Chapter IV Preparations
"Ahh
With a loud donkey bark, the sky dawned!
It's not that there are no roosters in the village, but the seven or eight big roosters together are not as loud as the old donkey. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
I didn't sleep all night, Zhao Bei was very tired, but his spirit was very energetic!
Although he is lazy by nature, Zhao Bei is occasionally full of fighting spirit!
Especially when he sees hope and seizes the opportunity, Zhao Bei's momentum can also burst out.
"Okay, Lao Zhang, it's almost planned, now let's go wash and cook, and when you're done eating, you will go into the mountains to find a suitable place, and I'll go to the city to buy materials for you!"
Pushing the door out of the house, a breath of cool fresh air made Zhao Bei's spirit better!
The morning sun is already shining, the birds are laughing, the world is so spicy and beautiful!
Looking back, even the old house full of insects looks so charming!
The mountain village in Zhao Bei's hometown is called Zhao Wangzhai, and there are two surnames in the village, surnamed Zhao and surnamed Wang, and there are many intermarriages with each other, so it can be said that they are all a family.
In the past, there were 100 families in Zhaowangzhai when it was the most prosperous, but most of the people moved away when the city was built in the 80s, and some of them moved away one after another over the years, and now there are seven or eight families left in the whole village.
There are a total of eight households, and after Zhao Bei's grandfather passed away, there were only seven households left, and the remaining seven households were basically left-behind old people, and the young and strong laborers all went out to school or work.
Although the village is almost gone, there is no bit of a dilapidated and depressed atmosphere here, just because the scenery here is so good.
Zhaowangzhai is surrounded by mountains and is located in a mountain col, only a small road in the south can go out, the road around the mountain is halfway up the mountain, and one side of the road is a ravine and a cliff.
The mountain col where Zhaowangzhai is located is still quite large, the dam on the east side of the village is several square kilometers large, and there is a small lake dozens of meters away from the west of the village.
The small HN is about 1,000 meters wide in the north and relatively long in the east and west, about 1,500 meters.
It sounds quite big, but the water area is actually about the same size as Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace, and it is just a relatively large puddle.
The small lake doesn't even have a name, the south side is all steep along the SD side, the place near the village is all gentle beaches, and the north side is also close to the mountain, but the slope is very gentle, and there is a little short beach at the bottom of the hillside.
The westernmost part of the lake is also very gentle, and there is a large swampy wetland on that side, and a small river flowing from the Qinling Mountains flows into the small lake.
The environment of Zhaowangzhai is closed, the scenery is excellent, and the mountains and lakes are simply a paradise of nature's gifts.
It's not easy to preserve such a nice place, it's all luck.
If it weren't for the zoning of the reserve, or for the leaders who were going to develop the attractions, or for the developers who were going to build the resorts, they would have gone bankrupt or something.
Anyway, after tossing and turning for decades, such a paradise as Zhao Wangzhai is almost empty, and there is still nothing left here.
In the past, Zhao Bei was still looking forward to being requisitioned and making some demolition fees, but he was disappointed three times and twice.
Now looking at the glass-pure small lake in the west and the rolling Qinling Mountains in the distance through the low wall, Zhao Bei suddenly felt great pride in his heart!
"His grandmother's legs! Such an excellent paradise, when Lao Tzu has money, he will buy it himself! ”
"Well, yes, I will buy it myself, and in the future, I will build and build it for myself and the slaves I have summoned!"
Although there is only one slave now, there will definitely be more and more systems in hand!
These guys from another world are not suitable for living in the outside city, so it's safe to find a closed place to get together!
Turning his head to look at his first slave, the corners of Zhao Bei's mouth couldn't help but twitch again.
Forty or fifty-year-old guys, Zhang San was playing at the pressurized water well like a child.
Grab the handle with your hand and lift it, and then press the water and it will come out, and then lift and press, and another stream of water will come out......
This Nima, even a pressurized water well that prevailed in the countryside a few decades ago is curious, can this concentration be a sword-casting master?
Regardless of whether he is a true master or a big fool, anyway, now the arrow is ready to be sent on the string!
After chatting with Zhang San all night last night, Zhao Bei was fooled by him, and he could only hope for him unknowingly!
After the two of them cooked some porridge, and after eating two more steamed buns with pickles, Zhao Bei was ready to officially work!
"Lao Zhang, I'll go to the city to buy things for you, and you can go around the mountains and find a suitable place to forge swords!"
"Don't lose your way, there are wild boars and leopards in the mountains, take a little guy, it's better not to go too deep!"
"Also, when someone in the village asks you something, you say that my friend came to travel, by the way, my name is Zhao Bei, remember!"
After telling Zhang San in pieces, Zhao Bei pushed out the pedal scooter from the firewood room and was ready to go!
As soon as the gas pedal smoked, Zhao Bei rode away on a small motorcycle, leaving Zhang San with a shocked face and then thinking that it was a monster mount or some kind of immortal magic weapon.
Although Zhaowangzhai is very closed, it is actually more than ten kilometers away from Yuncheng City.
Of course, it is impossible to walk in a straight line in the mountains, and it is thirty or forty kilometers around the winding mountain road.
In the past, the path out of the village could only barely take an ox cart, and I had to be careful to fall into the ravine.
A few years ago, Zhao Wangzhai also got a little bit of light and expanded the original mountain road.
The asphalt road was not repaired, but the excavator bulldozer and roller were used to expand the road surface and level it a little, and then no one cared about it.
Although it is still a mountain road, the road surface is much easier to walk now, and the road surface is more than six meters wide and can easily stagger two cars, and there are not many mud puddles even if it rains if you don't take heavy vehicles.
Zhao Bei rode a second-hand pedal all the way, and after coming out of the mountain pass, he turned onto the oil road, and then ran faster.
That big road is the road of Yunlong HN bank in the northern suburbs of Yuncheng, which leads to the provincial highway to the east, and then directly enters the Xishan Scenic Area on the periphery of the environmental protection zone to the west.
With no time to admire the sparkling Yunlong Lake, and no time to be jealous of the high-end residences and villas around Yunlong Lake, Zhao Bei rode a small motorcycle straight to the various markets and shops he had set.
When chatting with Zhang San last night, Zhao Bei asked him what he was going to do, and Zhang San said that he would find a water source first, and if he found a suitable place, he would build a small cabin to live in.
Then dig pits and mud to build a furnace and a kiln, the kiln is used to burn charcoal to make fuel, and when the stove is dry, it will dig stones, smelt hardware, and prepare to cast swords.
Nima, Zhao Bei almost didn't cry when he heard his plan!
It's so tough, it's like you're ready to do everything yourself and start from scratch!
According to Zhang San's plan, it will take at least a year for the first sword to come out!
The barbarians are too primitive, if Zhao Bei, the master, wants to lie down and collect money, he must make efforts in the early stage, otherwise Zhao Bei will starve to death before he can cast a sword and sell it for money!
Fortunately, with nearly 20,000 yuan now, this money can reduce the preparation time to a minimum!
It was too cumbersome and too useless to use the mud stove, and the first thing Zhao Bei bought when he entered the city was a ton of refractory bricks.
When a ton of low-grade refractory bricks was ordered, it immediately cost 2,000 yuan, but fortunately, it also included freight.
After ordering refractory bricks, Zhao Bei ordered another ton of casting coke, and more than 1,000 pieces were gone.
Metallurgical coke is cheap, but the sulfur content of cast coke is relatively small, and Zhao Bei can only choose a good one in order to let Zhang San cast a magic weapon.
Ordinary coal is not considered at all, that thing contains a lot of sulfur, and all that is refined is the kind of pig iron that will be broken when it is dropped, and it must not be used!
Coal doesn't work, but good charcoal has to be bought, and that stuff has to be used with coke.
Coke is easy to buy these days, but charcoal is hard to buy!
Zhao Bei originally planned to go to the barbecue city to buy some, but it turned out that the girl didn't sell it, so he had no choice but to order a ton from the Internet.
Then, Zhao Bei went around the hardware market a few times and ordered a bunch of hard guys!
There are several sledgehammers, several fire pliers, vises, screwdrivers, axes, saws, nails, wires, crowbars, ropes, and a whole host of things.
You can buy everything else, but you can't make do with a wooden house.
Once Zhang San's sword-forging site is determined to settle there for many years, it will definitely not be possible to live in a tent, so he can only build one by himself.
Anyway, if it is to be built, Zhao Bei plans to simply build a small building with all wood, and he can live there if he wants to live in the future.
After all the scattered things were purchased, Zhao Bei sadly found that he only had 5,000 yuan left!
This Nima, the main materials for forging swords, gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, etc., haven't been bought yet, and the money is almost running out.
I can't help it, I don't have enough money so I can only buy less.
Fortunately, you don't need to buy too much, you can order some of the various materials online, especially those rare metals need less, how can you prepare the materials for ten swords for five thousand yuan.
Whether it is tens of thousands of tons of rare metals or thousands of grams of rare metals, they are sold on the Internet, Zhao Bei can buy some particles on the Internet, and he can still buy several rare things within his ability.
