Chapter 35: The Most Powerful Pig-Killing Knife
Hua Qingxue's dorayaki and crispy egg rolls were a huge success.
With popcorn as a sign, regular customers are very concerned about her newly baked dim sum, although the price is a little more expensive than popcorn, but during the New Year's holidays, everyone doesn't care too much about this article and two articles, and the stalls are sold out.
The nearby stall owner persuaded Hua Qingxue that since it was easy to sell, he would make more to sell tomorrow.
Hua Qingxue just smiled, but didn't plan to do more.
The current amount is calculated by her, and it is within the range of bearing.
Although she is anxious to make money, she doesn't want to make herself too tired, and now it is very hard to get up early and make snacks every day, and if the amount is increased, it will be really too tired.
If you wear down your body, it's not worth it.
When it was almost time to close the stall, He Wu came, and the tall man stood cramped in front of the tea stall, and said humbly: "My mother said that she was afraid that the Li family would come to trouble you, so let me come over and help." ”
Hua Qingxue was stunned, and then nodded, "Ah...... That, thank you, Brother He. ”
Hearing her call him Brother He again, He Wu's face gradually turned red again.
He picked up the benches, tables and chairs, and helped Hua Qingxue pile up the bits and pieces on the cart, and without waiting for Hua Qingxue to say more, he pulled up the cart and left.
There was a good-natured laughter from the stall next to him, He Wu's steps couldn't help but be more urgent, the cart was bumpy, and even the wooden barrel and wooden bench on it shook violently, Hua Qingxue didn't dare to say much, and silently followed to hold the objects on the cart.
The two of them walked back one after the other, but there was really an embarrassment of both husband and wife returning home......
Hua Qingxue thought as she walked, the house here really can't be rented anymore, although Aunt He treats her very well...... But if I live any longer, I inexplicably have a sense of déjà vu from the daughter-in-law of the He family, which is really embarrassing.
It doesn't feel really good.
Let's wait a few years......
After a few more months of money, you should be able to rent a house with a single courtyard when you have plenty of money.
When I was about to get home, I watched Aunt He standing at the gate of the courtyard from a distance, waving at them, and dragging a chicken in her other hand.
"Takeko! Help me kill the chicken, and make you your favorite sauce roast chicken today...... Oh, and by the way, chop up the pork stick bones in the kitchen to make soup. ”
He Wu pulled the cart into the house, and without a breath, he took the chicken from his mother's hand and sharpened his knife.
Aunt He helped Hua Qingxue unload the things on the cart and waved her hand to catch her up, "Go and rest, drink hot water to warm up, it's freezing this day...... After a while, I will come out to eat and taste my aunt's handiwork. ”
Hua Qingxue smiled a little embarrassedly, because she came back late every time, so she would rub Aunt He's food from time to time.
In fact, she knows that this is not good, but she can't resist the enthusiasm of others every time......
It's not good to always eat white rice, Hua Qingxue also wanted to do some work, and said, "I'll help Brother He chop pork ribs." ”
Although she can't kill chickens, it's still okay to chop ribs.
"How can you do this, just give Wuzi this kind of strength to do!" Aunt He refused, turned around and went to the kitchen to stir-fry.
Aunt He's appearance of stir-frying is quite chef-like, which makes Hua Qingxue think of the Aunt Yan she once knew in Renqiu, who can make a dozen or so strokes of a big iron pot with one hand, and she has to keep stir-frying.
She couldn't hold such a heavy pot with one hand, let alone pick it up.
Hua Qingxue had nothing to do, so she boiled water on another pot, and waited for He Wu to pluck the chickens after killing them.
As soon as the water was ready, I heard the sound of ping-pong in the yard.
Hua Qingxue was shocked, and hurriedly ran to the yard, only to see that He Wu had already killed the chickens, and now he was slashing at a pile of pig stick bones!
"Brother He, don't ...... it yet"
Late.
He Wu stopped his hand, raised the long knife in his hand, and found that it had been broken into a gap, as if it was missing a front tooth, and the other places where the blade had been cut were also crooked and broken.
Hua Qingxue realized that He Wu was using his own saber in the barracks.
He Wu looked at the broken knife in his hand and frowned.
"Ah...... This knife is broken, does it matter? It won't be disposed of by military regulations, right? Hua Qingxue asked him worriedly.
He Wu looked a little shy in front of Hua Qingxue, and he grinned: "It's okay, the knives in the military camp are often broken, and I have long been used to it, and I can use it again when I go back and repair it." ”
Hua Qingxue glanced at the pig stick bones that were still strong on the chopping board, a little embarrassed, and whispered: "I re-opened a new set of knives from Blacksmith Liu, and there are special ones for cutting bones...... I'll get it for you. ”
He Wu nodded.
When Hua Qingxue came back, there was really a brand new knife in his hand.
He Wu looked at the knife, and felt that the edge of the blade was slashed, which was very eye-catching, and he held it in his hand and held it, and it felt very good.
"This kitchen knife is really good." He Wu couldn't help but praise.
Hua Qingxue pursed her lips and smiled, "It's not a kitchen knife, it's a bone chopping knife, the original knife is not easy to use...... I made a new set, including a slicing knife, a boning knife, a boning knife, a paring knife, a vegetable knife, ......"
Don't look at her average cooking skills, but she is very proficient in pondering these utensils.
Hua Qingxue has always believed that no matter what you do, preparing a good set of tools can improve efficiency and make your body and mind happy.
For example, she felt that since she had this set of knives, her cooking skills had grown by leaps and bounds compared to the time she had in Renqiu City.
"Miss Hua is so meticulous, even the kitchen knife is so fine."
He Wu laughed, held the knife and began to chop bones-
Syllable!
The bones on the cutting board break into two at once.
He Wu couldn't help but be stunned, and was very surprised in his heart!
This feeling of heavy blows, this sharpness, was better than any knife he had used in the barracks before!
He Wu couldn't help but pick up the knife again and look at it carefully.
But no matter how he looks at it, it's just an ordinary kitchen knife, why is that?
"Blacksmith Liu's craftsmanship is getting better and better!" The innocent He Wu naturally didn't think of Hua Qingxue, he praised it again, and his hands began to crackle and chop bones.
Originally, he was worried that he would break the new kitchen knife, but the more he used this kitchen knife in his hand, the smoother it became! Until all the bones were chopped up, He Wu was still a little unsatisfied, so he took the chicken he had just killed to pluck and rinse, and then chopped it into pieces!
When the chickens were also chopped, He Wu simply took the knife and made a majestic gesture in the yard-
As soon as Aunt He came out, she saw her son practicing in the yard, and muttered a few sentences: "What kind of madness is this, waving a kitchen knife and carefully chopping the clothes pole in my yard......"
Hua Qingxue stood aside and snickered, she vaguely understood why He Wu was like this.
It is also very strange to say this, although this Great Qi Dynasty is similar to the Song Dynasty in everything, but the metal smelting technology is very backward, far less developed than the ancient Song Dynasty.
And many well-known metals in modern times are not mined here, or even unknown.
On the first day Hua Qingxue started cooking, she found that the kitchen knife in the kitchen was very difficult to use, even if it was sharpened, it could only cut some vegetables and meat, and a slightly harder one would not work, if the strength was too great, the tiger's mouth would be shocked and red.
- This is due to the high carbon content in the knife.
Originally, iron was a very soft metal that could neither be made into a knife nor cast into a pot, but when iron contains a certain amount of carbon, it becomes iron, which is often used in daily life, which is called steel.
The higher the carbon content, the higher the hardness of the iron, and conversely, the lower the carbon content, the lower the hardness of the iron.
However, the hardness of iron is not always better, but the hardness is pure, but the easier it is to chip, break and damage. Just like the military saber used by He Wu just now, although it is sharp, it will be damaged once it encounters a hard object.
Therefore, the proportion of carbon is very subtle, but for Hua Qingxue, it is all too familiar.
Her major is in the direction of new thermal weapons, and she has specialized in studying the history of ancient cold weapons, and the forging process of metal is as familiar as her old profession.
In ancient times, the best way was to use folding forging, the steel and wrought iron layer by layer finely beaten together, and the method of carburizing, so that the knife is not only extremely sharp, but also has a certain toughness, it can definitely be called the best in the knife, other blades are in contact with it, and there are few that are not broken!
Hua Qingxue also did forging in her schoolwork, but at that time, there were all kinds of modern advanced instruments, and she only needed to test the values.
In ancient times, this kind of forging work required a lot of strength, so this set of kitchen knives was forged by Liu Blacksmith under the guidance of Hua Qingxue.
Although there is still a little gap from the ideal state in Hua Qingxue's heart, it is definitely not a problem to cut ribs or something.
Hua Qingxue saw He Wu in the courtyard with one move and one style, and thought to herself, since he likes it so much, it would be better to give him one, anyway, his military saber will not be used for the time being.
But this kitchen knife is a bit embarrassing to dance......
Hua Qingxue turned around and went into the kitchen again, and came out with a pig-killing knife with a sharp tip.
The shape of the Pig Killing Knife is very similar to He Wu's military saber, but it is shorter.
"Brother He, you can use this."
He Wu heard Hua Qingxue's voice, stopped his movements, and saw the pig-killing knife in her hand again, and his face was immediately filled with joy.
Although he knew that it was not appropriate to take things for nothing, he really liked this knife too much, and immediately took the knife in his hand without saying a word.
The handle of the knife is streamlined and curved, which fits exactly the palm of the hand, and the blade is light and not tired for a long time, the blade is sharp and sharp, and there is a long groove on the back of the knife.
"How did Blacksmith Liu make a groove in this place?" He Wu asked strangely.
Hua Qingxue explained: "This is called a blood groove, which can increase the strength of the knife, reduce the weight of the knife, and also increase the wounded area. ”
He Wu only thought that Hua Qingxue heard about it from Blacksmith Liu, and he didn't think much about it, he held the pig-killing knife in his hand and played with it a few times, and said with a smile: "Well, it's indeed lighter." ”
There is a way that it is difficult to buy a favorite, He Wu took Hua Qingxue's knife, took out a money bag from his arms, and handed it to Hua Qingxue, "Miss Hua, I don't know how to thank you, you can take this money ......"
Hua Qingxue was startled, and waved her hand again and again, "I'm already very sorry to live here to eat and drink, this knife is not worth a few dollars, you don't have to take it to heart!" ”
After she finished speaking, she was afraid that He Wu would stuff money for her again, so she fled into the kitchen.
He Wu stood in the courtyard, holding a pig-killing knife in his hand, feeling sweet in his heart......
