That night, the Qingming Festival Spring Festival outing ended with a chicken and duck banquet, the little ladies had a great time eating. Huang E felt so full that she couldn't stand up. She was thinking about giving her half chicken she had carefully selected to Shizhan, but she saw Huan Niang dancing a roast duck leg and jumping over. Huang E was very surprised and asked, "Hey, why do you have a duck leg?"

The three ducks had six legs in total, and each of the three team leaders divided one leg. Tofu Xishi, as a guest, had one leg, and Shizhan must have one left - the duck leg left. Huang E clearly saw Huan Niang chewing on her mouth, and only bones were left. When she saw her dancing another duck leg, Huang E lowered her face: "Have you eaten your brother's one?"

Huan Niang nodded: "My brother is still waiting for shredded ginger. He said he would roll the pancake with shredded green onion and shredded ginger, dip it in sauce, and wrap it up with food. In this way, it seemed that He Sanlang's signature dish was just a wrap, not an egg roll, but just a pancake. My brother ate it carefully, and I was greedy. When I was not careful, I dripped the duck leg on it. My brother immediately said: I have been spreading it for him every day these days, and I have done a good job, and I will reward me with this duck leg."

For pancakes, everyone got a portion of pancakes, but most girls soaked pancakes in duck soup, chicken soup, and ate them with soup and water.

Huan Niang is right, she always wears food, and seems to be overly particular about it...

Xi Shi also ate tofu and brought a lantern to walk over. She sighed as she walked: "It turns out that chickens and ducks have this way to eat, haha, I've seen it. In the past, I heard that there were 100 servants in the kitchen at Cai's house, and there were maids who specialized in cutting ginger and scallions. After seven or eight years of work, she could only cut ginger and scallions. When I heard it, I thought it was a joke, thinking that wealthy families had just a few more dishes than ordinary people... I didn't expect that they could find so many tricks when they were eating them."

Tofu Xishi carried the lantern and walked into the west backyard crookedly. Through the well, she went to her tofu shop. The wax in the lantern was the fire she attracted.

The next day at dawn, the first thing Tofu Xishi did was to go to Li Dalang's blacksmith shop to buy a blacksmith stove. This thing is indeed legendary and is really convenient for retaining the fire.

When Tofu Xishi rushed over, it was a little late. She also opened a store herself, so she had to open her own store and welcome the first batch of old customers so that she could get rid of her body. When she arrived, the small blacksmith shop was crowded with people, all of whom came to ask about the iron furnace. Tofu Xishi finally squeezed in, and then she heard Li Dalang shouting: "I really treat myself as my uncle. I don't go, didn't I see that I was so busy that I couldn't fix the floor... Shares, my shares paid for it, and it was really money. As long as I didn't miss his dividends, the government couldn't say anything."

After a while, Li Shi squeezed out of the store in a mess. When he saw Tofu Xishi, he smiled awkwardly. Tofu Xishi teased: "Why, you're the first to eat. Although your master is stupid, the young master's temper has not changed at all. He can call people around with just one prescription, and no one is happy."

Li Shi blushed: "Where is a problem with a prescription? My master gave the design drawing to my elder brother, but my elder brother's work is not so meticulous. He casts it layer by layer, but it doesn't match the fork in the fork. It's my elder brother who made the mold for my elder brother by himself...

Don’t talk nonsense about tofu Xishi. Look at the past few days, there are many people who imitate the stove, but they imitate ten items, six or seven of them are not qualified. My master said that this is because when the furnace is cast, the molds are stacked layer by layer. Each type has different embryo thickness, and the shrinkage ratio after cooling is different... Yes, this is called thermal expansion and contraction. Without the molds carefully made by my master, someone else happened to imitate them. That is luck, not technology.

You said, my master is so meticulous, is this job just a problem with molds?"

As he was speaking, a man watching by the side of the road interrupted with a smile: "So that's it, I'm just saying, why do you imitate things like others - even if you use a ready-made stove to turn over the mold, the molds made, and the things you make are not suitable. It turns out that there is a mystery here."

After hearing this, Li Shi raised his eyelids and recognized that the person he spoke was the brother-in-law of his competitor's uncle's second nephew who gritted his teeth as soon as he mentioned it. Most people would not care about such relatives who had been betrayed each other's betrayal, but Li Shi's elder brother was no, Li Shi's grandfather who had fought with the other party's grandfather for a lifetime since he was a child, and was an enemy who had been defeated repeatedly.

In the Song Dynasty, craftsmen all had a respectful title, called "Attack", which means that the emperor with good craftsmanship would summon him at any time and asked him to make royal tributes. Since ancient times, salt and iron were sold out, and the blacksmith shops were under the control of the government. In order to compete for a limited business license, Li Shi's grandfather fought with the other party's grandfather for a lifetime, his son continued to fight, and his grandson was still fighting. The business of the Li family's blacksmith shop, which had been at a disadvantage for a hundred years, became increasingly lighter, so Li Dalang could not afford to support his brothers and sisters, so Li Shi split up early, found a master for him, and swept him out.

The so-called search for a master is to give a gift for apprenticeship. Li Dalang, with the idea that long pain is worse than short pain, gritted his teeth and gave Liu Yaren a sum of money, which made Li Shi break into a monk. In the Song Dynasty, men were unable to separate their families without getting married. The elder brother took care of his unmarried younger brother. This is the "brother-in-law" of one of the eight morals of human nature. If he could not do this, ancient China believed that such people were not human and were purely a partner of demons.

Li Shi understood his brother's situation, so he did not resent his brother's actions. After all, according to the concept at that time, it was natural for the eldest son to inherit the family business. But what he was not satisfied with was that his brother's business was good, so he began to abandon his master who helped him very much. Although from a legal perspective, Li Dalang seemed to have done something wrong, his behavior was really disappointing in human relationships.

When he squeezed out the crowd, Li Shi was still thinking in his heart: "No wonder the three generations of the Li family's blacksmith shop have no future. All of them have this attitude to those who help themselves. Who else dares to help them in the future... They should not be too slim in doing things. They should be like masters and never care about others taking advantage. Others know that there is a advantage to get along with him, so who won't come forward."

Unfortunately, there are unique people like the master. Li Shi was moved. Hearing the words of Tofu Xishi, he then heard the statements of a mortal business rival. He was dissatisfied with his brother, but he would never help his enemy. He realized that the person who was speaking came from a hostile group, and Li Shi lowered his head and hurried away.

The speaker reminded with a smile: "Your brother said that he would pay the bonus to your master as the rules, so your master couldn't control it - he was too heartless, no wonder he couldn't even tolerate your brother. He was really arrogant when he was in power... Well, your master helped your brother for the bonus. If we took out the bonus, how would you know that your master refused? Who has a grudge against money? Besides, we are not Li Zhen's ungrateful person."
