Chapter Thirty-Two: Negotiating House Repairs

Ye Qingge got up late today. She had no choice but to ask her to carry a sack and do bad things all night.

"Miss, those guests from yesterday will probably be here soon!" Lan'er saw Ye Qingge getting up and stepped forward and said.

"Well, I understand."

Ye Qingge knew that the people Lan'er was talking about were Manager Zhang and Tiejiang Zhao. They originally made an appointment to come yesterday, but then they went to the Jiaozi Hall and were delayed, so they made the appointment today.

"Is there anyone there?" A quarter of an hour later, Manager Zhang came over with Blacksmith Zhao.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry about what happened yesterday!!" Seeing Vanilla bringing Manager Zhang in, Ye Qingge went to apologize.

"It's okay." Manager Zhang replied with a smile.

"Miss, I brought the sample drawings here today, and I also asked Blacksmith Zhao to come with me as you asked. Do you think what needs to be fixed?" Manager Zhang also brought two accompanying boys with him today, and Ye Qing.

Song pointed out the blacksmith, and the boy carried several large brochures and some wood samples behind his back, which were all used for selection.

Ye Qingge took the brochure and read it for a while and said: "Guanshi Zhang must have looked at the houses here, so I just said it directly, the drawings above you don't have what I want. This is a drawing I drew. Manager Zhang can

Take a look at the drawing." Ye Qingge said and handed the drawing he drew the night before to Manager Zhang.

"I still have some iron tools that need to be made here, and I also drew them together." Ye Qingge gave Blacksmith Zhao the drawings of the water tank, the exploded view of the water pump, the kitchen utensils and other things that needed to be made.

.

"Okay!" The two of them got the picture and quickly looked at it.

After half a stick of incense, the two of them were still motionless and silent, just frowning and looking at the pictures. Later, Manager Zhang filled the yard with the pictures and looked at them, while Blacksmith Zhao took a wooden stick and drew on the ground.

Draw away.

"Miss, did you draw this drawing? We have never made a house with a style like yours. It seems simple, but the interior is very delicate." After a stick of incense, Manager Zhang spoke.

"What are the pipes above you and the small compartments in the house used for?" Manager Zhang was very confused about the pipes and barrels painted next to him. He had never seen several compartments and strange cabinets in the house before.

Did it.

Blacksmith Zhao on the side was even more dumbfounded. Every drawing Ye Qingge gave him was clearly drawn, but the shape was something he had never seen before. Some of them required fine iron to be made, and he couldn't make them.

"Miss, your drawings are really ingenious. Although I can print out most of them, these require fine iron to be made. I can't make them. Only the legendary Tang Sect in the entire Jiuzhou Continent can make fine iron.

That’s it.” Blacksmith Zhao pointed at several patterns on the picture and said truthfully.

Ye Qingge understood that the fine iron that Blacksmith Zhao mentioned should be the best iron that could be made in this place. Of course, being able to make fine iron depends on good smelting and forging techniques. Ye Qingge remembered learning from high school textbooks in his previous life, China

The development of iron smelting technology is very advanced.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the softening treatment technology of cast iron was invented, which was a major achievement in the history of iron smelting in the world, more than 2,000 years earlier than in Europe. In the Western Han Dynasty, with the advent of blast furnace ironmaking and steel frying technology, coal became a major factor in iron smelting.

Using fuel, people also invented quenching technology; in the Eastern Han Dynasty, low-temperature steelmaking technology was invented and promoted. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, steelmaking technology was quite mature, and steel-filling technology was invented to combine pig iron and wrought iron into steel.

Law.

But no matter how advanced ancient technology is, there are still many problems. For example, it is difficult to smelt alloys. Even for ordinary titanium steel, it is difficult to solve the problems of impurity removal and deformation caused during the rolling process.

"Then how do you smelt and forge now?" Ye Qingge wanted to know where the country's smelting and forging has reached now.

The few people chatted for a while, and through Zhang Tiejiang's description, Ye Qingge probably understood that the blowers they currently use are still mainly human-powered, but they have already used sacks, but compared to the animal-powered discharge method of Nankang Kingdom, it is still

It's a big step away.

Their smelting and forging technology mainly uses shaft furnace ironmaking and steel frying technology, which is relatively advanced. In particular, blast furnace ironmaking is the main method of modern ironmaking. It is based on the development and improvement of ancient shaft furnace ironmaking.

of.

The most advanced forging process uses steel-making technology. It is based on the fried steel technology. When people are making utensils, they consciously increase the number of folding and forging. A piece of steel often needs to be burned, beaten, and beaten.

Burning is repeated many times, even hundreds of times, so it is called hundreds of steelmaking.

Steelmaking has more carbon content, a finer structure, and more uniform composition, so the quality of the steel has improved. However, the production is more difficult, requires a lot of labor, and has low output. Therefore, it is mainly used to make swords and swords. But the entire Yunlan Kingdom

Only the Tang family has mastered the steel-making technology, which ordinary blacksmiths cannot do.

"Then you make what can be forged first, and I will teach you how to make the rest." Ye Qingge said, according to the description, she can completely improve the current smelting and forging technology.

"Miss, do you know how to smelt and forge?" After listening to Ye Qingge's words, Blacksmith Zhao found it incredible that a young lady who never leaves home can also smelt? Isn't this a boast!

"I can!" Ye Qingge replied firmly.

"Then can you teach me how to make all the objects on the drawing?" Blacksmith Zhao asked doubtfully.

"Of course, the purpose of teaching you is to create these things."

"Miss, not everyone can do smelting and forging. I suggest you contact the people in the Tang Sect and let them help you make it!" Manager Zhang said kindly.

He didn't mean to be sarcastic, he simply felt that it was impossible for the little girl in front of him to do it, and just wanted to give him a kind reminder.

Of course Ye Qingge also understood what he meant.

"Let's do this. I will go to your shop tomorrow to help you improve the equipment and teach you how to build it. You can practice the methods I teach you on the spot." Ye Qingge feels that instead of convincing here, it is better to speak with facts.

.

"Okay, if the method you taught me can be made tomorrow, I won't charge you this time, and everything you order in the future will be free of charge." Although Tiejiang Zhao didn't believe it, he was still willing.

Give it a try.

In this way, the blacksmithing aspect is solved, and the only thing left is the house.

Ye Qingge then chatted with Manager Zhang about the details on the drawing and what Manager Zhang was confused about. Manager Zhang also kept showing expressions of wonder.

However, Manager Zhang’s business ability is still very strong. He understands everything Ye Qingge said and will give specific operation methods. Manager Zhang also adds some things that Ye Qingge can’t think of at any time, such as Dilong’s approach. Manager Zhang

He gave very good advice.

After talking about the drawings, it’s time to start the detailed construction. Because Ye Qingge is in a hurry to renovate, the construction is scheduled to start tomorrow. The existing houses will be demolished and rebuilt, so a temporary resting place will be built tomorrow. Ye Qingge chose this place.

Built behind the existing kitchen.

As for the cost, prices in the capital were relatively high, and this time it was considered a new building. In the end, Steward Zhang required one hundred and twenty taels of silver, including repairing the house and purchasing furniture.

The entire construction period took two months according to normal construction, but Manager Zhang learned a lot from Ye Qingge, and finally took it upon himself to dispatch twice as many people to build the project. It is expected to be completed within a month at no extra cost.

Ye Qingge only paid fifty taels, and the rest of the money will be handed over after the house is completed. It's not that she doesn't trust Manager Zhang, it's just because she has no money. She got thirty taels from selling medicine, and the emperor rewarded her with flowers on the way.

I bought a lot, but only thirty taels were left. I gave Vanilla another ten taels, and I really had no money.

It seems that she has to find a job quickly to make money to pay off her debts. She won't be able to survive for long just selling medicines and sitting on her own.

It was almost noon after the few people finished chatting. Ye Qingge invited them to stay for dinner, but they insisted on leaving. Ye Qingge immediately sent them out and made an appointment to go to Blacksmith Zhao's shop tomorrow to conduct on-site experiments on smelting.
