"What? Someone came to me with a secret recipe?" Suddenly hearing the news, Li Jia was drunk and had not yet fully woken up. His head was buzzing and he was feeling dizzy.

Early this morning, I went to Chen Mansion to have a drink. After several days on the sea, my mouth was like a bird. When I encountered a good banquet, Li Jia naturally would not let it go and ate it elegantly.

Unexpectedly, while we were eating wine, tasting dishes, and listening to the pipa girl's ditty, it was so enjoyable. Suddenly, a disgusting incident suddenly occurred. The old man actually peeked at his beauty. First, he praised Li lavishly.

Although most of what Lang Jun said about his abilities was true, he later shamelessly boasted about his granddaughter, saying things like "beautiful beauty" and "like a fish and a goose" are all cliched words.

Finally, he said what he really meant, and wanted to betroth his granddaughter to Li Jia, but Li Langjun ignored him, drank wine, and walked over.

"What's the secret recipe?" Li Jia yawned and asked casually.

To be honest, he is a little out of shape and a little irritable right now. Why are so many people always thinking about his beauty?

Do they know that my family owns a mine? Li Jia's mind was empty and he was thinking wildly.

"Let him come here, I want to see what the secret recipe is!" Li Jia waved his hand and felt a headache.

"Mr. Lang, this is hangover soup!" At this moment, a caring and gentle female voice came to his ears, and a bowl of hot hangover soup was placed in front of him.

"Gulu gulu!" Li Jia didn't even raise his head and drank directly. He wiped his mouth with the handed towel and said:

"Xizhu, the craftsmanship has improved, and the taste is pretty good!"

"Mr. Lang, I am not Sister Xizhu! My name is Lan'er!" A gentle female voice sounded, and Li Jia came back to his senses. Didn't he only have his personal maid Xizhu to serve him? Why was there another person?

Looking up, this woman has thin eyebrows, watery eyes, as if she can enchant people. Her waist is slender, and her waist is a bit exaggerated, but not much different. More importantly, the buttocks underneath are...

Not shriveled, but quite upright.

To put it simply, he is a man with a hot body, but a gentle and delicate look, with an expression that is at your disposal.

"Mr. Lang is really capable. After drinking wine, he brought a slave back. Isn't the slave a good servant?"

uncomfortable.

"Of course not!" Li Jia respected this personal maid very much. After all, she was one of the most trusted people in the world.

"You are from the Chen family, right?"

"Master Chen gave the slave to Mr. Lang, and Mr. Lang agreed!" Lan'er said weakly, her eyes watery.

"It happens that Xizhu is quite lonely, so just stay with her to relieve her boredom!" After thinking for a while, Li Jia came up with a solution.

In this day and age, giving a maid as a gift to a wealthy family is like giving a horse to someone else.

Moreover, if someone gives you a beautiful maid, they have good intentions, so that you can flourish. If you return it, you will be disgracing them, and it will be miserable for the person who was given the gift to be returned.

At present, the best way is to ignore it. It is normal for things like cheating and mistrust to occur.

"We have an extra sister, please teach her some more rules! After all, this is no longer the Chen Mansion!" Regarding Xizhu, Li Jia's voice was very gentle.

"Yes, Sir!" Xizhu gave a perfunctory salute. Looking at the people standing outside the door, she rolled her eyes, quite sensible and pulled this charming woman, twisted her waist, and walked quickly

Leave.

"Come in!" Li Jia rubbed his forehead, waved his hand and said.

I saw a big man with a dark red face and a stout figure walking in. He had a steady pace, a strong body and well-developed limbs. He was a good prospect for an infantryman.

"Young Zheng Kuan, I have met Mr. Lang!" Zheng Kuan looked at the young man sitting on top of him. Although his face was immature, there was a different kind of power in it. His legs trembled unconsciously.

"I heard you have a secret recipe to offer, why?"

"Mr. Lang, this is a secret recipe passed down from my ancestors. It is easy to hide from people. Due to the Huangchao Rebellion in Lingnan, my ancestors came to Danzhou to avoid being captured by the thieves, and they have multiplied until now. It has been hundreds of years!

"

Zheng Kuan was a little nervous at first, but after he was given a seat, his butt hit a piece of wood, he calmed down a little, and he started speaking smoothly.

"Oh, I'm curious about what could make your family so scared!" Only then did Li Jia become interested in what could be so valuable.

"My family has been a blacksmith for generations, and what I have been taught is naturally about the refining method of the weapon - the Su Iron Sword!"

"That's right. Huang Chao came to Lingnan now just to accumulate strength and go north. Naturally, he needs excellent soldiers and armor!" Li Jia nodded slightly and agreed. Then, he became curious about what this Su Iron Sword was.

Seeing that Lang Jun was really interested, Zheng Kuan explained excitedly.

It is said that before the Southern and Northern Dynasties, most of the steel knives in ancient China were made using the Baidu steel-making process. The swords made by the Baidu steel-making process had excellent performance and were extremely sharp, but they also had many flaws. Among them, the Baidu steel-making process was very complicated.

The cost of making a hundred-forged steel sword is very expensive and takes a long time.

It is said that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the cost of making a hundred-smelting steel sword could buy two years of rations for seven people at that time; during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao ordered people to use the hundred-smelting steel process to make 5 swords, and it took three years.

It's jaw-dropping.

Although the steel-making process is good, it is too complicated, and using it to make swords is too costly, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and cannot keep up with the needs of the war.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a new steel-making process - the "steel-filling method" was born. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, an outstanding man named Qi Wuhuaiwen carried forward this steel-filling method and used it to make swords.

When the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Western Wei Dynasty were at war, Qi Wuhuaiwen came to the tent of Gao Huan, the real power holder of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and presented the precious sword "Su Iron Sword". He claimed to Gao Huan that the sword was made from the soil of Guangling City and the iron sharpness of Kunlun Mountain.

, refined by the steel pouring method, it can cut through thirty layers of armor.

Gao Huan didn't believe it, so he ordered the soldiers to bring thirty armors and stack them on top of each other. Qi Wuhuaiwen shouted loudly and slashed them with his sword, splitting them all. All the soldiers in the tent cheered.

As a result, Su Tiedao became famous.

"You mean, your family's secret recipe is how to make Su Tiedao?" Li Langjun stood up suddenly, extremely surprised.

"It should be!" Zheng Kuan wiped his sweat, "My blacksmithing method is just simple, and the weapons I make in daily life are also extremely high-quality!"

"Come to think of it, if you use this secret recipe, it's not a problem to get the Su Iron Sword!"
