Xin Kun still went to the workshop the next day, for Xiao An's decision, she, like the old man, did not comment, but at breakfast, she deliberately came out to eat with them, she saw that Xiao An's face was not good, looked at the snacks on the table, and sandwiched a mutton bun that Xiao An liked and put it in her bowl.

Xiao An looked up and smiled at her, and took a big bite like a gamble. Xiaobao is on Guo Peng's shoulder at this time, he is one year old, and he likes to play with Guo Peng, so early in the morning, Guo Peng put him on his shoulder, gave him a steamed bun, and let him gnaw slowly, even if he is one year old, in fact, he can't eat too flavorful things, and now he is quite happy to gnaw.

Xin Ye is still the same, silently eating the porridge in his bowl. Uncle Li and the old man are becoming more and more alike, and now their heads are buried in the bowl. Xin Yao is also at the table, she is still a guest, but she is familiar with everyone other than the old man. She felt a little suffocated, drank some porridge casually, and looked at Xin Kun obediently, waiting for them to finish eating, so that she could follow to the workshop.

Xin Kun also knew that she didn't like this atmosphere, so she silently drank white porridge and wiped her mouth, "Aunt Li, I'm going to the workshop." ”

"Still going today?" Aunt Li's face was also extremely bad, and she was not happy when she kicked her son-in-law out yesterday. Wu Bo is the most innocent person in it, but what to do. And Wu Bo didn't want to go back to Wu's house, so Cai Guan took him back to Cai's house, a Wu Bo was still very well arranged, she knew that Cai Guan would not treat Wu Bo badly, so she put her mind at ease. But I feel sorry for my daughter. I cursed the Wu family all night, but I really didn't expect to blame the old man, after all, no one would have thought that between the in-laws and the family, such a stupid thing would be done. Unexpectedly, now Xin Kun has to go to the workshop.

"Well, the emperor said that there is no time, but I still have to take the exam in February, so I can't spend all my time in the workshop, so I can finish it quickly." Xin Kun sighed, she went back to her room yesterday to read, she originally wanted to ask her grandfather for help, but in the end she still didn't, mainly because she was used to being independent, and she wasn't used to letting people help.

"Be careful yourself!" Aunt Li was in tears, she knew that Xin Kun was so tired, and he was not for this family. Have someone bring the soft chair in. Xin Kun saluted his grandfather and Uncle Li before sitting on the soft chair.

Guo Peng hurriedly returned Xiaobao to Aunt Li, and followed with a bun in his mouth.

"Grandpa, Uncle Li, Aunt Li, I'm going to learn something." Xin Yao also stood up, and without waiting for them to speak, she rushed away. When she went out, Xin Yao breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother, is the Wu family crazy?" So dry? ”

"It's not your business." Xin Kun closed his eyes.

"Little prince, don't you say anything?" Xin Yao looked at Guo Peng, who had been silent.

"The person has been caught, all the teeth have been knocked out, and the person has been sent to the palace." Guo Peng said suddenly.

Xin Kun nodded, the corners of his mouth tugged, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Brother, what did you not tell me?" Xin Yao looked at Xin Kun who was nestled in the fur.

"No, just wait and see!" Xin Kun took a while before he said leisurely.

When he arrived at the workshop, Xin Kun gave Guo Peng a new recipe. Guo Peng took off his clothes and went to work, while Xin Kun asked the workers to start baking the boxes. It was baking, and a fire was lit around the box to make the courtyard of the workshop hot and dry.

Those boxes were full of thick sand and lime, compacted. There was a little moisture in it, and after beating it solidly, it was actually as hard as a stone after sitting for so many days. At this time, the four workers start to bake the box and change sides from time to time to let the box be evenly heated. Soon the wax inside turned into water and flowed out of a copper pipe left in the corner of the box.

Xin Yao understood this step, but she didn't expect that Xin Kun would do this step today, she thought that she wouldn't do it until she made it in bronze water.

But she didn't ask Xin Kun, just quietly watched Xin Kun keep comparing the copper sheets made by Guo Peng, and she had already brought out similar materials yesterday. Find similar ones in the formula, and then start to mix completely different, she and Guo Peng don't know how long they have been trying, and finally, she has completely determined the formula.

With the recipe, the copper pipes on the top of the twenty large boxes were opened, and the bronze water was carefully poured into the large hole above by the naked little prince.

The wax water has been released, and what I am most afraid of at this time is that these copper water can go where they should go without any bubbles.

The copper water in the twenty boxes was not easy to fill, and after the twenty boxes were all filled, Xin Kunwo returned to his soft chair wrapped in thick fur. Xin Yao was very clever, and immediately put a leather cloak on her body.

Xin Kun closed his eyes, and seemed to be relieved for a long time. And Guo Peng was so tired that he sat on the threshold and didn't get up for half a day.

"Isn't that right? Big brother, the cadre Mo Xie is not jumping into the fire, and Fang is cast into a sword. I don't read much, don't lie to me? "Xin Yao remembers that the cadres she has seen are not like this!

Xin Kun understood what she meant, whether it was a comic book or a cartoon, it all depicted two swords stuck in the stove, waiting for the two to jump into the fire one after another, and then the two swords jumped out on their own. The one who draws that one must not be able to strike iron. They painted according to their imagination. Because even if it was forging, there was no sword stuck in the furnace.

"You read too little, and the story of the cadre Mo Ye was first published in "Liezi", but it was a story about revenge. Later, in "Wu Yue Chunqiu", a chapter on sword casting was added. The description of this paragraph in the original text is, 'The cadre said: "My master makes metallurgical iron and the like and does not sell it, and the husband and wife both enter the smelting furnace, and then the thing is now the mountain to smelt the hemp and the path is subdued, and then dare to cast gold in the mountain." Now I am the one who does not change the sword, and he is Yaya. Mo Xie said: "The teacher knows that Shuo thinks he is a thing, how difficult it is for me." So he cut off his wife's hair and claws, and threw it into the furnace. And he made three hundred boys and girls drumming with coal, and swords of gold and iron, and they made swords. Originally, the meaning was that Mo Ye, the wife of the cadre, threw her hair and nails into the furnace, and then the molten iron became its own, and then it became a sword. Later people may see the earlier sentence 'husband and wife are in the smelting furnace', so it becomes the later apotheosis story. ”

"Now I know that you're really good at reading. But you still haven't answered my question. "Xin Yao already has mosquito coil eyes.

"When I read the original text and you listen, I will answer you." The cadre cut off his wife's hair and claws and threw it into the furnace. And he made three hundred boys and girls drummed with coal, and swords of gold and iron, and made them into swords! Xin Kun glared at her. But looking at her blank face, she shook her head and sighed, "Translated into the vernacular, Mo Xie cut his hair and nails and threw them into the furnace, and let three hundred boys and girls add charcoal and blow wind in the furnace. The copper and iron in the furnace melted into water, which became a sword. Got it? ”

"That's why it was always called Sword Forging." Xin Yao nodded.

"Yes, casting and forging are two different trades in our blacksmith's craft." Xin Kun nodded and smiled.
