At this time, the light rain had stopped in Huangcheng, and Tang Xiaowan happily ate the delicacies with Huangcheng characteristics cooked by Leng Lingxiao himself.
There are meat and vegetables, four dishes and one soup.
The restaurant of the old house is very simple with the accumulation of time. The sunlight shines through the dark red windows on the dining table, adding a touch of comfort to this warm afternoon.
However, Tang Mei did not go downstairs.
Halfway through the meal, Tang Xiaowan began to worry again. She put down her chopsticks and looked towards the stairs. The food on her plate suddenly lost its aroma.
"Grandma, why don't you go downstairs to eat? Is it because you feel unwell?"
Leng Lingxiao smiled and comforted: "Didn't Grandma say that I didn't sleep well last night? Don't worry, you'll be fine after a rest."
"Hey, it's all my fault. I kept chatting with grandma, causing her not to have a good rest."
"So tonight...just go to your room and sleep. Don't disturb grandma anymore. Let her have a good rest. Don't worry, grandma won't sneak away. I guarantee it with my personality."
Leng Lingxiao's words hit the nail on the head.
Tang Xiaowan nodded and silently prayed for her grandma in her heart, hoping that she would live a long and healthy life and be with him forever.
…
Two o'clock in the afternoon, Jinghui Tool Factory.
Zhao Renjie slowly drove the car into the factory gate. Instead of going directly to the workshop, he came to the VIP rest area arranged in advance.
At this time, in the locker room, Leng Lingxiao was walking quickly towards Tang Xiaowan. He was holding a brand new set of thickened protective work clothes in his hand.
"Tangtang, come on, put this on."
"To prevent getting burned?"
"Yes, it will be hotter after you go in, bear with me."
"I'm not afraid."
Leng Lingxiao knew that the forging process was extremely dangerous. In order to ensure Tang Xiaowan's safety, she must wear protective work clothes.
He gently put the protective clothing on Tang Xiaowan and buttoned every button carefully.
During this process, Leng Lingxiao not only told Tang Xiaowan how to wear protective clothing correctly, but also repeatedly emphasized the safety matters that need to be paid attention to in the factory area.
His tone was full of care and concern, which made Tang Xiaowan feel warm immediately.
Finally, Leng Lingxiao checked Tang Xiaowan's protective clothing again and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, it looks like that."
"Huahua, it's great to have you by my side." Tang Xiaowan said with a smile and a sweet voice.
"Of course, I'm your fiancé."
A kiss fell on Tang Xiaowan's forehead.
"It's annoying, and you're taking advantage of others!"
Leng Lingxiao didn't answer, and put the helmet on Tang Xiaowan casually. After finishing, he gave her another gentle kiss on the left cheek.
"Okay, we're ready to go."
"You are really getting more and more shameless..."
Leng Lingxiao immediately interrupted with a smile: "Are you getting more and more handsome?"
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, so hurry up and leave."
Tang Xiaowan angrily put down the face shield, pretending not to want to look at Leng Lingxiao again, but in fact it was just to secretly laugh wildly.
After leaving the locker room, Zhao Renjie immediately and respectfully handed over two bottles of mineral water.
"Thank you, Lao Zhao, you are quite thoughtful." Tang Xiaowan took the mineral water, said with a smile, and then took a big sip.
She didn't ask where Zhao Renjie went at noon, thinking that he must be busy with something.
Zhao Renjie straightened his body and replied: "This is all arranged by the master in advance. How can I understand this? You can go visit with the master, I will always be waiting at the door."
Tang Xiaowan didn't answer and left with a smile.
As soon as she entered the workshop, she was shocked by the sight before her and her blood boiled immediately.
Various equipment is arranged orderly in the workshop, workers are busy operating them, and the air is filled with the smell of metal.
Only then did Tang Xiaowan discover that it turned out that it was not just a simple sword processing, but contained many related accessories, including fencing uniforms, fencing masks, fencing gloves and other equipment.
It’s simply a complete one-stop service!
The production line has a clear division of labor, and everyone performs their duties. The workers were not surprised by the arrival of Leng Lingxiao and Tang Xiaowan, because they were already accustomed to such visits.
"Come on, Tangtang, let's go over there." Leng Lingxiao patted Tang Xiaowan on the shoulder and motioned for her to leave the assembly workshop.
"Is this the end?"
"No, it's still early."
Tang Xiaowan obviously hadn't seen enough, her eyes were wide open and she was very reluctant to let go.
"Where to go?"
"Let's go, you'll find out when you get there."
Five minutes later, Leng Lingxiao brought Tang Xiaowan to Wang Jinghui's private area. The atmosphere here was completely different from other workshops.
There is a sign at the door stating that no one is allowed to enter.
The walls are covered with a variety of swords, each exuding a unique charm. In the center of the workshop, Wang Jinghui, dressed in work clothes, was concentrating on something.
"Oh my God, it turns out there is a whole other world!"
"This is his secret base. No one is allowed to come in."
"Well, it is indeed a secret base."
Tang Xiaowan was completely attracted by the sight before her, and she became more interested in forging swords.
She couldn't help but walk closer and carefully observe every detail of Wang Jinghui's carvings.
At this time, Wang Jinghui finally noticed Tang Xiaowan's arrival and said with a smile: "Welcome, welcome. I heard Brother Leng Xian said that you are very interested in forging, especially swords?"
Tang Xiaowan nodded and replied: "Yes, I think forging is very magical and can give weapons unique charm and power."
"Well said, then I will teach you some basic forging skills."
"Wow, thank you big brother!"
"You're welcome, it's a trivial matter."
Immediately, Wang Jinghui stopped what he was doing, pointed at the iron block on the forging table, and said very seriously: "Forging a sword requires a high-quality iron block, so it must be smelted first."
Wang Jinghui walked to the furnace, opened the furnace skillfully, and put the iron in.
As the flame continued to burn, the iron gradually melted. He carefully observed the situation in the furnace and adjusted the heat in a timely manner to ensure that the molten iron was melted just right.
After the smelting was completed, Wang Jinghui immediately took out the molten iron and poured it into a mold.
The molten iron in the mold cooled rapidly, forming a basic sword blank. Wang Jinghui placed the sword blank on the forging table and began his forging performance.
I saw him pick up the hammer and beat the sword blank continuously and rhythmically. With each precise beating, the shape of the sword blank will change subtly, becoming flatter and stronger.
While Wang Jinghui was beating the sword blank, Tang Xiaowan watched very carefully, as if she felt a powerful force calling her.
She likes it very much, even obsessed with it.
Leng Lingxiao watched the whole process and silently took note of it, and a new plan quietly emerged.
"Thumping like this, if done purely by hand, may take several days, or even weeks, to achieve the desired effect." Wang Jinghui said seriously.
"Wow, it's really hard work!"
"So, little sister, time is limited, I will just show you the quenching."
Tang Xiaowan nodded expectantly.
