The ironware I made shines

Chapter 323
Ge Xiaohua doesn't know much about antiques, but he is an expert in forging technology. From this point of view, the quality of this double mace is very good, and it has patina. It can be seen that when it is not dusty, this double mace should be cherished by the sages arms.

"There are still many allusions to the mace. For example, in the Song Dynasty, there was a concave golden mace used to beat the emperor and treacherous ministers. Now more and more people use mace in martial arts, and it is better for physical exercise." Ge Xiaohua checked on the Internet. Some information about the mace weapon, I fell asleep after reading it. In the dream, Ge Xiaohua learned the mace technique from Qin Shubao.

After waking up from the dream, Ge Xiaohua's hands were itchy, and he was holding the paste that was wiped clean but covered with a layer of history. It still looked quite old-fashioned. If it was polished, it would definitely be a different scene. It would definitely look much more beautiful, but Ge Xiaohua understands very well that after an old object is polished and polished, the short-term beauty is only a moment, and the precipitation of history is difficult to obtain. If the layer of patina is polished off, is this still an antique?
Although Ge Xiaohua couldn't be sure how old it was, he felt that it might be of the same age as the spearhead, and the degree of patina was similar, but the quality of the spearhead was poor, and it was already rusty after years of baptism. The forging process, materials, etc. Nothing can compare with this double mace.

After washing, Ge Xiaohua regained his energy and started exercising in the morning. He learned some moves in his dream with double maces. In fact, he also saw them in TV dramas. When hitting the target, wooden stakes, iron plates, iron barrels, bamboo, etc., are all one-hit kills, and the power is extremely amazing.

Double maces have the lethal power of hammers, but they are more flexible than hammers and can advance and retreat freely. However, it is extremely difficult to use double maces well. This is why there are so few generals who use maces in history. They are all masters, such as Qin Shubao and Niu Gao under Yue Fei in the Southern Song Dynasty are also good at using maces.

"Happy, the double mace is much more refreshing than the hammer, and it's not very heavy." Ge Xiaohua weighed it. The weight of the two double maces is about 60 catties, which is very heavy for ordinary people. However, it is extremely easy for Ge Xiaohua. As a blacksmith, he often forges with a hammer and repeats the cycle. Ge Xiaohua, who is already in good physical condition, after scientific and continuous training, holding a 30-jin weapon is a piece of cake. He has been wielding it for a while , I still didn't feel satisfied, and took out the defective product of the newly built Sword of Hades from the warehouse.

"Although this animation peripheral product has not burst into light, I am still confident in the quality." Ge Xiaohua fixed the sword of Hades in the yard, and brandished a pair of maces and smashed it at the sword of Hades.

"Qiang——" The Pluto's sword did not break as expected, but was still standing firmly, a bit like a divine sword.

"Although it is a defective product, the quality is guaranteed after passing through my hands." Just as Ge Xiaohua said "click", the originally smooth blade of Pluto's sword was now covered with cracks, and then the glass shattered. the sound of.

"Can you save some face?" Ge Xiaohua's blow just now would have broken no matter what type of weapon it was, so it couldn't explain anything, but the origin of this mace made Ge Xiaohua more interested, and he could easily build Ge Xiaohua. Although it is a defective product, it is still commendable. The maker of this weapon must be a master.

Ge Xiaohua slashed again, this time the sword of Pluto broke completely, and the iron pieces scattered on the ground made people heartbroken.

"Although it's a pity, it also proves the quality of this mace, and you have done your best." Ge Xiaohua packed up the fragments, threw them into the furnace and mellowed them into iron blocks, which can be used for the next forging. It is a high-grade material, it is a pity to discard it. If it is that kind of inferior iron material, Ge Xiaohua may directly throw it into the warehouse. If you have time, you can melt it to make farm tools. Ordinary farm tools do not have very high requirements for iron materials. Big, but the sword is not the same, the excellent impact of the material is still great.

At night, Ge Xiaohua observed the pair of maces, studied them carefully with a magnifying glass, and found that there was a lettering at the end of the handle.

"Yun Cong Mace, Ge!" Ge Xiaohua saw the familiar Ge's mark, and his heart trembled.

"Could it be Grandpa's work? Or is it the work of the Ge family's predecessors? Haha, it's destined in the dark that our Ge family's things will still return to my hands. I will ask my father tomorrow."

Ge Jianguo knows more things than Ge Xiaohua. The Ge family's blacksmith shop was originally passed down to Ge Jianguo, but he had a prosperous official career and became a civil servant in his early years. Now he has become a hot figure in the county. The blessing of the family.

It's just that in the business of blacksmithing, Ge Xiaohua didn't inherit much, and he didn't know many things about his ancestors.

The next day, Ge Xiaohua drove to Ge Xiaohua's private kitchen early. For the first time, he stayed in the store in the morning. At noon, he called Ge Jianguo and asked him to come over for dinner. He prepared a delicious meal. Never had a meal like this.

"Xiaohua, what's the good thing today? You have made such a rich meal. Look at the brand on your outside. This meal costs several thousand yuan? Xiaohua, your price is too high, no wonder the business is sluggish."

"Dad, I set the price on purpose. I didn't have time to start a business. I just opened a private kitchen for fun, so that some friends can have time to gather for dinner, and I didn't plan to rely on it for dinner."

"It turns out to be like this." Ge Jianguo understood what Ge Xiaohua meant. After all, Ge Xiaohua also needed to take care of Ge's blacksmith shop. The kitchen has not opened for three years, and it feels like it has been open for three years. A repeat customer will earn tens of thousands of yuan, which is worth the income of others for several months, and this is only Ge Xiaohua's daily income.

After eating and drinking enough, Ge Xiaohua wanted to talk about business, and said, "Dad, look at this." Ge Xiaohua took out the cloud mace packed in a gift box from the car, and Ge Jianguo was immediately attracted, and said: " Xiao Hua, where did this come from?"

"I bought it with a truck driver, and the other one was collected from the scrap yard, forming a pair of cloud maces."

"The shape and forging method are very similar to our Ge family's style..." Ge Jianguo recognized it at a glance. Even if he didn't look at the mark on the end, in terms of build style, this cloud mace has a certain relationship with Ge's family.

"Dad, look at this."

"Sure enough, it is a mace produced by our Ge family. It seems to have been made for some years. It is more exquisitely made than your grandfather, and it has some style characteristics of the Republic of China period. I think it was made by your great-grandfather, although I am not sure."

"Great-grandfather?" Ge Xiaohua didn't expect that Ge's blacksmith shop is really a family of blacksmiths. Since his great-grandfather's generation, he can forge such a superb cloud mace. After hundreds of years, he can still break the sword of Pluto with one mace. , the actual combat ability can be seen.

In horse battles, it is very common to fight cold weapons. Yuncong mace can "cut off" the enemy's weapons. How can an unarmed enemy be an opponent, so this weapon is still very useful in the era of cold weapons. In the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China In [-], Ge's ancestors also made great achievements in forging cold weapons. From this cloud mace, Ge Xiaohua was able to see the glory of his ancestors, and he felt a sense of pride spontaneously.
