The three arbiters unanimously expressed their opinions. Others did not dare to raise their opinions and could only do as they were told.
Lin Yan walked to Bai Yun and said, "I want to tell you about the smelting plant."
"Okay, I'm just about to go find you. Only you know best about the smelting plant, and I need your help." Bai Yun smiled, and she liked and admired Lin Yan very much.
"People in the laboratory will focus on smelting next, and we want to participate in the construction of the smelter together."
"It's great that you can come, I can't wait to come. Let's go, let's discuss how to build the smelter first?" Bai Yun picked up Lin Yan and left.
Alan stopped her and said, "Why are you so anxious? I want to hear it too. The iron coins and iron tools that Lin Yan just mentioned are all related to smelting. This matter is very important. I will follow you."
Lin Yan has no objection. Everything is zero now, and many people need to work together to do it.
Bai Yun is of course welcome. A-Lan is the arbiter and has a high status. It would be better to have her around.
The three of them went to the laboratory, looked at the furnace in the yard, and then looked at the pig iron produced.
Bai Yun first asked: "How can this iron ore be made into iron tools and iron coins?"
She tried it with her hands. It was very heavy and extremely hard. It was impossible to break it apart by human power. No wonder it could be used to create sharp weapons.
Lin Yan picked up the pig iron block and demonstrated while saying: "As long as the temperature is high enough, this pig iron block will melt into a liquid state and flow like red water. We will make a mold, pour the molten iron into it, and wait for the temperature to drop. We will make the iron tools we want. Look over there, that is a smelting furnace. Put the iron ore in it and keep burning it, and it will turn into molten iron. I just made a mold for the iron pot. Let's take a look with our own eyes. Iron ore becomes an iron pot.”
She knew very well that talking about it was far less shocking than seeing it with her own eyes.
It just so happened that the clay pan for the iron pot and kitchen knife had been prepared. The iron pot is the simplest kind, with double ears, about fifteen centimeters deep and hemispherical about thirty centimeters in diameter. The kitchen knife is cast with the handle.
It will take some time for the fire in the smelting furnace to start burning.
Lin Yan brought over the iron spoon and hammer forged from pig iron and showed them to Bai Yun and Alan. These two iron tools were made by Mao Mu and Lin Yun with great effort.
When the molten iron is boiled, scoop it out with an iron spoon and quickly pour it into the clay mold. After cooling, knock off the clay mold, and the iron pot and kitchen knife are ready.
Alan and Baiyun were stunned. They never imagined that such hard iron ore could change its shape and make it look what they wanted.
Bai Yun pointed at the iron pot excitedly, "This is the iron pot you have been thinking about. Is it really indestructible?"
"The melting temperature of iron is very high, and the firewood used for cooking will not burn out at all. With an iron pot, it is convenient to eat whatever you want. When you come to my house, I will show you the wonderful uses of the iron pot."
"Okay, I can't wait any longer." Alan's eyes burst out with a strange light.
Seeing Mao Mu and Lin Yun, who had taken away the kitchen knives, beating them with hammers and putting them into the water, Bai Chen became curious, "What are they doing?"
Lin Yan explained: "The blade of the poured kitchen knife is not sharp enough. After they have made it manually, the blade will be sharper and easier to use. In the future, making weapons such as broadswords will also require laborious sharpening, so the smelter will need a lot of people."
When making the clay model of the kitchen knife, the blade has been made as thin as possible, but it is still not as good as it needs to be sharpened manually.
After the blade was opened, Lin Yan took a group of people home.
She wanted them to witness the magic of iron pots and kitchen knives. After four years, she finally realized her wish of owning iron pots and kitchen knives. There is an illusion of owning the whole world, which is so humble.
It was getting late, and everyone was starting to have dinner. Huahong was cutting meat at home and preparing to make broth.
She was shocked when she saw a group of people coming together, especially when she saw Bai Yun and Alan. How could they come to her house together. Before she could figure it out, she heard Lin Yan speak.
"Auntie, the iron pot and kitchen knife are ready. They are all here to see this."
Huahong immediately looked at the things in A'lan's and Baiyun's hands and figured out what they were here for. "These are the iron pot and the kitchen knife, the things you often talk about. How to use them?"
"Auntie, just do as I say."
Huahong picked out two fat rats and rabbits and chopped them with a kitchen knife. She was stunned as soon as the knife went down. This was so powerful.
In the past, stone knives were used to kill rats and rabbits, and it took many cuts to kill them. The whole scene was bloody and chaotic, with blood splattering everywhere.
Now, with one cut, the fur of the rat and rabbit is penetrated, directly into the flesh.
Bai Yun and Alan had also killed rats and rabbits before, and they could see the sharpness of the kitchen knives at a glance.
"Auntie, don't be in a daze, are you all waiting?" Lin Yan urged after seeing Hua Hong not moving for a while.
Huahong regained consciousness, holding the kitchen knife like a magic weapon, and killed the two rats and rabbits neatly in less than twenty minutes.
Peel off the skin of the meat with a thick layer of fat, put the pot on the fire and grill it while rubbing it. After a while, it will be shiny.
After finishing the iron pot, I dipped the kitchen knife in grease again.
Lin Yan smiled and said, "The next step is to witness the magical moment of the iron pot."
The cut pieces of fat were placed in the iron pot and stir-fried. After a while, the oil shone. Add the green onions to the pot, which made a sizzling sound. The aroma of the green onions hit your face instantly.
The people present were so fragrant that they forgot everything. What delicacy is this?
Lin Yan poured the beaten and stirred egg liquid into the pot and stir-fried it a few times. The fresh yellow color was shiny with oil and the aroma was fragrant. It was so tempting.
She felt that her cooking skills had been ignited, and she could cook it so perfectly for the first time, with all the colors, flavors and flavors.
"The scrambled eggs are ready, then stir-fry the shredded pork with green onions, and finally stew the broth."
"Can you eat it?" Ye Cong swallowed hard while looking at the scrambled eggs. He couldn't help it anymore.
Hua Min looked straight at the plate of scrambled eggs, "It's just, it looks so delicious, I can't help it."
Seeing how greedy everyone was, Lin Yan probably couldn't wait until anything else was ready, so he said directly: "Eat, we'll do something else later."
In fact, she couldn't help it herself. This plate of scrambled eggs was so fragrant that anyone who looked at it couldn't help it.
More than a dozen people, a plate of scrambled eggs, each one ate it quickly.
"It's so delicious, I want to eat it again." Shi Zhi blinked and licked his mouth, recalling the feeling of just entering the mouth.
Hua Hong asked Lin Yan to get up and start scrambling eggs. After looking at it again, she already knew how to do it.
Plate after plate of scrambled eggs quickly consumed the basket of wild eggs in Lin Yan's house, leaving more than a dozen people still feeling unsatisfied.
Alan's eyes were brighter than ever when he looked at the iron pot. "This iron pot is so useful and very strong. You don't have to worry about it breaking if you use too much strength."
She also made a plate of scrambled eggs just now, and she couldn't put it down in the iron pot.
Bai Yun felt the same way, "We have to build a smelting plant as soon as possible. Every household needs an iron pot."
Lin Yan also felt the same way. This was an essential foundation for life. A scrambled egg conquered everyone, and they became extremely passionate about the iron pot.
