803 Tool Improvements (25/50)
That's naturally to let the people above pay attention to him, a small shop like sesame grains.
If Gu Zheng can create skills and tools that are useful to the people's livelihood and society that move the imperial court, then he can be rewarded by Shangguan.
It's best to be able to go straight to heaven to achieve his goal of hugging the thickest thighs in this world.
By the way, I will report He Shuimo's revenge for trying to bully and embezzle other people's property, improve the situation that the Han Dynasty court does not pay enough attention to craftsmen, and by the way, also walk out of a broad road for yourself that will leave a name in history.
Gu Zheng, who finished pondering, just did what he said.
He didn't go to the highest goal all at once, and now his level is a few pounds and a few taels, and he is still very numerous, since he has opened the front door panel, let's deal with the business matters on weekdays first.
Gu Zheng, who paced to the edge of the tool rack on the side of the shop, began to look at the bamboo sticks inserted on the top.
Gu Zheng's master is very remarkable, when he was working in the workshop, because of his relationship with the knife and pen clerk, he learned a few big characters next to him when the other party was registered.
In today's dynasty, where writing is very uncommon, his master can be called a cultured person.
This bamboo slip is engraved with the gradually emerging and mature official script, for a somewhat obscure small seal, this font is more convenient for people to learn and record.
But the original client's brain was not very bright, even if the master repeatedly taught the meaning of these fonts, he could forget the time he turned his head to drink a bowl of water.
For the existence of this kind of dog brain, his master can be regarded as having lost confidence.
Later, in order to make things easier and let his apprentices know what work to do, the master of the Chen family also deliberately created a set of symbols that only he and his apprentices could understand.
Simple even ...... The dog's brain also remembers.
No, Gu Zheng compared the depictions on the bamboo slips, and looked at these all kinds of farm tools and utensils, but with a cup of tea, he checked them all and understood.
So without further ado, let's start with the simplest start.
To say that the blacksmith shop in the old days was not a single tool for making, but also for casting utensils.
At that time, anything related to the tools commonly used by the people could be sent to the blacksmith to be operated.
For example, the scissors that are now in front of Gu Zheng, the blades on both sides have become pitted because of years of use, and they have long lost the function that a pair of scissors should have.
But this knife is really made of iron.
In ordinary people's homes, they are objects that can be used for a long time.
An iron pair of scissors that they can use for a long time, and as long as the blade is not broken or broken, they can use this scissors for a lifetime.
And sharpening scissors has also become one of the most basic jobs in the blacksmith shop.
It's just that even the well-informed Gu Zheng feels rare about this new broken scissors.
The cover is because the scissors of this period, and the modern convenient and lightweight scissors, the difference in the standard is too great.
It's not that it's vulgar in appearance.
Unlike our modern people, who have the impression that they are vulgar when they mention ancient times, this civilian scissors are really exquisite.
It is only about 20 centimeters long, and its shape is just a knife shaped by hammering the ends of an iron bar, sharpening a sharp edge at the blade, and then bending the iron bar into an "S" shape so that the blades at both ends correspond to each other.
When in use, people can cut things by pressing the blades at both ends.
As soon as you let go, the scissors rely on the elasticity of wrought iron to return to their original shape, just like modern people use tweezers.
For this style of scissors, the strength of the user's hand is a key, and there is another crucial condition that must be met.
That is the edge of the blade, it must be sharp, preferably to the point where it is effective to touch.
Otherwise, it would be a waste of the boss's strength to use this kind of scissors to cut cloth and silk, and even to cook meat and fur.
And this simple work of grinding scissors is also very important in the eyes of ordinary people.
How long the blades that have been cooked by the master in the blacksmith shop can be used, and whether there is actual damage to the long-term use of the scissors, are very important to these neighbors.
So, let's use this scissors from the house of Mrs. Liu from the east of the county to make his first name after Gu Zheng came to this world.
Many people will ask, isn't this the job of sharpening scissors and kitchen knives?
Nowadays, this kind of work is rare in big cities, but a few years ago, there were really many people doing this kind of business on the streets.
But just because it seems like an easy job, it creates a misunderstanding that people who have never been in contact with this work have no technical content.
In fact, sharpening scissors is actually more difficult than ordinary knives.
Because of the scissors system, its knife shape is thin and thick, showing a slightly progressive state.
When sharpening it, it needs a straight cutting edge and a fit on both sides of the blade.
First of all, look at whether there is deformation or bounce on the surface of the fit, and if so, correct and smooth it first.
If this side is normally single-sharpened, it needs to be flat when the cutting edge is reopened.
If there is no knowledgeable person to instruct, coupled with repeated hand practice, suddenly let people get started directly, and there is only one result, that is, the more grinding becomes more and more dull, and in the end, it becomes a completely scrapped piece of iron.
This job, if you think Gu Zheng did it well, it was not bad, and it was not a stupid person who made up for it by working carefully.
But if this job is done by the current Gu Zheng, it will not just be polished.
This ancient pair of scissors directly let him play with flowers.
The current scissors are not easy to use even if they are sharpened, looking at this tool called scissors that is actually tweezers, Gu Zheng subconsciously picked up the tool next to him, 'clicked', and disconnected the wire connected in the middle of the scissors.
And this semi-formed scissors, even the early steel test, embedding, forging, quenching, grinding process does not need to be carried out, only need to be punched and fit on the two blades, you can appear a freshly baked slightly rough, but advanced enough modern standard scissors.
Gu Zheng, who has already completed the scissors grinding, keeps working with his subordinates, because of the limitations of the existing tools, except for the temporary joint on the two pieces of scissors, which are a little jerky when used, the scissors after molding are not much different from the scissors used by modern people.
For the birth of the world's first real scissors, Gu Zheng is still very satisfied, he carefully knocked the protruding wire with a small hammer after cutting, and after trying it in his hand, he confirmed that this scissors can be used.
And it was such a coincidence, and the news that the blacksmith of the Chen family had opened the board for business also reached the ears of the guests who had jobs stored here for the first time.
If you want to talk about the most anxious, it is still this matchmaker Liu, she does this business, and she spends time in the ushering and sending from time to time.
If the head of the city in this township makes a list, then the thank-you gift is more than some big money, food, or rulers.
In these days, silk silk was a rare object that could only be seen in wealthy families.
The gift to Mrs. Liu Matchmaker thanked the matchmaker, which was a one-two-foot square piece of material cut from a piece of fabric, and handed it over to mean the meaning.
But it's just a two-foot addition, and in the eyes of ordinary people, it's also a valuable thing.
It's a pity that now, when Mrs. Liu is walking the streets...... The scissors that had to be pinned to the small cloth bag around her waist all the time were placed by her in Chen Ji's blacksmith shop, and this time it was delayed for nearly ten days.
Ping Suli caught up with the farmer Xie Media twice, and the thick white silk was replaced by the mother-in-law who was in charge with home-grown rice beans because she did not prepare the tools herself.
That kind of multigrain noodles can be exchanged for a few silver coins, and when she carried it home, she was tired and half dead, and it made the neighbors around her think that she had made a lot of money, which was unhappy.
No, Gu Zheng just took out the scissors with a little hot temperature on the front foot, and the matchmaker Liu entered Chen Ji's blacksmith shop on the back foot.
