One Piece: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 14 Blacksmith Apprentice
Matsurizawa ate for a while, and Ayane cooked a lot, and it didn't happen that Matsurizawa didn't feel full after eating.

Seeing Ayane who was looking at her like this, Matsurizawa said to Ayane.

"Xiaoyin, why don't you eat, why do you keep staring at me, is there ashes on my face?"

After Matsurize finished speaking, he patted his face, as if to disperse the dust on his face.

Ayane laughed seeing Matsurizawa like this, she thought Matsurizawa was really cute.

Ayane didn't let Matsurizawa continue to be in such a difficult situation, and Ayane also started to eat breakfast.

This warm breakfast ended in an increasingly harmonious and beautiful atmosphere between the two.

Afterwards, Ayane pushed Matsurize to the kitchen, and Ayane told Matsurize at this time.

"Ozawa, from now on, at home, we have to follow the rules. I cook, and you wash the dishes. You have to work together, you know?"

Ayane picked up a small bowl and demonstrated it to Matsurize. Matsurize got started very quickly.

Ayane was supervising the work, and she was very satisfied at the moment. She suddenly felt that it would be nice if she stayed with Ozawa every day like this.

After Ayane lost her memory, Matsurizawa never told Matsurizawa that she wanted to take him in or drive him away.

Ayane remembered that he had joked with Uncle Abin about recruiting Matsurizawa as an apprentice blacksmith. Ayane carefully looked at Matsurizawa's body shape and hand shape, and Ayane found that Matsurizawa was still a material that could be made.

Just in time, Ayane thought that the agricultural and household appliances of the villagers were all made by herself, and she thought of the kitchen knives that the villagers used every day.

Ayane thought that the batch of kitchen knives she built for the village last time were almost worn out.

Just in time, I can rebuild a batch of kitchen knives and sell them to the villagers.

Just in time, I would like to take this opportunity to see if Matsurize is suitable for the job of a blacksmith.

Ayane is thinking of making arrangements here. Matsurizawa's future arrangements are basically arranged by Ayane for Matsurize according to the way she has traveled all the way. Ayane is still very attentive.

Matsurizawa on the side had already washed the dishes and put them away, and was waiting for Ayane who let his mind go.

Ayane suddenly saw Matsurize who had come in front of her, and she couldn't help but blushed. After she saw that Matsurize had finished the job she had entrusted.

Ayane thought of the kitchen knife just now, and she did it when she thought of it. Ayane was very resolute, and this time Ayane didn't take Matsurize with her.

Ayane walked out of the kitchen and came to the blacksmith's room opposite, with Matsurizawa naturally following behind.

Ayane came to the stove in the blacksmith's room. At this time, a lot of pine charcoal was placed in the stove. It was made from dead branches of pine trees and was very useful for refining iron items.

In fact, this can also be regarded as a secret recipe handed down from the ancestors of the Ayane family. During the firing process, many secret ingredients are added, which are not known to outsiders.

There is a blower under the stove, which is a manual and pedal blower. On weekdays, when Ayane operates alone, she just puts one foot on the blower and forges iron ore with a hammer in her hand. cumbersome.

Let Matsurizawa learn how to live as a blacksmith. In fact, Ayane also wants to liberate herself and make herself less tired.

Ayane picked up a few pieces of iron ore from the ground beside her and placed them in the pine charcoal.

Ayane operated the manual operation mode of the blower, and asked Matsurizawa who was behind her to follow suit.

It is reasonable to say that ordinary people with amnesia may behave abnormally, have insane intelligence, do not know people, have short memory and so on.

But through this short morning, Ayane found that although Matsurizawa is like a three-year-old child now, he doesn't know anything.

But he has a high IQ and a strong learning ability. He can understand what he says, and he can learn by analogy.

This time also did not disappoint Ayane, but this is also a very simple task that Ayane taught Matsurizawa.

Just squatting on the ground, holding the handle of the blower, and twitching it non-stop. Ayane can do it when she says she can do it, and stop when she says she can do it. It's still very simple, but it's just a waste of energy.

Ayane said loudly.

"start."

Matsurize twitched the handle of the blower vigorously, and the pine charcoal in the stove immediately burned.

After 10 minutes, the pine charcoal has been burnt red, but the iron ore between the pine charcoal has not been completely burned red.

At this time, Ayane discovered a weakness that can be said to be Matsurizawa, that is, his physical strength is not very good. At this time, Matsurizawa was already tired and out of breath.

This is also normal. With Matsurize's body, when he took off his clothes, he was so skinny that his ribs would be exposed. How could he have good physical strength.

But Ayane saw that Matsurize was persevering profusely, she didn't say anything, she knew that with Matsurize's current physical strength, she could still persevere.

After another 10 minutes, the iron ore had been burnt red.

Ayane asked Matsurizawa to stop and rest for a while, watching her forging the kitchen knife.

Matsurizawa let out a long breath, and slowly stood up while pawing at the relatively low-temperature countertop on one side of the stove. He just pawed there, preparing to watch Ayane's forging process.

Ayane looked at the somewhat embarrassed Matsurize, and couldn't help laughing. She held a pair of iron tongs in one hand, and picked up the red-hot iron ore from the stove.

Place them on the smithing platform next to the furnace.

It was a whole piece of dark black stone, standing there in a square shape. There were many traces of forging with hammers on the platform, and some traces looked very old.

These are all tools that the Ayane family has used for generations. Even Ayane forges knives every once in a while here, but the materials used are better.

Ayane put down the clip, and held a big hammer hanging on the ground in the other hand.

The size of this big hammer is very exaggerated, especially compared to Ayane's size.

Matsurizawa looked at Ayane holding such a huge sledgehammer, and compared his head to the head of the sledgehammer.

The hammer shaft of this big hammer is as thick as Ayane's small arm, the hammer shaft is as long as a human's thigh, and the hammer head is the most exaggerated, the size of Matsurizawa's head.

Ayane lifted the hammer very easily, one hammer, two hammers, forging non-stop.

"Bang bang bang."

The sound of the hammer hitting the iron ore was like music, very rhythmic, and Matsurize kept shaking his head to follow the rhythm.

After beating for a while, Ayane picked up the tongs and exchanged iron ore.

Matsurizawa didn't take a long break, so he could only sink his head down and continue to push the blower.
