Chapter 479 [Jade Pond will have a new name]
"I can't believe it, this is my original knife."
Yu Qingling couldn't put it down, she took a few more knives and praised: "Mr.'s forging method is really wonderful. Although it looks the same as the original one, it just feels much easier to use."
With the weapon in hand, she couldn't help but want to chop something.
Looked around, and after seeking Fang Chang's permission, she brought a few thick bamboos that were drying and stood them on the ground. With a light shake and a slight swing of the knife, several bamboos snapped and scattered on the ground with a few crackling sounds.
"Good knife!" Yu Qingling said.
Then she gestured to Liu Yuande excitedly: "Yuande, try your sword too."
Liu Yuande nodded and stepped forward. With his sword in his hand, he stabbed lightly towards the bamboo poles that Yu Qingling had just erected and had been cut in half.
Several thick bamboo poles were pierced through with a sword.
Then he swung his sword lightly, and the bamboo poles that had been cut in half were only a quarter left.
Seeing that the two were very satisfied with the new weapons, Fang Chang said with a smile: "It's good if you like it. If you are interested, you can name them yourself. I read it in a miscellaneous book before, saying that the sword has become famous, so it will With energy and spirit, it has not been verified, but it does not matter whether it is true or false."
Yu Qingling and Liu Yuande looked at each other and responded with a smile.
Time passed quickly, and it was time to say goodbye in a blink of an eye. The two were about to bid farewell to Fang Chang.
When Yu Qingling and Liu Yuande came to the cliff, they didn't bring anything to salute, but each of them carried a small package and a weapon. The same is true when they are ready to go, simple and chic. Compared with when they were in the rebel army, the prime minister and marshal seemed very free now.
Fang Chang packed up the stove he had just used for forging swords, and walked from the direction of the workshop.
He carried a gold brick in his hand, walked over and handed it to Yu Qingling, pointed to the direction of the work shed and said: "There are mines in Yunzhong Mountain, and I have a lot of gold and silver in my warehouse. I know you are leaving, this gold brick Here it is for you. For ordinary people, the more money the better, living at home must not be without these things."
Yu Qingling took it generously, stuffed it into the package, and then, together with Liu Yuande, thanked Fang Chang and said goodbye.
Fang Chang nodded, waved his hands and said: "Let's go, go down now, you can reach Huqiao Town before evening, you can rest there for one night, and then plan the next trip. Be careful on the road, I hope there will be a period later."
...
The fairy dwelling on the cliff is back to cleanliness.
In the next few days, Fang Chang worked non-stop.
These ordinary and complicated things, sitting up with a detached mentality, is very fun.
Whether it is digging a lake to build a house, watering the fields and weeding, or picking some vegetables, and then simply processing the mature medicinal materials and putting them into bamboo plaques or jade boxes, Fang Chang is very excited. Not bored.
Beside the Nameless Hall, a long corridor was built by Fang Chang, leading directly to the kitchen, and a fork in the road, leading to the cellar and Huanhua Creek.
The kitchen has also been re-covered, and the walls are all built with bricks and stones, which are very strong, but the roof is still bamboo and wood structure, with large logs as beams, covered with bamboo sheets, covered with straw mats, and covered with mud and tiles on the straw mats. piece.
Fang Chang is in the kitchen, and built a large stove with two or three fire holes on it, and part of it can be closed at any time.
The long chimney points directly upwards. When it is officially used, it must have a strong firepower, which is very suitable for frying.
He also made a stove for his big iron pot, with a bellows next to it. In addition, there is a small stove for slow cooking.
In this way, the kitchen has a lot of functions.
Fang Chang broke open the wooden boards, and built a long dish rack against a wall, covered with a cloth to prevent dust from entering.
He also reserved a hole to connect the bamboo canal.
After returning from Nanping Mountain, Fang Chang imitated the bamboo canal he had built for Nanping Mountain, and also paved a bamboo canal on the Xianqi Cliff, but it was less used later and it was a little decayed. As for my usual water, I also like to go to streams and lakes, or fetch water from Lingjian Spring, and put it in the water tank in the kitchen.
Now, he replaced the old bamboo, rebuilt the bamboo canal and led it directly into the kitchen.
The source of water is Lingjian Spring, and the water quality is better than that in the lake in the stream.
Clean water flows from the bamboo canal, through the holes in the wall, directly into the kitchen, splashes out from a water outlet, splashes into the small pool below, and then flows into the kitchen along the reserved gutter. In Jasper pond.
This is not only a water intake, but also a sewer.
There are pure natural organic items in the kitchen. The carp, lotus and various other creatures in the Jasper Pond can be completely eliminated without leaving any traces. All the substances that flow into the Jasper Pond from the sewer.
But soon, Biyutang can no longer be called Biyutang.
Fang Chang chose a direction and planned to expand the area of Biyutang. When Liu Yuande and Yu Qingling were there, they dug some with Fang Chang, but they were mortals after all, so they were not fast.
Now that only Fang Chang himself is left, he let go of his hands and feet instead.
The heavy cast iron shovel waved in his hand like a windmill. The soil and gravel rushed to the side like running water as if they had encountered a conveyor belt, and gradually piled up into small hillocks. Gradually, a large pit with an area several times larger than Biyutang appeared in the open space of Xianqi Cliff.
Because of encountering rocks, Fang Chang also changed the pickaxe behind him, smashing the rocks to pieces and sparks flying everywhere. With the rapid wear of the iron pickaxe, the Jasper pond firmly expanded on the rocky ground.
He reserved a thin layer and did not completely connect with Biyutang.
This is because the area of the new water storage part is too large. If it is suddenly connected, it is easy to drop the original water level to a fraction, then the fish and shrimp inside will be fine, and the lotus will definitely be destroyed. So after Fang Chang felt that the excavation was done, he just opened a small hole from above the thin embankment.
After rushing out of the waterfall on the edge of the cliff, the momentum suddenly became much smaller.
The water flowed into the newly excavated pond, and it was a little muddy for a while, but after the water from Huanhuaxi filled the big pit, the water inside had returned to clarity.
When the two water surfaces are connected together, Biyutang will get its own new name: Biyu Lake.
Fang Chang took off his coat, rolled up his trouser legs, and dug out most of the embankment, leaving only a place in the middle of the lake. Then he piled the soil and stones he had dug up in the middle of the lake, making it look like a small island.
Next, he plans to build an arch bridge leading from the shore to the center of the lake, and then build a pavilion in the middle of the small island, place stone tables and benches in the center of the pavilion, transplant a few trees around the pavilion, and plant two rows of flower.
