At this time, Yi Chen had long lost his former liveliness, and he bowed respectfully to the dwarf king, and then retreated to the side. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The Dwarf King walked over to Fang Ruitao and entered, his big rough hand clasped tightly with Fang Ruitao's right hand. "I've been looking forward to seeing His Majesty the Dwarven King for a long time, but I've always been out on business, and I haven't seen him until today. Fang Ruitao greeted the burly dwarf king with a smile, although the dwarf king was nearly thirty centimeters lower than him, his burly degree was able to fit two Fang Ruitao.

The Dwarf King shook his head and said, "Actually, I'm also anxious to see Lord Fang, but I haven't had a chance." This time, I came here to discuss with Yi Chen and ask him to introduce me. It turned out to be such a coincidence, and we saw it here, and we really had a fate. ”

Fang Ruitao stretched out his hand towards the city and said, "Let's go to the city to talk, everyone is tired, go to the city to rest and eat something." ”

"Very good, very good, everybody, follow, we are in town. The dwarf king shouted, and Fang Ruitao only felt a thunderbolt ringing in his ears, which shook his head a little. The dwarves were obviously used to it, and they didn't feel any discomfort, they all picked up their belongings with their usual faces and walked in line towards the city.

Looking at the dwarves lining up to enter the city, Fang Ruitao was curious to find that each dwarf was holding an iron hammer in his right hand, and his left hand was holding a large cloth bag on his back on the ship. Fang Ruitao asked Yi Chen next to him in a low voice: "Why are your clansmen dressed like this, what do they put in their bags?"

Yi Chen looked at his compatriots and immediately smiled: "You said that the cloth bag they carried, hehe." Our dwarven ancestors were obsessed with crafting, so they always carried their own crafting tools with them, and you can see that they had a hammer in their right hand, and this hammer was used as a weapon when it worked, and it was used as a weapon when it was fighting. As for the sack, in addition to an anvil, there were also works they thought they were most proud of, and these things they never left them. ”

Fang Ruitao suddenly realized, he couldn't imagine that the dwarves were obsessed with building to such an extent, and they even carried tools with them. The dwarf king on the side heard the conversation between Fang Ruitao and the two, and he immediately smiled and said: "We dwarves only have two hobbies in our lives, that is, crafting and drinking, as long as we can have the best spirits and the most exquisite crafting techniques, we have nothing else to ask for." ”

As he spoke, the Dwarf King approached Fang Ruitao and whispered, "As for this best liquor, the one that Lord Fang gave me last time is really the only good wine I have ever seen in my life." It's a pity that it's just a few catties in such a small jar, which is really not enjoyable. ”

Fang Ruitao heard it strangely, he had sent a lot of wine to the dwarf king, how could he hear that it seemed to be only a little bit, he glanced at Yi Chen, who was lowering his head and didn't dare to look at him, and immediately realized. It is estimated that Yichen and the others were too hungry for alcohol, so they deducted the wine given to the dwarf king, and they drank it privately, so the dwarf king did not get much spirits.

For this dwarf friend, Fang Ruitao naturally did not want to expose him. After all, Yi Chen was the first dwarven friend he knew, and it was he who tried his best to promote his cooperation with the dwarves, so he could bring the Xingchen Soldier Building Hall to Shouyang Province. During this period of time, Yichen's blacksmith shop has given great support to the territory, which Fang Ruitao is quite grateful.

"I prepared too hastily last time, so there weren't many of them, but this time I brought a lot, enough for His Majesty the Dwarven King to drink. Fang Ruitao smiled and covered for Yichen.

Yi Chen lowered his head and pricked up his ears to listen, but he heard that Fang Ruitao didn't poke out his mess at all, and secretly raised his head, Yi Chen glanced at Fang Ruitao, but found that the other party was looking at him with a smile on his face. Yichen immediately came to his senses, this was Fang Ruitao covering up for him. Moved in his heart, Yi Chen secretly swore that he would treat Fang Ruitao as his dearest brother in the future, not just a friend.

Since he came to the big house in the center of the city, this is the center of the whole city, and it is also the best house, and Fang Ruitao lived here yesterday. Letting the dwarf king into the house, Fang Ruitao waved his hand and took out dozens of jars of the spirits he brought this time, and they were all fifty catties of big jars.

Looking at the wine jars all over the ground, the dwarven king's eyes sparkled, and he knew that this must be the kind of very strong wine. Sure enough, Fang Ruitao pointed to the wine jar and said with a smile: "These are all that kind of spirits, I came to the Industrial City this time, and I felt that Brother Yichen worked hard, so I deliberately brought it to him." Since His Majesty the Dwarven King is also here, let His Majesty distribute it. Fang Ruitao deliberately said this so that the dwarf king could sell Yichen a favor and take more care of him in the future. As for Fang Ruitao's meaning, Yi Chen couldn't hear it, although he handed over all the wine to the dwarf king for safekeeping, which made him feel a little painful, but he was still very grateful for the other party's kindness.

The dwarf king cleared his throat and said, "In that case, I will take it first, and wait until the evening when all the dwarves are equally distributed, and everyone will have a taste." At this moment, a man wearing a steel factory uniform walked in, bowed to Fang Ruitao and said, "Lord Lord, the coke has been smelted, I don't know when we will start making steel."

Fang Ruitao nodded and said, "Start immediately, I'll be there in a while." You do the preparation work first, first crush and screen the ore, and put the coke in the blast furnace to prepare for smelting. ”

"Yes, my lord. The man hurried away, and the dwarf king heard the conversation between the two and asked, "Could it be that the lord is preparing to make steel?"

Fang Ruitao nodded and said, "Yes, try a new method of steelmaking." ”

Yi Chen on the side added: "Your Majesty's new method is not trivial, according to Brother Fang, the speed of steelmaking with this method can be increased by more than a hundred times. ”

"So many," the Dwarven King was taken aback, and then he asked, "Can I take a tour?"

Fang Ruitao smiled: "Of course, even if Your Majesty doesn't say it, I will send out an invitation." Your Majesty can take a look, and perhaps we can cooperate more deeply. ”

Crafting and spirits are two of the dwarves' two hobbies, and I heard that there are new steelmaking methods that can speed up a hundred times, and the dwarven king certainly won't miss it. Without Fang Ruitao's invitation, he was already so anxious that he was urging him to leave, and he even forgot about the wine just now.

Fang Ruitao and the dwarf king, Yi Chen and others quickly came to the steel mill with their escort entourage, at this time the workers were using steel mills to crush ore under the command of several half-old children for screening, and when they saw Fang Ruitao coming, many workers stopped their work and saluted him.

Fang Ruitao waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be polite, just keep working." Then he turned to the leader of the group of children, Agiri, and said, "Agiri, how is the furnace?"
