Tang Yuan and Youcao walked out of the house, Tang Yuan was going to the martial arts shop, and Youcao was going to give him a gift for his little sister

Tang Yuan walked through the family master's mansion, glanced at it meaningfully, and headed towards the martial arts shop.

He came to the martial arts shop with a piece of fine iron in his hand, it was still noisy inside, and all kinds of beating sounds came one after another, and he strode into the martial arts shop with great expectations.

The martial artists focused on knocking and beating, and no one noticed that Tang Yuan had entered the martial arts shop.

Tang Yuan walked around inside, didn't see Tang Cheng's familiar figure, and casually found a slightly younger martial artist and asked implicitly.

Although Tang Yuan is the second young master of the Tang family, most of the martial artists are not from the Tang family, and Tang Yuan does not come here often, so it is normal for the martial artists not to know him.

"This brother, is it okay to delay you a little longer?" Tang Yuan said with a smile.

The martial artist turned his head away, glanced at Tang Yuan and said, "Yes, but only for a while, I still have a lot of things to do." ”

"Okay, delay for a quarter of an hour, brother, what's your name?" Tang Yuan asked.

The martial artist put down the hammer and said impatiently: "Du Qingyun, please also ask my brother to have something to say." ”

"Okay, I just wanted to ask, why are you so busy?" Tang Yuan then asked.

"A big customer needs a batch of weapons, and our Tang family martial artists don't like to be in arrears, so we are rushing to produce them now. After Du Qingyun finished speaking, he picked up the hammer again and prepared to lower it.

"There is another question, that is, where did the Tang City Craftsman go?" Tang Yuan finally asked this question.

Du Qingyun put down the hammer in his hand again, looked at Tang Yuan and said, "Do you know the Tang City craftsman?"

"I've known Tang Martial Master for a while, why is my brother so surprised?"

Du Qingyun hurriedly explained: "The people who can deal with the craftsmen of Tangcheng are not ordinary people, you should be ......"

"I'm just an ordinary person, I just know Uncle Tang Cheng. Tang Yuandao.

Although Tang Yuan is a young master, he does not have the shelf of a young master at all, which is also the main reason why he has many friends.

"Master Tangcheng, I went out yesterday and haven't come back yet, if you really want to find it, you can wait here. Du Qingyun said.

"Thank you, Brother Qingyun. Tang Yuan arched his hand.

Du Qingyun saw Tang Yuan arching his hand, and said in his heart: "This little brother looks gorgeously dressed, obviously a rich idler, and he is so polite to me, a low-level craftsman, and he will become a great weapon in the future." ”

Tang Yuan found a place in the martial arts shop, sat on a chair, crossed Erlang's legs, spread out the prepared "Six Hundred Poems" in the hustle and bustle, regardless of the world, read silently, and entered his own world.

The beating sound of one after another beat the beat, and the more Tang Yuan read, the more rhythmic he became, and he won dozens of poems in the book in an hour.

The middle-aged man in black appeared outside the door of the martial arts shop, walked inside, his eyes were as usual, and he swept his eyes to see if anyone was lazy, and a young man reading a book suddenly came into view and walked forward.

"Second Young Master, why are you here?" Tang Cheng asked.

After Tang Yuan heard the familiar voice, he closed the book, stood up and stretched, and then said, "Uncle Tang Cheng, you are finally back, I have something to ask you for help." ”

Tang Cheng smiled and said, "Second Young Master, since there is something, please tell me." ”

Tang Yuan took out a piece of refined iron with his backhand, handed it to Tang Cheng, and said, "Uncle Tang Cheng, you can identify whether this is a piece of refined iron?"

Tang Cheng took the piece of fine iron, and after taking a closer look, he said: "That's right, it is indeed a piece of fine iron, but it has been forged, and it can no longer be forged, but it is still a semi-finished product." ”

"No, there seem to be other metals in there. Tang Cheng added.

"This piece of fine iron, the surface is rough, not smooth, and lacks metallic luster, I think this piece of fine iron is different from other pieces of fine iron, so I bought it. Tang Yuandao.

"I'll check the metal composition to see if there's any mystery in it?" Tang Cheng was just as full of anticipation as Tang Yuan.

After Tang Cheng finished speaking, he walked directly into the forging table, and each martial artist focused on his own affairs, and did not see Tang Cheng walk in.

He did it himself, while Tang Yuan sat down and continued to read.

Tang Cheng picked up the cutting knife, his hand rose and fell, and he found that he only cut through some of the skin, but the inside could not be cut, and the cutting knife was also a little deformed.

The first thing that occurred to him was that this piece of metal should be a mixed metal.

That is, the original metal is surrounded by a large number of ordinary metals next to it after a hundred years of change, and then forms a mixed metal.

Tang Cheng brought a lamp and shone it on the cut opening.

Under the light, the small cut is shining with a brilliant golden light, although it is not very large, but it is a little dazzling.

"Sure enough, there is a mystery inside, this can't be pure gold, right? If it's ordinary gold, I can still forge it, if it's pure gold, it can only be tested, if you want to forge it, then you have to ask the master martial artist to forge it." Tang Cheng said with some excitement in his heart.

Tang Cheng Next, he took out an ordinary gold needle and rubbed it into the small mouth with golden light, the ordinary gold needle was directly bent, but the metal in the small mouth was intact.

He was sure that the core ingredient of this piece of metal was either pure gold, or it was a mixture of pure gold and ordinary gold.

After ruling out many possibilities, he went on to test the two and complete the identification.

He pondered for a moment, then looked at the "fine iron block" in a daze.

Tang Cheng picked up the cutting knife again, cutting the fine iron on the edge of the "fine iron block", and the golden metal gradually revealed and unveiled.

He took back the light from outside, and the entire forging table was shining with golden light in an instant, and many martial artists put down their work and looked at Tang Cheng, their eyes were full of reverence, and then they buried their heads in hard work.

Tang Cheng looked at the glittering metal and carefully looked at its fineness.

"The surface is smooth, very pure, not as rough as mixed metals, and it should be pure gold. Tang Cheng said in his heart.

He already had the answer in his heart, and quickly walked out of the forging room and came to Tang Yuan.

"Second Young Master, you are really discerning, this 'fine iron block' is a mixed metal, there is really a mystery in it, it is very pure pure gold, pure gold in Jiangnan but there is no response, the price is fried to a thousand taels of silver for a tael, I don't know where the second young master got it?" Tang Cheng said excitedly.

After Tang Yuan heard this, he found himself from the world of poetry, looked at Tang Cheng and said, "Uncle Tang Cheng, I bought it from Zhaojiafang City, and it only cost twenty taels of silver. ”

Tang Yuan laughed after speaking, he also gave the merchant an extra tael of silver that day, but he didn't expect that he would make more money this time, and more than a little bit.

Tang Cheng's expression was solemn, he was not happy that Tang Yuan could get this piece of metal so easily, and said solemnly: "Second Young Master, I personally suggest that this piece of metal, don't let others see it, and don't sell this piece of metal, otherwise you may get killed." ”

There was a hint of exhortation in Tang Cheng's words.

Tang Yuan flicked his sleeves, looked excited, and said, "I know this, I won't be so stupid." ”

"Second Young Master, none of the metals of pure gold can be forged in the Tang family, if you meet a trusted martial arts master in the future, you can find him (her) to forge it. Tang Cheng added.
