The ironware I made shines

Chapter 256
The next day, Kabal and Aiwandi rested and took the initiative to explain the situation to Ge Xiaohua.

"You abstained?"

"Yes, whether it is forging technology or character, we are not as good as you, so we abstained."

"No comparison?"

"We discussed it and decided that there is no need to compete. The quality of the ironware in the exhibition room is beyond comparison between the two of us. Of course, if you are interested, brother Ge, we can show our forging technology and improve each other. "Cabal said sincerely, since he is here, he still has to show his skills, but the two of them don't intend to compete, it would be a waste of time.

"In that case, I'll take you around first, and then we'll talk about it after a tour." Ge Xiaohua is naturally curious about the blacksmithing techniques of Pakistani and Indonesian blacksmiths, but he is not in a hurry. What's more, because of his thoughtfulness and caring, he gained 200 points, and his ranking rose several times in an instant. Because he was challenged, he only got 100 points for each victory. 100 bonus points.

Ge Xiaohua's move was a bit like subjugating without a fight. It is normal for Kabal and Aiwandi to admit defeat after having influenced their opponents with their culinary skills and seeing the dazzling array of artworks in the exhibition room.

In the past few days, Ge Xiaohua accompanied Kabal and Ai Wandi to travel around Xunjiang County and experienced the scenery of the Dong people. From the perspective of foreigners, the culture of the Dong people is different from the Chinese culture they imagined, and it is inevitable. After a lot of doubts, Ge Xiaohua explained them one by one, which is a bit like a tour guide, and this tour guide not only includes food and lodging, but also includes fun!
Nowadays, they are polite and courteous, even people with a bad temper are not easy to get angry, so this challenge is still mainly about communication. Kabal and Aiwandi each demonstrated their forging technology in the blacksmith shop, which opened Ge Xiaohua's eyes. Gained a new understanding of the forging technology of Asian countries.

Kabal is mainly made of Damascus series knives, which are made of patterned steel with beautiful decoration and graceful shape. Damascus knife series is famous for its devil-like gorgeous killing art, and it is one of the three famous knives in the world.

Ge Xiaohua has seen a lot of Damascus knives and thinks he has an understanding of Damascus knives, but he has benefited a lot from actually seeing Cabal forging on site.

"Brother Kabar, the Damascus knives you made are so smooth and flowing, they are really skilled." Ge Xiaohua admired sincerely. He did not expect that Batie has such a level in making Damascus knives. He always thought that the Damascus knives were made by Iran. Traditional blacksmiths are good at it. I didn't expect Pakistan to be proficient in it?
"Thank you, the technology passed down from our ancestors." Kabal began to teach him everything, which made Ge Xiaohua very flattered. It is estimated that Ba Tie has a natural affinity for the Chinese, so he has nothing to hide.

It's one thing to say it, but another thing to do it. Although Ge Xiaohua knows some "secret techniques" for making Damascus knives, he still has to study them by himself.

Kabal's teaching is nothing more than to repay Ge Xiaohua's hospitality during this period, and the friendship between the two peoples still makes Ge Xiaohua very moved.

And Ai Wandi also communicated and forged Malay swords on the spot. Southeast Asian countries are the birthplace of Malay swords, and they are also the field they are good at. Ge Xiaohua was also very shocked to see the real Malay sword forging masters. When he was in the United States last time, he had to forge Malay swords, and Ge Xiaohua, who rushed the ducks to the shelves, had no experience in this area. As the world's three famous blades, the complexity of forging Malay swords was beyond imagination.

If it weren't for seeing Ai Wandi explaining while building, Ge Xiaohua still has only a half-knowledge about Malay sword.

"The exchange competition of the Asian Forging Association may have been for this purpose at the beginning, but now it is covered by fame and fortune, and it is rare to discuss it in such a calm manner.

The so-called three cobblers are worthy of one Zhuge Liang, so Ge ​​Xiaohua can be regarded as a descendant of Zhuge's family. Although the elders in Gejia Village brag about it, who knows if it has anything to do with Zhuge Liang.

Therefore, the discussion among the three was still very intense, and everyone gained a lot. When Ge Xiaohua went to conduct forging exercises, Kabal and Aiwandi admired his versatility. This is the real forging master!

No matter what it is, as long as you think of it, you can create it!The universal plasticity of iron has also allowed iron products to continue to this day since their discovery, and iron has never been eliminated.

"Brother Ge, is this pot hand-forged? We usually cast it." Not only the iron pots in Pakistan are cast, but also in Indonesia. Forging by hand is impossible for them. ah?Because if there is no mold, how can it be made into an iron pot?The prototype of the bottom of the pot is not so easy to play.

"Yes, traditional Chinese iron pots are all forged by hand. Let me practice." Ge Xiaohua used his own practical actions to prove the power of Chinese blacksmiths. Iron blocks can be transformed into any shape in Ge Xiaohua's hands. Even a semicircle is no exception!
In order to improve efficiency, Ge Xiaohua first used an air hammer to beat the iron block into a suitable shape to extend the area of ​​the iron block, and then fixed the stretched iron block in a frame, since it was hammered one by one.

"Pay attention to the angle and strength when beating, and observe and adjust at any time." Ge Xiaohua beat with a small hammer, like a pear flower in a rainstorm, beating on the iron block at high speed, because of gravity, the place suspended at the bottom is slowly being shaped Form into a circle, and beat slowly like this, the surface of the pot is full of beating marks, forming a unique pattern.

"A magical Chinese forging technique."

"This is the first time I have seen this kind of hand-forged pot."

"so amazing."

"This is Ge's hand-forged iron pot!"

Kabal and Aiwandi expressed admiration, because as blacksmiths, they knew very well that the strength required for this kind of beating can only be mastered by mastering the element of iron and the strength of the beating, which is not ordinary. Newcomers can be compared.

The two of them benefited a lot from the forged iron pot alone, not to mention that Ge Xiaohua then forged a traditional Chinese sword. The exquisite Chinese sword is not the kind of ostentation in the impression. The so-called three famous blades in the world are poor, and the reason why Chinese swords have not entered the world stage and rank low is because of insufficient cultural output, and there are still a few Chinese blacksmiths who have entered the world stage. Foreigners only know Chinese kung fu, but It is not a Chinese sword. It can be seen that there are not many cold weapons in China in terms of cultural output.

This is also what Ge Xiaohua will do next. After reaching a certain level, Ge Xiaohua knows that the burden on his body is still very heavy. If he inherits the traditional blacksmith culture, he must carry it forward!

Creating two-dimensional figures and Marvel movie super props is a way to promote Chinese swords, and this exchange of forging masters from various countries is also to let colleagues see the charm of Chinese swords.

Kabal and Aiwandi stayed at Ge’s blacksmith shop in Gejia Village for a full week. According to their itinerary, it would take up to three days, but they were reluctant to leave. Ge Xiaohua changed patterns every day according to the characteristic culture of Pakistan and Indonesia on the Internet. I entertained them, took them on a trip, and then forged exchanges after returning. Such a rare opportunity, I naturally hope to stay for a few more days.

But there is no such thing as a feast, Kabal and Aiwandi reluctantly left and returned to their own country, hoping that Ge Xiaohua would have time to visit.

"Brother Kabal, I will definitely go to Pakistan as a guest! Brother Pakistani!"

"Goodbye!"
