【Have you learned the Elementary Forging Technique: Refining Metal, Do You Use Skills?】 】．

Li Mu silently confirmed that just like when smelting ore, his body moved involuntarily, and the movements were basically the same, using iron tongs and crucibles, but there was a slight difference in the heat. A few minutes later, the process was completed, and a system prompt appeared in my mind, and the gold impurities were refined to complete, and 4 grams of gold were obtained.

4 grams of gold?

Li Mu calculated in his heart, 1 tael of gold is equal to 10 taels of silver, 1 tael is equal to 50 grams, converted, 5 grams of gold is equal to 1 tael of silver, then 4 grams of gold is 8 taels of silver! It's just a piece of gold! Li Mu glanced at the iron ore slag piled up in the southeast corner of the house, and checked it visually, if it was all just this proportion, this pile of iron slag could smelt at least 500 grams of gold! That's 100 taels of silver! 100 kan money!

"What a waste!" Thinking that I don't know how many iron slags were transported away and thrown away, Li Mu was heartbroken. Where is this slag, it is clearly a mountain of gold! He didn't smelt any iron ingots anymore, so he took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, so he hurriedly planed the gold mountain, otherwise he might be transported away again tomorrow!

Using the skill of refining metal costs 5 HP at a time, indicating that this skill is less labor-intensive than smelting ore. Beginner skills cost a penny per use, which is negligible compared to output.

Li Mu found a big shovel, filled the furnace with iron slag one spade after another, and then used refining metal, until his physical strength was only 5 points, he had already obtained 54 grams of gold and a copper ingot (10 catties). Unlike gold and silver, which are inherently monetary, copper is regarded as a material in the system, and of course copper can also be made into copper coins, but this requires you to first learn the sub-skill "casting" of blacksmithing, and then you need to buy "Casting Pattern: Kaiyuan Tongbao", and you can only mint copper coins after learning it. Casting is a branch that can only be learned at the intermediate level of forging techniques, and "Casting Pattern: Kaiyuan Tongbao" is an advanced pattern. Judging from the current rate of skill improvement, there is no need to think about it in three or two years.

Li Mu didn't care, he got 54 grams of gold in one afternoon, and he was not satisfied. He exchanged all 54 grams of gold into silver in the system, a total of 10 taels and 8 yuan, seeing this amount, Li Mu's pressure all the time was suddenly reduced a lot. What does it mean to be rich with a thunderbolt on the ground? That's it! After refining these iron slags, 100 taels of silver will be in hand, and looking at the entire Dingxiang City, he is also one of the few rich people!

However, thinking of the kryptonite level of the system, Li Mu calmed down again. One hundred taels of silver, which seems like a lot, but it is only enough at the stage of primary skills. When the skill is upgraded to the intermediate level, each skill will cost 10 yuan, and the price of various recipes and patterns will be at least ten times more expensive, and a hundred taels of silver will not be enough. When it reaches the stage of advanced skills, it is ten times more expensive than intermediate skills, and a hundred taels of silver can't even buy a few patterns.

"I still can't relax!" Li Mu put away the thoughts of the nouveau riche, at this time, it was time to get off work, he put out the fire, simply cleaned up, and closed the door of the house. With Li Siwen's care, Li Mu is still quite comfortable in the ordnance superintendent, at least not like others, there is an overseer standing behind him all day long. Of course, this is also because Li Mu did three days of work in one morning, and the work that should be done was done early, so naturally no one urged him.

The ordnance supervisor also put food at night, but Li Mu didn't go to the stove to get it, and now he is not short of this money for dinner, and he can't afford to look down on people for a few nests. Li Mu received today's twenty literary wages and went home.

As soon as he came out of the ordnance prison, Li Mu saw a woman probing her brain at the door of her house, who else could it be if it wasn't Bai Qiaoqiao. Looking at her appearance, it seems that it is not the first time she has come out to see it, Li Mu waved his hand at her, Bai Qiao happened to see it, and slipped into the yard and disappeared. Li Mu couldn't help but laugh dumbly, whether this girl was active or shy, he was a little confused. Sometimes it's frighteningly bold, and sometimes it's too shy to scratch your head.

After walking a few steps, Li Mu also arrived at the door of the house. He pushed the door open and shouted, "Mother, I'm back!" ”

"My son is back?" Sun Shi came out and saw Li Mu staying by the stove for a day, his face was dark, and he said distressedly: "My son has worked for a day, are you tired?" Qiaoqiao has already prepared the meal, just waiting for you to come back to eat. You didn't even look at it, she has been waiting for you at the door, and she just returned to the house...... "Sun was afraid that Li Mu would not know Bai Qiaoqiao's goodness, so he kept nagging. Li Mu handed over the twenty literary wages he had just received to Sun, and said, "Mother, you count how much it is, and I'll wash my face first." ”

"The basin is in the yard, Qiaoqiao has made some water for you!" Sun counted the money, and did not forget to remind him, Li Mu responded, came to the courtyard, and happened to bump into Bai Qiaoqiao who came out with a clay pot, the two glanced at each other, and Bai Qiaoqiao avoided with a red face.

Li Mu stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Lady, I heard that you have been waiting for me at the door?" ”

"I didn't ......" Bai Qiaoqiao didn't dare to look at Li Mu's eyes, his head turned to the side, Li Mu dodged over to block the front, Bai Qiaoqiao couldn't dodge, and couldn't help but glance at him.

Li Mu grinned, leaned into Bai Qiaoqiao's ear and whispered, "When my mother sleeps, come to my room." ”

After speaking, as if something had happened, he bypassed Bai Qiaoqiao to wash his face. Bai Qiaoqiao looked at Li Mu's back in a daze, and a blush appeared on his face, as if he had been dyed by the burning clouds in the sky. While counting the money, Sun watched the little couple flirting and scolding, and he was extremely relieved. Ben came to Dingxiang City, and saw that there were ten rooms and nine emptiness on this street, except for soldiers and soldiers, there were not even a single people, and her heart had sunk by half. How can life be spent in such a place? But now, she also wants to open up, live a life, live a human life, as long as someone is there, she can live anywhere. Seeing the harmony between the young couple, the Sun family was content.

Dinner was still porridge and dried vegetable soup, and Li Mu ate it so much that his mouth was about to fade out of the bird. But there is no way, there are only these two things at home. Now there is not even a merchant in Dingxiang City, even if Li Mu has the money to buy it, he has no place to buy it. As a result, Li Mu yearned for Chang'an even more. Although he doesn't know what Chang'an is like, as the capital of the Tang Dynasty, at least in terms of food, it should be the best in this era.

"Eat ......?"

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Li Mu's mind, the problem of eating can be solved, isn't there a skill of cooking in the system? In the past, I didn't dare to learn without money, but now that I have money, it's not over when I learn it!
