Chapter 254 Smelting
Fortunately, these three people still had a conscience and took a comfortable hot bath leisurely, with the faint fragrance of chrysanthemums all over their bodies.
They all tacitly stopped torturing her and slept peacefully.
The next day, I got up refreshed and stood at the entrance of the cave, taking a deep breath of fresh air.
Looking at the bright sunshine, I felt so good.
I plan to go and see how their charcoal kiln is progressing.
Luo Bai and Xuan Feng accompanied him, especially Luo Bai, who now liked the most about following her closely.
After all, when things here are almost done, he will go to the Tao tribe, and by then You Ran might have to separate from him again.
Be as affectionate as possible now, so that you won’t have no good memories in the long nights later.
Mu Youran looked at the cave. The entrance was not very big and the walls inside were rammed solid.
It’s almost time to start firing.
Mu Youran looked at the empty space next to him, which was filled with firewood. "Throw all this firewood into the cave."
Long Yin raised his hand and waved, and everyone started moving. The guards around were very curious about what this cave could be used for.
Even Lei Yi, who had seen a cave before, was curious. This cave was different from the one in the Sunset Tribe. It was much smaller than that one, and the entrance was also much smaller.
Soon, the room was filled with firewood. Mu Youran walked aside and made way: "Light the fire."
As the main craftsman here, Lei Yi was a little puzzled when he heard You Ran's words.
"Just in this hole?"
Mu Youran nodded: "Yes, right here, you can order."
Lei Yi was a little nervous, feeling that something was not right. When he was firing pottery in the Sunset Tribe before, the flame and the pottery were separate.
That should be the case when making charcoal, but the place is just filled with wood.
However, since You Ran said so, he did as he was told.
He walked to the entrance of the cave and threw in a small flame, and soon it started burning rapidly.
Mu Youran looked at the situation inside and said, "Hurry up and mix some mud. We'll need to block the hole later."
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Lei Yishu was familiar with this. When firing the kiln in the past, he would also mix mud to seal the hole.
He quickly called Niu Li and Niu Er to come along, and also to find some large stones.
Hu Ben looked at the blazing flames curiously: "How long will this burn?"
Mu Youran: "It doesn't need to be cooked through, just enough to cook it."
If you burn it too much, it will just be a pile of ash and no charcoal at all.
The cave was not big, and soon most of the firewood inside had been carbonized. Lei Yi and his men immediately sealed the cave entrance.
"Remember, this hole must be sealed properly, otherwise all your efforts will be in vain."
Lei Yi nodded. He knew this. To be on the safe side, he sealed it with two layers, and then he felt relieved.
"What's next?"
To be honest, this is the first time that You Ran has made these things by himself. He only made charcoal once when he went to the mountains with his grandfather when he was a child.
"Wait three days, and when it's cool inside, start the kiln again."
"Lei Yi, go to the Tao tribe and find Wu Yun to bring back some special items."
Long before Wuyun set out for the Tao tribe, Youran told her what to make and drew pictures of them all on sheepskin.
Although Wuyun is not very good at making pottery, she is very experienced in the early stage of screening the soil.
Moreover, a tribe as large as the Tao tribe has no shortage of people who can pinch and dig.
The reason it was so bad before was simply because the clay was not chosen properly.
When Lei Yi and the others hurried back from the Tao tribe, it was time to open the kiln.
Mu Youran stood nervously at the entrance of the cave. She hoped that she would succeed this time!
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the entrance of the cave was kicked open by Lei Yi!
Mu Youran ran over excitedly and saw the black, intact charcoal inside at a glance!
Excitedly, he reached out and took out one: "It's done!"
Long Yin, Luo Bai, Xuan Feng and others came over and looked at what she was holding with great curiosity.
“Is this charcoal?”
"It feels no different from what's left after a normal fire." Luo Bai felt very familiar with this thing.
Not only him, but all the orcs present felt the same way. They were wondering, does something like this need to be specially made with such fanfare?
There are so many people here, and they have to barbecue every night, so they can cook a lot of things like this in one night.
Mu Youran quickly filled a basket and handed each of them a small piece with a smile: "This is different. If you don't believe me, try touching it."
Xuan Feng weighed it in his hand: "It's heavier than what we usually make by burning fire."
Luo Bai also agreed: "Not only that, it is also relatively hard, unlike those that crumble into dust at the touch."
Mu Youran directly asked Long Yin to come over and carry the basket of charcoal.
He gave them a mysterious smile and said, "There's more to it than that. You'll know soon!"
"Come on, I'll take you to see the tools!"
The Huben followed at the back, very excited.
He now finally understood why Prince Yin liked to follow the princess so much.
What an exciting surprise!
From time to time, some unknown things pop up, and I don’t know what this pile of charcoal can be used for!
What does it have to do with that pile of gold mines!
Mu Youran led them to a tree shed that had been built long ago, poured the charcoal into a small stove next to it, lit it, and placed a small ceramic pot with a handle on it.
Finally, she smiled and took out the piece of gold nugget that she had asked Long Yin to give her from her bag and gave it to him.
"Help me break it into small pieces."
Long Yin didn't understand why, but he still did as he was told. He took out the bone knife he carried with him and cut everything into small pieces.
Mu Youran took it and threw it directly into the clay pot!
"Wait!"
As she spoke, she walked to the nearby sycamore tree, picked a few leaves, squatted beside the stove and fanned it gently.
Long Yin looked at the gold mine inside. At this moment, no matter how stupid he was, he knew what You Ran was going to do.
"You want to burn it?"
"Otherwise, if you don't give it a shape, how can you be sure it's yours?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Long Yin suddenly realized. There had been so many things going on recently that he almost forgot what You Ran had said to him before.
These gold mines can replace seashells in the future!
If I don't make a mark, and someone else picks up the nugget in another mine, wouldn't that be my loss?
Thinking of this, he clenched his hands tightly together with some excitement.
If someone had told him these things directly in the past, he might not have understood them very well. But ever since Youran suggested that he and his father set up a loan company, money has been pouring into their pockets every day!
It was then that he realized that making money did not necessarily require commodities. Sometimes, as long as you understood the flow of money, you could make a lot of money!
If he controls and distributes all the money in the entire Orc Continent, then he will be able to control the money of most people!
Not only that, it can also strengthen the Beast King's leadership!
Just thinking about it, he walked back and forth excitedly, wanting to see what the thing would look like when it was finally made!
