The well-tempered recording studio of USA TV station in Pittsburgh, USA.

In Ge Xiaohua's hand, he held the head of a wild boar spear that was carefully protected with a leather sheath. Its light was hidden in the leather sheath.

Sitting next to him, waiting for the recording technology, was an American white man. He was extremely fat and had a greasy face. He was amusing himself like a monkey, which was undoubtedly a mockery of Ge Xiaohua.

As the blacksmiths came on stage one by one to show their works to the judges, and experimented with the power of wild boar spears, when it was time for Ge Xiaohua to record, he took a deep breath, strode into the spotlight, and walked into the spotlight without being humble or haughty. He could see

When the camera consciously shoots downwards, specifically not to show Ge Xiaohua's head, even if there is a picture of his head, it will be mosaicized in the later stage. This is the biggest humiliation for a person who has traveled thousands of miles to participate in the show.

But Ge Xiaohua has thought clearly. If he withdraws from the competition now, it means that he has given up. He is not representing an individual, but the dignity of a country!

"Blacksmith, please show your work." There are five judges on the stage. In addition to being a professional blacksmith, most of them are directors, TV station leaders and so on. They are considered amateurs. This is an audition, not a formal competition. Selection

The winner of the wild boar spear forging will participate in the next competition, but they don't think it will be Ge Xiaohua.

Ge Xiaohua pulled out the spear sheath, and the astigmatism of the wild boar spear was particularly dazzling under the light. The judges were all attracted. In appearance, Ge Xiaohua borrowed from the Chinese red tassel spear. The graceful arc and shape of the war hair made the appearance more beautiful than the traditional spear.

The boar spear is more exquisite.

The traditional Nordic wild boar spear emphasizes a simple style. It is made for killing and has primitive beauty. However, it ignores the aspect that the weapon is the soul of the warrior. The shape must also be taken into account, otherwise how can it be maintained in daily life?

Attentive to maintenance?

"It looks very beautiful, but is it as useless as the cold weapons made by your country? Chinese knockoffs?" One of the judges sneered wantonly. He was the assistant director Jim, who hated the items produced in China and was very hostile to Chinese people.

It's absolutely discriminatory, that's why he deliberately embarrasses Ge Xiaohua, he is the culprit!

Ge Xiaohua glanced at it and saw his name and position. Combined with John's words, he was able to understand it. Without saying anything, he began to use the wild boar spear blade as a dagger and cut across the row of iron racks on the stage used to test the sharpness.

There are as many as 20 apples fixed on the line.

Ge Xiaohua's hand was very steady, and he cut across the apple shelf with lightning speed. Under the exclamation of everyone, all 20 apples were cut in half without any hesitation. You must know that so far, there is no sharpness.

The spear blades were comparable to Ge Xiaohua's. Some made ten cuts, but each cut was uneven, and some had several cuts. The obstruction caused by the apples made the cutting not so easy.

"Wow, is this how sharp the magical wild boar spear should be? 20 apples were cut completely, and the incision was extremely smooth." The cameraman may have received a hint from the host and quickly moved the camera from Ge Xiaohua to the apples.

on the incision.

"The sharpness is very good, but the durability and sturdiness need to be tested." While the judges were discussing, Ge Xiaohua picked up a hammer on the stage and beat the wild boar spear, as if to vent his dissatisfaction.

After Ge Xiaohua beat him, the spearhead was unscathed. When the camera zoomed in, it could be seen that there was not even a scratch on the spearhead.

"Wow, this wild boar spear is so sophisticated, so sharp and strong."

Then the host couldn't help it any longer. He and Ge Xiaohua got the spear blade, attached it to the spear shaft, and waved it in front of the camera. The host, who was excited, held the wild boar spear and pierced the straw target on the stage. He was still very skilled.

After some practice, Ge Xiaohua was completely ignored.

After recording the program, Ge Xiaohua packed his things and was about to leave the TV station. John stopped him and said, "Watson, where are you going? Are you going back to the hotel?"

"Go back home."

"Why?"

"Isn't the recording of the program over?" Ge Xiaohua, apart from scratching an apple with a spear blade and beating the spearhead at the beginning, basically all the judges and hosts were beaming with joy. There was no footage of him. At first, Ge Xiaohua thought that he would become famous after coming to the United States.

After being gilded, my worth doubled when I returned to my country, and I could consider myself a master. Now it seems that this mentality is wrong. We still need to maintain our original intention and work steadily.

"Watson, don't be angry. In this competition, your overall score is the highest. There will be one last recording session to test the true power of the wild boar spear outdoors."

"What's the meaning?"

"Just impaling a real boar with a boar spear!"

"So bloody?"

"The United States just likes to play with reality!"

Ge Xiaohua thought about it for a moment. Anyway, he didn't book a flight ticket. He wanted to play with the Yankees and do a full set of stunts. Anyway, he held back his anger and hit the spear head with a hammer on the TV station. In addition to testing the sturdiness of the wild boar spear,

It is also a means of venting.

The next day, somewhere on the outskirts of Pittsburgh, the TV station prepared several wild boars in advance. These wild boars were all real wild boars and were extremely ferocious.

In Northeast China, there is a saying that there are one pig, two bears and three tigers, which shows how powerful the wild boar is. Even if it encounters a tiger, the wild boar will not be afraid. Its powerful sprinting ability is like a meat grinder.

The fat American who laughed at Ge Xiaohua took the wild boar spear he made and mounted it on the shaft. He walked tremblingly into the animal cage, where a 200-pound wild boar was waiting for him.

"I, I, I give up!" Seeing the wild boar with its teeth and claws, the fat American, who was originally in the middle or lower stage in terms of comprehensive scores such as sharpness, sturdiness, appearance, etc., gave up directly. The score in the actual combat test stage occupied a large part.

Proportion, completeness means failure.

"Coward!" Ge Xiaohua cursed, ignoring the American who almost peed in fear, and boldly entered the iron cage.

"Wait!" Assistant Director Jim came over at some unknown time and whispered with the staff. For some unknown reason, the iron cage was replaced with a stronger wild boar, weighing about 200 kilograms, which was heavier than the previous wild boar.

It was twice as big and had sharp tusks. It took a lot of effort to drive this wild boar into the cage.

"The difference in treatment is so obvious?" Ge Xiaohua was not angry, holding a wild boar spear with a high-quality spear shaft installed. When choosing the spear shaft, he deliberately selected it carefully to prevent someone from using an inferior spear shaft to taint him.

, but the Americans have not yet reached this level of insidiousness, so Ge ​​Xiaohua is still confident.

As the saying goes, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. Ge Xiaohua came to the United States and learned a valuable social lesson. The American dream is not as easy as the Chinese imagined. Even for a craftsman like Ge Xiaohua, it was a long journey when he first set foot in the United States.
