Chapter 31： collect raw materials

The shape of the knife came out, like a dog-leg knife.

Li Zhenhua's last blow landed on the knife blank, and the whole knife blank was considered complete.

"Huazi, what should I do next with this knife?"

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

"The next step is quenching. After quenching, open the V, sharpen the blade, 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 comfort of the knife.

"Quenching, do you need to temper it later! The batch of table knives didn't need to be tempered last time. Does this knife need to be tempered?"

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

"This knife can only be quenched, not fire. I plan to use a special method to quench it."

Li Zhenhua looked at the two people with puzzled faces, but did not tell them what method to use.

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

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

Li Zhenhua walked in thinking of the warehouse next to him, and the two who stayed,

Together they surrounded the blank knife on the anvil, a fat man with odd jobs,

Grabbing the handle of the knife, I was in my hand, and the thin one looked remorseful.

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

Then I took the borax that was placed next to the anvil, and a basket of toner that was ground into powder.

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

Charcoal is easy to solve, and the blacksmith's most indispensable thing is charcoal.

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

Now there is only one thing missing, and this raw soil is a bit difficult to handle.

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

Holding two things, he walked towards the door.

"Guoba, take your camera and leave for me. Let's go to the forest by the river to find raw soil."

Originally, Guo Shugui was watching with a knife blank in one hand, and pointed at Li Zhenhua with a video camera in the other. He faithfully recorded all of Li Zhenhua's actions just now.

"Hey, come here, Huazi, what are you going to do?

And is that Luoyang shovel you are carrying?

Are you going to fight?

Did you become a blacksmith and also work part-time as a tomb robber? "

Guo Shugui, who had a very big brain, asked him after seeing Li Zhenhua's appearance.

"Fuck you, I'm a serious and good person, okay, you think I'm Hu Bayi,

Touching Captain Jin is something in the novel, but my Luoyang shovel is not for fighting.

Hurry up, and you'll know what I'm doing in a while! "

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 knives, saw that the two of them had gone out, and hurriedly followed.

Li Zhenhua led the two of them to the small river with tools in hand.

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

Humanely put the two tools in your hands on the ground, and then based on your own experience,

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

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

Grab the Luoyang shovel with both hands, lift it in the empty space, and smash it down hard towards the ground.

Luoyang's shovel was very sharp, three points into the soil, and Li Zhenhua pulled it out again.

Luoyang's shovel was filled with soil, and the soil in the shovel was poured aside.

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

Just digging down little by little, the handle of the Luoyang shovel was originally two meters long, but now the exposed handle is only about 50 centimeters.

In other words, the hole that Li Zhenhua is digging is 1.5 meters deep.

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

Yellow clay: the microbial content and humus exceed the standard, which does not meet the raw soil standard.

"Hey, it's a bad start. There is no such place. It's for nothing that I dug so deep."

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 1.5-meter-deep hole was buried.

"Huazi, what are you doing!

Why can't the two of us understand your operation, you are now a living master of tomb robbers in my eyes. "

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

"Go to your grave robber master, I'm looking for raw soil, have you read too many novels, there are so many grave robbers in reality!"

Guo Shugui was not happy after hearing this, and hurried back to the sidelines.

"You see, you are ignorant. Didn't the third uncle dig into the Sanxingdui? And the novelist named Wang, didn't they all come from Daodou?"

Tired of digging, Li Zhenhua became interested when he heard this, and threw the shovel aside,

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

"You get it, Sanxingdui was already dug up when Sanshu was writing novels, okay It's the existing Sanxingdui, and then there are Sanxingdui's novels.

And that Wang Mou, he was really born in reverse,

Besides me, I'm just here to dig usable soil, raw soil

The soil dug out from the deep layer does not contain humus and has almost no nutrients. "

Hearing Li Zhenhua's explanation, Guo Shugui understood that he thought something terrible happened to him before!

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

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

At this time, the shovel, which has been of little use, came in handy, and dug down with the hole as the center.

Soon a large pit measuring one meter square and one meter two deep was dug out.

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

A smile finally appeared on his face, and finally the effort was not in vain, and the native soil was finally found.

He started digging with a shovel and packed it into the woven bag he carried.

He threw the dirt on it, climbed out by himself, and threw the shovel at Liu Xiaodong who was idle.

"Fatty, I'll leave the rest to you. Take the shovel and bury this big pit for me.

But I'm exhausted, and now I can't lift up any strength. "

Seeing that Li Zhenhua was so tired, Liu Xiaodong grabbed the shovel and began to bury the soil.

Soon the hole was filled, Li Zhenhua picked up the woven bag, and Liu Xiaodong took two tools, beckoning Guo Shugui to go back together.

"Let's go, the raw materials have been collected, it's time to proceed to the next step, rice cracker, have you taken the picture just now, if you have it, then send it to the organizing committee."
