Chapter 516 Not Easy (One Update)
"Smelly!" Dongdong pinched his nose and said in a muffled voice, his watery black eyes looked at Shen Zhouheng without blinking, and exaggeratedly avoided him.

"Stinky boy." Shen Zhouheng shook his head and laughed, stood up and said, "I'm going to take a bath, you guys hurry up and get me something to eat."

"Okay! I'll go now." Mrs. Chen walked towards the main room in a panic, "What do you want to eat?"

"What are you going to eat?" Shen Zhou said while looking at them with amber pupils.

"Noodles! Scrambled eggs with cabbage." Mrs. Chen clapped her hands and walked towards the main room.

Qi Yaoyao pulled Dongdong and said, "Let's go, let's cook for Daddy."

"Okay." Qi Yaoyao pulled Dongdong up the steps, and carried him across the high threshold.

"Chunxi and the others!" Shen Zhouheng packed up his clothes and came out with a wooden basin in hand.

"They're all fiddling with the vegetables! It's a rare good weather." After washing her hands, Mrs. Chen mixed the noodles first, "Why do you dislike me for cooking!"

"How could it be? Mother's cooking is the most delicious, isn't it because I'm afraid I'll tire Mother!" Shen Zhouheng said in a doggy manner.

"Okay, don't be so sweet, hurry up and take a shower, and remember to lock the door." Chen looked up at him and urged.

"I'm leaving." Shen Zhouheng left the main room with the wooden basin in his hand.

When they came back, Chen Shi and Qi Yaoyao had already made the stewed noodles.

"Come here, the noodles have just been fished out." Mrs. Chen fished the noodles from the big iron pot into the big sea bowl with a strainer, and poured scrambled eggs with cabbage.

"I'll serve it." Shen Zhouheng stretched out his hand.

"It's not hot, hurry up and put down your things." Chen said with a smile, "There are pickles and bean paste on the kang table inside."

"Okay." Shen Zhou opened the cotton curtain and went in, put the wooden basin on the washbasin stand, walked to the edge of the kang, leaned over and sat down, sniffing, "It smells so good!"

"I also fried two poached eggs for you. There must be less oil and water in the canal." Sitting on the drum stool, she looked at her son distressedly and said.

"Son, do you want to eat it?" Shen Zhouheng scooped some bean paste into the noodles, and stirred it well with chopsticks.

"You eat! He's not hungry, we just finished eating not long ago." Qi Yaoyao hugged her son a step away from the kang table, "I'm planning to coax him to sleep! You just entered the house."

"Don't eat, don't eat." Dongdong shook her round head and said in a childish voice.

"Then I ate it!" Shen Zhou picked up the noodles and ate them with big mouthfuls.

"This bean paste is stir-fried with soy sauce, and it smells delicious." Chen looked at him gently and said.

Su Liu, Su Liu, this bowl of noodles was eaten in the blink of an eye.

"Are you full?" Chen asked, looking at him with concern.

Shen Zhouheng sipped the soup on his lips and shook his head slightly, "I'm full." He smiled and said, "Get me some noodle soup!"

"Okay!" Mrs. Chen got up and scooped up half a bowl of noodle soup with his bowl and put it on the round table.

Put it on the kang table, the noodle soup is too hot, if it is knocked over by the leather monkey, it will be too hot.

"Do you want to sleep for a while, or tell us why you came back at this time?" Qi Yaoyao said, staring at him intently with her pitch-black eyes.

"There's a little trouble." Shen Zhouheng looked at the two of them with clear eyes and said, "This year, the shovel and pickaxe for digging rocks have been useless."

"Why haven't the tools been replenished?" Qi Yaoyao looked at him with concern and asked, with a gloomy face, "That Master Meng is here again, what do you want this time?"

"No, no, it has nothing to do with him. This year, the iron control is a bit strict." Shen Zhouheng said roughly, "The relationship with the north has become tense again."

"Do you want to fight?" Chen said with an ugly face.

"How do we know the details!" Shen Zhouheng hurriedly comforted her and said, "Mother, don't scare yourself, this iron is a controlled product at all times. You are not allowed to have any."

"But please don't fight, I don't know how many good sons will be buried in a foreign country after this fight." Chen couldn't help but sighed.

Qi Yaoyao frowned lightly when she heard the words, and changed the topic, "Then what should I do if the tool is worn out? Is there a blacksmith? It would be better to have a blacksmith to strike again."

"There is a blacksmith, there are all kinds of people who go to the canal, little carpenters, blacksmiths..." Shen Zhouheng said while looking at her with stretched brows.

"Then you haven't said what you're doing back here?" Chen looked at him with concern and asked.

"Forging blacksmiths is not all that is needed, for forging blacksmiths requires fire." Shen Zhouheng looked at them with deep and upright eyes and said.

"Don't you have firewood? You are afraid that there will be no firewood here guarding the mountain!" Chen looked at him with a smile and said.

"No, the heat of burning firewood can't be reached." Shen Zhouheng looked at her with his quiet eyes and shook his head.

"Then what should we do? You don't have a handy tool here, and your work is very difficult." Chen looked at him worriedly and said.

"What's your solution?" Qi Yaoyao looked at him with dark eyes and asked.

"Coal, burning coal, it has high heat, so forging iron is definitely the first choice." Shen Zhouheng said while looking at her with slightly raised lips.

"What is coal?" Chen looked at him and asked with blinking eyes.

"How should I put it?" Shen Zhouheng stroked his forehead and thought for a while, "It's just a black stone that can burn, hotter than firewood, and can melt iron into molten iron."

"There are things in this world that burn better than firewood." Chen looked at him in surprise and said.

"There are all kinds of wonders in the world." Shen Zhouheng smiled and said, "I remember that there is also a kind of black water that can burn in this book."

He should be talking about oil, Qi Yaoyao slandered in her heart.

"Ah..." Shen Zhou yawned horizontally and blinked his sour eyes.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore, drink some of this noodle soup, and go to sleep quickly." Chen said and put the bowl on the round table on the kang table, "Dongdong should go to bed too."

Shen Zhouheng picked up the bowl, drank most of the bowl in a lukewarm manner, "Okay."

Mrs. Chen put the dishes together, and went out with the bowl.

Shen Zhou spread out the kang with a sigh, got into the bed, stretched his waist and said, "Well! It's really warm because it's comfortable at home."

Mrs. Chen washed the dishes and put them in the cupboard, filled the big iron pot with cold water, and stuffed some firewood into the stove before getting up and leaving the main room.

Qi Yaoyao coaxed her son to sleep, looked at Shen Zhouheng who had closed her eyes but still rolled her eyes, and said, "I have something on my mind, I can't sleep."

"No." Shen Zhouheng denied without thinking.

"Have you figured out how to get this coal? It is controlled by the imperial court, and it is impossible for you to buy it whenever you want." Qi Yaoyao directly exposed him.

Don't look at the smiling face, coaxing Mrs. Chen, this heart is like a cat's paw, it's not easy to handle this matter!

Not as easy as he said.
