1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Hey, Tiezhu, you came so fast?"

Seeing Chen Tiezhu and the others coming over, Qiao Shulin asked in surprise.

"Well, there's nothing to do anyway, just take a look at your method of wrapping steel, and then go back to find the second master to study the blade." Chen Tiezhu said casually.

"It's actually very simple, just wrap it with a layer on the outside. Tiezhu, do you think the mushroom planting thing is pretty sure to succeed?" Qiao Shulin asked eagerly.

"Uncle Shulin, there's no rush for this, it's all our own business, and we can arrange it when the time comes." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

Han Xiuying glanced at Chen Tiezhu secretly, this is the consequence of a lie.

When you tell a lie, you have to find a way to cover it up with more lies layer by layer.

"In that case, our furnace fire didn't go out, and the bellows came up as soon as it was pulled." Qiao Shulin said happily.

It's really because life is really hard, who doesn't want to make money?

It's okay if you don't hear it, but if you hear it, you will think about it.

Now he was relieved. Tiezhu would not forget the benefits.

Chen Tiezhu was the best person to pull the bellows.

It was really a miracle with great strength. When he came on stage, the flames soared up.

"Dad, will there be sparks in a while?" Doudou asked as he squeezed into Chen Tiezhu's arms.

"Yes, there will be sparks. I have to beat them for a long time." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Yeah, the sparks are beautiful. Doudou will pull them too." After the little guy said that, he directly grabbed the pull rod of the bellows.

But he tried his best, his face turned red, and he still couldn't pull it.

"Hahaha, let dad help you." Chen Tiezhu grabbed it with his big hand, and the flames continued to soar up.

After observing Qiao Shulin and his wife forging iron again, Chen Tiezhu saw some tricks.

The small awl in Qiao Shulin's hand was really not simple.

Two taps on the anvil mean that this round of blacksmithing is about to begin. The point where the small hammer lands on the iron piece and the direction of the hammer head are the landing point and direction of the big hammer.

The sound of the small hammer hitting the iron piece varies in intensity, and the force of the big hammer falling will also change.

After the small hammer taps the anvil twice more, this round of blacksmithing is over.

It looks simple, but what is needed here is experience and the tacit understanding between two people.

"Dad, how come blacksmithing is so interesting? "Click" hit, flutter, all sparks." Doudou looked at the direction of the anvil, very greedy.

"You can see the excitement, but it's not bad, it's a serious skill." Chen Tiezhu sighed.

"Dad, then can you blacksmith? When can our family blacksmith?" Doudou turned around, his eyes full of expectation.

"He? He can only cook and eat." Han Xiuying, who came over at some point, replied.

"Eh? I have a bad temper. Uncle Shulin, can you let me do some hammering?" Chen Tiezhu shouted.

Qiao Shulin was amused, "What's the point of this job? It's just hard work."

"You're wrong. We are real men, and real men have to do ironwork." Chen Tiezhu said seriously, and looked at Han Xiuying provocatively.

"Virtue."

Han Xiuying muttered.

"That's fine, try to hold the sledgehammer. Put on the apron, or sparks will jump all over you." Qiao Shulin nodded with a smile.

After putting on the apron, gloves, and picking up the sledgehammer, he was a little worried.

"It's okay, don't worry about hitting me, just don't be too light when you swing it." Qiao Shulin said.

"Uncle Shulin, do we have a heavier hammer head? This one is a bit light, and it's not strong enough to use with both hands." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Light? Wait a minute, hit this piece of iron with a hammer, let me see the quality, this is for the Xu Laonian family to nail horseshoes." Qiao Shulin picked up another piece of iron and said.

Chen Tiezhu thought about it, and pushed his right hand holding the hammer forward, about 20 centimeters away from the hammer head. He waved it and nodded with satisfaction.

He moved his arm a little, and with a "clang" sound, a hammer mark was directly hit on the iron bar.

"Wow, you are so strong? Your hammer is more powerful than our old woman's three consecutive hammers." Qiao Shulin said in surprise.

"Let me think about it. You can't use so much force. Save 30% of your force. When I use the heavy hammer sound, you can use this force. When I use the light hammer sound, you can use half of your force."

"By the way, can you hear the sound of the heavy hammer and the light hammer? You can't keep hammering with great force, especially when you adjust it later."

Chen Tiezhu was happy, "Uncle Shulin, I just saw some tricks. YouJust watch. "

"Okay, let's get started."

Qiao Shulin also became interested.

"Dangdang"

The small hammer tapped twice, and this round of ironwork officially began.

At the beginning? Chen Tiezhu was still a little nervous.

After all, this thing requires cooperation, and it was the first time for him to do such a job.

But after three hammers, he had confidence.

Because he didn't have to use his brain at all, his big hammer just followed the command of the small hammer.

His eyesight and hand strength, reaching this level is easy to add.

And Qiao Shulin? The more he hit, the more he enjoyed it.

Even if it was the first time to cooperate with Chen Tiezhu, he had a hearty pleasure. It was as if the two had learned ironwork together, and the tacit understanding was very strong.

Why is there an old saying that ironwork is like brothers?

It is because there is this tacit understanding between brothers, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"It's so enjoyable, it's really too enjoyable. With Tiezhu, I can save more than half the time. Moreover, Tiezhu is strong. He can forge iron by himself after getting familiar with it. "Qiao Shulin praised.

"Boss, Doudou is also very good. Just now, she was holding a steel bar and could keep up with your hammering sound." At this time, Wang Yulan spoke.

"Really? Doudou is really good," Qiao Shulin praised casually, not taking it to heart.

"Grandpa Shulin, Doudou is really good."

Doudou ran over directly, and then took the steel bar and started to hammer on the anvil.

Listening to it, Qiao Shulin frowned.

It's a bit incredible.

The small hammer is not only for command, but also for driving the rhythm. After the rhythm is up, the person swinging the big hammer can save energy and use the strength.

Now Doudou seems to be hammering casually, and this rhythm is really good.

Chen Tiezhu's heart moved slightly, "Uncle Shulin, how about letting Doudou and I try? She hammers on the side, I hammer alone, and you give instructions on the side?"

"Okay, let's try it. "Qiao Shulin didn't hesitate and agreed directly.

Han Xiuying beside him was a little dumbfounded.

It would be fine if Chen Tiezhu just played around, but why did he also put Doudou on it?

Then he went over to pull the bellows himself?

He shook his head and shook out the picture, which was a little impure.
