Start with a blacksmith shop

The double-row car carried the three of them toward Yuanmi's specialty store. Li Zhenhua drove steadily.

The three of them bought equipment that Guo Shugui thought was suitable in the Yuanmi store.

By this time, all the things that need to be purchased have been purchased, and the preliminary work is completed.

At noon, the three of them found a local donkey meat restaurant in the county town and had something to eat.

As the saying goes, dragon meat is in the sky and donkey meat is on the ground. Dragon meat refers to flying dragons. This is now a protected animal, but donkey meat on the ground can still be eaten by people.

There are a total of sixteen places in the country that are famous for making donkey meat, and their county is one of them.

Moreover, here is Dong'a, a water city. Over there, donkey skins are needed to make glue, and here in the county, donkey meat is needed for food. Anyway, nothing on the donkeys is wasted.

Li Zhenhua was also very happy to eat this meal. He had stayed in Hujiang for such a long time, and he didn't think about anything else but the meat from his hometown.

Guo Shugui, a boy from out of town, was also conquered by the donkey meat this time. He had always thought that the donkey meat in Hejian was delicious when grilled, but this time, the donkey meat from Hejian was as good as the donkey meat from Hejian.

After the three of them had eaten and drank enough, Li Zhenhua continued to drive forward, while Guo Shugui took out the equipment he had just bought and started playing with it.

Liu Xiaodong, who was sitting in the back, leaned back in his chair, squinted his eyes and fell asleep after a while.

Liu Xiaodong didn't wake up until the car drove back to the door of the blacksmith shop.

Especially when walking through town, the swaying made Liu Xiaodong sleep more soundly.

The three people moved the purchased items to the lobby of the sales department on the first floor.

Abandoning the two of them, Li Zhenhua came to the small supermarket with a hundred yuan, gave the car key to the supermarket proprietress, and after several refusals, she paid for the car he had prepared.

Favor debts are easy to owe but difficult to repay. Sometimes it is better to owe less.

When Li Zhenhua came back, nothing else was moved. He only asked Liu Xiaodong to carry a large plastic bucket into the warehouse with him, and locked the door.

This vat is full of hydrochloric acid. If something happens, no one can afford it.

After properly placing the dangerous hydrochloric acid, Li Zhenhua took the two of them to move the remaining items and put them in place one by one.

By the time the three of them packed up their things, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Zhenhua originally wanted to let the two of them take a rest, but for the other two, the next thing was what they were interested in.

Li Zhenhua could only respect them, and then took the two of them to the backyard to start blacksmithing.

If Li Zhenhua wants to create a Damascus pattern, he must forge two different steels together.

I moved the cutting machine out from the warehouse. This one is not the hand-held one like the angle grinder, but the one with a seat.

Replace with a cutting blade specially designed for cutting steel and adjust the cutting size.

The job of cutting two types of stainless steel bars was left to Liu Xiaodong.

He has also been playing in the blacksmith shop since he was a child. He still knows some processes and can use the tools.

Guo Shugui also took handheld shooting equipment and started taking pictures in the yard.

Sometimes he was pounding the stove, sometimes he was pounding the air hammer, and he didn't even let go of the long bench with the grindstone.

He also told Li Zhenhua that this grinding stone can be said to be the testimony of this blacksmith shop.

'squeak'

The harsh sound of cutting metal came, and Li Zhenhua had already started the stove.

Next to Liu Xiaodong, bring some of the two types of cut steel bars and place them on the anvil.

After that, I saw Li Zhenhua arranging two kinds of stainless steel, one piece 410 and one piece 420, just 30 centimeters thick.

Then Li Zhenhua turned on the cold welding machine next to him and welded many stainless steel pieces together.

Then put the welded stainless steel into the furnace for calcination.

Taking advantage of this moment, Li Zhenhua came to the air hammer, adjusted the air hammer to the highest level, and adjusted the downward force to the best according to the data given by the analytical eye.

The three people were doing their own work, and everything was moving forward in an orderly manner.

The stainless steel gradually burns red in the furnace, reaching the point where it can be forged.

Li Zhenhua took the iron clamps and took the raw materials out of the furnace and put them on the forging hammer table.

Li Zhenhua stepped on the foot switch of the forging hammer, and the air forging hammer fell hard, hitting the stainless steel with a 'dang' sound.

Accompanied by the sound of "dang-dang-dang-dang", the stainless steel gradually changed its shape according to Li Zhenhua's needs.

Later, the size of the stainless steel gradually exceeded Li Zhenhua's expectations, because he cut too much material, and the 30-centimeter-thick steel bar had to be pressed into a 4-mm-thick steel bar.

Just the length of such a large piece of stainless steel, you can imagine how long it will be.

Li Zhenhua could only change his strategy and press it little by little. After pressing the front material, cut it off and press the remaining material.

After pressing this piece of material, Li Zhenhua gradually became familiar with it. Just use as much material as you need.

The stainless steel that was shaped into steel strips by Li Zhenhua was cut into pieces again and welded into a stainless steel cuboid.

The stainless steel was put into the furnace to burn again, and then the previous operation was repeated.

The stainless steel produced this time weighs one kilogram in total.

Each knives is limited to 80 grams. After removing the leftovers, you can make ten table knives.

After the stainless steel was forged several times, Li Zhenhua felt that it was ready for the next step.

Then, with the help of the analytical eye, the prepared materials were divided into ten equal parts.

Li Zhenhua threw one of the raw materials into the furnace for calcination, and then there was no need for the big forging hammer.

Just use a hammer and smash it by hand. Of course, the blacksmith's assistant will be online at this time, that is, the person who wields the sledgehammer.

"Fat man, stop cutting now, come here and use the sledgehammer."

Li Zhenhua shouted loudly to Liu Xiaodong, who was still cutting raw materials, "It's not enough if you don't shout loudly. There was so much noise in the yard at the moment that you couldn't hear it even if the sound was quiet."

"Okay, you go and have a drink of water first. I'll be back after I finish cutting this one."

Liu Xiaodong wore goggles and without raising his head, he continued what he was doing and shouted behind him.

Li Zhenhua didn't say anything about starting immediately. He walked to the table nearby, picked up the cold warm water, and poured it into his stomach.

Guo Shugui was faithfully recording all the details.

In his eyes, these photographed things are the best material.

Just add some post-production, cut them out, and it's a promotional video.

After Li Zhenhua finished drinking the salted water, Liu Xiaodong wiped the sweat from his head and came over to take a sip.

After the two of them adjusted their condition, they walked towards the blacksmith furnace.

Liu Xiaodong walked straight to the anvil and grabbed a large hammer lying next to it.

Li Zhenhua used a tong to take out the burning raw material.

This time it was different from the watermelon knife he made before. That time he just used ready-made materials to roughly shape it.

But this time, a piece of raw material was transformed from a shape of nothing into a knife-like shape.

It can be said that this time is a normal blacksmithing process.

Li Zhenhua held a small hammer, and Liu Xiaodong held a large hammer. The material began to deform under their hands with a clanking sound.
