Zhao Ajiao had long since cut off the fibers and grass. They were for a long time, and the people from Zhao Family thought they were weeds, so they didn't care too much about it. It just so happened to be a good opportunity for Zhao Ajiao.

The hemp fiber was a bit yellow, but this was just right. It would be more convenient to rinse it and save some time.

Zhao Ajiao remembered that in her previous book she had written about the process of softening fibre-hemp. She remembered the rough method, and wondered if some of the ancient crafts could reach that level.

The first thing he had to do was to harvest the hemp, and the harvesting time was especially important. He had to do it at a time when the hemp seemed to be ripe yet not ripe. At that time, the toughness of the hemp was the best.

Secondly, he had to start cutting the hemp. He had to cut the hemp into sections, and the method of cutting the hemp had to be very correct. Otherwise, even if he had wasted his time, every step was very important.

"Ah, why is it wrong? Could it be that the usage of the blade is wrong?" Zhao Ajiao was confused. The hemp she cut was always piece by piece and too thick to reach the desired depth.

Zhao Ajiao thought for a long time and tried it out a few more times, but it was still the same as before.

He remembered correctly, it was cut like this. Since his method wasn't wrong, could the raw materials be wrong?

Zhao Ajiao looked carefully at the shape of the knife she used. Originally, it was used by Zhao Family to mow down fodder for livestock.

The whole blade was stained with rust. Zhao Ajiao had already felt it when she was chopping down. Could it be that the blade was too blunt? Zhao Ajiao thought to herself.

As she had just arrived here, she didn't know much about this place. Never mind, she would ask Mrs Yu later. Zhao Ajiao was happy to clean up the cut fiber marijuana just like a little girl.

In the evening, Mrs Yu and Zhao Ajiao's mother talked about hearttime.

"It's cold at night, quickly cover yourself with the blanket." Mrs Yu pulled on Zhao Ajiao's quilt, which was already starting to come out of the cotton.

"Mom, it's okay. My body is still strong, and I'm not a child anymore. Mom, you don't have to worry about me." Zhao Ajiao enjoyed Mrs Yu's care and concern.

"No matter how old you are, you are still a child in my mother's heart. However, mother has let you down. I will make you suffer here every day." Mrs Yu always felt that she had let Zhao Ajiao down. A good child, because of his rough times, had become silly and had to be bullied every day by a big house.

Even if everything was fine now, the family was very poor and they couldn't do anything for Zhao Ajiao.

"Mom, it's really okay. I have mom and Yong'an, that's enough. I'm not afraid of anything." Zhao Ajiao rubbed Mrs Yu's hand, acting like a little girl acting coquettishly towards her mother.

"You, when will you truly grow up?" Mrs Yu pinched Zhao Ajiao's nose.

"Mom, do you know where I can find a knife?" Zhao Ajiao suddenly asked Mrs Yu.

"When we're cutting tools, we usually go to the marketplace at the other end of the village. There is a blacksmith shop there, and normally, we go there whenever we want to. Why are you asking this? "

"No, Mother, I'm just curious."

"Alright, alright, alright. Don't get into any more trouble, go to sleep." Mrs Yu hummed a song and Zhao Ajiao fell asleep listening to it.

Zhao Ajiao had a particularly good dream tonight, in which she brought Mrs Yu and Zhao Yong'an back to modern times. As a top student of Wall Street's finance and investment industry, Zhao Ajiao earned a lot of money, making Mrs Yu and Zhao Yong'an live a happy life.

In the dream, Zhao Ajiao had a close relationship with the man, but Zhao Ajiao couldn't see his face clearly. All Zhao Ajiao could see was the man's back. Suddenly, the man turned around, and Zhao Ajiao suddenly woke up in fright.

How could it be that smiling face Gu Ye? It must be just a dream, this is just a dream, don't mind it too much. Zhao Ajiao patted her chest, intending to see where the blacksmith shop was located.

Although the Li Family Village wasn't big, it still had a winding road ahead of it. In ancient times, there were no transportation vehicles. Horses were usually used by wealthy families. Ordinary families all relied on walking to get there.

Zhao Ajiao brought her rations with her, intending to take a look outside the village.

This was the first time Zhao Ajiao had truly seen someone from the Lee family village. Could it be that her reputation was this great? Why was it that even after she came out, the people on the roadside were all whispering to her and looking at her?

The people of the Li Family Village especially looked down on the outsiders. Zhao Ajiao was a fool in the past, so many people naturally knew about it. The idiots were fine, but the people of the village were also very curious.

"Um, grandpa, how can I get to the blacksmith shop?" In her previous life, Zhao Ajiao was an idiot and could travel on a map on her phone. This was ancient times, and there was nothing she could do. Zhao Ajiao could only find someone to ask for directions.

"I don't know, I don't know." The old man waved his hand and quickly left.

"Aunt, that …" Noticing that her master was ignoring her, Zhao Ajiao wanted to find an aunt to ask her for directions, but her aunt seemed to have seen something and kept her distance as well.

Zhao Ajiao wanted to ask more people, but they all avoided her as if she was a plague, walking away from her one by one.

Although Zhao Ajiao didn't know why, she couldn't force them either. She had to slowly find the way by herself.

I really want to cry but have no tears. There are so many roads, where do you want me to go? Ahhh, Lu Chi can't afford to hurt me. Zhao Ajiao was on the verge of collapse.

Luckily, Zhao Ajiao was not that lost. She fell down and blurrily made her way to the market.

The bazaar from ancient times was very lively. In addition to the several miles around here, there was only one bazaar. Everyone came here to buy things, so there were many people here. It was especially lively.

"Sugar gourd, Sugar gourd …" A particularly delicious candied fruit! "

"Come, come, come! This big, fragrant steamed bun is cheap and delicious. Everyone, come and take a look!"

"Sir, please come in!"

Everyone in the bazaar was shouting. The bazaar was bustling with activity, with merchants hawking their wares and waiters calling out to them. People were coming and going, and the bazaar was bustling with noise and excitement.

Wow, this place is really lively. It's comparable to a modern supermarket. This one looked good, but the workmanship was so exquisite. It was as if Zhao Ajiao had discovered a new continent, and she was especially curious.

However, he had no money and was looking for a blacksmith shop, so he couldn't forget about his business. Zhao Ajiao wanted to see more, but after thinking about her business, she left.

Fortunately, there was a blacksmith's shop at the end of the market.

It was a school with a few alleys. All the children in the school had finished school, and the only sound that could be heard was the "ding-ding-ding-ding-dong" sound from the blacksmith shop.

"Boss, if you were to use a knife here, how much would it cost?"

"Start at the bottom with fifty cents. Let's see what you're going to do with it, then you can take the money." The blacksmith did not look up from his work.

Zhao Ajiao dug in her pockets. It was empty. She really wanted to buy it, but she didn't have a dime.

Zhao Ajiao walked away dejectedly. She had to get some money.

When they arrived at the entrance of a restaurant, the waiter was especially enthusiastic as he shouted the entire time.

A notice outside the restaurant gave Zhao Ajiao hope.

"We are standing here to accept all the dishes. If anyone wants to try, please go to the back door of the kitchen and find Shopkeeper Liu."

Yes, I can go to the mountain and pick some fir fungus for the restaurant. The people here never eat fowl and fir fungi, so it's actually very good and nutritious. If I sell it to the restaurant, I can definitely earn money. Zhao Ajiao made up her mind. She was sure that she could succeed.

The next day.

Zhao Ajiao came to the restaurant early in the morning after gathering a lot of fir and chicken fungus, hoping to find Manager Liu to identify the goods.

"Excuse me, where is Manager Liu?" There was actually someone watching from the back door. Who stole your money? There were still people guarding the back door of the restaurant.

"Here, line up in front and wait." Zhao Ajiao looked in the direction she was pointing at. A lot of people were queuing up with carts full of fruits and vegetables. Some of them had even brought pork. It was a terrifying sight to behold. All kinds of flavors were mixed together, making it unforgettable.

"How can you let me have meat like this for so many days? Get out!" Zhao Ajiao was queuing up and was finally about to reach the door when she heard a burst of scolding coming from inside.

Following which, a bare-chested pork man and a pile of pork were thrown out.

The scene was too horrible to look at. The pork man quietly picked up his pork and ran away. Zhao Ajiao felt pain as she looked at it.

After waiting for a long time, they were finally about to arrive at Zhao Ajiao.

"Manager Liu, can you see mine?" The person in front was pulling a cart full of watermelons. Manager Liu looked really powerful, but he was still easy to pull.

"Look at your watermelon, there are several holes, do you think you can take them? Pull, pull, pull. "Don't be annoying here." Manager Liu waved his hand and the man and the watermelon were thrown out together.

"What's in your basket?" Manager Liu asked Zhao Ajiao.

"Ah, Manager Liu, this mushroom that I just picked from the mountain is especially fresh." Why did Zhao Ajiao suddenly feel like she was trying to please him? No, that's not right, this wasn't the real Zhao Ajiao.

"Girl, I say, you can't be fir fungus, right? Do you know that eating this will kill people? Do you want all of my customers to die?" Manager Liu could tell at a glance what it was.

"Manager Liu, I've already eaten this before. It really won't kill you, and it tastes especially good. If you don't believe me, I'll eat it on the spot for you to see." For the sake of money, I'm going to give it my all.

Zhao Ajiao said as she stuffed a handful of fir fungus into her mouth.
