The sky is slightly bright, with today's sunrise, the people of the daughter city began their hard work today, the sky is gray, the lotus leaves are covered with dewdrops, the grass is fragrant, and the wild flowers are fragrant.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Murong Xiling has gathered nearly a hundred strong workers, although they are women, the muscles on their bodies are not inferior to men, and they have the tendency to not let women shave their eyebrows.

Tang Xuan stood in front of them and shouted: "I have called you today, I have a job for everyone, and I can receive a reward of two hundred and fifty copper coins a month. ”

When the words fell, everyone looked at each other, and the pot exploded in an instant.

"What? Two hundred and fifty copper coins? That's enough for our family to live for a year. ”

"Yes, I don't know what kind of job it is, and there will be such a high pay."

"City Lord, even if you command, we will do our best!"

The people cheered and Elin gave them shovels, hammers, and pickaxes.

Their faces were full of bewilderment.

Seeing this, Tang Xuan began to explain, "Everyone, this is an iron tool, stronger than bronze, but lighter than bronze, everyone's future work is to mine iron ore to make iron, after the refining is successful, the entire daughter city will be one step ahead of the world, and everyone will have a better living environment." ”

"Iron tools?"

"Looks so good!"

"Yes, how did Lord Tang Xuan discover such a divine object?"

"Everything is under the orders of the city lord!"

Their shouts filled the sky and resounded in the sky, and now the daughter city has become decent under the construction of Tang Xuan, and the paper produced by the paper mill has begun to be sold, and a copper coin is enough for a family for three days.

Moreover, the construction workers convened by Tang Xuan have begun to inspect the terrain and draw detailed drawings of the daughter city, and when Tang Xuan's red brick and tile technology takes shape, they will begin to rebuild the daughter city, and the people of the entire daughter city must live a good life.

Under the Daughter City Lord's Mansion is a vein of iron ore, although it is iron ore, but no one knows what he is with, whether there are other minerals, such as gold and diamonds?

In the open area of the Daughter City City Lord's Mansion, it was surrounded by walls and uninhabited, so Tang Xuan chose such a piece of land, and he and Erin worked together to show everyone how to dig iron ore first.

I saw Tang Xuan and Erin each holding a shovel, aiming at the soft part of the soil, and shoveling up a shovel of dirt as soon as they went down, piling the soil aside, men and women working together without getting tired, and after a while, the soil had been piled up into a mountain.

At this moment, Tang Xuan's forehead was already slightly sweating.

Airplanes!

The shovel hit the hard stones, and a bright smile appeared on Tang Xuan's face, and he and Erin replaced the tools in their hands with iron pickaxes and began to beat the stones continuously.

Seeing this, the people around hurriedly picked up the shovel and began to dig the soil, and after a while, everyone dug up the hard stone, and they also followed Tang Xuan's example, and began to pick up the pickaxe in their hands and beat the stone.

There was a lot of strength in numbers, and in only a quarter of an hour, the stones were knocked down to a depth of one meter.

"Young Master Tang Xuan, I found out!"

A worker exclaimed, Tang Xuan and the others immediately surrounded him, only to see a small piece of brown-gray stone mixed with the hard dark purple stone.

Tang Xuan was shocked, and hurriedly used an iron pickaxe to dig it out, and after half an hour, this piece of primitive iron ore was finally completely excavated, and it was the size of four or five fists combined.

"Young Master Tang Xuan, is this iron?"

"That's it?"

Everyone asked.

Tang Xuan pretended to shake his head mysteriously and said, "Of course it's more than that. ”

When the words fell, I saw him sprinkle the soil that had been piled up into the water and piled it up into a dirt circle, leaving an open space in the circle, and Tang Xuan threw the rotten wood blocks obtained from burning wood into it.

"You should know what this is, right?"

Tang Xuan pointed to the dozens of rotten wood blocks and asked.

"It's charcoal, and when winter comes, everyone relies on this kind of thing for warmth."

One of the workers spoke first.

"Yes, Erin will show them how to extract iron from iron ore!"

Tang Xuan handed the iron ore to Erin.

At this moment, Erin buried the iron ore under the charcoal, and then lit the charcoal with a torch, and the fire was churning, and the temperature was extremely high.

Waves of heat rushed into the face, as if they were about to melt away the people present.

Everyone waited in place for a long time, and the location chosen by Tang Xuan was relatively close to the southern sea, so there was often a sea breeze blowing over the wall.

The small sea breeze just accelerated the burning of the fire, and after half an hour, the fire finally stopped, and in the center of the earth was a silver hard thing, and Irene poured the water she had prepared in advance on the silver.

Zizizizi!

A piercing sound came, countless steam smoke rose up, and after the iron cooled down, Tang Xuan took it out and said to everyone, "Have you remembered the process of Fang Cai?" This is the process of ironmaking, and now that the iron has been smelted, it only needs to be molded with a hammer and ready to use! ”

When the words fell, everyone nodded.

Tang Xuan and Erin put this piece of iron in the corner of the wall, and both walked out, while the workers began to dig iron ore for refining.

......

"What? The grain merchant I sent to the daughter city was killed? Outrageous? ”

In the midst of the castle made of gold and marble, a middle-aged blond man dressed in rich clothes screamed angrily, and he slapped his palm on the round table, his eyes split.

"Lord Viscount, you dissipate your anger, I heard that the person was killed by Tang Xuan, the city lord of Daughter City!"

A scrawny old man stood in front of the viscount and whispered.

"Tang Xuan? Isn't the lord of Daughter City the Baroness of Autumn Moon? This crazy woman actually gave up the position of city lord to the untouchables! ”

The Viscount slammed the silver wine glass in his hand to the ground.

Boom!

The glass exploded and was shattered.

"Lord Viscount is discouraged, just a pariah, you can destroy it with a snap of your fingers!"

The old man had a smile on his face and said flatteringly.

"Hmph, Ion, you immediately lead thirty of my knights and take down the Daughter City!"

The viscount snorted coldly, and then stood with his hands in his hands, looking out the window.

......

Daughter City City Lord's Mansion, back kitchen.

Zhu Bajie leaned against the shade of the tree to sleep, while Shelley was enjoying a bag of potato chips, and looked around from time to time, waiting for Tang Xuan's arrival.

"Pig's head, get up!"

Tang Xuan didn't know when he arrived, he looked at the sleeping pig's head, tugged at his ear, and shouted loudly.

"Huh? Division... Division... Master, long time no see! ”

Zhu Bajie bent over and lowered his head, smiling complimentarily.

"Come in with me!"

Entering the back kitchen, Tang Xuan began to teach Zhu Bajie and Shelley to cook.

He washes the chicken thighs he has prepared and begins to blanch.

Bajie and Shelley also learned from Tang Xuan's practice, washed the chicken thighs and began to blanch, and the greedy Bajie almost ate the chicken thighs raw.

After blanching and removing the scum from the scum in the water, Tang Xuan took out the chicken thighs and washed them, and then chopped them into chicken nuggets.

Shelley was originally a warrior of the White Fox clan, and his knife skills were natural, and the size of the chicken pieces cut out was exactly the same.

Bajie is different, he is not very good at fighting, he can't even hold a knife steadily, and the chicken legs cut out are also horizontal and vertical.

Heat the oil, add rock sugar to fry the sugar color, add green onions, ginger, garlic and chili peppers, because there are no star anise cinnamon bay leaves in the Journey to the West world, so Tang Xuan did not put these things.

After stir-frying the chicken nuggets, Tang Xuan put in the light soy sauce and oil consumption, although these things are not available in the Journey to the West, but they can be sold manually, after all, Tang Xuan is a second-class dealer, and it is a big deal to sell them at the price of five copper coins a bottle.

After all, one bottle can last for a month or two or more.

After pouring in a little water, start the pot and cover the stew.

Then came the long forty-five minute wait.

"Bajie, haven't you always liked to eat the food I cooked? After being a teacher, I am busy building a daughter city, and I don't have time to cook food for you personally, so in the days when I am not there, you can cook and eat by yourself, and the master will teach you all the skills! ”

Tang Xuan said and handed the spatula in his hand to Bajie.

Zhu Bajie's eyes suddenly turned red, he half-knelt in front of Tang Xuan, took the spatula and said: "Thank you, master, don't worry, master, my old pig will definitely inherit your mantle and carry forward the food industry!" ”

"Shelley, after you learn it, you will teach these crafts to more people, and carry forward the cuisine of our daughter city!"

Tang Xuan commanded.

Forty-five minutes had passed, Tang Xuan put the cut potatoes into the pot and waited for fifteen minutes again.

"Young Master Tang Xuan, do you want me to teach the people how to cook food with the pig's head?"

Shelley gently climbed onto Tang Xuan's back, gently stroked Tang Xuan's cheek with his little paws, and sprinkled a wave of dog food on the old pig.

The old pig looked like he was eating lemons, obviously knowing that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he ran out sadly, and he didn't even want the little pheasant with freshly stewed potatoes.

"Shelley, come down, the pig's head has run away, and the food here is all yours!"

Tang Xuan smiled helplessly, didn't he understand Shelley's careful thoughts? Isn't she too hungry to eat meat quickly, not to mention that this is still her favorite chicken.

"Young Master, it turns out that you are here, now that the daughter city already has iron tools, do you want to go with us to dig a well outside the city?"

Yuruo suddenly walked in from outside the courtyard, holding an iron pickaxe in her hand, and said.

"It's rare that Yu Ruo is so positive, then let's go together!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw Murong Xiling and Erin rushing in from outside the door, they were anxious and panting.

"Tang Xuan, it's not good."

Murong Xiling was out of breath, and his chest rose and fell.

"Less... Young master, the knights of the Earl of Firefire Skiy have already set off, and it is expected to arrive in Daughter City in three days, so we have to hurry up and prepare for the battle! ”

Erin picked up Murong Xiling's words, but when the words fell, everyone's faces changed greatly.

At this moment, Tang Xuan's brows tightened, his eyes gradually became cold, and he muttered: "I knew for a long time that they would retaliate, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly, and now, I can only use my killer move." ”

......
