"Come on, little master, help me temper this hatchet!"
"My hoe..."
Several farmers surrounded Qin Hai, and their title of Qin Hai changed from "junior" to "little master". Face is earned by oneself, and Qin Hailu's move calmed the whole audience, and everyone responded to him.
Respect arose spontaneously.
"Little master, were those methods you just used difficult to learn?" Zhang Laosan stepped forward timidly and asked Qin Hai with a bit of coyness. As a craftsman, seeing such superb skills,
There is no reason not to be greedy. What he was not sure about was whether Qin Hai was willing to teach him this technique. After all, technology is very valuable.
"What, Master Zhang, do you want to learn?" Qin Hai asked with a smile.
Zhang Laosan was even more embarrassed. He hesitated and said: "This... I don't know if it is appropriate. Besides, I don't have much education. I went to a high school, so I don't know if I can learn..."
"If Master Zhang wants to learn, I will teach you." Qin Hai replied readily, "You may not be able to understand some theoretical issues, but with your rich experience, you will definitely be able to understand them."
"Hmm, I just need to learn some experience." Zhang Laosan said continuously, completely ignoring that his words were not in line with Qin Hai's. After saying that, he remembered something again, so he asked in a low voice: "Little master,
Look... I'm asking you to teach me these things. Do you want to arrange a teacher-appreciation ceremony or something?"
Qin Hai waved his hands repeatedly: "How dare you? I have only learned a little bit. How dare I call myself a teacher in front of Master Zhang? Let's just learn from each other. Otherwise, Master Zhang, there are some other farm tools here. You can help me."
I'll lend a hand and we'll harden all these farm tools."
"Yes, yes, I wish I could." Zhang Laosan was extremely excited. For him, doing some work would not make him tired at all. If he could learn Qin Hai's skills by doing these jobs, he would earn a lot of money.
The fat man had been in the house for a long time just now, and his whole body was soaked with sweat. He was sitting under the tree drinking cold water. The other two young people, one tall and one short, just admired Qin Hai's skills.
But he had no desire to learn, so Qin Hai and Zhang Laosan went into the blacksmith shop and began to repair the farm tools one by one.
Zhang Laosan's blacksmithing experience is naturally much higher than Fatty's, so Qin Hai basically doesn't need to do anything about forging iron tools. When it comes to the heat treatment stage, Zhang Laosan also asks Qin Hai to explain it and take the photos himself.
Follow Qin Hai's instructions and proceed step by step, and in the process understand the essence of Qin Hai's heat treatment process.
"Well, this temperature is 900 degrees, right? I remember this color..."
"Okay, keep it warm in the ashes. The ashes must have a certain temperature..."
"This water is called trinitrate solution and can be used to quench this kind of steel..."
Zhang Laosan eagerly absorbed the technology provided by Qin Hai. In some places, he was even able to innovate and put forward some suggestions for improvement, which made Qin Hai click his tongue repeatedly, secretly sighing that the real masters were actually lurking among the people.
“It’s great, so enjoyable!”
When a farm tool completed all the heat treatment processes in Zhang Laosan's hands and was taken out of the quenching solution with a faint blue light, Zhang Laosan was so excited that he almost got carried away.
"Lao San, congratulations." Mangu happily congratulated Zhang Laosan. It is a gratifying thing for a craftsman like Zhang Laosan to learn a new technology.
"This is entirely because the little master taught me well. I was really wrong before. The little master has unique skills at a young age. He is really an amazing talent." Zhang Laosan didn't know how to praise Qin Hai better.
Yes, he had expressed disdain for Qin Hai before. Now that he thinks about it, it is really ridiculous. Fortunately, Qin Hai is not someone who cares about him.
"Hey, master, I remember you just said that if our brother's hardened shovel can split bricks, you will buy all our farm tools. You won't regret it now, will you?" The fat man finally said.
After getting enough water, he came back to life. He walked over with steps that were as breathtaking as the mountains and rivers. Niu coaxingly said to Mangu.
"Of course I won't regret it!" Mangu said with a frown, "As long as Zhang Laosan and this young master deal with all these farm tools, I will take them all."
"You want them all? We have to raise the price." Fatty said.
"What price should I raise? Didn't we agree on a shovel of two and a half yuan?" Several farmers hurriedly came forward to reason. Even if they didn't mention the previous bet, they planned to buy such a good farm tool, but the fat man sat on the ground and raised his
The behavior of valuing people made them unhappy.
The fat man said: "Two yuan and a half was the previous price. Our brothers were not good at learning and the things we made were not satisfactory, so we had to sell them cheaply. Now there is this one... By the way, buddy, what's your name?"
The last sentence, the fat man asked Qin Hai, it was a bit unreasonable that he didn't even know his name after he had helped him so much. In addition, the fat man was also thinking about getting Qin Hai to join him and make farm tools together in the future.
business, so Qin Hai’s name must be asked.
"My name is Qin Hai, what do the brothers call me?" Qin Hai asked.
"My name is Ning Mo." The fat man replied, pointing to the two companions, one tall and one short: "This one is Yu Haitao, and this one is Miao Lei."
"Disrespectful, disrespectful." Qin Hai bowed his hands to the three of them, which made the three of them busy for a while. There were few costume dramas in those days, so this kind of hand-over salute was unfamiliar to everyone.
"By the way, I haven't finished yet..." After Fatty Ningmo and Qin Hai informed each other of their names, they turned back to the farmers and said, "Look, the steel we use is the best, Zhang Laosan
The steel here is not as good as ours. Our quenching technology is also the best. Do you think our shovels can be sold cheaper than Zhang Laosan's?"
"Uncles, what Ningmo said makes sense. You can't buy such a good shovel for three yuan at an agricultural supplies company, right? If Ningmo and the others sell it at too low a price, they are disrupting the market.
, I’m afraid Master Zhang won’t be happy either.” Qin Hai stepped forward to explain to Ning Mo.
In fact, Mangu and the others have already adjusted their expected price in their hearts. Qin Hai is right. With such a good steel mouth, three yuan for a shovel is indeed not expensive. If it is any lower, a blacksmith shop like Zhang Laosan and others will
Don't live. They were holding on to the price at first because they didn't want to compromise with Ning Mo and the others. Now that they saw Qin Hai coming out to speak, they stepped down and said, "Since Master Xiao Qin has spoken, we have nothing to say.
. However, you young people can't ask for excessive prices, and at most they can't exceed Zhang Laosan's price."
"Why, the steel we use is better than Zhang Laosan's." The tall Yu Haitao muttered. These young people are not as polite as Qin Hai, and they also call Zhang Laosan, who is a generation older than them, by his first name.
of.
"Okay, Yu Haitao, the price is about the same."
Qin Hai came back to do the work here again. Seeing Qin Hai's words, Ning Mo and others stopped insisting and agreed to quench the remaining seven or eight tools and sell them at the price of similar products at Zhang Laosan's blacksmith shop.
Give them to Mangu.
The next thing was that everyone took turns using Zhang Laosan's blacksmith furnace to heat-treat the tools. The group of people worked until near evening before they finished the work. In addition to repairing the farm tools they bought last week, Man Gu and others
In addition, he also bought the remaining eight farm tools from Ningmo and others. Mangu counted out 27 yuan and 50 cents and handed it to Ningmo, and then went back happily with his companions.
"We're rich!" Seeing Man Gu and the others walking away, several young people felt happy. The transaction went so smoothly, and the price of every farm tool was increased, which meant they made a few more dollars out of thin air.
.
"Come on, come on, Qin Hai, this is your share." Ning Mo is the leader of the three young people, and the money earned from business is also allocated to him. He took out a big unity card from the money and handed it to
In front of Qin Hai, Yu Haitao and Miao Lei twitched their mouths when they saw the situation. The total amount was less than 30 yuan, and Ning Mo actually gave 10 yuan to Qin Hai. Isn't this a bit too generous?
However, the two of them thought about it. If Qin Hai hadn't helped them in today's matter, not only would they not have been able to earn the 27.5 yuan, but they might even have to lose a lot of money. Qin Hai showed such skill that they admired him deeply.
Here, with Qin Hai's ability, it doesn't seem too much to take 10 yuan and leave.
Ning Mo's thoughts were the same as those of Yu Haitao and Miao Lei. He also had an additional thought, that is, he was thinking of setting up a match with Qin Hai to see which company he belonged to and whether he could be brought over to partner with him. Since
If he makes up his mind to get the other person to join him, he will naturally not begrudge some benefits.
Qin Hai looked at the large group of people in front of him, waved his hands and said, "I won't use it. You put in so many materials, and the real money you can earn is not much. I just help out casually, and it's not worth the money.
However, Ningmo, you should thank Master Zhang more. Strictly speaking, you are competitors, but Master Zhang not only provided you with the stove, but also helped you with the work himself. You used Master Zhang so much coal.
Huo, you have to think about it, right?"
"No, no, no." Zhang Laosan heard Qin Hai's words and shook his head quickly. To be honest, he really didn't want to help Ning Mo and the others at first, because Ning Mo and the others were actually taking away his business by selling farm tools.
But later, he learned such good quenching technology from Qin Hai, and the competition with Ning Mo and the others was nothing. Speaking of which, he should also thank Ning Mo and the others.
"Old Zhang, Qin Hai is right, we used your coal fire, so we should thank you. However, our brothers don't earn much, so these three dollars are just like treating you to smoke, Old Zhang." Ning Mo said to Zhang
Lao San was not as generous as he was to Qin Hai. He took out a two-yuan and a one-yuan bill and handed them to Zhang Laosan's hand, which was regarded as paying for the coal fire.
