Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Strange Blacksmith Shop

The subordinate shouted: "High, really high!"

The blonde Yulan suddenly shuddered, "Find me that inferior person, why do I think that guy is acting?"

"Huh?"

Tong Yan carried the wooden cabinet on his back and didn't leave the security canyon directly, a smart person wouldn't do that, he still had an important thing to do now. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Why do books seem so valuable? This is because there are few, and they are very, very rare in the Erxi Forest, this is Tong Yan's understanding, because in the past six years, he has collected less than twenty books in total, and these twenty books record some inconsequential things, which are equivalent to some miscellaneous records, such as what plants were found somewhere, and for example, there is a tribe somewhere, and the people of this tribe have long necks.

In this forest, books are the rarest, so in a way, he is more valuable than forest coins, of course, in the eyes of some people, books are not worth a dime, such as his Abba Oma, what is the use of not knowing how to read and ask for books? Even if he can read and write, Tong Hu, who is born without roots, will not compare it with braised pork.

Tong Yan went straight to a corner of Baoan Canyon, where there was a shop without any signs, and there was a chimney outside the store, emitting black smoke.

"Why are you here again?" came out of the shop, a middle-aged man with his sturdy arms exposed, and said to Tong Yan very reluctantly.

Tong Yan didn't hear it at all, and took off the fur and other things on his body by himself, and moved his shoulders relaxedly.

The middle-aged man stared at the things on the ground and beckoned to Tong Yan, "Come in, but I can only stay for half an hour today, because I have a big customer coming." ”

Tong Yan nodded with a pat of the little white teeth, and stepped into the door of the black hole, the temperature inside suddenly rose by several degrees, and what caught his eye was all kinds of ironware.

That's right, this is a blacksmith shop, the conditions are all kinds of dirty and messy, why did Tong Yan choose this shop? Because Tong Yan found that the owner of this shop actually knew how to use coal, this was the first time he saw someone else learn to use coal after he came to this world.

Speaking of which, I have to mention the blacksmith shop, there are many blacksmith shops in the security canyon, but the fire used in each blacksmith shop is very secretive, why keep it secret, because it can raise the temperature of the fire to the extent of making iron, without the help of coal, I am afraid it is very difficult, but this world is all blacksmith shops that do not rely on coal forging, how they raise the temperature of the flame, this is a secret, so each one has its own unique recipe.

And the blacksmith and the tailor are the most respected people in the security valley, such people are craftsmen, which seems to be the work of the next work, but it includes some nobles, from this it can be seen that the craftsman is not a low-level job, and his status is even quite high.

Therefore, craftsmen are the objects of every nobleman's wooing, for example, a castle called Boroan, this castle is very noble, and the castle wants to hire a blacksmith, it is not directly called, it needs to be hired with a lot of money.

It can be seen that the status of craftsmen is high, and every inferior person in Baoan Canyon takes becoming a craftsman as their lifelong goal, but it is a pity that it is too difficult to become a craftsman.

Tong Yan accidentally found that this place was actually emitting black smoke, which was completely different from other blacksmith shops, this kind of black smoke chimney, he really knew too well, after observing a few times, he definitely guessed that the entire blacksmith shop was forged with coal, which was also the reason why the middle-aged man in front of him did not like Tong Yan very much, but he couldn't help it.

The devil knows, this young man actually discovered the secret of his flame, and said it to the truth, how can he not be frightened, the fire used in forging is the secret of every blacksmith, if this young man spreads his secret, there will be more and more people competing for jobs.

So after weighing the pros and cons, he was very reluctant to agree to Tong Yan's "unreasonable request" and let Tong Yan watch from the side when he was forging.

The prime man's name was Haley, a native of the inferior tribe, who inadvertently discovered that coal could burn and burn iron red, so he became a blacksmith.

It can be said that Haley only knew that coal could make fire, and that he had completely explored the way to make iron tools, so it is conceivable that his skills were not much higher.

Even if the technology is not good, and there are many years of forging experience, the reason why Tong Yan came here with a cheeky face is to learn the skills of this person for so many years, but after he watched it a few times, he basically determined Haili's technical level.

In his previous life, although he had not practiced, he knew that striking iron is a technical work, a sledgehammer and a small hammer, the small hammer is controlled by the master, the sledgehammer is controlled by the apprentice, the small hammer controls the whole rhythm, it is the work of the brain, and it is the key to ensure the final completion of an iron tool.

When a person wields a sledgehammer, it is very difficult to think about the correct position of the hammer, which means that when the sledgehammer falls, this time is not enough to think about how the iron tool needs to extend and control the force of the sledgehammer.

This is also why the people who control the hammer are older, not because the older ones have less strength, but because the older ones are experienced enough to know what to do every step.

If you come alone, the chance of the beaten iron becoming defective is even higher, and the quality of the product is understandable, which is why you need to be proud of your talent to become a craftsman.

The rhythmic sound of tinkling is the essence of striking iron, but from the current point of view, Haley's talent is very, very ordinary, so his blacksmith shop is not so famous, and he doesn't even dare to hang up the sign.

Tong Yan took out a handful of unknown seeds, put them in his mouth one by one and knocked them out, and then spit them out, looking at Hailey who was sweating like rain on the opposite side very leisurely.

The hammer used by Hai was also very unreasonable, because one hand needed to hold the forged iron tool with iron tongs, which limited the distance he could use the hammer, and a short hammer came into being.

Because there is no way to use a long-distance hammer to save strength, so increasing the weight of the hammer has become the key, which also tests the strength of a blacksmith, so it seems that a blacksmith not only needs a good brain, but also needs a good physique, no wonder a qualified blacksmith is so rare.

However, there must be other methods for Hailey to forge the finished iron, and this method is Hailey's killer feature, no matter how you look at it, this short hammer is impossible to make a piece of iron into the desired shape.
