Chapter 70: Refinement (6)
Hu was startled, I haven't seen him for a few days, why did people lose a lot of weight and have a scruffy beard?
Seeing that there were guests, the little apprentice tried his best to laugh: "Eldest sister, it's you, what do you want?" ”
Hu Qing was so frightened by his crying smile that he almost patted his chest: "What's wrong with you?" Robbed? ”
The little apprentice was listless, probably because no one spoke on weekdays, and someone asked him if he was impatient to talk.
"My master is gone."
Hu Qing's heart sank, Shui Xin said, that master has a few days to live, and now it sounds like the person has left?
Shouldn't she say "Joy and change"?
The little apprentice grinned and said with a crying voice: "I'm too stupid, my master said that he was going to be angry with me, he didn't want me anymore, and left." ”
Hu was silent. The master doesn't want the apprentice to be sad about his passing, but the scars of being abandoned will also carry him for a lifetime. Compared with the two, I don't know which one is more painful.
She said, "Did your master leave the shop to you?" ”
"Ahh
"Then your master still likes you."
The little apprentice wiped his eyes: "The master said that I and this shop are a burden to him." ”
Hu Qing: ... The mouth is very poisonous, what do you want?
said: "Then you run the shop well, I can't tell if your master will come back one day." After a pause: "Maybe your master is not angry with you, but he just sprinkled fire on you when something unpleasant happened, and maybe he will come back when the weather disappears." ”
Little Apprentice: "Really? ”
Hu shrugged lightly: "Do you want to take the job?" ”
The little apprentice walked out.
Hu Qing took out the drawings: "I want a stove, a few different pots, and these, do you see if you can do it?" ”
The little apprentice leaned over and nodded, "Okay." ”
Stand still.
Hu Qing: "You should do it." ”
He reacted and walked towards the stove.
Hu sighed lightly, with such a temperament, the master can't go at ease. Maybe he scolded him like that to scold him for his own sake.
The little apprentice took a long iron tong and walked to the pile of iron, looking at this piece and that piece, and he didn't pick up a piece for a long time.
Seeing that Hu was impetuous, he went over and pulled a big one: "This." ”
The little apprentice grinned at her, and turned his head slightly, it was really ugly.
The man walked to the furnace with the iron in his hand, and when he was long, the iron was thrown directly into it, and the man looked at it stupidly, and when he took a few steps away, the iron turned into water in the furnace.
Angry with her.
Take a deep breath, then a deep breath.
"What is your name, young man?" She tries to be kind.
The little apprentice looked at her blankly: "Tie Sheng." ”
This name, to be distracted or not.
"Tie Sheng, sister come by herself. Sister is afraid that you will spoil all those pieces of mortal iron, and sister will have to eat. She patted Tie Sheng on the shoulder: "You stand on the side, just tell me how to do it." ”
Tie Sheng's mouth opened several times: "This is not good. ”
He hesitated, Hu Qing had already taken another pair of long pliers, clamped a piece of mortal iron that was not small, put it in the furnace, burned red, and clamped it on the iron-striking platform.
She saw a hammer next to her, picked it up and tried it, the weight was suitable.
The bell slammed down, smashing Tie Sheng's words back.
Tie Sheng only felt that this hammer was really imposing, and he hammered out a wave of anger.
As everyone knows, Hu Qing is aggrieved, she is obviously a customer, not to mention being a god, why shouldn't she start it herself? Is this called experiential service?
"I'll come by myself, you can only charge me for materials."
The hammer wielding in her hand seemed heavy, but in Hu Qing's hand, whose physical fitness had been greatly improved, it was as easy as an arm, and the red iron under the hammer was like a piece of steaming water dough, allowing her to grind.
This feeling, Hu Qing actually felt a little liked.
Seeing such a customer for the first time, Tie Sheng was stunned for a while, and then he opened his mouth to tell her how to get it.
Hu Qing got started for the first time, and he didn't dare to make it complicated, so he flattened the iron hammer and made a flat shallow cauldron, which was good for frying or spreading cakes. I have to add another lid, which has to be made of wood.
Hammer knock knock, knock knock hammer, it really made her do it. A stinging sound in the cold water.
The color of the white iron looks so clean.
Hu Qing was satisfied, put the scrap cut off from the table to the side, and went to the iron pile to pick a piece, this time to make a deep steamer.
She asked Tie Sheng that she gradually became more and more familiar with her hands, and Tie Sheng seemed to have a backbone again, and used her as a life-saving straw.
"Brass? Yes, I'll look for it. ”
Hu Qing: "As long as it's copper." ”
Copper pot, there must be, it's been so long and a hot pot hasn't been arranged, it's too unusual.
Tie Sheng brought her a pile of copper blocks, yellow, red and white, blue, which was eye-opening, and it seemed that the metal in this world was very rich.
It's all here, and it's been beaten, anyway, the serious boss is gone, and Tie Sheng is so uncoated, so she's not welcome.
Pick up a piece of brass and send it to the fire, the fire is very powerful, the flame is extinguished a few times to burn the copper block to the red and burned through, Hu lightly picked up the hammer and beat it, sweating. The copper lump stretched and folded under her hammer, kneading and kneading it like dough.
The fire in Hu Qing's eyes jumped, his arms kept picking up and down, and gradually there was only the sound of metal hitting in his ears, the hammer head fell and rose and fell, and the trajectory gradually coincided, as if opening up a unique path in the air.
Tie Sheng looked at it at the beginning, was surprised later, and then sad, and the more he looked at it, the more sad he became: Is this what the master said about entering the industry? He has followed the master for so many years, and the master has taught him so many times, but he just can't feel the feeling of enlightenment that the master said.
The master said that as long as he could temper a piece of material larger than his head to the size of a fist at a time, he would be enlightened.
After so many years, he couldn't do it, but the sister in front of him, who had just picked up a hammer for the first time, did it at once.
The copper block bigger than her head had been tempered by her to the size of half a head.
Woo, he's so stupid, the master doesn't want him.
Hu Qing woke up from the state of indulgerence and had a good time, only to find that there was only a small ball of copper left on the iron platform, and she was surprised, she had lost the copper?
The remaining small lump of copper white like water resembles a fish, holding it in the hand and still having residual warmth, looking at the soft light on the surface of the copper fish, somehow Hu Qing suddenly thought of the water center, this thing seems to be just able to make a wooden fish? The sound of this sleek little head knocking out must be crisp.
She squeezed her eyes only to find that it was not right outside, and was surprised: "I've been playing for a long time?" ”
Tie Sheng didn't pay attention to the sadness, looked out and saw that the sky had begun to darken, and said, "It's been a long time. ”
Hu lightly shook the little copper fish and frowned: "This is not right." I made it a piece of brass, how did it turn white? Moreover, such a large piece of copper has become so small, it can't be all impurities. ”
Tiesheng was sad: "Because you have refined it into fine copper." This grade can be used as a decorative pattern on the outer sheath of a monk's sword. ”
Hu Qing was surprised: "It's not ordinary?" ”
Tie Sheng nodded and shook his head: "It is higher than the mortal grade, but it is not at the level of refining materials." ”
