Chapter 76: iron

　　 "Ironmaking!" Chen Fan scratched his head, carefully recalled the various indigenous ironmaking techniques, and then nodded slightly: "Well, I can make iron, but where can I find iron ore???"
　　Everything went back to the original point. Chen Fan encountered the same dilemma in his previous life and there was no mine at home.
　　 The previous exploration all the way west was not just looking for various crops, Chen Fan was also looking for various minerals.
　　 It's a pity that he didn't learn how to prospect for minerals in his previous life. In this life, he didn't cultivate any supernatural powers. He couldn't see through the minerals buried in the ground, so he couldn't find a piece of metal ore after a round trip.
　　 It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, even if Chen Fan is full of various indigenous ironmaking techniques.
　　 "Uncle Xiong, what are you looking at?" Xiao Youyou rushed into the room and shook the drops of water on her body.
　　 Chen Fan said, "I'm preparing to find some iron ore to tap a big iron pot so that we can make something more delicious."
　　 "Iron ore? What is that? Can I find it there?" Xiao Youyou asked three times curiously.
　　 Chen Fan said helplessly: "If I know, I don't have to sit here and worry."
　　 Xiaoyouyou immediately suggested: "Go and ask Auntie Queen Bee, she must know how long she has been alive."
　　 "Well, that's right."
　　……
　　 Evening.
　　 "What do you want iron ore for?" The queen bee heard that Chen Fan was going to tell a new story and strolled over in the rain. By the way, she asked him for more bean paste buns.
　　 "Make a big iron pot." Chen Fan gestured: "So I can make more kinds of food."
　　 The queen bee was dumbfounded: "The other demon kings are looking for iron ore to forge weapons and armor. You actually did it for food? But you know how to strike iron?"
　　 "How fresh." Chen Fan said with a self-confidence: "As long as it is something that I eat, there is nothing I can't do."
　　 "Sure, this matter is on my body." The queen bee readily responded to the matter.
　　Chen Fan asked curiously, "Is there a way out for your mother?"
　　 The queen bee smiled and said, "I met a little fairy who is good at drilling mountains and burrowing. I took a few gems and ran me here to exchange honey for honey. Ask it maybe it knows there are iron ore veins."
　　 "Oh, why didn't I think of this." Chen Fan said and looked at the bamboo rat king in a green coat.
　　 "What do you want me to do?" The Bamboo Rat King immediately flicked the strands of green hair and said, "My son has already cultivated a good result, but he won't do the dirty work."
　　 "This month's drinks doubled."
　　 "Deal! But what does the old bear look like?"
　　 "Uh...should it be black?"
"you ask me?"
　　 "Nonsense, I'm not good at drilling holes. Some are white. I only remember that the iron ore in the open air seems to be red."
　　 "Alright, alright." The queen bee said impatiently: "Tell the story first. It is not anxious to discuss the matter of finding the stone. What story will I tell tonight?"
　　 Chen Fan smiled slightly: "Tell a ghost story tonight!"
　　 All the demons shuddered together, because the ghost stories that Chen Fan told were so scary.
　　 "Oh, can you change one?" the queen bee twisted.
　　 Chen Fan smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother, the ghost stories tonight will not scare the monsters at all."
　　 "Success." The queen bee warned seriously: "If you tell those unreliable ghost stories again, be careful that I will never give you bees again."
Chen Fan laughed a few times. He picked up Xingmu and slapped the desk and preached directly: "It is said that there is a place called Wuzhou in the mortal world. There was originally an ancient temple in the northern suburbs of Wuzhou city. After the change, after the war and turmoil, there was no incense. The monks in the temple were also scattered, gradually dilapidated and ruined. Decades later, almost no one in the nearby villages and towns remembered the name of this dilapidated ancient temple. Older people vaguely remember that this ancient temple was originally called... Lanruo Temple!"
　　 BoomWow! It coincided with a thunderstorm outside the house!
　　Obviously only heard the beginning, but when Chen Fan said the three words Lanruo Temple, the demons shivered inexplicably, as if they were shivering just by hearing the name.
　　 "On this day, a weak scholar, named Ning Caichen..."
　　……
　　 The next morning, the heavy rain finally stopped after three consecutive days.
　　 Chen Fan opened the door and took a few breaths of fresh air, then lit the stove and put the steamer on.
　　 was busy and suddenly saw the bamboo rat king, who was holding bamboo slips in his hand and making a cold and sad autumn shape, stepping forward, chanting goosebumps in his mouth.
　　 "What are you guys doing?"
　　 "Old Xiong, I figured it out. I'm not a son-in-law. I want to be a scholar and go to my Xiaoqian." The bamboo mouse king stroked his long and elegant green hair, pretending to be chic.
　　 Chen Fan immediately looked around for something that could drive away demons and evil spirits, and finally picked up the rolling pin directly!
　　 Bamboo Rat King immediately stopped and said: "Stop! The gentleman talks and the villain does it, old Xiong, this is what you said yourself, you must be civilized and polite to be a demon, don't just copy guys and cut people!
　　 Chen Fan thought for a while and nodded: "Well, you're right, I apologize to you." After speaking, he raised his rolling pin and drove the bamboo mouse king around!
　　 The bamboo rat king hugged his head and said: "Wow! Why did you apologize and smash me? Are you still unreasonable?
　　 "Yes, I already apologized to you first!" This is a straightforward statement, but it makes the bamboo mouse king irrefutable~EbookFREE.me~ Heck, what are you playing with, Uncle Xiong? "Xiao Youyou just smiled and asked.
"Good girl, save my life!" The Bamboo Rat King immediately hid behind Xiao Youyou, leaving Chen Fan no chance to start, so he could only hold the rolling pin and said: "Xiao Youyou quickly hold your father, he is evil, I I am about to help him physically exorcise evil spirits."
　　 Xiaoyouyou leaned forward and back for a while, giggling and said: "Uncle Bear, don't play, Aunt Queen Bee asked me to come and visit her for a visit. The little fairy who can drill mountains and holes is here."
　　 "Oh, yes, I'm going now." Chen Fan put away the rolling pin, business matters.
　　 followed Xiao Youyou to the hive, and saw a giant elephant-sized armored beast squatting under the cliff, and after looking inside, he found that it was a giant gorilla.
　　 "Huh? You're not the one..." Chen Fan looked at the giant diamond mountain bee and remembered the first time he came to steal a bee and met the same fellow, but he didn't expect to see each other again after a few years.
　　 Drill Shan Jiajing looked back at Chen Fan, nodded slightly and said: "I am Lushan, I have seen King Swallowing Heaven."
　　 Chen Fan said in surprise: "Do you recognize me?"
　　 Drill Shanjia said: "The King Black Needle mentioned you and told me that you are looking for iron ore."
　　 "Oh." Chen Fan nodded and asked, "Then do you know there is iron ore there? I'll exchange something delicious with you."
　　 Drill Shanjia said: "I know an iron mine, but there is a powerful demon king entrenched there. If you need iron ore urgently, I can steal a little bit every time and exchange it with you."
Chen Fan thought for a while and he didn't plan to popularize ironware on a large scale. He just planned to build an iron pot and some farm tools. He calculated the amount and said, "Then you can take some samples and show me first. This is a deposit." Several bean paste buns wrapped in bamboo leaves.
