469. Such craftsmanship is simply unheard of
Thank you for the 10,000 yuan reward from Brother Yi Bing, the leader of the alliance!
After leaving the café, Shuhei went to Yoshihara Kazuhito's workshop again, just like in the previous cycle??? ?
This time it was almost twenty minutes earlier than the last time.
Therefore, after passing over, I saw Yoshihara in the workshop, folding and forging a piece of quenched jade steel back and forth.
Seeing him and his two assistants beating Yugang there, Zhou Ping wanted to go up and try it on a whim.
"Mr. Yoshihara, I also want to feel the process of pill forging, I don't know if it's inconvenient for me to try it?
Hearing Zhou Ping say this, Yoshihara Kazuhito hesitated slightly, and finally smiled at him and nodded, "Huh! Zhou Sang can certainly feel it if he wants to!"
That being said, Kazuhito Yoshihara didn't expect anything from Shuhei.
In his opinion, this kind of forging is not just relying on strength, but a long-term accumulated feeling.
Each stroke seems to be injecting life and soul into the original dead thing.
Therefore, Kazuhito Yoshihara was already preparing for the second pill forging in his heart.
For him, this time it was time for his life-saving benefactor, Zhou Ping, to experience the process and hardships of katana making, and to make the other party fully aware of the extraordinary nature of this skill.
"Then you're welcome!"
As he spoke, Zhou Ping took the hammer from the hand of Yoshihara Kazuhito's assistant, shook it in his hand, and looked at its shape.
If you really want to talk about it, it is not much different from the usual hammer, there are hammer sides on both sides of the top, and you can turn it back and forth to knock it.
At this time, Yoshihara Kazuhito had already picked up a piece of red-hot jade steel, and both his expression and voice suddenly became serious.
"Zhou Sang, you can start now, you just saw how my assistant beats, you just do what they do, if you are tired, just say it!"
Tired?
This question is not in Zhou Ping's consideration at all.
Looking at the crimson jade steel placed on the forging table, Zhou Ping smiled slightly, picked up the hammer in his hand and began to pound it with a clang.
At the beginning, he hadn't been able to master the rhythm and strength, but Yoshihara Kazuhito seemed very sincere, constantly correcting Zhou Ping's movements.
However, with Yoshihara Kazuhito's professional guidance, Zhou Ping gradually found his feeling and entered a rhythm that Yoshihara Kazuhito was satisfied with.
You must know that even his two assistants, that is, the two apprentices he carefully taught, are often scolded by him.
After just five minutes, Yoshihara Kazuhito's two assistants watched in amazement as Zhou Ping was beating Yugang's back, secretly amazed at his superior arm strength and the frequency of the beating.
And Yoshihara Kazuhito didn't pay attention to this.
Because his attention was all on the jade steel in his hand, there was still a hint of excitement on his face, and he seemed to completely ignore Zhou Ping opposite.
Looking at the jade steel, whose color had become a little dull, Yoshihara Kazuhito put it back in the furnace and continued to heat and calcin.
"Zhou Sang, you're tired, take a break!"
As soon as Yoshihara Kazuren spoke, he suddenly reacted, looked at Zhou Ping with a stunned face, opened his mouth, and couldn't say a word.
When Zhou Ping saw the other party's reaction, he immediately realized something, shook his head, and said very easily: "It's okay, this level is nothing at all!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Yoshihara Kazuhito seemed to be fine, but his two disciples were a little embarrassed by their faces.
Please, that's nothing?
You're all up to the two of us, and you're doing better than us!
It's really more than goods to throw, and people are more tearful than people!
But even so, don't you say so modest? Did you know that excessive modesty is a sign of pride?
Just now, because Zhou Ping fought so well, Yoshihara Kazuhito quickly entered a state of selfless work, and he didn't care about other things at all.
At this moment, he can be regarded as completely coming back to his senses.
Thinking of Zhou Ping's forging process just now, except for some problems at the beginning, there were almost no problems after he corrected him, and it can even be said to be impeccable.
Even in his heyday, it seems that he can only do this.
The most important thing is that he hammers very frequently and with very even force.
Could this be the legendary talent?
Kazuhito Yoshihara suddenly felt that his hard work for so many years and his constant exploration was like a joke.
"Oh! Zhou Sang, I didn't expect your strength to be so good, and you also controlled your strength perfectly, it's really amazing!" Yoshihara Kazuhito sighed in his heart, and praised it from the bottom of his heart.
Zhou Ping smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Yoshihara has won the award, and it is also because of your proper guidance that I can achieve this level!"
Yoshihara Kazuhito was very satisfied with Zhou Ping's attitude of not being arrogant or impatient, and couldn't help but nodded.
But the more he recalled the process just now, his heart was full of shock.
The ten minutes of pill forging just now were twice as fast as usual, and they were still forged in one person's hands, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would have been unbelievable.
Subsequently, Yoshihara Kazuhito couldn't help but explain some knowledge points about pill forging and quenching to Zhou Ping.
These things were cherished by Yoshihara Kazuhito and very cautious during the previous contact process.
Even if it is mentioned by chance in the conversation, it will definitely not be so in-depth, because it is the experience he has accumulated after decades of iron-making career.
When the jade steel was heated to crimson again, Yoshihara Kazuhito actually looked at Zhou Ping with a blank eye and said, "Ah...... Zhou Sang, do you want to continue?"
A forging expert like Zhou Ping is really hard to find, and at this moment, Yoshihara Kazuhito's heart is full of incomparable expectations.
Perhaps this work will be the most proud one of his life, and it will not be inferior to the Tibetan moon given to Zhou Ping.
Zhou Ping naturally captured Yoshihara Kazuhito's mood at this moment, and he himself felt that this forging process was actually a bit interesting, to some extent similar to practicing boxing, so he raised the hammer and said, "Of course it's no problem!"
After a skillful operation, Zhou Ping was very comfortable with the forging of the pill forging, and the frequency was getting faster and faster in the later process.
Originally, the jade steel that was heated once could only be folded and hammered a dozen times in the hands of ordinary people, but in Zhou Ping's hands, it could be folded dozens of times.
This is an effect that even two masters cannot achieve together.
At this moment, not only Yoshihara Kazuhito's two disciples were stunned, but even Yoshihara Kazuhito himself was shocked.
Such a forging technique is simply unheard of.
Even in the entire history of Japanese sword-making, I have never heard of anyone reaching such a level.
However, as a true swordsmith, even if you are shocked in your heart, you will not stop what you are doing.
......
Two hours later, in Yoshihara Kazuhito's residence, Zhou Ping and him were drinking sake and chatting.
From time to time, Yoshihara Kazuhito's gaze would look at Shuhei's right hand.
Until this moment, he still had some difficulty imagining that these hands that were obviously slender and fair, as if they were born to play the piano, would actually show such an extraordinary level of forging.
And he noticed that Zhou Ping was still using his right hand whether he was eating vegetables or serving wine glasses, without the slightest sign of trembling.
This shows that the series of high-intensity movements just now did not cause any discomfort to Zhou Ping.
Finally, Kazuhito Yoshihara fully accepted this fact.
After he raised his glass and toasted Zhou Ping, he wiped his lips and said: "Zhou Sang, I didn't expect you to be so powerful, you can do it in such a short time, this can only be the perfect combination of talent and understanding, and others can't learn it at all." ”
"You know, your hour's workload is almost equal to half a day's workload for the three of us!"
Kazuhito Yoshihara said with a sigh, poured himself another glass, and drank it with his head up.
Putting down the wine glass, Zhou Ping said lightly: "Mr. Yoshihara has won the award, in fact, I just have a little strength, it's nothing!"
Yoshihara Yiren shook his head, put down the wine glass in his hand, sat up straight, looked directly at Zhou Ping, and said very solemnly: "Zhou Sang, you are too modest in what you say. I've been learning the art of knife making since I was 17 years old. But after so many years, it's the first time I've seen someone as powerful as you. And to be honest, in the past time, I have never heard of such a terrifying technology as yours. I think even if you search all over Japan, it's unique. ”
For Yoshihara's words, his two assistants have a deep understanding: Big guy, you are really awesome, why do you have to pretend to be forced calmly!
As soon as Yoshihara Kazuhito's words fell, his wife knocked on the door, and then pushed the door in.
After the old lady bowed slightly to Zhou Ping, she whispered to Yoshihara Kazuhito: "Yiren, someone is looking for you outside!"
Yoshihara Kazuhito frowned slightly, and said with some unhappiness: "Who is it? Don't you see that I am eating with the guests? You let him go back! ”
The old lady glanced at her husband with some embarrassment, and said with a little embarrassment, "I'm really sorry. I've already said that, but he still insists on seeing you, saying it's to buy a knife!"
Of course, Zhou Ping knew who the person who came, because in the last cycle, it was also during dinner, when a person who claimed to be a descendant of Beichen Yidaoliu came to Yoshihara Kazuhito, hoping to buy the Tibetan Moon in his hands.
When he finally learned that the moon was in Zhou Ping's hands, he turned to buy it from him.
Of course, Zhou Ping will not sell, and the two naturally broke up in the end.
"Mr. Yoshihara, since there are guests coming to the door, why don't we go out and have a look!" Zhou Ping took the initiative to say this time.
After all, this matter is to be solved, and that guy is really very difficult.
Yoshihara Kazuhito, who originally didn't look very good-looking, heard Zhou Ping say this, and finally nodded, which can be regarded as adopting his suggestion.
"Zhou Sang, I'm really sorry to disturb your meal!" said Yoshihara Kazuhito with a slight bow.
"It's okay, let's go out and see who it is first!" Zhou Ping waved his hand disapprovingly.
"Hay!"
The three of them went out of the inner room and came to the living room.
In the living room, a tall man of about forty years of age stood with his back straight, and behind him was a man of about thirty years of age with a mustache.
As soon as he saw Yoshihara Kazuhito, his originally cold expression immediately changed to a smile and hurried up to meet him.
"Hello Mr. Yoshihara, my name is Kenji Fujido, we had a relationship at the World Cold Weapons Exhibition held in the United States last time, I don't know if you still remember me!"
"Kenji Fujido......"
Yoshihara Kazuhito was stunned for a moment, frowned and repeated, then pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm old, and I can't remember clearly!"
Actually, Yoshihara Kazuhito didn't really remember, but he knew what the purpose of Fujido Kenji was this time, so he deliberately pretended not to know.
At the World Cold Weapons Exhibition, it was he who directly bid two million US dollars to buy the Tibetan Moon.
Regarding Yoshihara Kazuhito's pretending to be crazy and stupid, Fujido Kenji did not change his face, and directly stated his purpose: "Mr. Yoshihara, I came to you today on purpose, just for the Tibetan Moon that you treasured in your hand, and I also ask Yoshihara to complete it!"
After speaking, he bowed deeply to Yoshihara Kazuhito with unusually respect, and his attitude was extremely sincere.
Yoshihara Kazuhito was unmoved, and said calmly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Fujido, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, I've already given away the Hidden Moon Knife!"
"Nani, how could it be?" Fujido Kenji looked like he had been in the previous cycle, his eyes wide in disbelief.
Yoshihara Kazuhito frowned, and said in a cold voice, "What, Mr. Fujido doesn't believe what I say?"
Fujido Kenji's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "No, no, no, Mr. Yoshihara, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that." It's just a very accident, who did Mr. Yoshihara give this Tibetan Moon Famous Knife, can you tell me?"
Zhou Ping also took over his words at this time.
"Mr. Yoshihara gave me the knife!"
Because in the last cycle, Kazuhito Yoshihara looked very embarrassed under his relentless questioning.
Fujido Kenji looked at Zhou Ping carefully at this time, and asked with a little doubt, "Hello sir, may I ask who you are?"
"Huaxia, Zhou Ping!" Zhou Ping said four words simply.
When Kenji Fujido heard this, he was a little confused!
Nari: Actually a Chinese?
At first, he thought that Zhou Ping was an authentic Osaka person, but this Osaka accent was too authentic.
But this did not affect his strong desire to hide the moon, but he was even more eager to keep such a rare treasure knife in Japan.
"Hello, Zhou Sang, my name is ......"
Without waiting for Fujido Kenji to speak, Zhou Ping directly waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "I know you, the descendant of Beichen's sword, Fujido Kenji!"
Hearing that Zhou Ping actually knew his identity, Fujitang Construction was even more puzzled, and then a bright smile appeared on his face.
It's a pity that the smile didn't last long, and was interrupted by Zhou Ping's next words again.
"I won't sell that Hidden Moon anyway! So, you better go back!"
Zhou Ping expressed his attitude simply and directly, and did not give Kenji Fujido any expectations.
That's it!
Didn't you say that the Chinese people are very modest and polite?
