Compared with ordinary iron furnaces, the liquefied gas iron furnace saves the trouble of pulling the wind direction, and the fire power is strong enough, which can heat up the steel material in a short time to the extent that it is convenient for forging.

Ji An turned on his mobile phone to play the teaching video, put it on the workbench, and reviewed it. In other words, he couldn't read the book, it was densely packed with words, and he was sleepy when he saw it. However, while actually operating, he explained the video at the same time, and he would not get tired from watching it all afternoon.

Striking iron is not as troublesome as imagined, the basic process is only a few steps, heating, forging, quenching, the difference is only in the blacksmith's craftsmanship or not.

Suddenly remembering that she needed borax, Ji An raised her head, Hu Ai brought a bowl of white powder, and a piece of scrap iron lump suitable for newcomers to practice, put it on the workbench, she said: "Little brother, you study slowly, I'll practice for a while." ”

Ji An: "Okay, thank you~"

Hu Ai said that the raw material of this iron lump is steel, and Ji An can't tell the difference, so he is called an iron lump by the way.

Put the iron in the furnace with pliers, and the iron stove whines and spews tongues of fire to heat the iron lumps.

Ji An looked at the stove, the iron slowly turned red from the beginning, gradually shiny, and then turned bright yellow, how much temperature Ji An didn't know, and the people in the past didn't know the specific temperature, didn't they also strike iron?

Looking at the color, it feels similar to the one in the video, Ji An is wearing heavy protective gloves, holding pliers with both hands, picking out iron blocks and sprinkling some borax. In high-temperature environments, borax dissolves metal oxides, facilitating the purification of metal surfaces.

After heating it back for a while, Ji An put the bright yellow iron on the anvil and held the hammer. The first hammer went down, and the sparks splashed everywhere......

Outside the studio, the tennis ball that rebounded back was snatched away by the fat tiger, and he kindly took it and put it in Hu Ai's hand.

Hu Ai smiled helplessly and took the saliva-stained tennis ball, touched his fat head and said, "Fat Tiger, you go and sit next to you first, I'll play with you later, okay?"

"Wang~" The little fat man didn't agree, and barked to urge Hu Ai to throw it quickly.

didn't turn on the punch, and the fire of the big stove was also reduced, Ji An heard the sound outside, walked out, and pointed the hammer in his hand at the fat tiger: "Don't make trouble, go and sit next to it." ”

In Ji An's hands, the fat tiger is a smart and clever little fat man, found a shady place, squatted down, snorted and stuck out his tongue, and looked enviously at the young lady who didn't play with it.

Hu Ai couldn't bear it, so he threw the wet tennis ball in his hand to it, let it nibble on its own, and took out another one.

The studio is tinkling, and the physical strength that Ji An has trained with the dog can keep him pounding for a long time and at a high frequency, and he is definitely an excellent apprentice worker who has made many blacksmiths covet in the past.

Speaking of good physical strength, it seems that everything is taken advantage of, the leader is satisfied outside, the customer is satisfied, and the daughter-in-law must be satisfied when he returns home~

Hearing the jingling sound for a long time without stopping, Hu Ai unexpectedly glanced at Ji An, who was pounding in the studio.

And at this time, Ji An was secretly refreshing, no joke, every time he hammered down, the impurities in the bright yellow iron were squeezed out, and the feeling was not ordinary refreshing.

He thought about starting a live broadcast to let everyone cool down together, but now he is not even a three-legged cat blacksmith, in order to avoid being ugly, Ji An plans to wait until he is skilled to start a live broadcast in the future.

With a hammer and continuous knocking, while the iron was deformed, the color slowly darkened, turned red and hard, and it felt like it couldn't be knocked anymore, Ji An put it back in the iron furnace and continued to heat it.

Repeated heating and forging, the original iron lump gradually extended, Ji An deliberately controlled, and hammered the iron lump into a square long strip.

It is then folded from the middle and forged twice.

Time passed unconsciously in Ji An's hammering, at half past five in the afternoon, Hu Ai, who had stopped practicing, was playing with the little fat man, and the iron in Ji An's hand had been folded three times, and due to the impurities being beaten out, the iron had shrunk by nearly one-fourth.

The iron block is not Damascus steel, but it is played in Damascus steel, and the more times it is folded, the better the texture of the tempered steel, and the sharper it will be after being beaten into a knife.

After being folded more than a certain number of times, a magical pattern will be formed on the blade, which can be called the natural beauty of artificial carving.

Try your hand today, Ji An plans to practice for two more days and then go to the punch, he has a goal, his knife, to fold a million layers!

This goal is not impossible to achieve, folding once is two layers, folding twice is four layers, if you use 10 pieces of steel to fuse together at the beginning to forge, folding once is 20 layers.

No matter how good Ji An's physical strength is, it can't compare to the punch, and after completing the three folds, he exhales and puts down the hammer. Let the iron anneal naturally at room temperature, and then beat it again tomorrow.

took off his work clothes and protective gloves and walked out, the little fat man was already familiar with Hu Ai, lying on the ground and asking the young lady to rub his belly.

Hu Ai's face is cute and satisfying the fat tiger.

I was going back for dinner in the evening, and Ji An saw that the time was almost up and was ready to leave.

Thinking of the care of his thick beard, Ji An said at the door: "Your brother said that it is not safe nearby, don't go out when it's dark." Remember to call me in the evening if something happens. ”

Hu Ai nodded obediently.

…………

At night, Ji An was lying in bed bored and watching videos, and someone posted a video of his ice bucket challenge on the Internet.

Dream bubbles are invalid for pictures and videos, and the following comments are divided into two factions and are very noisy.

The panda fans who were recruited in the afternoon watched it again, and they could vaguely recall the cold feeling at that time. But netizens who didn't get caught said they didn't react.

Ji An quarreled with them, just like seeing a plate of spicy crayfish photos when he was hungry, he naturally made up the taste of spicy crayfish in his brain, and couldn't help but salivate.

Feeling is an ethereal thing, and only at the time of experience can people be sure of the reality of feeling, and the same is true for dreams and hallucinations. Otherwise, as long as people think about the taste of crayfish every day, they don't need vegetables, and a bowl of white rice can be eaten happily.

The dream bubble is too short, only for a moment, and when you think about it later, all that remains in your mind is a gradually blurred memory.

The two factions quarreled back and forth, Ji An turned off his mobile phone and prepared to go to bed, how could even panda fans themselves be unsure of things to trouble him, and what could they do with him if they found out that they were different?

They can only be strange in addition to being strange.

The next day, the autumn tiger Yu Wei passed, and in the early hours of the morning, a heavy rain extinguished the heat of the day, and the temperature dropped to 24 or 5 degrees in the morning.

In the afternoon, someone in the live broadcast room asked Ji An to challenge the ice bucket again, Ji An: "What should I do if I have a cold? ”
