This is an old man who makes a living by sharpening knives. He has been walking around the streets for decades regardless of rain or shine. The knives he has sharpened have an excellent reputation. Because he could not withstand the temptation of the 10,000 yuan prize, he called the TV station to sign up for knife fighting.
The reporter followed him all the way. The old man welded a machete by himself. After sharpening it and unsealing it, he set off all the way. The target: Lin's Knife Shop!
Another reporter along the way also went to a big brand to buy a good kitchen knife worth 588 yuan. As soon as the scene changed, two people arrived at the store. The store was not big, only about 40 square meters, but there were many people inside. In addition, the reporter
As soon as it arrived, it immediately attracted passers-by to watch. Chinese people like to watch the excitement. This is a tradition that continues to this day!
The owner of the store is a middle-aged uncle. When he saw the reporter, he immediately came out and exchanged a few words. He first took the machete made by the sharpening man, slid his thumb across the blade and said, "This knife of yours is good, better than ordinary ones."
All kitchen knives need to be good, wait a minute, I need to open one specially!"
After saying that, he turned around and picked out a thick knife from the shelf, but it was not opened. The camera followed the middle-aged man into the inner courtyard. There was a grinding wheel for unsealing on the ground. In a moment, sparks appeared, and the knife was opened.
.
The reporter narrated on the side, praising the middle-aged master's skill. The knife opened beautifully, without any deformation on the blade, and the front edge was very even. It can be used directly without having to use gauze to rub it smooth... It is at least ten years old.
Technology.
The face of the old knife-sharpening man was a bit unsightly. He rubbed his hands hard on the green apron. An expert would know it once he took action. Although the middle-aged boss's unsealing effect was worse than that of manual grinding, a layman could no longer tell it.
.
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "That's alright, master, you do it or I do it."
"It's you who do it!" The old knife-sharpening man's face turned even more ugly.
The middle-aged man nodded. The camera sense was still very strong. After waiting for a while, he held a knife in each hand, and the blades collided suddenly. "Click!", the scene was in an uproar, and a knife appeared on the sharpening old man's knife.
There was a big gap, and the middle-aged boss's knife also had a gap, but it was very shallow. The judgment was immediately made, and the crowd's eyes were sharp!
"Master, the steel you chose is very good, but the blade casting process is not as good as mine." The middle-aged man explained, and then used the missing knife in his hand to demonstrate cutting belts, nail strips, and steel wires without any difficulty.
The reporter came up and took out the 588 brand-name knife. The middle-aged boss chose another knife and collided with each other. This time it was more domineering. The kitchen knife priced at 68 yuan in the store left many gaps intact with the brand-name knife.
.
When Zhang Heng saw this, he couldn't help but murmured: "What a great knife!"
As a result, the aunt followed up and said: "The knives in this store are really good. Yesterday, a butcher bought a bone chopping knife that he had used for more than ten years and couldn't win. If it is empty tomorrow, I will buy one to use...
"
Not to mention the aunt’s continued nagging, the middle-aged boss on TV talked to the camera: “Everyone is welcome to come and fight with knives at any time, and the 10,000 yuan bonus is valid at any time... Of course, everyone is also welcome to come and buy knives, ranging from ten yuan to hundreds of yuan.
No wait, our Lin Dao family has been passed down for thousands of years, and every knife has a quality guarantee..."
Seeing this, Zhang Heng already had some thoughts, so he ordered some more salt from his aunt and said goodbye and went home.
Walking on the road, he couldn't help but take out the remaining butcher's knife. The other one had already been given to Cuckoo. He touched the blade and saw that this butcher's knife was full of animal blood. Zhang Heng felt that the material seemed to have changed a bit...
When I got home, my mother was still knitting and said, "Son, you're back. Go take a bath and go to bed early. Don't get up to help tomorrow. Mom just thought of a simple way to mix powdered seeds."
Zhang Heng put the bag on the table, poured out the leaves, fruits, and some snacks inside, and said: "Mom, these are the fresh leaves, fruits and snacks I just picked, bought on the road, for you and Xiaoyi.
Mom, what simple method are you talking about?"
"Haha, you forgot how our village makes glutinous rice balls and rice noodles during the Chinese New Year." Mother smiled, but her hands kept knitting a sweater quickly.
Zhang Heng asked doubtfully: "Use a stone mill to push?"
The mother laughed and said: "Mom, you have forgotten that your ancestors didn't have a small machine at home, so they said that the stone mill pushes out the rice slurry, drains the water and dries, and then it becomes powder. But if it is made fresh, don't you need to dry it and just drain it?"
The water can be used to make glutinous rice balls."
Zhang Heng suddenly realized that after drying it into powder, it can be used with water. After draining the fresh rice milk, there is really no need to mix it with water. It can be used directly by kneading it. He said happily: "Mom, if this can save costs,
, Glutinous rice is cheaper than rice noodles, and we can also buy glutinous rice directly from the village, which costs less than two yuan a pound."
"That's the reason. We have a small machine at home that can grind Sichuan peppercorns. You can also grind rice milk by changing the stopper. Once you grind it, it can be used for several days. Just find a rice bag and hang it to drain, so you can use it at any time.
"Mom has asked your uncle to help collect the glutinous rice..." Mother said and came over holding a sweater with a knitted collar.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Because his mother drew the sweater pattern directly on him.
"Haha, Mom hasn't knitted a sweater for you for many years. Now I'm starting to find time to knit. When the weather gets cold, I can knit two or three pieces. It's enough for you to change and wash in the winter." Mother said cheerfully.
Zhang Heng suddenly choked up. The sweaters he wore in winter were all worn by his elders. "Mom, you are so kind. Where is my sister?"
When my mother heard this, she laughed and scolded her: "You, since you were a child, you have only cared about your sister, and you don't know how to ask your mother if she has a sweater to wear!"
When Zhang Heng heard this, he cried out in disbelief: "Mom, I feel sorry for you the most." Who would have thought that just a moment ago he was killing wild beasts in the primitive world, and in the next moment he ran to his mother to act like a baby.
"Oh my dear, my dear son!" The mother's eyebrows were raised in joy. The younger daughter may have learned too early, but whenever the elder son acted coquettishly, she felt extremely distressed and was filled with joy from the bottom of her heart!
——————————
It was night, after Zhang Heng took a bath and was about to go to bed, he suddenly forgot to bring out the barbecue. He couldn't bear to part with the tiger meat, so he simply lifted the tiger meat hidden at the bottom of the cabinet into the space, and then brought out a pack of finely chopped barbecue.
Everyone was fine after being delayed in the cave, but the weather was getting colder and there was a thick layer of snow outside, making it impossible to go out.
Taking advantage of the darkness, I put the roasted meat into the stuffing, smiled, I could sleep peacefully this time, and made up my mind to go to the Lin's Knife Shop tomorrow morning...

"Zixuan, have you received the leaves I sent you by express delivery?" Zhang Jing waited for the clerk to leave and then checked carefully before closing the store herself. Although she was busier than before after becoming the deputy store manager,
But she liked this kind of life very much. When she got home, she suddenly thought of the leaves she had given away before.
Liu Zixuan was about to close his laptop and go to sleep when he unexpectedly received a call from his cousin Zhang Jing, "Cousin, I think you are making too much of a fuss. You are willing to spend money to deliver just a few leaves!"
"Zixuan, don't think that you are nineteen years old and a senior in college. You are a little genius and you can tease your cousin at will. If my sister didn't care about you, would you be willing to spend money on express delivery? Didn't I tell you last time, these leaves?
Very special!" Zhang Jing hummed.
Liu Zixuan pouted and answered: "I know, I will go to the mail reception desk early tomorrow morning to have a look. It's not like you don't know that the school's letters are all signed for uniformly, so we will be notified a little slower. By the way, sister,
How's your work going? How about I come join you after I finish my graduation thesis?"
"No, you must not come. I can't stand your arrogance as a genius. That's all. I'll give you a message when I get it!" After saying that, Zhang Jing quickly hung up the phone, but suddenly thought of the tiger seller.
The naughty little handsome guy suddenly became angry again. He just disappeared with three million. He didn’t know how much he would spend on a meal when he came back to treat guests. Humph!
