Chapter Twenty-Four: Picking Up a Big Bargain

As early as when Qin Hai and the others appeared on bicycles, Ge Dongyan was observing these young workers. Seeing that they all had some childishness on their faces, and their ages looked several years younger than themselves, Ge Dongyan began to regret his impulsiveness, what skills can such a few people have to make a good dagger?

It's also strange that Ge Dongyan is too obsessed with ordnance, he is the kind of person who does not hesitate to pay half a year's allowance in order to get a good dagger. Seeing that a sharp weapon he had finally gotten was cut by a shovel from his cousin's uncle, he was distressed at first, but shocked, and then he stubbornly forced the brute to contact Qin Hai and the others, asking the other party to help him make a good knife.

This morning, Zhang Laosan asked someone to bring a letter, saying that the workers of the Qingfeng factory had made the knife, and Ge Dongyan's sense of expectation was no different from Ning Mo's. Just after noon, he urged the barbarian to come out of the countryside and rushed to Zhang Laosan's blacksmith shop, it was only 3 o'clock, and it was still more than an hour before the agricultural machinery factory got off work.

finally got up to the time, but it was these four inconspicuous young workers who came to deliver the goods, Ge Dongyan had a feeling of being fooled, but how could he say such a thing?

"You said you could make a good dagger?" Ge Dongyan stared at Qin Hai with a sharp gaze and asked coldly.

Qin Hai raised his head, let his eyes confront Ge Dongyan head-on, and then said with a smile: "A dagger is nothing, give me a fulcrum, I can create a lever to pry the earth." ”

"What a big breath." Ge Dongyan responded, muttering secretly in his heart: This young man has two brushes, his eyes are specially trained, and the most normal reaction of ordinary people under their own pressure is to be at a loss, and they will never dare to look at themselves. But this young worker, who looked less than 20 years old, was not only able to remain undefeated in the face of himself, but also was able to say these ridiculous words lightly.

"Have you brought your daggers, I'll check the goods." Ge Dongyan put away the murderous aura in his eyes and stretched out his hand to Qin Hai, begging for the dagger they made.

Qin Hai smiled slightly in his heart, he knew that in the silent confrontation just now, the arrogant soldier in front of him had already been defeated by himself. In fact, looking at this kind of game is more confident than both sides. Qin Hai was a cattle man in his previous life, and now he has crossed over, his thinking is 30 years ahead of others, and he is a cattle man among cattle people, how can he be afraid of an ordinary platoon commander? There is no cowardice in his heart, so when the eyes meet, he can be calm.

"This is the dagger we made, Platoon Commander Ge, please take a look." Qin Hai took the dagger they had created from Ning Mo and handed it to Ge Dongyan.

The dagger was inserted in a simple scabbard made of cardboard, and when Ge Dongyan took it, he frowned at the ugly scabbard. However, when he took the hilt of the dagger and pulled it out of its scabbard, a chill suddenly rushed to his face, and he couldn't help but praise: "Good knife! ”

The surface of the specially quenched super-strong alloy steel dagger does not look dazzling, on the contrary, it looks a little dark and dull, which makes people feel a little weird. Ge Dongyan is a person who is good at playing with knives, and when he looks at the color of this knife, he knows that the Dao is an extraordinary thing, and most of the contempt in his heart disappears at once.

"Platoon Commander Ge really knows the goods." Qin Hai guessed his psychology from Ge Dongyan's face, and he said with a smile: "Platoon Leader Ge might as well try this dagger first to see if it is agreeable." ”

"How do you try?" Ge Dongyan subconsciously asked, and then looked around, trying to find something that could be used to test the knife.

Qin Hai pointed to a piece of wood next to him and said, "Let's try this piece of wood first." ”

The wood was actually a trunk of a miscellaneous tree, and the wood of the wood looked very dense, and there were a few knots on it, which looked like pimples, and obviously could not be used to make furniture. Knotted wood like this can only be used as a firewood chopping fire.

Ge Dongyan had already fallen in love with this piece of wood just now, he asked Zhang Laosan's opinion, and then stepped forward with a dagger, gesturing on the wood, looking for a place to put the knife.

"You can try to cut this knot off." Qin Hai stepped forward and came up with an idea with good intentions.

Ge Dongyan glanced at Qin Hai, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied with his excessive talk. I think I am also a platoon commander in an elite army, do you still need to be taught by a young worker like you on how to test the knife?

"Let's see the strength of Captain Ge's arm and see if we can cut off this knot with a single sword." Qin Haile used the agitation method.

"You don't have to worry about my arm strength, you still have to worry about whether your knife will break." Ge Dongyan choked Qin Hai, then clenched the handle of the knife and slashed towards a knot with a thick cup.

"Pounce!"

There was a muffled sound like stepping on mud, and Ge Dongyan felt that there was no obstacle in his hand, and the knife had passed through the center of the tree knot delicately. The knot falls from the trunk, leaving a smooth section.

"It's too strong!" Zhang Laosan, Mangu and others, who were watching from the side, screamed loudly. As everyone knows, tree knots are the hardest part of the wood, and some knots are so hard that they can't even be split with an ordinary firewood knife, and they need to be chopped off little by little with a big axe. However, it was such a knot that was easily cut open by a dagger, and it can be seen from the finish of the section how sharp the dagger was.

"Not bad, not bad!" A smile finally bloomed on Ge Dongyan's face, it turned out that this gentleman could not only laugh, but also laugh more heartily than others. He had been straining his face before, but he was just pretending to show his majesty.

The first cut was cool, Ge Dongyan came to the mood, and waved the dagger to chop and chop on the wood. Wherever the dagger went, sawdust flew and pieces of wood were cut to the ground. Zhang Laosan watched from the sidelines, and Ha Luha smiled and said to the man: "Platoon Leader Ge is helping me chop wood, how should I thank him later." ”

At this moment, only a crisp sound of "ding" was heard, and everyone's hearts trembled, which was clearly the sound of metal colliding, which was completely different from the sound of cutting wood in front. Ge Dongyan was even more nervous, he didn't care to see what he had hit, but first looked at the edge of the dagger in his hand.

There was a slight scratch on the edge of the knife, but the blade was unscathed. Ge Dongyan was relieved, and then turned his gaze to the piece of wood.

In the place he had just chopped, there was a small bright spot. He looked intently and saw that it was the severed head of an iron nail that had been cut off at the waist. I don't know when this iron nail was nailed into, and it was stuck in the middle of the wood, no wonder Ge Dongyan didn't see it.

"It's so godly, this is simply sharpening iron like clay!" Zhang Laosan cheered loudly.

"Good knives, good knives." The brute is also full of praise.

Ning Mo and the others looked at it a little straight, they had some expectations for the performance of this dagger, but they didn't expect it to be able to cut off an iron nail easily. With such strength, where can it be regarded as a dagger, it is almost similar to a turning knife.

"Good knives!" Ge Dongyan was so addicted that he was reluctant to use it for a while. He inserted the dagger back into the simple cardboard scabbard, then clutched it in his hand, and said to Qin Hai, "Your surname is Qin, right?" Master Xiao Qin, I want this knife, how much is it, you can make a price. ”

Qin Hai smiled slightly, stretched out a slap, and made a "five" gesture.

Only five pieces? The brute watched from the sidelines, and Hao Sheng felt stunned. It is true that a dagger does not use as much steel as a shovel, but such a steel mouth, coupled with fine workmanship, is not too much to sell for ten yuan, and this Xiao Qin master actually only asks for five yuan?

Zhang Laosan was also a little puzzled, in his opinion, the price of this dagger should be more reasonable, because the quality of the steel is so good that it cannot be evaluated according to the standards of ordinary ironware. The price of such a good dagger is five yuan, could it be that this Xiao Qin master miscalculated?

Ning Mo and the others also chuckled in their hearts, and Yu Haitao immediately wanted to go up and ask Qin Hai if he had made a mistake, because just by machining this dagger, the cigarettes they sent out were more than five yuan. However, as soon as his body moved, he held back. He found that although the muscles on Ning Mo and Miao Lei's faces kept twitching, they gritted their teeth and did not say anything. Before leaving, Qin Hai had already explained to them, saying that he would be responsible for the negotiation alone, and asked them not to talk nonsense. Thinking of Qin Hai's previous actions, Yu Haitao felt that Qin Hai's opening price should be considered.

"Five? Fifty? "The only one who understands Qin Hai's gesture is Ge Dongyan. Others don't understand the value of a good piece of steel, he knows it very well. He had asked an acquaintance in the repair shop to make the dagger out of a piece of fine steel, and he had spent forty or fifty dollars on the materials and money for inviting the acquaintance to dinner afterwards, and he didn't feel wronged at all. Compared to the dagger in his hand now, that dagger could only be thrown into the garbage heap, and if the price of this dagger was fifty, he could be regarded as picking up a big bargain.

"That's right, fifty." Qin Haidao, "My colleagues admire the military very much, and they insist that this dagger be transferred to you at cost price, so I can only open a minimum price." ”
