My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 82 Uncle and Nephew Night Talk
Dang dang... The sound of the villagers knocking on the iron billets can be heard endlessly.

Wei Yan looked at the "industrial assembly line" in front of him with a look of surprise. It was the first time he discovered that ironmaking can still be done like this.

At the entrance, women kept pouring iron ore into a large pool, and a strong man next to him hit the iron ore with a hammer; the crushed iron ore was shoveled out and transported to the first pond. Burn in a furnace at high temperature.

After the hot iron ore was shoveled out, it was immediately poured into a large pool to cool down. Using the method of thermal expansion and contraction, the stone attached to the iron ore was simply peeled off, and the remaining steps were also orderly. sequence.

One by one process, one by one link, some are in charge of supervision, and some are in charge of quality inspection. Finally, after more than a dozen processes, the finished wrought iron is shaped with a mold, and an iron ingot the size of a brick is obtained.

Wei Yan picked up a cooled iron ingot, which was heavy and had almost no air bubbles on the surface. This is very rare, and it is enough to show that the smelting method "invented" by Wei Cheng is much better than that of the imperial court.

Hao Dadao smiled and said, "Second Master, is there anything else you want to ask?"

Wei Min was stunned for a moment, then smiled and cupped his hands, saying: "I'm sorry to bother you, Wei has nothing to ask, the strong man should go get busy first."

Hao Dadao cupped his hands, although he looked a bit old, in fact he was a few years younger than Wei Min.

He went on to say: "There is a brick factory next to it. If the second master is interested, I can show you there again."

"Oh!" Wei Yan looked towards the brick factory beside him, and the towering chimney had long made him very curious.

"Alright, it's work."

Walking out of the arsenal, the two of them bypassed a wall, and there was a brick factory next to them.

However, Wei Min's sight was attracted by the tower under construction on the edge of the cliff.

Seeing this, Hao Dadao introduced: "This is the fortification that the young master asked us to build. We build one every fifty steps along the edge of the cliff. Now there are as many as seven completed, but it is still far from the young master's request. It's far away, and it may take at least a year or so to enclose the entire cliff."

Wei Min nodded slightly, looked at the strangely shaped tower, and said, "Can Wei go in for a visit?"

Hao Dadao hastily cupped his hands and said: Of course it is possible.

Shabby room.

"Wahhahaha... eat meat, eat meat!"

Because of Bai Bojun's affairs, I haven't eaten lunch yet, and it's already afternoon, and the village is full of the smell of meat.

Horse meat is rare in later generations, but it is not unavailable, and it is not impossible to eat it. There are many people who eat horse meat.

Aunt Manhua specially sent a few pieces of fat and thin meat, as well as some ribs, with the spice package provided by Wei Cheng. Hao Niang got busy in the kitchen. After a while, the smell of meat filled the air, which provoked little Aning Dancing happily, jumping and jumping.

The spices and seasonings purchased by Wei Cheng this time are very comprehensive.

He walked into his small warehouse and got a bowl of chive flower sauce and a bowl of hot sauce.

Due to the limitation of cooking tools, the horse meat is directly boiled in water, and eaten in the same way as the meat in Inner Mongolia. It is cut off with a knife, dipped in chive flower sauce, and the mouth is oily but not greasy.

The staple food is big steamed buns that Hao Niang has steamed in the morning, and there is also a side dish of cold wild vegetables.

Seeing that Wei Cheng was about to start eating, Cai Yan hurriedly reminded: "Husband, the second uncle hasn't come yet."

Wei Cheng was stunned for a moment, the knife in his hand had already cut off a piece of meat, whether it was eaten or not.

Just then, the courtyard door opened.

Wei Yan walked in with a smile on his face, holding a vegetable basket in his hand, and he said, "The people in the village are really enthusiastic, and they gave me a lot of fruits... Yo, you guys are starting to eat it now."

Cai Yan hurriedly said: "My husband specifically confessed that we will eat together when the second uncle comes."

Wei Yan looked at the piece of meat in Wei Cheng's hand, smiled without saying a word, walked to the side of the water tank to wash his hands, and then sat down in front of Wei Cheng.

Cai Yan dragged Aning to the kitchen to eat. Under normal circumstances, there are guests at home, and women and children are not allowed to eat at the table.

But Wei Cheng obviously didn't think so. He grabbed Cai Yan and asked curiously, "Dinner, where are you going?"

"I..." Cai Yan looked at Wei Min, the meaning is very obvious, the second uncle is here!

Wei Yan looked at Wei Teng holding Cai Yan's hand, smiled bitterly, and said, "Teng'er, you are still angry with Second Uncle, Second Uncle was also doing it for your own good, besides, the couple I found for you These girls are all daughters of aristocratic families, and they are willing to be your concubine, I really didn't force them... Besides, Yan'er agreed."

Wei Cheng frowned slightly, "Concubine?"

He looked at Cai Yan, only to see the girl's expression was gloomy, her eyes were slightly moist, and her small mouth was slightly pursed.

Wei Cheng recalled what happened a few days ago. Cai Yan saw that she ordered Jin Lao and others to make gold jewelry, but she was depressed for a while. Would she agree to take a concubine?Just kidding!

Reminiscent of what Wei Yan said, Wei Cheng can be sure that Cai Yan will definitely not agree to his concubine, but he has to agree because of pressure from certain aspects.

Thinking of this, Wei Cheng raised his head and looked at Wei Min with a vaguely unkind expression.

Wei Yan was taken aback when he saw this, why did this kid become so hostile after not seeing him for a few months?

Wei Cheng's emotions were very obvious. Seeing this, Cai Yan explained with a choked and trembling voice: "My husband, don't do this, the second uncle is also doing it for your own good. It's all because I haven't been able to give birth to a son and a half for you... Blame me ..."

Seeing this, Wei Cheng hurried to comfort her.

At this time, Wei Min was the most surprised.

He looked at the two in front of him in surprise, the tenderness in Wei Cheng's eyes couldn't be faked, and the vaguely coquettish words in Cai Yan's words couldn't fool him, a person who had experienced this... What is the situation, when is it? Has the relationship between Er and Yaner become so good?
After eating dog food for a while, Wei Min said, "Yan'er, let's sit down and eat with the little girl."

When Wei Min spoke, Cai Yan sat down with Aning.

Little Aning was already starving, Wei Cheng cut a big piece of meat for her and put it in a bowl, the girl didn't dip it in the sauce, just picked it up and ate it.

Compared with Wei Cheng's particularity, the real situation in this era is that the meat can be eaten after it is cooked, not to mention leek flowers and chili sauce, many times they don't even have salt.

According to the words of the villagers: what kind of salt do you want, as long as there is meat, it will be good.

It was also the first time for Wei Yan to eat meat dipped in sauce. The leek flowers removed the fishy smell, and the chili sauce increased the flavor and appetizers, which made his mouth full of oil, and gradually he didn't worry much about his image. Recently, he was busy guarding various county manors outside. Haven't had a proper meal.

In addition, the wine that Wei Cheng brought out was really delicious, sweet and spicy, with a hint of fruity fragrance in the mouth, it was perfect to eat with greasy meat.

The wine that Wei Cheng took out was a cocktail he made himself. He squeezed out the juice from the fruits in the mountains, then added mountain spring water and Qinghe Daqu, and finally used honey to enhance the taste. Sealed in clay pots, the shelf life is about half a year.

Cai Yan chewed slowly on the sidelines, and secretly went to see Wei Cheng from time to time.

Wei Cheng took a mouthful of steamed buns and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Cai Yan smiled sweetly, like a little hamster, holding the steamed bun and eating it with relish.

She wanted to say that this was the first time that my husband defended himself in front of his elders, this feeling... really happy.

On the tip of the moon, the night is quiet.

Wei Cheng took a shower in the backyard, took the changed clothes and walked to the front yard.

As soon as I put the dirty clothes into the tub, I heard Wei Min's voice from the gate of the courtyard: "Teng'er, the stars are so bright tonight."

Wei Cheng walked out of the courtyard curiously, and saw Wei Yan holding a flagon in his hand, half lying on the grass on the hillside, looking up at the starry sky.

Wei Cheng leaned on the door frame and looked up at the galaxy, indeed, it was beautiful!

The uncle and nephew were silent for a while.

Wei Yan picked up the jug, took a big gulp, and burped happily.

Then he said without looking back: "Teng'er, if you have any ambitions, go and show them off. The second uncle, your father, and even the whole Wei family are your solid backing. Even if you fail, it doesn't matter. A man should not be afraid of it. "

Wei Cheng froze for a moment, looked at the stars in the sky and said, "What kind of ambition can I have? Second Uncle probably drank too much. Let's go to the house to rest earlier. The ground is very cold, so be careful of the cold entering your body."

"Hehehe." Wei Yan smiled sassyly, looked back at Wei Cheng who was leaning on the door frame with his arms crossed, and asked, "Do you still remember what Gao Zu said when he first met Emperor Shi Huang?"

Wei Cheng frowned.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Wow, that's what a man should do!"

"Of course!" Wei Min laughed.

Then he said: "The Overlord of Chu was also there at the time, do you know what the Overlord said?"

Wei Min thought that Wei Cheng didn't know, and was about to speak.

Wei Cheng thought for a while, then responded casually: "He can be replaced... right?"

Wei Yan changed his expression, looked back at Wei Cheng in surprise, and asked, "How did you know?"

Wei Cheng wanted to say that he saw it on TV, but obviously he couldn't say that. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Maybe I saw it in some book, Second Uncle also knows."

Wei Yan stared at Wei Cheng in a daze for a long time before suddenly burst into laughter.

He knew it, but he saw it by chance, because the book recording this incident was simply out of reach of ordinary people.

After all, whether it is the words of the great ancestor or the words of the overlord, they are all rebellious words of treason.

"Historical Records·Benji of Xiang Yu": The first emperor of Qin visited Kuaiji, crossed Zhejiang Province, and visited Liang and his native place.Ji said: "That can be taken and replaced." Liang covered his mouth and said: "Don't lie, you will belong to the family!"

He raised his head to look at Xinghe, and suddenly said: "If I were Xiang Liang, I would definitely not reprimand the Overlord, but I would feel very relieved."

Wei Cheng frowned slightly, and looked at Wei Min, this cheap second uncle must have drunk too much.

Wei Min was unmoved, took another sip of wine, and then said in a sonorous tone: "From ancient times to the present, the world has been chaotic, and all heroes have risen together, and there must be destiny... In the past, the ancestor Gao killed the white snake. It's a pity. After all, it will come to an end... Now that the troubled times are approaching... I, the Qilin of the Wei family, came back from the dead, and I know it from birth, isn't it mysterious?"

Wei Yan stood up suddenly, looked at Wei Ting with piercing eyes, and said one by one: "The invulnerable silk inner armor is far superior to the contemporary forging technology. The Tiangang 36 artifact is not a legend, and the Disha 72 heavy weapon is what I saw with my own eyes. See, it's like the tower with a strange shape but as stable as a mountain, and it's like the sweet and mellow wine in my hand... Cheng'er, you are destiny!"

···
The next day.

Wei Cheng slept late, and when he got up, it was already high in the sun.

Yawning, he walked to the yard and asked, "Yan'er, where's the second uncle?"

Last night, Wei Yan shared a room with him. There are many boxes in the room, and you can sleep with just a bed sheet and a quilt.

Wei Cheng woke up once in the morning, and saw that Wei Min was no longer in the room. He was in a daze at the time. He looked at the sky until it was getting brighter, and fell asleep again.

It was only then that he remembered that Wei Min's bed had already been stacked neatly at that time, and he obviously woke up very early.

Cai Yan shook her head, she thought Wei Min was still sleeping in the room, when she heard this, she frowned and said, "I remembered what my husband said, when I woke up in the morning, the courtyard door was slightly open, I I thought my husband didn't lock it at night."

Wei Yan nodded, thinking that Wei Yan had gone to the village.

However, when it was near noon, Wei Cheng knew that Wei Yan had left early in the morning. Before leaving, he asked the villagers guarding the lifting platform to give a message, and he went to fulfill the agreement.

Wei Cheng frowned, and suddenly remembered the last conversation between the two of them last night.

At that time, Wei Yan seemed to have said something, and Wei Cheng thought he was joking, so he said: "If the second uncle insists on doing this, then what if my nephew will play with you..."

Later, Wei Cheng drank a little wine, and the two of them didn't have much impression of what they said. They just remembered that Wei Cheng looked happy at that time, and he pulled Wei Cheng to praise him for a long time, saying that he was worthy of being Wei's unicorn.

Wei Cheng rubbed his head, feeling a little confused.

"What were we talking about?"

···
In the forest trails in autumn, withering can be seen everywhere.

Liu Guanzhang and the others rode their horses and looked up at the sun to identify the direction.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, there seems to be smoke ahead." Zhang Fei pointed to the distance and shouted.

Guan Yu squinted his phoenix eyes and said with a smile, "That's right, it's the same as what those thieves said, and Longshan should be in front of us."

Last night he refrained from doing anything to those Baibo soldiers. This morning the three brothers followed those people out of the city and stopped them in an inaccessible place. position.

It took a lot of time to find it all the way, but I finally found the right place.

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, frowned and said, "You two virtuous brothers, after meeting Mr. Wei, remember not to show too much ambition. The children of these aristocratic families have always been arrogant. If you talk too much, it will easily attract attention. To mock and belittle."

Guan Yu nodded.

Zhang Fei didn't take it seriously, and said in a muffled voice, "You and I, the three brothers, are here to make contributions, so there's no need to hide it."

Liu Bei shook his head, intending to explain.

Seeing this, Guan Yu said, "Third brother, just listen to elder brother, don't mess up elder brother's plan with unintentional words."

Zhang Fei opened his mouth aggrieved, and finally answered honestly, "I listen to you."

The three brothers rode their horses and came to the foot of the mountain.

Spotted by Heizi on the mountain from afar: "Who is here?"

Liu Bei stepped forward and cupped his hands, and replied in a loud voice: "A certain is the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, with their second younger brother Guan Yu, and third younger brother Zhang Fei, please see Mr. Wei, and hope that the strong man will report one or two."
