If you are asked to take charge of the specialty class, how can you become a top student?

Chapter 346: Facing the Wall and Thinking
In the blacksmith shop, Yan Mao asked curious questions at first.

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

Master Li naturally showed Yan Mao what he had typed, and lifted a wooden box off the cabinet. As soon as he opened it, he found that there were several kitchen knives and a hatchet inside, and they were all used. Wrapped in newspapers.

"These are what I typed out before. The fellow villagers asked me to make them specially for them, but I am busy at the moment, so I haven't come to pick them up yet."

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

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

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

And as soon as he got the knife, Yan Mao felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, very vague.

However, Yan Mao himself didn't take it seriously and just regarded it as his own illusion.

"Master Li, do you pay attention to any aesthetics when making a knife?"

Master Li was stunned: "Ah? What is aesthetics?"

"Then what are the stress points and the like?"

"What are the stress points?" Master Li waved his hand with a wry smile: "Those are things made by educated people. How can we blacksmiths know these things! My craftsmanship was passed down to me by my father. , he taught me how to mix the material, how to punch it so that it won’t be brittle, how to punch the knife so that it’s comfortable when lying down, and how to save energy when cutting, these are the things he taught me!”

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

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

What about aesthetics, stress points, design studies, etc. are all summarized.

So where does this summary come from?

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

Naturally, they don't understand these so-called forces and aesthetics. Their craftsmanship is the best interpretation of these things.

Yan Mao suddenly had his own direction.

"Master Li, can you tell me the entire process of making a knife?"

"If you want to hear it, I'll tell you naturally. It's not a secret anyway!" Master Li didn't care, and started to follow Yan Mao about the blacksmithing process, and his blacksmithing method is similar to his father's blacksmithing method. It's really different, and the way of blacksmithing is also different from that of my grandparents. After all, the channels for obtaining raw materials are different.

"My grandparents, that was back in the day. At that time, the place was remote and we couldn't find materials. We either went to the river to find soil and stones, or we went up to the mountains to dig. At that time, we all practiced by ourselves..."

"It was different when it came to my father's generation. There were materials, and the way of blacksmithing was different..."

Yan Mao listened carefully.

This conversation lasted for almost an hour. Master Li explained the entire blacksmithing process as clearly as possible. Looking at Yan Mao's serious attitude, Master Li felt that I feel more comfortable inside.

If someone is willing to listen, he is also willing to speak.

Naturally, Yan Mao couldn't sit still when he talked about it later.

"Master Li, can you teach me how to blacksmith? I want to try it myself. What does blacksmithing feel like?"

"No, no! Oh, we can't let you mess around with this thing. You are still a child! If nothing else, you may not even be able to turn a hammer..."

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

"Yes, that one requires a lot of strength. If you accidentally slip your waist, I can't bear the responsibility!"

"I think it shouldn't be a problem!" Yan Mao walked over, picked up the hammer with one hand, and blinked: "Huh? It doesn't seem to weigh much! I feel like I can swing it with one hand. .”

"Child, that is an illusion..."

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

"How about this? I'll give you a knife first and you just watch from the side?"

"also!"

Master Li naturally didn't dare to let his children act recklessly, so he simply demonstrated it himself to satisfy Yan Mao's craving.

……

Before I knew it, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon.

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

Well, I can only make fish soup.After all, this fish is still a bit too small.

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

"No! Lao Chen, I must catch this guy!"

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

Just because half an hour ago, Chen Chu caught a crab for Deng Sijia to play with, but accidentally, the crab slipped into the hole.

Make Deng Sijia angry!

He grabbed the stick and got into a fight with the crab.

Chen Chu couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.

It was almost past five o'clock when he returned to the village. Naturally, Chen Chu asked a fellow villager for some sauerkraut, and then he took Deng Sijia back to the blacksmith shop.

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

Master Li was not seen at all. On the contrary, Yan Mao had already put on his gloves and pockets. He held the red-hot iron with pliers in one hand and kept hammering on it with a hammer in the other. When he saw Chen Chu and Deng Sijia subconsciously grinned.

"Why did you take advantage of it yourself?" Chen Chu glared at him: "Where is Master Li?"

"Two hours ago, a fellow villager called and said that his wife fell again. He hurriedly rode his electric bike home. He asked me to help look at the store!" Yan Mao chuckled: "That's not right. Are your hands itchy? Just try it yourself!"

"Don't tell me, this outfit fits you perfectly!"

"..."

Chen Chu's face darkened, he pointed at Yan Mao and said, "What did I tell you before I came?"

Seeing Chen Chu's expression downcast, Yan Mao was startled. He quickly put everything back and stood there honestly: "Old Chen, aren't I bored just sitting here?"

"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 suddenly too frightened to speak.

Naturally, Deng Sijia had no intention of helping. If she dared to talk too much at this time, she would definitely have to be taught a lesson by Chen Chu.

"These are the basic principles of life. No one is big or small in front of me on weekdays. That's because I let you and don't care about you. But how do you know that others are just like me?" Chen Chu said angrily. Pointing to Yijiao, he said: "Go, face the wall and think about the past!"

"oh oh……"

Yan Mao lowered his head and turned towards the corner.

"Take off their clothes first!"

Yan Mao shrank his neck, quickly hung his pocket on the wall, ran to the corner and stood in the corner dejectedly.

"Really, listen carefully when I teach you how to behave!" Chen Chu curled his lips: "How come one or two of you are not sensible?"

While speaking, Chen Chu glanced at Deng Sijia subconsciously.

Deng Sijia quickly showed a smile, put her hands on her head and made a heart sign: "Old Chen, I am sensible and obedient!"

"Well, you're good."

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

Master Li just arrived at the shop on his electric bicycle. When he saw Chen Chu and Deng Sijia were there, he said with an apologetic face: "I'm sorry, Xiao Chen, my wife suddenly fell on the road and accidentally hit her. Now that she has lost her mind, I will send her to the clinic in town for a check-up. I am 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 scared me a lot!" Master Li said quickly: "You haven't eaten yet? You've worked hard to look after the store, why don't you just make do with it here? I’ll cook for you right now! Look, these two children are hungry, I’m so sorry!”

"No, Master Li, you have worked hard enough!" Chen Chu said hurriedly: "Sit down and rest for a while, I will cook the food! I have already bought the food, not to mention that this child has also received a lot of care from you! "

After all, there is a small kitchen at the back of the store. Although it is a bit simple, it has everything it needs.

After some hard talking, Master Li was told to be polite and let him sit down and rest for a while.

Chen Chu smoothed back his sleeves and started working.

"Back to Guests"
