“Mm-hmm.” Liu Yiqiu nodded, put down the blower in his hand and stood up.

She picked up the clay bowl and held the meat, tried to control the trembling hand to flatten the clay bowl, and then picked up the meat and stuffed it in her mouth, also very hungry.

Ten minutes later, Liu Yiqiu sat back in her seat and replaced Liu Yimeng.

“Excited heart, trembling hands.” Liu Yimeng couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then quickly picked up the pottery bowl and ate the meat in a big mouthful.

Her hand holding the pottery bowl was shaking constantly, and she was obviously tired.

Chu Feng pursed his mouth, thinking in his heart whether he would give the third daughter a relaxing moment tonight.

Soon Liu Yimeng finished his lunch, drank a cup of honey water, sat back in his position, and urged on the side: “Chu Feng, you go to eat.” ”

“Okay.” Chu Feng answered casually, and slowly stopped after waiting for the fire in the blast furnace to stabilize.

He got up and poured the meat from the steel pot into the clay bowl, just full of bowls.

After such a long time, the meat was no longer hot, Chu Feng pulled the chopsticks, ate all the meat in several large bites, and then sat down to rest for a few minutes and then picked up the blower again.

Time passed slowly, the sky gradually darkened, the fire in the blast furnace was still very large, at this time the second layer of clay pots was red, and the iron sand inside had melted into a liquid state.

Chu Feng glanced at the clay pot in the blast furnace, and then said in a deep voice, “Yun Xin, go and bring the abrasives.” ”

“Okay.” Yun Xin hurriedly put down the blower in his hand, got up and trotted upstairs, and in a short while he came down with a long strip of wood, which was a pouring abrasives.

The wood has been treated, and one side has been dug out of the grooves, which is the shape of a wood knife, which will be shallower on the side of the blade, and it will save a lot of effort when opening the blade later.

“Chu Feng, is it okay?” Liu Yiqiu gasped and asked.

“Hmm.” Chu Feng answered softly, and the movement in his hand stopped.

“Finally.” Liu Yimeng also stopped, and the whole person lay directly on the ground as if he had lost his strength, and his hands no longer had the strength to do anything else.

“Next it’s time to pour.” Chu Feng had a serious face, found two wooden sticks to soak I wet, and when the fire in the blast furnace became smaller, he extended the wooden stick into the blast furnace, clamped I into the clay pot accurately and steadily, and then carefully moved the clay pot out of the blast furnace.

The stick holding the clay pot was quickly ignited by the heat, and he quickly put the clay pot down, turned around and moved the other clay pot out in the same way.

Chu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and then clamped the clay pot with a wooden stick again, controlling it to be dumped, and pouring the molten iron inside into the wooden abrasives, followed by the molten iron in another clay pot, which was also poured in.

“Nourishing ~~”

As soon as the molten iron touched the wooden mold, it immediately made a noise of moisture, and then the wooden mold was ignited and began to burn.

“Sure enough, the wood is not resistant to high temperatures, so quench it directly.” Chu Feng let out a long sigh, avoided the flames on the wood with both hands, carefully picked up the hot wood abrasives, turned around and came to the stream, and then threw the abrasives into the water without hesitation.

“Nourishing ~~”

As soon as the abrasive was immersed in the water, a large amount of white smoke suddenly appeared, and then the water surface continued to bubble, as if it was boiled, and the noise of nourishment was constantly heard.

“Chu Feng, is this really okay?” Yun Xin asked with some concern.

“That’s the only way to do it right now.” Chu Feng said helplessly.

If the molten iron is not cooled down as soon as possible, the mold will be burned, and then the molten iron will flow out and waste, and more importantly, after the molten iron is cooled, it will not be the appearance of the wood knife, which means that it will need to be reheated, and then the iron forging will be carried out to re-hit the shape of the wood knife, which will be more troublesome.

The bubbles on the surface of the water lasted for two or three minutes before they disappeared, and through the clear stream, you could see the wooden mold lying quietly at the bottom of the water.

“Chu Feng, can you fish it up?” Liu Yiqiu asked softly.

“Wait, there’s no rush.” Chu Feng said warmly, it is best to use ice water for quenching, but there is no current, but the effect of flowing stream water should not be bad.

He waited a few more minutes, then carefully rolled up his pants and fished the water under his feet, bending down to catch the wooden abrasives under the water.

Liu Yimeng quickly got up and came over, asking expectantly, “How?” Success? ”

“Just knock it out and see.” Chu Feng pursed his mouth, and his heart was also very nervous.

He picked up the wooden abrasive and in turn aimed it at the stone and struck it hard.

“Click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click,

After the crackling sound was heard, a black iron block in the shape of a wood knife fell off the wooden mold, landed on the stone and then slid to the ground, making a sonorous sound unique to iron tools.

Chu Feng looked at the inside of the wooden abrasives, which had been carbonized.

He casually threw the mold away, bent down and tried to touch the dark iron block, and found that it was still a little warm, but within the range that the human body could bear.

Chu Feng picked up the iron block in his hand and swept it, the weight was about five or six pounds, which was much heavier than the lost chai knife, and the volume was also a full circle larger.

The iron blocks in the shape of a wooden knife are concave and convex on both sides, and there is a soybean-sized concave I and convex I rise, which looks like the surface of the moon.

This is because after the wood abrasive is carbonized, the molten iron penetrates into it and causes unevenness, but fortunately, the blade is still very smooth, and then it can be used by simply opening the blade.

“Looks good.” Chu Feng said satisfactorily, the handle of this chai knife will be longer, it will be more comfortable to hold, and the increase in weight will be a good thing for him, and it will be more convenient to use.

“I’ll see.” Yun Xin couldn’t wait to open his mouth, reached out and took the chai knife in Chu Feng’s hand, and then his hands sank, almost not holding the handle of the sword.

“Be careful, don’t hit your feet.” Chu Feng hurriedly reminded.

“It’s so heavy, I can’t move.” Yun Xin bit I’s lower lip and said depressedly, shaking my hand and hurriedly returning the chai knife to Chu Feng.

“Chu Feng, don’t you need to strike iron?” Liu Yiqiu looked at the dark iron block, but he was weak in his heart when he wanted to see it, and his hands could no longer be raised.

“Well, these steps will be omitted, the conditions are not allowed.” Chu Feng said helplessly.

The steps of normal ironmaking are divided into several processes, including continuous heating, tempering, and quenching, so that the impurities inside can be removed, and the forged iron will be harder.

But now in the wilderness, it is not easy to calcin iron sand into iron blocks.

“It’s not easy to make iron, so don’t care about the details.” Liu Yimeng nodded in agreement, if she warmed up and forged again, she would faint on the spot.
