Material Empire

"Come on, little master, help me temper this hatchet too!"

"My hoe..."

Several farmers surrounded Qin Hai, and the address for Qin Hai changed from "young student" to "little master". The face is earned by oneself, Qin Hailu's move calmed down the audience, and everyone's respect for him spontaneously arose.

"Little master, are those methods you just learned difficult to learn?" Zhang Laosan stepped forward timidly, and asked Qin Hai with a bit of coyness. As a craftsman, seeing such superb skills, there is no reason not to be envious. What he was not sure about was whether Qin Hai would teach him this technique, after all, such things as technique were very valuable.

"Why, does Master Zhang want to learn?" Qin Hai asked with a smile.

Zhang Laosan was even more embarrassed. He faltered and said: "This... I don't know if it is suitable. Besides, I have no education. I have only been in high school, so I don't know if I can learn it..."

"If Master Zhang wants to learn, I'll just teach you." Qin Hai replied straightforwardly, "You may not be able to understand some theoretical issues, but with your rich experience, you will definitely be able to comprehend them."

"Yeah, I just need to learn some experience." Zhang Laosan said repeatedly, regardless of whether his own words and Qin Hai's words were not in line with each other. After he finished speaking, he remembered something again, so he asked softly: "Little master, Look... I ask you to teach me this, do you want to arrange a teacher appreciation ceremony or something. "

Qin Hai waved his hands again and again: "Don't dare, I just learned a little bit, so I dare not call myself a teacher in front of Master Zhang. Let's just discuss it together. How about it, Master Zhang, there are some other farm tools here, help me. Let me help, let's quench all these farm tools."

"Yes, yes, I wish for it." Zhang Laosan was very excited. For him, doing some work would not feel tiring at all, and he would earn too much if he could learn Qin Hai's skills through doing these works.

The fat man stayed in the house for a long time just now, and now his whole body was soaked in sweat, and he was sitting under the tree drinking cold boiled water. The other two young men, one tall and one short, only admired Qin Hai's skills, but had no desire to learn, so Qin Hai and Zhang Laosan went into the blacksmith's shop and began to repair those pieces one by one. farm tools.

Zhang Laosan's blacksmithing experience is naturally much higher than that of the fat man, so Qin Haibai basically does not need to do these things of forging ironware. When it came to the stage of heat treatment, Zhang Laosan also asked Qin Hai to give priority to explanations, and he followed Qin Hai's instructions to carry out the operation step by step, and in the process comprehended the essence of Qin Hai's heat treatment process.

"Well, this temperature is 900 degrees, right? I remember this color..."

"Okay, keep warm in the furnace ash, the furnace ash must have a certain temperature..."

"This water is called trinitrate solution, and it can be used to quench this kind of steel..."

Zhang Laosan eagerly absorbed the technology provided by Qin Hai, and in some places, he was even able to innovate and put forward some suggestions for improvement, which made Qin Hai couldn't help but click his tongue, sighing secretly that the real masters were actually lurking among the people.

"Great, so enjoyable!"

When a piece of farm tool completed all the heat treatment procedures in the hands of Zhang Laosan and was taken out of the quenching solution with a faint blue light, Zhang Laosan was so excited that he almost lost his mind.

"Old man, congratulations." Man Gu cheerfully congratulated Zhang Lao San. For a craftsman like Zhang Lao San, learning a new technology is a gratifying thing.

"It's all because of the good teaching of the little master. I was really mistaken before. The little master has a unique skill at a young age. He is really a great talent." Zhang Laosan didn't know how to praise Qin Hai better Well, before, he had expressed disdain for Qin Hai. Now that he thinks about it, it's ridiculous. Fortunately, Qin Hai is not someone who cares about him.

"Hey, master, I remember you said just now, if our brother's tempered shovel can split bricks, you will buy all our farm tools, will you not regret it now?" The fat man finally drank Enough water, he came alive again, he walked over with strenuous strides, Niu cooed to Mangu.

"Of course I won't go back on my word!" Man Gu said, poking his neck, "As long as Zhang Laosan and this little master deal with all these farm tools, I will take them all."

"All of them? We're going to raise the price," said the fat man.

"What's the price? Didn't we agree on a shovel at two yuan and five?" Several farmers hurried forward to reason. Such a good farm tool, even if they didn't mention the previous bet, they still planned to buy it, but the behavior of the fat man sitting on the ground and raising the price made them unhappy.

The fat man said: "Two yuan and five is the previous price. Our brothers are not good at learning, and the things we made are not satisfactory, so we have to sell cheap ones. Now there is this...by the way, buddy, what's your name?"

The last sentence, the fat man asked Qin Hai, he helped him so much, and he didn't even know the other party's name, so he couldn't justify it. In addition, the fat man is also thinking about getting Qin Hai to join him in the business of farming tools together in the future, so Qin Hai's name must be asked.

"My name is Qin Hai, what do you call my brothers?" Qin Hai asked back.

"My name is Ning Mo." The fat man replied, and pointed to the two partners, one tall and one short: "This one is Yu Haitao, and this one is Miao Lei."

"Disrespect, disrespect." Qin Hai bowed his hands to the three of them, which made the three of them flustered for a while. There were few costume dramas in those days, and this kind of hands-on ceremony was not familiar to everyone.

"By the way, I haven't finished talking..." After the fat man Ning Mo and Qin Hai exchanged their names, they turned back to the farmers and said, "Look, the steel we use is the best, Mr. Zhang The steel here is not as good as ours. Our quenching technology is also the best. Do you think our shovel can be sold cheaper than Zhang Laosan’s?"

"Several uncles, what Ning Mo said is also reasonable. You can't buy such a good shovel at the agricultural material company for three yuan, right? If Ning Mo's selling price is too low, it will disrupt the market. , I'm afraid Master Zhang is not happy either." Qin Hai stepped forward to help Ning Mo explain.

In fact, Mangu and the others had already adjusted the expected price in their minds. Qin Hai was right, such a good steel mouth, a shovel sold for three yuan is indeed not expensive. don't live. They held on to the price at the beginning because they didn't want to compromise with Ning Mo and the others. Now that Qin Hai came out to speak, they stepped off the donkey and said, "Since Master Qin has spoken, we have nothing to say. However, You young people can't ask for prices, at most you can't exceed the price of Zhang Laosan."

"Why, the steel we use is better than that of Zhang Laosan." The tall Yu Haitao muttered. These young people are not as gentle as Qin Hai, and they also call Zhang Laosan, who is a generation older than him, by his first name.

"Okay, Yu Haitao, the price is about the same."

Qin Hai came back to work here again. Seeing Qin Hai's words, Ning Mo and the others stopped insisting, and agreed to sell the remaining seven or eight tools to Mangu and the others at the price of similar products from Zhang Laosan's blacksmith shop after quenching.

The next thing is that everyone took turns to use Zhang Laosan's blacksmith furnace to heat treat the tools. A group of people have been busy working until the evening, before they finish their work. In addition to repairing the farm tools they bought last week, Mangu and the others also bought the remaining eight farm tools from Ning Mo and the others. Man Gu counted out 27 yuan and 50 cents and handed it to Ning Mo, and then went back happily with his companions.

"Get rich!" Seeing Mangu and the others walk away, the young people were overjoyed. The business went so smoothly, and the price of every piece of agricultural equipment was increased, which was equivalent to earning a few more dollars out of thin air.

"Come on, come on, Qin Hai, this is your share." Ning Mo was the leader of the three young people, and the money he earned from doing business was also distributed to him. He took out a card from the money and handed it to Qin Hai. When Yu Haitao and Miao Lei saw the situation, the corners of their mouths twitched. The total amount was less than 30 yuan, and Ning Mo actually gave Qin Hai 10 yuan. This is a bit too generous, right?

However, the two of them thought about it again, if Qin Hai hadn't helped them with today's matter, not only would they not be able to earn the 27.5 yuan, they might even have to pay a lot of money. The skill that Qin Hai showed made them admire to the bottom of their hearts. With Qin Hai's skill, it seems that it is not an exaggeration to take 10 yuan away.

The thoughts in Ning Mo's heart are the same as those of Yu Haitao and Miao Lei. He also has one more thought, that is, he wants to set up a suit with Qin Hai for a while, and see which unit this gentleman belongs to, and whether he can pull him over to partner with him. Now that he has made up his mind to recruit the other party into his team, he will naturally not begrudge some benefits.

Qin Hai looked at the big unity in front of him, waved his hands and said, "I don't need it. You put in so many materials, and you can't really earn much money. I just help out casually, and it's not worth the money. However, Ning Mo, you should thank Master Zhang even more. Strictly speaking, you are competitors, but Master Zhang not only provided you with the stove, but also helped you with the work yourself. You used so much coal from Master Zhang Huo, you have to think about it, don't you?"

"No, no, no, no." Zhang Laosan hurriedly shook his head when he heard Qin Hai's words. To be honest, at first he really didn't want to help Ning Mo and the others, because Ning Mo and the others were actually stealing his business by selling farm tools. But later, he learned such a good quenching technique from Qin Hai, it was nothing to compete with Ning Mo and the others. Speaking of which, he should also thank Ning Mo and the others.

"Old Zhang, Qin Hai is right. We used your coal fire, so we should thank you. However, our brothers don't earn much, so the three yuan should be treated as a treat for you, Old Zhang." Ning Mo treated Zhang The third child was not as generous as he was to Qin Hai. He took out a two-yuan bill and a one-yuan bill, and handed them to Zhang Laosan, which was regarded as paying for the coal fire.
