4. Borrowing chickens to lay eggs

Although this grilled fish is just the simplest way to roast it, without adding spices or anything else, Chu Dabao and Wu Meier couldn't stop eating it, and most of it was given to them.

Chu He, a guy who worked hard and made great contributions, ate the least.

After Chu He returned home, his parents did not come back, so he simply tried to practice the secret of refining the golden bell cover.

In the minds of many people, the golden bell shield is a skill that can be practiced by foreigners.

In fact, the Golden Bell Cover is 100% internal martial arts. In addition to slapping the body, the Golden Bell Cover has a special internal Qi training method.

Now Chu He cannot nourish his body, so he needs a lot of medicinal materials to make soup and medicine. He can only practice the Qi training method first to see if it can improve the attributes of the body.

Chu He has a deep understanding of being poor in literature and wealth in martial arts.

When he was practicing the Golden Bell Cover, he suffered a lot.

Although he forcibly upgraded the Golden Bell Cover to the second level, there was no corresponding medicine to strengthen the body and repair the damage. Chu He consumed his vitality. Under normal circumstances, he could not live to be fifty years old.

When Chu He discovered this, he had reached the first level of the Golden Bell Cover and could not stop.

Given Chu He's current situation at home, he naturally couldn't afford iron, so all he had to do was to borrow a chicken to lay eggs.

Needless to say, whoever you borrowed the chicken, there is only one blacksmith in the entire Qinghe Village, that is, Chu Laosan at the east end of the village.

Now that iron materials are soaring, no one is willing to buy iron tools. Chu Laosan naturally has no business. Without business, there is no source of income. He should agree with his proposal.

The method of stewing steel is to shape the workpiece, put it in a crucible and other container, then cover it with charcoal, fermented black beans, and ground soil, and heat it outside the container.

Charcoal and fermented black beans are used for carburization, and soil powder is a dispersant.

The advantage of this carburizing technology is that the carburizing obtained by the workpiece is very uniform and stable, and the carbon potential is very high, and the efficiency and effect are quite good.

In a few days, Chu He was collecting charcoal, and then a slutty man asked for five cents from his mother and bought some fermented black beans at the small grocery store in the village.

Chu Zhiquan was not at home these days. When his mother said that he went to the county to do odd jobs, Chu He knew that his father must be studying for himself, hoping to make some money while he was slack in the farm.

Although the Chu family has not separated on the surface, they have lived separately. The four sons have their own plans, and Chu Zhenhai can't say that they can just come back to work in the fields during the busy farming season.

Zhao Muqiu was also busy washing clothes for people. Seeing that Chu He was much more honest than before, he probably learned a lesson. He was relieved and didn't care much about him.

Chu He has been busy collecting materials these days.

He went to the blacksmith shop twice, and got a lot of useful information.

There is not a steel in this world, but the quantity is very small and the price is expensive. The blacksmith uses the method of making steel with an outrageous efficiency.

Ordinary blacksmiths don’t know how to make steel, and the quality of steel in this world is not very good.

Chu Dabao caught another big carp and ran over to Chuhe excitedly. It was obviously addicted to eating grilled fish.

Chu He pulled Chu Dabao aside and whispered: "Brother, do you want to eat grilled fish every day, don't you think you can wear new clothes, do you want to go to the academy to practice martial arts soon?"

Chu Dabao looked at Chu He like a fool: "Who doesn't want to, but you have to have money."

Chu He smiled mysteriously: "Since you want to, we can't eat this grilled fish."

"Why can't you eat it?" Chu Dabao asked in confusion.

"I'm going to give it to someone."

Chu Dabao frowned, and he found that Chu He seemed to be a little different from before.

Chu He did not have such momentum and confidence in the past, but now he has become Chu He's like a fellow.

"Forget it, if you don't eat it, don't eat it. Anyway, you can catch it in the future. Who do you want to give the fish?"

Chu He did not answer Chu Dabao: "You will know later."

After the grilled fish, Chu He wrapped it in banana leaves, and took Chu Dabao to run to Chu Laosan's blacksmith shop quickly.

At this time, the blacksmith Chu was fanning the cool breeze at the door. When he saw Chu He and Chu Dabao coming over, he said angrily: "What do you two little guys want to do?"

The naughty Chu Dabao and Chu He are not very famous in Qinghe Village.

If he hadn't seen Chu He come over two days ago, bring some snacks for his son, and then say a few words to him politely, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to these two guys.

Chu He laughed and said, "Uncle Chu San, that's it. We just roasted a fish. I don't know if it tastes good, so I brought it over and asked Uncle Chu San to try it."

“Grilled fish?”

Blacksmith Chu looked alert, "Why are you so kind to give me the grilled fish? There is nothing strange about it, right?"

Chu Dabao looked resentful: "Second brother, I just said we should eat this grilled fish ourselves."

Chu He glared at him, then smiled at Chu Blacksmith and said, "No, there is absolutely nothing strange!"

He opened the banana leaves as he spoke, and then when the wind blew, the fragrant fish fragrance came into Chu's nostrils, and of course, he also followed the wind and entered the blacksmith shop.

As Chu He expected, a buzzing sound came out: "It smells so good, what's it?"

The person who spoke was Chu Xiaohu, the son of Chu Blacksmith, who was only five or six years old.

Chu Blacksmith had two sons. The eldest son was not interested in blacksmithing. He formed a hunting team with several strong men in the village and went to Huyaling to hunt, and then it disappeared. He loved this youngest son so much.

Chu He smiled and handed the grilled fish to Chu Xiaohu who was running out, tearing off the charred fish scales on it, revealing the snow-white and fragrant fish meat on it: "Xiaohu, this is grilled fish, do you think it tastes delicious?"

Chu Xiaohu was in charge of so much, and he didn't care about dirty hands. He grabbed a piece of fish and ate it. While eating, he shouted that it was delicious. Seeing that Chu Dabao kept swallowing his saliva, his face became more and more indignant.

Blacksmith Chu sighed: "Chu He, what do you want to do? Tell me."

Chu He looked up, and he took out a piece of chipped paper from his arms and handed it to Chu Blacksmith: "I want Uncle Chu San to help me shoot a sword. I wonder if it can be shot out?"

This piece of coarse paper was bought by Chu He in a grocery store, and it was painted with charcoal brush on it.

In addition, there are also length marks, of course, according to the measurement units here, weighing three kilograms, three feet, three lengths, and one inch and three widths.

Chu Blacksmith said, "There is no problem for building weapons among the people, and bows and arrows are fine, but armor and crossbows are strictly prohibited."

"If you can fight, you can fight, but this sword is not useful."

The blacksmith Chu took Chu He's things and explained: "This sword is too thin and narrow, and it is too light in weight. After opening the edge, it is easy to lose. It won't take long, and it may even break during use."

Chu He also knew that the weight was too light. The people here were obviously stronger than those on Earth, but it was difficult to convince Chu Blacksmith to pursue weight. A little more iron would make you more money.

He had to say, "It's okay, Uncle Chu San will just type it according to the size above."

But I knew that the blacksmith Chu snorted: "Don't fight, so as not to destroy my reputation if this thing is made! "

Chu He had no choice but to say, "If the length of the iron sword is increased by one foot and the width and thickness are increased to ten kilograms according to Uncle San's idea?"

Blacksmith Chu thought for a moment: "It should be barely possible."

Chu He smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble Uncle Chu San. By the way, try to hit this sword as beautiful as possible."

Chu Blacksmith nodded: "Uncle San doesn't cheat you. Now the iron material is about 300 yuan per kilogram. It is estimated that 12 kilograms of iron material are needed to build this sword. This is 3,600 yuan. Even if you have a wage of 300 yuan, it's better."

Money is copper coins, with a face value of one penny, a thousand coins are one tael of silver, and 3,900 coins are three taels and nine cents of silver.
