"What are you betting on?" Ren Baqian asked with annoyance, trying his best to be as anxious as he is currently.

"When I see your expression, I know that you have plans in your heart and want to slander me." Tong Zhenye did not take his tricks at all. After carefully observing Ren Baqian's expression, he immediately sneered at his nose.

Ren Baqian looked at Tong Zhenye with some pain. Who said that the ancient tribesmen were all straightforward?

This old man just looks straightforward.

"Do you want me to explore the enemy situation for you?" Tong Zhenye smiled.

"If Lord Tong is idle and has nothing to do," Ren Baqian said without comment.

"Haha, I'm just talking. I have confidence in Lord Ren. If I go, they will underestimate Lord Ren." Tong Zhenye beat him up.

Ren Baqian is really itchy this time. This old man is here to tease him today, right?

Seeing Tong Zhenye walking out with his hands behind his back, humming a small mountain song while walking, Ren Baqian was even more convinced of this.

Ren Baqian thought for a long time but couldn't figure out why he had provoked him recently. He didn't think about it anymore. Ren Baqian walked back to the house and took out a few bundles of steel wires of different thicknesses and threw them to the blacksmith.

Faced with the spring steel wire taken out by Ren Baqian, several blacksmiths were extremely surprised after trying it. Even if they had never been exposed to various alloys made in modern times, they could find that the steel wire that Ren Baqian gave them was completely different from everything they had seen before.

After wrapping the wire around the arm for several turns and then loosening it, the wire can actually bounce straight, rather than being distorted like ordinary steel.

Not to mention that these steel wires are completely inconsistent, and they are thick and thin from beginning to end, but there are no traces of knocking, which makes several blacksmiths feel that these steel wires are natural, not made by man.

Not long after, the sound of pounding steel came from the yard.

However, a new problem soon emerged, that is, the wires would become brittle after they were heated and hit, or other problems arise.

Although giving them some time may find a solution, the most lacking thing at the moment is time.

"It's okay, I'm just giving you a try." Ren Baqian waved his hand and smiled in the face of the blacksmith's question.

He had known this before. This is a special purpose carbon spring steel wire, which is difficult to deal with in this era. After secondary treatment, it is easy to change the free gas and carbon content in the steel wire, and at the same time, it is also necessary to change the performance of the steel wire in all aspects.

What he brought was just a cover-up.

After he got his words, the blacksmiths were excited to carry rolls of steel wires back to make various attempts, and soon discovered new uses of these steel wires, such as braiding them into whips, and they could lose half their lives if they whip them down...

In this regard, Ren Baqian can only say that he really underestimated the ancient clan's paranoidness in weapons.

No matter what comes into their hands, you will soon find the purpose of attacking others.

Even if it is just a steel wire, it can be used to draw people.

The three items in the bet, and one of them was dyeing, which went very smoothly.

Dayao had no textile technology at all, nor did he have the technology to dye fabrics, so he just found a few smart craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry.

Dyes are direct dyes of various colors brought back by Ren Baqian. Not only are they complete with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, but each color is also divided into three types.

For example, yellow is light yellow, lemon yellow, golden, red is bright red, bright red, peach red...

If it weren't for the limited amount of things he carried, he could bring back thirty colors each, and then he would create 210 colors, which would ensure that the Zhang family would begin to doubt their lives.

As for the fabric, it is cotton cloth brought back from the earth, each piece is seven feet wide and three feet long.

Finally, the color fixing agent.

The dye of Ren Baqian belt is bright in color. The only disadvantage is that it is easy to fade after encountering water. In fact, most dyes are like this. Although Ren Baqian doesn’t know what methods the other party has used to reduce fading, I think it is some local methods. Even if it reduces fading, it will only reduce to a certain extent.

The color fixing agent is completely different. The epoxy group in the color fixing agent forms a covalent bond with certain groups in the fiber dye molecules, which can achieve the effect of stabilizing dyeing.

First, soak the cotton cloth directly in the dye and dry it. Determine whether to dye again depending on the situation. Then soak it in a fixed agent liquid of a certain temperature for fifteen minutes and then dry it. What these craftsmen need to do is very simple, and they have already done it in three days.

In fact, Ren Baqian was busy this time, which Zhang Junzheng ignored the least, and what he had been doing in the yard was also distillation.

Ren Baqian had long wanted to make wine. You must know whether this world is due to a special environment or is filled with some substances different from the earth. Not only is the meat delicious and contains energy that can replenish the body, but the fruits and grains taste extremely sweet. If you use the same method to make wine, it will be much better than the earth's wine.

If the winemaking technology in this world was not a bit backward, the empress wouldn't have to hold Erguotou every day.

After three days, Ren Baqian finally made a pot still.

At this time, the aroma of the wine in the next yard had already begun to dissipate. It seemed that their wine had been finished, but the sound of ironclads would be heard constantly every day.

On the fourth day, a strong aroma of wine began to spread from the yard where Ren Baqian and others were, with a strong smell, making people drool when they smelled it outside.

The first person to discover was Zhang Heqi and others in the next yard, and then Zhang Junzheng ran out with a sleepy look after receiving an urgent report.

As soon as he smelled the aroma of wine, Zhang Jun's face changed: "What a rich fragrance!"

The progress of Ren Baqian's brewing wine can be seen with just a nose. Now, it is the first time that the aroma of wine is heard in Ren Baqian's yard. It is so rich that it has almost been treated by the Zhang family three times.

Although it was not as good as the Zhang family's spirits at this time, Zhang Junzheng had already worried.

After standing in the yard for a while, Zhang Junzheng glanced at the others around him and said in a deep voice: "Everyone does your own thing. This wine is worse than the wine of our Zhang family. And even if you lose this game, it will not affect the overall situation. You just need to do your own thing well."

After hearing Zhang Junzheng's words, the people who were attracted by the fragrance of wine dispersed.

As for the taste of the wine, Zhang Junzheng was not surprised. The one Zhang Junzheng used to compete must be the best wine to impress the empress.
