The ironware I made shines

Chapter 10 Showdown
From a wok of about 30cm to a large iron wok of about 80cm, the degree of difficulty is still very high.

Ge Xiaohua, who is good at challenges and studies, gained some experience in making iron pots after he created the green light iron pot.

Therefore, when building a large iron pot, the number of failures decreased, and finally a qualified large iron pot was created.

It's a pity that the thickness is slightly worse, but the quality is better than ordinary iron pans.

Because it is specially sold in hardware stores, if it is too thick, it will not only consume more pig iron.

Moreover, the price will be much higher, which is unacceptable to ordinary villagers, so it is more reasonable to control the thickness while ensuring the quality.

The iron pot he made is priced at around 200 yuan, which is dozens of yuan more expensive than ordinary iron pots, but the quality is much better. It is not easy to damage, and it does not rust.

Generally speaking, Ge Xiaohua felt that the big iron pot built this time was enough to be sold in Wu Weiye's hardware store.

With the efficiency of building a large iron pot and a few farm implements and iron utensils every day, Ge Xiaohua completed the required amount of iron utensils on the list within a week. For the first cooperation, Ge Xiaohua was quite attentive.

"Boss Wu, I have finished building the ironware, should I send it to the town or the county?"

"Go to the county, I'll send you the address."

Wu Weiye's store in the county is more profitable, and he usually lives in the county, so he asked Ge Xiaohua to send the ironware to the hardware store in the county.

When he arrived in the county seat, Ge Xiaohua found Wu Weiye's hardware store, which was located in Xinjie. This store basically sold feed, farm tools, chickens and ducks, and the traffic was relatively large.

"Boss Wu, these ironwares are handed over to you. If you can't sell them, you can return them to me. I have marked the price, according to our previous agreement."

"no problem."

Wu Weiye didn't spend a penny on Ge Xiaohua's iron wares, but just made room for them to be placed. There was no risk at all, so he was more than happy.

What's more, Ge Xiaohua's ironware is of high quality and is only sold in his hardware store. To a certain extent, it can drive the sales of other goods. This is the business opportunity that Wu Weiye fancyes.

After the delivery of the goods, Ge Xiaohua was a little hesitant. When he arrived at the county seat, he didn't know whether he should go home or not.

But even though his father, Ge Jianguo, passed the test, his mother, Shen Cui'e, didn't know about it. As a county high school teacher, she was always extremely strict.

She has always been the class teacher in the third year of high school, and she is still very busy with work, so she still doesn't know about Ge Xiaohua's situation.

But with Shen Cui'e's character, knowing that Ge Xiaohua had given up his superior job in Guangdong City and returned to his hometown to work in iron, he might be criticized.

"This weekend, mom should be home. Instead of being caught and questioned by her, it's better to come to the door to explain the situation. I didn't do anything wrong. Talk to mom, and I should be able to convince mom."

Ge Xiaohua knew that the longer the delay, the more accidents would happen. He has been in the village for so long, and the reputation of Ge's blacksmith shop has gradually spread to the county.

Although he is often at school, he will hear rumors, not to mention that Ge Xiaohua misses Shen Cui'e a little bit.

Because Ge Jianguo is a civil servant and his mother is a teacher, Ge Xiaohua's generation can only be an only child.

Therefore, he feels that his responsibility is still relatively large. After returning for so long, he didn't even return home, so he couldn't justify it. Now that the blacksmith shop has stabilized, it's time for a showdown with his mother.

Guangming Community is around the county government, facing the government square, and below it is a large supermarket and shopping street. The transportation is very convenient, and it is the center of the county. Ge Xiaohua's home in the county is in this community.

Ge Jianguo is not only the director of the Bureau of Agricultural Machinery, but also the deputy director of the Bureau of Agriculture, so his family is considered well-to-do.

This is also because Ge Jianguo has a good background, belongs to the working class, and was very popular in that era.

Possess a good craft and have made great contributions in the field of agricultural machinery. It is not bad to have worked for so many years as the director of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau affiliated to the Agricultural Bureau.

However, due to education and age, it is difficult to go further.

What's more, Ge Jianguo didn't have the drive in this area anymore. He just had to do his own job well and live his life steadily. After all, his job was envied by many people, and it was not bad in the county.

"Dong dong."

"Old Ge, go and open the door. Are my students here?" Shen Cui'e, the class teacher of the third year of high school, was busier than Ge Jianguo. On weekends, the third year students living nearby would come to ask for advice.

As the head teacher, she is still extremely responsible, because she teaches Chinese as the main subject, so it is still very important.

"Xiaohua, you..." Ge Jianguo opened the door and saw that it was Ge Xiaohua. He was startled and said in a low voice.

"Old Ge, who is it!" Shen Cui'e was highly myopic, and was fumbling for glasses. She didn't see the situation outside the door immediately, so Ge ​​Jianguo said quickly, "It's a courier."

"How do you express the address of your home? Don't you always write your work unit?" Normally, they are seldom at home, so it would be better to write the address of their work unit, so Ge ​​Jianguo's reason is a bit far-fetched.

"Come on."

"Mom, I'm Xiaohua." Ge Xiaohua ignored his father's aggressive eyes. Judging from his expression, it seemed that he hadn't explained the situation to Shen Cui'e for a while.

"Xiaohua? Aren't you in Guangdong City? Are you on vacation?" Shen Cui'e was a little confused, but she was naturally happy to see her son come back, but she didn't see any luggage with him. Could it be a short vacation?
Shen Cui'e was still excited and was a little incoherent. After Ge Xiaohua was asked to sit down, he began to think about what dinner he should make today.

Usually, the two of them are not at home, either eating in the cafeteria or outside, and rarely have the opportunity to cook. Shen Cui'e is a little worried that her cooking skills have declined.

After seeing Ge Xiaohua, Shen Cui'e, who was worried about gains and losses, completely disappeared from her usual intellectual teacher side, and was just an ordinary mother.

"Mom, I won't go to Guangdong City anymore, I'll just stay in Xunjiang County."

"Ah? That's great..." Shen Cui'e followed the words, then felt something was wrong, and asked tentatively, "Did Yuegang fire you? Did you make a mistake?"

"No, I resigned myself."

"why?"

Shen Cui'e's face changed, thinking that Ge Xiaohua had lost his temper, so she resigned in a fit of anger. Why are today's young people so unstable?
"I want to go back to my hometown to strike iron!"

"Forging iron? Be a blacksmith?" Shen Cui'e suppressed her anger, knowing that she had to speak well, reason overcame impulsiveness, and she did not get angry.

"Yes, Mom, I have wanted to be a blacksmith since I was a child. Do you remember the pictures I drew when I was in the third grade of elementary school?"

"Is that the picture of blacksmithing?"

"That's right. Back then you asked me what my dream was when I grew up. In order not to make you angry, I said I wanted to be a scientist. Actually, I wanted to be a blacksmith. This has always been my dream."

Ge Xiaohua recalled the scene when she was a child. Shen Cui'e hadn't spoken, and she listened quietly to her own son's words for the first time.

They talked for a full hour, and Shen Cui'e finally stood up and looked at Ge Jianguo, and said, "You already knew?"

"I found out by accident, and Xiaohua has tried his blacksmithing skills with me, and I lost to him, which proves that Xiaohua has the talent to be a blacksmith. Don't you often tell your students, 360 lines, you can be the number one? Blacksmith It is also a business, and it is an industry that is gradually disappearing, and someone needs to inherit it."

Seeing the father and son singing together, Shen Cui'e sighed and said, "Xiaohua, I agree with you to strike iron, but you have to go home for dinner every weekend!"

"Okay." Ge Xiaohua almost jumped up. With the approval of his parents, he has no worries about blacksmithing, and his parents are only free on weekends, so they can get together for dinner.
