This meal was eaten until the moon hung high in the sky, and when the bill was checked, Yang Ning still pulled the corners of his mouth painfully. In just one meal, he ate two silver coins, which was equivalent to a month's wages he earned.

With an income of ten gold coins, there is no need to go up the mountain to hunt for meat for the time being. For the next five consecutive days, Yang Ning was a --- blacksmith shop --- home, two points and one line. At least five hours a day in the blacksmith shop to build farm tools, Zhang Zheng's farm tool orders are all completed.

"Brother Ning, I want to ask you for a favor. Which of the guests who came to me to customize weapons came to urge me yesterday and asked me to deliver the goods within three days, and the time was relatively tight. Moreover, this guest has very high requirements for the appearance of weapons, I want you to help me build one of the weapons, the rules are still the same, what do you think? ”

One evening, Zhang Zheng called Yang Ning, who was about to call it a day and go home, and asked him to help make the customer's order.

Zhang Zheng usually completes this kind of order for building weapons by himself, and rarely hands it over to the other two blacksmiths to build. Because the price of crafting weapons is relatively expensive, the cheapest one costs ten gold coins, and the blacksmith charges a commission of 10% of the price for each weapon he builds. With such a high commission, Zhang Zheng is reluctant to pay others, almost every time he does it all, unless the time is really tight, he will hand over one or two to Yang Ning to build.

"Okay, no problem. I'll come over tomorrow to help you build it. ”

Yang Ning, who was familiar with Zhang Zheng's temperament, smiled at him and agreed.

In fact, Yang Ning has also built a lot of weapons over the years, and the technology and quality are no worse than Zhang Zheng, and even more perfect than Zhang Zheng in appearance. And Xiao Quan's skills are slightly worse, those guests who have slightly higher requirements, and the weapons customized, Zhang Zheng does not dare to let him help.

"The guest who ordered the weapon requested: The sword is three feet and one inch long, weighs four catties and seven taels, and this piece of tungsten iron weighs six catties and eight taels, and the weight is just right to make this customized sword, and it's up to you next, Brother Ning."

The tungsten iron concentrate obtained by Yang Ning on Nanfeng Mountain weighed 66 catties after being refined by Zhang Zheng, and was divided into eight pieces of different weights, and after weighing them respectively, Zhang Zheng picked up one of the pieces of ferro-tungsten about the size of a bowl and handed it to Yang Ning.

Ferro-tungsten is not only heavier than ordinary ores of the same volume to make agricultural tools, but it also requires much higher temperatures and takes more time to calcination.

This time, the weapons ordered by the guests were a sword, a sword, and an axe, and Yang Ning was responsible for forging the sword. Zhang Zheng and each of him put a piece of ferrotungsten of suitable weight into the furnace for calcination, and when it was burned to some soften, he picked it up, waved the hammer in his hand and vigorously hammered the fine iron that had been burned to red.

"Ding, Ding, Ding......"

The red ferro-tungsten was deformed a little bit under Yang Ning's hammer, the ferro-tungsten was very hard, and every time the hammer went down, there was only a shallow circular hammer mark.

Three hours passed, and after nine times of repeated forging, the impurities of the bowl of ferro-tungsten were forged, and slowly began to change shape from an irregular block, and gradually changed to a long strip.

"Little day, heat up the fire!"

After some forging, the temperature gradually dropped to room temperature, Yang Ning raised his hand, put the existing part of the shape of ferro-tungsten into the furnace again, and ordered Hua Xiaotian, who was burning the fire, to burn it fiercely.

"Got it, Master Ning."

'Whew, Whew...... Hua Xiaotian added several pieces of arm-thick charcoal to the stove, and pulled up the wind drum by the stove, and a scorching flame suddenly rose in the furnace, burning the ferro-tungsten put back into the furnace.

"Okay, stop!"

Ferro-tungsten was burned to red again, and vaguely saw that the surface was about to soften and wriggle like liquid, Yang Ning shouted to stop Hua Xiaotian's blow, stretched out the fire tongs and picked up the tungsten iron and put it on the forging platform, and swung the hammer to forge again.

"Ding, Ding, Ding......"

"Wow"

Another two hours passed, and a long red strip-shaped utensil in the shape of a sword was picked up by Yang Ning from the forging platform and put into a small pool filled with icy liquid next to it, emitting bursts of green smoke.

After the utensils were completely cooled, Yang Ning reached out and pulled out the utensils in the small pool. It was a three-foot sword with a cold light, and I saw a cold rainbow light rising from the sword body, faintly giving people a cold chill.

The sword is bright silver, the sword is two and a half fingers wide, the blade is thin and sharp, and the spine is about two points high, forming a smooth and sharp tip; The jaw of the sword is slightly curved like a bull's horn, which can lock people's weapons; The hilt of the sword is five inches, just the palm of the hand is clenched; Gripping the sword tightly, his wrist flicked slightly, and the sound of a dragon's groan sounded on the sword body.

Walking out of the courtyard, Yang Ning came to the yard with a sword in his hand and put a thick test wood in the yard, and with a wave of luck, 'whoosh', the sword in his hand was like a stream of autumn water cutting across the giant tree.

It was just this simple swing that made Yang Ning gasp, and the sword actually split the test wood without hindrance. Such a sharp toilet has never been seen in any weapon ever built before.

Then, with a trace of doubt in his heart, he once again found a piece of iron used to make agricultural tools and swung his sword and slashed it, and found that the sword had split the iron in two like cutting tofu, and the cut was very smooth, and then he realized that he had made a sword with tungsten iron concentrate to sharpen iron like clay.

"Brother Zhang! Check it out! The weapon made of this tungsten iron is extraordinary, cutting iron is like cutting tofu, it is really sharpening iron like mud! ”

Holding the sword in his hand, Yang Ning excitedly yelled at Zhang Zheng, who was still swinging the hammer.

"What? Cut tofu? Sharpen iron like clay? ”

Hearing Yang Ning's roar, Zhang Zheng threw down the hammer in his hand, turned around and rushed towards Yang Ning. One snatched the sword from Yang Ning's hand and carefully compared it with the test wood and iron.

"It's a loss. It's a big loss. No way! This sword must not be sold so easily! Gotta stay to be the treasure of the town store! ”

Zhang Zheng muttered to himself a little frustratedly. Suddenly, he turned around suddenly, his eyes shot a breathtaking essence, he bowed to Yang Ning, and said with a serious expression:

"Brother Ning! Brother has one thing to ask you here, this sword will be converted into a purchase price of 150 gold coins to calculate twice the commission for you to build, you will help me build a new sword from fine iron overnight tonight, and the commission will still be doubled, okay? ”

"Brother Zhang, what are you talking about. Isn't it just to build one more weapon? What's so difficult about this, I also know that you have always taken good care of my two fathers and sons, and I won't say much if you are hypocritical, I will accept the commission for this tungsten iron sword, but the sword made of fine iron will be given to me according to the normal commission. However, I have to go back home and cook the food for An'er before I come back to work. ”

Yang Ning also knew what a weapon that sharpened iron like clay represented for a blacksmith shop, and he didn't pretend to Zhang Zheng, and generously said that he would come back after going home and having dinner.

The price of a weapon made of fine iron generally fluctuates around twenty to thirty gold coins, and if it is beautifully crafted and gorgeous, the price can be doubled; However, if you create a good weapon that can sharpen iron like clay, then the price is at least ten times that of an ordinary fine iron weapon, and in a remote small town like Nanyuan Town, even if you want to buy it, you may not be able to buy it with money.

"Good. That's it! Delu and Xiaotian, you two will work harder tonight, and this month's salary will be doubled. ”

Zhang Zheng didn't treat the two guys who were in charge of the fire badly, and he was in a very good mood, so he directly gave him two additional month's wages as a reward.

"Thank you, Brother Zhang!"

Hearing Zhang Zheng's words, the two immediately thanked their boss excitedly.

An hour later, Zhang Zheng also created an axe weapon, and after testing, it was found that it also had the effect of sharpening iron like clay, but the forging process was not as exquisite as Yang Ning's.

Only then did I feel that the ferro-tungsten brought back by Yang Ning was extraordinary, and the remaining pieces of ferro-tungsten, Zhang Zheng hurriedly hid them like a baby in his heart, and swore that he would never use them unless necessary.
