Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 361 Gold
It is said that there are "three sufferings" in the world, forging iron, punting, and grinding tofu.

The wind blows into the stove, and the flames fly straight. The blacksmith shop becomes extremely hot, and sweat flows like water droplets, especially in summer, when the temperature next to the stove is at least 50°C.

Only stood for a while.

The three of them were sweating like drops of water.

"I'll borrow a bucket of water." The high temperature in the room made Li Hongbing almost breathless, turned around and ran out of the blacksmith shop, refreshed by the fresh air outside.

Riding on the three bungee, he found a random house, fetched two buckets of cold well water, and ran back to the blacksmith's shop.

Uncle Yandai waited for him to come back, drank a ladle of cold water with a ladle, and pointed at the dog's head gold weighing more than ten catties.

"Red Soldier, if you really want to use it, it will be worth a lot of money if you sell it? Are you willing?"

"Hey, if you don't want to part with it, just use it." Li Hongbing waved his hand, not caring about the value of this dog's head gold at all.

No matter how valuable it is, it can be worth more than those two prescriptions. In recent months, the incoming text messages sent by the bank have not been less than seven figures each time.

"He's a bright person, so I'll smash it!" Uncle Yandai praised, picked up the hammer and smashed it hard at Goutoujin.

Bang Bang a few times.

The hammer smashed off the small gold head of the dog's head, which was estimated to be about three catties. The tongs picked up the gold nugget and put it into the red-hot cauldron.

Next, take out the clay mold made in advance, spray it with special potion, and throw it by the stove to bake.

As soon as the flame touched the mud, sparks burst out instantly.

The gold nugget in the crucible melted slowly at high temperature. Uncle Tobacco found a white crystal lump from nowhere, smashed it into powder with a hammer, and sprinkled it into the crucible.

"Uncle, what are you doing here!" Li Hongbing asked curiously if he didn't understand.

"Borax can suck out the impurities in gold. The old people are doing gold refining like this."

Uncle Yandai said while staring at the changes in the gold water in the crucible.

Not long after adding borax, a layer of impurities floated on the surface of the gold water.

Seeing this, Uncle Yandai immediately picked up the crucible with iron tongs and threw it into the black water tank that had been stored for many years.

Stab it!

The black water in the tank burst into white eyes, and the black water gurgled and bubbled.

After cooling, lift the crucible.

At this time, a metal block wrapped in a white-gray shell appeared at the bottom of the crucible.

Pick up the hammer and hit the bottom of the crucible a few times.

The metal block fell to the ground with a clatter, and the outer gray-white shell was cracked, revealing a golden light, which was extremely dazzling in the dim light of the kerosene lamp.

Uncle Yandai picked up the gold nugget, put it on the anvil and tapped it to remove some white-gray impurities on the surface.

"Is this enough?" Li Hongbing asked.

"No, I have to refine it three more times." Uncle Yandai shook his head, and put the new crucible into the stove.

Repeat this two times, the impurities on the gold water become less and less.

The third time, after the gold nuggets had cooled down, Uncle Yandai dug out a pot of dark oily water from the corner of the shop and put it on the stove to boil. The pot smelled like metal and peanut oil.

The cooled gold nuggets were thrown into the boiling hot oil, and a puff of white smoke floated up.

The iron tongs pulled out the gold nuggets in the oil basin. After the hot oil, the surface of the gold nuggets was shiny and even a little dazzling.

Only then did Uncle Yandai show a satisfied expression, and handed the gold nugget to Li Hongbing with a smug face, and said.

"The old alchemists put borax and gold into boiling oil after refining. When the borax was fried by the oil, it turned into smoke. The gold was fine, and the borax on the surface of the gold was fried."

It feels heavy at first, oily at the second, and slightly hot to the touch, Li Hongbing asked.

"This must weigh more than 2 catties!"

Uncle Tobacco nodded.

"It's not bad. Your dog's head gold has a good gold content. It has seven layers. After 3 catties are folded, there are still more than 2 catties left."

"Then start teeth cleaning!" Li Hongbing couldn't wait to see the tiger braces come out.

"What's the hurry, the stainless steel basin hasn't melted yet."

Uncle Yandai picked up the stainless steel basin, smashed it with a hammer, and threw it directly into the stove.

The fire was so hot that the stainless steel basin was heated to red, but there was no sign of melting.

Li Hongbing's first reaction was.

The furnace temperature does not reach the conditions for melting stainless steel.

At this time, Uncle Yandai put the red-hot stainless steel basin into the crucible with iron tongs, turned and ran to the corner of the blacksmith shop, wearing a mask on his head, and returned to the stove with a jar in his arms.

Just when Li Hongbing was about to ask Uncle Yandai why he was wearing a mask.

Uncle Yandai grabbed a handful of sour-smelling particles from the jar and threw them into the crucible.

boom!
The crucible seemed to explode, and there was a roar, soaring flames spewed out of the pot, and the hot waves slapped on the face.

In an instant, Li Hongbing smelled a burnt smell from his body, it was the smell of burnt hair.

He quickly reached out to touch his hair, and took out a handful of Jiao Momo.

I am!

Wouldn't the eyebrows be burned too!
Li Hongbing wiped it between his eyebrows in fear, and it was scorched yellow with one hand. No wonder Uncle Yandai had to wear a mask. Fortunately, the silly boy sat behind the stove and pulled the bellows, so no damage was caused.

"Uncle, what are you doing, my hair and eyebrows are all burnt!"

Uncle Yandai took off his mask, and glanced at him lightly, "The baby in the mountain is afraid to ask, is he not a man if he has no hair? Can a woman without hair not be allowed to go to bed?"

This makes sense, but I always feel that something is wrong.

But at least remind me, let me be prepared!
Li Hongbing narrowed his eyes, and was about to ask what was sprinkled into the cauldron.

Impressively, he saw Uncle Cigarette grabbed another handful.

Again!

Li Hongbing turned around and rushed out of the blacksmith's shop with a swish, feeling a billowing heat wave hit his back.

Thanks for the quick response.

Otherwise, it's really a braised egg.

He didn't say anything and didn't go in. The ghost knows what dangerous stuff Uncle Yandai found out again.

Li Hongbing ran back to Sanbangzi, took out his mobile phone and checked the news.

what!
Wang Qi's sister-in-law's public relations response to the crisis was so quick.

The group was just established in the afternoon, and now there are different voices on the Internet.

Needless to say, the article is really well written, and the pictures are also well matched.

The comment area is no longer full of black fans leaving messages, but many different voices emerged.

Both sides stood on the moral high ground and launched verbal attacks on each other, which attracted more people to watch and participate.

This is what Wang Qian's sister-in-law wants to achieve.

Three steps, connecting, boosting, and cooperating, the key to generating public opinion is to guide and form public opinion.

Through point-to-point connection, opinions are formed, leading to hot events and the formation of public opinion influence, first of all, it is inseparable from multiple "points" that can be connected to events.

And it is released by different users, and then connected in series, spliced ​​into a complete event, and finally formed public opinion.

Pushers boost and "create" public opinion. Using different new media platforms, pushers can instantly push edited information to multiple users without any effort.

In a bottom-up spontaneous form, it helps to form "public opinion", and such "public opinion" is often out of control, leading netizens to get involved unconsciously.

The public cooperates and pushes towards the pole.

When the events that are hyped up by hot posts on various social networking platforms or websites gradually become more and more popular, public opinion is formed, and a certain degree of attention is aroused.

The general public often just fills in the blanks and completes puzzles based on the information or situations they think they have mastered, and they think they have restored the truth of the incident.

And once people believe a piece of information, it is difficult to change their opinion.

Forever young, always passionate, always being used as a gun, always being led by others, and always being moved by oneself.

In the end, no matter how the contradictions of public opinion change, after all, in the end, the biggest winner is Caogou Village.

This is the ultimate goal that Wang Qi's sister-in-law will eventually accomplish.

After reading all the articles, Li Hongbing only had two words in his mind.

Awesome!
No wonder it is said that the invisible behind-the-scenes is the real monster that eats people.

Just five or six people can make such a big wave.

"Red Soldier, come back quickly, the mold will be cast immediately!" Uncle Yandai's voice sounded.

"coming!"

Li Hongbing put away his mobile phone and returned to the blacksmith shop.

At this time, Uncle Yandai was squatting on the ground, playing with a strange-looking wooden box. This tool consisted of two wooden frames, palm-deep, connected by hinges in the middle, and a round opening at the top.

First pour sand and some black powder into a wooden frame, add water, stir and compact evenly, and scrape off the excess sand on the surface with a wooden stick.

Immediately afterwards, another wooden frame was also concocted in the same way.

After finishing, let it sit for a while to allow the sand to fully absorb the water.

The next step is the important part, the casting mold.

First sprinkle carbon powder on the surface of the sand to prevent the mud from sticking to the sand, then carefully press the baked mud mold on the sand and tap it lightly with a wooden hammer.

When the mud mold is half submerged in the sand, sprinkle the toner again, then close the two wooden frames, then reopen, and take out the mud mold, so that the shape of the mud remains in the wooden frame.

"It's ready to pour!" Uncle Yandai heaved a sigh of relief, put the sand box firmly, stood up, and suddenly his body shook a few times, Li Hongbing hurried forward to support him.

"It's really old, it's so tiring to be a cast." Uncle Yandai laughed at himself in frustration.

"Uncle, tell us what you want to do, why do you always do it yourself." Li Hongbing smiled and supported Uncle Yandai, and turned his head to look at Shawa.

The silly boy stepped forward consciously.

"Clamp the crucible with iron tongs, and pour the gold water into the mouth of the sand box." Uncle Yandai pointed to the crucible.

Shawa picked up the iron tongs to pick up the crucible, walked to the sand box, carefully poured the gold water into the spout, and stopped until the gold water was full.

"Okay, wait for the mold to be released."

Half an hour passed.

Uncle Yandai kicked over the sand box, and the sand poured out, revealing a pair of braces and four fangs.

This is just rough molding, and it needs to be polished and refined later.

Uncle Tobacco used pliers and a file to carefully smooth out the burrs and corners on the mold, and put the residue in the bowl. Although it was residue, it was made of gold.

Then sand it down several times with rough sandpaper to ensure a smooth surface.

"Come on, go back to your house, try it on for the tiger, and finish it again." Uncle Yandai handed the braces and teeth to Li Hongbing, with a tired look on his face.

Let a 60-year-old man toss for a long time, Li Hongbing couldn't help but said.

"It's getting dark, or do it tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow and tomorrow's work, finish it in one go, so I won't worry about it." Uncle Yandai waved his hand, took cold water from the bucket, slapped it on his face, and lifted his spirits.

Got it!
Now that you say that, what else can you do!
Li Hongbing could only agree.

The three of them walked out the door, Uncle Yandai was holding tools, and suddenly stopped, "Silly boy, go and take the remaining dog's head gold, don't worry about putting it in the blacksmith's shop."

Back to the old house without stopping.

Regardless of saying hello to Shan Xing, he went straight into the warehouse, and a bunch of animals in the room looked at the visitor curiously.

"Go out and play, don't make trouble!" Li Hongbing drove the animals out of the yard.

Uncle Tobacco picked up the braces, before opening his mouth.

An experienced tiger with 5 big mouths.

The braces are divided into upper and lower parts. According to the structure of the tiger's mouth, each has a row of dentures, but the dentures are a bit crude, but it does not affect the use.

"Don't bite me, I'll fix your teeth." Uncle Tobacco carefully fixed the braces on the gums, using the original teeth as a support point.

After all, the braces that have just been made are somewhat uneven. Uncle Tobacco installed and adjusted them again and again. Maybe he was too involved, forgetting to put teeth on the tiger, and would ask the tiger how he felt from time to time.

Tiger could understand Uncle Yandai's words, but he couldn't answer. He could only describe it by shaking his head and nodding.

In this way, one person and one tiger communicate, and slowly enter a good state.

Hearing the movement, Shan Xing took Anna to the door of the warehouse. Just as Anna was about to speak, Li Hongbing, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, quickly covered Anna's mouth and carried her to the rice field.

"Don't disturb Uncle Yandai's work."

Anna's eyes widened, she forcefully opened Li Hongbing's palm, turned her head and complained from Shan Xing, "Aunt Xing, Dad didn't wipe his shit, it stinks!"

fart!

Li Hongbing stared, raised his hand and smelled it.

vomit!
Stomach churned by the sour smell, and looked at his wife and daughter embarrassingly.

"I just touched Uncle Tobacco's ingredients at the blacksmith's shop."

"Brother, where's your hair and eyebrows?" Shan Xing suddenly stepped forward, reaching for Li Hongbing's head.

Done!

Really burnt out!

Li Hongbing hurried into the toilet, and in the reflection in the washing mirror, the hair on the front of his forehead was so burnt that only stubble remained, and his two eyebrows were nowhere to be seen.

How can I meet people tomorrow!
Shan Xing and Anna walked in behind them. Under the bright light, the half-bald head was particularly eye-catching.

"Eggs, eggs! Dad has turned into an egg!" Anna clapped her hands happily.

Shan Xing covered her mouth and snickered, and asked, "Why did you go out, your hair and eyebrows are like this."

"Uncle Cigarette did it wrong. He didn't say anything about putting fuel in it, and he burned it up with just one blow."

Li Hongbing gestured aggrievedly.

"It's okay, the president will come back, it's pretty good." Shan Xing comforted softly, Li Hongbing looked at his own unlucky appearance in the mirror, and felt ruthless, "Go and get the razor, it's better to shave your hair halfway."

After Uncle Yandai adjusted his braces, Li Hongbing walked into the storeroom with his bald head on his head. The light shone on his bald head, which seemed dazzling.

"That's how it should be shaved. What do people in the mountains do with such long hair?" Uncle Yandai liked Li Hongbing's new hairstyle very much. After a few glances, he frowned.

"Whoever shaved your head, the craftsmanship is not good, why did you shave so many cuts."

Hearing this sentence, Li Hongbing felt inexplicably sad and indignant.

The scalp is covered with criss-cross wounds.

It's not bad to be able to shave like this at night, and Shanxing is not a professional barber.

After all, it's not your fault!
The braces are adjusted, and the rest is to install the four large teeth.

When making the mould, Uncle Tobacco purposely left a screw on the braces to allow the big teeth to be fixed on the braces, no matter how much they are torn, they will not fall off, and it is also convenient for maintenance in the future.

The four big teeth were fitted with braces and re-fixed in the tiger's mouth.

Qi live completed.

The tiger was very excited to have teeth again. Although he was still a little uncomfortable, he still had teeth.

"Open your mouth, let's see!" Li Hongbing encouraged.

The tiger opened its mouth obediently!

A large gold tooth gleamed in the light.

puff!

Anna couldn't help laughing first, covered her hands and ran out of the warehouse, followed by Shan Xing, Uncle Yandai shook his head and smiled wryly, followed behind, and the silly boy showed a simple and honest smile.

"???" Tiger was puzzled.

What are you laughing at?
Only Li Hongbing suppressed his smile and patted the tiger on the head.

"The tooth is well done, very beautiful, from now on you will be called Jin Zi."
