Chapter 1003: Self-made bow and arrow (1)
When Ji Xiaou brought a group of middle-aged women over there, the furnace was already half lit. The blacksmiths were all helping. There was strength in numbers, and they were all strong men, so the progress was greatly accelerated.
"Oh! They are almost done!" Aunt Li and others said regretfully.
Ji Xiaowu chuckled, "Mom, they probably haven't eaten yet, why don't you go and cook some food for them?"
"Okay." Aunt Li nodded, and turned to Aunt Wu and the others and said, "Old Wu, go get them some soup. They must be thirsty."
"You guys come with me to cook for them. I guess we'll need two or three big pots. There are so many of them, and they're men who can do hard work. Let's each family cook one dish." Aunt Li said to the remaining aunties.
"Row."
"Eh!"
"okay!"
The aunties responded one after another, and the group of them hurried back. Seeing their cute and hurried appearance, Ji Xiaomu couldn't help but smile.
The blacksmiths were working when they spotted Ji Xiaowu standing nearby, and they came over. "Madam, why are you here? It's too dangerous here, you should go back and rest!"
"Thank you for your hard work. You have already built half of it. Did you start yesterday?" Ji Xiaowu looked at the blacksmith and asked. "Brother, what is your name?"
"My name is Lin Tie, and everyone calls me Tietou." Lin Tie said to Ji Xiaomu, "We have nothing to do there anyway, so why not come and help? There is strength in numbers, and if we all work together, it will definitely be faster."
"So what did you eat yesterday?" asked Ji Xiaomu with concern.
Lin Tie paused, then said nonchalantly, "I just ate some with the craftsmen."
Seeing Lin Tie stiffen for a moment, Ji Xiaomu guessed something in her heart. They must have not eaten yesterday, and they are helping out today despite being hungry. "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard. We are ordinary people and we don't have any special skills. We can only do something for Heyang City to the best of our ability." Lin Tie shook his head quickly. They, the blacksmiths, don't have any strength except for some strength. These are the only small things they can do. It's really embarrassing.
"Madam, I'm going to be busy now. You should go back and have some rest!" Lin Tie said to Ji Xiaomu, then turned around and went back to help.
Ji Xiaowu looked at the seven stoves that formed a semicircle, and their eyes were filled with blazing heat. The Bai family disciple in charge saw Ji Xiaowu and hurried over. "Madam, why are you here?"
"I came to see you. Thank you for your hard work." Aunt Ji chuckled at the disciples of the Bai family.
"Madam, what are you talking about? If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to live in peace now." The Bai family disciple said seriously. "The news we received yesterday said that the main city has become a mess and the families have run out of food. The head of the family specifically told us that if it weren't for the food provided by Madam, we would probably have been caught up in that chaos."
"Is it already so messy?" Mother Ji was stunned.
"Yes, there is already a famine in various places because the three princes handed over all the food to support the army, causing the people to suffer terribly, and many people starved to death due to lack of food." The disciple of the Bai family sighed, "Today, the head of the family specifically told us about this and solemnly declared that the lady is the savior of our Bai family."
"Not really, not really..." said Ji Xiaomu embarrassedly.
The Bai family disciple shook his head. "It may not seem like a big deal to Madam, but in our hearts, we will remember everything Madam has done."
