Chapter 162 The Second Think Tank
Wang Ge stood up and left the house without saying anything. She had bowed and apologized to the other party last night, what else did she want to do? From now on, before nightfall, she would practice the skill of inserting wood into the orifice, and after nightfall, she would practice bamboo silk. She could adjust the practice time, but she could not
He surrendered to Madam Zheng in front of everyone.
Emergency training camp, what is emergency? What is training? Whoever wants to live comfortably should not have come in the first place!
Mrs. Lin stood out of the door and called everyone over. She envied and praised: "Look, she is the first to go out again. Craftsman Wang Zhun is so young, but he can endure hardships and work harder than us. You see,
She doesn't even go to the toilet."
Mrs. Meng squeezed out and said: "From today on, I want to learn from her. Go to the material area early and wait to feel at ease, otherwise you won't be able to get fixed tasks at all."
Lady Xu catches up with Lady Meng.
Mrs. Lin said happily: "I'll go too."
A few more people followed.
When Wang Ge heard the noise, he looked back and opened the courtyard door. Two bundled bamboo pieces fell down with a long hemp rope.
Oh my god! A mission of luck? All the craftsmen girls came running over.
Wang Ge immediately remembered what she heard last night and said, "I want to grab a fixed task today." She couldn't do this luck task because it would leave her with the discomfort of cheating.
Let's talk about Xie Yi, who is already a thief. He called Lu thief Cao to pass by here early in the morning. When they saw Wang Ge leaving, they looked at each other.
Lu Thief Cao was the officer who arrested the two think tanks the day before yesterday. He had been instructed by the officials to cooperate with Xie Yi and drive all the remaining eight so-called "think tanks" out of Lin Muyuan.
Last night, the two of them were patrolling the night and caught a sneaky craftsman who went out of the courtyard privately. Cao, the thief from Lu, slapped both of them, and all the sneaky craftsmen were killed.
As expected, he was from Sima Chong.
This person confessed that his teammate was a craftsman who lived in the same courtyard as Wang Ge. The news conveyed by the craftsman was that Wang Ge was the first to leave the hospital every morning. So he fabricated a tricky destiny and hid it in the courtyard.
On the door, I want Wang Ge to find out that if he works all day in vain, and then the craftsman's wife gossips, Wang Ge will be laughed at by everyone.
The sneaky craftsman was imprisoned in the firewood house that night. Wang Ge heard something strange at the courtyard door last night. It was Xie Yi who inserted a real mission of luck into the door panel. Wang Ge was a fellow sect member of his younger brother Hu Zi, so he could take advantage of his authority.
Give her benefits, why not?
But he didn't expect that Wang Ge left without picking him up.
Madam Zheng picked up the bamboo pieces, her haggard look much better. "If you don't want it, then I will."
Madam Xu snorted disdainfully: It's not that no one wants it, but it's just that no one is too embarrassed to pick it up, so you can take the lead.
Miss Lin urged: "Look what kind of mission it is, let me get lucky too."
Neither Lady Meng nor Lady Xu were waiting here to listen, and each headed in the direction of the material area.
Madam Zheng was relieved when she saw no one objected. She happily untied the hemp rope and was stunned for a moment: "There are so many words, I can't recognize them all."
Xie and Yi came over. When they were removing the hemp rope to seal the cracks in the door last night, Xie Yi took the opportunity to peek at the content of the task. He pretended to read: "To carve a crane out of wood, it must have a graceful posture. Bring your own materials. After making the vessel, hand it over to
The residence officials will inspect it."
Madam Zheng panicked: "Crane? Where have I seen a crane?"
Mrs. Lin sympathized and said, "I wish I had known better than to choose him."
These words made Mrs. Zheng even more aggrieved, because this matter had nothing to do with Wang Ge. She had shamelessly picked it up, and everyone was watching.
What should she do? She had never seen a crane, and even if she heard someone describe its general appearance, she could not imitate its graceful posture.
The rest of the craftsmen couldn't be said to be gloating about their misfortune. Some were glad that they didn't have the nerve to take this task just now, and some were already worried. What if they encountered this task in the future?
Mrs. Lin: "I have heard people talk about this task before, and sure enough, unfinished tasks will continue to appear. Do you remember? I specifically mentioned this in the residence that day, just to see the people in our courtyard.
Have you ever seen a crane? If you have, just draw it on the ground to let us know what a crane looks like. It’s a pity, alas.”
What's the use of talking nonsense now? Madam Zheng was irritated: "None of us are from aristocratic families, how many of us have seen a crane? This task is deliberately difficult."
Miss Lin: "Yes, who has such a good background to see a crane? If I have really seen a crane, it's not like I didn't mention it in the dormitory. For the sake of living in the same room, I should at least draw a picture for us.
Just for a moment without wasting time."
Xie Yi calmly flicked his finger, and the direction of the flick was Mrs. Lin. Cao Cao, the thief in the land, understood that this craftsman's wife, who seemed to be trying to persuade her, but was actually making a fuss, was probably the sneaky craftsman's teammate.
The time has come.
Wang Ge rushed into the bamboo pile in Area C of Bamboo Materials. The last place where she did the task of separating bamboo shreds was Area B.
There are one male and one female craftsman here.
Including Lian Wangge, only three people received fixed tasks from Cizhu Liao.
The task is: within one hour, weave three kinds of interesting bamboo cages. They must include round cages, square cages, and irregular cages. There is no limit on the size. Either practical or beautiful. The person with the lowest standard will be considered a failure.
Those who pass this task can apply for the Cizhu Small Weapon Making County Competition three days later.
After the craftsman said this, he continued: "Hard work will definitely pay off. In Shanyin County, county-level competitions are held several to more than ten times a month. There is no shortage of competitions, so don't be anxious every time.
Sign up. It will not be easy for you to enter the emergency training camp. You still have to focus on improving basic skills and participating in competitions as a supplement. Because in every county-level competition, there will be a penalty counting from half of the number of people competing. Remember,
After passing the craftsman competition, the road to craftsmanship has just begun, and it is not too late to compete at that time."
The female craftsman waited for him to finish speaking and then led Wang Ge and the others into the production area.
Timer, start!
The only tool is a bamboo knife; the materials are bamboo stalks that have been cut and knotted; there are also auxiliary materials: hemp rope and a brazier (baking bamboo to bend it and deform it).
It is required to make three exquisite utensils in one hour, some are round, some are square, some are irregular, so it is certain that only small utensils can be made.
First of all, don’t choose bamboo stalks that are too long.
Secondly, weaving with thin bamboo silk is excluded because time does not allow. The only tool provided is a bamboo knife, which also shows this point.
The width of the bamboo slices produced by Wang Ge is more than one pitch (3 mm). The thickness is layered quickly, and the bamboo knife cooperates with the mouth to tear.
Breaking bamboo strips with your mouth is a basic skill for beginners. If the thickness is not strict, this skill is actually quite easy to learn.
The advantage is that it is fast!
Thorn...thorn...
Thorn...thorn...
The sounds of tearing bamboo overlapped. The three would-be craftsmen all adopted this method.
The two craftsmen exchanged glances and nodded in approval: none of these three people were affected by the warning from the county competition just now.
What makes a craftsman better than a craftsman is not only the skill, but also the state of mind. As long as you pick up materials and tools, you must eliminate distracting thoughts.
Wang Geliu used two kinds of bamboo slices. Although they are both green bamboo strips, one is closest to the inner wall and the other is closest to the green skin. The depth of their colors is related to the beautiful combination of the small rolling lamp.
For a moment, she really couldn't think of making anything else, so she just made a rolling lamp.
Large rolling lanterns and small rolling lanterns are not made in the same way. The exquisiteness of large rolling lanterns relies on pasting colorful silk on the outside of the cage, so the bamboo strips are tied with hemp rope inside, so there is no need to be too particular about it. On the contrary, the small rolling lanterns are admired for their hollow
pattern.
And even though this kind of rolling lamp is small, it has to be a double-layer cage.
While fixed tasks were in full swing in the Bamboo Material Area, Miss Lin was taken into a firewood hut by Xie Yi and Lu Cao on her way to find luck.
When she met the sneaky craftsman, she immediately collapsed and sat on the ground.
Lu Cao, the thief, grabbed her shoulders and dragged her over to face the craftsman: "Do you two want to go to jail or do you want to be here?"
"You can't judge me!" Miss Lin thought of Sima Chong's identity and felt confident. She raised her head and said, "You'd better let me go. There are some things I can't let you know. It's for your own good that we were sent here."
, you can’t afford to offend!”
Xie Yi: "Sima Chong also said this to you?"
Lu Thief Cao turned his face away, wanting to block his ears. The two people he arrested last time, when Lu Thief Cao found out that the royal family was involved, he was so frightened that he couldn't sleep all night. He was so scared.
Mrs. Lin's voice trembled: "You, how did you know?"
Xie Yi knelt down, took a piece of firewood, and hit her twice on the cheek. Mrs. Lin was so frightened that she stared at the firewood sideways, her teeth chattering.
Xie Yi smiled sinisterly (he practiced in front of the bronze mirror before coming) and said: "Do you know what my nickname is? Shanyin girl is sad! I am!" He twirled the log and returned with a fan.
"Ah, I'll do it!" Miss Lin screamed.
Chapter completed!
