Chapter 25 The Best Way to Live at Home
Fifty or the cost price?
This time, the shock in the hearts of Mangu, Ning Mo and others was all reversed.
Ning Mo and the others were all happy in their hearts, secretly admiring Qin Hai for being ruthless and black enough, and at the same time calculating how much profit they could make if this dagger was sold for fifty yuan, whether they could buy a box of Chinese cigarettes to open foreign meat in a while.
The brute had an impulse to run wild, he felt that the glorious image of this little Qin master in his mind had completely collapsed, and he had become a profiteer who ate people and did not spit out bones, he first let Ge Dongyan try the knife, and when he found out that Ge Dongyan couldn't put down this dagger, he offered a sky-high price, wanting to slaughter Ge Dongyan fiercely.
"Master Xiao Qin, your price is too unauthentic, isn't it? You people in the city earn a lot of money, and your monthly salary is five yuan, right, and you dare to ask Dongyan for fifty with a knife? The brute couldn't help but protest.
Qin Hai pointed at Ge Dongyan with a smile and said, "Uncle Ge, you ask Platoon Leader Ge, is it authentic or kind for me to drive fifty." ”
Ge Dongyan stretched out his hand to stop the brute who was about to refute, and said, "Uncle Xi, you are wrong to blame Master Xiao Qin, this knife sells for fifty yuan, which is indeed very kind." ”
"What? Just such a little good steel, selling fifty is still kind? The brute looked at his nephew in disbelief, and thought to himself, could it be that there was something strange in this dagger, his nephew was cast a spell by Qin Hai, right?
Ge Dongyan said: "Uncle Xi, you don't know the difference between steel and steel, the steel used in the equipment of our troops, I heard those engineers say that a kilogram is worth thousands of yuan." The dagger I used to break was a piece of scrap steel left over from the repair equipment, and I paid thirty yuan to the repair factory. The steel used in Master Xiao Qin's dagger is better than my original one, and with the workmanship, it is really kind to sell it for fifty yuan. ”
"Is this true?" The brute turned his head to look at Zhang Laosan and asked him for confirmation.
Zhang Laosan shook his head and said, "I really don't understand this, but I have been striking iron for so many years, and I have indeed never seen such a good steel." Some of the good steel used in the factory sells for hundreds of yuan a catty, and I have also heard of it, since Platoon Commander Ge said this, it must be reasonable. ”
"Of course, you don't know the way, we took out all the money in the factory to make this piece of steel." Ning Mo heard the clue and hurriedly stepped forward to brag for Qin Hai.
"You made this steel yourself?" Ge Dongyan suddenly grasped the core of Ning Mo's words and asked Qin Hai.
Qin Hai nodded and said, "Platoon Commander Ge is a knowledgeable person, do you think this kind of good steel is something we can have in an agricultural machinery factory?" ”
"Is it troublesome to make this kind of steel?" Ge Dongyan asked again.
Qin Haidao: "It's hard to say, because the raw materials are not easy to find, and we have also spent a lot of effort to match these raw materials." However, it is easier said than ......"
"How?" Ge Dongyan asked.
Qin Haidao: "If someone can provide us with chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, titanium and other raw materials, we can come up with formulas and processes, and it is possible to smelt better steel than this." ”
"Ha Luha, Master Xiao Qin is really a smart person. By the way, everyone hasn't eaten yet, Master Zhang, is there any better restaurant next to you, I'll invite you masters to eat. Ge Dongyan praised Qin Hai, and then sent an invitation to everyone.
"Why did he say that Qin Hai was a smart person? What did Qin Hai say? Yu Haitao pulled Miao Lei and inquired in a low voice.
Miao Lei shook his head: "I didn't hear it either, Qin Hai seemed to just say that if someone can provide raw materials or something, nothing else." ”
Ning Mo slapped each of them on the back and said, "Guess what, just listen to Qin Hai." Let's go, the soldier said to invite us all to dinner, and we will give him a hard beating. ”
Under the guidance of Zhang Laosan, everyone came to a small restaurant not too far from the blacksmith shop. Ge Dongyan explained a few words to Mangu, and Mangu took Zhang Laosan to find the restaurant owner to arrange a meal. Ning Mo and the others sat down around the table, and Ge Dongyan naturally sat next to Qin Hai.
"Master Xiao Qin, I understand what you mean, but the supplies on our troops are all counted, and they definitely can't be provided to you. What I just meant was that I just wanted to ask if you could shoot two more daggers of the same size, and I wanted one for each of our company commander and the combat staff officer above. You don't know, these two people are people who love knives, and if they see that I have a good dagger and they don't, they will definitely snatch it from me. Ge Dongyan said to Qin Hai like an angry little daughter-in-law.
Qin Haidao: "Platoon Commander Ge, if it's just one or two daggers, let's go back and collect the excess raw materials in the factory, we should still be able to make them." However, I still have some good things here, and I wonder if Platoon Commander Lu Daoge is interested. ”
"What else is good?" Ge Dongyan's curiosity was aroused.
Qin Hai reached out and took another paper bag from Ning Mo's hand and put it in front of Ge Dongyan. Ge Dongyan opened the paper bag and looked at it, and couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, as if he had a toothache.
It turned out that the paper bag was wrapped in a strange-shaped shovel. The shovel has a foldable handle that is the size of a book when folded, but when unfolded, it becomes a short, easy-to-use spade. Ge Dongyan was not surprised by this design, but what made him feel distressed was that the steel used to make this shovel was clearly the same as the dagger in his hand.
"Such a good steel, you you...... You even use it to make shovels! Ge Dongyan almost wanted to pick up the shovel and slap it on Qin Hai's head a few times. What is called a tyrannical celestial thing, this is called a tyrannical celestial thing! The steel used in this shovel can make several daggers, and Qin Hai just now pretended to say that he had to collect materials from all over the factory to create one or two daggers.
"Platoon Commander Ge, we are an agricultural machinery factory, and making shovels is our business." Qin Hai said to Ge Dongyan seriously.
"But what do you want to do with such a sturdy shovel? Is it used to cut wire? Ge Dongyan asked.
Qin Hai nodded and said, "That's right, this shovel is indeed used to cut wires. ”
"What do you mean?" Ge Dongyan was a little puzzled.
Qin Hai stretched out his hand to Ning Mo again, and Ning Mo quickly handed over a small handful of scrap wire like an omnipotent robot cat. Qin Hai put the wire on the ground, then unfolded the handle of the shovel, picked up the shovel, and chopped it off the scrap wire.
The hardness of the iron wire is not comparable to that of a nail, and a dagger made of this super-strong alloy steel can cut the iron nail, so there is no suspense that this shovel will cut the iron wire. With a spade down, a small handful of wire was neatly cut in two, bursting all over the ground.
"But what's the use?" After seeing the miracle of the dagger sharpening the iron nail just now, and then watching the performance of the shovel cutting the wire, he couldn't surprise Ge Dongyan anymore, he still had a puzzled look, looked at Qin Hai and asked.
"Don't worry, wait until I tell you what this shovel does." Qin Hai said unhurriedly.
"Platoon Chief, come and see, one side of this shovel is a blade, which can be used to chop wood or chop vegetables. On this side are serrated teeth, which can be used to see wood, as well as ordinary steel. The shovel side of the shovel can be flipped over, and this end is a pickaxe that can be used to cut rock, and if flipped in a forward direction, it can also be used as a bayonet. This place has a jaw that can be used as a wire cutter, a general barbed wire ...... You get the idea, right? There is also a set of bayonets here, which are suitable for hexagonal nuts of various specifications......" Qin Hai skillfully pulled the trick on the shovel as he introduced it to Ge Dongyan.
"Well, that's good." Ge Dongyan heard a little taste, these functions that Qin Hai said were too useful for a soldier. A shovel can be used to dig trenches, and wire cutters can be used to destroy barbed wire, pickaxes, hacksaws, kitchen knives, wrenches, and bottle openers. In comparison, the military dagger that he loved just now seemed like a waste.
The dagger is a thing that is used to engage the enemy on the battlefield. But in a peaceful environment, this kind of opportunity to fight with a white knuckle almost never appears. Ge Dongyan's original dagger was more often used to dig the ground, and he couldn't even use it during training, because if he wasn't careful, he might accidentally injure his comrades.
A multi-purpose sapper shovel is different, it can be used to chop vegetables, open cans, and repair equipment in the barracks, and in the field it can be used to cut trees, dig pits, and deal with wild beasts. The dagger is a short weapon, the sapper shovel is a long weapon, if you encounter a wild boar or something in the mountains, the combat effectiveness of the sapper shovel is definitely much stronger than a dagger.
"You made this too?" Ge Dongyan snatched the sapper shovel from Qin Hai's hand and played like Qin Hai, his eyes no longer had that kind of disdain.
"Of course we made it." Qin Hai smiled, "How about it, it's still in the eyes of Platoon Leader Ge?" ”
"Great, great, it was just made for us. Xiao Qin, I'm going to set this spade, you can make a price, no matter how much it is, I have nothing to say! Ge Dongyan promised excitedly.
