Chapter 208: The Hardships of Boiling Through the Thousand-Year-Old Fragrant Wood
According to the instructions on the "Alchemy of All Things", the thousand-year-old fragrant wood must be boiled thoroughly, and the pith juice in it must penetrate into the surrounding dry branches, and then judge whether to go or stay according to the color, that is, take its essence and discard the dross.
Xiong Mo just started the work in his hands, and before three or five minutes later, he felt a wave of heat rushing up, and he couldn't suppress it, which was a bit unusual! He looked down and glanced at it carefully, this charcoal fire was too much, right? It was more than twice as much as the one used in the past, and it was a violent thing! It was also a lot of money!
The immediate priority was to take off the sweat-soaked vest, which was so uncomfortable that he took a second or two of free time to take off the broken thing and throw it on a small table.
Then he wiped the sweat on his cheeks with his shoulder and said: "Luo Chen, why did you make such a big fire?" It stands to reason that our forging and casting skills are similar, if I would definitely not do this, you are stupid today? Afraid of accidents if you make such a big deal? It is filled with a thousand-year-old fragrant wood, in case there are three long and two short, wouldn't it be a waste of a big expense?"
Luo Chen squinted his eyes and said, "Boss Xiong, haven't you cooked thousand-year-old fragrant wood?"
Xiong Mo pulled the charcoal fire inside a little out, and then coughed twice and said: "The thousand-year-old fragrant wood has made molds for others, and I have not participated in the processing technology and carving behind, but I have not cooked it, and I don't know what strange ways it contains." ”
"You don't know this, do you? I just heard you say that it's not a big idiot to use thousand-year-old fragrant wood as a mold? How abnormal is this collecting habit? The essence of thousand-year-old fragrant wood is in its pith juice, and you don't need to put good things and process it into a mold? You're afraid you want to laugh at me to death. Luo Chen couldn't help laughing out loud, but suddenly choked on a puff of black smoke, and the guy coughed so badly, as if he was in the advanced stage of lung cancer.
"Hahaha, let your kid laugh at me, now you feel better, right? Let you laugh at me for being short-sighted, this is the good reincarnation of the way of heaven. Xiong Mo laughed on the side.
Luo Chen is not to be outdone, even if he can die uncomfortably now, he will have a poisonous tongue! Otherwise, he will not be called Luo Chen!
"Some women have long hair and short insight, but you have short hair and short insight. ”
One sentence choked Xiong Mo to death, and he couldn't think of the words to pick it up for a long time, and then the fire gradually increased, and the two of them didn't have the leisure time to ridicule each other, so they all concentrated on controlling the fire, and their movements and demeanor were called serious and delicate.
After a long time, suddenly one of them walked into this hut, and was just about to speak, but was persuaded by a strong heat, and the guy was so frightened that he almost tripped on a stone.
Xiong Mo heard the movement here, squinted his eyes and stretched his neck and shouted, "What's the matter? The heat inside the house is a little big, so it's okay for you to stand outside and talk." ”
The man shouted, "Brother Xiong, we have a guest today! It seems that it is still a big business, and we have finally opened it!"
Xiong Mo muttered for a few seconds after hearing this, and then said to Luo Chen: "Luo Chen, why do you want to do it today? We didn't borrow business a few days ago, but today a Bodhisattva has a kind heart and a big customer has come, what should I do? One side is a brother and the other side is business, I am in a dilemma." ”
Why is this person so good at finding time to drop the chain at a critical time? He won't find a suitable one? I really want to give him two knives when the thousand-year-old fragrant wood is about to be completed.
He sighed helplessly, and then waved his hand to signal Xiong Mo to leave.
"You go and call Ling Jisong over, and by the way, pick two brothers who can do it to help Ling Jisong take care of the mess. Xiong Mo shouted outside the door of the house, and took his big vest by the way.
It's better for me to control the heat for a while, he will probably waste half a day if he delays, so it's better to let Ling Jisong and me partner at the beginning, and make fun of it. But if you are a guest, how can you disturb other people's business because of yourself? If you think about it carefully, it is not common sense, even if you are old and confused, you still have to keep in mind the sophistication of human feelings.
Let's complain and complain, and it is not enough to reach the point of complaining, or think about the bronze steel, it is a big difficulty when pouring.
Just as he was in reverie, Ling Jisong ran over in a hurry, and it was not difficult to guess from his eyebrows that this guy was now a million reluctant to enter here, frowning and sweating on his forehead, he couldn't think of the Confucian appearance at all.
Ling Jisong, who was a majestic and heroic lupine scarf, was completely cool, but now he looks like a ruffian at first glance. Actually, let's be honest, Ling Jisong is bare-chested and a thief, looking at it like a dog-headed military advisor, he can barely catch his eyes when he dresses up, and now he ...... He didn't want to look at it, and that chest hair hadn't been cleaned up for days......
"How is the matter of bronze steel?To be honest, how many catties did you lose me?" Luo Chen didn't even raise his eyelids, and asked bluntly.
Ling Jisong was also unequivocal, standing in the opposite position of Luo Chen, and hurriedly added some charcoal fire to it, and then replied: "It's probably only about a catty, this time my forging and casting skills have been greatly improved, basically I won't make those low-level mistakes again, don't worry, there will be no problems at all." ”
Luo Chen was just about to scold him, there were only a few catties of bronze steel, and he could waste a pound of big treasure, he was also a red rabbit among Lu Bu and Ma in the people, if he didn't give them a big mouth, he didn't know how thick the sky was, right?
But after thinking about it, I felt that it was not appropriate, so it was better to say that Ling Jisong was also a beginner, and when we first learned it, we also messed up the golden hammer. Isn't it a little chilling that he is trying so hard to help himself now, and if he doesn't work out again?
So Hu Luochen sighed, picked up the bamboo fan and began to fan the wind, he had to put the tongue of fire up! If he continued to toss like this, the thousand-year-old fragrant wood could still resist it, and he couldn't bear it, this was more tiring than pretending to be forced and fighting, and the hard work was not ordinary.
Suddenly, a drop of sweat flowed into Luo Chen's left eye, and a pig-like cry suddenly sounded all around, the sound was so loud that it was about to overturn the whole room, and the feeling of stinging was mixed with hot pain, it was really unbearable!
As the bead of his left eye kept rolling, the effect of that drop of sweat was vividly exerted, and it was more than ten times more painful than before! Bit got up in the middle of the night with leg cramps and felt uncomfortable, and he wanted to plunge into the fire pit and die.
The key is that I can't control my left hand yet! I can't help but want to rub the two back and forth, and the one coming and going is even more serious, and the call of killing pigs is spread outside, causing the group of big men to frown.
A well-dressed man stood in front of Xiong Mo, the two of them were chatting happily, and suddenly heard a continuous cry of killing pigs, only to see Xiong Mo's face blue and purple for a while, and he could guess what was going on with his toes, it was Luo Chen's ghost!
The man asked puzzledly: "Boss Xiong, what is going on here? Why doesn't it sound right to me? At first glance, it sounds like a pig killing, but it always feels like a human voice." ”
Xiong Mo explained unhurriedly: "Maybe it's the pig killing next door, don't be too surprised, this kind of thing often happens, maybe we catch up by chance, right? Why don't we go into the living room to talk? Listening to this unlucky voice, you must be very reluctant as a reader, right?"
The man replied heartily: "Those who know me, Boss Xiong is also, please first." ”
"You please. ”
Ling Jisong, who was staying in the room at this moment, covered his ears and shouted loudly: "Senior brother, stop for a while! I'm almost out of my body because of your noise! If I continue to argue, I'm afraid my ears will really be gone!"
Luo Chen gradually stopped shouting, and finally calmed down, so tired that he sat down on the chair panting, and finally was relieved.
One word, cool!
