The second more

"So thick." The old man took a look, and unlike them directly punching out the facets, she was just punching the type, and she didn't do more on both sides.

"Use the grinder!" Xin Kun also sighed a little, there is no grinding wheel here, and it will really kill people. However, if you use it, the pattern will be deformed and not look good.

"Grandpa, is there oxalic acid?"

"Iron-striker, how can you not have that." Xin Ye smiled, went to a corner on the side and took out a small clay pot.

This step is called pickling, and the cleaned dagger is immersed in oxalic acid. Before the acid, in fact, a little pattern can still be seen on the dagger, and it will be very beautiful when it is sharpened.

From the beginning to the end, the old man felt that he had nothing left to teach his granddaughter, and she was really well taught.

"Ming'er will let the little worker grind for you." Xin Ye took a moment before he said.

"Well, that's good." Xin Kun nodded, this can be had, thought about it and said, "Forget it, this is a trivial matter." However, this year is set to be a year of great drought, what are your plans? ”

Xin Kun has already seen the situation of the workshop one day today, and now it is not the situation of their grandparents and grandchildren, but the problem of the whole village. Therefore, this is what she must do now, and she must solve the food problem.

"We don't live by farming." Xin Ye was still looking at his granddaughter's dagger, and he didn't think about any food problems at all, so he took it for granted.

The blacksmiths of several generations, even if they have some land in their village, really don't point to the outside to live, but just find something to do for the girls in the village. So when we saw the drought, we didn't do anything superfluous.

"You've got to buy food, right? If it was just the drought in our village, of course I wouldn't say anything. But if there is no harvest of all the land, then who will sell us the grain? I really have to go out and escape the famine, but you are craftsmen in the military department, can they go? Xin Kun was speechless, she remembered that the book she had read said that the craftsman household was also registered.

"There is a well in the village......" Xin Ye frowned, he wanted to say, there is a well in the village, and there is water in the well, in fact, but at the beginning, he didn't dare to say it.

At this time, he also began to worry, but this time there was a real drought, and there was no harvest around, even if they were willing to pay a high price, people would not dare to sell to them.

"Do we have any grain in stock?" Xin Kun looked at her grandfather like this, she just wanted to go to see the old man's treasury now, hoping that it would not be all big pieces of iron, at least she could store some food.

Now that she is really half disheartened, she knows that God is not alive, and the difficulty index for her to cross will not be so low.

As soon as you cross, you can find a home, in addition to letting her dress as a man, it is obviously a major survival problem! It's not a matter of their own survival, but of the survival of the whole village, which is too much of a test.

"We strike iron and feed ourselves with our craft!" Xin Ye is still hard-mouthed, the craftsmen of their village, for many years, they have been used to buying grain to live, who will store grain?

"Well, can the military department settle with food?" Xin Kun looked outside, if they were the signatures of the military department, then it would not be too much to let the military department settle with grain, right? The military department can't watch these skilled workers die, right?

"I'm afraid it's too late, there will be a batch of knives to be handed over in the next two days." Xin Ye hehe.

"Grandpa, do you still have to go to the yamen to talk about the food problem? We have to plan ahead, so many people, such a heavy job. ”

"But it's just the beginning of the year...... the old man didn't really want to talk about this, he really thought that his grandson was making a little fuss.

"It's just the beginning of the year, and it can be remedied." In the ancient books that Xin Kun has read, even if it is only a few hundred words, it is enough to shock her. Now she can't take care of others, but she has to take care of this grandfather and the people of that village, right?

"Well, then I'll go to the county office." The old man sighed lightly, he was originally quite happy, but now he can only say that he is so bored.

"I'll go with you!" Xin Kun saw the old man like this, and knew that he was doing something that he couldn't do.

Xin Ye thought for a while, but nodded, his granddaughter, what is there to be polite.

"Grandpa, have you ever thought about making high-end weapons, just like this one I played, making long swords, simple knives, and sabers, it will be better than fighting these mainland weapons." She sealed the fire, washed her hands, and helped the old man to go home.

"We can't finish the order, how can anyone do this." The old man shook his head habitually, he had actually saved some money over the years, but his son had been out for more than ten years, and he was about to lose confidence, and over the years, he had become even more distracted about money. However, after saying that, he paused again, "I'll think about this again!" ”

Xin Kun gently stroked the old man's shoulder, this old man had just experienced the pain of losing his son, and his granddaughter didn't know if it was true, but at this time she could only comfort him speechlessly.

The old man smiled at her, and slowly went home with a small dagger that had just been beaten.

Early in the morning, after breakfast at home, the old man asked the woman who washed their clothes to boil two eggs for Xin Kun, and put some honey in them.

Xin Kun was really moved when she saw the eggs, but she was allergic to eggs, so she could only force the old man to eat them. The old man was moved, and deeply felt that this granddaughter was good, and found this excuse to take care of himself.

When the two of them went to the workshop together, the old man was obviously different from Xin Kun. It was good before, but it was a little polite. But at this time, the old man looked at Xin Kun again, that is, only the ancestors and grandchildren of the in-laws would have intimacy.

When the two of them arrived at the workshop together, the old man found a small worker, handed him the dagger pattern and the dagger blank, and instructed, "Be careful!" ”

"Yes, this is a prototype made by the owner?" Xiaogong has also sharpened the knife for many years, and the iron is still almost striking, but I can still watch it.

"Yes, I called Brother Kun yesterday for self-defense, and I want to open the blade." Old Man Xin replied lightly.

At dinner in the morning, Xin Ye told Xin Kun that he had to say that he had beaten it, and it must not be spread that Xin Kun had this skill.

Although Xin Kun is a Ph.D. in modern times, she is really not a nerd, and if this is the case, she will not learn to strike iron.

When the iron was striking yesterday, the old man knew every step she did, so even if the name was different, the old man would do it. He will do it, but he is too lazy to do it. Now I don't let her spread her reputation, I think it's also to protect her.

Thinking about last night, he was too lazy to be aggressive, but after taking a look at her, he changed his mind again, obviously because he didn't want to mess around for the sake of his granddaughter, and he had to save up for himself to live in peace.

"This dagger is really beautiful." Xiao Gong looked at the pattern on it, and he couldn't put it down.

The masters on the side came around, and they were also knowledgeable, and they took it one by one and praised it.
