Chapter 48 Gift of Sword
"The owner of the village! The owner of the village!"
The steward of Hidden Sword Villa hurried over, steam still coming from his bald head, "Good steel, good steel!"
You Longsheng put down his tea cup, turned around and asked, "You're out of steel so soon?"
The bald steward nodded repeatedly and was about to speak when he saw Ding Chengfeng and Ding Baiyun and stopped immediately.
Ding Chengfeng laughed and was about to leave the table, but You Longsheng raised his hand to hold him down and said to the bald steward, "I am a wealthy man from the Ding family in Hebei. I haven't seen anything before, so keep talking."
Ding Chengfeng smiled after hearing this and sat down peacefully. Ding Baiyun also curled his lips and looked at the bald steward.
The bald steward said, "The steel is being produced. The craftsmen built the furnace overnight. Everyone is experienced in making iron. They quickly figured out what was going on. Good steel came out of the first furnace. Everyone said that you are the master of the village." It’s like turning stone into gold!”
"I accept this compliment. If I can't afford to eat in the future, I will go to the streets and perform arts to make a living." You Longsheng joked casually, "But the quality of the stainless steel produced by this method varies, and it needs to be carefully controlled. "
"I know, I know!" The bald steward nodded in agreement, "A furnace of steel was produced this morning. Master Duan personally controlled it. He said it was the best steel we have not produced in ten years."
"Master Duan will take action, so I will naturally feel relieved. However, Master Duan is also old. Let him bring out a few more apprentices and let him rest more."
You Longsheng nodded, "Reward the craftsmen who work hard with more money, don't be stingy."
"Okay! Don't worry, owner, our Hidden Sword Villa is famous for its treatment in a radius of 1,800 miles!" The bald steward nodded repeatedly and retreated quickly.
You Longsheng turned around and smiled at Ding Chengfeng, "My biggest gain this time in the world is that I accidentally learned an iron-making method that can produce good steel, which is suitable for my Hidden Sword Villa."
Ding Chengfeng smiled and said, "Congratulations on Hidden Sword Villa getting to the next level again."
Of course You Longsheng is talking nonsense. Where did he get the iron-making method? It is the small blast furnace method of steel-making in later generations.
He didn't bring an intelligent system when he traveled through time, nor did he bring back a set of encyclopedias. As an ordinary social creature, he didn't have that much professional knowledge.
But I still understand some of the most basic common sense and principles, such as coke, small blast furnace, and indigenous steelmaking. After all, it is more convenient and faster than the most primitive steelmaking, right?
So in the process of reviewing and handling the affairs of the Hidden Sword Villa, he roughly sorted out these things and handed them over to the manager of the Villa who was responsible for iron smelting and asked him to lead the craftsmen to try it out.
It looks like the results are pretty good!
So You Longsheng, who was in a good mood, had another sword showdown with Ding Chengfeng.
…
In the next few days, You Longsheng took Ding Chengfeng and Ding Baiyun around in Taihang, Shanxi Province. Compared with the Loess Plateau, which suffers from serious water and soil erosion, although there is not much water in the Taihang Mountains in Shanxi, the mountain scenery is still good. .
The two of them stayed at Hidden Sword Villa for seven days. Seeing that the New Year was approaching, they were ready to say goodbye and leave.
"In the spring of next year, please invite Brother You to Ding's house as a guest!" Ding Chengfeng cupped his hands and invited, "Let's walk together, and the road will be more lively."
After a few days, although You Longsheng kept his words, he was recognized by Ding Chengfeng regardless of his character or martial arts. As he said, there were only a few sober-minded people in the world like him and Li Xunhuan.
Ding Chengfeng is a rare normal person in Gu Long's novels. In the end, he was willing to die on his sister's behalf. You Longsheng was naturally willing to make this friend.
But Ding Baiyun...
Ding Baiyun glanced sideways at Ding Chengfeng, "Walking with him, do you want to fight the person he is angry with all the way, or do you want to sleep all the way from the brothel?"
Ding Chengfeng smiled bitterly.
In the past few days, You Longsheng took them around to eat and drink, and of course he also saw many fights between martial arts people who disagreed with each other.
Ding Chengfeng didn't know why You Longsheng liked to watch those kind of unskilled martial arts competitions. He ate peanuts and drank wine, and commented on Gonghuo from time to time. Many people in the world were angry and used swords against them.
Then he took him to the brothel. Of course, Ding Chengfeng didn't mind this. He was also a suave young swordsman and learned many famous lines from You Longsheng.
"I want to ask for a way, how can I get to your heart?"
"You are too much, too beautiful, too charming!"
"I'm sure of everything I do. The one thing I'm not sure of is your kiss."
"I am actually a carefree man, and I spend all my time on you."
But the problem is, Ding Baiyun actually followed. The look in the eyes of You Longsheng and Ding Chengfeng was like looking at two scumbags with knives in their eyes. As a result, they couldn't spend the night in the brothel, so they could only stay there. Several top brothels left with reluctant eyes.
"Actually, Brother You is not that kind of person." Ding Chengfeng explained, but his confidence was slightly lacking.
Ding Baiyun nodded, "I know, of course he is not that kind of person. He has slept with the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world, how can he like those vulgar fans?"
You Longsheng clapped his hands and laughed, "That's right. I am the man who has slept with the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world. Most women want to sleep with me, but they don't have the qualifications!"
Ding Chengfeng, "..."
Ding Baiyun looked at Ding Chengfeng, "Go home quickly, your parents should be anxious."
"Okay, okay, back to back." Ding Chengfeng nodded repeatedly.
Ding Chengfeng was about to say goodbye to You Longsheng when he saw You Longsheng turning around and waving, and Duan Qian and Feng Wan walked over holding a sword box.
"A few days ago, a furnace of good steel was produced, so I asked the craftsmen in the villa to make a few swords." You Longsheng said, "It's almost the New Year, and the villa doesn't have any special products. One sword for each person, Brother Ding and Miss Ding, please don't despise it."
Ding Chengfeng, who already regarded You Longsheng as a friend, laughed and took the sword box. "Then I won't be polite!"
Ding Baiyun pouted, but still took the sword box. His eyes turned around You Longsheng and he thanked him indifferently.
...
After bidding farewell to You Longsheng, Ding Chengfeng and Ding Baiyun rode one by one and headed east.
"Little sister, Brother You is just a bit quick-witted, he is not a bad person. I know you always look down on those dandies, but Brother You is not that kind of person. He is proud and never bullies the weak after a few days of getting along. He is very kind to the servants of the villa and ordinary people..."
Ding Chengfeng was talking to Ding Baiyun earnestly, and when he turned around, he saw Ding Baiyun riding a horse while opening the sword box in his hand.
Ding Chengfeng, "..."
Ding Baiyun opened the sword box and saw a long sword with a white scabbard lying quietly in the sword box. The hilt and the guard were decorated with beautiful soft cloud patterns. It was obviously a sword for ladies.
Ding Baiyun drew the sword and saw the three words "Baiyun Sword" engraved on the blade near the hilt. The blade was like water and the cold light was like a waterfall.
"Good sword!"
Ding Chengfeng didn't have the time to talk about Ding Baiyun. He hurriedly opened his sword box and took out the sword that You Longsheng gave him.
Chasing Wind Sword!
In his sword box, there was a note left by You Longsheng.
Ding Chengfeng read, "The wind has no form, the cloud is impermanent, the wind and the cloud combine, Maha is immeasurable.
Brother You has great literary talent!"
