The next morning, I came to Mingjian Villa to report, today it was Wang Tian as the team leader who held a meeting to arrange work, and privately pulled Su Yuan and said: "Brother, our friendship is friendship, but the work can't be sloppy, today you are on the job for the first time, how about following me to familiarize yourself with the process first?"

Su Yuan nodded in agreement, this kind of thing can't be rushed, followed Wang Tian to the sword test field, and watched the whole process of the sword test on the side.

"Each sword test costs five hundred, and there are twenty venues that can be carried out at the same time, and each round is 10,000 yuan. ”

Wang Tian sorted out the items and introduced to Su Yuan: "Don't underestimate this ten thousand, do you know how many rounds our villa can turn over every day?"

"At least seven or eight rounds! The light list sword test makes a net profit of seventy or eighty thousand a day, right?"

Su Yuan looked at Wang Tian's envious and jealous expression, and asked casually, "The human list is trying the sword, isn't the earth list and the heavenly list here?"

"Nonsense, what kind of master can come to chop copper coins and straw mats?" Wang Tianyi pursed his lips, pointed to the innermost corner of the square and said: "That is the trial ground for real sword casting masters, and at least three sword masters will supervise and pass at the same time each time, and the results will be considered valid." ”

Su Yuan helped Wang Tian tidy up the straw mat, picked up a bundle, the thickness of the bowl, and inserted it into the wooden stake forcefully, fixed it, so that it was convenient to test the sword.

The copper coin is also uniformly customized, and the sword test in Longquan is this standard, which can reflect the hardness of the sword, which is an old rule that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

The toughness of the straw mat is about the same as that of human skin, so it is used to test the sharpness of the sword, Su Yuan has also cut it a few times, and the best result is only two seats, and the incision is not smooth, and the force exceeds the sharpness of the sword itself.

"That's it, ready to pick up!"

Wang Tian clapped his hands, this kind of work has to be carried out every day, and he has long been familiar with the road. At nine o'clock, the sword test officially began, and you could hear a noise at the door from afar, and it seemed that there were many people waiting.

The clock rang at nine o'clock, the gate opened, and a crowd of people poured into the square, began to line up to pay, and then received the number plate, waiting for the sword test.

Su Yuan stood next to him and was responsible for recording the results, Wang Tian was responsible for testing the sword, they were the No. 1 platform, and soon several people came to the front and started the first step, cutting copper coins.

"Open!"

With one shout after another, the square resounded with the sound of collision one after another, and it became lively in an instant. After a few rounds, the work is very easy, each round of sword testing is a maximum of fifteen minutes, according to the requirements of the swordsmith to arrange the corresponding number of copper coins and straw mats, the rest is to record the verification results.

"No. 3, four coins and two seats, complete the sword test. ”

"Five, five coins a seat, complete the sword test. ”

"No. 8, five coins and two seats, complete the sword test. ”

While recording his achievements, Su Yuan gradually found out a lot of experience through the observation of swordsmanship. In his eyes, they were basically white light swords, some bright, some dim, depending on the level of the swordsmith.

Each time you cut a copper coin, the light must have weakened, and the more you slash it, the sharpness of the sword decreases, and this change is clear at a glance.

Sure enough, you didn't come to the wrong place!

Su Yuan was secretly happy in his heart, only the Famous Sword Villa could provide so much research data, it was like playing a copy of a game, and there were monsters all over the place who could brush up on experience, this wave of people was cool!

As the morning went on, Su Yuan became more and more aware of the swordsmanship, and the advantages and disadvantages of each sword were nothing to hide in his eyes, and he was accurate at a glance.

"Master Zhang, how are your results today?"

"Hey, it's still the same, four dollars and two seats, the same as last year. ”

"My sword has cut off one more copper coin, and it is not in vain. ”

Many swordsmiths did not leave after completing the sword test, and gathered in groups to chat, as if they were waiting for something?

"The sword test in the morning was completed, and the best result was Li Dahong's Liuyun Sword, six coins and two seats, congratulations!"

With the announcement of the results on the radio, the sword test ended in the morning, and the crowd slowly dispersed. Several people surrounded a middle-aged man and congratulated: "Okay, Lao Li, this time the results are good, six dollars and two seats are the first place!"

"Six dollars and two seats? I remember that the thirty people on the list only had six dollars and three seats, isn't it ......?"

"Yes, if you work hard, you will be on the list!"

Lao Li looked at a few acquaintances, and did not show any excitement, but said with a wry smile on his face: "How easy is it to talk about people!"

"Don't hide it from a few brothers, don't say it's six dollars, I still have a sword in my hand that can cut seven dollars, but it's a pity ......"

"What? You have a better sword, why don't you take it out?"

"Really, are you the legendary hidden master of fame and fortune?"

After hearing this, Lao Li said helplessly: "Fart, what are you doing in the Famous Sword Villa if you are indifferent to fame and fortune? You have a short time for sword casting, and you don't understand the world of difference between two grass mats and three grass mats!"

Su Yuan happened to walk to the side, stopped curiously, and Lao Li sighed and said: "For a senior swordsmith, cutting copper coins is not a difficult task, I have also seen ten copper coins cut off with a sword, but I am not qualified to be on the list." ”

"A sword, as long as you grasp the forging and quenching well, can basically cut five copper coins, which is the most entry-level level in Longquan, and it can only represent that the hardness is qualified. ”

"The real power is to cut the straw mat, don't look at the straw mat is soft, in fact, it is far more difficult to cut than copper coins!"

Su Yuan nodded secretly after listening, he finally had someone who understood, the seemingly simple two sword trial processes actually contained a true meaning of the sword that had been inherited for thousands of years.

Ten years of sharpening a sword!

To put it simply, the hardness of the sword basically depends on the forging process and quenching, in which the impurities are removed and refined into steel by constantly beating and folding, and the strength of the sword is maximized.

But the key factor in determining whether a sword is sharp or not is not them, but polishing!

This is a profound science, not only sharpness, but also the pattern depends on it. Deer grinding, burning and grinding, fine grinding and Ying, a hundred schools of thought contend, each with its own merits.

According to the Ben Ami Chronicles, when a craftsman was working, he held a knife in his hand for ten or even twenty days, and observed it repeatedly until he understood the knife before he could begin to sharpen.

"So don't look at me and the last place on the list, it seems that I am only a bundle of straw mats, but in fact, I am far behind!" Lao Li sighed with emotion: "I know the swordsmith of the Panlong Sword, do you know how long he has been grinding?"

"Two years!"

In a word, everyone looks at each other, what is the concept of two years?

Even Su Yuan didn't expect that it would not take one or two hours for the Longquan Sword Forger to polish the sword, at least six hours a day, after more than a dozen different processes, every step could not be wrong, and the sharp sword blade could only be polished in strict accordance with the process.

Two years!

Lao Li looked at his friend's stunned expression, and said with interest: "Now that I know, I understand, if the sword list was so easy, the signboard of that Sword Villa would have been rotten a long time ago!"

Su Yuan came to the cafeteria, Wang Tian asked him to eat together, and halfway through eating, Liu Quan came over with a lunch box and asked with a smile: "How was the first day on the job?"

Su Yuan stood up and said, "I learned a lot from Team Leader Wang, no problem." ”

"Well, do a good job!" Liu Quan nodded, said hello to Wang Tian, and turned to leave. Wang Tian's eyes were hot, and he was sure once again that Su Yuan must have something to do with Liu Quan, this is a hidden little boss!
