On the second day, just after early morning, Ye Lingyue completed her daily cultivation, followed Ye Huangyun's arrangement, and arrived at the Ye Family Stone Workshop.

The Ye family started with iron ore, and the stone workshop was to cut the ore dug up from Qixing Mountain, then sort and screen, and after preliminary refining, send it to the county seat for sale.

Small-scale ore trading can also be carried out in the stone workshop, which supplies the iron shops in Qiufeng Town and the daily use of the townspeople, so it is said that the Yejia Stone Workshop is actually a small market.

The Ye family has seventy or eighty percent of its annual income, which depends on the stone workshop, so the importance of the stone workshop is second only to the Ye family mine.

"Ling Yue, this is your first time in Shifang, I'll take you around. "The one responsible for picking up Ye Lingyue is Ye Sheng, the eldest cousin who had a relationship with her in the clan test.

Ye Sheng is sixteen years old this year, and his appearance is quite handsome, just because he is the grandson of the Ye family, he can't help but be a little arrogant

Speaking of Ye Lingyue, Ye Sheng didn't have much impression of her, only that she was born a stupid girl.

This time, Ye Lingyue was a blockbuster in the clan test, and her father Ye Huangyun was also full of praise for Ye Lingyue, saying that she was a little genius.

Ye Sheng looked at it today and felt that Ye Lingyue was nothing more than that, just by luck defeating Ye Ning, he was called a little genius, and his father was too exaggerated.

In Ye Sheng's opinion, the third aunt was a genius when she was young, it doesn't mean that her daughter is also a genius, and the Ye family can make Ye Sheng recognize the genius, there is only one Ye Liuyun.

Ye Sheng didn't think so, and greeted Ye Lingyue with a little contempt, Ye Lingyue saw it in his eyes, and he didn't say anything, he just followed Ye Sheng along the way, and casually asked about Shifang.

"Ling Yue, you are the Ye family, do you know what the Ye family's main business is?" Ye Sheng asked Ye Lingyue as he walked.

"Mines and iron ore. I heard that the ancestor of the Ye family started his home because he discovered a big mine in the mountains. Ye Lingyue knows a little about the history of the Ye family.

"Wrong, how can ordinary iron ore support the entire Ye family. What the Ye family is really good at is refining iron, as well as crude refining dark iron. Ye Sheng pursed his lips, looking down on Ye Lingyue's ignorance.

Such a simple thing even the three-year-old children of the Ye family knew, but Ye Lingyue didn't even know.

"Please also ask my eldest cousin for advice. Ye Lingyue didn't care, but humbly asked for advice.

"Iron and dark iron are different, for example, the two piles in front of you, the gray and white are iron and stone, and the silver is black iron stone. The difference in color between the two looks like a slight one, but the price difference is twenty times greater. Ordinary workers can cut and refine iron, but dark iron can only be cut by martial artists who refine the body above the third level, and can be refined by martial artists who refine the body more than five times. Saying that, Ye Sheng picked up a piece of iron ore and dark iron stone, and explained it to Ye Lingyue.

From Ye Sheng's mouth, Ye Lingyue also knew a lot of common sense about iron and dark iron.

In Great Xia, iron could only be used to forge civilian tools, but Xuan Tie could be used to forge weapons and equip armies.

The production of Xuaniron stone is small, and it is extremely difficult to refine, and even the Ye family can only refine it preliminarily.

Among the iron ore produced by the Ye family mine every year, the proportion of black iron and iron ore is a hundred times different, but it is also because the Ye family has a small part of the black iron that it can stand in Qiufeng Town for many years.

The two of them walked around the stone workshop, whether it was the workers in the stone workshop or the merchants and townspeople who came to trade, when they saw Ye Sheng, they couldn't help but respectfully call "Young Master Ye Sheng", and it could be seen that Ye Sheng's status in the stone workshop was still very high.

When those people saw a beautiful woman beside Ye Sheng, they couldn't help but take a few more looks, and Ye Sheng didn't introduce them, obviously deliberately snubbing Ye Lingyue.

"I still have some things at hand, the part in front of me is iron ore and dark iron ore, you learn to distinguish first, there is a processing plant in front of you, if you are interested, you can also go in and have a look." After Ye Sheng explained, he let Ye Lingyue think about it privately and left temporarily.

Ye Lingyue stood beside the Xuaniron Stone and Iron Ore for a moment.

Ye Sheng asked Ye Lingyue to distinguish between iron ore and iron ore, that is because when these two ores were first mined, they were very similar, except for experienced masters, it was difficult for ordinary people to distinguish them.

The first thing that the Ye family members who go to Shifang to study is to distinguish between iron ore and iron ore.

For others, the two ores that are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye are clear at a glance in Ye Lingyue's eyes, just because she has a magical Qianding Ding.

With a movement of his fingertips, the Ding Qi in Qianding burrowed into a piece of dark iron stone.

As Ye Sheng said, the off-white is iron, and the silver is the black iron, and most of the black iron ore mined by the Ye family is actually a mixed stone of iron and black iron.

Ye Lingyue observed and found that there were a large number of impurities in the pile of dark iron ore in front of him, and the dark iron components in each piece were somewhat pitiful.

In a piece, there are only about one or two percent of the dark iron.

Obviously, such a dark iron ore cannot be sold directly to the county seat, so it still needs the martial artists of the Ye family to preliminarily refine it before it can be sold.

The level of Xuanyin Ore is obviously much lower than that of Xuanyin Jade, and Ding Xi in Qianding saw the impurities in these Xuanyin Ore, and just turned around lazily and shrank back.

There was a clanging bang in front of it.

Ye Lingyue walked forward, only to see that in the processing workshop, it was in full swing, about twenty or thirty martial artists, cutting and forging the iron ore respectively.

With a loud drink, beside Ye Lingyue, a martial artist with a triple body refining condensed the Yuan Force on the iron axe, and with one axe, the dark iron ore was cut into several parts.

Immediately, the cut iron ore was handed over to a martial artist who refined the body fivefold.

I saw that the other party was holding a hammer in his hand, and smashed it down with a sonorous sound.

With a clang, the hammer smashed into the black iron ore.

I saw that on the hammer body, carrying the harsh Yuan Force, a hammer fell on the iron ore, and the force was so fierce and the concentration of power that it attracted a burst of applause.

As the hammer fell, Ye Lingyue could see a large number of stone chips falling, and some of the ore impurities were also beaten out.

Different from ordinary iron shops for iron smelting, the workers in Yejia Shifang who deal with the black iron ore are not simple, and if you look closely, you will find that they use Yuan Li when cutting and forging.

After cutting and forging, a piece of black iron takes about an hour, and the size of the ore has shrunk by half, but the composition of the dark iron in it can be increased to three or four percent, so that the black iron ore can be transported to the county for sale.

In the applause of everyone, Ye Lingyue withdrew from the processing plant.

"It's also laborious, I don't know, can Qianding be used to purify the dark iron ore. When Ye Lingyue walked out of the processing plant, she was still holding two pieces of black iron ore and iron ore in her hands.
