Work in the Forging Camp

It’s busy and simple!

It's simple in that all you have to do is forge and repair continuously, but it's busier than a pharmacy. Countless weapons are delivered one after another, and the coal in the fire is added wave after wave, which can make people so tired that they can't even straighten their backs.

Wei Han's abnormal physique doesn't make him feel tired.

However, in order not to expose his strength, he still broke into a sweat and pretended to be tired like the others.

"Young man, can you bear it?" Yan Jingshan asked when he had time.

Wei Han grinned and said nonchalantly: "It's okay. I've been used to hardship since I was a child. This little bit of work is nothing."

"Um!"

Yan Jingshan smiled with satisfaction.

He still admired this new boy very much.

He has a positive attitude, is hardworking, and has an unexpectedly good personality. He is truly a good rough diamond who deserves careful carving.

"Okay, stop now!"

"Eat first, then continue working!"

By evening, it was dinner time in the barracks.

Ordinary rebel soldiers could only eat big pot meals with little oil or water, either thin porridge or steamed buns and pickles. Occasionally, a piece of fatty meat was a rare delicacy.

But the food in the forging camp was unexpectedly good.

Seven or eight cooks brought in several large barrels, which contained not only fragrant white rice, stewed meat, chicken, duck, broth, but even a barrel of medicinal food.

"What? Are you shocked?" Yan Jingshan laughed at this. "Life in our forging camp is hard, but it is precisely because it is so hard that we have no energy to work without eating well. Therefore, our food standards are a hundred times better than those of ordinary soldiers. You are in for a treat!"

"Hahaha, come, Xiaofei, eat!"

"When you come here, you can eat as much as you want. Don't worry about not having enough!"

"That's right. Only when you are full can you have the strength to work. Eat!"

The blacksmiths also spoke happily.

Wei Han smiled innocently and didn't say anything polite. He just followed the others and picked up a basin, scooped up a large basin of rice, then poured various meats, vegetables and soup into it. He squatted aside and started to eat.

"fragrant!"

Wei Han praised with satisfaction.

"Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

The guys were all rough and very hungry after a busy day.

Therefore, they eat in a very rude manner, squatting down and gobbling up the food in no time.

But eating this way is really delicious!

This also reminded Wei Han of when he first arrived at Chen's Pharmacy, many of their apprentices were squatting outside the kitchen eating.

Although the food was not as good as it is today, it was still enjoyable to eat.

"What does it mean to have a peaceful and quiet life? This is what it means to have a peaceful and quiet life!"

"The rebels are nothing. If I can't defeat them, I'll join them."

"Other people live in fear of being attacked by soldiers and bandits, but I am happily hiding in the barracks to learn a skill. I get food and wages, and I don't have to worry about being cannon fodder. It's great!"

Wei Han couldn't help but sigh at his own cleverness.

At the same time, his ears perked up, listening habitually to the gossip of people around him, constantly collecting all kinds of information around him.

The blacksmiths were all rough men and they talked about women all the time.

The topics they talked about all the time were about brothels and prostitution.

However, Wei Han did hear some good news from it.

A blacksmith with yellow teeth laughed frivolously and said, "I heard General Xue talking yesterday that His Royal Highness Prince Xiao will continue to attack the county city in the near future. Before the imperial army can be withdrawn, we should occupy more land and consolidate the defense line."

"He said that Qingshan County has a good location and is very suitable for being built into a granary and logistics supply base. Our forging battalion will probably be stationed here."

"Brothers, if you are still single, don't go to brothels every day. The women there are dirty and sick. It's better to spend a little money to marry a wife and settle down."

This topic has aroused everyone's interest.

"Hahaha, that makes sense. Although domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers, it is still nice to have someone who understands you and does the laundry and cooking for you."

"That's right. Although the forging camp is hard, the monthly allowance is quite good. It would be nice to find a few wives to have children and continue the family line."

"Houses in Qingshan County are not expensive. Buying a small courtyard in a remote area and marrying a decent girl, or even finding a human trafficker to buy a wife, is better than visiting brothels!"

The rough guys were talking about it in a flurry.

There was a gleam of happiness in everyone's eyes.

Wei Han smiled slightly when he saw this. The era of cold weapons had one thing better than Blue Star: it really didn't cost much to marry a wife.

The lower class people are all poor, and they can afford to marry a wife if they have a skill. What's more, the blacksmiths in the forging camps have generous salaries and food, and many families who can't support themselves are willing to marry their daughters to them.

However, the information they said surprised him a little.

If Qingshan County is really set up as a logistics supply city, then there is no need to worry about its security. This is really good news.

"Okay, eat and drink enough and continue working!" Yan Jingshan knocked on his pipe and said unhappily: "Hurry up, light the lamp and work for another two hours at night. The army needs a lot of weapons recently. If you work hard, you can get more salary this month!"

"yes!"

The blacksmiths agreed with full energy.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they started swinging hammers again.

Being a blacksmith is a boring job. They have to hammer red-hot iron blocks to make them into the shape they want. Swords, armor, bows and crossbows are made by them.

And Yan Jingshan also became interested!

He picked out a few pieces of strange-shaped iron ore from the warehouse, threw them into the furnace and started smelting them.

"Brother Hu, is Mr. Yan going to take action himself?" Wei Han asked the burly man beside him in a low voice.

"Of course!" The sturdy man said with a boastful smile, "Old Yan is still as skilled as ever. He not only supervises the work every day, but also forges the forges himself for two hours at night. Who in the army above the rank of captain doesn't want to hold a magical weapon forged by Old Yan? The people who want weapons have already lined up until next year!"

"And Master Yan didn't forge ordinary fine steel weapons. You see, he picked black iron, meteorite iron, black water heavy iron, and earth mother gold. Each one is priceless. Ordinary blacksmiths are not qualified to work with it."

"These minerals are not only rare, but the weapons made from them have special effects. They are either extremely heavy or unstoppable. Some are even more fascinating and even have a deterrent effect."

"oh?"

Wei Han became interested after hearing this.

A weapon of a famous teacher can actually deter weirdness?

It seems that forging is not an easy job.

Moreover, Wei Han didn’t recognize any of these minerals.

His understanding of this industry still needs to be improved.

Yan Jingshan's movements were very skillful. He continuously heated the furnace to smelt the ore, poured out the molten iron and let it cool before starting to forge them one by one.

Every blacksmith involuntarily slowed down his movements.

Including Wei Han, everyone's eyes kept drifting towards Yan Jingshan.

“Ding ding dong!”

The way he hammered the iron was like art; every move was natural and gave people a very natural and perfect feeling.

Wei Han watched the old man silently, and suddenly became very interested in forging.
