Start with a blacksmith shop

The knife shape came out, it looked like a dog-legged knife.

Li Zhenhua's last blow fell on the knife blank, and the entire knife blank was completed.

"Hua Zi, what's the next step for this knife?"

Guo Shugui asked with a camera on the side, pointing at the knife blank in Li Zhenhua's hand.

"The next step is to quench. After quenching, open the V, sharpen the edge, install the handle, and polish it brightly. At that time, the pattern on the knife will be revealed."

Li Zhenhua grabbed the knife blank and waved it twice in the air to test the knife's comfort.

"Quenching, does it need to be tempered after that? The last batch of table knives didn't need tempering. Will this knife need to be tempered?"

After hearing this, Liu Xiaodong asked Li Zhenhua from the side.

"This knife is only quenched, not fired. I plan to use a special method to quench it."

Li Zhenhua looked at the two people beside him who looked puzzled, but did not tell them what method he used.

"Okay, just watch, I'll find the ingredients!"

After speaking, Li Zhenhua put the knife blank in his hand on the anvil beside him.

Li Zhenhua went in thinking about the warehouse next to him, and the two people who stayed behind,

They all gathered around the knife blank on the anvil. A fat man doing odd jobs,

I grabbed the hilt of the knife, and the thin one had a look of regret on his face.

Li Zhenhua came to the warehouse, took out the iron powder collected during the previous blacksmithing, and put it in the courtyard.

Then he took the borax placed next to the anvil and ground it into powdered carbon powder.

Most of the raw materials have been gathered, but there are still two types left, one is charcoal powder, and the other is raw soil.

Charcoal is easy to deal with. The most indispensable thing in the blacksmith shop is charcoal.

Find some good fruit charcoal, put the charcoal into the stone mortar, and the charcoal will be quickly pounded into powder.

There is only one thing missing now, and this raw soil is a bit difficult to get.

Li Zhenhua took a shovel from the corner of the yard and a Luoyang shovel made by his grandfather.

He took two handfuls of things and walked toward the door.

"Guo Ba, take your camera and leave. Let's go to the woods by the river to find raw soil."

Originally, Guo Shugui was watching with the knife blank in one hand and the camera in the other hand facing Li Zhenhua. He faithfully took pictures of all Li Zhenhua's actions just now.

"Hey, here you go, Hua Zi, what are you going to do?

And is the shovel you are carrying a Luoyang shovel?

Are you going to fight upside down?

Have you quit your career as a blacksmith and are still working as a tomb robber part-time? "

Guo Shugui, who was very imaginative, asked Li Zhenhua after seeing his appearance.

"Get the hell out of here, okay? I'm a serious good guy. You think I'm Hu Bayi?"

Touching the Golden Colonel is okay in the novel. My Luoyang shovel is not for tipping.

Hurry up and follow me. You will know what this thing is for in a moment! "

After Li Zhenhua finished speaking, he walked out of the yard, and Guo Shugui followed behind with his things.

Liu Xiaodong, who had been playing with the semi-finished knife blank, saw the two of them going out and hurriedly followed them.

Li Zhenhua led the two of them, holding tools, all the way to the river.

There was a small forest beside the river, and Li Zhenhua stopped near the river.

Put the two tools in your hands on the ground, and then use your own experience to

When he came to the ground between the two trees, Li Zhenhua used his feet to sweep aside the leaves covering the ground.

The land leaked out. Li Zhenhua picked up his Luoyang shovel and started working on the ground.

He grabbed the Luoyang shovel with both hands, lifted it into the air, and smashed it toward the ground with all his strength.

Luoyang's shovel was very sharp. It hit the ground three points, and Li Zhenhua pulled it out again.

The soil that Luoyang shoveled into was filled with soil, and then the soil in the shovel was poured aside.

He lifted the shovel again and smashed it into the hole just now.

Just digging down bit by bit, the handle of the Luoyang shovel was originally two meters long, but now the exposed handle is only about fifty centimeters.

In other words, the depth of the hole Li Zhenhua dug has reached 1.5 meters.

Pulling out the Luoyang shovel again and pouring the soil aside, Li Zhenhua looked at the soil and shook his head in disappointment.

Yellow clay: The microbial content and humus content exceed the standards and do not meet the raw soil standards.

"Oh, it's a bad start. There is no such thing in this place. I was asked to dig so deep in vain."

Li Zhenhua put the Luoyang shovel aside, took the shovel, scooped up the excavated soil, and poured it into the hole. After a while, the one-meter-five-meter-deep hole was buried.

"Hua Zi, what are you doing!

Why can't we both understand your operation? In my eyes, you are now a living master of tomb robbers. "

Guo Shugui, who didn't understand what Li Zhenhua was doing, finally couldn't help his doubts and asked Li Zhenhua.

"Screw you master tomb robber, I'm just looking for a living place. Have you read too many novels? There are so many tomb robbers in reality!"

Guo Shugui was unhappy after hearing this and hurriedly replied back.

"You see, you are so ignorant. Didn't Third Uncle dig into Sanxingdui? And the guy named Wang who wrote the novel, aren't they all from a fighting background?"

When Li Zhenhua, who was tired of digging, heard this, he became interested and threw the shovel aside.

He didn't mind that the ground was dirty, so he sat on the ground and said to Guo Shugui.

"You can pull it. When Sanshu wrote the novel, Sanxingdui had already been dug up. Well, it's the existing Sanxingdui, and then there was Sanxingdui's novel.

And that Wang, he really had a fighting background.

As for me, I’m just here to dig usable soil and make soil.

Soil dug from deep depths contains no humus and almost no nutrients. "

After listening to Li Zhenhua's explanation, Guo Shugui understood. He had thought that something terrible had happened to him before!

After chatting, Li Zhenhua found another place and started digging with the Luoyang shovel again.

When he dug the fourth hole, Li Zhenhua finally dug out soil that met his requirements.

At this time, the shovel, which had never been of much use, came in handy and dug downwards with the hole as the center.

A large pit one meter square and one meter two deep was soon dug.

Li Zhenhua squatted down, picked up a small pinch of soil, and twirled it in his hands.

A smile finally appeared on his face. Finally, his efforts were not in vain. I finally found the soil.

He started digging with a shovel and put it into the woven bag he brought.

Throwing the soil on top, he climbed out and threw the shovel at Liu Xiaodong who was idle on the side.

"Fat man, I'll leave the rest to you. Take a shovel and bury this big hole for me.

But I’m so exhausted that I can’t even lift up any strength now. "

When Liu Xiaodong saw how tired Li Zhenhua was, he grabbed a shovel and started burying the soil.

The hole was quickly filled, and Li Zhenhua picked up the woven bag, while Liu Xiaodong held two tools and asked Guo Shugui to go back together.

"Let's go, the raw materials have been collected, it's time to proceed to the next step, Guoba, did you take the picture just now? If so, give it to the organizing committee and send it to the organizing committee."
