Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

Chapter 111: Custom-made steel mace in the blacksmith shop

Daya has a slightly higher IQ, while Erya is just like a child in her teens. They are playful and playful. However, they are absolutely sincere to Liu Xialian. They immediately took out two red blood spirit fruits and said, "You two should increase your strength so that you can protect yourself in the future. Just eat this."

This little fruit is just like a sand apple, very small and disappears as soon as you put it in your mouth.

Erya was still not satisfied: "I want to eat more, it's so good."

"Okay, okay, let's go to the fruit shop in the county town some other day. Erya, you go and play, Daya, you help light the fire, and we'll go cook."

Sister Guilan was cleaning the fish. She cleaned a bighead carp and cut a few pounds of bacon.

Guilan sighed as she cooked: "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to eat like this? Fish head stewed with vermicelli, bacon stewed with sauerkraut, these are all staple dishes for the Chinese New Year."

"It's suitable. What's wrong with it? If the conditions are not met, we can endure hardships without complaint. Now that the conditions are met, it's not worth it to endure hardships without doing them. We should work hard and eat well. This is the right working attitude."

Guilan thought of the difficult days in the past and was so moved that she almost cried. She stood up and said, "I'll go and heat up the kang first. It's too cold."

Guilan went to heat the kang, Liu Xialian stewed the food, and Daya sat in front of the stove and lit the fire. Then she heard a banging sound outside, as if it was the sound of tamping.

When Liu Xia Lian arrived at the threshing ground outside the yard, she saw Erya playing with the stone mill weighing three or four hundred kilograms.

Erya was originally very strong, with a strength of about 300 kilograms. Now that she has eaten the Blood Spirit Fruit, her strength has increased greatly.

"Er Ya, I have something to tell you."

"Sister, what's the matter?"

"Your strength is like your treasure. If you show it to others, you will be caught as a monster. You should find a deserted place to practice secretly in the future."

"I don't want to be taken away as a monster. I want to be with my sister."

"Okay, be good. Don't do such outrageous things outside casually in the future. Let's go back and prepare for dinner."

After dinner, Sister Guilan added more food to the donkey and roe deer.

Liu Xia Lian is teaching Daya and Erya how to control their strength.

They were already very strong, so after taking one fruit they achieved very good results. The strength of the two was estimated to be around 800 kilograms, but there was no way to measure it accurately because there was no equipment.

As his strength increased, the machete that originally weighed several kilograms was no longer useful.

Erya yawned, so Liu Xia Lian asked her to go to bed. She then took Daya to the blacksmith shop in the village.

There are three most miserable things in the world: rowing a boat, forging iron and grinding tofu. The blacksmith shop is at the east end of the village. It is already past eight o'clock and 90% of the families in the village have gone to bed, but the sound of clanging can still be heard in the blacksmith shop.

The old blacksmith was in his forties. He held a kitchen knife between pliers and led the hammer with a small hammer. His wife held a sledgehammer and they hammered rhythmically, clang-dang, ding-dang, ding-dang.

Liu Xia Lian and Daya did not disturb him and waited for more than ten minutes. The blacksmith only spoke after he finished hammering the kitchen knife.

"Uncle, please give me two handy weapons to kill wild boars."

The blacksmith was delighted when he heard this: "We have so many handy tools, hunting forks, machetes, spears, short spears, and everything else."

The spears used last time were very effective, but they broke too easily. This time, Liu Xia Lian chose three short spears that were 1.5 meters long. The acacia wood handles were 1.2 meters long, and the sharp spear heads in the front were 30 centimeters long. The deep blood grooves looked horrifying, and could kill wild boars in seconds. A pierced neck would basically deprive the boar of its ability to move within a dozen seconds.

"This light one is not enough. Uncle will make two iron maces for me. They don't need to be too heavy, 50 to 60 kilograms will be enough."

The blacksmith was smoking a cigarette and almost dropped it when he heard this.

"Uncle, this is a country blacksmith shop. How can we make that kind of thing? You think too highly of me."

Liu Xialian pointed to the scrap steel rails on the ground and said, "We have good steel. Just make a long steel bar, about one meter long, and wrap it with nylon rope. It should be practical and weigh no less than 60 kilograms."

The blacksmith laughed and said, "Girl, you asked me to make this for you, but how can you fight a wild boar with a weight of 60 kilograms? Can you swing it?"

Liu Xia Lian found an iron rod from the scrap pile, which weighed about 70 or 80 kilograms, and she picked it up and waved it gently a few times.

"Uncle, don't worry now."

The blacksmith and his wife were stunned. What kind of strength is this? Ancient warriors had this kind of strength. Ordinary people can lift things weighing 70 to 80 kilograms, but being able to lift something and wielding it easily are two different things.

"Don't worry, don't worry. Give me five days, and you can come and get it in five days."

Steel is still very expensive these days, even scrap steel is more than 50 cents per pound: "Uncle, how much is it in total, two 60-pound iron rods, plus these three short spears."

"Give me eighty, and I'll earn a few dollars for my labor."

"No, I can't let you work in vain. I'll give you five more dollars if you work hard." Liu Xia Lian took eighty-five dollars and handed it to the blacksmith. The blacksmith took a pen and started working.

Liu Xia Lian left, and the blacksmith's wife was trying to hold back her laughter.

"Haha, this is the first time I've encountered reverse bargaining. You asked for eighty, and she gave eighty-five. If it was someone else, she would be lucky enough to give seventy when you asked for eighty. What a good kid."

The blacksmith shook his head. "I originally thought that this kid relied on luck to hunt in the mountains. Now it seems that he relies on strength. He can easily handle things weighing 60 to 70 kilograms. What a level. I give up. If this guy can make a wild boar weighing several hundred kilograms, he can kill it with one blow."

After saying this, the blacksmith went to find good materials, prepared to cut them and start working. If you are paid for the work, you must do it well, otherwise no one will ask you for help next time.

The next morning, Xu Xiong, Li Hu and Li Xiaofei arrived. Li Hu had a bump on his forehead.

Liu Xia Lian asked: "What happened? Did you fall on the way home last night?"

"No, my dad beat him. Yesterday I said that you could throw a 500-pound pig into the mountains without blinking an eye, but he didn't believe me and said I was bragging, saying that bosses all over the world want to treat their workers like cattle and horses and are stingy. I said it was true, but he argued with me and hit me on the head with a rolling pin."

Liu Xia Lian almost laughed to death: "We can't control other bosses, but no matter how many things we have, they are dead, and people are alive. When encountering and affecting life and health, we must throw things away to save lives. This is our principle, remember it."

Li Hu asked: "Are you going to take the three wild boars from yesterday to the forest farm to sell them?"

"No, we won't sell it. There are more than 20 people working in the restaurant, clothing store, and car dealership. Let's divide the money for welfare. The three of you get on the cart and go fishing. I'll arrange for the butcher to kill the pig and divide the meat. Tomorrow we'll divide the welfare and prepare for the New Year."

These days it's really not that difficult at all, not to mention that this is a rural area at the foot of Changbai Mountain. Nothing is more important than the Chinese New Year. The Spring Festival is only half a month away, and every household has begun to prepare.
