Chapter 275

Wang Yang raised the iron shelf in his hand, and with the other hand, he easily lifted the wooden box containing almost fifty catties of lead and tin ingots, greeted the two, and led the two to a room next to no one and sat down and said.

"I heard from the cow steward that you two are the best carvers, and now I have a matter for you to do...... Help me carve the letters, but you don't need to carve them on a wooden board......"

The iron stove in front of him was steaming, and there was hardly any clutter in it, except for a neat workbench and a few wooden boxes. This is the workshop that Wang Yang is going to use to make movable lead type.

"Carved in the mud?" After hearing Wang Yang's request, Lao Zhao Tou and his graduation couldn't help but be a little confused.

Lao Zhao looked at the owner with a smile, and the owner, who had always seemed very friendly, said cautiously. "Little old man heard it right, the owner, the mud thing is not strong, this is even if it is carved, once the water dries, it is easy to break when touched."

Wang Yang had already taken off the fur fur on his body, rolled up his sleeves, picked up a wooden basin, walked to one of the large boxes and opened it, revealing the clay without any impurities inside, Wang Yang carefully took his hand in and took out two handfuls into the basin.

Under the gaze of the old man Zhao and the graduate, Wang Yang came to the iron stove, put the basin down, picked up the water from the iron stove and poured it carefully, and then began to mix the mud with his hands.

After a lot of effort, a piece of clay with almost no impurities, enough to be used to burn porcelain, appeared in front of Old Man Zhao and the graduate.

At this time, Wang Yang picked up a piece of wet mud the size of his finger, squeezed it into the hollow hole in the square iron cylinder, worked hard to fill it completely, and then wiped the surface extremely smooth, and then handed the iron cylinder with a diameter of about one centimeter to the old man Zhao.

Then he continued to bring another hollow iron cylinder, and handed it to the graduate, seeing these two confused carvers, Wang Yang grinned.

"Come, Lao Zhaotou, you carve me a king character, you carve me a foreign character after graduation, remember that what I need is a Yin engraved font......"

Although Old Man Zhao and Na Graduated were a little full of questions, they still honestly followed Wang Yang's instructions, copied the carving tools they had brought over, and began to carefully carve the characters on the smooth surface of the clay.

At this time, Wang Yang picked up a small iron crucible and put it on the iron stove, and then took a piece of lead and tin ingots and pressed it into the small crucible, quietly waiting for the lead and tin ingots to melt.

After walking around outside, Master Li and Liu Yiyi, who felt quite bored, had already come to this room to watch the excitement, and watched curiously as Wang Yang melted the lead and tin ingots there.

Although the two well-informed and interesting beautiful girls didn't know what Wang Yang was going to do, they were very well-behaved and sat next to the fire, just watching the excitement and not asking much.

Compared with carving wood, the carving of clay is much simpler, which does not require exertion, and more importantly, what errors are carved, and then the mud is wiped in, and there is no fear of mistakes.

Soon, both the word Wang and the word foreign were already placed in front of Wang Yang. Only then did Wang Yang notice that Lao Zhao's head was carved in Lishu, and Bi Sheng was carved in italics.

Although the shape of the font is different, each stroke is quite clear and neat, and the lines are smooth, which is enough to see that the carvers of these two are indeed quite good.

After Wang Yang nodded with satisfaction, he picked up another slightly larger iron cylinder, and then put the square iron cylinder inlaid with clay movable type in it, and then picked a square iron cylinder of the same size as the carved clay movable type and put it in.

After doing all this, Wang Yang brought two iron tongs, one grabbed the iron cylinder covered with clay movable type, and the other picked up the crucible where a certain amount of lead and tin had melted, and then approached the iron cylinder and began to carefully pour lead and tin water into it.

At the first time, there was a burst of water vapor inside, but soon, it was blocked by the metal liquid, and with Wang Yang carefully dumping, it didn't take much effort to fill the iron cylinder, Wang Yang carefully loosened the iron cylinder, let it rest on a wide iron sheet that had been prepared, and then clamped another iron cylinder to concoct in the same way.

It wasn't until the two iron cylinders were filled with lead and tin water that Wang Yang put aside the tongs pot that there was not much residual molten metal, and let out a breath of air. "Alright, now all we need to do is wait."

"Master, what are you doing here?" It wasn't until Wang Yang had everything done that Master Li, who had been holding back for a long time, threw out the question as soon as possible.

"This thing is called lead type, and as for what it will do, you will soon know. Come on, let's continue ......."

"You carve a wind, you carve a stream, you carve a talent, you carve a person......" Wang Yang felt that it was not a matter to continue to wait for the two lead movable types to become cold, so he simply continued to make new copper movable type, anyway, there were still a lot of iron cylinders.

"Wang Yang is a talented man...... Tut-tut, Uncle Wang, you are enough, even playing with mud does not forget that you are a merry talent. Liu Yiyi next to her quickly came back to her senses, and couldn't help but glare at this hooligan who played with mud and didn't forget to flatter himself.

Wang Yang laughed dryly, not ashamed, but proud, and energetically pounded the clay there again, and then began to melt lead and tin again.

After casting the last four lead characters, Wang Yang carefully pushed out the two lead characters that he had made at the beginning from the iron cylinder.

After carefully looking at it a few times, I was very satisfied, although it was the first time to make it, but there were no pores on the surface of the lead type, but because of the slight difference in the depth of the strokes, but this small problem was easy to solve.

Wang Yang carefully polished the two newly baked movable type, and asked the graduate to get a small dish of printing ink and rice paper.

Then, the four of them saw with eight eyes that Wang Yang held the two square-looking lead movable type in his hands, and then glued the ink and gently covered the rice paper.

A king character in the official script and a foreign character in italics appear so clearly on the rice paper. Liu Yiyi looked at the proud Wang Yang with an expression that was a little crying and laughing. "Brother Wang, you've been messing around for so long, just to get a few lead seals to play?"

Wang Yang smiled and winked at Liu Yiyi. "Don't worry, you'll understand in a while......"

After the other pencil characters were also cooled, Wang Yang held the six movable words tightly together with his big hands, and then picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, first brushed it on the pencil characters, and then covered it on the paper.

"Wang Yang is a talented man...... Okay, the slave family admits that you're a merry genius, right? Please, can you get some dry goods, you won't let the slave family and your sister come over, it just depends on how cheeky you are, right? Although the last sentence was very soft, Rao was like this, and Master Wang couldn't hold it anymore.

I couldn't help glaring at the woman who hadn't turned a corner yet, and then rearranged the six lead words and put them on the paper.

"Ocean currents, princes, talents...... What does this mean, master? Master Li was a little confused, and he couldn't understand the words that the master was angry and angry, isn't Wang Yang a good man?
