Father Wei came to the market early in the morning. The market would be lively on March 6, 9, and 9. People from the whole town would gather here, some buying vegetables and meat, and some buying vegetables and meat. Many people in the town knew Father Wei and started chatting with him when they saw him.
"Old Wei, are your feet just fine?"
"I advise you to stop blacksmithing. The blacksmithing industry is very bad now, and you can't make much money at all. You are not young anymore. If you get injured again, you will lose all your money, and it will be even more worthless. "
"The iron tools made by other people's machines are becoming more and more easy to use, and they don't rust. Nowadays, it's not that easy to get better through iron forging. Often you spend a lot of time and effort to build just one, and it's not as good as making large quantities. It’s produced.”
When Father Wei heard what everyone said, he just smiled lightly and said: "Although the mechanical ones are good, they are still not as good as blacksmithing, and some iron tools with complex shapes may not be made by machines."
If his words were heard by Su Jing, he would definitely praise him. Su Jing gave him the dwarf hammering technique with a hidden purpose, which was to let him create some iron tools that could not be made by machinery. For example, the vegetable cutting knives used by Su Jing are various unique shapes from the time and space of "The Wilderness". In order to satisfy the superb knife skills, many exquisite designs have been added, which are difficult to manufacture mechanically. The ones Su Jing used before were all called It was specially made by a man. Although it is pretty good, strictly speaking, it does not fully meet the requirements of the "Wild Wasteland" space-time knife. It cannot maximize the knife skills of the "Wild Wasteland" time and space. It is not sharp enough, not tough enough, and not sophisticated enough. . With Su Jing's current strength, if she used her full strength, she would even cut off the tip of the knife.
If Father Wei learns the dwarf hammering technique, immerses himself in it, and learns the essence, he will definitely be able to create knives that better meet the requirements. In this way, Su Jing does not need to do it himself. After all, apart from blacksmithing and forging, this dwarf hammering technique is no different. The meaning is obvious. For Su Jing, there is no need to spend time and energy to learn. Can't she learn to be a blacksmith by herself
"Haha, old Wei, don't give up. Take a look at the bone chopping knife that A Diao uses. The brand seems to be called Shiba Zi. I don't know how easy it is to chop bones. It won't curl or rust at all. , you have been using it for several years, how can you produce such a good knife?" A middle-aged man said with a smile.
"The bone chopping knife of Lao Wang's family seems to be forged from blacksmith, but it was made by Master Zhou, the blacksmith master, during his lifetime. You should know it. Since the death of Master Zhou, no blacksmith has such good craftsmanship. ." Another tall, thin middle-aged man said.
"That's not necessarily true. I made a bone chopping knife some time ago and I think it's pretty good." Father Wei smiled and took out a bone chopping knife from his bag. This bone chopping knife looked quite heavy at first glance. , the handle of the knife is dark, and the blade exudes a cold light, which is a little penetrating.
"Hey, this knife looks pretty good."
"Old Wei, your skills seem to have improved. Just look at the smoothness of the blade surface. It's not what it used to be."
"I don't know how it will be used, or whether it will be useful or not."
"You will know if you try it." Father Wei said with a confident smile. Everyone came here to go to the market. They basically had nothing to do. They swarmed to the place where the pork was sold. The A Diao and Lao Wang they were talking about were both. They sell pork. Most people find it very difficult to chop bones and chop ribs. One is the problem of knife skills, and the other is the problem of the knife. So I couldn't help but feel very satisfied when I watched A Diao and Lao Wang chop the bones open with three or two chops. Envy, those who buy pork from time to time remember the two knives of the two.
"A Diao, Lao Wang, Lao Wei said he made a very good knife, why don't you give it a try." Everyone gathered around.
"Bring it to me and try it." A Diao said with a smile. As a pork buyer, he had very high requirements for bone chopping knives. When he saw a good knife, he couldn't help but pay attention. Seeing that the knife in Wei's father's hand looked like Not bad, just want to try it. Lao Wang from the shop next to him didn't pay any attention to him and just focused on greeting the customers and doing business.
"Here." Father Wei smiled and handed over the bone chopping knife.
A'Diao took the bone-chopping knife and chopped it into the ribs quickly. Each cut was crisp and clean, cutting the ribs in half without any connection. A'Diao, who was just curious to try it out, his eyes suddenly froze. Bright. He could feel that this knife was much sharper than his usual knife, and he could cut the ribs without any effort at all.
He stopped and looked at the blade. It was still completely flat and bright, with no trace of wear and tear. He looked at the chopping board again and was even more surprised because there was a deep knife mark left on the chopping board. The knife he just used It was the usual strength for chopping bones, because he chopped almost every day, practice makes perfect, and the strength control has been extremely precise. The reason why such deep knife marks appeared was not because he used more force than usual, but because the knife was too sharp.
"Good knife." A Diao couldn't help but praise.
"It does look good."
"Cut it again and see if the pork leg bone can curl."
Ah Diao listened to everyone's advice and used the cleaver to chop the pork leg bones. The pork leg bones were chopped as easily as dried tofu. He chopped a lot of bones. Look at the blade. Not to mention the curling blade. No traces of wear are visible.
"What a knife."
"It is indeed a good knife."
"Old Wei, you have been blacksmithing for several years. How come your skill has become so high and you can make such a good knife?"
"Is it that good? Let me take a look." Hearing everyone's comments and admiration, Lao Wang, who was a little unconvinced, walked over, took the knife from A Diao's hand, and then chopped various bones. , his knife skills are naturally not bad, but compared to A Diao, he is much wilder, and the damage to the knife is greater, and he also deliberately chops randomly, regardless of whether the chop is crooked, but after he finishes the chop, , the blade is still perfect. At this time, even Lao Wang was shocked and had to give in.
Others also had itchy hands and took the bone-chopping knife and chopped off one or two bones. The crisp and clean feeling of breaking with one knife made them happy and wanted to chop all the pig bones. However, A Diao and Lao Wang just let them try their hand and didn't let them cut more.
"Old Wei, how much does this knife cost? I want to buy one back."
"I want one too. This knife is really useful, but it won't be too expensive, right?"
Listening to everyone rushing to buy, Wei's father smiled widely. In the past, the iron tools he made were dispensable to others, and he was the one who begged others to buy them. But now it's almost the other way around. This is the first time I've been treated like this.
