Increased Bamboo Festival

That night, Wang Ge's right side was empty. Previously, Madam Miao stood between her and Madam Hu. No one wanted to be watched by despicable people all the time, so Wang Ge finally felt at ease.

Pebbles were sprinkled on the straw mat and task bamboo slips were stuffed at the bottom of the basket. Until the big examination began, she was not 100% sure that it was Lady Miao who did it.

However, using the elimination method, the other party is the most suspicious.

First exclude Mrs. Meng, and then exclude Mrs. Hu. Carpenter Hu is at odds with her. As we all know, as soon as the news that she was framed is spread, Mrs. Hu can’t even explain it. At this time, the other party sprinkles it on her mat.

Shizi? How childish and stupid.

So, she's not the Hujiang Niang.

Mrs. Chen is a foul-mouthed woman who relies on her superb craftsmanship and is keen on open fights and satires, so she is also excluded.

Madam Lu and the others talked little, and slept far away from Wang Ge. They usually traveled with each other, but they were excluded for the time being.

The rest are Miao and Guo.

The resting position of Lady Miao was right next to Wang Ge, which was the easiest to do. In the past few days, the other party always looked sick and weak. Wang Ge did ignore Lady Miao at first. Then, she noticed that Lady Miao had almost no medicinal smell.

, the slight smell of medicine carried by me, just like myself, is just a little smell of medicine brewed by the cook on the clothes, and it dissipates with the wind.

Has the other party never taken medicine?

Later, Madam Guo started to quarrel because she was wearing a scarf. Fortunately, she was not acquainted with her, otherwise it would have caused a big quarrel and alarmed the craftsmen, and both she and Madam Guo might have had their morals demoted.

Is Mrs. Guo's anger inexplicable? No, someone must be arrogant.

What's even more interesting is that before the quarrel, Madam Miao offered to bring her a meal, but she refused. After she returned from the task of solving the animal and animal problems, she discovered that Madam Miao's dinner was actually brought back by Madam Guo.

Isn’t it interesting? A man who is getting weaker and weaker, never falls ill, and avoids taking medicine.

The big assessment came just in time, and Wang Ge didn't have to worry about it. He chose Miao as the general and Guo as the soldier. Let these two best friends fight and eliminate anyone. Unexpectedly, during the assessment process, Lady Miao showed an ugly face! Further!

This proves Wang Ge’s inference.

Time flies by, turning into a giant, taking a big step towards the master craftsman competition.

The fifth day of August, the time of Maochu.

Lin Muyuan's team entered the "Chengshi Craftsman's Shop". This is an official craftsman's shop. The word "Chengshi" is taken from "Xunzi's Theory of Rites", "If the rules are set honestly, you can't deceive them."

It was very dark at this time, and there were many figures. There was a figure that was obviously shorter, and that was Wang Ge. This was her third time participating in the county competition. There were seven emergency training camps, and the total number of applicants was 350. Updated

There are many junior craftsmen. Looking at the crowd on the other side of the spacious examination room, there must be more than quasi-craftsmen.

Nowadays, all counties and villages in the emergency training camps are integrated. In the case of Linmuyuan, the quasi-craftsmen come from five counties: Shanyin, Chuyi, Luo, Zhuji, and Yin counties.

That's right, the number of potential craftsmen in Lin Muyuan is already led by people from Shanyin County.

The game started at the beginning of Chen, and there was still one hour left.

The team of craftsmen arrived, consisting of four columns. Two columns headed towards the craftsmen area, and two columns headed towards the quasi-craftsmen area. Their responsibilities were clearly defined, some were responsible for patrolling the field, and some were responsible for inspection. Among the inspecting craftsmen, there were different chiefs.

Deputy position.

After the inspector said "Silence", an inspection craftsman came to the front of the team of prospective craftsmen and announced the rules of the competition.

Each emergency training camp has informed the candidates of the rules in advance, but what if there are any missed ones? The whole audience was silent for a moment, and this person's voice became louder: "In this county competition, there are three hundred and fifty prospective craftsmen.

There are 450 junior craftsmen, a total of 800 people. The title of the assessment is...increasing bamboo knots. The competition process is divided into three rounds. The assessment method is...a competition between craftsmen's skills."

The craftsmanship of eight hundred people competes with each other!

At the same time, compete with bamboo.

During the competition, someone was eliminated at every moment. The elimination was as decisive as cutting off the branches and leaves of bamboo after cutting it down, without mercy.

Hearing this, Wang Ge was still as excited as he was yesterday when he first heard the rules. All the cells in his body surged, shouting with the same voice: Hurry to Chenchu, we can't wait, can't wait, can't wait!

There are no top ten or top three places in the competition, only the first place will be reserved. In addition to the fixed reward, the first place will also be awarded the title of "Kuiji Master".

This title does not refer to the "great craftsman" in the craftsman level, but refers to the bamboo craftsman's achievements in the basic skill of "bamboo bamboo", which was evaluated by the government as...the great bamboo craftsman of Kuaiji County.

Winning this title is worth the first place in the county competition twice!

What does it mean? It means that if you win this competition, the total number of times for the first place in the county competition will not be increased by "one", but "two".

For example, Wang Ge, if he fights to the end and wins this time, he will only participate in ninety-seven county competitions in the future.

The title of "Kuiji Master Craftsman" is rare. Every year, only one county competition in each major category is selected and awarded by the government. If "Bamboo Zengjie" is selected, then the rest of the county competitions in this year's carpentry category will be

There will no longer be such special rewards.

Back to business.

The exam is divided into three rounds.

Material: moso bamboo.

Tools: bamboo knife. Toolless stool.

Let’s talk about the first round first: double-jointed bamboo stalk.

The rules are as follows: 800 people beat the drums at any time, and at the same time follow the steps called by the craftsmen to cut the bamboo. Those with irregular movements, slow speed, and mistakes in the bamboo strips will be eliminated.

The inspection items of the craftsman in this round include: the technique of holding the bamboo knife, the technique of polishing the bamboo joints, the technique of stabilizing the bamboo stalk, the way of wedging the blade into the bamboo stalk, how to maintain the stability of the bamboo knife, the standard shape of the cross section of bamboo, deep splitting and shallow splitting.

The distinction of splitting, the strength of turning the handle of the knife, whether the bamboo split is straight and even, the detection and adjustment of uneven width, the grasp of the distance between the hand and the blade, the choice of the first and second cuts for the thickness of green bamboo strips and yellow bamboo strips...etc.

.

There is a stipulated number of eliminations in this round, ranging from 800 to 300. The quasi-craftsman assessment field and the craftsman assessment field each eliminate 150 people. After reaching the number, the first round of competition will stop.

Second round: five-section bamboo stalk.

The rules are: the craftsmen no longer call out the steps, but the five hundred candidates still have to follow the steps of the previous round to make bamboo. Each sound of the timing drum represents the stage of bamboo making that needs to be completed. Those who lack the steps will be eliminated; those who cannot complete the stage requirements

,disuse.

Decisive round: nine-section bamboo stalk.

The rule is: Candidates can bamboo strips according to their personal habits, and the first one to reach the required standard number of bamboo strips, and the one who meets the standard, wins.

Boom!

Everyone's heartbeats picked up.

"Maozheng." The craftsman told the time.

With half an hour left, Wang Ge took a deep breath, took a deep breath... adjusted his mood, and gradually calmed down.

At the same time, in Qinghe Village, Wang Yun had been reciting "The Analects of Confucius" for half an hour in the pavilion. If he didn't read the book, he would become unfamiliar. He couldn't compare his background with other formal schoolchildren, so he had to work hard and work hard.

knowledge.

Wei Pavilion.

Huan Zhen also got up early and read the "Haidao Suan Jing" by the stove fire for half an hour. From the original title to the annotations, it was all written by one person. The handwriting is real, and the official pen is horizontal and straight, with the style of Zhong Yuanchang.

The person who wrote this calculation may have been the prefect of the county.

If he is really the prefect of the county, then the meaning of this "Island Calculation Scripture" is not just a reward for Wang Ge for completing a certain task.

Island calculation...Uncle Yan mentioned that Wang Changyu appeared in Nanjiang...A large number of boat shops were initially built...The rural soldier competition increased the swimming assessment...The road built in Jiashe Village leads directly to the Yeshanjiang River, and the Yeshanjiang River and the Nanjiang River are

Connected...the Jindu ferry built in Xunxiang Township many years ago...

The clues were connected, and an answer was waiting to be revealed. Huan Zhen could no longer restrain his composure! Because he had heard his father mention earlier that Emperor Cheng had a wish when he was still alive, to restart the Maritime Silk Road that was interrupted by the war!

Could it be that it’s time?
Chapter completed!
