Chapter 544 The wooden tiger frightens the horse(1/2)

Because it was late at night, Li Mengxi took his younger brother back to rest. After that, because the matter was not finished, Li Mengxi did not go to rest immediately, but went to the carpenter camp.

In the middle of the night, Li Mengxi arrived at the Carpenter's Camp. Even when the war is in a state of anxiety, the CPPCC is still operating normally.

When Li Mengxi arrived, it happened that everyone in the craftsman was about to finish work and go to bed.

The carpenters put down the axe, saw, planes, chiseled wooden bowls, cut fast pieces and spokes, and by the bonfire, put away the wheels made of fire, packed up everything and everything, ready to finish their busy schedule.

Li Mengxi arrived and found Lu Li directly.

When Lu Li saw Li Mengxi, he knew that another urgent military service had arrived, otherwise he would not have been asked in the middle of the night.

At this time, the carpenters who were about to finish the work saw Li Mengxi and stopped leaving, but came over at the same time.

This is unreasonable.

Generally speaking, workers who work for a day and for most of the night are not too late to hide, so they can't take the initiative to get in.

But now this is the case, the carpenters are moving forward against common sense and looking forward to life.

From this we can see how high the production enthusiasm and subjective initiative of carpenters are stimulated.

Li Mengxi stood there and was about to explain to Lu Li when he suddenly saw a lot of people around him.

When I looked up, the carpenters all surrounded me.

"Military advisor, what's the job?"

"Yes, what's the job?"

The carpenters asked.

Li Mengxi thought again and said that it took everyone's power, and everyone was there, just right.

So Li Mengxi asked, "Who knows, what a tiger looks like?"

"Come on!"

"Why don't you?"

"I've seen a tiger."

The carpenters are talking.

When Li Mengxi thought, it was the same.

According to the environmental conditions at the end of the Han Dynasty, there were many wild animals such as tigers and leopards, which were not too rare.

Nodding, Li Mengxi asked again, "Who would use wood to carve a tiger? It's 70% or 80% of the time, I'm very useful."

The carpenters who had seen a tiger last moment said that they had seen a tiger, but when they heard that Li Mengxi wanted a wooden tiger, they stopped talking.

After a while, a carpenter whispered, "No, who can carve a tiger?"

The same is true for the carpenters next to them, all looking embarrassed.

Using wood to carve tigers is a high-end craft. It is understandable that these ordinary carpenters can't carve dragons and phoenixes.

Li Mengxi couldn't help scratching his head, frowned and thought for a while. Li Mengxi looked up at the carpenters and asked again, "Then... it's not like it, it's like it, it's like it for 400% or 50% or 50% or 100% or 100% or 100% or 100% or 100% or 100% or 100% or 100% or 100% or 100% or 100% or 100% or 100% or 100% or 100% or 100% or 100% or 100% or 100% or 100% or 100% or 100% or 100% or 100% or 100% or 100% or 100% or 100% or 100% or 100% or

Maybe it was too difficult to carve a tiger, and no one answered it.

Just when Li Mengxi was thinking about not doing it.

"Carry a tiger, I will." A small sound came from behind the crowd.

Li Mengxi immediately looked at the sound, and there were people all around, and he couldn't see the back.

When the carpenters heard the sound, they also looked back and looked back.

"Who answers? Come, come ahead."

A military craftsman walked out from behind the crowd.

The reason why this person is said to be a military craftsman is because he is wearing a red Han military uniform and a set of leather armor. In this uniform of the Han regular army, it is very rare among the rebels.

When Li Mengxi saw this person's clothes, he looked up at the strange face of this person. After thinking for a while, he understood.

This man should have been dug from Dong Zhuo's army. He was Lu Zhi's old subordinate and military craftsman under Lu Zhi's command.

Just now, this person said he could carve a tiger.

Li Mengxi was calculating, straightened his body and bowed, "Does uncle carve a tiger? Our army needs great use, so I dare to ask for help."

Li Mengxi would not value politeness so much to ordinary people.

Li Mengxi was not so polite to let ordinary carpenters do their work.

The reason why he deliberately valued etiquette was that Li Mengxi observed his words and expressions just now, and realized that the military craftsman's expression was a little cold, not as warm as other carpenters.

Li Mengxi thought that the other party might not be easy to get along with, so he just gave this courtesy.

Li Mengxi, who had been with Liu Bei for a long time, learned a little bit of understanding of the world.

Sure enough, Li Mengxi treated each other politely, and the military craftsman with a cold expression suddenly turned into a smile on his face.

This man smiled, "The tiger is easy to hear! But, the tiger sleeps and wakes up, lying on the tiger and leaping on the tiger and sickens. What tiger does the young general want to use?"

Experts will know if there is any one.

If you can reveal various forms of tigers such as sleeping tigers and awakening tigers, then this person's ability to wither and fierce tigers has been revealed.

Li Mengxi smiled and said, "I want to use a fierce tiger to intimidate the enemy cavalry. It is a deterrent, but it must be the most fierce tiger-shaped one.

I dare to ask the master craftsman, which kind of tiger shape is the most fierce and compulsive person?"

Li Mengxi's words "Grandcraftsman" made the military craftsman smile.

Military craftsman said, "The angry tiger is the most fierce."

Li Mengxi blinked and said in surprise, "Oh? Why are the tigers going down the mountain fierce? What about the tiger going up the mountain?"

The military craftsman laughed and said, "The young general doesn't know that the tiger goes down the mountain, because of a hungry tiger. He is about to eat people and beasts down the mountain. The tiger goes up the mountain, and the tiger has already eaten full and returns to the mountain. How can it be fierce?"

Li Mengxi suddenly realized and then smiled.

I see.

Here is the difference between the tiger up the mountain and the tiger down the mountain.

I couldn't help but look at the military craftsman, who was in his thirties and in his prime, with a dark and strong face.

Li Mengxi couldn't help but feel whispered in his heart. Could it be that he had met a talented person who knew Menghu?

Later generations were Tang Bohu good at painting tigers, and the person in front of him was good at carving tigers. That is, is this high-level carpenter who is good at carving birds and animals considered a senior talent?

When I think about it, it's true.

Art talents are also talents, and they are rare talents.

Not to mention anything else, it is not possible for ordinary people to do something like a tiger-headed swallowing shoulder-pillars to be used on the shield, or to make a tiger-headed pendant.

Afterwards, Li Mengxi followed the military craftsman to find materials to carve the tiger.

After searching on the wooden cart for a while, the military craftsman came over and said in a dilemma that wood is not good, there is no big wood.

According to the military craftsman, the big tree that two people hugged each other can barely wither a half-large tiger withered.

When Li Mengxi heard this, he was so powerful that he could carve a complete tiger.

But how big is a complete tiger? It is much bigger than an old cow, so it is naturally difficult to find a big enough tree.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Since the wood is not big enough, Li Mengxi said, "There is no need to carve a whole tiger, only the tiger's head and neck are carved. The tiger's head is a little more ferocious. Let's use the branches to scatter the tiger's body."

When the military craftsman thought that the wood was not big enough, he could only do this.

Then, the military craftsman picked a large poplar tree to be carved.

The carpenters helped lift the tree wheels to a cart that was upside down.

At this time, the excellence of the Zhuozhou Army's logistics system was reflected in the details.

When the army was marching outside, it was difficult to find flat land in the wilderness if it needed wood work. The Zhuozhou Army had already realized this problem earlier. At that time, the solution was to collect some door panels and put them on the ground as a workbench, or the cart could be turned upside down to provide flat land.

Although the Zhuozhou Army is now simple, it can be seen everywhere.

When the Ming Dynasty was marching outside, the working environment of carpenters in the Zhuozhou army was not even better than that of some ordinary country carpenters working at home.

Ordinary country carpenters have poor families and don’t even have door panels, so they can only do carpentry work on the ground. How can the ground be flatter than on the door panels? Moreover, ordinary country carpenters rarely fill their stomachs by doing carpenter work and often do work hungry. However, carpenters in Zhuozhou army will not be hungry, and the working conditions of both sides are completely different. Also, the carpenters in Zhuozhou army have abundant tools, and each person has more than a dozen extra tools to choose from, so they can pick very easy tools. However, poor country carpenters can’t even say that they are just a gap-cut axe and a broken chisel, which is extremely shabby. In terms of materials, the wood of the entire Zhuozhou army is supplied to the carpenter camp for use, and there is no good wood, but ordinary common wood can be said to be endless.

All aspects are added up, which is amazing. Ming was halfway through the marching and Ming was working in the wild. The bowls produced by carpenters in Zhuozhou army were even more high-quality than ordinary country goods.

After finding the wood, the military craftsman began to be busy.

The military craftsman first tied the wood to the car with a rope and fixed it. Then he took a very small adze and started chiseling here and there. The wood chips were chiseled off bit by bit. At first glance, he didn't realize anything. After a while, Li Mengxi gradually began to see the outline of the tiger's head.

Li Mengxi couldn't help but think that he is worthy of being Lu Zhi's man and a serious military craftsman. He is indeed more capable.

On the side, the torches are clear.

The other carpenters who were supposed to go back to sleep would not go to bed anymore. They looked around with torches, and looked at the crowd of people incredibly strange shapes.

Li Mengxi also thought it was interesting to carve a tiger. He wanted to see the tail from the beginning and see how the tiger was carved, but there were other things to do, so he couldn't stay here forever.

Li Mengxi touched the military craftsman with his hand and said, "Be busy first, I'll come here later."

The military craftsman was stunned for a moment, and the adzi in his hand stopped, "Ah! Not busy!"

The military craftsman replied to the question that he was not asking.

When Li Mengxi left the carpenter camp, he naturally had something to do.

Li Mengxi remembered that the tiger and tiger skin were colorful and gorgeous, which was an important capital for tigers to intimidate groups of beasts.

Although the wooden tiger has a tiger shape, the dull and dark color of the wood is not only unintimidating, but also very stupid.

War horses may be afraid of colorful tiger skins, but only in a very small way, they will be afraid of wood, even if the wood looks like a tiger.

Thinking of this, Li Mengxi felt that he had to find a way to make the wooden tiger colorful, and he could find pigments to draw tiger patterns, animal fur, and make tiger patterns.

How many colors does a tiger have? Brown, white, and black, roughly these three colors.

Use yellow fur such as yellow dogs, weasels, yellow foxes, and the white fur of white dogs, white rabbits, and then use black dog skin and black rabbits. As long as you know the color of the tiger fur, you can use mixed skins to make up the tiger skin.
