The second day passed early in the morning, and Ye Lingyue completed her daily practice, and followed Ye Huangyun's arrangement to Yejia Shifang.

Yejia started with iron ore. Shifang cut the ore dug from Qixing Mountain, then sorted and selected it. After preliminary refining, it was sent to the county town for sale.

Shifang can also buy or sell small-scale ores, supplying the iron shops of Qiufeng Town and the daily cost of the townspeople. Therefore, Yejia Shifang is actually a small market.

The Ye family earns 70% or 80% of its income every year, relying on Shifang, so the importance of Shifang is second only to the Yejia mine.

"Lingyue, this is your first time at Shifang, and I will take you around." The big cousin, Ye Sheng, who had a close relationship with her in the family test, was responsible for receiving Ye Lingyue.

Ye Sheng is sixteen years old this year and looks handsome, just because he is a grandson of Ye parents

Speaking of Ye Lingyue, Ye Sheng had no impression of her originally, only knowing that she was a fool once born.

This time, Ye Lingyue made a big noise in the family test. His father Ye Huangyun was also very praised for Ye Lingyue, saying that she was a little genius.

Ye Sheng looked at it today and felt that Ye Lingyue was nothing more than that. It was only by chance that he defeated Ye Ning and was called a little genius. His father was too exaggerated.

In Ye Sheng's opinion, Sangu was a genius when he was young, and it does not mean that her daughter was also a genius. The genius that the Ye family can let Ye Sheng recognize is only one Ye Liuyun.

Ye Sheng didn't take it for granted. He greeted Ye Lingyue somewhat inevitably. Ye Lingyue looked at his eyes and didn't say it was broken. On the way, he just followed Ye Sheng and asked about Shifang casually.

"Lingyue, you are the Ye family. Do you know what the main business of the Ye family is?" Ye Sheng asked Ye Lingyue while walking.

"Mine and iron ore. I heard that Ye Family Taizu was founded because of the discovery of a big mine in the mountain." Ye Lingyue knew a little about Ye Family's history.

"Wrong, ordinary iron ore, how can it support the entire Ye family. The Ye family is really good at refining iron, and rough smelting black iron." Ye Sheng pouting, very ignorant of Ye Lingyue, very Is looking down.

Such a simple matter, even the three-year-old children of the Ye family knew, Ye Lingyue didn't even know.

"Please also ask your cousin for advice." Ye Lingyue didn't care, but asked with humility.

"Iron and black iron are different. For example, the two piles in front of you, the grayish white is iron stone, and the silver is black iron stone. The two look only a slight difference in color, but the price is 20 times different. Iron workers are both It can be cut and refined, but the black iron can only be cut by the warrior with more than three weights, and the warrior with more than five weights. "Ye Sheng took a piece of iron ore and black iron stone and explained it to Ye Lingyue .

From Ye Shengkou's mouth, Ye Lingyue also knew a lot of common sense of iron and black iron.

In Daxia, iron can only be used to forge civilian appliances, but black iron can be used to forge weapons and equip the army.

The output of basalt is very low, and it is extremely difficult to refine. Even the Ye family can only make preliminary refinements.

Among the iron ore produced by the Yejia Mine every year, the ratio of wrought iron and iron ore is a hundred times different, but it is also because the Ye family owns a small part of wrought iron that it can stand in Qiufeng Town for many years.

The two walked around in Shifang. Whether it was a worker in Shifang or a merchant townsman who came to trade, when they saw Ye Sheng, they couldn't help but respectfully called "Master Ye Sheng". It is concluded that Ye Sheng's status in Shifang is still very high.

Those people saw Ye Sheng next to him, followed by a beautiful woman who inevitably glanced a few times, Ye Sheng did not introduce, obviously intentionally left Ye Lingyue cold.

"I still have some things in hand. The part in front of me is iron ore and black iron ore. You should first learn to distinguish it. The processing field is in front. If you are interested, you can go in and see." Ye Shengjie said after a while, Just let Ye Lingyue think about it in private and leave temporarily.

Ye Lingyue stood beside the black iron stone and iron ore for a moment.

Ye Sheng let Ye Lingyue distinguish between iron ore and iron ore. That is because these two kinds of ore were very similar when they were first mined. Except for the experienced masters, it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish. There were many mine workers in previous years. Fill it second, and use iron ore to pretend to be a black iron ore to seek huge profits.

For the Ye family who go to Shifang to study, the first thing is to distinguish between basalt and iron ore.

For others, the two kinds of ores that are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, in Ye Lingyue's eyes, are clear at a glance, only because she has a magical dry life.

With the movement of your fingertips, the dying breath in Qianding was drilled into a piece of black iron stone.

As Ye Sheng said, gray is iron and silver is black iron. Most of the black iron ore mined by the Ye family is actually a mixture of iron and black iron.

Ye Lingyue observed and found that there were a lot of impurities in the pile of wrought iron ore in front of him, and the amount of wrought iron in each piece was pitiful.

Inside a piece, there is probably only 20% of the black iron.

Such basalt iron mines obviously cannot be sold directly to the county, so they still need to be refined by the Ye family's warriors before they can be sold.

The level of basalt is obviously much lower than that of basaltic jade. Dingxi in Qianding saw the impurities in these basalt, but just lazily turned around and shrank back.

Bang Bang Bang-There was a jingling knock in front.

Ye Lingyue walked forward, and saw that in the processing workshop, he was busy with the sky, about 20-30 warriors were cutting and forging black iron ore.

Drinking-With a loud cry, beside Ye Lingyue, a triple-strength warrior condensed Yuan Li on an iron axe, and the axe was cut off, and the black iron ore was cut into several pieces.

Immediately afterwards, the cut iron ore was handed over to a five-strength warrior.

I saw the other person holding an iron hammer in his hand and knocked it down.

With the sound of Keng, the hammer hit the black iron ore.

I saw that on the hammer body, carrying Ling Yun's Yuanli force, a hammer fell on the iron ore, and the force was so strong that the concentration of power attracted a burst of applause.

As the hammer fell, Ye Lingyue could see a lot of stone chips fall, and some of the ore impurities were also beaten out.

Unlike ordinary iron shop iron making, Yejia Shifang workers who deal with ferrous ore are not simple. If you look closely, you will find that they use Yuanli when cutting and forging.

After the cutting and forging, the iron ore, a piece of iron ore, takes about an hour, the size of the ore has shrunk by half, but the composition of the iron ore can be increased to 30% to 40%. sell.

In the applause of everyone, Ye Lingyue withdrew from the processing plant.

"It's too much effort. I don't know if Ganding can be used to purify basalt." When Ye Lingyue walked out of the processing field, he was still holding two pieces of basalt and iron ore.
