As early as when Qin Hai and others appeared on bicycles, Ge Dongyan was observing these young workers. Seeing that each of them had a childish look on their faces, and they looked several years younger than himself, Ge Dongyan began to
I regret my impulsiveness. How can such a few people have the skills to make a good dagger?
This is also due to Ge Dongyan's obsession with ordnance. He is the kind of person who would not hesitate to pay half a year's allowance to get a good dagger. He saw that the sharp weapon he finally got was cut off by his uncle's shovel.
, he felt distressed at first, and then shocked, and then he persistently forced Mangu to contact Qin Hai and others, asking them to help him make a good knife.
This morning, Zhang Laosan asked someone to send a letter saying that the workers at Qingfeng Factory had made the knife. Ge Dongyan's sense of expectation was no different from Ning Mo's. Just after noon, he urged Man Gu
When I came out of the countryside and rushed to Zhang Laosan's blacksmith shop, it was only 3 o'clock, and there was still more than an hour before the agricultural machinery factory got off work.
It was hard to wait until the time was right, but the ones who came to deliver the goods were four inconspicuous young workers. Ge Dongyan felt like he had been deceived, but how could he say such a thing?
"You said you could make a good dagger?" Ge Dongyan stared at Qin Hai with sharp eyes and asked coldly.
Qin Hai raised his head, faced Ge Dongyan with his eyes, and then said with a smile: "A mere dagger is nothing. Give me a fulcrum, and I can create a lever to move the earth."
"What a loud tone." Ge Dongyan responded, muttering secretly in his heart: This young man has two brushes. His eyes have been specially trained. The most normal reaction of ordinary people under his gaze.
He was at a loss and absolutely did not dare to look at himself. But this young worker, who looked less than 20 years old, was not only able to remain undefeated in the face of himself, but he could also say these ridiculing words in an understatement.
"Have you brought your dagger? Let me check it." Ge Dongyan put away the murderous look in his eyes and stretched out his hand to Qin Hai, asking for the dagger they made.
Qin Hai smiled slightly in his heart. He knew that in the silent confrontation just now, the arrogant soldier in front of him had been defeated by him. In fact, this game of looking at each other is a comparison of the confidence of both parties. Qin Hai was a
An outstanding person has now traveled through time and his thinking is 30 years ahead of others. He is even more outstanding among outstanding people. How can he be afraid of an ordinary platoon leader? He has no timidity in his heart, so when their eyes meet, he can do it.
Take your time.
"This is the dagger we made, Platoon Leader Ge, please take a look at it." Qin Hai took the dagger they made from Ning Mo and handed it to Ge Dongyan's hand.
The dagger was inserted into a simple scabbard made of cardboard. When Ge Dongyan took it, he frowned at the ugly scabbard. However, when he held the handle of the dagger and removed it,
When he pulled the sword out of its scabbard, a bit of cold air hit his face instantly, making him couldn't help but praise: "What a knife!"
The surface of the specially quenched super alloy steel dagger does not look dazzling. On the contrary, it looks a bit dark, which makes people feel a little weird. Ge Dongyan is a person who is good at playing with knives. Looking at the color of this knife
, I knew it was something extraordinary, and most of the contempt in my heart suddenly disappeared.
"Platoon Leader Ge really knows his stuff." Qin Hai guessed Ge Dongyan's mentality from his expression, and he said with a smile: "Platoon Leader Ge might as well try this dagger first to see if it suits you."
"How to test?" Ge Dongyan asked subconsciously, and then looked around, trying to find something that could be used to test the knife.
Qin Hai pointed to a piece of wood next to him and said, "Let's try this piece of wood first."
The wood is actually the trunk of a miscellaneous tree. The wood looks very dense, and there are a few knots on it. It looks lumpy, and it is obviously no longer suitable for making furniture. Knotted wood like this is generally not used for making furniture.
It can only be used as chopping wood for fire.
Ge Dongyan had already fallen in love with this piece of wood just now. He asked Zhang Laosan for his opinion, then stepped forward with the dagger in hand, gesturing on the wood, looking for a place to cut.
"You can try to see if you can cut off the knot." Qin Hai stepped forward and offered his advice with good intentions.
Ge Dongyan glanced at Qin Hai, as if he was a little dissatisfied with his talkativeness. He thought that he was also a platoon leader in an elite force. Do I still need a young worker like you to teach me how to test a knife?
"Let's see Platoon Ge's arm strength and see if we can cut off this tree knot with one knife." Qin Hai happily used the provoking method.
"You don't have to worry about my arm strength. You should worry about whether your knife will break." Ge Dongyan choked Qin Hai, then tightened the handle of the knife and slashed at a tree knot as thick as a cup.
"flutter!"
There was a muffled sound like stepping on mud. Ge Dongyan felt that there was no obstacle on his hand, and the knife had passed through the center of the knot lightly. The knot fell from the trunk, leaving a smooth cross-section.
"It's too strong!" Zhang Laosan, Mangu and others who were watching from the side screamed. Everyone knows that tree knots are the hardest part of wood. Some tree knots are so hard that even ordinary hatchets cannot cut them.
It requires a big ax to chop it open bit by bit. However, such a tree knot was easily cut open by a dagger. The smoothness of the cross section shows how sharp the dagger is.
"Not bad, not bad!" A smile finally broke out on Ge Dongyan's face. It turned out that not only could he laugh, but he also smiled more heartily than others. He had always had a sullen face before, just pretending to show his authority.
The first cut was satisfying. Ge Dongyan got into a mood and started chopping the wood with a dagger. Wherever the dagger hit, sawdust flew, and pieces of wood were chipped to the ground. Zhang Laosan
Watching from the side, he laughed and said to Mangu: "Platoon Leader Ge is helping me chop wood. How should I thank him later?"
At this moment, there was a crisp "ding" sound, and everyone trembled in their hearts. This was clearly the sound of metal colliding, which was completely different from the sound of cutting wood in front. Ge Dongyan was even more nervous, and he couldn't care less
He went up to see what he had hit, but first looked at the edge of the dagger in his hand.
There was a slight scratch on the edge of the knife, but the blade was undamaged. Ge Dongyan was relieved and then turned his attention to the piece of wood.
There was a small bright spot in the place where he had just cut. He looked closely and found that it was the severed end of an iron nail that had been cut off at the waist. He didn't know when the iron nail was driven in.
Yes, it was stuck in the middle of the wood. No wonder Ge Dongyan didn't see it.
"It's amazing, this is like cutting iron into clay!" Zhang Laosan cheered loudly.
"Good knife, good knife." Mangu was also full of praise.
Ning Mo and other people's eyes were a little straightened. They had some expectations for the performance of this dagger, but they did not expect that it could easily cut off an iron nail. How can such strength be considered
The dagger is almost similar to a turning knife.
"Good knife!" Ge Dongyan was so satisfied that he couldn't bear to use it for a while longer. He inserted the dagger back into the simple cardboard scabbard, then held it in his hand and said to Qin Hai: "Your surname is Qin
Right? Master Xiao Qin, I want this knife. How much does it cost? Please give me a price."
Qin Hai smiled slightly, stretched out his palm and made a "five" gesture.
Only five yuan? Mangu looked on, feeling astonished. A dagger does not use as much steel as a shovel, but with such a steel mouth and fine workmanship, it is not too much to sell it for ten yuan.
This Master Xiao Qin actually only wants five yuan?
Zhang Laosan was also a little puzzled. In his opinion, the price of twenty for this dagger should be more reasonable, because the quality of the steel is so good that it cannot be valued according to the standards of ordinary iron tools. It is so good.
The price of the dagger was five yuan. Could it be that Master Xiao Qin made a miscalculation?
Ning Mo and others also felt a little bit in their hearts. Yu Haitao immediately wanted to go up and ask Qin Hai if he had made a mistake, because just for the machining of the dagger, the cigarettes they sent out would cost more than five yuan. However, he was
The body just moved a little, then he held it back. He found that although the muscles on their faces kept twitching, Ning Mo and Miao Lei gritted their teeth and did not make a sound. Before setting off, Qin Hai had already told them the reason for the price negotiation.
He took the responsibility alone and asked them not to talk nonsense. Thinking of Qin Hai's previous actions, Yu Haitao felt that Qin Hai should have considered this price.
"Fifty? Fifty?" The only one who understood Qin Hai's gesture was Ge Dongyan. Others didn't understand the value of a good piece of steel, but he knew it very well. He originally asked an acquaintance in the repair shop to use a piece of good steel for the dagger.
He spent forty or fifty to make it, including the materials and money to treat the acquaintance to dinner afterwards as a thank you, and he felt it was not unfair at all. Compared with the dagger in his hand now, that dagger could only be
Throwing it into the trash, if the price of this dagger was fifty, he would be getting a big deal.
"That's right, fifty." Qin Hai said, "These colleagues of mine admire soldiers very much, and they insist on transferring this dagger to you at the cost price, so I can only offer the lowest price."
