"This thing is like a ghostly talisman, someone will pay for it!?" Zi Nian held a stack of straw paper in her hand, whispering to the capital while running towards the capital.

When I arrived at the city gate, I passed the routine inspection and stood on the bluestone road paved with people. I looked up and saw crowds of people, hawkers everywhere, tall buildings were stacked, bricks and tiles were all over the place, which was even more prosperous than Xuzhou, and this was just the eastern suburbs of the city...

Zinian was like a child who had just entered the city from the village. He didn't know where to go or where to look. He grabbed a few passers-by and asked where the nearest iron shop was.

But he asked the authentic Jingzhou accent several times, but the other party either didn't understand it, waved his hand and left, but he had only a little understanding, and ran from Dongcheng to Nancheng, but by chance he found an iron shop.

And it was a coincidence that it was the shop that Yan Bing once rented for twenty taels...

At this time, Niu Da, the owner of the shop, was holding the cowhide blowing left by Yan Bing to the stove, while his youngest son, Second Xiao, was rubbing mud balls on the dirt road at the door of the shop, having a lot of fun. The father and son were each busy, and no one noticed this timid young swordsman...

"Take... Daguo, can you shake the pot? Yexue said to Eun's right and Lishu..." (That... brother, do you want this thing? Maybe it will be useful to you...")

Zinian asked with a smile.

Niu Da was also very straightforward and replied three words directly:

"What did you say?"

Zi Nian frowned... She simply pulled out a piece of straw paper from her arms and handed it over...

Niu Da took the straw paper and looked at it, frowned...

He is illiterate!

"Second Xiao! Come here! Show dad what it is written?"

With Niu Da’s meager income, it is obvious that he cannot afford to attend a private school for his children. Fortunately, there is an old scholar over 60 years old living at the entrance of the alley. He often teaches children in the alley to read and read, and the neighbors also give back various objects or copper plates. The old scholar can make a living and the children can receive some education. In this way, some mutually beneficial relationship has been reached between the neighbors.

However, this situation was the most common way in ancient times when there was a serious lack of educational resources.

Er Xiao stood up when he heard this, ran to the water tank and rushed to the water tank, wiped the clothes, and then jumped to Niu Da's approach, took the straw paper and recited loudly, with a proud look on his face.

"First mash the coals, try it with water, and find that those with lots of cokes are gathered into a furnace, seal them around and burn them with a large fire. After half an hour, open them, pour them with clean water, then crush them into slag, grind them into cakes, and ignite them after air drying. The breeze urges them to produce green flames. The strong fire can turn into iron like water, and also turn gold into mud..."

"Hiss..." Niu Da took a breath and shouted repeatedly: "Is there any more!?? Keep reading!"

Erxiao looked at his father with a little blue face, blinked and continued to recite: "After the iron is turned into water, put pig iron debris in the crucible, stir repeatedly, and after it has just melted, pour it into the mud embryo immediately, and you can get something far more than ordinary iron, called steel, Dad... It's time and measurement, so do you have to recite it too?"

"No need! Give the paper to my father, go and play..." Niu Da waved his big hand, which was covered in calluses, lowered his head and fell into deep thought...

It took a long time before he looked up at Zi Nian with a silly smile and asked in a low voice: "How much?"

Zi Nian was about to speak, but was afraid that the other party would not understand what he was saying, so she simply raised three fingers...

"Three! Three hundred taels!??"

Zinian originally wanted three copper coins, but when he heard that he was 300 taels, he was shocked and shook his head desperately with his eyes wide open!

"Three thousand taels??Haha... I don't know whether it's true or not, let alone that I can't even get three hundred taels for this small business, so you'd better..."

Niu Da was about to return the paper, but saw that the other party was still shaking his head desperately!

"Is it... three liang!?" Niu Da held a little luck and plucked the courage to push the price to the limit he could bear.

But the young man in front of him had an extremely entangled expression. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and nodded...

Three liang!??

How could it be sold for only three taels!?? It won't be fake!??

Niu Da frowned, squinted his eyes, and carefully looked at the young man in front of him...

Zi Nian was also confused at this moment, thinking that this thing can be sold for money! And it can be sold for such a high price!??? Three taels of silver!! My God! If you sell this stack of paper, my mother is so rich that she is so rich!!

What the two people thought was unrelated, and the donkey's lips were not in line with each other. Seeing that the deal was about to be ruined, Niu Da, who was unwilling to accept it, still didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he even had a bad idea...

"Hahaha...why not do this? Brother, I will refine a furnace according to this piece of paper. If it is really as said on the paper, I will immediately pay you the money and not say a word!" www.Bayizw.????m

But in fact, what Niu Da was thinking was that no matter whether it is true or false, I just need to practice it once and remember all the processes, and I can save all these three or four!

But Zinian looked up at the sky and thought to herself that when you refine a furnace, it will be dark. When will I sell this stack of straw paper?

So he didn't talk much nonsense, and directly grabbed the straw paper from Niu Da's hand, turned around and left.

The speed of movement is far more than that of ordinary people, but this unintentional move shocked Niu Dashi and dared not hesitate at all!

"Young man stay! I'll get you the money now!"

Seeing the boy stopping and slowly turning around, Niu Da hurriedly took out the small scale and scissors from the cabinet, took out a ingot of broken silver from his arms, and made it all in one go. The speed of the movement was incredible...

A piece of straw paper

Three taels of silver

make a deal!

Niu Da is undoubtedly gambling. What he bets is that since the other party has such skills, he will not make a living by blackmailing money.

His bet was both a win, but he also lost...

Because what he didn't know was that there was still a lot of such straw paper in the boy's arms. By the next day, not only did he make steel, but almost all the blacksmith shops in the city made steel. Although he also made money back in a short time and made great profits, it was far from the honor of "the world's number one blacksmith" he had imagined at the beginning...

After Zinian made the first transaction, his confidence increased greatly. He basically just found a iron shop and took out a piece of straw paper without saying a word.

After seeing the content recorded in this straw paper, the other party was shocked and regarded it as a divine object. After bargaining, they decided to gamble.

Zi Nian gradually figured out the other party's thoughts, and the price also rose and rose again and again. By the time the last one was sold, it had risen from three taels to a full hundred taels of silver...

Zinian was so happy that she cried with the broken silver and thousands of taels of silver in her arms...

I directly found a restaurant with a very good reputation in the capital, ate and drank a lot, and even packed a few of the best dishes and brought them back to my master and senior brothers. I passed by the jewelry stall and bought two more beads...

One is given to Junior Sister Yan Bing as a thank you.

One is given to Senior Sister Lan Xin, it is self-evident...
