The first update

Dinner was also included, and the old man still came back with them. In the evening, it is wheat rice, which is rice boiled from wheat.

When Xin Kun was traveling in South Korea, she had eaten it, saying that it was good for her health, and she looked at the old man, basically, she suspected that the old man ate like this for good health.

This shouldn't be after Song. The Ming Dynasty is basically not much different from the post-modern era. Especially in the late Ming Dynasty, with corn and chili peppers, the diet system was slowly determined.

At noon, she thought she was eating stew, but when she saw the wheat rice in the evening, she looked at the big pot of vegetables in the small pot, and she couldn't help but think, there won't be no stir-fry at this time, right?

"Don't like it?" Xin Ye saw her staring at Mai Fan, and said in distress.

The son and daughter-in-law started the fire alone at home back then, and there was a small stove cook at home at that time. Now let his granddaughter eat the big stove with them, the old man is a little distressed.

Thinking of this, he thought again that his granddaughter should not suffer so much with him, she should live the life she should live like other ladies.

"No, it's good for the body." Xin Kun hurriedly shook her head, and immediately took a bite of rice, she deeply felt that in fact, the wheat was still ground into flour, which was more delicious.

"Grandpa, did you go to the workshop?" Xin Kun looked at the old man's appearance, he should have worked in the workshop.

"Well, I'm going to do the overheating and quenching." The old man looked a little tired, and said it very simply, he believed that his granddaughter could understand.

Xin Kun nodded, the most important thing in striking iron is these two things, which are related to the success of the finished product. When she first played, it was all perfect, but by the time it was finally quenched, it was all over.

"Grandpa, can I go to the workshop?" Where did Xin Kun know her grandfather's thoughts, she still wanted to communicate with her grandfather about the real classical method of striking iron.

"It's all big men, what are you going to play?" Xin Ye immediately refused, but thinking that Uncle Li was there, he hurriedly remedied, "Martian outside, don't burn your clothes." ”

"Oh, then after a while, there will be no one in the workshop, you teach me?" Xin Kun looked at his grandfather with a smile.

"Yes." The old man thought for a moment, but nodded. Even though this is his daughter, he still wants to pass on his craft to her.

Everyone had dinner and went back. When everyone was gone, the old man poked open a stove, and then sat aside, the meaning was very clear, and let her try it herself.

Xin Kun hurriedly found a small piece of iron, put it in the stove, then found an apron to put on, found a hammer to put on the large cast-iron corner platform, cleaned up the table, and put the things he wanted to use in order.

Xin Ye looked at it, and his face became better, which shows that she really will. And it's not bad, because the order in which she places things is the order in which she needs to strike iron.

When she finished it, the iron was burned red, and generally speaking, the iron was burned orange and transparent before it could be beaten, not just red.

Xin Kun saw the normal red color, so he took out the iron with pliers and beat it neatly. Soon the piece of iron was hammered into a long piece of iron, and Xin Kun used a pig iron chisel to hammer a gap in the middle of the still red iron bar, and after knocking the pieces together a few times, he sprinkled some iron sand on it.

"What are you doing?" Xin Ye frowned.

"I want to hit a dagger." Xin Kun said hurriedly.

"I ask you why you use the hundred-fold method." Xin Ye frowned, he would know this kind of play, but he hadn't fought for many years. It's too much of a drain, and his energy is low.

"Because it's going to look good when you hit it." Xin Kun was embarrassed to say that she was most familiar with all kinds of utensils made of Damascus steel, the most popular on the Internet.

Playing clubs requires money, and no one can invest endlessly for hobbies. One of the ways they later raised money for the club was to sell their own works for money.

She likes delicate things, so she loves to play small pieces. For example, the tea knife for the tea set shop, the tea knife with her emblem is sold very expensive.

This is also the reason why she called Xin Ye, to play such a sharp sword, and really sell it to buyers who know the goods, and the profit is much stronger than the broken saber in a room.

"The hundred-fold method is good-looking, but the heat is difficult, and it is easy to get out of the magic line." The magic line refers to the crack that comes out in the process of forging, because the combination of heat and forging is not sufficient.

"I'm familiar with this!" Xin Kun smiled at Xin Ye, just as the iron was red again, she took a look, took out the iron piece, and began to forge it. She didn't get a lot of layers. After eight floors, she began to officially shape herself.

At the flat rapier head, an equilateral triangle is chiseled, and then the two tips are beaten together, iron sand is added for welding, and then it is burned red, and the tip of the sword is beaten out like this. In fact, you can also fight on both sides, but in this way, the pattern is not as good as the cut corners, and that is more of a test of craftsmanship, she is a girl, and her strength is a hard injury that she can't pass.

She had beaten the dagger, but it was quickly formed. Shovel off the iron oxide on it, polish it gently, and it already looks like a dagger.

Xin Kun put the dagger into the stove again, looked left and right, "Grandpa, is there any oil?" ”

"You're going to quench with oil?" Quenching is the most profound skill of a blacksmith, this can't be taught, say look at fire, look at iron, or look at the liquid to be used for quenching?

The old man has his own set of water for quenching, and the recipe in each bucket of water is different, speaking of which, this is even the biggest secret ingredient in their family.

But it was useless for all this water to be stolen, because he knew very well that the most important thing was to know the timing.

As a result, the granddaughter used oil? The oil heat dissipation is slow, and the hardness of the knife will actually be reduced, but the toughness will be strengthened.

"The oil quenching is relatively stable." Xin Kun smiled, quenching oil should be used. But not now, general vegetable oil will also be enough.

Xin Ye went to the back room to get a bucket of rapeseed oil out, and Xin Kun found a small slender container and put some oil in it.

The dagger burned to orange red, and after a little more waiting, Xin Kun carefully put the dagger into the oil drum, and the fire ignited in the oil drum. Xin Kun didn't move, quietly quenching up and down, until the fire extinguished and the dagger turned iron again, but she put the dagger on a stove that only left the fire, and put some hot charcoal ash on it.

There is no oven here, so this is the only way to temper it. Tempering is to maintain the stability of the steel after quenching, and the temperature requirement is quite high, at least 350 degrees. Gangxin Kun put his hand on the stove to test the temperature, and with the ignition of the charcoal, the temperature should be okay.

"Looks like you really will, your dad taught?" Xin Ye looked at it with a smile.

"I think it's fun, and I secretly learn it with my friends." She snickered, she played iron, and she also secretly played with everyone, and her parents didn't dare to tell her, but they were afraid that in their hearts, she was still the most quiet one.

When the time was almost up, he took out the dagger and handed it to Xin Ye.
