Chapter 207: Winning the Gamble (2)
......
In the Shengpinxuan Sword Material Shop, Song Junyan carefully watched Qiu Shaohui do it himself, using a steel hammer to beat pieces of moire steel ore into pieces the size of soybeans. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Then a thin layer was spread in a fuchsia furnace, and then a layer of crimson mixed with black-gray powder was sprinkled. In this way, it took a total of nine layers to finish.
"Ignite!" With Qiu Shaohui's order, a raging orange-red flame suddenly burst out of the purple-red furnace.
Song Junyan involuntarily took a few steps back. The weather in July was already extremely hot, and the temperature on the edge of the smelting was unbearable. If he didn't fight with his sword qi, he was afraid that he would be able to sweat through his clothes in just a few minutes.
......
Ou Chuyang, who Feng Aoyu was supervising here, was much more lazy. He sat comfortably on a rattan chair, holding a cup of tea, and watched his apprentices hammer the ore and spread it into the vajra furnace.
This group of apprentice helpers knew that today's battle would decide the fate of Gongsun Jiancai and them, and how could they retain their spare strength, so they sold twelve points of their strength one after another, in order to do the best in every process.
After laying the ore and fuel, Ou Chuyang shouted, "Drive, ignite the fire." ā
Eight sturdy men led by Tie Niu each rode a "wheelless bicycle", working hard, their feet like flying, and stepping on the chain whirring and turning.
"Boom!" The orange-yellow flame burst into flames, emitting a scorching light like the scorching sun of July, quickly melting the moire steel ore.
......
It takes at least half an hour to smelt a furnace of sword materials, and this process is really not interesting. The audience in the two stores gossiped while waiting for the final result.
"Eh, who will win?"
"How do I know, both sides are the same routine, they all look similar. ā
"You don't understand this, the so-called layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway. I've seen both sides, and Master Qiu's furnace and flame are darker. In the end, it should be Master Qiu who wins. ā
"It seems that this is indeed the case, no matter how Master Qiu says it, he is also a long-established smelting master, how can he lose to a fledgling young smelter?"
"Well, that's true. It seems that this Gongsun Sword Material Store will be renamed Shengpinxuan Sword Material Store tomorrow. ā
Park Zhengchang listened to the discussions around him, and the smug color on his face became stronger and stronger. He rubbed his hands together quickly, staring impatiently at the roaring fire, wishing that he would enjoy the taste of victory in the next moment.
Seeing this, Yang Manrou chuckled and said, "Congratulations, Brother Pu, you can finally get back a city as you wish." ā
"This is just the beginning. Park Zhengchang smiled, "Ou Chuyang insulted me in public that day, and I will definitely ask him to return it ten times and a hundred times." ā
"You like to toss and turn so many things. Yin Tianze said indifferently: "If it were me, I would have ordered someone to cut off his head with a sword." ā
Park Zhengchang smiled, "Revenge, naturally you have to play him to death slowly to relieve your hatred." ā
......
Feng Aoyu looked at it for a while, and felt bored, so he walked next to Ou Chuyang and asked in a low voice, "Everyone doesn't seem to be very optimistic about you." How can you be like an indifferent outsider, so good-natured. Aren't you afraid of losing?"
"I'm afraid. Ou Chuyang raised his head and said indifferently: "But the matter has come to this point, what is the use of being afraid? I can only do my best and obey the destiny of heaven." ā
"You can think about it. Feng Aoyu turned his head to look at Gongsun Yan's uncle and nephew, "The two of them are not as easy as you." ā
Gongsun Yan's uncle and nephew stared at the King Kong furnace without blinking, their hands were tightly clenched with a handful of sweat, and their knuckles were a little white.
Ou Chuyang knew that their nervousness was not because of the gains and losses of a store, but because the declining Gongsun family had been suppressed for too long and had never raised their eyebrows. Their desperate desire for a victory, even if it was just a small shop, was a good omen.
After stepping on the "bicycle" for half an hour in a row, Tie Niu and other eight helpers felt that their legs were already tired and numb. But hearing the unfavorable remarks around him, Tiemu gritted his teeth and shouted in a deep voice: "Brothers, we can't drop the chain at this critical moment. Work harder, and get out!"
"Okay, fight!"
The eight helpers were red-eyed and panting, trying their best to speed up. The flames in the Vajra furnace jumped up a few inches.
......
The flames in the furnace grew lower and lower, and gradually finally went out.
"Open the furnace!" Qiu Shaohui shouted, flew over, and opened the furnace door with his own hands.
The viscous crimson molten steel slowly flowed out, and Qiu Shaohui hurriedly poked out his sword qi.
After a moment, Qiu Shaohui exhaled a long breath and nodded with great satisfaction.
"How?" Park Jung-chang asked eagerly, "How much purity?"
Qiu Shaohui proudly arched his hand and said: "Fortunately, 94%!"
"94%!" Park Jung-chang was ecstatic and laughed, "Great!
"Wow! 94% pure moire steel, I've only heard of it, I've never seen it. ā
"Yes, such a high purity can be used to cast famous objects. Master Qiu really lives up to his reputation!"
"The results are out, and there is no suspense at all, and the kid next door can't reach this height. He still thinks that the master smelter is something that his little smelter can challenge casually? ā
"Yes, now Gongzi Pu can take the gambling contract and directly collect Gongsun Jiancai. ā
"Let's go, let's go over and see what tricks Ou Chuyang's kid can play. Park Zhengchang waved his arms and walked into the Gongsun Sword Store with freshly baked moire steel and the lively crowd.
Gongsun Yan's uncle and nephew had already gotten the bad news, and the two of them were like being struck by lightning, Mu Li was on the spot, and his mouth was as bitter as chewing a yellow lotus.
Although the purity of 94% of the moire steel smelted by Qiu Shaohui this time is only 2% higher than before, it is difficult to make every step forward.
If it is 93% purity, they can still expect Ou Chuyang to create a miracle and make a draw. But the final result of 94% directly shattered the last illusion in their hearts.
Isn't the doom of my grandson's family yet over...... Gongsun Cheng sat down on the ground in a daze, feeling discouraged.
Everyone overwhelmingly thought that Ou Chuyang would definitely lose, and Wen Jialiang couldn't help but waver a little: Is Ou Chuyang really going to lose this time?
Chen Yajing, who was beside Wen Jialiang, had a trace of excitement in her eyes. Seeing Ou Chuyang being frustrated, she felt an inexplicable burst of excitement and joy in her heart.
Among the people in the courtyard, it seemed that only Feng Aoyu still had a little confidence in Ou Chuyang. He carefully studied Ou Chuyang's expression, and he couldn't see a trace of failure.
"Ou Chuyang, what else do you have to say now?" Park Zhengchang proudly held a gambling contract and shook it in front of Ou Chuyang, "Shouldn't you pat your ass and get out?"
