Daqin: At the beginning, the father-in-law was invited to rebel, but the father-in-law turned out to

"Humph!"

Brother Zheng snorted softly and said, "I just do it for cigarettes and food."

When Song Yuan heard the words, his mind moved.

Since the father-in-law likes to eat, drink and have fun so much, he must prescribe the right medicine.

He thought for a while, and thought of something that his father-in-law would definitely like.

He immediately said: "Hey, I'm sorry, my father-in-law came from a long way and asked you to blow the air outside, come inside quickly, I'll make you two cups of hot tea to warm up!"

tea?

Both Brother Zheng and Meng Tian were taken aback.

Brother Zheng wondered: "What's so good about tea? I don't drink tea, I want to drink and smoke Huazi!"

Song Yuan was speechless.

Why hasn't my father-in-law been seen for five days, and he looks like a drunkard and a smoker?

However, he still understood that the two of them did not want to drink tea.

Tea did exist in the Qin Dynasty, but it was made from medicinal materials.

It tastes bitter but does not return to sweetness. It is normal for the father-in-law to refuse.

Song Yuan had no choice but to say patiently: "Father-in-law, my tea is not ordinary. In terms of refreshing, even smoke can't compare to my tea! Are you sure you want to try it?"

Brother Zheng frowned.

When Song Yuan said this, he became interested.

"Then let's try it out."

Chapter 28

Song Yuan led Brother Zheng into the house, greeted Ying Shiman, and left the house alone to prepare tea in the kitchen outside the yard.

Seeing Brother Zheng, Ying Shiman hugged the child and greeted him, and said softly with a bit of complaint: "Father~"

Brother Zheng teased the drowsy baby before he said, "What's wrong? Song Yuan made you angry?"

Ying Shiman shook his head, told Brother Zheng what had just happened in a low voice, and finally Ying Shiman asked in puzzlement: "Father, if you don't have a showdown with your husband, do you really have to wait until two years later when the soldiers and horses meet again?" Is it? What the hell is this for?"

Brother Zheng choked, and he comforted and explained: "Shiman, don't worry, you may not know that the invention Song Yuan brought out now has brought a lot of benefits to the whole Great Qin!"

"And now, Song Yuan is sparing no effort to develop. Refined salt and steel are particularly important strategic materials, as well as the sweet potatoes in his mouth. If they come true, the people of the world will no longer be hungry!"

"I also think about the people of Daqin, I hope you can understand father."

Ying Shiman was speechless, this was the first time that her father had talked with her so earnestly, so she could only say: "Father, what if the husband asks for the address again next time?"

Brother Zheng thought for a moment, then said, "Then tell him the address of Meng Tian's neighbor."

Ying Shiman nodded.

Because Daqin's salary and treatment were not high, even Meng Tian, ​​as the commander in chief of the army, did not have his own exclusive fief and could only live in Xianyang City.

His neighbor is not a big shot, so even if Song Yuan went there, he wouldn't find anything unusual.

"What are you talking about? Whispering?"

At this time, Song Yuan walked into the room carrying a plate, and he only heard some small chatter outside just now.

Ying Shiman subconsciously tensed up.

As Zulong, Brother Zheng naturally didn't panic at all, and said unhurriedly: "Manman said you want to come to me? How about I give you my address and come directly next time?"

Song Yuan shook his head and said: "Forget it, Zhuangzi has too many secrets, it's better for me to go out as little as possible, as long as you come to my place more often."

Brother Zheng chuckled, agreeing.

Ying Shiman also reacted at this time, and asked, "Husband, what are you holding?"

Brother Zheng and Meng Tian also turned their attention to the plate in Song Yuan's hand.

On the plate, there were four cups and an earthen pot. The cup was empty, but the earthen pot was filled with red and clear water, with leaves sinking at the bottom.

Call ~

Sniff gently, you can smell a strange fragrance.

"This is tea, come and sit down, let you taste tea!"

Song Yuan greeted while speaking.

Song Yuan didn't know much about tea art, so he just poured the tea directly into the cup.

But Brother Zheng and the other three didn't care, they were completely attracted by the ruby-like liquid in the cup.

Song Yuan was not too polite. After filling the tea, he drank it directly.

"Ha! Good tea!"

Song Yuan said with a satisfied face.

Seeing this, Brother Zheng picked up the cup hesitantly and said, "Just drink like this?"

"if not?"

Song Yuan filled another glass and drank again.

Brother Zheng didn't drink the cow, but took a sip.

As soon as it enters the mouth, a slightly bitter taste spreads out.

Brother Zheng frowned, isn't this still bitter?

But in the next moment, all the hard work came to an end, Brother Zheng's eyes lit up, and he even felt refreshed.

Immediately, Brother Zheng began to taste carefully, but found that each time he had a different experience.

"This tea is good! The aftertaste is endless! Good tea!"

Brother Zheng began to praise.

Song Yuan smiled, looked at Meng Tian and his wife who were not drinking tea, and said, "Drink quickly, drinking tea is good for your health!"

The two did not move.

Brother Zheng had no choice but to say, "They're all our own people, don't be shy!"

Only then did Meng Tian dare to drink.

Ying Shiman still hesitated and said: "Husband, can the concubine drink it? Will it be bad for the child?"

Song Yuan shook his head and said, "You just gave birth, drinking tea can help you calm your mind, and you'll be fine if you drink a little."

Only then did Ying Shiman nod and raised his teacup.

I have to say that tea is indeed a good thing, not to mention its various benefits to the human body, it is a very good thing just because it can calm people down.

At this moment, the four people in the house who finished drinking tea all let go of their minds and enjoyed the short-lived happiness.

After a while, the tea was finished.

Brother Zheng was a little bit unsatisfied. After dealing with the memorial for most of the day, after drinking this tea, not only did he feel exhausted, but he was even more energetic!

This effect is even better than cigarettes.

But after a while, Brother Zheng came to his senses again, and he said, "Song Yuan, do you have much tea? If you have more, give me some too?"

Song Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't have much tea, but after the iron and steel plant is completed, I will start planting tea and tobacco in the back mountain. At that time, tea and tobacco can be supplied non-stop!"

Brother Zheng nodded slightly, and continued: "Speaking of the iron and steel plant, what is your iron smelting technology like? I'm still a little curious, is it really as powerful as you said?".

Chapter 29

"Just talk but don't practice fake moves. Since father-in-law is curious, I will show you to open your eyes!"

In fact, Song Yuan has been waiting for his father-in-law to take the initiative to bring up this matter, otherwise, wouldn't the five days of preparation be in vain?

Brother Zheng couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

As an ancestor dragon, he has never seen anything in the world, but when he comes to Song Yuan, he has to open his eyes every time. This kind of experience is really strange.

However, Brother Zheng is really curious about the iron smelting technology that Song Yuan said, what kind of iron ware can be compared with bronze ware?

Brother Zheng said, "Okay, let's go while there is still time!"

Song Yuan nodded, and left the owner's mansion with Brother Zheng and Meng Tian.

The three of them strolled in the courtyard and came to the outside of the workshop.

clang!

clang!

clang!

In the workshop at this time, several craftsmen taught by Song Yuan were still practicing the new forging method, and there were bursts of forging sound from time to time.

Brother Zheng asked, "Is someone making weapons?"

Song Yuandao: "Go in and have a look."

Brother Zheng nodded, and walked into the workshop with Meng Tian and Song Yuan.

As soon as he entered the workshop, there was a thick cloud of smoke and dust. Brother Zheng involuntarily covered his mouth and nose. He wondered, how could he still make a mess of smoke after being hit by iron?

But as he observed, he found something was wrong.

The first is the furnace in the workshop, which is completely different from ordinary furnaces.

Although the furnace here is also a shaft furnace, it is larger, and there is a high base underneath, and the flames inside the base are also very fierce, like a beast that will devour people when it meets people.

Why is the fire so big?

Brother Zheng thought about it subconsciously, and soon he discovered something unusual. There was a passage next to the base, and the passage was connected to a strange thing.

I saw that the craftsman pressed the object, and a gust of wind would blow from the channel into the base, and the fire would also surge.

"With such a big fire, can iron be smelted?"

Brother Zheng asked a little strangely.

Song Yuan nodded and said, "This is the new type of iron smelting."

He didn't explain much. After all, many principles were too advanced, and his father-in-law couldn't understand them.

Brother Zheng didn't ask any more questions. He continued to observe. Beside the furnace, someone was also forging the sword embryo with iron tongs. The method of forging was also different from the usual method. It seemed to be more perfect and more mysterious.

After looking at it, Brother Zheng gave up.

This thing is countless times more advanced than the water wheel, and he can't even study the water wheel. These things are even more difficult to understand. It can only be said that it feels much more powerful.

He then said, "Okay, I don't understand these things either, so please show me the finished product!"

Song Yuan nodded, stepped forward and asked, "Has any of you built a finished weapon?"

Someone hurriedly said: "Master Young Master, I made a small knife, is it okay?"

Song Yuandao: "Show me first!"

The man took out a small knife from the shelf, Song Yuan took the knife and looked at it, and replied: "[-]% standard, not bad, keep working hard!"

The man was very excited and nodded quickly.

Song Yuan also handed the knife to Brother Zheng and said, "Father-in-law, do you hold the eye?"

Brother Zheng frowned and took the knife. He just heard Song Yuan's "[-]% level". How good can a weapon of this level be?

He didn't pick up the knife, but looked at Meng Tian.

Meng Tian also felt that this weapon was not very good, its appearance was very poor, compared to his bronze sword, it was countless times inferior.

But as soon as he started, Meng Tian found something was wrong.

He broke it hard, but he couldn't move the knife at all!The blade is also very sharp, and it has slightly scratched the calluses on the palm of my hand!
