In the blacksmith shop, Yan Mao just started to ask questions curiously.

After all, Master Li has a lot of tools, including some mechanical supplies, such as grinding machines.

And Master Li naturally showed Yan Mao what he had typed out, and lifted a wooden box on the cabinet. When he opened it, he found that there were several kitchen knives and a hatchet, and they were all made with Wrapped in newspapers.

"These are the ones I made before, and they were all made by my fellow villagers for them, but I have something to do at the moment, so I didn't come to pick them up for the time being."

Master Li took them out one by one and gave Yan Mao a look.

At first glance, the style seems a little rough, and each knife is almost different from each knife.

Yan Mao naturally took them one by one and looked at them. He felt that each knife was very heavy, and naturally it was different from the knives that he usually saw coming out of the assembly line factory.

Moreover, as soon as the knife started, Yan Mao felt a vague feeling in his heart.

But Yan Mao didn't take it seriously, he just thought it was his own delusion.

"Master Li, what kind of aesthetics do you pay attention to when you fight with knives?"

Master Li was taken aback for a moment, "Ah? What is aesthetics?"

"What kind of stress point or something?"

"What is the force point?" Master Li waved his hand with a wry smile. "Those are things made by literate people. How can we blacksmiths know these things! My craftsmanship was passed down to me by my father, He taught me how to mix this material, how to punch it so that it won't be brittle, how to punch this knife so that it is comfortable to lie down, and how to cut it to save energy, that's what he taught me!"

"I really don't understand what you said!"

Yan Mao immediately understood why Chen Chu brought him to the forge.

Aesthetics, stress points, design studies, etc. are all summaries.

So where did this conclusion come from?

Isn't it summed up from these generations of craftsmen?

Naturally, they do not understand these so-called forces and aesthetics, and their craftsmanship is the best interpretation of these things.

Yan Mao suddenly had his own direction.

"Master Li, can you tell me the whole process of knife fighting?"

"If you want to listen to me, I will tell you naturally, it's not a secret anyway!" Master Li didn't care, he started to follow Yan Mao about the process of blacksmithing, and his method of blacksmithing was similar to that of his father's. It’s really different, and it’s also different from the way the grandfathers used to strike iron. After all, the acquisition channels for this raw material are different.

"My grandfather's generation, that's a long time ago. At that time, the place was remote and couldn't find materials. They either went to the river to find soil and stones, or they went up the mountain to dig. At that time, they all practiced by themselves..."

"It's different in my father's generation. With the materials, the way of striking iron is different..."

Yan Mao listened carefully.

After chatting for more than an hour, Master Li explained the whole process of blacksmithing, and explained it as clearly as possible, and when he saw Yan Mao's serious attitude, Master Li felt that I feel more comfortable inside.

Someone is willing to listen, and he is also willing to speak.

After that, Yan Mao couldn't sit still.

"Master Li, can you teach me to strike iron! What does it feel like to try ironing for myself?"

"Don't do it! Oh, this thing can't make you mess around, you're still a child! If you don't say anything else, you may not be able to turn the hammer..."

"You said that hammer!" Yan Mao pointed at a big hammer next to him.

"Yes, that's it. It takes a lot of strength. If you accidentally flash your waist, then I can't take the responsibility!"

"I don't think it should be a problem!" Yan Mao walked over, picked up the hammer with one hand, and blinked, "Hey? It doesn't seem to be heavy! It feels like I can move one hand. "

"Child, that's an illusion..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Mao put the hammer on his shoulders in one fell swoop, and winked at Master Li, "It doesn't seem to be heavy!"

"Or else, I'll hit you with a knife first, and you'll be watching?"

"also!"

Master Li naturally did not dare to let the children mess around, so he simply demonstrated it himself to relieve Yan Mao's cravings.

...

It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon before I knew it.

Chen Chu looked at the small fish in the bucket and felt that it was almost the same. At least he could make a pot of sauerkraut fish soup.

Well, I can only make fish soup.

After all, the fish is still too small.

"Deng Sijia, it's almost time, let's go!"

"Don't! Old Chen, I must catch this guy!"

At this moment Deng Sijia was holding a stick and kept poking into a small hole.

Just because Chen Chu caught a crab for Deng Sijia to play with half an hour ago, but the crab slipped into the hole if he was not careful.

I'm so angry with Deng Sijia!

With a stick, I went with the crab.

Chen Chu was dumbfounded for a while.

When he returned to the township, it was almost five o'clock. Naturally, Chen Chu asked his fellow villager for some pickled cabbage, and then he took Deng Sijia back to the blacksmith shop.

As a result, both Chen Chu and Deng Sijia were dumbfounded this time.

He didn't see Master Li at all, but Yan Mao had already put on gloves and a pocket, holding a pair of pliers in one hand to hold the red-hot iron, while the other hand held a hammer and kept knocking there, and he saw Chen Chen. Chu and Deng Sijia grinned subconsciously.

"Why are you still doing it yourself?" Chen Chu glared at his glasses, "Where is Master Li?"

"Two hours ago, a fellow called and said that his wife had fallen again, so he hurriedly rode his electric bike home, and he asked me to help me look at the store!" Yan Mao laughed, "This is not a good idea. Is it itchy? Just try it yourself!"

"Don't say it, this dress fits quite well!"

"..."

Chen Chu's face sank, and he pointed at Yan Mao and said, "How did I explain you before I came?"

Seeing that Chen Chu's face was pulled down, Yan Mao was taken aback, he quickly put everything back, and stood there honestly, "Old Chen, aren't I just sitting bored?"

"These are not excuses!" Chen Chu said with a serious face, "How can you touch other people's things without their permission?"

"And if something happens, how will you explain it to others? Who will be responsible?"

Yan Mao was too frightened to speak.

Deng Sijia naturally didn't have any intention of helping. If she dared to talk too much at this time, she would definitely be taught by Chen Chu.

"These are the basic principles of being a human being. In front of me on weekdays, there is no big or small. That's what I let you and I don't care about you, but how do you know that others are just like me?" Chen Chu said angrily. Pointing to a corner and saying, "Go, face the wall and think about the past!"

"oh oh……"

Yan Mao lowered his head and was about to turn towards the corner.

"Take off your clothes first!"

Yan Mao shrank his neck, hurriedly dragged his pocket on the wall, and ran to the corner to stand in despair.

"Really, listen carefully when teaching you how to be human on weekdays!" Chen Chu pouted, "One or two, how can you be ignorant?"

While speaking, Chen Chu glanced at Deng Sijia subconsciously.

Deng Sijia quickly showed a smile, and put her hands on her head to show a love, "Old Chen, I'm sensible and obedient!"

"Well, you're fine."

It was almost six o'clock when Master Li came back.

Master Li just came to the shop on an electric bike, and when he saw Chen Chu and Deng Sijia were there, he said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Xiao Chen, my daughter-in-law suddenly fell on the road and accidentally hit her head. Now, I will send her to the clinic in town for a checkup, it's really wasting your time!"

"It's okay, Master Li, how is the situation?"

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a skin injury, it gave me a big shock!" Master Li hurriedly said, "You haven't eaten yet? It's hard for you to look at the store, or just take a look here, I I'll cook for you! You see these two kids are starving, I'm so sorry!"

"Don't, Master Li, you've worked hard enough!" Chen Chu hurriedly said, "Sit down for a while, and I'll cook the meal! It just so happened that I've already bought the food, and this child has been taken care of by you a lot!"

After all, there is a small kitchen at the back of the store. Although it is a bit crude, it has everything that should be there.

After all, I asked Master Li to be polite and let him sit down and rest for a while.

Chen Chu began to get busy as soon as he stroked his sleeves.
