Fang Lei said: "I came here to order watermelon shells this time, just to deal with the Japanese invaders!" ”

"The iron shell of the watermelon can deal with the Japanese robbers?" The boss asked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Fang Lei smiled: "Yes! Fill the iron shell with explosives, and when the pirates enter the village to rob, they ambush on both sides of the road at the entrance of the village, and when they come, they ignite the medicine and ignite the poison, just like blowing up stones, and with a "peng" sound, they bloom everywhere and blow them up! ”

"Oh! I see, why do you ask to cast the shell thinner, in order to maximize the explosive effect of the explosive, if the shell is too thick, it can't explode and kill the enemy! The boss said.

Fang Lei said: "That's what I said! ”

"Where are you?" The boss asked suddenly.

The housekeeper said: "We are from Dawangzhuang, and we are only a dozen miles away from here!" ”

"No wonder you want to make this kind of thing, it turns out that it is the people of the anti-Japanese army, and it is the team that protects the people!" The boss said.

Fang Lei asked, "The boss also knows the news?" ”

"Not only the old man, but the entire Wanghai County, and even the entire Jiangzhou Mansion, all know that Dawangzhuang has a team to kill the Japanese and exterminate the Kou, and the first battle of Dawangzhuang almost wiped out the entire army of 500 invading Japanese Invaders, whether it is the common people, the residents of the city, and even the soldiers stationed in Jiangzhou, they also scolded the decision-makers for being useless, and even a peasant army could not be compared, which made the soldiers humiliated!" The boss said admiringly.

Fang Lei said: "Boss! Then you quickly cast the watermelon shell, and the sooner you exterminate the Japanese bandits, the sooner the common people will be spared! ”

"Good! I'll make the sand mold now, you two will stay here tonight, and tomorrow afternoon I will cast forty or fifty of them for you to take back for testing, and if it works, we will produce them in large quantities!" The boss said it very simply.

The housekeeper took out three hundred taels of silver from his bag, handed it to the boss, and said, "This is a deposit, you are busy first, and my son and I will go to the mining place to have a look!" ”

"It's a big deal! Even if there is no deposit, the old man will make a batch out first, and let you test whether you can send the widows to the sky! The boss said crisply.

The two walked along the mountain path to the place where the miners worked, to see how they mined the stone and how they smelted pig iron.

Originally, mining stone is so simple, the miners use a short-handled hoe, take out a cat's ear hole, dig down the ore, and then use two bamboo baskets to hold it, pick it to the iron-making furnace under the mountain, let the furnace workers put it into the blast furnace one by one, calcined it with firewood, the blazing fire burns the iron raw materials into red molten iron, and after cooling, it becomes pig iron, this kind of pig iron has many impurities, low purity, hard and brittle, and the earth mine shell made of this pig iron is the most suitable.

In the evening, when the two returned to the boss's residence, he had already cast a clay mine shell with the masters, Fang Lei saw it, was very satisfied, and said: "The masters are really good, the size of the appearance, the thickness of the shell, are just right, just like this, let's cast fifty first, tomorrow morning we will go to Jiangzhou City, purchase a batch of explosives, and when we pass by in the afternoon, we will transport it back together for testing!" ”

The boss said: "Childe carefully check, if there is anything dissatisfied, we will improve!" ”

"I don't have high requirements for this, as long as I can blow up the Japanese invaders then!" Fang Lei said.

At dinner, the three of them drank a few glasses of wine, and Fang Lei whispered: "Boss! The role of this watermelon iron shell, don't leak it out, in case the thieves know about it and create it to harm the people, we will all become accomplices! ”

"This is used to eliminate the Japanese Bandits, I only recognize you, no matter how much money others give, I will resolutely refuse them!" The boss patted his chest and promised.

At dawn, Fang Lei drove the carriage and galloped straight to Jiangzhou City, more than 20 miles away, and it was an official road, spacious and flat, and it would arrive in half an hour.

The housekeeper took Fang Lei to a store, and the boss saw that it was a regular customer, and said enthusiastically: "Steward Wang!" Is the village going to blow up stones to build a big house again? ”

The housekeeper smiled: "Boss Zhang! If the price is right, we will have more than the explosives needed to build a hundred houses! ”

Boss Zhang saw that there was a big business, and said with a smile: "We are in business, the larger the amount of goods you want, the more favorable the price!" ”

When he said that, he took the two of them to the explosives warehouse to inspect the goods, Fang Lei saw that the bulk explosives were not in good condition and there were many impurities, so he was not very satisfied, and asked: "Boss!" Is it all these inferior goods that you are dealing in your warehouse? ”

The boss said: "What your housekeeper wanted before is such a product, the price is cheap and the quantity is sufficient!" ”

"That's used to blow up stones, and this son is used to blow up beasts and beasts, and you need to use high-quality explosives to blow them up to the ground!" Fang Lei said solemnly.

Boss Zhang knows: Now there are some remote mountainous areas, large groups of wild boars are infested, wild beasts are rampant, they use high explosives to make wild boar cannons, bread on the outside of food, wild boars rush to eat in the mouth, "Peng" sound, even the upper and lower mouths are blown up.

But Fang Lei was not talking about this kind of beast, only the housekeeper knew what he meant, and said, "Boss Zhang! You should have this explosive here, right? ”

"Yes! I have all the military explosives here, but the price is more expensive! The boss said.

The butler said, "You get what you pay for!" I know that, but don't be too expensive! ”

"You are a regular customer, you want a large amount of goods, of course you will not ask for a price, come with me to see the goods first, and then negotiate the price when you are satisfied!" The boss is indeed a shrewd businessman, and he did not bite the price to death, leaving a way back for himself.

Boss Zhang opened the second warehouse, Fang Lei's eyes lit up, after all, it was military supplies! Even the packaging is different, he picked a little bit with a piece of bamboo, and got the explosives out, black and shiny, very high purity, but a little, only about a hundred packs, so he said regretfully: "The goods are good, but a little less, can you transfer more for me?" The price is negotiable! ”

"Childe is really a person who knows the goods, but the price of this explosives is high, the demand is not large, it is estimated that my 100 bags of goods, it will take a year to sell, if you want the goods, order in advance!" Boss Zhang said.

Fang Lei asked: "Order now, when will it be available?" ”

"The goods will arrive in about fifteen days, if you are sure to ask, pay the deposit first!" Boss Zhang said.

Fang Lei said with certainty: "There is no problem with funds, but I have one condition!" ”

"On what terms?" Boss Zhang asked.

Fang Lei said: "It's just that all the military explosives I got in the future will be left to me!" ”

As he spoke, he took out a gold bar from his bag and handed it to Boss Zhang, who was so shocked that he looked at it again and again, wiped it and wiped it, and then bit it with his teeth, which was sure that it was genuine, and he hurriedly and carefully put it into his sleeve, afraid of being seen by the guy, and always remembered.
