Chapter 64 - 64. The Old Blacksmith Shakes His Hands

Zheng Yide dropped the scissors and held his trembling right hand: "It's okay, just rest for a while and you'll be fine."

"I'll send someone to call for a doctor." Zheng Yuansheng ran out quickly.

Zheng Yuanfei was disappointed, and muttered: "I don't shake in the morning, I don't shake in the evening, but at this time, my hands start to shake."

Zheng Yide was furious, and pointed at his nose: "My hands have been shaking for a long time. It's because you seldom come to see me, so you don't know about it. Your waist knife was also made for you with shaking hands. "

Zheng Yuanfei was pleasantly surprised: "Second Uncle, you made my precious sword, where is it?"

Zheng Yide had a gloomy face, ignored him, and held his shaking right hand.

"Second Uncle, don't be angry, it's all my fault, I will greet you in the future, and show respect to you. Don't be angry with me this time, just smile." Zheng Yuanfei knelt down and beat his leg, saying good things .

Under his sweet words, Zheng Yide relieved his mood and pointed to the cabinet.

Zheng Yuanfei rushed over quickly, pulled out his waist knife, and watched carefully.The second uncle also made some decorations on the knife.There are patterns inlaid with gold, silver, and copper wires on the body of the knife, and the blade is shining with a cold light.He slashed at a piece of wire, and the wire broke and the slit was smoothed out.He was very pleasantly surprised: "Second Uncle, your craftsmanship is better, this precious sword is incomparable."

"That is, I worked hard to create such a precious sword, of course it will be good. You must match it with a precious scabbard."

"Must, don't worry!" Zheng Yuanfei couldn't put it down

Tian Erya looked at the knife very enviously, poured tea for Zheng Yide, and brought it to his mouth: "Second Lord, your skill in forging knives is really first-class. Isn’t it much harder to forge a knife from ordinary iron?”

"Of course! There is rust on the tin iron. You need to remove that layer of rust first, so as not to damage the iron inside. Moreover, the melting point of tin iron is different from that of ordinary iron, so you have to keep an eye on it..." He said Suddenly shut up, "Smelly girl, you just want to talk to me. I have studied the unique secrets of the iron all my life, and I can tell you an outsider? Go away!"

Tian Erya backed away embarrassingly, but she finally gained something, and she was very happy.

Zheng Yuansheng quickly brought the doctor.

The doctor took Zheng Yide's pulse and said, "The hand tremor of the old man is caused by the blockage of the meridian in the arm."

Zheng Yuansheng hurriedly asked: "Then why are your hands shaking? Is it because of illness?"

"That's not true. On the one hand, it's because the old man is old. On the other hand, the old man has used his right hand to bear heavy labor for a long time, which has caused the arm to be overburdened, and the muscles have tightened, which will cause hand tremors. Dare I ask the old man, is it normal? Do you drink often?"

Zheng Yide shook his head: "Drink every day, one meal a day before, three meals a day recently."

The doctor suggested: "It is better to drink less alcohol in the future, it is best not to drink."

Zheng Yuansheng persuaded: "Uncle, let's listen to the doctor and quit drinking in the future!"

"No, wine is the essence of food. The more you drink, the younger you will be. Without wine, my life is no fun."

The doctor smiled, and took a pen to write out the prescription: "You take the medicine according to this prescription, fry it on low heat for half an hour, three times a day. If it is combined with acupuncture, the treatment effect will be even better."

Zheng Yide shook his head: "I don't do acupuncture, my hands are sore and numb, and it doesn't feel good."

"In this case, please take the medicine according to the prescription, and it will be effective after taking it for a while! Don't do heavy work during this time."

Zheng Yuanfei hurriedly asked: Can I still hold a hammer? "

"Try not to do it, otherwise the effect of the medicine will be halved, and his hands will continue to shake, and it will not be easy to cure him."

Zheng Yide stared at his hand and has been blacksmithing all his life. Will he not be able to continue his beloved blacksmithing career when he is old?
Zheng Yuanfei and Zheng Yuansheng were very disappointed.

The doctor carried the medicine box on his back: "Mr. please take care of it and leave."

After Zheng Yuansheng sent the doctor away, he returned to the blacksmith yard, saw the third brother's frowning face, and couldn't help sighing.

Seeing the decadence of the two brothers, Zheng Yide said carelessly: "Aren't you just worried about the scissors handed over to the Armed Forces Academy? I'm afraid that if you can't finish the errand, your father and elder brother will be beaten again. It's okay, you don't have to worry, We still have spare scissors at home."

Zheng Yuansheng's brows were puzzled: "The cloth that the government tried to cut this time is very thick, there is nothing special about it."

"Don't be afraid, I made a few scissors out of the tin iron that the third child brought, and they will still be able to handle the job when I hand them over."

Zheng Yuanfei was still fiddling with the treasured sword, smiling openly: "I guess Second Uncle has a way."

Tian Erya reminded: "There are only a few scissors forged with iron, which cannot meet the quantity required by the government. Moreover, the cloth used for scissors by the government this time is different from the past. It is not a simple layer of coarse cloth. Er Ye Be more cautious?"

"Be careful. The scissors that I made of tin iron are unique in the world, and there is still unbreakable cloth? What I should worry about is how to get more iron to make more high-quality scissors."

"Second Lord, even the scissors made of iron are problematic. I see that your scissors contain iron. The front half of the scissors is sharp, but the part near the bearing is not so bright. You should use ordinary cooked scissors. Iron. If you cut something very hard, the front iron scissors are fine, but the wrought iron forged part at the back may have problems, should we be more refined? "

Zheng Yide saw that she could see these things clearly, and lay down on the chair angrily: "My hands are shaking, I can't fix it, if you think there is something wrong with the scissors I made, do it yourself!"

Tian Erya lowered her head.

Zheng Yuansheng approached her and said in a low voice, "Second uncle has that kind of temper, so don't take it to heart."

"I'm used to it." Tian Erya smiled at him, and looked at Zheng Yide: "Second Master, can I use your tools to practice scissors?"

"As you like." Zheng Yide leaned back angrily.He was afraid that others would see through his way, so he tried his best to tamper with the hammer, and this girl even saw it.

Tian Erya started immediately, buried the wrought iron strip in the fuel, and began to study the second uncle's hammer, pointing fingers at the gaps on it to make gestures back and forth, and picking up iron pieces for comparison from time to time.

It was getting dark gradually.Zheng Yuanfei took the precious knife and scissors made of pentagram iron, and went to present treasures in front of his father.

Zheng Yuansheng saw that Tian Erya was still looking at it repeatedly with the steel plate, and urged: "Erya is too late, go back!"

"You go first, I'll take a look." Tian Erya put down the steel sheet and began to study the powder in the clay pot again.

Zheng Yuansheng saw her puzzled look at the powder, and asked, "Don't you know what this is?"

Tian Erya shook her head.

"This is borax, which prevents discoloration of hot steel and is good for welding..."

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Yide jumped up and slapped him on the shoulder: "Stinky boy, what are you talking about? This borax is a medicinal material prescribed by Chinese medicine to clear away heat and detoxify. I always hold iron Hammer, your hands will get hot, so I like to pinch some borax to relieve the heat pain. If you don’t understand, don’t talk nonsense.”
