Chapter 499: Digging the Cellar (2)
Zhang Xiaoxue looked left and right, and saw that there were no outsiders in the yard except for slaves and his own family, so Zhang Xiaoxue directly took out all the 15 iron ore accumulated in the warehouse of the miner's hut with his mind.
Fifteen iron ores were put together, accounting for a large pile, and Zhang Xiaoxue took out the set of iron-striking tools in the space ring with his mind and placed them next to the iron ore.
The slaves didn't know what they thought, and when Father Zhang next to him saw Zhang Xiaoxue and took out such a large pile of iron ore with a wave of his hand, he was a little dumbfounded.
He really didn't expect that his daughter took out some beautiful stone mines a few days ago, and when they asked, Zhang Xiaoxue explained that her master had some mines over there, and there were special people digging ore in them, and she could exchange them for points, and now she even has iron ore.
And the iron ore that my daughter took out was also very special, it turned out to be a boxy cube, as if it had been carefully processed, and it was not at all the same as the iron ore of different sizes and unevenness that I usually saw in the blacksmith shop.
In Zhang's father's cognition, he felt that even the stones used by the immortals were so different, and they looked more high-end than the stones on the mountain.
Looking at the swarthy iron ore, Father Zhang couldn't help but step forward to touch it, and the cold touch was transmitted to his hand, making Father Zhang feel more real.
The slaves who went to look for Da Tie came back, and they were also very surprised to see the iron ore taken out by Zhang Xiaoxue.
After Da Tie, Ertie, and Santie stepped forward to see Zhang's father and Zhang Xiaoxue, they heard Zhang Xiaoxue say the purpose of calling the three of them over, which made these three people excited, and it was time for the master to finally use their skills.
The trio stepped forward to inspect the iron ore.
"The purity of this iron ore is really high!"
"yes, I've never seen iron ore of this high purity, as if it has been refined. ”
"It's so exciting to have such a high-purity iron ore to make things. ”
The three of them surrounded this pile of iron ore, and after carefully inspecting it, they were all amazed, the purity of these iron ores was too high, and there were no impurities visible to the naked eye, and the three of them couldn't help but praise the pile of iron ore.
"Master, with such a high-purity iron ore, making things is twice the result with half the effort, we will definitely make the tools you want as soon as possible." ”
"Well, don't do the work in the field yet, just leave it to the others, and your main thing now is to get the tools out as quickly as possible, and put them into digging the cellar as soon as possible.
Now there is only one set of iron-making tools, and the three of you will use them in rotation first, and I will get the other two sets of iron-making tools back for you as soon as possible. ”
"Master, please rest assured, there is such a good iron ore for us to use, we will definitely make the tools as soon as possible. ”
This really responds to the sentence: if the insider looks at the doorway, and the layman looks at the excitement, Zhang's father and Zhang Xiaoxue don't know how to make iron, so they only see that the appearance of these iron ores is a little different, and the three of them who can make iron tools are the high purity of iron ore.
Because of the sound of striking iron, the tinkling noise was very loud, and finally the place where the iron was struck was selected and moved to the front of the courtyard where the slaves lived.
Of course, this iron ore is only 50×50cm in volume, and each one is very heavy, even if it is a man's labor, their strength is not enough to carry it easily.
Therefore, after Zhang Xiaoxue received all these things into the space ring, she personally went to the selected iron-striking location to take them out again.
The big iron, the second iron, and the third iron did not delay their efforts, they got together and discussed it for a while, and directly dealt with the division of iron tools, and began to prepare the tools needed to dig the cellar for Zhang Xiaoxue.
And Tian Sixteen, who stayed at home, asked Zhang's father for a pen and paper according to the cellar model that Zhang Xiaoxue wanted, and drew a sketch first.
After Zhang's father and Zhang Xiaoxue read the sketch he drew and were satisfied with Tian Sixteen's explanation, they decided to put the exit of the cellar in a corner of the firewood shed.
The exit of the cellar, placed in such an inconspicuous place, is still Tian Sixteen's suggestion.
According to Tian Sixteen, it is better to keep the cellar hidden, so that even if there are some valuable items in it, there is no fear of being stolen.
Especially if there are robbers who come to invade the village, or when there is a war, there is no fear that the grain placed in it will be robbed by someone and something like that.
After Zhang Xiaoxue listened to what Tian Sixteen said, her scalp couldn't help but tighten, and she was very worried that these things would really happen around her.
"Dad, have there been any robbers in our village?"
"It hasn't happened in the past few decades, but I heard your grandfather say that when he was young, there were indeed robbers in our village who came to steal money and food.
At that time, not only our village, but also several other nearby villages were visited by robbers, and that year happened to be a disaster year, and after the drought, it rained for many days, causing the river to flood and flood, and the crops planted in the fields were basically lost.
The people in the village didn't have much food to store, and it was good to be able to eat wild vegetables at that time, and some people even ate tree bark.
Not to mention the existence of surplus food, everyone lives a life of eating this meal without a meal, even if there was a little money at home, they all changed the food early and ate it to the stomach.
Therefore, even if the robbers come, there is nothing of value that can be robbed.
However, when they heard that the robbers did not get anything good, they were very dissatisfied, and they wanted to kill people to vent their anger, but because the villagers got together and resisted stubbornly, and the robbers felt that they could not make a profit, so they withdrew.
Even if the robbers left, in addition to the few weak people who starved to death in this disaster, the villagers were also injured by the robbers this time and had no money for treatment, so several more people died. ”
Hearing what Zhang's father said, Zhang Xiaoxue was silent for a while, but she was thinking in her mind, it seems that in a disaster year, in addition to storing enough food, you must also beware of robbers.
"Dad, since there may be some dangers that we can't imagine in the disaster year, I think it's better to change the cellar dug this time.
I think so, anyway, Tian Sixteen will also build an underground secret room, so he might as well let him dig underground like an underground secret room, in addition to concealment performance, there are also waterproof, fireproof, and can make people survive in it.
In this way, not only can you store items underground, but you can also survive inside, and if the bad things that Dad just said really happen, you can also let people temporarily hide in it to avoid trouble. ”
