Chapter 18-18. The Secret on the Blade
Tian Erya was whipped and quickly dodged.

Zheng Yuanxin didn't expect that the second uncle would really beat Tian Erya with a whip, and he would hit him a second time before taking the whip: "Second uncle, Tian Erya is not the one who was sent here by the Zheng family's mistake, you can't treat her like this .”

Zheng Yide pointed to Tian Erya's nose: "I will take care of her in the iron yard."

Zheng Yuanxin urged his daughter-in-law: "If you don't take Tian Erya out, do you really want to see her get beaten?"

Zheng Yuanxin's daughter-in-law pushed Tian Erya out: "I told you to leave earlier, but if you don't listen, you will have to be whipped to know the cruelty of reality."

Tian Erya clutched her painful shoulder and twisted her body: "I won't leave."

Zheng Yuanxin looked anxiously: "Hey! Why are you disobedient? Do you think Second Uncle won't dare to beat you again?"

"I can't come here for nothing, and I can't leave like this."

Yuanxin's daughter-in-law pointed at the blacksmith with whip marks all over his body: "If you don't leave, you will be beaten into a gourd like him."

Tian Erya was not convinced, and glared at Zheng Yide: "Why did you hit me?"

"Why?" Zheng Yide was angrier than her, knocking on the water tank, "You ruined my tank of water."

"Where can I destroy your water?"

"If you pour oil into the water tank without authorization, you are destroying my water."

Tian Erya retorted: "I poured oil into the water for the purpose of forging scissors. You agreed with me to use your things to forge scissors before, and it is not my decision."

Zheng Yide was full of questions: "I asked you to forge scissors, but I didn't ask you to add oil to the water. What do you want to do by pouring oil into the water?"

"To make the scissors shine, of course."

Zheng Yide went crazy: "Are you stupid? The scissors have passed the inspection. After wiping and oiling, they will shine brightly. Who taught you such a stupid trick?"

Tian Erya is quite proud: "It is too oily to operate according to your conventional procedures. The method of water and oil in the quenching process that my father figured out is very useful. It saves coal and fuel, and the scissors produced are as shiny as the scissors."

Zheng Yide couldn't understand her, rolled his eyes, and wanted to teach her the truth: "Bring here the scissors you made."

"You said before that the scissors I made were garbage, let me watch and dispose of them, and I was thrown into the melting pot as garbage, have you forgotten?"

Zheng Yide remembered it, and snorted: "The garbage scissors you made dare to be called shiny? But they are smoother and rounder than the scissors that have just been formed. When making scissors, you also want to save fuel and fuel. It's really a search. You Such a family can't make good scissors, and your father is just a blacksmith, and the things he makes can only be sold in your countryside, not on the table."

Tian Erya heard him mocking her father, and stomped angrily: "Don't look at people through the cracks of the door, you underestimate us. My father's blacksmithing skills are not bad, but the materials he uses are not as good as yours. .If we have conditions like yours, we can also make good scissors."

Zheng Yuanxin was afraid that Erya Tian would really push the second uncle into a hurry and would be beaten again, so he reprimanded: "If you don't understand, don't talk. The scissors that the second uncle forges are unparalleled, the best in the industry."

"Boss, shut your mouth and let her talk. In most of my life, this is the first time I've heard someone say such a thing in front of me!" Zheng Yide raised his thick eyebrows and pointed at Tian Erya. : "Do you think you can make good scissors just by having good materials? It depends on a lot of hard work. As the daughter of a blacksmith, you can still say such words, it is really shameless."

Tian Erya was not convinced, and muttered: "That's the way it is. If you have more materials, you can experiment more. If you experiment more, you can naturally produce better finished products."

Zheng Yuanxin's daughter-in-law nodded Tian Erya's head: "You look very honest, how dare you talk back to your second uncle, you are dying?"

"I'm not wrong. The appearance of the scissors he made is not much better than mine. It's just that he added something to the blade, so the scissors he made are so powerful."

Both Zheng Yide and Zheng Yuanxin were surprised.Zheng Yide asked: "What do you think I added?"

Tian Erya shook her head: "I don't know. Anyway, that thing is hard and shiny. It's different from the material used for scissor handles and body. It's a bit like steel."

Zheng Yide snorted: "You guessed wrong. The scissors are one body, how can different materials blend together? Wait until you make scissors like mine, and then talk big in front of me!" Shocked, the secret of the steel inlaid on the blade was almost discovered by Tian Erya. This girl has two tricks, not as stupid as she looks on the outside.

Tian Erya tilted her head thinking, what on earth did he add to the blade so that it could cut through the iron sheet so powerfully.

Zheng Yuanxin's wife held her head and pressed down: "Quickly apologize to Second Uncle, and let Second Uncle forgive you this time."

Tian Erya came back to her senses and avoided her hand: "I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize to him? He said that my father's trick of putting oil in the water is stupid, but we poor people can't live like you. After the scissors are formed, the scissors are oiled again and again. Cats have cat ways, dogs have dog ways, as long as we can make scissors. We are all in the same industry, and there is no need for him to belittle my father."

Zheng Yuanxin's daughter-in-law was so angry that she gouged out her white eyes: "Why are you so ignorant of words? What good does Second Uncle do for you?"

Tian Erya twisted her neck: "He can look down on me, he can scold me whatever he wants. However, he can't belittle my father, let alone scold my family."

Zheng Yide pointed at her, and said to Zheng Yuanxin and his wife: "Boss, boss, daughter-in-law, you can see clearly, this girl is definitely a stubborn one, stubborn, and has a very stubborn personality. Once she makes up her mind, she insists that Qingshan will not relax. If she was an obedient and honest person, she would have succumbed and left Zheng's house long ago. You don't need to worry about her, let her do it here, and I'll see how long she can do it."

Zheng Yuanxin and his wife looked at each other, maybe they were overflowing with sympathy just now, seeing a poor girl like Tian Erya couldn't help feeling a little pity, but poor people must have something to hate, this girl would rather suffer here than leave The Zheng family should make her suffer.

Tian Erya was dissatisfied with the old man's statement: "Who did it? What I said is not without reason. You forge iron in your own way, and our family also has our family's tricks."

Zheng Yide hit the water tank with the short handle of the whip: "I don't care what tricks you have, but if you pollute the water in my water tank, you have to clean the water tank and refill it."

"Okay, I'll clean the water tank for you all the time, so that you won't see any oily spots." Tian Erya saw an idle pot nearby and picked it up, "Is it okay to use this pot to hold water?"

"Whatever." Zheng Yide returned to his recliner, closed his eyes, and began to take a nap.

Tian Erya used a basin to pour the water in the tank into the drain, and when the tank was empty, he moved the tank to the well a hundred meters away and scrubbed it inside and out with a brush.

Zheng Yuanxin's daughter-in-law whispered to her husband, "That tank weighs at least a hundred catties, and I can't move it."

"She was a blacksmith since she was a child, and she is as tall as a man. You have never done heavy work, so how can you compare with her?" Zheng Yuanxin walked to the iron furnace, picked up the iron tongs, picked out a piece of hot iron, and beat it with a hammer.

Yuanxin's daughter-in-law looked around, picked up the small teapot on the table, went to the second uncle and handed it to him: "Second uncle, drink some tea to moisten your throat."

Zheng Yide took the small teapot and took a sip: "Boss, daughter-in-law, if you want someone to add more lamp oil to me, that girl poured out at least half of my lamp oil."

"Okay. Second Uncle, tell me, if you add kerosene to the water during quenching, do you really not need to oil the scissors you make?"
