Chapter 4 Ores
"Humph! I don't believe I can't move you! ”
Yang Ning's anger came up, he hugged the stone tightly with both hands, and lifted it up violently.
"Huh? Why does the stone seem to be lighter than it was just now? It's weird. ”
At the mention of such capacity, Yang Ning felt that the stones had become lighter than just now. However, even if it became lighter, the weight of the black stone was two hundred pounds. After several years of iron-striking career, Yang Ning's strength has also grown a little, and it took some effort to finally put the stone into the back carrot.
"Today's harvest is really a lot, not only did I catch three fat rabbits, but I also accidentally got an unknown piece of ore, judging by its weight, it is enough to exchange for six silver coins, which is worth three months' wages."
"Alright, it's time to go back. It's been two or three hours since she came out, and An'er is probably hungry at home. Hehe......"
After packing up his things, Yang Ning's eyes swept over the empty rabbit nest, looked up at the sun that was gradually sinking in the west, and the appearance of his son's pheasant appeared in front of him, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently turned up, revealing a slightly bitter smile.
Since the middle of the family and the premature death of his beloved wife, Yang Ning has hardly laughed anymore. The son became a child who lost his mother's love at a young age, which became one of Yang Ning's biggest knots.
Over the years, as his son has grown up and become more sensible, Yang Ning's heart knot has been alleviated, and only when he thinks of his son will a smile appear on his face.
Thinking of his son at home in front of the cooked rice, anxiously waiting for him to come home, Yang Ning felt that the things weighing more than 100 catties on his back were not too heavy, and he hurried home briskly in the afterglow of the sunset.
"An'er, good luck today! What a bumper harvest! When I came across a rabbit nest, I caught three of them at once, and tonight we father and son can have a good meal of braised rabbit meat. Haha......"
In a good mood, it only took half an hour for Yang Ning to come down from Nanfeng Mountain, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he shouted at the house for today's results.
"Dad is amazing! The rice has already been cooked, just waiting for your game. ”
A crisp child's voice rang out in the hut.
It didn't take long for a large plate of steaming braised rabbit meat to be placed on the table, and the two fathers and sons, you and I, had a hearty meal.
Meimei slept well, and early the next morning, Yang Ning came to Zhang Zheng's blacksmith shop with the black stone that was unexpectedly harvested from Nanfeng Mountain yesterday.
"Brother Zhang, morning! Everyone, good morning! Hehe......"
As soon as he entered the door, Yang Ning greeted everyone who had arrived earlier than him and was busy preparing to start the fire with a loud smile.
"Master Yang is early!"
Everyone responded, and continued to work on their own work.
"Ruohe, I'm in such a good mood today, and I'm smiling as soon as I walk in the door. Found a treasure in the mountains yesterday? ”
Seeing Yang Ning's rare happy look, Zhang Zheng couldn't help but joke with him.
"Hehe, Brother Zhang, I really let you tell you right, I really picked up the treasure on Nanfeng Mountain yesterday. You see, it's not small. ”
After speaking, with a 'bang', Yang Ning's backhand was put on the ground by the heavy back behind him.
"Oh, I'll take a look."
Hearing the dull sound of the back dill when it landed, Zhang Zheng judged that the entire back dill should be an ore in the whole back distiller, and reached out from the tool rack to scold a sharp cone-like iron tool and walked in front of the back diel.
'Huh? This black ore, under closer inspection, has a trace of luster flowing on the surface of the stone, which does not look like ordinary ore, but a bit like concentrated ore. ’
Zhang Zheng knocked twice on the stone with an iron cone, making a crisp sound of 'ding ding', and when he looked closely, he found that the stone still had an inconspicuous flow of brilliance.
"Brother Ning, this ore is not an ordinary ore, with my years of experience, I think this is a piece of tungsten iron concentrate, which is an excellent material for building high-grade weapons, I just tried its weight, and after refining, it can be used to create 5 weapons, and it is estimated that this ore is worth ten gold coins."
After a closer look, Zhang Zheng said confidently to Yang Ning.
For this ore, Zhang Zheng didn't say right, it is true that the black stone is a tungsten iron concentrate, but it is not an ordinary tungsten iron concentrate, but a concentrate with a thousand years of age, if it is obtained by those monks, it can be used to refine magic weapons. It's just that the spiritual power contained in the concentrate was sucked away by the lumps in Yang Ning's dantian, and it looked like an ordinary tungsten iron concentrate, but it appeared in the rabbit nest for some reason.
Magic Weapon: It is a weapon that can be used by monks who can sense the vitality of heaven and earth, and can absorb and transform it into mana through cultivation. Not only is it countless times sharper than ordinary weapons, but when the monk is infused with mana to drive, it can also burst out with all kinds of extremely powerful strange energy.
Because ordinary weapons can't withstand mana infusion, and ordinary minerals can't refine magic weapons, the materials that can refine magic weapons all contain aura, which are many times more valuable than ordinary minerals.
It's a pity that Zhang Zheng and Yang Ning have never seen the materials for refining magic weapons, and they don't know that the black stone in front of them is a precious material that can be used to refine magic weapons before it falls into Yang Ning's hands.
"What? Ten gold coins? Brother Zhang, what you said is true? ”
Yang Ning was taken aback by Zhang Zheng's estimate, which was more than a hundred times higher than his own estimate.
"Of course it's true, I'll buy this ore from you for ten gold coins. However, I can't pay you all the gold coins at once, I will pay you in two months, and now I will pay you five gold coins first, what do you think? ”
In addition to striking iron, Zhang Zheng's blacksmith shop also buys some mineral materials. However, ten gold coins is a huge amount of money for everyone in the blacksmith shop, and it just so happened that he took the order to build weapons and received part of the deposit, so he had the confidence to dare to say this to Yang Ning. Now that we have this ore, we don't have to look for materials to make it.
"Okay, no problem. Brother Zhang's personality, can't I still believe it? ”
The sudden happiness made Yang Ning a little blind, but he quickly agreed to Zhang Zheng's request.
"Congratulations to Master Yang for making a fortune!"
"Congratulations to Master Yang for making a fortune!"
Xiao Quan, another blacksmith in the blacksmith shop, and three fellows, Zhang Delu, Hua Xiaotian, and He Laifu, all came over to congratulate Yang Ning in unison at this time, and their eyes all showed envy.
"Haha...... Thank you brothers for your congratulations, and I invite you to have a good meal tonight at the 'Sanhe Building'. ”
Yang Ning, who was in a good mood, shouted at everyone.
I don't know if I knew that there would be a big meal to eat tonight, everyone in the blacksmith shop was in full swing and full of energy, the sound of ping-pong iron did not stop all day, and the number of farm tools made was more than usual.
When Yang Ning went home to pick up Yang An out for dinner, Yang An looked at the five glittering gold coins, and his eyes were about to be shook.
The 'Sanhelou' was only five miles away from Zhang Zheng's blacksmith shop, and when the two fathers and sons arrived, Zhang Zheng and the five of them were already waiting inside.
After taking a sip of tea, Yang An asked the restaurant guy to order a number of dishes. It didn't take long for plates of fragrant dishes to be put on the table.
'Steamed Guiyu', 'Braised Elbow', 'Sauce Plate Chicken', 'Stir-fried Beef with Green Onions', 'Three Fresh Braised Prawns'......
Everyone in the blacksmith shop had their mouths full of grease and sizzle at this feast. Yang An ate almost his tongue into his stomach, this was the most sumptuous meal he had eaten since he was born and in the eight years since he came to this world, and it was also the most expensive meal he had eaten so far.
