The ironware I made shines

Chapter 57
After a busy day, the 2 mu of land was plowed, and Ge Xiaohua and Meteor were covered in mud, looking a little embarrassed. The former racehorse has become a farm cattle. If Lou Hua from the Beishan Racecourse knew about it, he would probably die of anger. The racecourse treats everyone The racehorses are carefully cared for, they have sap every day, and the fodder they eat is also carefully selected, and each of them embodies the painstaking efforts of the horse breeders.

It can be said that the horses at Beishan Racecourse are a more comfortable place than humans, but when Meteor came to Gejia Village, they were reduced to animal power. Compared with the previous ones in the sky and the ground, Meteor did not complain. It is no longer a lazy racehorse, but a famous horse with comprehensive abilities.

Back at the blacksmith shop, Ge Xiaohua first cleaned the back of the hero Meteor's horse. After the sludge was removed, Meteor's fur became brighter. It is said that the mud can beautify the skin, and it seems that it has a certain effect on the horse.

After cleaning the meteor, and adding grass fodder and water, Ge Xiaohua went to take a bath and eat by himself.

The next day, because the matter of plowing the fields was resolved, it would take some time for transplanting rice seedlings, so there was no rush. After a few days of leisure, Ge Xiaohua revived his efforts and started to light the fire early. It is crafted by melting down the discarded refined iron.

"No light." The first big hammer Ge Xiaohua built didn't have a systematic prompt, and after using it himself, it wasn't as good as the old one, so he threw it in and melted it, and continued to build it. I didn't make a qualified hammer, let alone a polished iron.

"Am I asking too much?" Ge Xiaohua has a lot of requirements for the hammer, such as weight, power, handiness, shape and so on. All kinds of considerations together make Ge Xiaohua forge hands-free, which also leads to a piece of precision hammer. The iron melted away several times in a row, which made Ge Xiaohua feel embarrassed, and directly gave up this piece of fine iron, and tried another piece next time. It was too "cruel" to trample on a piece of iron.

At noon, Ge Xiaohua untied his leather apron, walked out of the forging studio, and saw a group of people outside the door. The villagers gathered around the door as if they were watching a big show, led by the village party secretary Ge Fanming, and standing beside them were two white men and women , Everyone wanted to watch monkeys pointing at foreigners. If it weren't for the old village chief, the third grandfather, to maintain order, it might have been more chaotic.

"Xiaohua, Xiaohua!" The village party secretary, Ge Xiaohua's seventh uncle, shouted at the door.

Ge Xiaohua was not in a hurry to open the gate, because a group of people standing outside was very intimidating. Even Jinlun was so frightened that he hid behind Ge Xiaohua. It was not Jinlun who was worried, but the whole village. Two or three hundred people were standing at your gate , even if a person says a word, the sound produced can suppress Jinlun's barking, it would be stupid not to hide.

"whats the matter?"

"It's Xiaohua like this. These two are reporters from the United States. They plan to interview you, and the leaders of the province personally called the county and said, and issued orders at every level, let us receive foreign friends well, so..."

"Interview? What do I have to interview, Uncle Qi, are you making a mistake?"

"That's right, I've made sure, you let the two reporters come in first and then we can talk."

Ge Xiaohua was a little hesitant, and glanced at the 200 folks standing outside, blocking the door. If he opened the door, a group of people might not even have a place to stand if he opened the door.

The third grandpa seemed to understand Ge Xiaohua's concerns, so he said, "Everyone go, all go, what are you doing blocking Xiaohua's door, everyone is an elder, don't be ashamed, have you never seen a foreigner? What's so interesting."

"Let's go, let's go." The older villagers of Ge's Village were not too embarrassed to see each other for a long time, and they all went back together. Afterwards, Ge Xiaohua opened the iron gate, and Uncle Qi accompanied him all the way, and the third grandfather also stayed aside.

Ge Xiaohua knew that the two of them were afraid that they would offend foreign friends by their rude words, and their superiors had explained that they were the leaders of the village anyway, so they still had to bear the responsibility. He was also a little curious why the American reporter interviewed Ge Xiaohua?
"Thunder Monkey, my name is Qiao Na, he is John, we..." Qiao Na said in Cantonese, which is not very fluent, with a foreign accent but understandable, Ge Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, and then responded that the other party said It must be Cantonese, and replied in standard Cantonese: "Ma'am, your Cantonese level is not bad, I can understand it, but speak slowly, don't worry."

"Thank you. I often travel in Hong Kong, so Cantonese is a little better, and Mandarin is worse. Please forgive me."

Ge Xiaohua and Qiao Na had a conversation in Cantonese, and learned the purpose of the other party's visit. From her saying that she was on a business trip in Hong Kong, she guessed that it should be about the exhibition. Did it attract the attention of American reporters?
Then Qiao Na introduced John to Ge Xiaohua, and introduced his identity, such as the chief planner of the popular USA TV program "Thousands of Trials", RB registered blacksmith, and American Razer Special Forces.

Countless dazzling auras concentrated on John. The 1-meter-tall John stood out from the crowd just now, like a brown bear. His physique is too strong. It is probably because of John's existence that Jinlun was afraid.

"Hello, Mr. John, my name is Ge Xiaohua."

"Hi, Watson, nice to meet you. I didn't expect that your English level is not bad, so I don't need Qiao Na to translate." Why does Ge Xiaohua feel that this address seems familiar?However, it may also be due to the long stay in Hong Kong with John, so there is also a Cantonese customary address in English, Sheng means Mr., representing respect.

Ge Xiaohua took the initiative to shake hands with John, and secretly compared the grip strength. Both of them are blacksmiths, so they still have strength, but in terms of pure strength, there is obviously a difference in size by a few levels, not an order of magnitude, but Ge Xiaohua's strength It still surprised John, especially Ge Xiaohua didn't use brute force, but skillfully defuse John's power.

"I may speak a lot of Chinglish. Please forgive me if I don't understand the meaning." Ge Xiaohua is realistic and authentic. As a top student, he joined Guangdong Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. after graduating from university and became a mechanical engineer. He often visits foreign countries Communication, so when did I develop my English proficiency? In addition, during school, my English scores were not bad, so I have a foundation in this area, but I didn't expect to use it here.

"Humble, I think your English is not bad, at least I can understand it, I really listened to a lot of Chinglish along the way." John shrugged, saying that it took a lot of effort to find Ge Xiaohua.

Ge Xiaohua, Qiao Na, and John spoke in Cantonese at the beginning. Seventh Uncle and Third Grandpa still didn’t understand. Cantonese is a Chinese dialect after all. I have heard Cantonese songs and movies on TV, so it is more or less I understand a little bit, but then we talked in English again, that is really a fantasy. Both of them were a bit out of touch. They didn't know the reason why foreign friends came to find Ge Xiaohua. Just now they wanted to listen secretly. Now the two of them They all felt bored, so they found a reason to leave, and when Ge Xiaohua was free, it was much better to ask him to understand the situation in person than to sit awkwardly here in the yard and listen to the "Book from Heaven".

"Seventh Uncle and Third Grandpa, go slowly. After I have received Qiao Na and John, I will come to the door to apologize. It is not a bad thing for them to find me, but a good thing. It is good for Gejia Village. Don't worry."

"Xiaohua, I'm relieved when you say that, as long as it's a good thing."
