The school specially arranged for people to guard it, fearing that someone would steal the ore.
Lin Yan found the person in charge, it was Blue Star who led people to take care of the ore.
Seeing that he was an acquaintance, Lin Yan smiled and said, "So I arranged for you to stay here yesterday. I'm here to get the ore, and I want to trouble you to bring someone to deliver it to us."
Blue Star smiled heartily and said, "What's the point? Yesterday they discussed it and distributed twenty sacks of ore to the laboratory first, and the rest will be kept here for safekeeping. Will they be sent to you?"
"Yes, yes, send them all over. The laboratory is ready, but we are short of ore." Lin Yan nodded hurriedly.
They originally planned to move it themselves, but it would be great to have strong men like Blue Star to help. A sack of ore is not light.
Blue Star took fifteen people to guard the ore, and she asked ten people to help deliver twenty sacks of ore to the laboratory.
Lin Yan was very grateful to Blue Star and promised to build him a bow and arrow. The tribe didn't have such a weapon yet, so Blue Star left happily.
With the ore in hand, everyone in the laboratory devoted all their energy to smelting iron.
Put the ore and charcoal into the built furnace, burn it with fire, and first smelt the hematite into pig iron.
The furnace is built in the courtyard of the laboratory for easy ventilation. If the house is indoors and the ventilation is not good, it will be bad if you get poisoned.
They had already studied basic chemistry and had already considered this, so they could do it well without Lin Yan's special reminder.
The process was very time-consuming, leaving Mao Mu and Lin Yun to watch while the others went to do other things.
They all have things to do, so how can they waste time?
Seeing them working so actively, Lin Yan was very satisfied. She said, "You will all go to my house for dinner later and have a taste of the green onions."
"Okay, we can't bear it anymore." Hua Min said loudly.
"I heard it's delicious, right?" Huang Ying asked.
Lin Yan smiled and said, "You won't know until you taste it yourself."
When it was time to eat, Mao Mu and Lin Yun were left guarding the stove, while the rest went to Lin Yan's house.
Huahong had just come back from the fields and was about to cook. When she saw Lin Yan coming with a group of children, she smiled and said, "You are all here, wait a moment before you can eat."
"Auntie, we are just here to cook. There are so many people and we can cook quickly. We just make breakfast. None of them have eaten green onions and want to try them."
"Okay, let's do it together."
A group of people were cooking, cutting meat, grilling meat, and making soup. It was very lively.
The fresh meat at home was hunted on the way back, including a leg of lamb and three rats and rabbits.
The leg of lamb was obtained from a few dead sheep that the expedition team missed when they returned. There might have been a fierce fight among the herds at that time, and they were lucky enough to catch up.
Huahong's cooking skills have improved greatly, and the meal is ready in a short time. The yard is filled with the aroma of meat and green onions, which makes people salivate.
Looking at the pots, plates and bowls piled up on the table, Huahong smiled and said, "Eat quickly, we're all starving."
The children immediately stretched out their hands to start with the dishes they liked. For a moment, no one could talk, they were all immersed in eating.
After a heavy meal, all the pots and pans on the table were cleared away, not even a drop of soup was left, it was as clean as if it had been licked.
"It's so delicious. I've never eaten such delicious meat. This is called cold shredded pork, right? I like this the best." Hua Min pointed to an empty basin.
The basin was full just now, but now the bottom of the basin is clean, not even a shred of green onion is left.
"Lin Yan, the green onions you brought back are so well seasoned. Add a little bit to make the meat taste more fragrant."
Her stomach was bulging after eating, and Hua Min felt that if there was still more, she could still eat it.
Shi Zhi put down the bowl in his hand, "This broth is delicious. The mutton makes the soup better than rat and rabbit. It has the aroma of green onions to enhance the flavor, which is even better."
Hong Ling nodded repeatedly and said: "The broth is delicious. After adding green onions, it seems that soul has been injected into it, and the whole soup taste has been sublimated."
Everyone in the group had their mouths dripping with oil. Lan Yue suddenly said: "We have all eaten. There is no food left for Mao Mu and Lin Yun."
"Ah, I really forgot." Hua Min slapped her forehead and volunteered, "I'll do it again for them."
"Let's do it together." Bai Chen stood up and followed.
She had just watched the process of making Hua Hong, and she felt that she needed to practice it to see if she could make it so delicious.
"I'll wash the dishes." Hong Ling put away all the empty dishes on the table.
Huahong said hurriedly: "Leave me alone, you all have something to do, I'll just wash it."
Shuisheng and the others also helped clean up.
Huang Ying saw the baskets drying in the yard. There were things she didn't recognize inside, so she asked Lin Yan what they were.
"Those are the herbs I brought back. Come and let me introduce you to them."
Lin Yan introduced them one by one, explaining the effects and usage of each herbal medicine.
Huang Ying's eyes lit up when she heard this. She thought the herbs were so magical, "Why do herbs have these effects?"
After thinking about it, Lin Yan explained: "Herbal medicine contains some chemicals. These chemicals will cause various reactions when used on humans to achieve therapeutic purposes."
"It's amazing, I want to learn this."
"Really want to learn?"
"Hmm, that's so interesting."
Seeing that Huang Ying was really interested, Lin Yan rolled his eyes and said, "It happens that the tribe wants to train doctors, and I think you can do it. You have learned some basics, but the human body is a complex system, and what doctors learn is very complicated, and I don't understand it either. You have to study this yourself.”
"No problem, I can do it." Huang Ying didn't think these were problems at all. After doing some experiments, she felt that everything was created from scratch. After wonderful changes, the same should be true for pharmacology.
"Think about it carefully. If you really want to do this, I will help you find some medical books and you can study it yourself."
"And there are medical books?" Huang Ying was surprised, thinking that she had to rely entirely on herself.
Lin Yan nodded, "The medical book is just a reference, and you need to verify it. You can choose some people to work together. Searching for herbal medicines and studying the efficacy of medicines require more people. It is difficult for you alone."
"I understand, let me think about what to do."
Huang Ying was interested in pharmacology, and Lin Yan strongly supported her, which happened to help her solve a difficult problem.
The tribe needs doctors, but it is too difficult to train talents in this area. As a layman, she has no ambition to do this. It would be great if Huang Ying can take the initiative to do this.
"Okay, tell me when you think about it. Medical research is also an important part. When the time comes, a special research laboratory will be set up and you will be in charge."
"Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with my family, and I'll let you know when I think about it."
Huang Ying didn't agree at all. After hearing Lin Yan's last words, she felt that this matter was very important. A specialized research room is also a public matter of Sun City. If she does this, it will be just as Lin Yan expected yesterday.
In addition to my own interests, I can help more people, which is also a good thing.
Thinking of this, Huang Ying became more determined. It was a good idea for her to choose to be a doctor.
