The phone kept ringing for a long time before it was connected. After the call was connected, the voice on the other end was noisy and it was not for anything. Chen Ran put the phone to his ear and asked hurriedly: "Are you Mu Weiwei's classmate?"
Only then did he realize that he had forgotten to ask the girl's name.
When the other party heard Chen Ran's words, he didn't say anything. Instead, after a long silence, the girl's thin voice came: "Yes... I am."
Chen Ran then asked: "Well, classmate, is Mu Weiwei at school? Is she with you?"
"She's right next to me." The voice on the phone suddenly became quieter.
Hearing what the other party said, Chen Ran hurriedly asked: "Can you let her answer the phone?"
"Okay... okay, then wait a moment." After these words were heard, the other end of the phone suddenly became quiet, as if someone was whispering. Chen Ran didn't hear what was being said clearly. It must have been someone calling.
Mu Weiwei answered the phone.
"Hello, I'm Mu Weiwei, what do you want from me?" Not long after, a clear voice came from the phone.
"Mu Weiwei, it's like this. I'm your eldest brother's friend. He's out now and can't come back. When I met him, he asked me to go to your house. When you come home, I'll go with you.
Pay a visit?"
As Chen Ran spoke, he was thinking about how to tell the other party about Mu Gang. Things that Mu Gang was detained in the detention center were obviously not allowed to be discussed, so he might as well say that Mu Gang was still in the army.
"Well, come to school and see me on Friday afternoon. I have to go to class. I won't tell you anymore. Goodbye." The other party agreed happily and hung up the phone after saying that.
Chen Ran felt something was wrong while holding the phone. Mu Gang had been away from home for more than ten years. How could the other party not be excited at all when he heard about Mu Gang? He just agreed without asking. Could it be that he was looking for a mistake?
Already? It’s just the same name.
Shaking his head, Chen Ran didn't think much about whether she was Mu Gang's sister. He would know it once they met her.
As soon as I put my cell phone in my pocket, it started ringing. I took it out and saw that it was Guo Hai calling. After the call was connected, I heard Guo Hai's cursing voice: "Oh my god, where did you die?"
?”
"Inside the house."
Chen Ran said angrily, "We are going to start the furnace today. Someone must cooperate in the early stage of starting the furnace, but it only requires the help of a helper in the early stage, and it will not be needed in the later stage."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Ran went to open the door. When he opened the door, he saw Guo Hai. When he saw Chen Ran, Guo Hai complained: "I said what tricks are you planning to play again? You killed me so early in the morning."
I called, Uncle Ping's restaurant will open the day after tomorrow, he is busy over there, but you are very leisurely..."
Hearing Guo Hai's complaints, Chen Ran felt a little ashamed, but it wasn't that he didn't want to help, but that even if he went to help, he couldn't help. Over at the restaurant, the people Chen Ping used were all relatives. Those people
When I met him, everyone was extremely enthusiastic. He was asked to do no work. He just ran over every now and then to talk to those people.
The two brothers went downstairs while talking. Li Yuzhi saw Guo Hai and Chen Ran going downstairs together, so he asked Guo Hai if he had eaten. Guo Hai said he had eaten, but his hands were not idle.
, grabbed two fried buns and stuffed them into his mouth...
"Uncle, have you eaten yet?"
Seeing Wu Jianguo sitting there smiling at Guo Hai, Chen Ran asked. He needed two helpers. In addition to Guo Hai, he also called Wu Jianguo. This matter had already been discussed with Wu Jianguo. Wu Jianguo had eaten and also
He didn't go out and was waiting for Chen Ran at home.
"After eating, I'll wait for you." Wu Jianguo said and stood up.
"I said, where are you taking us to? It's so mysterious..." They were almost there, Guo Hai was still struggling with this problem. Naturally, he would never think of Chen Ranla.
It seems that he is going to blacksmith.
Chen Ran ignored him, parked the off-road vehicle in front of the sword factory, opened the door and walked out. Guo Hai and Wu Jianguo also got out of the car.
"Aran, is this right here?" Wu Jianguo got out of the car and asked looking around.
"This place is nice. Xiao Ran, what are we doing here? Don't tell me that I brought my uncle and us here early in the morning just to accompany you to see the scenery..." Guo Hai followed behind
, looked around and couldn't help but ask again.
"Didn't you see the sword factory in front of you?" Chen Ran glared at him angrily: "Of course you come here to make iron!"
After saying that, Chen Ran walked towards the gate of the sword factory without looking back, leaving behind two people looking at each other, blacksmithing?
No matter what Guo Hai and Wu Jianguo thought, after confirmation, they both knew that Chen Ran had brought them here to forge iron. To put it bluntly, they were to be used as hard labor.
Wu Jianguo didn't think much about it. The life at home now is many times better than before. In the past, this was definitely something he couldn't imagine. And it was his nephew who brought about all these changes, so he
He took his nephew very seriously, not to mention that Chen Ran was not taking them to play, even if Chen Ran was doing it purely for fun, he would not say anything and just kept playing with his nephew.
This is not about hating the poor and loving the rich, nor is it flattery. This is how rural people think. He will be nice to anyone who treats him well. Chen Ran is rich and treats him well, so he will naturally be extremely grateful.
Although Guo Hai felt that Chen Ran's idea was really ridiculous, he had already come and he could only do what he had to do. However, throughout the whole process, he complained a lot about Chen Ran and said that Chen Ran was just having fun.
There are so many tricks, isn't it? I took my little thing to participate in someone else's dog fight a few days ago, and now I have to make my own sword for fun...
Chen Ran didn't explain to him either. The equipment, ingredients, smelting furnaces, blowers in the sword workshop... everything that needed to be prepared was ready. Chen Ran, Guo Hai and Wu Jianguo assigned their tasks and started.
To test it, first of all, one of the two people must pull the bellows, and they can take turns pulling the bellows. Of course, when Chen Ran is free, he will take over from them for a while.
The three of Chen Ran worked together. Wu Jianguo was temporarily in charge of pulling the bellows, and Guo Hai was temporarily doing complex chores. Chen Ran added the prepared steel and auxiliary materials into the smelting furnace, while casually picking up a fire hook next to the smelting furnace and adjusting it.
For the flame in the stove, the bigger the better, nor the smaller the better, but the size of the flame must be reasonably controlled according to the situation. At the beginning, the impurities in the iron ore and other auxiliary materials need to be removed, so the flame must be stronger.
.
Even the flames of the metallurgy of Kunwu country have ingredients, and the main raw material of this ingredient is biofuels such as maple fruit.
Seeing that the effect was almost done, Chen Ran hurriedly shouted. Guo Hai quickly brought the prepared fire fuel to Chen Ran. Chen Ran looked at the flames in the fire and grabbed a small handful of ingredients.
After filling it into the furnace fire, in just a moment, the flames that were originally burning in all directions suddenly started to burn in a concentrated manner, and the flames also suddenly became larger and burned against the materials.
This scene surprised Guo Hai and Wu Jianguo on the side. The effect of this ingredient is obviously different from that of adding some gasoline. It is quite like playing magic.
The pieces of iron ore, kaolin and other materials in the furnace are all burned red. According to the normal forging process, you should use tongs to take them out at this time and start the next process, which is forging. Wait until the temperature drops and then start again.
Put it in the fire to heat, and finally the quenching process.
However, Chen Ran did not do this. Instead, he added the auxiliary ingredients and continued to bake until...
In the next two or three days, Chen Ran did not step out of the Baojian Factory. He lived, ate, and lived in the Baojian Factory. He lived in a small courtyard on one side. He just cleaned up and bought a bed and quilt. All he had to eat was
You can't blame him for the food that Guo Hai brought him. The main reason is that he had to keep an eye on it during the process.
But just keep an eye on it, it won't be that troublesome later, and his restaurant officially opened yesterday. According to Guo Hai, business is very hot... It's normal for business to be hotter just after it opened. Is the business good or not?
We can only wait and see in the future, I guess it won’t be bad. After all, there are more rich people now, and they also like to go to higher-end restaurants for meals...
Chen Ran is mainly experimenting with ingredients now. Different formulas will produce different effects. The one with the best effect must be held in his own hands. The one with less effective effect will be passed on to the invited casting master...
Originally, Chen Ran was worried that in the era of Kunwu Kingdom, the Kunwu clan could create magical weapons. Now that the metallurgical technology has been passed to him, it is hard to say whether he can create it, but now he finds that his idea is completely
It's too much to worry about.
The metallurgical technology of Kunwu country is different from that of Ou Yezi. The metallurgical technology of Kunwu country is the same for the entire clan, while Ou Yezi's metallurgical technology is just that he is the master personally. Even if he passes his metallurgical technology to his apprentices,
His apprentice may not necessarily become a master.
Ou Yezi's disciples can be said to be numerous, but there are only two or three famous ones. If Chen Ran obtained Ou Yezi's metallurgical technology, it is obviously not certain whether he can build it, but Kunwu Country's
different.
Although there may be some differences, as long as the process and formula are correct, the difference will not be big. Of course, the metallurgical technology of Kunwu Country is also in full bloom. After all, different formulas are used, and the effects of creating swords are also different. Chen Ran got
It is just the metallurgical technology of one of the masters of metallurgy in Kunwu Kingdom, and this master, if I am not mistaken, is actually the master who made the legendary weapon Kunwu Cutting Jade Sword.
After more than a hundred processes, the two Kunwu swords finally took shape. Next, there is the last process, which is quenching.
"Brother Chen..."
As soon as Chen Ran placed the two forged swords in the exhibition hall, the laughter of Zhu Feng and Guo Hai came from the yard. Without being able to see the effect, Chen Ran covered them with a layer of red cloth and walked out of the exhibition hall to greet them.
Go up.
"Brother Chen, you are not kind. Why didn't you call me when you had such a fun thing? Thanks to the chance encounter with the sea, I found out that you were forging swords by yourself. I said you wanted to buy Zheng Le's sword factory.
What is it for? It turns out this is what it is about. Hey, what kind of fragrance..."
When Zhu Feng saw Chen Ran, he complained. Guo Hai had been driving Chen Ran's off-road vehicle to deliver meals to Chen Ran these two days. Just now, Guo Hai was bumped into by Zhu Feng when he was on the road. When Zhu Feng heard about it,
Chen Ran suddenly became interested in making weapons with his own hands, and ran over with Guo Hai. As he was talking, Zhu Feng suddenly smelled a sweet kiss...
"What kind of fragrance? Why didn't I smell it..."
Guo Hai, who was following Zhu Feng, sniffed and shook his head strangely.
Chen Ran shook his head and did not answer Zhu Feng. Instead, he asked Guo Hai to close the door of the exhibition hall. Although Guo Hai was surprised, he immediately turned around and closed the door. After closing the door, Chen Ran turned off the big lights in the exhibition hall.
, this kind of exhibition hall is specially built. If you close the door and turn off the lights, the entire exhibition hall will suddenly fall into darkness.
"Damn, what on earth are you doing? It's broad daylight, why don't you turn off the lights..." The whole exhibition hall was dark and nothing could be seen, which immediately caused Guo Hai to complain carelessly.
.
"Brother Feng, Dahai, you all look here..."
Chen Ran's voice suddenly came from the corner of the dark exhibition hall, causing Zhu Feng and Guo Hai to look over involuntarily following Chen Ran's voice, but it was completely dark and nothing could be seen.
When Hai couldn't help but want to ask aloud, a clang suddenly came from the corner where Chen Ran was.
