【Chapter 50: The Teacher's Show】(2)
Zuihou Wang Lishou handed the two beheading knives to Wang Liqing and the others beside him to watch, and then looked at Wang Niansheng and Wang Gangqiang: "I won't comment on what you are fighting for the time being, you can tell yourself how you feel, Niansheng, you come first." ”
Seeing the master's name, under the attention of many people, Wang Niansheng did not have the slightest stage fright: "Master, this decapitation knife is made by me using the fish scale method, except for the sledgehammer used for fine iron calcination and hammering, after completing nineteen stacks, they are all beaten with small hammers, a total of 1,376 hammers. The quenching timing is well grasped, and this knife is enough to be called a top grade in terms of strength and hardness. ”
Wang Lishou nodded: "You are very confident, so tell me about your own shortcomings?"
Wang Niansheng pondered slightly: "The lack is that the physical strength is still not enough, if you can complete twenty stacks, this knife can be used better." ”
"You kid ......" Wang Lishou smiled: "Excellence is the most basic quality of our blacksmiths, but a decapitator like this can be counted as a good product if it can be stacked ten times, and you can complete nineteen stacks, which is really good." Okay, I won't lie to you anymore, whether it is the forging process or the result, you don't have any big problems, it can be seen from this that you haven't been in vain all these years, you ...... Cleared!"
"Great!" Wang Niansheng was so excited that he was about to jump, and the twenty-six-year-old man looked like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.
Wang Gangqiang glanced at him enviously from the side, and when Wang Lishou looked over, he replied in a deep voice: "Master, I used the same fighting style as Nian Sheng, and I also completed nineteen stacks, totaling 1,318 hammers. However, the quenching timing seems to be a little bad, which affects the strength of the knife, but the impact is not very large, and the durability may be reduced by 10%......"
"The durability is one percent lower, you are not wrong, but this is also called the impact is not very big?" Wang Lishou frowned: "The customer bought a knife, spent ten percent of the money but only used ninety percent of the goods, you are happy to go?"
Wang Gangqiang chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly responded: "Master, I didn't mean that. It's just that...... Today is too important, I'm a little nervous, that's why I hesitate, I don't usually have this kind of situation!"
"Strong, you are my first apprentice to enter the door, and you are Nian Sheng's senior brother. But all along, your level is a step lower than Nian Sheng, not because your basic skills are not solid enough, but because your psychological quality is not high enough. Wang Lishou said solemnly: "I said that striking iron is actually the same as cultivating martial arts, we must be free of distractions and not affected by external objects in order to do our best." ”
Wang Gangqiang's head lowered: "Master...... I...... I've tried hard, but it's just ......."
"I understand that you are also a little hesitant in your personality and lack that strong self-confidence!" Wang Lishou nodded and said: "You learn more from Nian Sheng in this regard, and your teacher show ...... today."
After a pause, in Wang Gangqiang's increasingly frustrated expression, in the midst of everyone's surprise, Wang Lishou smiled: "I have also passed the test, after all, my Wang Lishou's apprentice, even if he is only ninety percent good, the weapons he creates are also of the highest quality!"
Wang Gangqiang was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, he shook his fist and roared, tears burst out, this burly man couldn't hold back his excitement, knelt in front of Wang Lishou, and cried like a child.
Gently stroked Wang Gangqiang's head, Wang Lishou smiled and said: "Strong, after leaving the school, I will no longer chase after you and say this and that, I hope you will make persistent efforts, find your own position as soon as possible, and be a confident blacksmith!"
Seeing this scene, Lu Buqiang's heart was deeply touched, and the persistence in Wang Gangqiang's heart resonated with him, and he could imagine how much effort Wang Gangqiang had made in order to overcome his inner weaknesses.
Wang Lishou is also worthy of being a famous teacher, whether it is in terms of skills or mentality, he has a strong influence on his apprentices, even if he is a teacher, his words and deeds are not the same as others.
"These two knives are of great significance to you, you put them away by yourself!" Wang Lishou handed the decapitation knife back to the two: "When you feel that you are really an excellent blacksmith, you will give it a strike." ”
"Yes, Master!" Wang Niansheng also knelt down, and together with Wang Gangqiang, he took the knife, which also took over the inheritance of a skill and spirit.
After the two kowtowed, Wang Lishou helped the two up, patted his hands, looked around at everyone and laughed loudly: "Today's apprentice is strong and Nian Sheng is a teacher, everyone is so hearted, they all came to watch the ceremony, and Lishou is grateful." In order to express the gratitude of the gift, everyone present can pick one thing for free!"
"Free!?" Everyone applauded in an uproar, and was almost about to rob it, Wang Lishou hurriedly shouted in a deep voice: "Don't tear down Lao Tzu's shop, don't pick the ordinary people blindly, choose any household utensils in the shop, as for the warrior, just choose a weapon." Strong, Niansheng, you are responsible for giving gifts, Lu Yanzi, you guard the door for Lao Tzu, don't come to get it if you don't have a witness, Lao Tzu has to be taken away even if there is a mountain of gold!"
Wang Lishou's words naturally caused a burst of laughter, and then a happy scene happened, and the reputation of Wang Da Blacksmith was naturally going to spread again in Guoji Town.
Wang Liqing also chose a spear made of fine iron, with a smile on his face: "Haha...... I was here to buy a gun, but now it's better to take it for nothing!"
Wang Lihong chose a pair of steel claws, while Wang Lihai chose a single knife, which are undoubtedly the high-grade weapons in Wang Lishou's shop, and they are obviously quite satisfied.
"Damn, you guys are really picky!" Wang Lishou looked at the three of them depressedly: "It's noisy here, let's go out for a walk, just tell you about the good things that happened in the Great Steward's Mansion in the morning!"
