Anu got up early the next day to visit Tieniu and found that Tieniu was better. Anu also fed him some water and then went to work part-time.
This time he successfully received the task of the Forging Hall. This time after Anu came to the Forging Hall, Zuo Tian was stunned for a moment when he saw Anu and said: Why are you here again? Could it be that the person in charge there gave it to you?
You're wearing small shoes. Did I send you here on purpose?
Anu knew that Zuo Tian had misunderstood, so he smiled and said: No, I came here on my own initiative. I am very interested in forging weapons and would like to take advantage of the opportunity of working here to learn the art of casting!
Zuo Tian looked Anu up and down, and found that Anu's attitude was sincere and did not seem to have other intentions, so he nodded and said: "Then if you really like casting and are not afraid of being tired, you can come often. I think you are quite honest."
In fact, our casting industry is really no worse than that of Danyaotang and Xuanjitang.
On the contrary, after you have truly achieved success in learning, which caster will not be welcomed by all parties, and which casting master will not be favored by the powerful Emperor Wu? Well, just study hard here, but you can't fall behind as a day laborer.
What?
Anu nodded and said: I know, I won’t be lazy!
Satisfied, Zuo Tian took Anu to the forging hall again. There was also an endless stream of hammering sounds. This time, the short-term labor task assigned to Anu was to cooperate with other forging hall disciples in forging sword tires, and Anu's task
Mainly, they light fires in more than 30 furnaces, pull bellows, fill the furnaces with fuel, and carry common iron ore metals and some precious metals and other weapons-making materials to the disciples in the foundry hall.
As soon as Anu came here, the ordinary disciple in the first casting hall in the front row saw him and grinned: Hey, why is it still you? Has the remuneration for doing handymen here been increased?
Anu smiled and said: No improvement!
This man's name is He Yunfei, and he is the most talkative. Every time Anu passes by him, he will say a few words to him.
He Yunfei said: That's because you like coming here.
Anu was surprised and said: How do you know I like this place very much?
He Yunfei smiled and said: Because your eyes are full of joy when looking at the various utensils in the foundry, you can't deceive others. The handymen who came before were all listless, and they would just lower their heads and do whatever they were asked to do. They never did.
I will be full of exploratory eyes just like you! Your eyes are very similar to when I first came here.
Anu laughed and said: Senior brother, you should do some investigation, your eyes are too poisonous!
He Yunfei said: People here have poisonous eyes, and their hearts are even more poisonous than their eyes! Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to forge good weapons. Look at the senior brother behind me, his precise control over the shape of the weapons is the strongest here.
, even though he usually doesn't talk, he has the most precise mind, so you must not offend senior brother Zhao Mingjing, he will keep everything in mind.
Anu glanced at the unknown Zhao Mingjing who was blacksmithing behind him, and thought to himself that it is really difficult to judge a person by his appearance!
At this time, Zhao Mingjing looked up and saw Anu and He Yunfei muttering to each other, so he put down the hammer and said to He Yunfei: You
Is the sword tire forging finished? When it is finished, please fill some fuel into the furnace. My furnace is not hot enough.
Upon hearing this, He Yunfei quickly said to Anu: Haha, you better go, this is your mission!
Anu had no choice but to walk over, looked at the casting platform and the furnace and said: Brother Mingjing, where is the fuel?
Zhao Mingjing glanced at Anu, pointed at the wall at the back with a hammer and said: That's right there, remember to pick up the car and ask other senior brothers if they want it.
After hearing this, Anu also pushed the cart to pull the fuel. This is an earth-yellow ore that can emit extremely high temperatures after being burned with ordinary wood, and it is also very resistant to burning.
Anu loaded a cart and pushed it back, walked to the front of Zhao Mingjing's stove, filled the stove with this fuel with a shovel, and then asked: Brother, what kind of fuel is this?
Zhao Mingjing glanced at Anu and said: Huang Mingshi! It is specially used as fuel for iron making.
Anu nodded. At this moment, Anu saw that the flame in his stove was suppressed by Huang Mingshi. The flame was much smaller. He quickly walked to the bellows on one side and pulled up the bellows. In a short time, the fire was also
become vigorous.
At this time, He Yunfei said to Anu: Come on, give me some fuel too!
Anu did as he was told, then filled everyone's stoves with fuel and helped them turn on the bellows to aid combustion.
When Anu finished and wanted to take a rest, Qian Hu and Qianbao called Anu again and asked him to load the iron materials into the cart and push them over. They were going to make swords.
Anu quickly loaded the cart with iron materials. The iron materials here were iron sand extracted from iron and black iron ores. After loading the cart, Anu took a big iron spoon and filled everyone's molds with iron sand.
, and then he stood aside and watched how they melted the iron sand in the mold and cast it into a semi-finished sword tire.
After watching the operations of several people, Anu also understood the sword-making process. It turned out that each of them had a rectangular, three-foot-long, high-temperature-resistant special large iron box. There was a wine glass on top of this big iron box.
size holes.
They heated a mold filled with iron sand that also had high temperature resistance in a furnace. After the iron sand in the mold was melted by the furnace into a dazzling white molten iron, they took the mold out of the furnace with large iron pliers and melted the inside.
The molten iron was poured into the big iron box through the holes on the prepared big iron box.
After cooling down the temperature with water, the big iron box can be opened up and down, and inside is the sword-shaped semi-finished sword tire. However, the surrounding temperature is rising rapidly, and everyone's forehead is dripping with sweat. Obviously this casting
The sword fetus is indeed not fun, it is very hard work.
The time was passed while everyone was casting sword tyres. By the time these people finished casting the first sword tyre, it was almost lunch time, but obviously these people did not stop and continued to greet Anu who was loading them with iron.
Anu continued to fill the mold boxes for about thirty people with iron sand. When they were all filled, he saw that it was already past meal time, so he greeted Zuo Tian and then hurried to the dining hall.
Zuo Tian looked at Anu's
I thought from the back that this guy was quite responsible, unlike some of the handymen in the past who would drop what they were doing and run away as soon as it was time for dinner.
Anu went to the dining hall, bought two portions of food, and carried them back to his residence. The other portion was for Tieniu.
Anu came to Tieniu's residence, pushed the door in, and found that Tieniu was still sleeping, so he woke up Tieniu and had dinner together.
Tieniu saw that Anu had brought him a hot cooked meal, and said happily: I thought I could only eat some dry food to make a fool of myself, but I didn't expect you to bring me rice.
Anu said: I won't forget you. This food is very delicious, and there is meat, which is good for recovery. Tieniu was also lifted up by Anu and leaned against the wall. The two of them were in Tieniu.
After having a bite at home, the two of them finished their meal, and Anu put Tieniu down on the bed, and then took the bowls and chopsticks back to the dining hall.
After Anu came back, he thought about it. Since he had completed all the chores today, he had nothing to think about and entered his mind again to look at the door.
Anu saw the gatekeeper sleeping on the recliner as usual, and Anu walked over through the pool of water.
The man watching the door also woke up after hearing the sound. When he saw it was Anu, he stretched his body and said, "Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you? Don't run to me if you have nothing to do. If you have time,
It's better to enter the bloody space and try it out.
When Anu heard this, he said angrily: "Stop talking useless words. All the things and places here belong to me. Even the armor on your body may have been born in my mind. Could it be that you will see wealth after seeing it?"
I put it on you just because you wanted to. Well, it must be similar to what I said. Take off the armor quickly!
I'm already showing you a huge favor by letting you live in my mind. Take off your armor quickly! After saying that, I stretched out my hand to pull the mysterious and domineering armor on the door.
When the guard at the gate saw Anu like this, he immediately said angrily: Hey, hey, what did I say? At first it was begging, and then it was deception. When the deception failed, it was changed to robbery!
Anu said: Who robbed it? Maybe this armor originally belonged to me?
The man looking at the door sneered: Have you ever seen armor that doesn't match yours? How old are you? Didn't you see that it fits me perfectly? Besides, this armor was carefully refined by me. Without my consent, you can't let it fit you.
You can't even solve it.
Anu saw that he really couldn't get it, so he looked at the chaotic mist on the door's face and said: Are everything you said true?
He looked at the door and asked in confusion: What are you referring to? Everything I said is true!
Anu said: That's what you told me yesterday! Is it true that in ancient times, a Wuhou-level warrior like me could frighten a Martial-King-level demon king like the Man-eating Tree as long as he released his energy and blood?
?
He looked at the door and said, "Ah, that's it! What did I think it was? You snatched my armor as soon as you came up. I thought you were stimulated by something else!"
