Bao Ma is rich in the realm of self-cultivation

Chapter 71 Refining ([-])

Hu Qing was taken aback, it's only been a few days since I saw him, why did he lose a lot of weight and beard?

Seeing a guest, the little apprentice tried his best to laugh: "Sister, it's you, what do you want?"

Hu Qing was so frightened by his crying smile that he almost slapped his chest: "What's wrong with you? You were robbed?"

The little apprentice was listless, probably because no one spoke on weekdays, and someone asked him what he was impatient to confide in.

"My master is gone."

Hu Qing's heart trembled, Shui Xin said that the master will not be alive for a few days, now it sounds like he has left?

Shouldn't she say "sorrow and resignation"?
The little apprentice grinned, and said in a crying voice: "I'm too stupid, my master said he would be mad at me, he doesn't want me anymore, let's go."

Hu was silent.The master doesn't want his apprentice to be sad about his passing, but the scars of being abandoned will last a lifetime.Comparing the two, I don't know which is more painful.

She said, "Your master left the shop to you?"

"what."

"Then your master still likes you."

The little apprentice wiped his eyes: "The master said that I and this shop are his burdens."

Hu Qing: The mouth is very poisonous, what do you want?
Said: "Then you run the shop well, maybe one day your master will come back." After a pause: "It's also possible that your master is not angry with you, but just sprinkled the fire on you when something goes wrong. , I might come back when the weather clears up."

Little Apprentice: "Really?"

Hu lightly shrugged: "Do you want to accept the job?"

The little apprentice came out.

Hu Qing took out the blueprint: "I want a stove, several different pots, and these, do you think you can do it?"

The little apprentice looked at it sideways and nodded: "Okay."

Stand still.

Hu Qing: "You should do it."

He just reacted and went to the stove.

Hu Qing sighed, with such a temperament, the master would not feel at ease when he left.Maybe he scolded him like that because he wanted to scold him for his future.

The little apprentice took the long iron pliers, went to the iron pile, looked at this piece, and looked at that piece, but he didn't pick one up for a long time.

Seeing that Hu Qing was impetuous, he went over and pulled a big piece: "This."

The little apprentice grinned at her, Hu Qing turned her head, it was so ugly.

The man walked towards the stove with the iron in his arms, and when there was a clatter, the iron was thrown into it, and the man just looked at it dumbfounded, and when Hu Qing took a few steps, the iron melted into water in the big stove.

mad at her.

Take a deep breath, take a deep breath.

"Young man, what's your name?" She tried to be kind.

The little apprentice stared blankly at her: "Tiesheng."

This name, whether you choose it or not.

"Tiesheng, sister, come by yourself. I'm afraid you'll spoil all those pieces of iron, and I still have to eat." She patted Tiesheng on the shoulder: "You just stand by and tell me what to do."

Tiesheng opened his mouth several times: "This is not good."

During the time he hesitated, Hu Qing had already taken another pair of long pliers and picked up a large piece of iron, put it in the furnace and heated it red, and put it on the blacksmithing table.

She saw a hammer next to her, picked it up and tried it, the weight was right.

With a bang, it smashed down, smashing Tiesheng's words back.

Tie Sheng only felt that this hammer was really imposing, and the blow sent out waves of anger.

Little did they know that Hu Qing was aggrieved, she was obviously a customer, not to mention being a god, why shouldn't she do it herself?This is called experiential service?

"I'll do it myself, you can only charge me for materials."

The hammer wielding in her hand seemed heavy, but in the hand of Hu Qing whose physical fitness had been greatly improved, it was as easy as an arm. The red iron piece under the hammer was like a piece of steaming water dough, allowing her to grind it.

Hu Qing actually liked this feeling a little bit.

Seeing such a customer for the first time, Tie Sheng was stunned for a while, and he said ahhh, and he really told her how to do it.

It was the first time for Hu Qing to get started, and he didn't dare to make things complicated, so he flattened an iron block with a hammer and made a flat shallow cauldron, which is good for frying or spreading cakes.There is also a cover, which must be made of wood.

Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.After stinging in cold water.

The color of white iron looks so clean.

Satisfied, Hu Qing moved the scraps cut off from the table to the side, and went to Fantiedui to pick a piece, this time to make a deep steamer.

She asked Tiesheng that she gradually became more and more familiar with it, and Tiesheng seemed to have regained his backbone and regarded her as a lifeline.

"Brass? Yes, I'll look for it."

Hu Qing: "As long as it is copper."

Copper pots are a must. It's shameful that we haven't arranged a hot pot meal after coming here for so long.

Tiesheng brought her a pile of copper blocks, some were yellow, some were red, some were white, and some were blue. It was an eye-opener for Hu Qing to see that this world is very rich in metals.

They came all the time, and beat them too, anyway, the serious boss was gone, and Tie Sheng was so undressed, so she wouldn't be polite.

He picked up a piece of brass and put it into the fire. The fire was very powerful, and the flames burned the copper piece after a few strokes.The copper block stretched and folded under her hammer, kneading and kneading like dough.

The fire in Hu Qing's eyes danced, and the arms kept swinging up and down, and gradually there was only the sound of metal impacting in the ears, the hammer head fell up and down, and the trajectories gradually overlapped, as if a unique path had been opened up in the air.

Tie Sheng watched from the side at first, then was surprised, then sad, and the more he watched, the more sad he became: Is this what the master said about entering the profession?He has been with 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 in the profession that the master said.

The master said that as long as he can hammer a piece of material larger than his head to the size of a fist at one time, he will be enlightened.

After so many years, he couldn't do it, but the sister in front of him who just picked up a hammer for the first time did it in one go.

The copper block, which was bigger than the head, had been hammered by her until it was half the size of the head.

Woohoo, I'm so stupid, the master doesn't want him.

Hu Qing woke up from the state of obsession, and had a good time, only to find that there was only a small lump of copper on the blacksmithing platform. Surprised, she knocked out the copper?
The remaining small ball of copper is as white as water and shaped like a fish, and it is still warm in the hand. Looking at the soft light on the surface of the copper fish, Hu Qing suddenly thought of Shui Xin, this thing seems to be just a wooden fish?The sound of knocking from this smooth little head must be clear and crisp.

She blinked only to realize that the weather outside was not right, she was surprised: "I played for a long time?"

Tie Sheng didn't pay attention and was only sad. He looked outside and the sky was beginning to darken, and said, "It's been a long time."

Hu Qing held the little copper fish back and forth, frowning: "This is wrong. I punched a piece of brass, how did it turn white? Besides, such a big piece of copper has become so small, it can't be full of impurities, right?" .”

Tie Sheng was very sad: "Because you refined it into fine copper. This grade can be used as a decorative pattern on the sheath of a monk's sword."

Hu Qing was surprised: "Is it not ordinary?"

Tie Sheng nodded and shook his head again: "It's higher than ordinary grades, but it's not as good as refining materials."
