Chapter 13, First Attempt

Meng Jingye was also taken aback, she didn't seem to say what she wanted to buy, and said, "You don't even know what I want to buy, so why do you have something good to sell to me?"

Mu Bai rolled his eyes, looked at Meng Jingye with a silly expression on his face, and said, "I only sell ores, iron ingots, and coal here, all of which are good. You are not here to buy and sell ores, iron ingots, etc. What are you doing here?" Meng Jingye said: "Of course I'm here to buy ore and iron ingots, buy some of them." Mu Bai said: "Then it's over. Let's go." Then he dragged Meng Jingye to continue Forward.

When he arrived in the middle of the field, he pointed to four piles of ores with a slightly metallic luster and said, "These are all iron ores, and there is coal over there," and pointed to several piles of dark things and said.

Meng Jingye didn't understand this very well, so she said, "I want to make iron, what kind of ore and coal should I use?"

"Yeah?" Mu Bai was taken aback, looked Meng Jingye up and down with amazed eyes, and said, "A master, you are an amateur?" Meng Jingye frowned, and said, "Why? Can't you understand?" Mu Bai put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky at 45 degrees, and said in a tone of exclamation: "Master, it seems that you still can't do it! People like us who will become martial arts masters in the future, how can we not understand these things?" Meng Jingye didn't understand, what did understanding these have to do with becoming a master.Silently did not speak.

Mu Bai sighed again, and said: "There are very few people who are as versatile as me!" Pointing to a pile of ore in front, he said: "This is hematite, which is generally used in iron making. Well, hematite is often in the form of plates; aggregates are usually in the form of flakes, scales, kidneys, oolitics, lumps or soil, etc. It is reddish brown, steel gray to iron black, and the streaks are cherry Red. Metallic to semi-metallic luster, iron black, metallic luster, flaky hematite is also called mirror iron ore by our Wu Dynasty people; steel gray, metallic luster, scale-like is called mica hematite, ancient name "Yunzi iron"; the reddish-brown soil-like and dull luster is called ochre, and it was called "dai ochre" in ancient times, and "ochre" generally refers to hematite." Turning to Meng Jingye, he said: "Although you don't understand, but I still decided to give away such a large pile of hematite." "Give it to me?" Meng Jingye said in surprise, he didn't expect this person to be so generous!Mu Bai waved his hand, and said with a mysterious face, "I gave it to you! How can I give it to you? It's strange that my second uncle didn't kill me! But I can still give you a good thing!" Mu Bai knelt down body, picked up a stone, stuffed it into Meng Jingye's hand, and said: "This is my Mu family 500 years ago, hey, don't throw it away!" Meng Jingye was too lazy to listen to him, and threw the stone behind her back. I lost it, rolled on the ground a few times and didn't know where it went.Interrupting Mu Bai's words: "Okay, bring me some hematite and coal for burning hematite." Meng Jingye gave Mu Bai the rest of the money in his pocket.

Mu Bai shook the silver and said, "Okay." He was going to load ore for Meng Jingye, but after walking a few times, he turned around and came back. Meng Jingye didn't know what he wanted to do, but Mu Bai approached mysteriously Meng Jingye said: "Do you think I was humorous just now?" "Yes, very humorous!" Meng Jingye was too lazy to listen to his nonsense, so she dismissed him casually.Mu Bai left with a satisfied face.

Meng Jingye was walking on the road, followed by a helper from Mubai's family, pulling a cart. On the cart was a bag of hematite and several bags used to burn iron ore that Meng Jingye bought with her last silver. lignite.When they got home, Meng Jingye asked Bangxian to take the things into the house and sent him away.

Meng Jingye went back to the inner courtyard and took off her clothes in the bedroom, only wearing a pair of underpants, because this was the only set of clothes he had.I didn't have the money to buy it, for fear of breaking it.After putting away his clothes, he went outside to light a fire and burn coals to make iron.

As soon as the coal started burning, a warning sound was heard.

【Ironmaking in progress】

[200 catties of hematite is being refined]

【Lignite continues to be consumed】

Everything seemed so natural, as if an invisible force pulled Meng Jingye's body to make the most correct movements.

The progress bar in the field of vision gradually filled up, and finally walked from the left to the right, and Meng Jingye's body also stopped. "Ding, iron smelting is complete!"

[Obtain 114 catties of ordinary pig iron] (the ratio is hematite 175:100 pig iron, the information comes from Baidu, the author checked)
[Acquired a little steelmaking information]

Meng Jingye started forging iron again.Another prompt was heard.

【Wrought iron in progress】

[Ordinary pig iron being forged]

【Lignite continues to be consumed】

Meng Jingye's body also followed the rhythm of the beep.After a while, the forging was finished.

[Obtain 75 catties of Baiduan pig iron]

After working for a long time, Meng Jingye was also tired. She went into the house and used a wooden barrel to draw a bucket of cold water from the well, and drank a couple of gulps.After wiping his mouth, he rested by the well.

After resting, Meng Jingye stood up and exhaled with a "huh~" sound.Walked into the room and continued with his unfinished business.

Meng Jingye picked up a discus with a clip, and he was going to forge a sword!

[Weapon forging in progress]

[Long sword forging in progress]

【Baiduan Pig Iron continues to be consumed】

【Lignite continues to be consumed】

I saw Meng Jingye hammering, dividing, and beating again, and an iron bar appeared.Then, after a while of beating, a long sword gradually took shape in Meng Jingye's hands! "嗤~~~·" With the sound of the long sword being extracted in the water for the last time, a long sword was finally made!Heating the iron is indeed to reduce the hardness to facilitate forging, and cooling the red-hot iron in water is to increase the hardness.

Meng Jingye put it away, went into the house and put it next to the futon, went to the kitchen to cook some rice, cut some bacon, and dealt with it.I took the bucket and went to the well to fetch a few buckets of water, rinsed my body, went back to the bedroom, sat cross-legged on the futon, and started a long self-study.
