CH.060 Dan Chi is pitch black
What you want to make is a kitchen knife, which is a kitchen knife used by ordinary people to cut vegetables. Xiangyu Qingchong and Guanfeng went to the blacksmith shop in the west, and the cuckoo boy and Guansong went to the blacksmith shop in the east. Although Xiangyu is a girl, but her arms are thick and round, very cute, and very powerful, after some attempts, she looked at the thin Qing Chong and the crown peak on the face of Brother Gongzi, and actually volunteered to pull the bellows. It's extremely easy to see, but it's not easy! The flames in the big furnace are running straight out, Xiangyu pulls it a few times, and she is already sweating like rain, and her arms are so sore! Changed to Qing Chong to go into battle, although Qing Chong is very thin, but after all, he is a boy. Guanfeng looked at the red stove, and was cowardly in his heart, and put the iron embryo selected by the blacksmith into it tremblingly with tongs. Then watching from a distance, Xiangyu and Qingchong took turns pulling the bellows to ensure that the fire in the furnace was stable and vigorous! The afterglow of the setting sun reflected the clouds and sky in the west, as if the furnace lined all the people and things in the ruined house. Guanfeng called Qingchong, changed Xiangyu and slowly pulled the bellows, and finally paused. Qing Chong clamped the red iron embryo, turning from time to time, Guanfeng clenched the big hammer with both hands, and pounded it again and again! It was still unformed, the surface was pitted, the edge of the knife was bent and curved, and the handle and the edge of the knife were the same thickness, all in all, this could not be seen to be a kitchen knife! Although the iron embryo had been processed by the iron master, the strength and skill could not keep up after all. The iron striking time was three days, seeing that the sky was already dark, Guanfeng decided to soak the semi-finished product in the water first, the red half-kitchen knife snorted in the cold water, but the cooled knife was very twisted. Guanfeng Qingchong looked around them for a while, and he didn't feel good in his heart! But he said that Guansong and the cuckoo and the bun boy were relatively weak, and the boy could pull the bellows, but he didn't make much effort, and the cuckoo could exert his strength occasionally, but it could not last. Guansong is good at scheming, calm and very calm, even if he learns the sword, he is also agile and graceful, and he does not use both brute force and ingenuity! The three of them couldn't, so they put the iron embryo in early, but the bellows often went out, and for a long time the iron embryo did not burn red enough to beat the heat of the mold. After a while, it died down, and the thriving blacksmith shop was deserted. After a day of tossing, the fire of this stove never came out of the fireside.
At night, this time and everything fall asleep in the night. The six young heroes slept with a snoring sound, saliva flowed into a piece, and they kicked their legs and turned their hands from time to time, they were really tired. The next day, Guanfeng exerted a lot of force, and slowly one side of the handle became thicker, and the edge of the blade became thinner. On the third day, the appearance of the knife came out, although it was black and the sides were a little twisted, but it was a kitchen knife, and some potholes did not change the fact that it could cut vegetables sharply. In three days, Guansong and the others finally burned the iron embryo red, and the iron hammer they picked up smashed the handle of the knife, and there were potholes on the body of the knife, and it seemed that the two sides were about the same, and the feeling of the sharp blade shining was not there, but it was pitch black. After all, the first time, it wasn't perfect!, they comforted, and decorated their kitchen knives with prepared wooden handles.
The blacksmith looked at their results, and there was no doubt that it was Guanfeng who won the game, although their knives did not have a hilt. The blacksmith gave them bags of iron beads, some maple leaf iron pieces, and a soft sword. Guanfeng had a knife but no hidden weapon, so he took the maple leaf, Qingchong took the iron bead, and Xiangyu also had a soft sword around his waist, which can be used for melee defense!
"Although your kitchen knives look clumsy, they can already cut vegetables, and they have a certain form. A kitchen knife is originally for cutting vegetables, which is better than stone chips, and the appearance is secondary, which is the most important. If it is a jade sword, cutting vegetables is also scrap iron, and even if the kitchen knife is inlaid with jade, it is only cutting vegetables. If the system is not in place, even if the knife is sharpened every time, it is unbearable to use. It's better to achieve it overnight and win in the original. If the knife is not sharp enough, the cutting will not be smooth, and if it is too sharp, it will be brittle and easy to break. Striking iron is actually a combination of strength and understanding, and it needs to be tempered and deepened daily, poured with their own efforts and understanding, in order to have satisfactory works. ”
This blacksmith has a deep understanding of ironsmithing and life, and Guansong and they are also convinced, and they are ready to follow the blacksmith to learn art for three months. After discussing with Guanfeng Xiangyu and Qing Chong, they decided to join them in the blacksmith's shop. After all, the six of them are not separated from each other, and they need to break the formation together.
They get up early every day, chop wood, burn charcoal, carry burdens, carry water, stretch tendons, and train their arm strength. Pull the bellows, pick the sledgehammer, ding ding, ding, dangdang. Sweating profusely every day, their faces were flushed! After sleeping late and getting up early and greedy for darkness for three months, the six of them benefited a lot. When to pull the bellows, when to add more charcoal, and when to hammer and knock, there is a certain amount of control. Before leaving, he also left two kitchen knives, and the right to regard it as a master's work. And Xiangyu has a unique love for bellows, the faster it is pulled, the more vigorous the flames, and suddenly slowly, but the empty bellows seem to have strength inside. Because she pondered this rule and technique every day, she even learned some of her own techniques for using the iron hook and whip, the hook is hard, and the hook rope is soft. Hardness is the only way to hook objects, and softness is the ability to control the direction. The hard iron hook can flexibly hook different positions at different angles, and the soft hook rope can rush straight to the target under the drive of force. No wonder Master often said that it is better to use a soft whip than to use a sword. The whip is soft, but it can penetrate it, and it does not turn into something, and weakness becomes strength. The whip can be long or short, one inch short, one inch delicate. An inch long, an inch strong. Between the long and short, switch at will, you can attack or defend. Carry a soft whip with you, pumping, throwing, sweeping, hanging and even throwing is okay. It's just this ingenuity, but it has never been able to grasp the point. I don't think that in the past three months, the control of the breath in the bellows has triggered my comprehension of the whip method. Your own strength and the air power generated by the bellows are really one, so that the whip is the same, and between the shaking exercises, the trajectory of the hand is extended to the soft whip, and the whip is your extended arm. Xiangyu couldn't help laughing, this time she was naturally worth the trip. They said goodbye to the blacksmith and walked to the next place, this time to the place where the owner of the tofu stall in the market was Yu Chi Ram.
The tofu shop of Yuchi Ram has the fragrance of tofu!
The name of the tofu shop is somewhat peculiar, the name is "Shosheng".
It should be the tenth formation, and the name of the formation is born!
I don't know how magical and edifying this tenth array is!
When I saw the owner of the tofu shop, I didn't want Yu Chi Ram to be a charming woman, with a beautiful appearance, and the skin on her face was smooth like white and tender tofu. As soon as he spoke, his voice was crisp, and when he raised his hand, he was extremely soft. Yu Chi Ram saw Guansong and others, smiled slightly, she was rowing tofu, the tofu was tender, she picked it up, not less than half a point, both catties were in her hands, no need to weigh the pole, no difference, one person, a huge stall, there were 7 or 8 people in line. Newspaper the number one by one. Yu Chi Ram raised his knife in his hand, and the tofu was in his hand into pieces, and he handed it out, the order was correct, and the catties and taels were right! Everyone was unfazed, thinking that they were already accustomed to it, so they took the tofu and turned around and left.
After some time, there was not much tofu left in the stall, and a stout man came out of the house behind the stall with a grid of tofu. Getting closer and closer, one accidentally slipped under his feet, and the tofu flew out, and the ram jumped up with one foot on the ground, and the tofu rotated in his hand, and he did not miss half a minute and a half! Looking at the man again, his feet were slippery, but his waist was stiffly straightened, and he stood up in a blink of an eye.
Everyone's eyes looked at the man, and everyone was terrified and thrilled! Seeing that the man could calm as if nothing had happened, they couldn't help but be very surprised.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on the face of the ram, and he said to Guan Song and the others: "My name is Yu Chi Ram, this is my Xianggong, Ram Yu Chi." "This hand is very affectionate!, Guan Song is old and steady, and nodded. Yu Chi Ram said, "You have just arrived, and you will have a good rest in our house today." Everyone expressed their gratitude, and Ram Wei Chi led everyone through the tofu stall and into the house. In front of the tofu workshop, there are four large water tanks, two stone mills, and a donkey, which are locked in a circle, and the cloth yarn washed and dried in the courtyard is flying in the wind. The firewood house in the yard was open, and bags and bags of soybeans were piled up at the door, piling up the firewood house! Guansong's mind only ran through this sentence: "Solid and happy, hard and fulfilling." "Ram Wei Chi took Guan Song and the others into a slightly larger house, there was no bed in the room, there was a long kang, I haven't slept, I don't know if I will get used to it, I have experienced life and death, then I care about hard work! Guansong and the others nodded again and again, just thinking about breaking the formation and going to Yunju Mountain earlier, where can they calculate whether the place where they live is good or bad?
Yu Chi Ram led Guan Song and the others to a room next to the stone mill, where bags of sacks were stacked together, and baskets of soybeans were placed on the ground. There is also a sieve next to the basket, which is supposed to be used to sift out the impurities mixed in the soybeans. The soybeans are round and cute, but there are some crushed beans and some small mud and sand stones. "To make tofu, the first thing is to sort out the soybeans, which should be round and full, without other impurities, and then soaked after cleaning. What you have to do now is to use a sieve, to pick up the stones and sand of these soybeans in the basket with your hands, and then pick out the good quality soybeans and put them in the sack on the side. It's very simple, but be serious. After saying that, the ram turned and left. "Can you break the formation so easily?" Guan Song and the others were simply a little incredulous.
