On the morning of May 13th, before the door of Huahong's house opened, there were already many people waiting.
When Huahong opened the door and saw so many people, she was frightened and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Mrs. Shui took the lead and said, "Let's see your iron pot. Let's see what it looks like and what scrambled eggs look like. I know you don't have wild eggs at home, so I brought eggs."
As she spoke, she raised the small basket in her hand so that Huahong could clearly see the wild eggs inside.
One night, the word about the wok-fried eggs with scallions has spread, and all these people came here because of its reputation.
Others come here for the kitchen knife, which is said to be extremely sharp and cuts meat like puree. If such a knife existed, they would all want to own one.
Nowadays, cutting down trees and killing ferocious beasts requires such magical weapons.
Ye Zi was still stunned when he saw the bonus, and reminded loudly: "Everyone comes to your house to see the iron pot and kitchen knives, so just take out the things and let them take a look."
"We are here to learn how to scramble eggs with green onions, and we want to taste the delicious food in this world." Shui Pozi said immediately.
"There are so many people, who can make it for everyone? There are so many eggs and meat, and there are not enough green onions."
Mrs. Shui was stunned and felt that what Ye Zi said made sense. She looked at the people behind her and said, "Just take a look. Green onions are a rare thing. Those planted in the ground haven't grown up yet. You can only eat them when you have the ingredients."
Someone shouted: "Okay, let's just take a look at the kitchen knife and the iron pot."
"Okay, just wait here and we'll go in and get it."
Ye Zi pulled Mrs. Shui into the yard, closed the fence door, and entered the kitchen with Hua Hong.
After a while, Ye Zi carried the iron pot and Mrs. Shui walked to the door with the kitchen knife and showed everyone around through the fence.
When Lin Yan got up, he was stunned when he saw the lively scene in the yard. After listening to it, he knew why these people were here.
She didn't care and went directly to the kitchen.
Hua Hong is washing meat and preparing breakfast. "Get up. Let's eat later. You can eat steamed eggs first."
The pot and kitchen knife were still being watched outside.
"Okay, grandma, I ate the steamed eggs and then went to the laboratory. Grandma will show them how to use the iron pot and kitchen knife at home."
Lin Yan felt that good things should not be kept to oneself. Everyone should be allowed to see the charm of iron pots and kitchen knives, so as to stimulate their desire to mine together.
There will be a huge demand for iron ore in the future, and it won't take long for the first batch to be shipped back.
After Lin Yan left, Huahong made scrambled eggs with green onions from the wild eggs brought by the water woman. The aroma spread far away. It attracted many people to watch.
Everyone in the laboratory arrived, and Lin Yan saw that everyone was busy and working enthusiastically. Last night they witnessed the magic of iron pots and kitchen knives. They all worked hard to earn themselves an iron pot and kitchen knife.
One of Mao Mu and Lin Yun looked at the stove, and the other looked at the furnace. The others had mud on their hands and made a row of iron pots and kitchen knives and clay models.
Hua Min's face was stained with several pieces of mud, and she didn't even bother to wipe it off.
Lin Yan looked silent for a while and couldn't bear to interrupt them, but there were still many things to do. She said: "Mao Mu, Lin Yun, Hua Min and Ye Cong stay here to make iron pots and kitchen knives, one for each person." .The others follow me to the school."
"What are you doing there?" Shi Zhi didn't even raise his head, squeezing the mud in his hand. He thought this job was so interesting.
"Baiyun asked us to help build the smelting plant. We will discuss the site selection and design today and prepare to start construction tomorrow."
When they heard that it was serious business, everyone stopped playing in the mud, packed up and went to school.
Bai Yun and the four others were already waiting, and immediately greeted them enthusiastically when they saw them.
"Lin Yan, you are here, come in quickly."
Bai Yun was all smiles, these children were so lovable.
Lin Yan nodded and looked at the other four people, all of whom he knew. Bai Song, Shi Wen, nine group leaders Huo Yan and Lan Meng.
Bai Yun immediately explained: "I asked them to help me build the smelting plant first."
"Understood, let's get started." Lin Yan didn't waste any words. "First, let's discuss where the smelting plant should be built and how large it should be."
"It can't be too far from the water, and it has to be easy to get soil and mud." Shi Zhi said subconsciously. These are the necessary conditions for ironmaking. "The supply of charcoal and firewood must also be considered."
Huang Ying then said: "It should be chosen below the water flow so as not to pollute the water source. It is best to introduce water from the Sun River or drinking water canal and discharge the used sewage separately."
Bai Chen looked at the sky and said, "The wind direction must also be considered. Burning the furnace will produce a lot of gas. It cannot be blown into the city and affect other people."
Lan Yue: "Stay away from places where people live. The sound of forging weapons will be too noisy in the future."
Hong Ling: "The area must be large, and the shade drying of the clay mold takes up a lot of space. Today's clay molds are discarded after one use. We still have to find a way to make a mold that can be used multiple times."
Shui Sheng: "What everyone said makes sense. The northwest wind often blows here, so the site should be downwind, preferably in the southeast."
…
Bai Yun and the four of them looked at a group of children talking to each other and quickly selected a place to build a smelting plant. They couldn't get a word in at all because they didn't understand a lot of it.
I had known for a long time that these children had changed after taking classes with Lin Yan, but today I saw with my own eyes that I knew that they were truly transformed and knew so much.
Then, they heard Lin Yan's final summary.
She took a charcoal pen to mark on a slate, which was a simplified diagram of Sun City. “It is convenient to use local materials, consider factors such as wind direction, noise and pollution, and combined with the location of Sun City and ground conditions, it is best to build it on Two miles southeast of Sun City is this area. There are relatively few tall trees here and the jungle is low, making it easy to develop."
Then, a group of children looked at Baiyun and the others and asked for their opinions.
Other children had taken out slates and were preparing plans for the smelter.
Baiyun and the others didn't have any opinions. They felt that standing here was redundant.
"You have considered it very comprehensively. It's very good. That's where you chose it." Bai Yun nodded with satisfaction. "Of course, the bigger the smelting plant, the better."
Lin Yan nodded to express his understanding, "Let's first take a look at the population of Sun City. There are only about three thousand young and middle-aged people. They shoulder the heavy responsibility of hunting and have to leave enough manpower for the military, so there can only be five at most. Hundreds of people invested in the smelting plant.”
Hong Ling suggested: "You don't have to be young and middle-aged. They are needed for blacksmithing and forging, but others can also do furnace burning, smelting, and making molds."
"That's right, but it can't be on a large scale. People can't be invested in the smelting plant. There are also wood factories and kiln factories, which require a large number of people."
After intense discussions, the five people from Baiyun watched the entire process and finally determined the scale and drawings of the smelting plant.
They saw with their own eyes that during the discussion, everyone was writing and drawing on the slate with charcoal pencils, and by the time the discussion was over, the drawings were ready.
There is an overall layout of the smelting plant, as well as design drawings of each area. The smelting plant covers an area of about 3,000 square meters, with a length of more than 600 meters from north to south and about 500 meters from east to west. Divide the refining area, smelting area, mold making area, forging area, warehouse and living area.
Bai Yun looked at the dozen or so stone slabs left behind, which clearly showed how to build them, and felt excited.
"You go find someone from the arbitration tribunal immediately and start construction immediately after the report."
The four people in Baisong were also very excited. This was a big project. Once it was completed, they would soon have powerful weapons. After listening to Bai Yun's instructions, he immediately ran out to find someone.
