I do research in ancient times

Xu Jin, who looks big and big, is actually as careful as a hair.

Especially for the blacksmithing business that he has devoted half his life to, he has never let up in the slightest, and has always maintained a high degree of vigilance.

So when Ning Fei casually said the words "steel frying method", his spirit was tense for a moment, and then he quickly deduced the process in his mind.It's not impossible, it's just that no one thought of doing it before!It turns out that the "frying" method of frying steel is like this! ?

Xu Jin felt suddenly enlightened. The bottleneck area that he thought was trapped in the past suddenly had a new path to bypass. It turns out that there is not only one way to achieve the goal in the world, just like he climbed these two concave caves, detour or It is direct, and you can find Yangjiaowa.

After figuring this out, Xu Jin seemed to have been opened up to the two veins of Ren and Du, and he felt transparent from head to toe.Jizi's words set a fire in his heart, burning his whole body to the point of boiling, his whole body was full of strength, wishing he could catch every detail right away and try him with his own hands!

Fried steel!Fried steel method!The method of frying steel, which is regarded as an untold secret by the Xue family and Longquan Jianfang, is worth the price of a dozen or so forged by their blacksmith workshop. not!

They posted materials, worked day and night, and couldn't sell them at a price, so they could only rely on quantity for food and clothing. It would be a lie to say that they were not envious, but no one was really tempted to vote for Longquan Jianfang.

Among other things, a craftsman who can learn the method of frying steel must sign a contract of selling himself for generations with the Xue family. Not only himself, but also his children and grandchildren must be sold to the master's family. The untold secret of the family.

Of course, the Xue family is also very good to these craftsmen.Not only are the rewards generous, but they are also given a certain degree of autonomy. With the permission of the master, they can carve their own names on the sword. These craftsmen are respected by the world as "masters of sword casting". The workshop has also become the yearning place for all blacksmith apprentices.

But Xu Jin wasn't tempted at all.

It's true that he is greedy for the fried steel method. The things they make are better than his own, so there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.

But no matter whether it is Longquan Sword Workshop or Xue Family, there is no place that can truly impart skills like Mo Zong, without any reward or selling himself.

So he gave his heart to Zongmen.

Now Juzi set fire to his heart, and he couldn't help but churn.

"Juzi, is this the Longquan Jianfang's method of frying steel?"

Xu Jin tentatively said.

"The method of frying steel is a top secret that the Xue family has kept for many years, you, Juzi..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but it was enough to make Ning Fei break out in a cold sweat.

He really didn't expect that the method of frying steel in this era has not been popularized, and it has become an exclusive secret recipe!

Fortunately, he directly mentioned the craftsmanship, which may not be the same as the Xue family's secret recipe.In fact, it doesn’t matter even if they are the same, anyway, no one except the Xue family knows how their steel is fried, so let’s call it a coincidence!

After finding a reasonable reason, Ning Zazi immediately gained confidence.

He waved his hand and said indifferently.

"I don't know about the Xue family's Longquan sword workshop, but I just think this method can be done."

"There are thousands of steelmaking methods in the world, but the rules and principles are certain. Through high temperature, the impurities in the iron ore and the ore powder react to form a solid and separate from the iron, thereby reducing the carbon content and changing the physical properties to become steel. Theoretically, this is absolutely feasible! Moreover, the method is similar to that of cooking with salt, so I named it Chaogang.”

Having said that, he asked confidently:

"Could it be... the Xue family's fried steel is also the same?"

Xu Jin: ...

Xu Jin didn't know how the Xue family was frying, he had already been brushed into scum by his own family's non-stop "Xuan Miao Dao Li" and looked at the ground blankly.

What is a solid?What is the carbon content?The two physics sounds very mysterious, but what do they mean?Is Jizi talking about Yechao characters?

"Then...then the way you mentioned..."

Xu Jin swallowed, "You came up with it yourself?"

"more or less."

Ning Fei replied vaguely.

The method of frying steel is a point of knowledge in his mind, but he was not the first to invent it. He only knew it after reading books on the history of metallurgy.

But if the truth is told, Xu Jin will definitely continue to ask.He couldn't explain how a child who had been stupid for ten years suddenly learned to fry steel, and there was no clear record in the history books about the inventor of the steel frying method. The source of the steel frying method should be the working people engaged in iron smelting. discovered and summarized.

"I just think it makes sense in principle, and I haven't tried it myself."

Ning Fei added.

"Besides, steel is not the creation of the Xue family. Everything has its own laws. Whoever masters the laws can get the same result."

"Oh, so."

Xu Jin's mind also calmed down.

He was a little disappointed.What Juzi said is true, that is to say, the finished product has not yet been made, and it is still unknown whether it will be successful or not.

But Juzi at least provided them with a direction, and made a hole in the closed furnace.He always felt that if he could catch it and smash it out with a hammer, he would be able to open up a new world.

Thinking of this, he rubbed his hands together and carefully observed Jizi's expression.

"Jizi, I think the method you said is reasonable, but there are some points that I still don't quite understand. It should be some law that doesn't make sense."

"Can you teach us those principles and laws?"

There is a reason for his caution.

Even in Mozong, there are some things that only the juzi have the right to know. The three elders or the leaders of each group can only act according to the juzi's arrangement.

For a hundred years, Mozong's method of passing on knowledge was mainly by precept and deed. The slips in Zangshu Pavilion only recorded the process and steps, and occasionally summarized a small amount of experience, but they did not tell the disciples what the principle was.

I know it, I don't know why.

Ning Fei nodded.

He had originally planned to use the winter to hold a winter vacation literacy class to teach some basic mathematics, physics and chemistry knowledge to earn system rewards, but Xu Jin's request was on his mind.

"It's not urgent. Even if the class starts, we have to wait until the winter construction is over. It's almost dinner time, so let's go back to the city."

Seeing that Xu Jin still wanted to sell that stinky sock, he hurriedly refused.

"I have enough in my box for the time being. Anyway, Uncle Xu, you know the location of the Bitter Face Tree. If necessary, I will let you come and collect it."

"okay!"

Xu Jin responded happily, and put the socks back on his feet.

Jizi said that he would start work in winter, so he would be busy building the house during this time, so that Jizi could live more comfortably after it was built. People in poor health should not be exposed to the cold!

Ning Fei returned to the city with a large and a small child, and the three of them wasted the whole afternoon on the mountain, and it was already dusk when they entered Wubao.

On the street in front of Shijianmen, a strong smell of meat permeates everywhere, and passers-by can't help but sniff their noses hard, and their saliva secretes wildly.

Ning Fei couldn't bear it either.

Since he came to this era, the best meal he ate was the fried rabbit meat with sauce, and he only took one bite and shared it with everyone. After that, he boiled potatoes in salt water every day.

I didn't think meat was expensive before, but when there was no oil in my stomach, the greasy and meaty meat that I used to be tired of became delicacies.

"Clay, thank you."

The young Juzi stretched out his hand and stroked the child's hair, smiling with crooked eyebrows.

The child's hair is a bit hard, and it is a bit thorny when he rolls it, but it is very similar to his personality with clear love and hate.

"If you like it, then I'll go into the mountains and hunt another one for you."

Clay was very happy, his small chest stood tall, and he wished he could drive all the wild boars from Niubei Mountain to his little brother Zhuzi to enjoy.

At that time, the little brother will bring out whichever he wants to eat. He has rounded up all the wild boars on this mountain. Thinking about it, he will be proud!

Just as he was intoxicated, Clay heard the cries of the sheep in his ears.

He raised his head and found that little brother Jizi also looked shocked, looking at Xie Zeng who was driving a group of white sheep not far away.

Xie Zeng was obviously not very familiar with the job of herding sheep, and the flock of sheep was ready to scatter and flee from time to time.That is to say, Mozong's Wubao was built everywhere, and everyone helped to keep the sheep from running away.

"Xie Lao, is this...?"

Ning Fei blinked.

Mo Zong was so poor that it was impossible to have such a luxury as sheep, let alone such a large herd.

When he thought about it, it suddenly dawned on him.

"Is this a thank you gift from the Feng family?"

"Yes!"

Xie Lao's face turned into a big chrysanthemum with a smile.

"In the afternoon, the Feng family sent someone to bring the sheep, saying that it was an agreed gift, the ten loads of cement as a thank-you gift. You were not around at that time, little old man, so I decided to accept it."

Ning Fei nodded.

He, Brother Mu Ye, is a cheerful person, and he presented the cement as a gift only a day after it was delivered, presumably because he is very satisfied with the quality of the cement.

He counted.

"No, isn't there too many sheep? I remember it was originally agreed to be 20 sheep?"

"Yes!"

Speaking of this, Xie Lao smiled even more happily.

"I also said it was too much, but the soldiers of the Feng family took a letter and gave it to me, saying that the extra 50 heads were an autumn gift from the young master of the Feng family to you, Juzi. You can understand after reading it."

As he spoke, he took out a wooden box from his sleeve, and handed it to Ning Fei respectfully.

"Qiu Li?"

Ning Fei looked bewildered.

He has always felt that the cultural traditions of this world are not too different from those of ancient China, and that the historical development line is probably at the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

But this autumn ceremony, he had never heard of it.

Taking the letter with suspicion, he took the wooden box, and took out a silk thin sheet from inside.Brother Mu Ye's handwriting is just like his own, his writing is vigorous and powerful, and every stroke is full of sharpness.

The clichéd words roughly mean that he thinks that this little brother Ning Fei is very good, and if he wants to have more contact with him, it is best to become a brother of the opposite sex. when.

In order to show his sincerity in being an elder brother, he specially prepared some things for his relatives to replenish his body. Please don’t be too polite, the little brother, as long as you have enough mutton, come again if you don’t have enough.

"no……"

Ning Fei massaged the throbbing forehead.

"He sent so many sheep, is it appropriate for me to keep them?"

You don't get paid for nothing!Although he made up his mind to pluck his brother Muye, but plucking it by himself and taking the initiative to remove the sheep's hair is not in the same nature at all!

Brother Mu Ye's doing this kind of thing made him doubt whether he knew his plan to attack, so he retreated and played the emotional card.

"It's nothing."

Xie Zeng shook his head.

"Autumn gifts are usually given by people with good relationships. The older brother gives the younger brother because he is worried about his younger brother's health and hopes that the younger brother will grow up well. This kind of gift between brothers, in the end, the elder brother suffers, and the recipient does not need to return the gift. of."

"If Jizi doesn't want to deal with the Feng family anymore, then he can just send it back. It's just that since the young master of the Feng family has expressed his sincerity first, it would be a bit of a slap in the face for us to refuse."

OK.

Ning Fei touched her nose.

He guessed that Brother Muye must have a new idea about cement, so he spent money to get in touch with him first, maybe the formula of cement.

Coincidentally, he also intends to promote cement.But this amount of sheep alone is definitely not enough, the next time Brother Muye comes, he will still ask him for a lot of money and pay back the money.

"Then accept it, find someone to raise it first, and count it as our sect's property."

"Good!" Everyone cheered thunderously, and they all bowed to thank Juzi for the gift.

Only kid Clay looked sullen.

He was still dreaming about the wild boar on Baoyuan Mountain just now, but the boss who came out of nowhere gave away a large flock of sheep!

A flock of sheep against a pig, isn't that a slap in the face!
