Chapter 25: Spotting the Scam
There are a lot of iron ore and dark iron ore in the Ye Family Stone Workshop, and Ye Lingyue Shun two pieces, which will not attract any attention.
Fang Cai Ye Lingyue watched carefully from the side, cutting and refining iron ore was really too laborious, a martial artist with a five-fold refining body, according to Fang Cai's speed, he could only refine up to three crude refining iron stones a day.
And the purity of the dark iron in it is only three or four percent, which is simply thankless.
Ye Lingyue thought that Qianding could purify medicinal herbs and devour impurities, maybe it could be used to refine dark iron ore.
Ye Lingyue found a remote place and began refining the dark iron ore.
The piece of black iron ore in his hand with a palm-sized "poof" sound, was sucked into the Qianding.
After about half an hour, Ye Lingyue's palm had a silver iron block the size of a pebble.
She hurriedly tested it with Dingxi.
"Fifty percent!" Ye Lingyue's hand couldn't help but tremble, this is too godly, this thing in her hand is actually a refined Xuaniron stone with a purity of fifty percent.
Fang Cai Ye Sheng also said that the Ye Family Stone Workshop can only refine the Xuaniron Stone to three or four percent or fifty percent of the refined Xuaniron Stone at most, but only some wealthy chambers of commerce in the county can refine it.
If this is seen by the group of five old and rough warriors in the processing plant, I don't know what envy and jealousy will become.
Ye Lingyue tried it again, and refined the iron ore, and the purity of the refined iron ore was as high as sixty percent.
Moreover, Ye Lingyue also found that after refining two ores, the Dingqi in her Qianding was much thicker than when she refined the Juyuan liquid earlier.
It seems that refining ore is conducive to the condensation of Dingxi, but correspondingly, the consumption of Yuan Power is not small.
With Ye Lingyue's five-fold cultivation of refining body, he could only refine refined dark iron ore about five times a day.
Ye Lingyue put away the refined dark iron and walked around the Ye Family Stone Workshop again.
At this time, she saw that there were people gathered in front of her, her eldest cousin Ye Sheng and several stewards of the stone workshop, discussing something.
"Young Master Ye Sheng, the purity of this batch of dark iron ore is as high as forty percent, but it is a good product that is rare to see in ten years, if it weren't for my lack of money on hand, I wouldn't have sold it to the Ye Family Stone Workshop. "A man who looks like a businessman from outside the city is bargaining with Ye Sheng.
Ye Sheng was just patrolling the stone workshop and happened to meet this merchant surnamed Chen.
He claimed to be a quarryman in a neighboring town, and a while ago he collected a batch of high-quality dark iron ore in the mountains, and originally planned to sell it to the county seat, but he knew that the old mother at home suddenly fell ill and was in a hurry to use the money, so he temporarily sent it to Yejia Shifang to get rid of.
Forty percent of the purity of the raw ore of Xuantie, that is not an ordinary goods, the entire Yejia Mine, may not be able to dig more than 100 catties a year.
This quarryman surnamed Chen has more than 1,000 catties on hand, and if he refines it again, he will sell it to the county seat at that time, but it will be a profitable business.
When Ye Sheng saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little moved, he found a few quarrymen in the stone workshop, and looked at it carefully, everyone felt that there was nothing wrong with this batch of ores regardless of color or weight, and it should be genuine.
It's just that the merchant asked for a bit of a high price, 1,000 catties of raw ore, but the asking price was 20,000 taels of gold.
This amount is enough to compare to the profit of the Ye Family Stone Workshop for a year, if something goes wrong, Ye Sheng can't afford it.
Ye Sheng's original intention was to invite Ye Huangyun to come over and be the master, but this businessman surnamed Chen said that he was in a hurry to use the money, and if he wanted to wait, he would go to the Song Shifang opposite and sell it, and he couldn't wait for a quarter of an hour.
Speaking of the Song family, the townspeople in Qiufeng Town, everyone knows the Song family and the Ye family, which are notoriously rivals.
When it comes to family history, the Ye family is much older than the Song family in Qiufeng Town, the Song family is a family that has only risen in the past hundred years, but the head of the Song family is also a strong man at the peak of the day after tomorrow, and in terms of strength, it is almost the same as Ye Guxian.
Whether it is the mine or the supply of dark iron ore, the two have been fighting to the death.
If this batch of high-quality Xuaniron ore is sold to the Song family, then Ye Sheng will really become a sinner of the Ye family through the ages.
"We want this batch of dark iron ore, but we can't get 20,000 taels of gold in the stone workshop at once, I can only make up 5,000 taels of gold as a deposit, and the rest of the money will definitely be made up within three days. Ye Sheng gritted his teeth, ordered someone to take out five thousand taels of gold, and prepared to pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.
As long as the Ye family can take this batch of high-quality dark iron ore, as soon as it changes hands, they will be able to earn 50,000 taels of gold.
After hearing this, the businessman surnamed Chen unconsciously showed a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, but this smile was captured by Ye Lingyue.
"Wait a minute, big cousin, can I take a look at the ores. The crisp female voice, at this moment, interjected horizontally, very abruptly.
Everyone in the stone workshop suddenly felt that their eyes lit up, and a pretty girl in blue walked out.
"Ling Yue, what are you messing around, you only came to Shifang on the first day, what do you know. Ye Sheng was anxious to buy this batch of dark iron ore, and seeing that Ye Lingyue was troubled, his tone was very unhappy.
He stepped forward and grabbed Ling Yue with one hand, about to make her retreat.
Unexpectedly, Ye Lingyue stretched out two fingers and lightly touched his wrist, Ye Sheng only felt a numbness on his wrist, Ye Lingyue flashed, and it had slipped under his nose.
was easily cracked by his cousin, and Ye Sheng's face was even more unbearable.
She picked up a piece of "high-quality" dark iron stone and played with it a few times in her hand, seemingly inadvertently.
The Dingqi in Ye Lingyue's hand had already been drilled into the "high-quality" Xuaniron Stone.
This look is not trivial, the so-called dark iron stone, not to mention the dark iron, is even the composition of iron ore is very small, these stones, only the most surface, attached to a layer of so-called dark iron layer.
With such clever counterfeiting methods, it is no wonder that even Ye Sheng and those quarrymen have to look away.
With a cold snort, Ye Lingyue secretly exerted her strength, and suddenly heard a click, her index finger and middle finger tightened, and the piece of dark iron stone was actually in her hand, and it was broken into four petals.
"Oh, this is really a dark iron stone? How can it be like tofu, it will crumble when you pinch it lightly. Ye Lingyue's words made Ye Sheng, who wanted to reprimand her, turn pale.
The high-grade Xuaniron Stone was extremely hard, how could it be easily pinched into a few pieces by Ye Lingyue.
Ye Sheng and several quarrymen hurriedly stepped forward, and when they saw it, they were shocked, these dark iron ores turned out to be fake.
"Bastard, it's a fake, come on, take down this liar. Ye Sheng knew that he had been fooled, and he was afraid for a while, so he ordered someone to take down the businessman surnamed Chen.
Seeing that the scam had been discovered, the businessman's face turned blue, black blood flowed from his mouth, and he fell to the ground and died with a kick of his feet.
