It is recorded in "Jin Ding Lu".
Most of the general furnace tripods are made of bronze.
Furnace cauldrons are divided into three, six or nine grades. The bronze material is medium and is also the most widely used one.
Among the higher-end cauldrons, they are often called golden cauldrons. Of course, golden cauldrons are not made of gold, but of very precious metal materials. On the surface, the cauldron in Lin Feng’s hands is not a golden cauldron. No golden tripod.
This is just cold iron material.
The material is better than bronze, and cold iron can block the invasion of cold air from the outside. Even if you are refining medicine in winter, it will not be invaded by the cold air from the outside, causing the medicine to fail.
In other seasons, this material is better at balancing internal and external temperatures.
As we all know, refining medicine in a furnace requires very stable control of the heat.
Only when the heat is stable can the medicine be used to its fullest potential.
But the cracked furnace cauldron was caused by the user not controlling it properly when the furnace cauldron was used to refine medicine, and the furnace exploded. Of course, there are different degrees of frying. One-line frying furnaces are called micro-frying furnaces. The furnace can still be used, but it might explode at some point. It might break into two halves after one use, or it might break in half after ten uses. No problem a few times.
The ancient furnace tripod is also an antique.
Although Lin Feng has no practice in identifying this kind of thing, he can clearly judge it based on the thing in his hand at this moment.
After hearing Lin Feng say there was a crack on the furnace cauldron, Min Tang immediately stood up.
He stared at the cauldron in Lin Feng's hand and said.
"How is it possible? The cold iron cauldron in my hand is 100% complete. How can it be cracked?"
"Sir, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense!"
Lin Feng turned the cauldron over and carefully placed it on the table. He picked up a small flashlight from the side and shined it between the three legs of the small cauldron.
"Look carefully, what is this if it's not a crack?"
This bitch Min Tang dared to bully Lin Feng's Sister Jiang, so Lin Feng would naturally have to teach him a lesson. There are naturally no cracks in the furnace itself and it is a complete vessel, but Lin Feng believes that Min Tang has not paid attention to the bottom of the furnace.
and.
This Min Tang is a Gu master.
Most Gu masters like to refine medicine, especially poisons. When he got this cauldron, he must have used it to refine medicine. Because when Lin Feng got hold of the cauldron, he saw a little bit of fresh ash in the inner hall.
Although he had gone through cleaning, with Lin Feng's eyesight, he could still see the new gray that was not very obvious.
Min Tang saw that at the bottom of the furnace cauldron, there was indeed a small line-breaking crack that was not very obvious.
He frowned slightly.
"This... can't be true. When I bought this stove, it was in good condition!"
"Han Tie, how could it possibly crack?"
Lin Feng heard Min Tang's doubts and continued.
"If I guess correctly, Mr. Min Tang must have used this furnace to practice medicine, right? You don't know that this kind of furnace, which has been passed down for thousands of years, needs to be preheated when used for the first time. It needs to be preheated for three days before use. You must have used it directly, which destroyed the stability of the internal structure of the furnace, thus causing the bottom of the furnace to crack!"
"You actually used this cracked furnace bottom to fool these two doctors and ruined the reputation of our Qianlou. Can you afford it?"
Lin Feng's tone worsened.
He had a good guess at what Min Tang was thinking in front of him.
There is indeed a saying that the young man warmed up the ancient furnace for three days before using it again. This is also recorded in the Golden Cauldron Record. Lin Feng's statement was completely impeccable to Min Tang.
beside.
Jiang Hua saw that Lin Feng had gained the upper hand in the situation, so she took advantage of this momentum and spoke.
"Min Tang, how dare you cheat us with a cracked stove?"
Lin Feng also said.
"It's unethical to deceive people like this!"
"According to our rules, you will be severely punished!"
"this……"
Min Tang said something
Speechless.
This man is domineering in the immortal capital and has tricked many people in his business, but he does not have the courage to directly confront Qianlou and the Bai family. Therefore, he hesitated and explained immediately.
"Ms. Jiang, sir, this matter is a misunderstanding. I really don't know that the bottom of my stove exploded. If I knew that the bottom of the stove was cracked, I would definitely not have been able to get it here and sell it to Miss Jiang!"
"Sir, please tell me, if there is a crack at the bottom of the stove, and I know it, I will definitely repair it first and then sell it. How can I put this kind of thing on the surface? Antique transactions require inspection. Good stuff!" ap.
Lin Feng put down the teacup in his hand.
He stared at Min Tang and said coldly.
"When discussing business, you dare to threaten Miss Jiang with a furnace cauldron. What is there that you don't dare to do?"
"Even if it's cracked, you just need to buy and sell it by force. Why do you need to repair it?"
Lin Feng's words were naturally intended to contradict Min Tang's irony.
Min Tang lowered his head.
"Don't dare! Sir, I really know that I was wrong. Otherwise, although this stove is cracked, if it can still be used after repairing it, I will transfer this stove to Miss Jiang at a low price. What do you think?"
"Even if it's me and Miss Jiang, we have to apologize!"
After saying this, Min Tang stood up, took a rare gold fairy spring, and quietly handed it to Lin Feng.
How could Lin Feng not want such a good thing delivered to his door?
He still said it.
"what are you doing?"
Min Tang whispered.
"Please don't be angry, sir."
Lin Feng sighed and secretly collected the fairy spring.
He asked Min Tang again.
"You just said that you would transfer a cracked stove to Miss Jiang at a low price. How can you do it at a low price? As for you, if you tell anyone about it, really, you will never be able to enter the Qianlou again!"
Lin Feng was putting pressure on Min Tang.
And Jiang Hua assessed the situation and said something else.
"Sigh... Since there is a crack, forget it, we don't want it anymore. Thank you sir for rescuing us and maintaining order in the building!"
Lin Feng waved his hand.
Say it to Min Tang.
"Okay, I don't want it anymore, you can go!"
Min Tang actually still wanted to do this business. At least, he couldn't fall into his hands with this cracked stove!
Seeing this, he quickly spoke.
"In this way, I will give you a 50% discount on the original price, plus one rare gold fairy spring. This stove, four rare gold fairy springs, how about it?"
Granny Yao and Jiang Hua seemed a little moved, and they were about to speak.
After all, the price of the cold iron stove is really affordable.
But Lin Feng smiled and asked directly.
"Is this called a low price?"
"Min Tang, forget it, you better go out! A cracked stove may break after being used once. How much does it cost to rent a cold iron stove for refining medicine once? In other words, how much does it cost to rent this cold iron stove? Do you know how difficult it is to re-build a cold iron stove after the iron has melted, and how high the level of craftsmanship is required? Just for the labor cost of rebuilding it, I am afraid it will cost several fairy springs, right?"
There is a method to build it in the Golden Cauldron Record, and Lin Feng naturally knows how difficult it is.
Mingtang looked at Lin Feng and asked tentatively.
"Sir, how about you tell me, what's the appropriate price?"
"A rare gold fairy spring!"
