Chapter 158 Just a little understanding
Chapter 158: Just a little understanding
"This Mr. Lu Xiaolang is a distinguished guest of our Wei Mansion. He is very interested in casting and said he wanted to visit the best blacksmith shop in the county, so I brought him to Master Lin."
General Manager Wei introduced.
“Hello, Master Lin.”
Lu Qing bowed slightly to say hello.
At this time, information about this old craftsman was displayed in his field of vision.
【Lin Tiechui: The master of Zhuxinfang, a skilled old blacksmith with a bold personality. 】
【Cultivation: Acquired mastery of muscles and bones, good at hammer technique. 】
This name is quite down-to-earth.
Lu Qing thought to himself.
"It's easy to talk, but Mr. Wei, you are flattering me by saying this. If Old Man Wang next door hears it, he will have to ask me to argue."
“Young Master also knows the art of casting?”
However, Lu Qingshi, a distinguished guest of the Wei Mansion, was accompanied by the Chief Manager of Wei, and he was more likely to be a powerful warrior who could defeat the martial arts master.
I even heard about it afterwards. At that time, there was a young man whose skills shocked everyone. He defeated a martial arts master who had perfect internal organs with the perfect state of muscles and bones.
Old craftsman Lin immediately understood that Lu Qing was not good at casting, but on a whim, he wanted to make a weapon for fun.
Those who can have General Manager Wei accompany him in person must have a very important status.
Old craftsman Lin was obviously smiling, and he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, but he still spoke modestly.
"Of course you can. I don't know which stove Xiao Langjun likes, so I will free it up."
“I wonder what Mr. Lu Xiaolang wants to visit?”
Old craftsman Lin was very surprised.
“Actually, I mainly want to rent your foundry’s furnace and make a handy weapon for myself. Is it convenient for Mr. Lin to do it?”
The old craftsman Lin of Zhuxinfang and the old craftsman Wang of the nearby Tiebingzhai have always been at odds with each other. This was known to the entire county, and he had no interest in participating in it.
“I know a little bit about it, but I’m not yet proficient in it. I still need to practice.”
General Manager Wei smiled slightly and said nothing.
He has encountered such a young master before, so it is not too surprising.
If it were someone else making such an unreasonable request, Mr. Lin would definitely be very displeased.
Lu Qing's temperament did not have the aura of a blacksmith at all, and his hands were smooth and flat without any calluses. He did not look like he was good at casting.
After knowing that Lu Qing was an honored guest of the Wei Mansion, Old Craftsman Lin did not dare to neglect him.
Looking at Manager Wei's attitude, could it be that he is the young man in front of him?
Thinking of this, Master Lin’s attitude couldn’t help but become more respectful.
Faced with such an existence, naturally everything can be compromised.
Although he did not go to the city gate yesterday, he felt the terrible power of the bursts of eruption in the city.
Lu Qing got straight to the point.
“Master Craftsman Lin, please help me pick one, it should be more powerful,” Lu Qing said.
“Then let’s use Furnace No. 1. It has the strongest wind and the highest temperature. Even fire rock steel can be smelted. It should meet Xiao Langjun’s requirements.”
Old Craftsman Lin pondered for a moment and then said directly.
“Then just listen to Master Lin.”
Huo Yan Gang Lu Qing also knew that a kind of black steel with a very high melting point usually appeared near volcanoes.
If you can even smelt black steel like that, then the firepower of this furnace is indeed very powerful.
It barely meets his requirements.
Soon, Master Craftsman Lin freed up furnace No. 1.
“Lu Xiaolangjun, please, I wonder what kind of weapon you want to fight?”
"It's not urgent. I'll practice my skills first and get familiar with the process." Hearing this, Old Craftsman Lin was even more sure that Lu Qing was really here to play.
How can you make a good weapon if you are not even familiar with the casting process?
“Old Craftsman Lin, if you are busy, you can take care of your own business, and there is no need to accompany me.” Lu Qing said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter. There haven't been any special orders in the workshop recently. Old man, I have nothing to do. I can observe Xiao Langjun's forging techniques."
How dare Craftsman Lin let Lu Qing do this alone? He couldn't bear the responsibility if he got hurt.
However, he still dispersed his subordinates and disciples who wanted to watch, so as not to affect Lu Qing.
Lu Qing smiled, understanding what Old Craftsman Lin was thinking.
He didn’t poke it. After selecting it for a while, he finally picked up a medium-sized hammer.
“Old craftsman Lin, I wonder if I can use materials from your workshop.” Lu Qing asked.
"But it doesn't matter if you use it." Old Craftsman Lin said immediately.
Anyway, the materials on the stove were just ordinary iron bars. Even if they were broken, he wouldn't feel bad.
Lu Qin took a look at the materials on the stove and found that they were all ordinary pig iron bars, so he put what was needed into use.
He held the hammer in his right hand and took out a red-hot iron bar from the charcoal furnace with his left hand and placed it on the anvil.
Then he turned on his superpower and entered the learning state. A hammer technique in the Lihuo Sect's inheritance flowed through his heart, and various insights came to his mind.
Ding!
Lu Qing hit the iron bar with a hammer, and a clear sound sounded.
Old Craftsman Lin’s heart skipped a beat at first, and then a look of understanding appeared on his face.
As expected, this Mr. Lu Xiaolang was not proficient in blacksmithing skills.
This hammer blow, although the strength is good, but the skill is not good, the force is not used correctly, it seems quite unfamiliar.
It is very difficult to hammer out the impurities in pig iron using this method.
However, he didn’t say a word to remind him, he just watched quietly.
After hammering a few times, Lu Qing also noticed something was wrong. He stopped and thought quietly.
Old craftsman Lin saw that he had not moved for a while, and was thinking about whether to give some advice, when he saw Lu Qing raising the hammer again.
Ding!
I saw Lu Qing hit him with another hammer.
But this time, Mr. Lin’s eyes couldn’t help but open slightly, showing a hint of surprise.
It was all because of Lu Qing's blow, which was beyond his expectation.
As an old blacksmith who has been immersed in forging for decades, he has made countless weapons and farm tools with his own hands in his lifetime.
Old Craftsman Lin’s forging skills have already reached an extremely advanced level.
When he teaches his disciples on a daily basis, he does not need to see with his eyes, but only listens with his ears to know which disciple has made a mistake.
So he could immediately tell that Lu Qing's hammer was completely different from the previous ones that were almost blind.
The force was very appropriate and clever, and it was just enough to hammer out the impurities in the iron bar. Even his disciples may not be able to hit it with such a hammer.
“Is it luck?”
An idea flashed through Old Craftsman Lin’s mind.
But he soon discovered that he had guessed wrong.
Lu Qing also felt the difference after giving the hammer a hammer. He knew that he had found the right direction, and couldn't help but smile on his face.
He did not stop, he continued to raise the hammer, and struck again.
For the next time, Lu Qing just kept folding and forging the iron bar, hammer after hammer.
During this process, the eyes of the old craftsman Lin opened wider and wider, and finally became stunned.
