Chapter 313 [What's New in Long'an Mansion]
The sunlight coming in through the glass window soon became dim and slanted, and night fell again. At this time, Fang Chang got up from the bed and returned the book to the bookshelf.
Although the road to practice is long, it is very leisurely. All the time belongs to me, and I can do whatever I want. It's also free and easy, but the only thing worth thinking about is that the world is not peaceful today, and I don't know if there is room for a quiet dining table.
In the following days, considering that winter is approaching, but the time to go to the East China Sea is not fixed, so he did not store food and fuel, but ate a lot of food stored in the cellar.
Such as bacon, salted fish, air-dried birds, air-dried vegetables, pickled vegetables, as well as the grain harvested in the past few years, and the fruit wine brewed, Fang Chang cooked openly and consumed most of it. At the same time, after saving the stored sorghum for seeds, he processed the rest and put them in altars for fermentation, steamed them in a cage on a tripod, condensed them out with bamboo tubes, and stored them in a newly dug cave in the back mountain.
There is never a shortage of firewood in Yunzhong Mountain. Fang Chang just walked around the mountain with a basket on his back and an ax for a few days. He filled up the fuel storage houses on Xianqi Cliff and erected tall firewood beside it. pile. Coal has also been transported back from the mountains with Fang Chang, and the stock is getting bigger and bigger.
In his spare time, he even turned on the furnace to burn charcoal twice, and tried to build a kiln to make coke.
The original charcoal kiln is not suitable for this kind of use, because the temperature of the kiln for burning charcoal is high, and the kiln wall is easy to burn down. Therefore, Fang Chang could only use a relatively primitive method to try to smelt coal into coke, but the experimental results were mediocre.
As for the iron ore, Fang Chang only chooses the part with the best quality. After returning, he also passes through the water to wash away the floating dust and stone powder. At least the ones piled on the Xianqi Cliff have very high iron content, so it is inevitable to smelt them. It won't be difficult.
Fang Chang planned to start the furnace to make iron when he came back from the mountain this time.
At least, I have to get myself an iron pot.
Going down the mountain so many times, Fang Chang has seen many ways and appearances of food, and learned a lot of delicious food, but often after returning, he finds that there is no suitable tool, so there is no way to reproduce it on the cliff.
After all, it is difficult to make too many delicacies with only a bronze Dafang Ding.
The bottom of the bronze tripod is too square and too flat, so it is not suitable for cooking, but only for stewing. As for turning the tripod upside down is not a problem, Fang Chang doesn't lack that bit of strength, so he can do it casually.
Then there are various tools that need to be upgraded, such as various shovels, saws, hoes, hammers, chisels, axes, etc. hanging in the shed... After turning into iron, they will have better performance than before. Will save more effort.
But Fang can't do this for a long time.
In the spiritual sense, the time to go down the mountain is in these few days.
This time, after Fang Chang left Xianqi Cliff, he headed east all the way to the East China Sea to have a look, to find the location of the Qinglong Hall of the monsters. If he finds Qinglongtang and the time is right, he will take it out.
In this way, it will be possible to cut off the channels for the enemies to replenish their manpower to the Central Plains, to make up for their current biggest shortcoming, and to slow down and block all their intentions—after all, no matter how good the plan is, it must be considered whether there are enough manpower to implement it.
…………
Fang Chang went down the mountain very fast.
So Fang Chang opened the gate of the fence, and put the chickens in it in the mountains beside Xianqi Cliff. As for whether it is necessary to capture the two laying hens and one dawn chicken again when he comes back again, it is up to him. Time to talk.
He was dressed in white, with a gourd hanging around his waist, no bamboo hat on his head, but a simple silver hairpin. He was carrying a green cloth backpack on his back, which fits very well, and it is much more convenient to take things out of it, and there is no need to take out the wrapped side of the package and reprocess it.
Looking over the cliff at last, Fang Chang turned around and jumped off the edge of the cliff.
The eagles on the edge of the cliff and the group of monkeys in the forest watched the human's actions with great interest, but after communicating with each other, they already understood that there would be nothing wrong with this person jumping off, so it was just for fun.
Falling down from the cliff is much, much faster than walking from the edge of the cliff to the plank road, and then going down step by step.
The little dust that rose gradually settled, Fang Chang stood on the ground with his knees bent, and looked at the small pool that was rushed out of the waterfall next to him. The water in the pool is very clear, there are turtles swimming around, it is very lively, this is the species that Fang Chang brought back from the Nanmian River before, it seems that they have adapted well to this place so far. .
He tightened the straps of his backpack, and strode towards the east outside the mountain.
Fang Chang's speed is not too fast, after all, they didn't go all out, but just used the usual speed, which was faster than ordinary people, along the official road.
The weather is getting colder. After several autumn rains, people around are wearing robes to keep out the wind.
Because it has not really turned into winter, and it is the slack season at this time, so there are a lot of people traveling from south to north during this period. Many of them are people who have taken care of their family affairs and have some spare money. They start to go out to visit relatives, or go to the city to play.
Going out naturally cannot avoid various things, so in the process of traveling, it is inevitable to promote the economy of various places. This has led to prosperity in many parts of the world, but in the context of the general decline of the world, it seems a bit false.
The appearance of Long'an Mansion has not changed much, but after Fang Chang entered the city, he found something very different from last time.
There is a business name with a striking signboard, standing in a conspicuous place.
The crowds around are surging, it seems that they are all queuing up here, not knowing what they are doing. Although Fang Chang has excellent hearing and can hear the things clearly, he still grabbed a passerby and asked:
"This old man, I just came to Long'an Mansion, I don't know what's going on here?"
The middle-aged man who was stopped was a little impatient at first, but after seeing Fang Chang's appearance and hearing Fang Chang's question, he subconsciously felt very close, so his attitude instantly became kind.
The middle-aged man pointed and replied:
"My brother came from afar, right? Everyone knows about the things around here. If you have lived around Long'an Mansion for a long time and don't know about it, it will be a waste of your time."
Fang Chang accepted the trick, satisfied the vanity of the other party, and asked with a smile:
"So, what's the good thing inside? Please help me explain my doubts."
