"Master, master! Those ores seem to have been burned red!"

Ulla was so excited that she got into the tent and shouted.

After hearing this, Lu Zhou quickly ran out to take a look.

Come to the stove.

Even though it was late at night, there was still a large group of people surrounding the shaft furnace.

Seeing Lu Zhou approaching, everyone quickly moved out of the way.

In full view of everyone, Lu Zhou crawled under the stove to look, dug inside with a wooden stick, and pulled out a piece of red material that had settled underneath.

"Iron, iron..."

Among the crowd, an old and vicissitudes of life man could not help but murmur...

Wen Sheng glanced over.

It is not easy for a person of this age to survive until now.

Lu Zhou's eyes lit up: "Do you recognize this thing?"

The old man drank three bowls of broth today and regained a lot of energy. But when Lu Zhou shouted, he immediately shrank back.

"Old man, do you really not know me?" Lu Zhou asked politely again.

The old man was startled: "I don't dare to do it, I don't dare to do it. I am just a servant, a humble slave. How can I understand these things..."

Can you talk now?

Finally, someone emerged from the explosion, and Lu Zhou naturally refused to let him go. With a thought in his mind, he changed his name and started to persuade:

"Smelly old man, if you can blacksmith, I can give you a pound of meat every day!"

"Really, really?" The old man's eyes lit up immediately.

Lu Zhou nodded: "It's absolutely true, everyone here can testify!"

The old man licked his mouth, but after hesitating for a moment, there was a little more hope in his weathered eyes: "When I was in my motherland, I opened a blacksmith shop..."

"Okay! From now on, you will be in charge of this blacksmith shop!"

Lu Zhou made a decision immediately: "You choose two more helpers. The blacksmith shop will distribute five kilograms of meat every day as you wish!"

There is no hesitation in treating technical talents without hesitation!

"ah?!"

A moment ago he was a lowly old slave.

At this moment, the old salted fish turned over.

The old man felt as if he had gained a new life, and he was so excited that he spoke more and more eloquently: "Yes! Yes! My surname is Zhang, old man. From now on, master, you can just call me Lao Zhangtou!"

The old man gratefully agreed.

He picked out two more human-like people from the crowd and thanked Lu Zhou profusely.

Seeing this scene, in the dark night, all the servants in Lujiazhuang looked at Lu Zhou with a different look in their eyes.

Seems like life.

Suddenly there was a little bit of hope, but it was quickly extinguished. After all, the environment was still harsh, and they were not the ones who could eat meat every day...

Here Lao Zhangtou accepted his fate, and just when he wanted to show off, he was stopped.

I saw Lu Zhou throwing aside the newly burned cotton-like iron.

The time now is definitely past midnight.

Then:

[Ding, the sign-in is successful, congratulations to the host for getting a piece of 20 steel! 】

The iron smelted from this coal has too many impurities and cannot be used at all.

Lu Zhou just wanted to complete the system's requirements and create a furnace that could be produced and meet the sign-in standards.

Now the furnace rewards 20 steel.

20 steel is good...

Professional knowledge quickly flashed through Lu Zhou's mind.

No. 20 steel, high-quality carbon structural steel, has high plasticity and is easy to polish, suitable for beginners.

Modern steel is considered flexible, but it was enough for the ancient world.

Lu Zhou took out the rewarded iron block, and Wula brought the only hammer in Zhuangzi's collection. Lao Zhang hammered his head twice and was stunned.

Lu Zhou asked: "What's wrong?"

Lao Zhangtou's eyes widened, and he said with some disbelief: "This iron doesn't seem to need to be forged..."

Lu Zhou nodded. It seemed that Old Zhangtou really knew something.

Generally, the better the quality of iron ore, the easier it is to forge.

But now it has become iron.

You can completely skip the step of beating repeatedly, saving a lot of tedious work.

So I made up a more vigorous reason: "That's right, this is made from meteorite iron. There is meteorite iron everywhere here. You can just cast it into a shape and sharpen it!"

"Well, if you put it this way, it will save a lot of time. It won't be a problem to get a short knife out tonight!" Old Zhangtou did not dare to doubt his master's words, his eyes lit up.

Then he asked the two selected people to assist him and started beating him "dang dang dang". Looking at this, I really wanted to show off a knife overnight.

After all, I had just received my "new life", and working for one night was nothing. If the weather was hot, I would have to work hungry for three days and nights.

"Call me when you're done!"

Lu Zhou stopped caring about them, left a few words, and prepared to go back to the tent.

Mainly because it is too cold.

The other people also dispersed one after another. There was still work to do the next day, so today everyone drank broth and went back to the shed to sleep.

Lu Da and Wula, seeing their master showing off his power tonight, also went back to their nests to sleep thoughtfully.

...

The next day, when Lu Zhou woke up, he saw Lu Da and Wula standing next to the tent, looking at him with smiles.

Lu Zhou frowned: "If you have anything to say, just say it. Isn't it a waste of time again?"

"No, the master can make iron, so it's not a waste of meat. One piece of iron can be exchanged for two cows! It's just..."

"Just what?"

"hey-hey!"

The two of them licked their faces and came closer: "It's just that, Master, we can also do this blacksmithing job!"

"Blacksmithing?"

Lu Zhou glanced at the two of them, and Wula and Lu Da nodded quickly.

Of course, the main reason why the two wanted to blacksmith was not to get a pound or two of meat... but to see the future of the blacksmith shop.

The cattle raisers and housekeepers are obviously not as good as the blacksmiths. They are afraid that they will no longer be the most favored loser in front of their master...

"Look at your potential!"

Lu Zhou saw the two people's pettiness and patted them on the shoulders: "You are both my right and left arms, just a blacksmith, don't worry about it.

I keep your brains, they will be of great use!"

The two looked at each other...

"What do you mean, Master?"

"What use can our own brains have..."

...

At this time, Lao Zhangtou happened to come over from the blacksmith shop.

With dark circles under his eyes, he handed over a knife.

The entire blade is curved.

Lu Zhou looked at this horrible knife.

Good guy!

It's really embarrassing for you to have a fine piece of iron beaten like this...

Lao Zhangtou blushed a little and lowered his head, not daring to look at Lu Zhou. This was mainly because he was in a hurry and the two helpers were very unskilled.

"On a cold night, my hands and feet are inconvenient. You must gradually become more proficient in it from now on!"

Lu Zhou spurred and looked down at the knife. Well, at least it was sharpened.
To be continued...
