Jin Feng threw the long knife at the door, and Qinghuai immediately surrounded him with his guards.
They stayed at the door of the shop all night.
Even the women who were preparing to change their shifts stopped what they were doing one by one and craned their necks to watch the excitement.
"Don't touch it yet, it's still hot."
Jin Feng saw Zhang Liang trying to pick up the long knife and quickly reminded him.
Although it has been quenched, the temperature on the long knife is still very high, and it may be burned to the touch.
After a busy night, Jin Feng was exhausted and drank two bowls of millet porridge before he recovered.
The long knife had almost cooled down. Jin Feng asked Mancang to put the prepared wooden handle on it, and then handed the long knife to Qinghuai.
After cooling, the long knife was completely black and gleaming with cold light.
As a soldier, Qinghuai fell in love at first sight.
With a flick of his finger, the long knife immediately made a crisp vibration, which stopped after a few breaths.
"Good knife!"
Qinghuai couldn't help but exclaimed in admiration: "Sir, this knife looks cold and formidable. Is it tough?"
"You have also seen it, Lord Marquis. This is the first time to strike iron after the furnace is built. I can't say how it works. I can only tell by trying it."
After all, this was his first time making ironware after coming to Dakang, and Jin Feng could not guarantee 100% success.
"Zhong Wu, bring me my saber!"
Qinghuai shouted.
"Master Marquis, your long knife was made by a famous craftsman in the capital. If it is damaged and it is not worth it, you might as well use mine to test the knife. Anyway, it is suitable. If it is broken, I will get another one."
Zhong Wu ran over and took off his saber from his horse, then handed it over with both hands.
In order to prevent the long sword from breaking, most of the standard long swords used in the Dakang Army were thick and heavy, and Zhong Wu's one was like this.
The length is about one meter, the width is more than ten centimeters, and the thickness of the back of the knife is an exaggerated one centimeter.
This long knife is enough to hit three black knives after melting.
"Come on, give it a try."
Qinghuai did not pick up Zhong Wu's sword, but held the handle of the black sword with both hands and prepared a chopping posture.
"Master Hou, be careful."
Zhong Wu drew out his long knife and slashed at Heidao with no showiness.
clang!
The two blades struck each other, making a crisp sound.
The big knife in Zhong Wu's hand was broken into two pieces in the middle, and the front half fell to the ground with a crisp "clang" sound.
Qinghuai took back the black knife and inspected it carefully.
The black knife is in perfect condition, with no trace of curling on the blade.
"Try this again!"
Qinghuai picked up another black knife and swung it at the wooden pillar beside him.
brush!
The sword flashed away, and the wooden pillar as thick as a small bowl was cut into two pieces.
The fracture is as smooth as a mirror!
"What a sword! No, this is a magic weapon!"
Qinghuai's eyes shone with excitement and he carefully stroked the black knife as if stroking his beloved lover.
"Sir, can you sell these two knives to me for free?"
Qinghuai held a black knife in one hand and asked sheepishly: "You can decide the price as long as I can get it, no problem."
"Since Lord Marquis has spoken, let's use this jade pendant in exchange for it."
Jin Feng pointed at Qinghuai's waist.
Qinghuai is a proud man, and he would feel uncomfortable if he was given free gifts.
Jin Feng is running out of money and is short of money recently.
It's better to offer a price that's neither too high nor too low, which would be better for both parties.
Qinghuai took off the jade pendant without saying a word and handed it to Jin Feng.
Jin Feng was not polite and took the jade pendant with a smile and put it in his arms.
"Congratulations to the Marquis for getting the magic weapon, my subordinates congratulate the Marquis!"
Zhong Wu dropped the severed saber and knelt down with his fists clasped.
The other guards immediately followed suit.
Mancang was shaking with excitement.
Whoever teaches his disciples to work as a donkey for a few years first, whether they can learn the skills depends on whether the master is happy.
Mancang is ready to give Jin Feng three years of free long-term employment.
But Jin Feng never treated him as a coolie. From building the stove to blacksmithing last night, he never shied away from it.
Being able to create a magic weapon like the Black Sword, Jin Feng will become famous all over the world sooner or later. As Jin Feng's apprentice and assistant, he will also benefit a lot.
Thinking of this, Mancang looked at Jin Feng gratefully.
He thought that Jin Feng would be as excited as him, but who knew that Jin Feng didn't have any expression of surprise, as if building such a weapon was not worth mentioning at all.
In fact, how did he know that for Jin Feng, it was really not worth mentioning. When he was working part-time in a machinery factory in his previous life, any knife he could get out would not be weaker than a black knife.
The fact that Zhong Wu's saber can be easily cut off does not mean that the black knife is so sharp that it can cut iron like clay, but that Zhong Wu's saber is too brittle.
Just like a piece of glass, if a small gap is made on the edge, the glass will break easily.
In the same way, as long as the black knife cuts a small gap on the blade of Zhong Wu's saber, the saber made of pig iron will be easily broken.
If it weren't for the fact that the pig iron left by the old blacksmith had too many impurities, no coal, and the furnace was unsatisfactory, Jin Feng could have produced even better works.
It's a pity that Dakang's technology is too backward.
"I know that the price of these two magic weapons is much more than a jade pendant. I owe you a favor, sir."
While everyone was excitedly passing around the black knife, Qinghuai found Jin Feng and whispered.
"Master Hou has overthought it. It's a business that you and I both agree on. If I accept the jade pendant, it means that the money and goods will be cleared, and no one will be owed anything."
Jin Feng smiled and said: "Master Hou, there is no need to say that you owe me a favor or anything, as long as you don't regret it in the future."
"Sir, what you mean is that you can still produce such a magic weapon?"
Qinghuai immediately understood what Jin Feng meant.
"Why not?"
Jin Feng said: "It's just more troublesome."
"Sir, did you learn this method from somewhere else, or did you create it yourself?"
Qinghuai pulled Jin Feng back to the blacksmith shop and couldn't help but speak faster.
"I created it by observing my father forging iron." That's all Jin Feng could say.
"Is it possible to create a magical weapon just by building such a furnace?"
Qinghuai asked, pointing to the stove.
"The stove is only one aspect. It also needs to be combined with other methods and the special mineral powder I prepared."
"Does anyone else know the recipe for the mineral powder?"
"No."
"Sir, if these magic weapons are used properly, they will be of great significance to me, Dakang. Please don't spread the word."
"Don't worry, I still count on this skill to make a living."
Jin Feng laughed.
Two black knives were sold for one jade pendant. From now on, I will do nothing but make two in ten and a half months, and I will have no shortage of money to spend in this life.
"If sir thinks so, I would like to do business with him."
Qinghuai said: "If you are willing to hand over this skill to the court, you can ask for any amount of money you want. I guarantee that the court will agree. If you want fame, I can also recommend you to work in the Craftsman House.
I believe that with your talent, you will be able to make a name for yourself in the Craftsman House very quickly!"
