Chapter 62 The master’s emotion
After a while, Jiang Lin handed over the sharpened long knife: "Master Tang, please give me some advice."
Blacksmith Tang took the long knife and looked at it again and again.
Although the angle is okay, the force is not uniform enough, causing it to be thin in some places and thick in others.
Ordinary people may not understand it, but Blacksmith Tang can tell it at a glance.
Despite this, Jiang Lin's performance is still remarkable.
"Jiang Lin, did you really start sharpening the knife last night?" Tang Blacksmith couldn't help but ask.
"Indeed, Master taught me for a while last night."
Tang Tiejiang couldn't help but sigh: "Your talent is really terrifying, you can be called a monster. One night's effort is enough to rival others' several days of practice. I estimate that after two or three days of teaching you, you will be able to learn it roughly." .”
Jiang Lin said humbly: "Master Tang, please give me some advice."
"This is natural. Since I promised the master, I will do my best."
As Blacksmith Tang spoke, he sat down and sharpened the long knife again while explaining it.
"The faster the whetstone rotates, the more strength you need to control the blade. Remember, it is not to use all the strength of the whole body, but to mobilize the strength, with the elbow as the point, the arm as the bar, and the fingers as the pliers... ”
[You have learned the secret of sharpening and your proficiency has been greatly improved]
[Skill 5: Blade Lv3 (Proficiency 7/80)]
Seeing the change in information, Jiang Lin's eyes lit up slightly.
He is indeed the best master in sharpening skills in the South Blacksmith Camp. He has gained more experience than Zhao Yankui.
Moreover, Blacksmith Tang imparts his experience very carefully. Just like this job, you must have patience, perseverance, and even more care.
After Tang Blacksmith finished sharpening it, Jiang Lin looked at the long knife again and found that even the number of defects had been reduced.
Can sharpening also reduce defects?
It’s not surprising when you think about it, after all, many defects are concentrated on the cutting edge.
In this way, if the edge is opened well, some effort can be saved in eliminating defects in the later stage, which is no less important than quenching.
"Burning fire, tempering, quenching, and sharpening, the four keys are intertwined. Sure enough, none of them is simple." Jiang Lin thought to himself.
"Here, try again." Blacksmith Tang brought a new knife over.
Jiang Lin nodded, took the long knife and sat in front of the whetstone to start polishing it.
Time continued to pass like this, and at noon, Jiang Lin handed over the newly polished weapon.
"Master Tang, how do you think this time?"
Blacksmith Tang took the long knife and glanced at it, his expression became even weirder.
He didn't comment, he just said a few vague words, and then asked: "How many hours have you been teaching me?"
"It should be two and a half hours." Jiang Lin replied.
"What, my stomach hurts a little, please take a rest first."
After finishing speaking, Tang Blacksmith held his stomach and was about to leave.
As a result, not far out, he was stopped by Zhao Yankui: "The time has not come yet, why are we going?"
As soon as he saw him, Blacksmith Tang became very angry: "Master, you are so good at cheating people. Jiang Lin is pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. His sharpening skills are already comparable to those of ordinary masters. How dare you?" Said he just learned it last night.”
"I just learned it last night, who tricked you?" Zhao Yankui stared.
However, Tang Tiejiang was not afraid at all. He frowned and said: "I admit that Jiang Lin's talent is indeed evil, but it is not that evil! Can one night be compared to others' months or even years of practice? No wonder Qi The master winked at me earlier, so you guys are working together to make fun of me, right?”
As he said that, he turned back and pointed at Jiang Lin: "Look at his posture, how does it look like what he just learned? The blade is neat, the force is even, and the angle is impeccable. Ordinary masters may not be as good as him!" Zhao Yankui's eyelids twitched and he subconsciously glanced at Jiang Lin, who was sitting in front of the whetstone sharpening the knife carefully.
Even Tang Blacksmith, the most patient person in the South Blacksmith Camp, could only stand in front of this kid for two and a half hours.
"Okay, okay, what are you yelling about? I gave you a chance to make a name for myself and you don't know how to cherish it. Go ahead and don't be an eyesore here!" Zhao Yankui said angrily.
"It's better to leave this opportunity to yourself. We are so lucky that we can't bear this blow." Tang Blacksmith said.
Blacksmith Qi could not help but laugh from the side, and Blacksmith Tang turned to glare at him: "You are not a good person, you just know how to laugh here!"
Blacksmith Qi said with an innocent face: "I'm not seeing the joke. I taught Jiang Lin how to quench. If you're to blame, I have to blame the master. He accepted such a good apprentice and didn't teach him. Instead, he left it to us. He felt comfortable." ”
Seeing that both of them were pointing their fingers at him, Zhao Yankui, who knew he was in the wrong, could not say anything, so he could only say: "I'll treat you two to a banquet tomorrow. What are you doing here, ladies? Go to work!”
"Just go ahead and do it in front of your apprentice if you can!" Blacksmith Tang snorted.
Zhao Yankui's face turned dark, this really hit his weak point.
In front of Jiang Lin?
It’s okay to put Master’s music score, but the question is how to put it?
This boy's skills are about to surpass those of ordinary blacksmiths, and his fire-making skills are unique and unmatched.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Come on, admit your defeat...
I feel really proud to have accepted this apprentice, but also feel a little inexplicably inferior.
Being a master is difficult!
Being Jiang Lin's master is even harder!
When Zhao Yankui passed by, Jiang Lin was concentrating on sharpening his knife.
His concentration has always been very concentrated, which is unmatched by many apprentices and even formal blacksmiths.
It seems that as soon as I start working, the whole world disappears and only the things in my hands exist.
Zhao Yankui didn't make a sound to disturb him. He watched carefully from the side, but the more he looked, the more frightened he became.
The blade angle is almost perfect, and the palm holding the blade is as motionless as a rock, but it slides across the whetstone with natural traces.
This shows that his control of strength is also very good.
Zhao Yankui couldn't help but look at the sun outside. How long had it been?
Even counting from last night, it was only four or five hours.
Thinking about it, when I first learned how to sharpen an edge, it took at least a year and a half before I could barely reach this point.
Comparing people to each other makes people angry!
Jiang Lin didn't notice Zhao Yankui standing nearby, concentrating on cutting.
Under the guidance of Blacksmith Tang, my proficiency in sharpening skills improved very quickly!
[Skill 5: Blade Lv5 (Proficiency 9/350)]
[Skill 7: Newly developed at level 5, you can perfectly master the blade angle and the blade force]
The new Level 5 Yu Jing almost allowed Jiang Lin to achieve a very good level of sharpening. If he were to advance to another level, he would probably be able to match or even surpass Tang Blacksmith.
And this improvement speed is faster than expected. Originally, according to the experience of quenching technology, the work should be completed in the evening.
It can only be said that Tang Blacksmith's teachings were so detailed that Jiang Lin gained a huge amount of proficiency almost by leaps and bounds, saving at least half a day.
After a while, Jiang Lin sharpened the long knife in his hand. Before he could check it, a hand took it away.
Looking up, he saw Zhao Yankui standing there, and he quickly stood up: "Master."
Zhao Yankui looked at the long knife again and again. After a long time, his eyes moved to Jiang Lin, and he expressed the most fortunate emotion in his life.
"Fortunately, I accepted you as my disciple in advance. If it were today, even if you wanted to become my disciple, I wouldn't have the face to accept you."
