106 Kitchen knives are not easy to make
It rained heavily overnight and gradually became lighter in the morning.
For this sudden heavy rain, various news stations also carried out relevant reports. Some meteorologists even gave a "very reasonable" explanation, which sounded quite like the truth, and they understood the truth by themselves.
This rain is really not small, and it directly filled up the originally somewhat dry river, but fortunately, the river was still smooth and did not overflow into Liu Heming's pasture, which made him somewhat relieved.
drove the car and brought his daughter and two bear children to the town. Good guys, Lewis is going to make a lot of money this time, and there are no more trucks in his parking lot.
The rain was so heavy this time that they wouldn't have taken the risk of running on the road unless they were in a hurry.
Liu Heming didn't come to the restaurant empty-handed this time, he brought fish fillets and spices, and made a special pot of boiled fish for his three employees through the kitchen of the restaurant.
The girls had a great time, and it wasn't just them, but the waiters and chefs at Lewis's Restaurant followed suit. Anyway, it's who catches up with whom, and it's not such expensive food.
"Dexter, why do I think Alex's face is a little red, is it a little cold after entering the water yesterday?" After coming to John's side, John looked at Alex's little face and asked worriedly.
"It may be that she ate too much fish yesterday, and her temperature taken today is normal, and she doesn't feel anything uncomfortable. Liu Heming touched the little guy's head and said with a smile.
He was worried, too, but the little one didn't do anything. He thought that it might be that the little guy didn't eat much fish and chili peppers and peppers before, and yesterday's boiled fish suddenly made the little guy greedy. Fish makes fire, and meat produces phlegm?
Arrived at John's blacksmith's shop, where John had already prepared the materials.
"I've collected all these materials over the years, so you can take whatever you need. Seeing Liu Heming's gaze on the material, John said with a smile.
"Well, John, I don't know anything about this material. I'm going to make two knives, one for chopping vegetables and one for chopping bones. Then make two pots, one for the cooktop and one for the outdoors. Liu Heming said with some embarrassment.
"The one for outdoor use is bigger, like yesterday, so I can make more dishes at once instead of having to go back and forth several times. ”
He was really embarrassed and ran over in a hurry, but he didn't know what kind of material to use to make knives. The only thing he knew was that cutting vegetables and meat was definitely different from chopping bones.
"Well, if you're chopping vegetables, choose these ingredients, they're harder. And I think it's better to cut bones with more toughness, otherwise it will be easy to collapse. As for the material of the pot, I'm a little unsure. John thought for a moment and gave advice.
"John, wait a minute. Liu Heming hurriedly took out his mobile phone, and no matter what time it was, he threw a message asking for help in the group, and asked his friends to help check what material was used.
During this time, I patronized and played with my daughter, where did I have so much time to chat with my friends. It doesn't matter if he throws out the news, it almost makes the little mess he built, and the prompt sound on the mobile phone keeps ringing.
There was no choice but to say his own things again, and the big guy sent him a message.
People say that such a stir-fry iron pot is best cast with pig iron, although it is thicker, but it has unique benefits for making Chinese food.
Hand the phone to his daughter, let her chat with them in English, and he studied it with John. Casting is easy to do, the molten iron is good as soon as it is burned, and the difficulty is in the production of molds.
Liu Heming couldn't solve this problem, so he could only hand it over to John. After writing down his requirements for the shape and size of the two iron pots, Liu Heming began to wear them.
When the molten iron was melting, Liu Heming glanced at his daughter, and the little guy was still chatting happily with his mobile phone. She had never had the experience of chatting with so many people she didn't know before.
When he first came over, Liu Heming was very ambitious and felt that building a kitchen knife should be a very simple thing. Come in the morning, and when you go home in the evening, you can carry a kitchen knife to cut wires, sparks and lightning along the way.
He felt that he had the experience of making horseshoes, and that he didn't make kitchen knives with a handle, but when he actually made them, he knew what it was easier said than done.
To make a good knife, you need to keep forging it. Even if the original material is already good, you can improve the performance of the tool by putting in the effort to forge it.
He can appropriately reduce some of the forging time, but how to ensure the smoothness of the blade is really a technical job. If you use a lot of force, you will hammer a hole in the knife body, and you see someone's kitchen knife with pits. And if the blade is not hammered well, the center of gravity will also deviate.
For this job, Liu Heming started to get it here, and he didn't master this skill when he couldn't eat.
John didn't help him, in fact, it was also a matter of mastering power. If it is a person with little strength, it is nothing, but he has seen Liu Heming's strength, how to handle it, Liu Heming can realize it by himself, then he will be handy when he makes other utensils in the future.
The blacksmith's craft may seem complicated, but it's actually basic. It's simple, but it's also hard to master. John has been playing iron for many years, and Liu Heming has only been playing for a few days.
I went directly to Lewis's restaurant for lunch, and before I knew it, the rain finally stopped, and then I looked at the girl's side, okay, the mobile phone directly called the police with a low battery.
It's not a difficult thing to do, and after dinner, let the girl play on John's computer. Anyway, many of their buddies are night owls, and it is their honor to let them stay up late to chat with their daughters.
After another afternoon of tempering, Liu Heming finally mastered some skills. But don't expect to be able to get the kitchen knife done today, it's okay to replace it with John, he really didn't hit.
By the time he finished work, John had a rough idea of the pot mold. Including the selection of materials, you can make it tomorrow.
made Liu Heming very impressed, this is the real expert, as soon as he makes a move, he will know if there is one. Usually John doesn't talk much, but in terms of iron, he really thinks that John is a master, and John is very talented in this area.
