Chapter 104 Chapter 104 The "Five Drums" Rules of Quasi-craftsman

As soon as the hour of the middle is approaching, the child servant will be reported to the outside world.

Xie Ju leaned against the desk to relieve numbness of his feet and asked: "Does the girl know why the night is divided into five updates?"

Wang Ge Huanzhen knew the reason and replied: "The original meaning is change, and the original meaning is rotation, successive, and experience. The fifth update, also called the Five Nights and Five Drums, all use the ‘Five’ as festivals. The first month of heaven is the beginning, and the first month is Yin, from Yin to Wu, Wu to evening, and evening to Yin. Regardless of winter and summer, the length of time they experience between them is only six, not four, and often between five festivals. Therefore, the fifth update also symbolizes life experience."

"The fifth update is also called the Five Drums. Since the girl knows these, it seems that the county magistrate has already told you the rules of the craftsman exam."

Wang Ge's smile froze and explained: "The county magistrate only allowed me to go to the craftsman exam in May, but did not disclose the rules. I know that the 'Five Updates, Five Drums' was taught by a good-looking man in the village." It was what she remembered when Huan Zhen taught Tiger Head.

Furthermore, what is the connection between the fifth update and the fifth drum exam with the "Quanzhishi" exam?

"The county magistrate is very cautious. According to reason, the rules should not be revealed. However, there are craftsmen in each family to compete. Every year, only the Nanshan villas have at least hundreds of craftsmen. Year after year, in order to compete for the fifty quasi-craftsmen, how can we not leak the news?"

Wang Ge thought: The ruler, rule and rule that the county magistrate asked her to make must be related to the examination content.

Xie Ji misunderstood her thoughts and comforted her: "Don't worry, girl, I will tell you what I know now."

The Qualified Craftsman Test is by no means a selection competition held by officials from each county for the next "Craftsman Competition". In this test, the rules of each county, including the county and county towns of the county seat, are almost the same.

How could Xie Ju ask the "Five Updates" for no reason? In fact, it implies that the "Five Drums" during the exam: famous drums are not as good as drums, timing drums, famous drums in the village, and rattle drums.

After all candidates enter the examination room, the timing drum will be played first. At every moment, a drum will be sounded. This drum is mounted on the four corners of each examination area, which will urge and interfere with the candidates.

The first test item: Giant straight ruler marking. The material of the straight ruler is either bamboo or wood, with a length of more than one zhang. Be careful, only mark the "size distance"! Do not mark the "score, inch" line segment! Candidates can choose one end as the starting point, and use a carving knife to draw a vertical line every one foot away. The carving ends when the other end is less than "one foot away".

After the marking is finished, the craftsman uses standard molds to measure it. After passing, the drummer beats the famous drum. Then the candidate enters the second area and leaves the field by himself. If he is eliminated, he will leave the field by himself. Beat the drum in the exit passage. It is worse than the craftsman exam. The eliminated person only needs to shout "not as good as the skill" and does not need to report his hometown or name.

The second test item: Giant moment ruler marking. The moment ruler material is wood. The starting point is with the junction at right angles. The long end direction is more than one zhang, and only the "inclined distance" is not marked, and the "dividing distance" is not marked; the short end direction is more than half zhang, and only the "dividing distance" is not marked, and the "inclined distance" is not marked. Similarly, all the markings end with the end not being "dividing distance, inclined distance".

The third test item: Making a "book goblet". Wang Ge already found it difficult for the first two items. After Hu Zi finished talking about the third item, her scalp was numb. Master Guo once said that the wooden slip that could be written on each side was called "book goblet, book goblet". Wang Ge understood this object as a polygonal wooden stick.

The craftsman provides the candidates with wooden rules in turn, only observing and not touching. Then, based on the "minimum triangular and most eight-edged" goblet material provided, the edges and corners that meet the angle of the wooden rules are corrected. Observation, and the total length of the goblet material is corrected, according to the number of edges and corners, respectively, one to two quarters of hours.

The process of making goblets is scheduled separately. From the beginning of the announcement by the craftsman, the drum officer must sway the rattle next to the candidate to disturb the candidate. The rattle stops and the candidate stops making the instrument.

And these are just the beginning of the Quasi-Chengshi exam. In layman's terms, they are the elimination of all candidates who are not rigorous in terms of rules and are not rigorous in their ability to do so.

The fourth exam item: The candidate quickly enters the mold making area and selects the mold. Therefore, the faster the first three items are, the more beneficial the fourth item. This item is the same as the rules of the craftsmanship exam, and is a test of the candidate's overall grasp of rules and sizes.

The fifth test item: When the candidate enters the utensil area, there are various types of utensils used in life or rare utensils. Candidates can choose utensils according to their own abilities and improve their functions. A wooden sign will be erected in front of each utensil, indicating the name, purpose, and minimum standards for improvement. If the candidate is illiterate, he can ask for help from the craftsman by typing the "Qingtan's Name Drum".

"After the drum is playing, you must shout...Ba Zhixiang, Wang Ge, illiterate." Xie Ji said that he laughed, and his shoulders were trembling with laughter. "That's all, what's wrong?"

It’s much harder than craftsmanship exams!

Wang Ge imagined that if he really wanted to play the famous drum in the hometown because he was illiterate, the scene would be so embarrassing. "In five months, I will learn a lot of words."

"Don't underestimate it." Xie Ju stopped smiling and reminded her: "Those characters are not all simplified characters, and there are even Yinxu Qiwen. When we go to Shanyin County for the craftsman competition in September, the township drums will become county famous drums. At that time, the writing cards of all kinds of utensils will be Yinxu Qiwen and seal script!"

"In other words, if I read less, I will not only lose my face, but also my face in the village and county."

"Yes. Especially when taking the exam in Shanyin County, the scene will definitely be spectacular. At that time, the examiner, the craftsman, and the candidates will not remember the names of others? They will only remember that the Taoyi County... is illiterate, Taoyi County... is illiterate. Haha!" Xie Ke hilariously, Wang Ge's face was confused, and he hit the wooden hammer again and again, and he called the county name, and he smiled and fell on the case.

"If you don't say help me, I'll laugh at me, I'll give you nothing to eat fish."

"Himmer!" The child quickly and solemnly said, "I am friends with Germain, and I should inform you about something. My father is the owner of the Nanshan Villa."

"Actually, when you scolded the retired craftsman that day, I could guess how many points."

"Well. Also, my father has two preferences: raising cranes and fish."

"So, was Baihe tamed by your father?"

"yes."

" Raise cranes, raise fish... Huh? Cranes eat fish?"

"Cough!" Xie Ju raised his jaw and signaled the small pile of waste behind her.

Not good! Wang Ge turned around and picked up the rotten fish head that had been stuck to the wooden block, which had changed color, and still wanted to confirm again: "Huzi, what kind of fish did your father... raise? How big?"

"The girl guessed that it was right. It was them, red carp."

At this time, Jiashe Village.

The sound of firecrackers has been much less, and every household is surrounded by the elders, either listening, expressing their expectations for the year, and also opening up the land in spring, so as to stay up to the New Year in this way.

In the main house of the Wang family, there were only Wang Weng, Jia Yu, Changfang and Huan Zhen.

Huan Zhen's words just now surprised them and had to make another plan. The labor force at home did decrease, but because of the oxen, I still wanted to reclaim a few acres of wasteland.

But what Huan Zhen said was: "In August, Qinghezhuang will recruit a group of young children to enter primary school. Mrs. Weng, I will send Ah Hui to school as a formal schoolchild. Qinghezhuang is the manor of the Wang family of Langya. Wang family elementary school was previously slightly inferior to the Nanshan villa where Age was located. However, from August, they will hire famous scholars again, hoping that Mrs. Weng will consider...migrating."
