Work in the forge camp
It’s actually busy and easy!
It is simple because it only requires constant forging and repair, but it is busier than a pharmacy. Countless weapons are delivered one after another, and the coal in the fire is added one after another, which can make people tired. I can't stand up straight.
Although Wei Han's abnormal physique will not make him feel tired.
However, in order not to reveal his strength, he still broke out into a sweat, and then pretended to be tired like others.
"Young man, can you withstand it?" Yan Jingshan took the time to ask.
Wei Han grinned and said nonchalantly: "It's okay. I've been used to it since I was a child. This little job is nothing."
"Um!"
Yan Jingshan smiled with satisfaction.
He still admired this new boy very much.
He has a decent attitude, is diligent, and has an unexpectedly good personality. He is really a good rough diamond and deserves to be carefully polished.
"Okay, everyone stop!"
"Eat first, then continue working after eating!"
In the evening, it was dinner time in the barracks.
Ordinary rebel soldiers can only eat big pot rice with little oil and water, either gruel or steamed buns and pickles. The occasional piece of fat meat is already a rare delicacy.
But the food at the forging camp was surprisingly good.
Seven or eight gang leaders carried several large barrels, which contained not only fragrant white rice, stewed meat, chicken, duck, broth, but also a barrel of medicinal food.
"What? You're shocked, right?" Yan Jingshan laughed when he saw this: "Our forging camp is a bit bitter, but it's just because it's too bitter that we can't eat well but have no energy to work, so our food standards are comparable to ordinary The big-headed soldiers are a hundred times stronger, so you are in luck!"
"Hahaha, come on, Xiaofei eats!"
"When you come to our place, you can eat as much as you want. Don't worry about not being full!"
"That's right. Only when you are full can you have the strength to work. Eat!"
The blacksmiths also spoke cheerfully.
Wei Han smiled innocently without being polite, and directly imitated the others to pick up a basin, scooped up a large basin of rice, then poured various meat dishes and soup into it, and squatted aside to cook the rice.
"fragrant!"
Wei Han praised with satisfaction.
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Everyone is a rough guy and very hungry after a busy day.
Therefore, he was very rude when eating and looking, and when he was squatting, he was like a whirlwind.
But eating like this is really delicious!
This also reminded Wei Han of when he first arrived at Chen's Pharmacy, when many of their apprentices were squatting outside the kitchen cooking rice.
Although the food was not as good as today, it was still enjoyable to eat.
"What does it mean to have a quiet and peaceful time? This is what it means to have a peaceful and peaceful time!"
"It's no big deal for the rebels to cause rebellion. If they can't defeat them, I'll join them."
"Others are always worried for fear of being attacked by soldiers and bandits, so I happily hide in the barracks to learn my trade, take care of food and wages, and don't have to worry about being cannon fodder. It's so cool!"
Wei Han couldn't help but sigh at his shrewdness.
At the same time, his ears perked up, and he habitually listened to the gossips of the people around him, constantly collecting all kinds of information around him.
The blacksmiths are all rough men, and they never talk about women.
When he opens and shuts his mouth, he talks about the same topics as hookups and brothels.
However, Wei Han did hear some good news from it.
A blacksmith with yellow teeth said with a mean smile: "I heard from General Xue Pian yesterday that His Royal Highness Prince Xiao will continue to launch an attack on the county town in the near future. He will occupy more land before the imperial army has time to mobilize. Pay close attention to strengthening the defense line."
"He said that Qingshan County is in a good location and is very suitable to be turned into a granary and logistics supply base. Our forging camp is likely to be stationed here."
"Brothers, if you are still single, don't go to the hook bar every day. There are many women there with many diseases. It is better to spend a little money to marry a daughter-in-law and live a happy life."
This topic has aroused everyone's interest.
"Hahaha, it makes sense. Although domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers, it is still good to have someone who knows how to do laundry and cooking."
"That's right. Although the forging camp is hard work, the monthly income is really quite a lot. It would be good to find a few wives to have babies and carry on the family line."
"Houses in Qingshan County are not expensive. Buying a remote courtyard, marrying a good family, or even looking for a wife is better than going to Goulan!"
The big bosses were talking a lot.
Everyone's eyes sparkled with the longing for happiness.
Wei Han smiled slightly when he saw this. The Cold Weapon Era was one thing better than Blue Star. It really didn't cost much to get a wife.
The people at the bottom are poor, and they can afford a wife if they have a craft. What's more, the blacksmiths in these forging camps are well-paid, and many families who cannot support themselves are willing to marry their daughters to them.
However, the information from their mouths surprised him.
If Qingshan County is really set up as a logistics supply city, then there is no need to mention safety. This is really good news.
"Okay, let's continue working after we've eaten and drank!" Yan Jingshan puffed on his pipe and said angrily: "Just be quick and light the lamp and boil the oil at night and work for two hours. The weapons that are needed in the army recently are It’s a bit much, if you work harder, you can get more money this month!”
"yes!"
The blacksmiths agreed enthusiastically.
After they had eaten and drank enough, they started swinging hammers again.
Blacksmithing is a boring job. They keep beating the red-hot iron blocks to make them look like what they imagined. They create swords, armors, and crossbows one after another.
And Yan Jingshan is also interested!
He picked out some strange-shaped pieces of iron ore from the warehouse, threw them into the furnace and started smelting them.
"Brother Hu, is Mr. Yan going to take action himself?" Wei Han asked the strong man beside him in a low voice.
"No!" the strong man said with a showy smile: "Mr. Yan is still a precious sword. Not only does he supervise the work every day, but he also forges it himself at two hours at night. In the army now, who is above the rank of captain of a thousand men doesn't want to be able to hold a Yan sword? A magical weapon forged by the old man? The people who want the weapon have been waiting until next year!"
"And Mr. Yan didn't just forge ordinary fine steel weapons. Look, what he chose was black iron, meteorite iron, black water heavy iron, and earth mother metal. Each of them is priceless. Ordinary blacksmiths simply can't. Qualified to get started.”
"Not only are these mineral materials rare, but the weapons they create have special effects. They are either as heavy as a thousand kilograms or unstoppable. Some of them are even more captivating and even intimidating."
"oh?"
Wei Han became interested after hearing this.
Can a famous master's weapon deter the strange?
It seems that the forging industry is not easy.
And there are so many ores that Wei Han doesn’t know yet.
His understanding of this industry still needs to be improved.
Yan Jingshan was very skilled in his movements, constantly heating the furnace to smelt the ore, pouring out the molten iron to cool, and then began to forge one by one.
Every blacksmith involuntarily slowed down his movements.
Including Wei Han, everyone's eyes kept drifting towards Yan Jingshan.
“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!”
His movements of pounding the iron block were like art, and every move was natural, giving people a very natural and perfect feeling.
Wei Han watched the old man silently, and suddenly he became very interested in the forging industry.
