85_85871 "There was a lot of disrespect yesterday, and I still look forward to my predecessor Haihan" Xiao Zheng said with a wry smile

"Hey, hey, it's easy to say!" Heavy drum hehe, Xiao Zheng couldn't help but feel relieved, but the next sentence suddenly made Xiao Zheng fall into the ice cellar, "Go! Ten pieces of thousand wrought iron, when will it be smashed into a piece, when will it call me, remember, the size I only need the current size, if it is so big, it doesn't count!"

"Seniors, juniors don't know how to strike iron" Xiao Zheng reminded himself as he watched the heavy drum clasp his nails, and said in a low and cautious voice

"Hehe~" Chonggu smiled lightly: "Smashing iron is not a technical job, just have the strength, go, it's not too early, there are other things to do after smashing!"

Chonggu didn't listen to Xiao Zheng's quibbles, turned around and disappeared in front of Xiao Zheng, Xiao Zheng looked at the empty street with a bitter face, and had to go inside like resignation

When Xiao Zheng stood by the stove again, the heavy drum was still lying on the stone chair, but there was just a proper hammer on the stove

Picking it up, the little hammer was heavier than crying blood, and it seemed to be tentatively beating the thousand-wrought iron ingots that had been stacked high on his side, and it made a dull sound

"Boom!" Xiao Zheng waved it high and fell hard, and suddenly there was a sound like a drum, he looked at the hammer in front of him curiously, reached out and took the iron ingot on the top, and easily put this legendary thousand-forged iron ingot on the stone furnace, and the stone furnace was already beginning to burst out of the orange flames, the scorching temperature was even higher than Xiao Zheng felt that day, and the temperature was actually rising at a very fast speed, and subconsciously pulled the iron ingot back with his hand, and the thousand wrought iron ingot was already extremely hot

Xiao Zheng smacked his tongue secretly, marveling at the high temperature of the earth's fire, and at the same time, he looked at the trapezoidal iron ingot, which was about the size of a shoe box

"Huh~" A flame suddenly erupted from the furnace, Xiao Zheng immediately used the internal force to exclude the flame, and secretly frowned, so he picked up the iron clip used last time, since this iron clip is used to hold charcoal, then the temperature of this earth fire should still be able to withstand it

Xiao Zheng tentatively put the iron clamp on the flame and roasted it, but there was no change at all, it looked like it was black and like an ordinary clip, and it was not simple to get to Chonglou here

Pick up the iron ingot with a clamp and put it on the two black sticks that have been prepared in the furnace, and the flames that burn straight up will immediately separate the two sides, and the next thing is to wait for the iron ingot to burn red, but half an hour has passed, the iron ingot has not changed at all, the only thing that has changed is that the iron ingot is no longer shiny, but has really become a pitch black piece

This is originally an iron ingot made of thousands of wrought iron, that is, the empire has a large workshop that only produces 100,000 thousand wrought iron every year, and the three empires plus the private system of the wealthy family and the hermit blacksmith add up, and the maximum amount of 100,000 wrought iron is about 400,000 per year, which is enough to see how rare this thousand wrought iron is, and the thousand wrought iron is rare, but it can only be made into this kind of square

Earth fire is rare, especially a stable earth fire mouth is cherished, of course, these are absolute exceptions in the students

When nearly half an hour had passed, Xiao Zheng noticed that the lower part of the thousand wrought iron was a little red

"It's enough to heat it up to this point!" The sound of the heavy drum sounded, but it pointed to Xiao Zheng: "Although the thousand wrought iron has been extremely refined, it has been burned too much by the earth fire, and it will inevitably have some loss!"

"Juniors get it!" Xiao Zheng nodded, and then used a clamp to clamp out the thousand wrought iron pieces on that side, but the weight was much heavier than before

"Ding!"

Xiao Zheng smashed it down, but it was no longer the hammer-like sound before, but it became a little crisp, Xiao Zheng raised his head, but he just happened to see Chonggu looking at himself with a smile, as if he was mocking himself for not doing it

"How can a man not work!" Xiao Zheng smashed down with another hammer, and the heavy drum was gently knocking on the stone chair, staring at Xiao Zheng intently

Xiao Zheng didn't smash it too hard, after all, Xiao Zheng still remembered the way the drum smashed the iron that day, at least there must be a rhythm, Xiao Zheng smashed it one by one, just like the second hand of a clock

"Ding Ding Ding"

Chonggu looked at Xiao Zheng with appreciation, although Xiao Zheng just blindly found a sense of rhythm, but this is a good start, you must know that you were just a stunned young man at the beginning, anyway, it's still early, don't rush~~

Although Xiao Zheng's personality is lazy, he is also a good man with flesh and blood, just like this, about a quarter of an hour passed, Xiao Zheng found that the red color of the iron ingot became much lighter, and the sound was no longer a pure crisp sound, but began to become a little muddy, looked up at the heavy drum, only to see that the heavy drum was still squinting and knocking on the stone chair to pretend to sleep, thinking about the heavy drum just now, Xiao Zheng put the iron ingot on the two sticks at the mouth of the furnace again to warm it, this time naturally it didn't take so long, Another quarter of an hour passed, and Xiao Zheng found that it was almost the same as just now, and then he took it out and continued to beat

In this way, Xiao Zheng heated up for half an hour, beat for half a quarter of an hour, an hour passed, it was already close to noon, and at this time, Xiao Zheng found that the iron ingot in front of him had not changed much, and grinned helplessly, Xiao Zheng compared an iron ingot that had not been moved too much with the iron ingot that he had beaten for nearly an hour, and there were still changes, but this change was only a trace in Xiao Zheng's eyes, at best, it was only two or three millimeters, and he had struggled for so long a day, not even half of a centimeter, It seems that he has indeed been punished

How could Xiao Zheng accept his fate, but he suddenly remembered that this iron ingot was obviously red when he smashed the iron yesterday, but Xiao Zheng had tried it just now, this iron ingot really can't be heated for too long, otherwise the temperature below is too high, but it will go to the purpose of forging and refining, and it is possible to lose one accidentally

"It seems that this is the only way!" Xiao Zheng flipped the iron ingot, and put the iron ingot that had not been heated on it to increase the temperature, until the iron ingot on it was much darker red due to heat dissipation, Xiao Zheng quickly clamped it out and began to beat, and this hammer went down, the sound was much clearer

Xiao Zheng's eyes lit up, sure enough, the iron ingot was still heated evenly, as long as he controlled the redness just now, and it was not too high, although this method was stupid, but the change of the iron ingot was real, and more than half an hour passed, the iron ingot was finally reduced to half of a centimeter, and the most important thing was that the time was reduced because of this, but soon Xiao Zheng couldn't be happy

Looking at the iron ingot in front of him, which had actually shrunk, Xiao Zheng was very helpless, a thing the size of a shoe box, shrunk so much to less than a centimeter thick, is it a lot?

It was close to noon, and the fire began to grow smaller, and the flames that had been gushing back down, and condensed coal began to appear on the walls of the furnace

"How's it going!" Chonggu walked to Xiao Zheng's side and said in a flat tone, as if he didn't see the iron ingot standing there

Xiao Zheng knew that the heavy drum was deliberate, but he had already suffered yesterday, and today he said that it would be unwise to say that he would not do anything, put down the hammer, and said respectfully: "I hope that the seniors will forgive the sins, the juniors have failed to complete the tasks you have assigned!"

"Not done?" Chonggu's tone became heavier, and then he smiled: "It's okay, it's just your task for half a month during this time, as long as you complete it before then!" The heavy drum slapped Xiao Zheng's shoulder, pushed Xiao Zheng and walked out, but Xiao Zheng didn't even have the strength to resist

Xiao Zheng let the heavy drum push, although half a month is not short, but it is not so easy for this task, and in the next sentence, Xiao Zheng suddenly felt that the time was tighter

"This earth fire is only at its peak when it reaches the end of the day, so don't think about it at other times!" Heavy drumming pushed Xiao Zheng out of the door of the blacksmith shop, clasped his arms with both hands, pointed his finger to the front, and said: "From today onwards, you come to me every morning and go to the front in the afternoon to complete the task of another senior, but don't blame the senior for not reminding you of this junior, that one is not so easy to talk to!"

"And one more?!" Xiao Zheng's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but look ahead, there were still two households in front, could it be that "senior, will there be a third place at that time?"

"Third?" Chonggu looked at Xiao Zheng and said, "No, inside the last door is the residence of one of your seniors!"

"Senior?" Xiao Zheng asked suspiciously

"That's right, it's only with the dean's special approval!" After answering Xiao Zheng's words impatiently, Chonggu waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's go, the first day of meeting, it won't be so easy!"

Chong Gu couldn't help but walk back to the blacksmith shop, and actually closed the door casually, although Xiao Zheng was puzzled, he couldn't help but get nervous, his feet moved slowly, and his expression was extremely dignified!
