Liu Xiaozhong didn't know how he left the top of the mountain, anyway, when he walked halfway up the hill, he was woken up from the silence by the cold wind. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

was kicked out by his own nephew, and he didn't have a word to refute, which made him feel panicked all over his stomach.

Didn't I apologize to Saburo and Xiuyun? How could you be greedy enough to ask Saburo to help me recommend?

Alas......

Liu Xiaozhong left, Liu Yuanshan moved a little to recover his spirits, waved the negative emotions brought from the mountain to the back of his head one by one, and then continued to train with his subordinates.

Intensive training in the morning, hunting in the mountains in the afternoon, more than a dozen people slowly became familiar with the terrain in the mountains and the places where wild beasts often haunt, and also knew the most basic methods of hunting.

Meat has finally become unimportant, and Liu Yuanshan doesn't have to worry about the source of meat when more than a dozen people are training for the time being.

A few days later, all the sixteen men were divided into two groups, one led by one in charge, numbering eight, and after the morning training, they went hunting in the mountains with tools in the afternoon.

Liu Yuanshan took another team of nine people, including himself, to do something he thought was more meaningful.

For example, drying the firewood cut from the mountain, for example, starting to contact charcoal burning with the help of Second Uncle Mao, such as leading people to dig mud and burn bricks together.

The bricks were not burned to build a house, but to build what he considered to be the most important structure for him at the moment: the small blast furnace of earth-based steelmaking!

Now I have the divine book in my hand, there is no problem with the most basic industrial technology, the knowledge is there, and the materials and tools at hand are just missing. Steel as the main material is the cornerstone of industry, and it would not be possible without it.

It sounds a bit earthy, and people in the sixties and seventies remember it most vividly, and this thing even harmed the economic construction of the whole country for a while. But it is undeniable that as a soil technology, it will drag down the development of the national economy and the whole society during the Republic period, but in the Ming Dynasty, which does not, it is a black technology.

Although the quality of the steel produced by the local method of steelmaking is very poor, it is undeniable that even if the quality is poor, it is still steel.

The key is that the technical requirements of soil steelmaking are simple, and this small blast furnace can be built with the most basic materials, which has no threshold for Liu Yuanshan.

The sound of firecrackers is the new year, and the new year is coming.

Liu Yuanshan stood in a hidden place on the top of the mountain, lit the thousand firecrackers in his hand, showed a shallow smile in the confetti flying randomly, and said softly in words that no one could understand: Hi Pi Niu Ye'er!

The sound of the cannon stopped, the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air was blown away by the wind, and on the other side of the air, a cylindrical building more than two feet high came into view, which was the steel-making earthen furnace that he and many friends had spent three days building.

So far, there is a steel-making earth stove, and the charcoal is not available for the time being, but the wood has been dried and is ready to be fired, which is not a problem.

The problem is the lack of the main material, iron ore!

There is iron ore in Fang County, but there is no near Liujia Village, Liu Yuanshan needs to mine it himself if he wants this thing, but at present, he only has these dozen human resources in his hands, and there are hundreds of taels of silver, which is a lot, but in fact, it is very little. He does not have the strength to mine iron ore, and it is difficult to achieve even if he sends people out to explore iron ore.

Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty did not prohibit the use of iron by the people, although it was impossible to mine iron ore on a large scale, he could buy pig iron directly from the people by purchasing it! With iron, you can make steel, and when you make steel, you can make all kinds of tools that were used in the early days, but now is not the time to go out and buy pig iron.

Because it's the New Year.

Although the countryside and mountain villages are remote, the flavor of the New Year is quite strong!

Recently, there is a small team of people who are in charge of hunting, and there are so many meat at home that they can't finish eating, and the old sister and mother have already prepared all kinds of meat-filled dumplings with Fan's sister-in-law's family, including wild boar meat traps, hare meat traps, and also prepared a lot of leek stuffing. Although one life and one are still vulgar now, but on the first day of the new year, the two of them still asked to be vegetarian, Liu Yuanshan didn't know why, thinking that it was finally a custom.

When it was almost noon, Liu shouted Liu Yuanshan to the main house, and said with some stammering: "Three, San Lang, this day has passed very quickly, and the New Year has passed in a blink of an eye." ”

"Yes, mother!" Liu Yuanshan said with a smile: "I made a lot of dumplings this year, mother, you have to eat more!" ”

"My mother didn't eat much!" Liu Yanran puffed out her cheeks and said a little angrily.

"Ah......" Liu Yuanshan looked at Liu and asked, "What's the matter, who made you angry or what?" ”

"It's not angry, it's I think, I think!" Liu stammered.

Liu Yanran said: "Our mother said that she would send dumplings to our grandmother for the New Year!" ”

As soon as he heard Dong, Liu Yuanshan's face instantly became gloomy.

Liu Shi saw that his son's face had changed, and he was frightened in his heart, and said in a low voice: "If you don't agree, then let's forget it." I thought that she was always my mother, I hadn't seen her for so long, how could I do my filial piety! ”

Although Liu Yuanshan is young, he is already the head of the family, Liu himself has no backbone, and he listens to his son in everything, and when he sees his bad face at this moment, he thinks that Liu Yuanshan is unhappy.

Liu Yuanshan shook his head, took a deep breath and said: "It should have been, although it was a desperate household at the beginning, we could have ignored her filial piety, but we couldn't write two Liu characters in one stroke, and the love of parents is determined by God, how can you say that you don't want it." ”

"That'...... Saburo, do you mean to give her dumplings? Liu Yanran was a little surprised, and a little angry: "They treated us so much before, and they almost sold you to the palace!" ”

"Forget it!" Liu Yuanshan waved his hand and said: "They can be dogs without shame and skin, but we can't be people, we should still send them." He thought further, giving dumplings is a trivial matter, there is nothing to do or not to do, but to be a person in front of people, do not do it in vain.

As for saying that the people in the old house climbed up the pole and wanted to touch them, that was a joke.

"Mother!" Liu Yuanshan said with a smile: "Go and go, but don't go, my sister and I are juniors, we will do this for the two of us, one shows your lenient heart, and the other is to let me and my sister run errands for you, a little filial piety!" ”

"It's sweet in your mouth!" Liu smiled out of relief.

Liu Yuanshan talked and persuaded the old sister Liu Yanran for a while before she agreed to follow her to the old house.

In addition to two large bowls of pork dumplings, there is also a hare, two pheasants, and a large piece of wild boar! These things were carried by Liu Da, Liu Er and Xiaoyu Xiaoqing, and the group of six people went down the mountain and walked towards the old house.
