Chapter 23: Jelly Rolls

Xin Kun soaked in the water until the water was cold, and she came out of the big bath. Her window was covered with a layer of cloth, and under the influence of costume drama, she resolutely did not let her room be poked.

After she finished washing, she still felt that she was smelly, and no one was not afraid of the smell, but she knew it very well. Either donate the land to the county, and she can leave it alone. But since this land is still in the name of the Xin family, she can't ignore it.

No matter how stinky it is, she can only rush forward. Otherwise, what should I do, let the old man go? She's really not that cheeky.

After changing his clothes, he went to the kitchen first, and saw that the cauldron was in full swing, and Lao Li's daughter-in-law was busy with her daughter-in-law Xiao'an, plus Sister-in-law Liu, who was cooking for the workshop.

Although Sister-in-law Liu's cooking skills are average, fortunately, Lao Li's daughter-in-law was picked by the old man for Lao Li, and although her appearance is average, she is a really capable hostess. The best thing is that I heard that there is a good cook.

So as soon as Xin Kungang told Lao Li, just leave the matter of inviting these people to dinner to Aunt Li. Xin Kun was also relieved. By the way, people have worked hard, don't be reluctant to make it richer. I also asked the sister-in-law Liu from the workshop to help. Unexpectedly, Aunt Li brought Xiao An with her.

Xiao An saw her and hurriedly pushed her out, "This is not the place for boys. ”

"Sister An, I'm just here to see how the preparations are going." Li Xiaoan was older than Xin Kun, so he got married, and he married in the capital after two months. This is also the reason why the old man said that Lao Li went with them. In fact, even if the old man doesn't go, Lao Li and his family will go.

"Don't worry, plus the guys in the workshop, you must be full of oil, where to find a generous person like Xin Ye." Li Xiao'an, like Aunt Li, is a neat person, blasted him out, and went in again with a bucket of water.

Xin Kun also counts, Lao Li knows the old man very well, how much can he eat, and he will never be small. Hurried to the workshop.

In the courtyard of the workshop, there were still people washing their feet by the well, and as for the mud on their bodies, these big men didn't pay attention to it at all. I have to say that there is still some stinky smell in the courtyard.

What moved Xin Kun was that Guo Peng was also there, pointing to the water and roaring there.

"If there is a drought outside, don't waste the well water, don't splash the water on the ground, put it aside, and you can turn around and water the ground."

Xin Kun noticed that in fact, these guards were also very careful, and the water for washing their feet was stored in the waste water bucket. We all know that water is expensive now, and we dare not waste it.

"Big brothers, you're slacking off." Xin Kun stepped forward and gave everyone a deep look.

"Little brother is really, it's not like you haven't worked. But, little brother, you're really a good worker. I really don't look like a reader. ”

One of the guards laughed busily. He was born in a peasant family, and later he was too poor to become a soldier, because his kung fu was good, he was brought into Prince Ren's mansion by Gu Hong, and over the years, he almost forgot the true nature of the farmer.

"Where, I've seen people do this, so I learned from it." Xin Kun lowered his head, "I have already asked someone to arrange food, fortunately, the weather is good, everyone can taste the food of the farmer in the courtyard." ”

"What will be delicious?" The golden-crowned silly boy is here again.

"Believe me, I've known my grandfather for a long time, and I'm really not much longer than you." Xin Kun originally wanted to say that it must be good, but after a while, he decided to tell the truth. Although she believes that the old man doesn't know how to make small tools, she really doesn't know what it will be.

"What do you like? I have a cook at home, and it's a great job. The golden crown fool hurriedly said, but after saying it, he immediately regretted it, he felt a little stupid, why did he say that he had a cook at home?

Gu Hong covered his face on the side, he was also in the ground just now, although he didn't understand, but he was the head of the guard, the little prince could not go to the ground, but as the head, he had to go down. Although he also felt that he was going to die in the ground.

But when he saw that Xin Kun, who was only wearing a thin middle coat, was also in the field, and he didn't do a lot, and then looked back at the little prince, Gu Hong really felt that this kid was good.

Of course, it is precisely because this kid is not bad that it makes the little prince even more stupid. What can I do?

"Uncle Guo, sit down, the meal may take a while, I'll go to the workshop to have a look." If Xin Kun doesn't match this at all, isn't it inevitable that they have a cook in their family? But this inevitable thing is her business? Can she go to his house to eat and drink? Obviously not.

"By the way, that workshop is full of iron, it's so unaesthetic." Guo Peng immediately complained.

"Thank you." Xin Kun smiled, she likes places with execution. It was great to tell them in the morning that they were going to break the waste knife into pieces of iron, and they carried it out. He pulled up the placket of his robe and entered the workshop.

The master craftsmen and the small workers were working together, and the scrapped broadswords were removed from the wooden handles, and one by one they were burned red and rolled into a roll, and then broken into squares.

Xin Kun looked at the small pieces of iron they had already laid. I'm going to be moved to tears, do they know they're playing the famous jelly rolls?

You know, knives are thick and thin, and the width of the knife is just an iron skewer.

She thought they would break it up casually. They actually folded the knife horizontally, beat it into a piece of iron of the same thickness and width, and then gave it to the next one.

And the next one, burned red, and rolled up little by little. It burned red and became translucent, like a transparent jelly. That's why it's called jelly rolls in their row.

This, in her opinion, is difficult, because playing jelly rolls is one of the few projects she has failed. Because the iron is not well fused in the middle. When it was finally quenched, it cracked.

And now, in the eyes of these great craftsmen, it should be the easiest. They were only told to break the knives into pieces of iron. How simple they are, how they came.

However, Xin Kun thought about it again, and felt that he might really think too much. No matter how you hit it, the iron made of the knife will definitely have a pattern. It's just a messy pattern, compared to the current one, it's really not enough to see.

"What are you looking at?" Guo Peng saw pride in her eyes?

"Remarkable." Xin Kun didn't look at the golden-crowned fool, looked at the masters, and praised them.

"Why?" Guo Peng took the piece of iron, looked over and over again, and didn't see a problem. He had just seen how the masters were doing, and while the knife was burned red, he rolled the knife up little by little, and when it was solid, he rolled it again. Isn't this remarkable?

"Outsider." Xin Kun picked up Guo Peng.

Take four pieces of good patterns, take the tin rod and burn red dots on a few points. Four jelly rolls are welded together. Then take a long iron rod and weld it between the large iron blocks, and then sprinkle the large iron pieces with iron sand and put them on the fire to burn them.

"What are you doing?" Guo Peng looked at the big piece of iron that was slowly burning red.
