Straight man of steel

Chapter 6 Why not eat minced meat? ? ?
Putting aside this weird phenomenon for a while, Zhang Yuan's energy returned to this method of pouring steel.

Not to mention being able to create a great achievement, you can't just point to a woman to support yourself.

Otherwise, how can you be right to God, and how to be right to your own body. This should be a system called How Steel is Tempered.

Just now Zhang Yuan just took a rough look at the steel pouring method.

Now he wants to study it carefully, if he doesn't make fine steel, if he just talks about it, Zhuo Wangsun will only regard him as a little boy who wants to spoil his daughter.

This silk paper first briefly introduces the shortcomings of the two steelmaking processes in this era.

It is clearly pointed out that the steel frying process is too complicated, and the steelmaking technology is labor-intensive and time-consuming, and then the steel pouring method is introduced.

Around the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the initial form of the new steelmaking process "Guanggang" method may have appeared.During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Qi Wuhuaiwen made major improvements and perfections to this steelmaking process.

Compared with the steel frying method and the steelmaking technology, the steel pouring method has a shorter smelting time, higher production efficiency, and greatly improved steel output and quality. The most important thing is that the steel pouring method is easy to operate and easy to master.

After introducing the source and advantages of the steel pouring method, the next step is the serious operation method.

There are three methods of operation.

High-grade iron ore is selected to smelt high-quality pig iron. Then, liquid pig iron is poured on wrought iron, and after several degrees of smelting, the iron is carburized into steel.

The pig iron sheet is embedded in the middle of the coiled wrought iron bar, the steelmaking furnace is sealed with mud, and it is smelted to carburize the iron into steel.

Cover the pig iron sheets on several tightly tied wrought iron sheets so that the pig iron liquid can penetrate into the wrought iron more evenly.Instead of sealing it with mud, use mud-coated straw sandals to cover the furnace mouth so that the pig iron can get oxygen from the air and melt more easily, allowing the iron to carburize into steel.

Although the three methods are written above, the principles are still the same. The three methods introduced are also the optimization process of the steel filling method.

Pig iron, wrought iron and steel are actually an alloy, but due to the different proportions of carbon in the alloy, the properties are different.

The steel filling method is actually the process of reducing the carbon content of pig iron to form steel, or increasing the carbon content of wrought iron to form steel.

After reading it, Zhang Yuan closed his eyes and imagined a lot of practical operations in his mind, and finally came to a conclusion that he still had to go back to the workshop, otherwise the steel would not come out.

But before that, Zhang Yuan still has a job to do, which is to re-copy the Guangang method on the silk with official script, and remove all the things that shouldn't be there, such as the names of dynasties and others. Name, leaving only one of the most primitive ways.

Just like writing poems for Zhuo Wenjun, you have to leave some surplus food, isn't it? This method of pouring steel can be used at least three times in Zhang Yuan's mind.

There were not many words to be transcribed, and Zhang Yuan finished it in a short while.After hiding the two copies of silk under his bed, Zhang Yuan began to think about how to dedicate the original version of Guangang method to Zhuo Wensun in exchange for what he needed.

"What am I missing now?"

Lack of money?Need a house?Missing a wife?
It seems that Zhuo Wangsun can only give Zhang Yuan these three things. After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Yuan feels that he has really lost money to his grandma's family.

If there is a channel to dedicate this Guangang method to the current emperor Han Jingdi Liu Qi, it will not be too much to exchange the wealth of the three Zhuo families.

Temporarily suppressing the impulse in his heart, Zhang Yuan planned to wait for an excellent opportunity or when he had something to ask for, and then use this Guangang method to negotiate conditions with Zhuo Wangsun.

"Xiaoqing, come here and rub your young master's shoulders."

What's the point of being alive if you don't enjoy it when you have the conditions.

Hearing Zhang Yuan's shout, Xiao Qing ran over quickly, her face was so cute and pink.

It may be that Zhuo Wenjun often gave massages before, but Xiaoqing's technique is still very good.

Pressing down from the shoulder to the arm in this way, Zhang Yuan's soreness relieved a lot, and he opened his mouth to chat with Xiao Qing in a good mood.

"How old is Xiaoqing?"

"The servant girl is 14 years old this year."

Still a child, Zhang Yuan didn't remember at all when he sighed in his heart, now he is only a 16-year-old boy.

In a blink of an eye, Zhang Yuan tilted his head and fell asleep again. He only did two things that day, writing and sleeping.

If he doesn't know how to hold a pen, Zhang Yuan is a pig, the appraisal is over.

"My lord, my lord, it's time to eat."

Zhang Yuan finally woke up under Xiao Qing's calling.

I have really become a fat pig raised by Zhuo Wenjun, I only eat and sleep.

The first thing he did when he woke up, Zhang Yuan laughed at himself from the bottom of his heart, and imagined that he would ravage Zhuo Wenjun after he developed himself.

He grinned lewdly, but when he saw the food Xiaoqing brought, the laughter stopped abruptly.

"what is this?"

"Minute meat, the young master may not have eaten it before, but the eldest daughter rewarded the maidservant to eat it once. This is the most delicious food that the maidservant has eaten since she was born."

Looking at the milky white fat floating on the minced meat in front of him, Zhang Yuan wanted to vomit.Although Zhang Yuan's stomach had been scraped off by three months of coarse grains for a long time, but seeing this bowl of minced meat that was basically full of fat, he still restrained his body's instinctive desire.

"Put it aside, you can eat it later."

"Thank you, son, for the reward."

This is the happiest time Zhang Yuan has seen Xiao Qing smile this day.

"Can I go to the kitchen in the mansion?"

"Where is the young master's kitchen? The servant girl has never heard of such a place in the mansion."

Zhang Yuan's forehead was covered with black lines.

"It's a place to cook."

"Okay, the servant girl can take you there now."

Following Xiaoqing's detours, Zhang Yuan arrived at the cooking place in Zhuo's mansion.

Seeing the kitchen of the Han Dynasty for the first time, Zhang Yuan’s heart sank for the most part. There were no rich ingredients or seasonings, and he couldn’t even see a pot. There was only a stove and some pottery. The only thing related to the pot was a cauldron. Looking at the shiny black pottery, Zhang Yuan guessed that his bowl of minced meat was made of this thing.

In comparison, Zhang Yuan still prefers to eat the food from the workshop. A bowl of millet porridge with salted vegetables tastes better than these greasy things.

"Hey, let's go, there's nothing to see, Xiaoqing, when you bring me food in the future, remember to send millet porridge."

Xiaoqing also doesn't know why this son of his family doesn't like minced meat, but likes millet porridge.

After this night, Liu Kai finally knew what he needed.

Satisfying your stomach first is more important than everything else.
