Waking up early the next day, Liu Heming also felt some of his right arm, which was okay.

Don't look at how many rounds of hammers yesterday, there is not much discomfort in the arm.It is estimated that this is due to the practice of pot kung fu, which made me adapt to such labor intensity.

If the system is unreliable, don’t be unreliable. Occasionally, when it is reliable, it will help you a lot.Loaded the brats into the car again, and headed straight to John.

The bear children saw that they had come to an annoying place again, and they lost interest.

"Okay, I'm mainly worried about leaving you at home. Wait for a while, I'll get you some snacks, so that you won't be too lonely." Liu Heming looked at the two bear children and said helplessly.

"Dexter, I thought you wouldn't be here today." John said as he came out of the repair shop.

"I'm very interested in blacksmithing now, and I can't wait to make a finished horseshoe today." Liu Heming said with a smile. .

"OK, let's try to make the horseshoe out this afternoon, but if you want to continue to build your favorite little things in the future, you need to practice often." John nodded with a smile.

Liu Heming was able to come, he was really happy.I thought he was impulsive yesterday, so I almost called him.

Hearing his words, Liu Heming felt ecstasy in his heart.I just said it casually just now, and I have already prepared for it to take a few days. It is quite interesting to watch John now.

Go to Anderson's small shop and buy some honey and bread, these are the snacks for the bear children.Anyway, as long as there is food, they will be very happy.

After returning here, Liu Heming also strictly followed John's instructions and began to play horseshoes.

It was the same bar from yesterday, except that John threw the bar into the small stove and burned the middle of it.

"The horseshoe needs to be made into a U shape, so it needs to be hammered first, otherwise it will be easy to break." John explained.

"Your horseshoe is much simpler without size requirements. If you really need to use it for horses, you need to measure the size in advance. Horseshoes are shoes for horses. a burden."

Liu Heming nodded, he could understand these things.

This time I put on goggles, after all, I was going to beat the red-hot iron for a while.Liu Heming had a little bit of expectation in his heart, not only because of the task, but because of the blacksmithing itself.

Making an object is inherently fun.Liu Heming's heart expanded a little bit, will he be able to build a kitchen knife and iron pan that are commonly used in China in the future?The kitchen knife cuts vegetables smoothly, and the stewed vegetables in the big pot are extra fragrant.

John took out the red-hot iron bar in the middle, and then beat it a few times to show Liu Heming, and left the rest of the work to him.

Really beating the red-hot iron is different from yesterday's practice.It was a little roasted, and Liu Heming started sweating after beating for a while.

In fact, John decided to let him make horseshoes directly because he felt that he was quick to get started.Interest has to be cultivated, what if Liu Heming's interest fades?Where else would I go to find a little partner to forge with me?Moreover, there is no size requirement for the horseshoe this time, and there is no need to adjust back and forth at all, so it is very easy to make.

After the iron bar was repeatedly beaten by Liu Heming several times, it was finally approved by John, and it could be beaten into a U-shape of a horseshoe.

This requires the use of the tip of the anvil, but John also reminded Liu Heming that it must be hit accurately.Otherwise, no matter how strong the left hand is, it will smash the iron bar into the air.

The first few hits were okay, but when Liu Heming just relaxed a little, he smashed a little crookedly.Fortunately, it didn't go too far, it just let the iron bar fall to the ground, but this also scared Liu Heming into a cold sweat, and he was more careful when he smashed it afterwards.

"Zi La"

After John lifted the iron bar out of the bucket again, he nodded in satisfaction, "This arc is enough, now we need to slot the horseshoe, so that nails can be driven into the horseshoe to help fix it. Slot, flush After the hole, polish it a little bit, and your horseshoe is considered successful."

"So simple?" Liu Heming asked with a smile.

"It's very simple. If there is fast heating equipment, a skilled blacksmith can make one in less than half an hour. This is the kind that has size requirements." John ordered seriously. nod.

"This one of yours is a gift for Alex, so there is no size requirement, as long as it looks good. But it will take some time to polish later, I will send you some sandpaper, and I have a polishing machine here. "

"By the way, if you are interested, you can also leave a mark on your horseshoe. In this way, every time you make one successfully in the future, you can leave your own symbol, which will be very fulfilling."

Not to mention, Liu Heming was really tempted by what John said.

"John, is it easy to make such a mark?" Liu Heming asked.

"Look at how your pattern is designed. Today we can make horseshoes first, and then slowly make marks." John nodded with a smile.

At this time, the horseshoe in the stove was also heated. In order to shorten the time, the whole thing was heated.John handed Liu Heming a long pointed hammer, which looked like a small axe.

"Put it on the part where the groove is going to be made, and just smash it down hard." John said.

Liu Heming nodded, set up the small hammer, and then smashed down the hammer with his right hand.After taking out the small hammer, a small groove was smashed out here.

With this operation, Liu Heming found the way, and after the temperature of the horseshoe dropped, he threw it into the stove again, and took it out after it was heated red.Repeated several times, the groove in the middle of the horseshoe was opened.

At this time, John took out a slightly longer iron nail from the side, "This is a punching tool. It should be noted that it must be aligned with the hole on the anvil, otherwise it will be smashed crooked."

Liu Heming was a little excited, as long as these holes were flushed out, his mission would be completed, and he would be able to have another lucky draw.

This is a heaven-defying lottery. Sweet potatoes are so amazing. If they get some special crops, it will take a year or two to pay off the debts.

It was almost as he had expected, except that it was not after the punching was completed, but after he took the punched horseshoe out of the water, the sound of the system came from his ear.
