The ironware I made shines

Chapter 48 Rusty Sword
All things have aura, and human beings think they are the smartest, but many inventions are imitated by other animals, so a subject of "bionics" was born.

When Ge Xiaohua came into contact with the Quarter Horse Meteor and the Golden Retriever Golden Wheel, he found that they are very smart, and their intelligence will exceed your expectations. Therefore, in Ge Xiaohua's view, any animal is spiritual, but have you noticed? That's all.

Back at the blacksmith shop, Ge Xiaohua appeased Jinlun and Meteor, cleaned the yard, drove back to the Xunjiang county government complex, put 15 kilograms of fresh jujubes at home, and left a message explaining the situation, so that his mother Soak the endless jujubes in white wine, and drink a little every day. It has a miraculous effect on her rheumatism. With ointment, it should heal faster.

Ge Xiaohua just kept five catties for himself to eat, and most of them were eaten by his parents, which represented his own heart, because although crutches are worthless, they are hard to find.

"Selling swords, selling swords, antique swords!" Ge Xiaohua stepped off the government horse head, and there is a vegetable market below, planning to buy some vegetable seeds and take them back to grow vegetables, but saw someone shouting for selling swords, so he surrounded him out of curiosity , is a 50-year-old, seemingly honest, but his eyes exude a sly light, staring at Ge Xiaohua, it seems that there is a kind of slaughter of fat sheep
At the moment, in front of him is a rusty iron sword mixed with soil. It is not clear what the shape of the sword is, but one thing is certain, this sword was dug out of the ground.

"Little brother, you have a good eye. This sword is an iron sword from the Spring and Autumn Period. It is beautifully shaped and is a noble sword."

"The Spring and Autumn Period? Wasn't that era dominated by bronze swords?"

"In addition to the bronze sword, the iron sword has also been forged, but the forging process is extremely complicated, and only a few people use it, so this sword is extremely precious."

"Oh?"

Ge Xiaohua said thoughtfully, with an expression of sudden realization, but he actually had a different view on this sword.

"How much do you sell this sword for?" Ge Xiaohua just asked, but the corner of the other party's mouth twitched, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, pretending to be embarrassed and said: "I finally received this sword, 1 yuan is my bottom line .”

"Ten thousand?" Ge Xiaohua turned around and wanted to leave, but the other party didn't expect that he didn't even bargain and left directly.

"Little brother, the price is easy to negotiate." Ge Xiaohua saw the other party chasing him, so he could conclude that this sword was definitely not an iron sword from the Spring and Autumn Period, nor was it a so-called antique.

"Then how much is it now?"

"If you are sincere, I will give you a [-]% discount, five thousand!"

"Don't go, why don't you return the price?"

Ge Xiaohua turned around and left again, because he felt that it didn't matter whether he bought it or not. It was too high, and it didn't meet Ge Xiaohua's psychological price at all. A tattered sword, 5000 yuan?It's only bought by a ghost, and it's not an antique. If it's a real iron sword from the Spring and Autumn Period, it's a national treasure. How dare he sell it?It is a felony to sell national treasures without permission. Even if he gets it on the black market, he can eat it for a lifetime, why bother to show off?

Knowing that it is fake, Ge Xiaohua will come to ask, just because he is making long swords recently, he is interested in any sword, even a fake sword has its appreciation value, because if you want to make old and fake ones, you must at least learn to imitate them , then what he imitated may be the first iron sword in the Spring and Autumn Period, and a little shadow can be seen, which can be used as a reference for Ge Xiaohua to build a long sword.

"Return price? Then I will return one, 100 yuan."

"what?"

"Didn't you ask me to return the price? This sword is tattered and rusty. It looks like a counterfeit. Did you splash some sulfuric acid to make it old?"

"Eh..." Ge Xiaohua heard that this person's accent is not from a local, so he is not afraid that this kid will jump over the wall in a hurry. He is probably a liar who shoots one shot for another. After a whole day without even selling a single sword, some unwilling liars whispered: "Little brother, since you know all about it, Ming people don't slander, everyone has just made a living. 100 yuan, you said it yourself, pay with one hand and deliver with the other.”

Ge Xiaohua originally thought that the other party would leave in disgrace, but he didn't expect to be so thick-skinned. He wanted to make some money after being exposed. Is 100 yuan the cost?
"Okay, I'm going to open the business for you, don't lie to people in Xunjiang County in the future, be careful and I will report you."

"I'll leave right away." Ge Xiaohua gave him a hundred, took the rusty sword and wrapped the blade with newspaper, and went to the seed market, ignoring the liar.

The so-called clumsy tricks, but the number of fools is not worth it. If you are lucky, you can really cheat one. A garbage sword for 1 yuan is enough for him to eat for a year.

This kind of liar will not stop deceiving people, but will choose a different place. He must not dare to come to Xunjiang County because he was warned by Ge Xiaohua.

After driving back to the blacksmith shop, Ge Xiaohua saw the rusty sword in the co-pilot's seat, and decided to refurbish the sword out of curiosity.

I used a special rust removal liquid, soaked the long sword, waited for a while, wiped the sword body, and removed all the rust. After cleaning it, I used a sander to polish it, and the renovation was over.

During the refurbishment process, Ge Xiaohua measured the data of the sword.

This sword is 38.4 cm long, 2 cm wide, 0.7 cm thick at the spine, and 7 cm long at the hilt.

"This sword should be an imitation of the iron sword unearthed in Yangjiashan. As the earliest iron sword discovered in China, this sword is very meaningful. It has been repeatedly forged for about 9 layers and contains 0.5% medium carbon steel. It is extremely difficult in which era." Ge Xiaohua After checking the information, comparing the shape and size of this sword, and what the liar said, it can be concluded that it is an imitation of the iron sword unearthed in southern Hunan in the late Spring and Autumn Period.

The refurbished iron sword, although it is a copycat, unexpectedly has the shadow of an ancient iron sword, and it is extremely sharp. After grinding, it can still be used to bluff people.

"That's right, 100 yuan is worth buying, and it has taught me how to make iron swords in the late Spring and Autumn Period." Ge Xiaohua put what he had learned into practice, and put away the refurbished iron sword, planning to use the iron sword from the Spring and Autumn Period as a basis tomorrow. , to create an original iron sword, I hope to gain something, the 100 yuan is still very worthwhile, you can feel the strength and technology of ancient sage craftsmen in the late Spring and Autumn Period.

At this moment, Ge Xiaohua's cell phone rang. It was a call from his mother. He probably saw a pile of jujubes on the table.

"Mom, why did you come home so early today?"

"Come back and get something, Xiaohua, did you buy the crutches on the table?"

"I didn't buy it. I picked it from Shiwan Dashan. Dr. Liang said it's good for your rheumatism."

Shen Cui'e was a little touched when she heard this, but as a teacher, she was able to suppress her feelings, and then said: "The ointments you gave me last time worked very well. Recently, when I was correcting homework, my old waist didn't hurt anymore. .”

"That's good. I will continue to ask Dr. Liang to prepare some ointments for you. Mom, you can use these dates to make wine. Eat some fresh ones. Other wines will work well."

"I get it, Xiao Hua, don't work too hard, blacksmithing is hard work, and you have been weak in Qi and blood since you were a child."

"Mom, I'm grown up now. I'm not as weak as I was when I was a child. Don't worry." Ge Xiaohua was weak since childhood, which is why Shen Cui'e didn't let Ge Xiaohua work as a blacksmith. She was afraid that his body would not be able to bear it. easy.
