Chapter 57 Ink Sticks, Shu, Chopsticks

At this time, it was obvious that Wang Ge's physical work was not in vain. She hugged her box and was the fastest runner.

The utensil has arrived!

The word "zhi" winds southward, making it even harder to see its end!

The columns that support the roof are dense, with equal spacing, all in two "steps". Below is the wooden utensil bed. Only one mold is placed on the bed of each utensil bed. Depending on the size of the mold, there are many or fewer. On the grounds on both sides of the utensil bed, an equal number of baskets are placed in order, and the materials for making the mold are inside.

Candidates on Wang Ge's side can only take the materials on their side. If they are gone, they can find a passage to go around and take the other side, but they must not climb under the bed of the utensil or climb over.

Liu Xiaolang once warned: If you see an easy mold, choose it, don’t choose it!

So Wang Ge immediately grabbed the "mobile mark" when he saw it. When she picked up the material from the small basket below and got up, all the ink marks on the bed of the utensils had been swept away.

She held the basket tightly and squeezed out from the candidates, quickly walked to the production area next to her and sat down on the spot, took out all the tools in the box, then cushioned the box, placed a foot-long and half-width wooden board on it, and began to make ink marks.

The ink stick is a part of the ink bucket (a tool used by carpenters to mark lines), which is a brush made of bamboo strips, so it is also called a bamboo brush. The format is thin at the top, wide at the bottom, and wide at the wide end to make a broom shape. When a carpenter is bouncing a straight line, you can use the ink stick to press the line, or draw a short straight line, and use it as a mark.

There are no other tools in the basket, only two green bamboo strips. This means that the tools distributed before entering the venue are sufficient, and candidates are allowed to make mistakes once during production.

Wang Ge first used a bamboo knife to peel off the green skin of a piece of bamboo, and the green skin was used as waste material. Then he used a wooden ruler to measure the length of the broom tail of the ink mark mold, how many teeth are divided, and the length of the body.

Make the tail of the broom first. Thin the length of the two fingers, and use a carving knife to cut the teeth of the broom. Be careful at this time and never break the teeth. After cutting the mold into twelve broom teeth, then use a uniform knife to thin the tail of the teeth again. During the thinning process, she always compares the curvature of the broom teeth of the mold to ensure the strength in her hands.

Therefore, when the broom teeth are thinned to the same as the mold, the curvature is also the same.

Next is to cut the mark, place the mold on the bamboo strip, use a carving knife to cut out the shape, and then cut it off.

Made.

Wang Ge quickly packed up his tools and took the basket to the east side of the rest area.

Five craftsmen sat side by side in front of the famous drum. The drummer was strong in shape and stared at Wang Ge, which was very scary.

She didn't know which craftsman to give, so she picked the one in the middle. The craftsman picked up two ink marks from the craftsman, first stacked them, the size and outlines, and the curvature of the broom were the same; then counted the teeth of the broom, and the number was the same. Then, he handed the craftsman to the craftsman on the right, and the verification procedures of this craftsman were the same.

After this person was checked, he passed. He asked: "Candidate's hometown, name?"

She spoke clearly and said: "Bazhi Township, Jiashe Village, Wang Ge."

The drummer swung the drumstick violently, and the first hit in the craftsmanship exam became famous.

Dong...buzz...

Before the end of the drum sounded, the drummer was already blushing and shouting with a thick neck: "Bazhi Township, Jiashe Village, Wang Ge... pass!"

When he just called out the word "king", the second famous drum sounded from afar.

Wang Gexin shivered, even she was nervous. Those candidates who had not completed the first copy could imagine it.

She turned around and ran away, hurriedly intersecting with another candidate who came to deliver the products. She saw the objects in the basket in the outskirts and lamented that this person was lucky. She made a bamboo flute, and just drilled the objects into a few holes.

The candidates have only picked up one round, and there are many simple molds in the utensils, and they can see three types of them at once. She still remembered Liu Xiaolang's warning that she got an eight-ringed wooden stick with an eight-ringed arrow, and one end contracted with a triangle arrow, and visually measured the overall length was half a foot.

This kind of artifact is actually a weapon, called "六".

When making a sauna, it is a long pole with an eight-edged head. However, this is in the exam. In order to save materials, only the candidates need to imitate the head end of this device.

When Wang Ge put the wooden board on the box again, the famous drum in this area rang again, which was the third drum in the audience. She glanced at it quickly, but it was not the candidate who just gave the bamboo flute.

What's going on?

A cry suddenly came from a distance in the northwest direction, and then it stopped abruptly.

Dong!

The sound of drums suddenly sounded nearby. Wang Ge was not prepared and trembled slightly. A young girl behind her was frightened and couldn't help but say "ah".

"Duyi County, Xiluli... is not as skilled as humans!"

Wang Ge did not hear the names of the eliminated candidates clearly. Unexpectedly, the first person to ring the "better than drum" was to leave the field. This rule was even more cruel than when she was a child. The eliminated person not only had a drum beat better than a drum, but also had to report his hometown and name loudly.

At the same time, the patrolman Youzi locked behind Wang Ge like an eagle, and strode to announce that the little girl who had just screamed was eliminated: "No reason, leave quickly!"

"No..." The craftsman's fearful expression changed. You Zi had no sympathy at all, so he held her shoulder and dragged her out.

Wang Geli was too close, and even the little girl was struggling to kick the ground clearly. She really didn't expect the discipline in the exam room to be so strict!

There are also drums in the northwest direction, which is the second eliminated person in the audience!

Dong! The little girl who was dragged out beat the third drum, almost shouting about her hometown and name.

The drums and shouts were too disturbing. Wang Ge continued to take deep breaths to adjust his mentality, and observed the candidates around him. Everything he saw was as nervous as her and he looked around.

No, what do you care about others? She must be calm and cannot be affected. Just take care of herself. She must be calm and calm...

After calming her breathing for more than a dozen times, she truly calmed down. She looked at the materials of the octagonal skull: a cylindrical wooden stick, a glove of a gauze, and a flat chisel. It was obvious that there was only one chance to imitate this object.

Wang Ge first compared the length of the mold and the material, saw off the extra ones, then untied the hemp rope on his head, positioned the arrow end of the mold at several points, and measured the circumference. Then mark the same positioning points at one end of the material wooden rod, and slight scratches with the tip of the knife.

Based on several locations, you can make an arrow end that is equivalent to the mold.

Wang Ge is as serious as carving such an artifact that is not very skilled. She always stubbornly believes that only when craftsmen are sincere, can they give back their sincerity.

There are two peaks that wood carvers have climbed in their lifetime: one is the most exquisite; the other is the most clumsy. Which is easier and which is difficult? Even the masters in the carving world have different opinions.

Wear gloves on your left hand and use a flat chisel to cut out the edges. When you reach the end of the arrow, you should do a gradual subtraction, and always use a hemp rope to wrap the circumference to reduce the circumference of the arrow end of the mold.

Made.

"Bazhi Township, Jiashe Village, Wang Ge, pass!"

She became famous again!

At this time, there were obviously fewer simple molds in the utensils. Wang Ge chose "chop" this time. Chop was called "chop" in the pre-Qin period, and it was only in the Ming Dynasty that the name "chop" was called "chop".

Modern people rarely know that chopsticks actually have fixed standards. One end is round and the other end is square, which means the sky is round and the place is round; the length is seven inches and six minutes, which means the seven emotions and six desires of the world.

The chopstick mold that Wang Ge got was made of bamboo, and the material was only: two bamboo strips. It also did not give the candidates the chance to make mistakes and remake them.

There is no other trick to making chopsticks, it is to slowly polish it. The bamboo strips are longer and wider than the chopstick mold. First use a bamboo knife to cut off the excess length, then erect the scraper across the wooden board with the gap upwards. Hold the scraper firmly with the left hand, and turn the upper half of the bamboo strip on the flat strip and grind it into a square shape with the right hand; turn the bamboo strips, roll and grind it on the round strip, and grind it into a round shape.

During the grinding process, you must compare the mold at all times, and still position a few points. Use a hemp rope to measure the circumference of the bamboo strip, and whether it is equivalent to the circumference of the mold.

Dong!

"Hefang Township, Luoyue Pavilion, Zheng...pass!"

It was from the area northwest. This person has become famous three times, more than Wang Ge! He couldn't hear his name clearly, and she only heard that his surname was Zheng.

There are three townships in Tuyi County, and Hefang Township is the most prosperous. I heard that there are craftsmen gathering there. If this person is young, it means he is really talented!

Wang Ge's slightly ups and downs, and his emotions were suppressed between his breaths. He made progress! She encouraged herself and continued to calmly control chopsticks.
