301 Touched

Naturally, Xue Sifu was always busy and tired at the end of the day.

Fortunately, he still had the energy to cook lunch for the two kids. Otherwise, not only would Jiang Yue and Xue Yan be worried, even Xue Sifu himself would be worried that he wouldn’t be able to hold on.

The bustling times continued for three days. Finally, it was time to go to the blacksmith to pick up the iron plate.

On this day, Xue Sifu was still busy setting up the sunshade and preparing for business. Xue Yan held Jiang Yue’s hand and walked to Xue Sifu.

“We have to go get something.”

“Something like? What’s it about?” Xue Sifu didn’t understand.

“You’ll know when you see it.” Xue Yan didn’t say it directly.

“Alright, alright, alright. Hurry back then.”

“Yes.”

After that, Xue Yan, the older child, left with Jiang Yue.

The blacksmith was also a man of his word. He promised that he would complete it in three days. Xue Yan took an iron plate and looked at it carefully with Jiang Yue.

The scale and object were exactly the same as his drawing, so it should be just right for Sifu. The four round holes were the perfect size to fit the bottom of the claypot.

They also saw that the blacksmith was also selling a furnace that was the same as the one Sifu bought, so Xue Yan and Jiang Yue bought another furnace for him.

The blacksmith saw that they were two children and was afraid that they couldn’t carry the furnace, so he asked them if their house was far away. If it wasn’t, he could help to send it to their house.

Xue Yan said, “It’s not too far. You can go around here and you’ll reach the end of the street. I have a stall there. I need this stove.”

“That’s not too far. Come, I’ll send it over for you.” As he spoke, the blacksmith pulled over a single-wheeled wooden cart, loaded the furnace onto the wooden cart, and sent it over to them.

When Xue Yan and Jiang Yue brought the blacksmith to the stall, Xue Sifu laughed, “Damn, what are you guys up to?”

“We bought another furnace and asked the blacksmith to make two of these boards,” Jiang Yue said.

Xue Sifu wasn’t in a hurry to ask what the metal plate was for. Instead, he and the blacksmith helped to remove the furnace and the two metal plates from the cart. Only after the blacksmith left did Xue Sifu stare at the two metal plates and ask the two precious children, “What is this for?”

Xue Yan looked at Jiang Yue and let her speak.

“You can put them on the stove,” Jiang Yue said. “You can put claypots in the four holes and cook four different meals in one go. Like this, it won’t be that tiring for you anymore.”

When Xue Sifu heard this, he was touched and his heart filled with warmth. “You two really know how to care for people. Wait a minute, I’ll go buy more claypots now.”

After patting the heads of the two precious children, Xue Sifu immediately went to buy claypots.

He wasn’t st*pid and knew the size of the claypot he needed to fit in.

Fortunately, it wasn’t far away, so he came back soon after.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other and finally felt relieved.

When he came back with the claypots, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan helped to wash them. He bought eight claypots the size of normal bowls. He would use them if he needed them and leave them there if he didn’t need them. There were two stoves and two iron plates like now, so it might come in handy.

If he could really use it, it would definitely be much easier.

By the time the claypot was cleaned, it was already noon. The two kids have been promoting the rice noodles for a few days. Even if they didn’t promote it at the fork in front, there were still people who came to eat rice noodles on their own. Many people knew from word of mouth that there was a rice noodle seller at the end of the street and wanted to try it out.

However, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan still went over to promote their rice noodles, as usual, not only to let more people know about their rice noodles but also to attract people to give them a try.
