Chapter 789 Something Better Than Gold and Silver
The blacksmith took the black stone from Shen Qingci's hand, looked at it for a long time, and then shook his head.
"You don't know what this is?"
Shen Qingci asked in disbelief, could this be a fake blacksmith? She had only seen it once and recognized it, and she didn't know how to strike iron yet.
The blacksmith's face was bitter, "Miss Shen, I really don't know, isn't this gold?"
Shen Qingci took back the black stone, "I feel that no matter how much gold and silver there is, none of it will be useful to you."
"what!"
The blacksmith did not understand, "Why?"
"It's iron ore."
Shen Qingci gave the black stone to the iron ore again, "You will know when you go back and burn it."
"Iron... iron ore?"
The blacksmith almost didn't throw the stone in his hand.
"I heard my grandfather say that his grandfather's grandfather said that the iron came out of the stone. I still didn't believe it before. It turned out to be a stone."
"Haven't you seen it?"
Shen Qing said that he could hear what the blacksmith said.
"No," the blacksmith scratched his head embarrassedly.
"What we use in ironmaking is pig iron, which is left over from the past, and we use it sparingly. Many of our tools are handed down from the family, and they have been used for several generations, and they can't be broken. Bad. Now, it's good to melt it and continue to use it."
He hugged the stone happily, and was not afraid of soiling his clothes. For the people of Dongling, iron ore was indeed dug out, but it was much better than gold and silver. They couldn't spend gold and silver here. It's not as good as Tie Shi, they all farm the land, and they know what is most suitable for Zhuang Married.
And what he can't wait is to train pig iron. Of course, he knows this process. Their ancestors are all blacksmiths, and these are also passed down from generation to generation, just like blacksmithing, not difficult.
When others heard it was iron ore, they were all overjoyed.
"Everyone, dig some out first, be careful."
The village head was busy giving instructions. Now there are fewer stones here. Relatively speaking, they are much softer than those outside. Although they are still hard and difficult to dig, they can be dug manually. The best wealth in their village.
The others also took out their own farming tools and went up to dig iron ore.
The iron ore was dug out piece by piece, and when the blacksmith came over, half crying and half laughing, saying that the iron ore was real, and that pig iron could really be proposed, the more motivated everyone was. All of them are gearing up, just like playing chicken blood, they are not tired.
They will dig what they can, and if they can't, they will fry them again, and then carefully pick out the iron ore. This is a good thing, and it can give you a lot of things, even new agricultural tools. All can be replaced with new iron.
The iron ore was dug piece by piece, and the people of Dongling really lacked these. Even a large piece of fingernail was reluctant to let go. All of them were picked up. Not many, but it can also give a lot of good things to the people in the village, and can leave some for the younger generation, just like the blacksmith said.
This iron is different from other things. He uses it slowly, and the rotten one is also slow. These irons are good enough for them to use for decades.
After it was bombed for about half a month, there seemed to be not much left of the mountain. In the places that were bombed, the villagers also worked diligently to repair the road, and they planned to be very clean every day. Sometimes Shen Qingci felt that , She didn't dare to bomb it any more, for fear that it would blow up the villages and make them dirty again.
