came to the medicine shop carrying the basket on her back. The little medicine boy inside saw her and asked, "Girl, you are here. Do you want to sell herbs today?"
Lin Wanwan shook her head. "I'm not selling herbs today. I'm sending some food to your shopkeeper. Can you find me a clean jar?"
After that, he handed the things to the boy. Seeing that he was a little hesitant, he said, "Don't worry. I told your shopkeeper yesterday. Just send it over."
The little boy nodded and ran back to the back hall with his things.
Not long after, he came out with another jar and handed it to Lin Wan.
"This is clean. It was just hung out to dry yesterday."
Lin Wanwan took it and scooped the peach jam into the jar.
"This is peach jam. You can drink it directly by soaking it in water. It can be cold or hot. You can try it later."
He took the jar and thanked Lin Wanwan.
Lin Wanwan waved her hand and said, "I sell it at the morning market every day. If you have finished eating, just go to the morning market to find me."
After saying that, she packed her things and walked out of the medicine shop. She also had to go to the butcher shop to pick up the pork offal that she had ordered from the butcher Wang yesterday.
Wang Shuigen saw Lin Wanwan coming and greeted her gently.
"Little girl, you are here. I have left two sets of pig offal for you today. Do you want them both?"
"Yes! Uncle Wang, please pack it for me. If there are any extras in the future, just keep them for me."
"Okay!"
Wang Shuigen packed the things neatly and put them into Lin Wan's backpack.
Lin Wan asked him: "Uncle Wang, I want to buy a pot, where should I buy it?"
"Go to Zhao's Blacksmith Shop on the back street. Walk along this street to the end, then turn left and keep going until you see it."
"Okay, thank you Uncle Wang!"
"You're welcome!"
Lin Wanwan paid the money and walked along the path he pointed out. Sure enough, she saw Zhao’s blacksmith shop, where a strong man was hammering something with a hammer.
Zhao Dachui saw someone coming and looked up and asked, "Little girl, what do you want to buy?"
Lin Wanwan walked in and took a look around. She saw that the items were quite complete. She stopped in front of the iron pot and turned to ask him, "Manager Zhao, how much is this iron pot?"
"The big one is one ounce and two ounces, and the smaller one is one ounce."
Lin Wanwan walked over and weighed it. It was indeed made of real material, weighing more than ten pounds.
"I want two big pots, can you make it cheaper?"
Zhao Dachui sighed and said, "Little girl, I really can't save you money. The price of iron has risen again recently. The price I sell is already very cheap. The whole family needs to eat, right? How about this, I will give you two more lids. They are all made by me, and they are very sturdy."
Lin Wanwan picked up the pot lid and looked at it. It was indeed made sturdily. She nodded and asked him, "Manager Zhao, do you have a flat pan? The kind that is flat."
Shopkeeper Zhao was a little puzzled, "This pot can be flat? How come I didn't know what you said?"
Lin Wanwan had no choice but to find a piece of black charcoal and draw it on the ground. "The surface of the pot is flat and thicker. The bottom is similar to a large stove, but they are all made of iron. This flat pot can also be taken down..."
Lin Wanwan explained carefully to Manager Zhao, and the two discussed it repeatedly. Finally, the boss nodded in agreement.
"Little girl, you used a lot of iron. It should be more expensive if it is done well."
"It's okay. I'll pay the deposit to the shopkeeper later. By the way, I'd also like to trouble Shopkeeper Zhao to make me another pot. The pot should be deeper and have two handles on the edge so that it is easier to lift."
“This is easy, I can do it!”
Lin Wanwan took out a five-liang silver ingot and handed it to him.
"Manager Zhao, this is the money for the pot and the deposit. If it's not enough, I'll give it to you when I come to get the pot."
"Okay, don't worry, little girl. I will make it strong and beautiful for you!"
"Then I'll trouble Shopkeeper Zhao! Oh, by the way, could you please help me deliver it to the county gate? I can't carry it."
"No problem!" Zhao Dachui shouted into the inner room, "Iron Bull!"
After a while, a young man with sweat all over his forehead ran out.
"What's wrong, Dad?"
"This little girl bought two pots from our house. Go and help her deliver them to the county gate."
"Okay! I'll go right away!"
"Hey, little brother, wait a minute!" Lin Wanwan called out to him, "Please help me get to Lin Youcai's ox cart in Linjia Village. I still need to buy some more things. Thank you for your help, little brother!"
"Okay, that's okay, Linjia Village, right? I'll remember it.
After saying that, he carried two pots on his back and ran outside.
Lin Wanwan walked out of the blacksmith shop and continued to walk forward. There were livestock sellers and a dental dealer! If she wanted to open a shop, she had to first ask the dental dealer if there was a suitable storefront! So she immediately walked in.
There were many people gathered in the shop, some were renting out the shop, some were renting and buying the shop. A few of the shop assistants looked at her for a few seconds and then continued with their work.
A young man in his twenties or thirties came up and asked, "Young girl, do you want to sell your shop? I'm Wang Ergui, a clerk in the pawn shop. If you want to sell, just tell me."
Lin Wanwan nodded at him and said, "Brother Wang, I want to open a food shop and I want to come and ask for advice."
"To make food. Let me think, how big do you want it to be?"
"It doesn't have to be too big, just enough to fit six or seven tables. It should also be easy to get water, as cooking requires a lot of water."
