Chapter 59: The Cauldron

The morning air has begun to take on a bit of warmth, and the breath of spring has quietly spread to the whole land.

The busyness in the city has not stopped, as soon as the day dawns, the people in the city began to carry their own farm tools to reclaim the countryside or dig canals, Jingzhou is also a big grain producing state today, as long as you are not lazy, there is no military disaster, it is not difficult to survive, but unfortunately, this is a troubled time.

Looking at those busy figures, Liu Yi didn't know how long this kind of paradise-like days could last, and he had forgotten the specific years of the Battle of Chibi, but since Zhuge Liang had already left the mountain, it wouldn't be too long.

Downstairs, the Deng family is cooking in the kitchen made by Liu Yi, this is not a luxurious small building, and the aroma of the food has been permeated at the moment.

Deng Ai is sitting at the door and reading aloud, this is his daily compulsory course, occasionally, Liu Yi will also bring Deng Ai's books to see, the mother and son now live in the same house with Liu Yi, Deng's mother has good skills, Liu Yi is also happy to have a woman who can help him carry the food.

Wangcai lay at Deng Ai's feet, looked at the direction of the kitchen, heard the sound, his ears moved, and then he shouted happily at Liu Yi.

Liu Yi set the rule, Wangcai can't enter the house, and the meal has to wait for them to finish eating, Wangcai can eat, in short, dogs can't live better than people!

"Sir." Deng Ai got up and saluted Liu Yi.

"Keep reading." Liu Yi waved his hand, for the etiquette of this era, even if it has been a year, he is still not very used to it, when he was with Zhuge Liang and other masters in the past, he would learn, but in his own home, he not only seemed impersonal, but also uncomfortable.

Deng Ai will stay here for a while, and Liu Yi doesn't want to be so tired, so these gifts are saved.

"Sir is awake? Let's have some food first. Mother Deng came out with a bowl, and little Deng Ai hurriedly ran to help bring in the finished dough cake and put it on Liu Yi's table.

"Eat together." Liu Yi was also not polite, sitting behind his desk, pointing to a few tables next to him, although his small building is the same as other houses, but the interior furnishings are made by himself, in order to facilitate the hospitality, he deliberately made a few more tables, and when no one is there on weekdays, the three of them eat together.

Deng Ai's mother and son have been living with Liu Yi for a while, and they know that Liu Yi is informal on weekdays, and only when there are guests, they will have strict requirements for etiquette.

"Sister-in-law's craftsmanship is really amazing." Liu Yi took a bite of the dough cake mixed with meat foam, and did not forget to praise Mother Deng.

Thinking about the food he made when he first came, if he were to eat it now, I am afraid it would be difficult to swallow, and it is only now that he knows that cooking can also be so delicious.

"Sir is overrated." Mother Deng shook her head.

Liu Yi didn't speak again, but he just had a whim, if he made his own stoma kettle, no, not only the kettle, but also other kitchen utensils, would he be able to make the food made by Deng more delicious? If that's the case, then you'll be in for a treat.

"Sister-in-law, how about I make a cauldron for you later?" Liu Yi looked at Deng Mudao.

"Why is that?" Mother Deng looked at Liu Yi puzzled: "This kettle is still usable." ”

"The taste is not pure enough!" Liu Yi gave such a lame reason, but as soon as this idea arose, Liu Yi had already made making a pot for himself something that had to be done today.

The appetite is an irresistible temptation for most Han people, there were no conditions before, but now, there is iron, and there are people who cook, if you can make a pot that can improve the taste of food, then your life can be said to be half perfect.

Is life in the world, it is nothing more than the satisfaction of seven emotions and six desires, this appetite is the most important of them, but if you make a pot, it is not suitable to use the hundred refining method, you have to fry steel, and you have to make a mold out, in fact, if the weapon is made by frying steel, the efficiency is faster, but the thing that is made, although it is not bad, but the help for the improvement of skills is limited.

Liu Yi plans to wait for mass production in the future, and then use the frying steel method, which has the bonus of attributes, even if the texture is worse than some well-made hundred forging weapons, but for ordinary soldiers, it is enough.

Now that he had an idea, Liu Yi ate much faster, kneaded the two pieces of bread together and threw them in his mouth, and after drinking the corn porridge in a big gulp, he hurriedly said goodbye to Mother Deng and ran to the Tiangongfang.

In fact, there is no need to be in such a hurry, but Liu Yi was a little irritable when he thought that he could actually make a pot for himself a long time ago, even if he didn't have iron, he could use a clay pot or even a wooden pot instead.

Frying steel is not a technical job, but it has to withstand high temperatures, crush the pig iron into iron sand, and then fry it into a semi-liquid state, this process, in more modern terms, is called decarburization, the carbon in the pig iron and other magazines are eliminated, reduce the carbon content, and the next process is repeated forging, this section, it is almost the same as the hundred forging method.

Because it is only an iron kettle for cooking, not a weapon, it was originally not necessary to forge it repeatedly, but in order to make the pot he made to maximize its effect, Liu Yi spent a whole morning knocking and beating, and even carved a carving of a dragon and phoenix on the periphery of the pot.

When the three-legged kettle is formed, it looks less like a rice cooking vessel than a beautifully crafted work of art.

Kettle with excellent workmanship: Fortune and Treasure +21, Fragrance Floating Ten Miles +24, Endless Aftertaste +22, Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang +1

Liu Yi looked at the three-legged kettle he had built in a morning with satisfaction, the three attributes and all twenty were already good works, but why was there an attribute of fortune and treasure mixed in, and what the hell was that dragon and phoenix Chengxiang?

"Brother Yi'er, are you there?" While Liu Yi was studying the attribute issue, Liu Sandao, who was in charge of patrolling the city today, walked in, and his eyes were unconsciously attracted by the three-legged cauldron in front of Liu Yi: "What is this?" ”

"Cauldron, three-legged cauldron." After Liu Yi looked at it for a while, he picked up the three-legged kettle, pulled Liu Sandao directly, and said, "Let's go, I'll invite you to eat something good today." ”

Fortune and treasure can still be understood, the dragon and phoenix Chengxiang is a little unfathomable, although it doesn't look like a bad attribute, but for the sake of insurance, the new attribute, let people try it.

Liu Sandao: "??? ”
