At noon, Li Mu ate a small stove at Lao Tietou's residence. As the superintendent of the ordnance superintendent, the old iron head lives in a courtyard by himself.

Lao Tietou took a few nests on the stove, brought a pot of wild vegetable soup, and cut the air-dried bacon brought by Li Siwen to make a meat dish, although it was not rich, but in Dingxiang City at this time, this was already an excellent food. The old iron head ate so happily that he couldn't stop slurping. Li Siwen didn't eat much, but just gnawed on a nest head as if curious. Li Mu ran out of physical strength, and he was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, but after all, it was in Lao Tietou's place, and Lao Tietou was still his top boss, he was not good at going too far, just eating and drinking vegetable soup, and the bacon was not moved with chopsticks.

As one nest after another entered the stomach, the physical strength slowly recovered. When he ate six, his physical strength had recovered to 90 points, and Li Mu stopped, he didn't want people to think that he was a rice bucket.

Li Siwen finally swallowed the nest he gnawed, choked with a hideous face, picked up a bowl of wild vegetable soup and wanted to go smoothly, but choked again, coughing and tears broke out. Li Mu patted him on the back, and it took a while to recover.

Seeing this, the old iron head bared a mouthful of big yellow teeth, and grinned: "Li Gongzi, I must not be used to eating it when I tell you, and I still don't believe it." Is this nest for such delicate people? Now visible? ”

Li Siwen was tossed enough, and said with palpitations: "If you don't eat it again, this nest will be hard!" Saying that, he looked at Li Mu and said, "With such a hard nest, you can eat six, amazing!" ”

Li Mu smiled bitterly in his heart, it's over, he is still being used as a rice bucket. When Lao Tietou heard this, he said a fair word for Li Mu: "Li Gongzi, as far as he did in the morning, he didn't eat six much, but he didn't know, he would be hungry if he contributed to his efforts, and he had to eat if he was hungry. ”

"I don't understand what I'm saying." Li Siwen waved his hand, ignored the old iron head, and asked Li Mu: "Li Mu, I'm just curious, didn't you say yesterday that you didn't learn to strike iron, why did you do your job so well today, although I don't know how to strike iron, but I have also walked around the ordnance supervision a few times, and I haven't seen anyone fiddle with iron ingots so squarely." ”

Of course, Li Mu couldn't say anything about the system, so he had to pretend to be naïve, scratched the back of his head, and said, "I don't know what's going on, I just want to do a good job." I really haven't struck iron before, but today I can only be taught by the iron supervisor. ”

"Impossible!" The old iron head swallowed the nest in his mouth, snatched the words and said: "This kid, his face remains the same when he lies, he is not sincere!" I don't understand anything else, old iron head, you can't hide it from me, you can clean up the iron ingot so neatly, you must have beaten iron. As he spoke, he rolled his eyes and said, "I'm afraid that there is some secret method, and I'm afraid that others will learn it, so I deliberately don't say it." ”

Li Mugang was about to explain, but Li Siwen was not happy at first, and said, "Old Tietou, what are you doing so yin and yang?" My brother said that he just wants to do a good job, so is this also wrong? Don't you see that he is so tired that he is lying on the ground? Besides, even if there is a secret method, is it wrong to prevent it? I've heard a long time ago that you have a secret method for Mo Dao, otherwise, you use your secret method in exchange for my brother, I'm in charge, I will change it with you, will you change it? ”

The old iron head hurriedly waved his hand, his secret method of opening the knife for Mo was inherited by his family, and it was already four generations in his generation, and he also relied on this secret method to get mixed into the position of supervisor. In the Tang army, in addition to the cavalry, the Mo knife team is the trump card in the foot soldiers, and the sharpness of the Mo knife can sometimes even determine the victory of a war. In contrast, Li Mu's secret method of smelting ore is far inferior. After all, the demand for iron ingots is not so large, as long as it can be used, it doesn't hurt to hurry up and slow down.

Although Li Siwen said this, he obviously didn't believe that Li Mu was a novice. Li Mu also saw it, he didn't want to make Li Siwen feel upset because of this matter, so he said: "I really don't have any secret methods, otherwise, when I was working in the afternoon, the iron supervisor was watching from the side?" ”

The old iron head came to his senses and said, "Really? ”

Li Siwen hurriedly said: "Li Mu, this is not child's play, if you really have a secret method, you should guard against it, the old iron head has been playing iron for forty years, and his eyes are very vicious, if he learns it, you will lose, and he is unwilling to change." ”

When the old iron head heard this, he just laughed, obviously being thought of by Li Siwen.

Li Mu said: "Where did the secret method come from, it is the one from the Iron Prison Orthodox Sect in the morning, if you can see the secret method, it is also unintentionally obtained by me, it is not my secret method, it doesn't matter." ”

Li Mu had already said this, Li Siwen no longer persuaded him, and he was also curious about how Li Mu beat the iron ingot so squarely. The old iron head thought that Li Mu had a secret method, and he didn't even eat at the moment, so he called a little apprentice to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and dragged the two of them straight to the house where Li Mu was working.

Li Mu was not worried at all about what the old iron head could see, first, he knew that there was no secret method, and even if there was, his skills came from the system, and the old iron head did not have a system, how could he understand it. The three of them came to the furnace, Li Mu followed what the old iron head taught in the morning, Mr. Fire, waited until the temperature was about the same, filled the ore, waited for the ore to begin to melt, and used the skill silently in his heart, and then under the effect of the skill, he took the iron tongs, clamped the crucible, watered and quenched, and separated the impurities...... After a set of processes, it is no different from the old iron head.

The old iron head stared at the side without blinking, trying to find out Li Mu's secret method, but he was disappointed, because Li Mu taught all the procedures from beginning to end, and there was nothing special about it. If there is a problem, it is that Li Mu has done too well and is too standard!

Li Siwen couldn't see anything, but he didn't care, he just looked at the old iron head puzzled and thought it was funny. Li Siwen deliberately teased him and said, "Old Tietou, do you also have a time to look away?" ”

The old iron head had nothing to say, so he had to laugh dryly, and the atmosphere was awkward for a while. After staying for a while, the old iron head went to supervise the work and left, leaving only Li Siwen. Li Siwen saw that the old iron head was gone, so he said: "Li Mu, you rest for a while, why are you so sincere, you are not too tired to panic." ”

Li Mu just finished the second iron ingot, wiped the sweat on his forehead when he heard the words, and said: "Naturally, you must be honest in your work, otherwise it will become a stealing and trickery?" ”

Li Siwen pulled Li Mu to sit down and said, "Of course honesty is right, but have you ever thought that the more you work, the more work you will have in the future, and everyone will receive the same salary, aren't you stupid?" It's like this iron ingot, just now I can help you get to the bottom, even if the old iron head comes to fight by himself, he can't hit ten yuan a day, you hit ten yuan this morning, and you still do it in the afternoon, I don't think it will take three days, this pile of iron ore has to let you finish it, can the old iron head let you be idle at that time? I'm sure I'm going to find you a job again, sit down and rest for a while, and we'll talk. ”

Li Mu couldn't wait to find more work, so that his skill proficiency could rise faster. But he couldn't bear to refuse Li Siwen's kindness, he let him rest for a while, then he would rest for a while, and it just so happened that he still had a lot of doubts and wanted to ask Li Siwen.
