The ironware I made shines

Chapter 18 Horse Racing
Ge Xiaohua chatted with Lou Feng and Zhang Li in the room, visited the blacksmith shop, and saw that the work he used was very traditional, or crude.

"Xiaohua, you don't even have an electric sander? You don't even have an electrical appliance in the studio?" Lou Feng was very surprised. In his opinion, even in a blacksmith's shop, most of the work should be replaced by machines. It is done by manpower, and the time and energy consumed can be imagined.

Ge Xiaohua stretched out his rough hands, which were covered with cocoons and blood blisters. They didn't look like a young man in the new century. Most of the hands of a pampered young man should be very white, but Ge Xiaohua's hands looked like they were 40 years old.

"Boss Lou, I'm not afraid of your jokes. My blacksmithing skills are much worse than those of my father and grandfather. I learned them secretly when I was a child. They didn't want to pass on the skills to me, so I studied hard and got into a good university. , I took a job as a mechanical engineer that others looked very good. After working in Guangdong City for several years, I went to my hometown to strike iron on impulse. Grandpa told my dad when I was a child, and I still remember it.”

Ge Xiaohua's words made Lou Feng give a thumbs up unconsciously, and said: "Your grandfather is teaching your father the principles of life. You can remember that it is useful for you to forge iron or to be a man. Your grandfather is a man worthy of respect." old craftsman."

At this age, Lou Feng naturally understands the principles of life, and knows the true meaning of the old man's words.

After visiting the blacksmith shop, Lou Feng mentioned that the Beishan Racecourse will participate in an international horse race recently. Although the prize money is not very high, it is still very important. It is very important for the Beishan Racecourse to become famous. Lou Feng has been preparing for this event recently. Things, I am extremely confident in the horses I raise.

Ge Xiaohua had an idea in his heart, he didn't say it clearly, but said: "Boss Lou, Boss Zhang, you can come here today to give Ge Xiaohua face, and it's already noon, it seems that you haven't eaten, I personally Let the two bosses have a taste of Tujia cuisine."

"Xiaohua, can you still cook? Not bad."

"The cooking skills are average, please boss Lou don't make fun of me."

"Where, where, it's because we're embarrassed, and we took you for a meal."

Ge Xiaohua went to the vegetable field to pick the vegetables he grew, and bought some local pork and pork ribs with his relatives in the village. After preparing the ingredients, he took out his green light wok and white light kitchen knife, planning to show his skills. With the blessing of two shiny kitchen utensils, Ge Xiaohua's original cooking skills will be further improved.

"Open!" Ge Xiaohua yelled, causing Lou Feng and Zhang Li to enter the kitchen to watch. From their perspective, Ge Xiaohua's knife skills were extremely exquisite, and it seemed that he had two brushes.

"Isn't Xiao Hua a mechanical engineer? Did he ever learn to be a chef?"

"I don't know, it should be self-taught."

Lou Feng and Zhang Li commented at the door, and under Ge Xiaohua's senses, the kitchen knife emitted a hot white light, which was transmitted from the blade to the handle, and Ge Xiaohua's right hand could feel it.

"The light special effect is on!" Gradually getting familiar with the white light kitchen knife, Ge Xiaohua began to develop the passive activation attribute into an active one. This is also related to Ge Xiaohua's current ability to control the mind, which can improve his concentration and activate the light special effect .

After the vegetables are cut, the ingredients that have been blessed with the attribute of a white light kitchen knife are cooked in a green light wok, and the delicacy can be imagined.

For about an hour, a variety of delicacies were placed on the table, such as braised pork, stewed radish with pork ribs, hot and sour Chinese cabbage, shredded potatoes with vinegar, and fish head with chopped peppers.

"There are no dishes, you can do whatever you want." Ge Xiaohua said politely, but Lou Feng and Zhang Li were stunned. Lou Feng pointed to the fish head with chopped peppers and said, "Xiaohua, do you know Hunan cuisine?"

"I learned from the recipes on the Internet. I'm not a professional master of Hunan cuisine. Don't be offended by Mr. Lou."

The fish head was given by Ge Xiaohua's relatives when he was buying meat, and it is a relatively good fish head of fat head fish. It is perfect for making fish head with chopped peppers. Considering that Lou Feng is from southern Hunan, he specially made this dish The chopped pepper fish head, and the braised pork is also simplified according to the practice of Mao's braised pork on the Internet.

"This braised pork dish is also from Hunan cuisine. Yes, Xiaohua has a heart." As a guest, Lou Feng moved his chopsticks first, and tasted the braised pork and fish head with chopped peppers.

The great impact on the taste buds made Lou Feng speechless, he paused for a few seconds, and then commented: "It's delicious! Xiaohua, I haven't eaten Hunan cuisine in these years, today is the first time I open meat .”

Zhang Li explained: "President Lou, he pays more attention to health preservation. He usually eats lettuce, which is low in salt, oil, and non-spicy."

"That was my negligence, Mr. Lou, you drink pork rib soup." Ge Xiaohua served Lou Feng a bowl, and said apologetically. I didn't expect the rich people to start to take an unusual path, but I can understand it. Rich people tend to cherish their lives.

"It's okay, it's good to eat once in a while, and I'm attracted by your chopped pepper fish head, let's eat meat and meat!" Lou Feng smiled, and there is a reason to eat strong flavors. For people in southern Hunan, if you don't give him chili, It was still very painful, and it was extremely rare for Lou Feng to endure it for so many years.

The three chatted while eating, just having a drink. Because Lou Feng had to drive, he substituted tea for wine.

After eating almost, Ge Xiaohua mentioned what Lou Feng had said about the horse race.

"Mr. Lou, you mentioned earlier that there is a relatively important international horse racing competition. Beishan Racecourse will send representatives to the competition?"

"Yes, Beishan Racecourse is an emerging racecourse. It is not well-known in the country. If you want to create a reputation, you must participate. In this competition, my goal is to be in the top ten."

Ge Xiaohua didn't know the name of the horse race, but since Lou Feng was determined to win, he invested more money, so Ge ​​Xiaohua's white horseshoe would definitely be able to sell.

"Mr. Lou, are the horses you sent this time nailed my horseshoe?"

"Of course it is."

"It's like this. In addition to the horseshoes I provided last time, I also created a set of horseshoes specially suitable for racing horses. They are better than ordinary ones and can further increase the speed of racing horses."

"Really?" Mr. Lou's eyes lit up. He didn't expect Ge Xiaohua to save a hand. According to the riders, the horseshoes delivered last time can improve the speed to a certain extent, and now there are still better quality horseshoes. Mr. Lou will naturally win the horseshoe, because there is no room for loss in the game.

"Mr. Lou, we are not outsiders. How could I lie to you? This set of horseshoes is made by ancient methods. It has been refined for three days and three nights and knocked 9899 times without even one hammer." Ge Xiaohua began to brag that it was not easy to build. The subtext is that this set of horseshoes is not easy to get, and the price will be much higher.

Who is Lou Feng? He has been in shopping malls for more than 30 years and has never seen anything in the world. He understood Ge Xiaohua's meaning as soon as he heard it.
