The ironware I made shines

Chapter 45
He has created a dagger that can be sold. Although it is ordinary, it is of high value. However, because he wants to mine, the time will definitely be very tight. He intends to stop the cooperation with the hardware store, mainly due to lack of energy. Every time I have to build a lot of agricultural tools to supply hardware stores, I will be very anxious about the time. The quality of the agricultural tools produced in batches cannot be guaranteed, and there is no private customization.

Coupled with the production of air hammers and molds, the iron farm tools made by Ge Xiaohua tend to be mechanized. However, if the quality cannot be guaranteed, the price is still the same.

If things go on like this, the reputation of Ge's blacksmith shop will be affected. Ge Xiaohua will not destroy the signboard in order to earn that little money, so he called the owner of the hardware store and explained the situation. It will be said that there is a shortage of manpower. Ge Xiaohua is the only one in the huge blacksmith shop, and he has to provide dozens of various iron tools, iron pots, etc. every month. Ge Xiaohua must ensure the quality and quantity. In this time period, Ge Xiaohua still can't take care of both, not to mention giving a little to the hardware store. He thinks it is unnecessary, so he temporarily stopped the cooperation, and waited for time to talk about it. Word of mouth has spread, and there is no need for Ge Xiaohua to sell it like this. The most important thing is Ge Xiaohua has now made new progress in building weapons and equipment. He can create daggers, long swords and other iron objects with a larger audience and higher value. A small dagger can be worth more than ten ordinary hoes, so the weapon On the one hand, the level of forging has improved. Besides, if someone comes to customize farm tools, Ge Xiaohua will still do it, and it is a word-of-mouth business, and the quality will be guaranteed.

After Ge Xiaohua finished the cooperation with the hardware store, he immediately relaxed a lot. There is no other list of ironware, so he can concentrate more on making daggers.

"The blade of this one can be made with some curvature." Ge Xiaohua began to build the second dagger, and he would make some changes every time he built it, hoping to improve it. The second dagger will be released soon. Relatively speaking, The blade of this dagger is curved, similar to a scimitar, the sharpness is further improved, and the decoration is more exquisite. The wood used for the handle is relatively better, and it is carved in the shape of a wolf's head.

"Well, it's not bad. Although it hasn't come out yet, this dagger is obviously more valuable than the first one." After Ge Xiaohua finished punching the dagger, he turned to make a long knife. Today he will practice the method of making a long knife. Ge Xiaohua has mastered the dagger, but he hasn't crafted a knife yet.

It took a whole day, and in the afternoon, Ge Xiaohua managed to forge a qualified long knife. It can be regarded as having mastered the method of making a long knife. Ge Xiaohua, who has been in the stage of exploration, needs good skills even if he has good materials. Ah, there are still many tricks in making weapons, and you need to learn slowly.

"Is anyone there?" Ge Xiaohua was thinking about what kind of weapon to use today, when someone called the door.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, is Master Ge Xiaohua here? I'm here to buy a knife."

"Buy a knife?"

Ge Xiaohua was a little strange. When he opened the iron door, he saw a middle-aged man in his 40s with bald hair, but he was in good spirits. He was lean and explosive. He should like to exercise often.

"That's right. I'm a martial arts enthusiast and I usually like to dance with knives, so I would like to ask if there are any for sale here?"

"Long knife? What do you think of this one?" Ge Xiaohua just created a long knife that he thought was qualified yesterday. Of course, there were many failures, and all of them were still in the scrap pile.

"This long knife is very exquisite, and it's very comfortable to hold." The middle-aged man took the long knife and danced with his hand. It seemed that he still had a few tricks. As a martial arts enthusiast, it was enough.

"How about the price?" The middle-aged man seemed very satisfied, Ge Xiaohua thought for a while and said, "Five thousand."

"Five thousand? It's too expensive, I'll think about it." For ordinary people, selling a knife for five thousand is really unacceptable for a while, and Ge Xiaohua doesn't care, because he spent a day and failed ten times. The representative only made one, and the materials, time, and energy consumed must be counted. Therefore, five thousand is Ge Xiaohua's estimate of the value of this long knife. Although it has no light, the workmanship is still worthy of guarantee, especially in today's In the case of generally high prices for works, [-] is still reasonable. You must know that most of the things on the market are produced by factories, mechanized things, unified specifications and models, and have no personality at all. This long knife can be said to be It is unique in the world. Every time Ge Xiaohua makes it, he will deliberately distinguish it from the previous ones, and it has its originality in it.

Rather than this long knife being just a weapon, it might as well be a work of art.

He said it was too expensive, but the middle-aged man still did not put down the long knife, and kept holding it, admiring the long knife carefully.

"Master Ge, what is the name of this long knife? What is its name?"

Ge Xiaohua knew that the other party was interested, otherwise he wouldn't have asked so many questions. As the first long knife to be forged, he was naturally particular about it.

"The Dust Dust Knife is the first long knife I forged. After 10 failures, my ingenuity has been poured into every hammer. It is purely handcrafted. It is a high-quality long knife produced by Ge's blacksmith shop. "Ge Xiaohua pointed to the discarded long knives piled up next to him and said, although these long knives did not meet Ge Xiaohua's requirements, they were much better in quality than other long knives.

"These are all unnecessary? They look pretty good, and they can be used with a wooden handle. Are these for sale?" Apparently the middle-aged man is more interested in these discarded long knives, Ge Xiaohua shook his head and said: "These It’s not for sale, and I won’t sell it.”

"Can you sell it for two thousand?"

"I won't sell it for ten thousand."

"why?"

"Gur's Blacksmiths will not allow inferior ironware to enter the market."

Ge Xiaohua's words were very favorable, and he ignored the middle-aged man and threw these discarded long knives into the furnace.

"Master Ge, I want this dust-breaking knife." The middle-aged man saw Ge Xiaohua's unwavering movements and knew that he was a principled craftsman. He did not expect such a young man to have such superb blacksmithing skills. An ancestral blacksmith shop that has lasted for hundreds of years.

To him, 5000 yuan is actually not a lot of money. It is still worth it. It is just a question of whether it is worth it. After all, a long knife on the market can cost several hundred yuan at most, and it can cost several thousand yuan in a blacksmith's shop. Time still can't accept it, but seeing Ge Xiaohua's behavior of destroying the failed product, I know that this long knife is indeed one in a million. With such a low success rate, can it be not expensive?
And looking at the exquisite workmanship of these failed ones, in comparison, the quality of the knives that can be sold can be imagined.

"Okay, you put it away, this scabbard is a free gift." Ge Xiaohua made another scabbard and a gift box, packed it and handed it to the middle-aged man, and the order was considered complete.

"Thank you." The middle-aged man drove away contentedly. He was driving a Volkswagen. It seemed that he should be a civil servant or something, and he had more time to do things he was interested in.
