Chapter 25: The Business of Backward Money

Every day at dawn, Huang Tianba would go up the mountain to chop wood.

He didn't go out early this morning, but was tinkling around in the courtyard.

Huang Zheng was woken up, so he simply put on his clothes and looked at Huang Tianba fiddling with the objects in his hand.

Under the shed where firewood is placed, there is firewood on the left, and dry grass and other firewood on the right.

Huang Tianba took the firewood on the right side to the side of two large bundles, revealing a square stove underneath, the stove was very regular, with a bellows, and a huge hammer next to it.

Huang Zheng knew in his heart that this should be the legendary blacksmith furnace used by the Huang family to make iron.

I heard that because there is no iron block, the Huang family is no longer in the business of striking iron, so what will they do today?

Huang Tianba lit the stove on fire, baked it for half an hour, and used a large load of firewood until the stove was completely red, then he took out a broken, thinly ground iron plough pear in the basket, weighed the weight with his hand, and then threw it into the stove.

He took out an iron scale that had been hidden under the straw and threw it into the stove.

Huang Zheng looked at Huang Tianba's actions curiously, and involuntarily pulled up the bellows with his hand to help Huang Tianba start, as if this was the original Huang Zheng's habitual action.

Seeing that Huang Tianba was sweating on his forehead, Huang Zheng'er consciously took the hammer again, clanked and started the iron, and soon, the prototype of the iron ploughshare pear was played.

Huang Zheng'er was overjoyed, although Huang Zheng'er's memory was lost, but his skills were not lost, and his material science major he studied might be a way for his family to make a fortune.

Huang Tianba was extremely serious in his work, and forged the iron plough pear until the edge of the blade was shiny, and then put it in the water to cool down, put it in the basket, and prepared to go out.

Huang Zheng'er grabbed Huang Tianba suspiciously and asked, "Dad, where are you going?" Isn't this for our own iron pears for spring planting? ”

A suspicious look flashed on Huang Tianba's face, and he finally told the truth after a long time, the Huang family moved back from the county seat, and there was no field to be planted at home, only a vegetable field in front of the house and behind the house.

This iron plough pear is naturally not for home use, but for the three tigers of the king of the east of the village to beg Huang Tianba to help beat it, and it is used for plowing in spring.

Hearing that it was "begging" instead of "buying", the anger in Huang Zheng's heart immediately rushed up, and said angrily: "Dad, you have been busy all morning, lost two loads of firewood, lost your own scales and iron, and did not take a penny, what are you trying to do?" ”

Huang Zheng finally knew why his pot and the knife for digging vegetables were stones, and it was estimated that they were all added to the iron by the east and the west, this Huang Tianba's temperament, I am really sorry for the name Huang Tianba.

Huang Tianba shook his head like a rattle and retorted: "No compensation, no compensation, how can Dad do that thankless thing?" ”

Huang Tianba took out a strip of cloth from his arms, maybe Huang Zheng'er turned out to be literate, and at a glance he saw that it was written: "Wang Sihu's family owes the Huang family half a catty of iron." ”

This is obviously Liu Bei's trick of borrowing Jingzhou and borrowing but not repaying.

Huang Zheng's face turned blue and said: "Dad, how many more strips do you have?" ”

Seeing that his daughter's face was obviously not good, Huang Tianba's voice suddenly became much smaller, and he muttered, "No, it's not much." ”

When Huang Zheng looked at the dozens of IOUs in his eyes, Huang Zheng's face was greener than this iron, and his anger was even stronger than this fire, and he said angrily: "Dad, what do you think?" Our family has eaten the last meal and the next meal, you still have the leisure to make up for others, you add a piece of iron, enough to fight a tank......"
