Chapter 112: A Pot of Stew!
P.S. Thanks weedx赤の to bind my nickname? Tips from three classmates
…………
All of them gathered around the trough, their eyes wide open, wondering what their beloved patriarch's miraculous gold looked like. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"All stand back, stand back, it's an order!"
Quan Chu, Su Wu and others were yelling: "What are you squeezing? What if I show it to you? You don't understand...... Get out of the way! ”
At most, the clansmen took two steps back and still stretched their necks, and despised several generals in their hearts - what kind of garlic is it filled with green onions in the nostrils of a pig? If we don't understand, you do?
However, when they thought that the other party was an official and they were a small soldier, they had to endure this resentment, and silently swore in their hearts that if they had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in the future, they would definitely strive to be the first to become an official, and then they could tell their subordinates...... You don't understand!
Imagining such a scene, many people snickered.
The clear river water flows slowly down in the washing trough, taking away the last bit of sediment and turbidity, and in the horizontal groove at the bottom of the washing trough, there is a faint golden yellow appear, lying quietly at the bottom of the water, some like the size of a grain of rice, and more like small pieces like wheat bran.
Gold, gold!
Lin Feng was lying on the edge of the washing tank and watching, his excitement was simply irrepressible, the guy who used to fight in the streets and alleys of the earth just for a bite to eat, now he actually has a mining area that can produce gold at any time, can he not be excited?
"So this is gold? Let me find out! ”
The big bear-like spring chu shook a lumpy muscle, fished out a slightly larger golden sand grain in the washing trough and threw it into his mouth, chewed two bites like jelly beans and said: "It's about the same as copper, the color is about the same, well, the taste is good, it's softer than copper, but it's still not tasteless......"
"Oh, that's gold!"
Many people have a look of sudden realization, they are now accustomed to having a benchmark for everything, and the benchmark for measuring gold is naturally the first copper block to appear.
Lin Feng was so angry when he heard this, he said in his heart that this is gold, can copper be compared?
Looking at Quan Chu's triumphant smashing of his mouth, he crooked his nose and said, "No taste? Do you want to take it back to the kitchen and add some salt and oil to stew you in a pot so that you can eat your fill? ”
"Is this really edible?"
Everyone was suddenly surprised, and they all swallowed saliva and licked their lips with a salivating look, but Quan Chu finally got smart and said: "Patriarch, it took so much effort to find out a little bit of this gold, and the effort is not proportional to the gain--or you can eat more when the stew comes out, let's taste it!" ”
Su Wu Da Niu and the others nodded in unison, feeling a little uneconomical.
"Elder Yang, bring me my killing rod - Nima knows how to eat, and he is not afraid to eat you to death, and he won't spit it out for me!"
Lin Feng jumped angrily, and when Quan Chu saw him looking for a stick, he was frightened and hurriedly spit out the golden sand that had been chewed up, and said cryingly: "Patriarch, you can eat it alone after the stew, I won't taste it, okay?" Oops, don't fight......"
After a commotion, and after several generals were beaten, many clansmen finally understood that gold is definitely a good thing, but not all good things can be stewed in a pot and eaten with a little oil and salt.
Lin Feng found a small broom and swept the golden sand in the trough into a wooden plate, and then asked everyone to continue washing.
In more than two hours, the labor force of nearly 100 people washed more than ten tons of sediment, but according to his estimates, the amount of sand gold obtained was not more than 100 grams at most, and it was not pure gold.
Although he lamented that the yield was too low, Lin Feng also knew that the content of sand gold was generally five or six grams per meal, and now this yield was already very high.
"Patriarch, they are busy here, let's go back to the village and refine it immediately, right?"
Yang Zongshun couldn't restrain his excitement, now that he has gold, this refining pill furnace can be started immediately, can he not be in a hurry?
"Good!"
Lin Feng asked the beast tamer to lead the mad wolf, let Quan Chu and the others continue to do it, and then he took Yang Zongshun back to the Wooden Horse Village for refining.
The copper ore refinery is the core of the core of the tribe, and the finished copper is placed in a cave in the corner of the refinery, a piece of gold, and there are dozens of large wooden boxes next to it, which are thousands of barbed spear heads cast, as well as various swords, weapons, arrows, etc., this is simply the arsenal of the Trojan Horse Village.
Wooden horse village usual training, are made of wood sharpened into the bayonet spear bow and arrow training, except for hoes, plowshares, axes and saws other than a variety of agricultural tools, ordinary people have no access to metal weapons at all, only the hunting team every time they set off to hunt can go to the warehouse to receive, and like all metal farm tools, must be returned to the warehouse at night, once lost will be heavily punished.
Except for the refining team directly led by Yang Zongshun, ordinary clansmen are absolutely not allowed to approach here, and there are clansmen with bayonet guns in hand who are strictly guarded twenty-four hours a day.
The refinery is different now than it was at the beginning, all kinds of bronze pliers, hammers and other tools are readily available, and even the big bellows have been built, some of which were completed under Lin Feng's guidance, and some were built by the clansmen working in the refinery according to their own work habits.
As the work progressed, they also began to learn to think, and they made rapid progress.
The purity of the golden sand is more than eighty or ninety, so naturally it cannot be refined in the large refining furnace like copper ore, let alone such a hundred grams of golden sand, which is refined in the large furnace, and it is a problem whether it can be found or not.
In the past few months, Yang Zongshun has been in charge of the refining work of the copper mine, and he has a lot of experience, and without waiting for Lin Feng's guidance, he has already prepared a separate refining workshop for himself, which has a small refining furnace made of bronze, and also fired some small refining cups with yellow mud and sand, and has long been prepared for this moment.
"Ignition!"
Yang Zongshun roared in a low voice, his expression was serious and cold, and he looked like a scientist engaged in research.
With a flick of the fingers of several fire power cultivators, a fireball fell into the refining furnace, and the bellows whirred and pulled, and the flames in it burned rapidly, and finally turned into a raging flame, after having the bellows, the cultivators who did not need the power of fire to maintain the high temperature in the refining furnace worked all the way, and only needed to use them when the temperature needed to reach the melting point of the mineral and the temperature brought by the bellows was not enough.
Pouring all the golden sand into a refractory refining cup, Yang Zongshun ordered to increase the firepower, and he used the power of gold to closely monitor the changes in the golden sand, and let the cultivators of the power of fire prepare to raise the temperature at any time, and only wait for the golden sand to melt and remove impurities.
Lin Feng suddenly found that there was almost no need for him here!
However, not only did he not feel disappointed because of this, but he was even more happy - the laborer is controlled by others, and the laborer is controlled by others, and he is very happy to be able to take on the role of this laborer, and the Trojan Horse Village can be predicted to grow step by step, and he does not want to take care of all the opportunities and finally exhaust himself to death.
Quietly withdrew, quickly made a few very small molds, thought about it, and felt that the finished products in the mold were too monotonous, Lin Feng rushed towards the sundries warehouse.
The largest warehouse in the tribe is a food warehouse, which is full of all kinds of pickled meat for the people to eat, in addition, there are leather warehouses and armor warehouses, etc., which have now been stored in different categories, and it is no longer like when everything was put together, and all kinds of smells are in series, which is really unpleasant.
Unlike other warehouses, which are full of stuff, the miscellaneous warehouses have much less stuff, which is specially used to collect all kinds of strange items.
Every time the hunting team hunts, they will go in different directions, in addition to hunting, Lin Feng also arranged a special task for them, to collect plants, ores, etc., that are not around the tribe along the way, take them back and put them in the sundries warehouse, and when he is empty, he can distinguish them against the Chronicles of All Things, and see which things are useful and those things are waste.
Of course, in addition to the things brought back by the hunting party, there were also the things that the dozen or so tribes brought when they came over as treasures.
