Chapter 242 Recommending a Blacksmith
As for Li Liang's blacksmithing skills, he learned them from his wife's family.
His wife was also a miserable person. She lost her mother when she was young and grew up with her father who was a blacksmith.
His father-in-law is different from Li Liang's father. He is a kind-hearted man who values feelings.
He was afraid that the wife he would marry next would wrong his daughter, so he never found another one. As a grown man, he raised his daughter like this.
By chance, his father-in-law fell under a bridge, and Li Liang saved him at the risk of his own life.
Although this child was mistreated by his family, what is rare is that he still maintains a kind heart.
Li Liang was also raised by his father-in-law since he was a child. His father-in-law knew that he was an honest and hardworking person, so he did all the housework, which was not easy.
His father-in-law was impressed by his hard-working and diligent nature and decided to arrange a marriage for his daughter.
After his daughter married him, his blacksmithing skills and shop were passed on to the couple, and he only needed to provide guidance from the side.
The only problem is that his father-in-law wants Li Liang to separate from his family because his stepmother is difficult to deal with and the brother she brought with her is not a good person.
His father-in-law didn't want to get involved with that family.
Li Liang was a smart man. After returning home, he somehow persuaded his father to move out of the house.
Of course, he didn't get a penny. His stepmother said that the family had no money and would not allow him to divide the family property.
After he left, there was no one to do the housework.
But Li Liang's father actually agreed. For the first time, he ignored his stepmother's crying and gave Li Liang an old house, which was very small and dilapidated, and then separated him from her.
His father knew he was sorry for him, but his stepmother and younger brother were more important.
His brother, brought by his stepmother, was acting in a weird way and instigating things.
Are you kidding? Who will do the housework after Li Liang leaves? Will it all fall on me?
But when they saw that he was about to be kicked out of the house, they stopped trying to stop him.
Anyway, Li Liang is gone, and the old man is old, so he will have the final say on family matters from now on.
Look, an outsider doesn't really consider himself an outsider.
Ever since Li Liang married his wife, his father-in-law taught him all the blacksmithing skills without keeping anything to himself.
Li Liang, on the other hand, was diligent and eager to learn, and he quickly mastered the skills.
His stepmother wanted to control him, but she was not qualified.
After all, the shop belongs to his father-in-law.
To put it bluntly, although Zhao Laoer and Li Liang are not from the same village, they also help each other.
He is not relying on connections for recommendations without confidence.
In fact, Li Liang’s craftsmanship is really good, and he does it quickly and well.
Xiao Wan believed that it was important to promote talented people regardless of their relationship with them. If the craftsman really had good skills, she would be willing to do business with him.
It happened that Li Liang came to the village to visit his cousin, and Zhao Laoer also remembered this matter, so he simply went to Liu Guihua's house again and called Li Liang over.
When Li Liang learned of his good brother's intention, he felt very grateful and accepted the kindness.
When he learned that it was something to be made for the county lady, he became even more serious.
This is a token of my brother's kindness. If I make something for the county lady and do a good job and her reputation spreads, my business will be better.
After greeting Xiao Wan, he took the drawings that Xiao Wan handed to him.
Li Liang couldn't help but become interested.
Perhaps out of curiosity, Li Liang was very interested in the drawings drawn by Xiao Wan.
After all, not only are each line smooth, but the details are also marked.
Li Liang had never seen such drawings before.
After Xiao Wan explained how to use it, Li Liang admired her even more.
A county princess is a county princess. If she wasn’t smart, why would the emperor have conferred the title of county princess on her?
It seems that there are always people better than you, and I still have a lot to learn.
The price offered by Xiao Wan was also fair. Li Liang thought that as the county lord, Xiao Wan would definitely bargain with him.
I didn't expect him to be so open-minded.
Li Liang happily took the blueprint back to study it, and Zhao Laoer was still in charge of the details.
Old Man Xiao goes there every day to inspect the progress of the workshop and he is also very busy.
While the workshop was being built, Xiao Wan began to consider expanding the sales of flour products and promoting potato planting on a large scale.
You can't just build a workshop without producing anything.
The current noodle products are mainly supplied to the restaurants in Yuntai Town and the company’s own Qilixiang, and are sometimes also sold to restaurants in other towns.
Although potato planting has begun on a trial basis throughout Da Qi, the people are still skeptical and have not planted it on a large scale.
We still rely on the old methods to grow crops, but in some places many people still don’t have enough food to eat.
I will first promote potato cultivation in Jiyun City and ensure that everyone has enough food to eat before we talk about other things.
This requires someone to bring some farmers who have grown potatoes to teach them how to grow them.
Xiao Wan thought about it over and over in her mind, and finally discussed it with her father Xiao, asking her father to find someone to handle this matter.
