Chapter 58 Bamboo Flute with Eight Holes

"Zuiyi County, Beiluli, Liu...guo."

"He Fang Township, Ou Li, Fu... Guo."

"Gu Zhixiang, in the east alley, Wei... his skills are not as good as others."

"Kou Zhixiang, Jiashe Village, Wangge, Guo."

"He Fang Township, Luoyue Pavilion, Zheng Que, pass!"

"Xunxi Township, Zhugou Village, Shi...skills are not as good as others."

As the time progressed and approached noon, the famous drums became more and more intensive inside and outside the examination room, and the shouts of drummers and eliminated candidates often overlapped.

The sound of fame can break through the clouds and crack rocks. Some people can't help but get excited and think deeply, and their skills are even more advanced than usual. Others can't hold back and become more and more anxious. If they are not careful, they will make mistakes that cannot be made up for.

Those who are not as skilled as others return to the field in different ways. Some are lingering, sitting quietly, waiting for the admission results of the craftsmanship examination; some have already packed their bags and embarked on their return journey.

Wang Ge finally heard clearly this time that the candidate who always made one more utensil than her was named Zheng Que. Zheng Que was not the only one in Hefang Township. He heard the name of this township several times in the famous drum. And Gu knew the east of the township.

Alley? Isn’t it the same lane where Liu Xiaolang lives?

At this moment, Wang Ge was leaving the Dongjiao production area. There were no simple models in the utensil shed there. Four hours had passed since Yin Zheng entered the scene. She began to feel hungry, especially thirsty. She was holding the tool box cage that was quite comfortable, and gradually became tired of it.

. As for holding in her urine, it’s not that she doesn’t feel it, but every time the thought comes up, she is deliberately thinking of other things and ignoring it.

Seeing a bamboo brush mold, she hesitated for a moment, but she had no choice. But she couldn't be deceived by its appearance. If the number of slits in each bamboo piece was different, it would take twice as long to imitate it.

After the bamboo brush is the broom, and only two utensils are placed on the bed.

Keep walking! Rattan ropes, straw sandals, bamboo mats for one person to sit on, wooden pulleys... there are more than a dozen utensil beds in a row, all of which are time-consuming and complicated molds.

The ribs of a stacked fan?!

It was broken! There was only one, and the material was on the other side of the utensil bed! Wang Ge quickly ran forward to find a passage to go around, but when he looked back worriedly, he saw that a candidate had taken the mold away.

This matter needs to be seen. She was panting and continued to search quickly. Then she stopped in front of the bamboo flute utensil bed with some doubts. She remembered that when she first became famous, she passed by a candidate who made bamboo flutes. Why is such a simple mold

, so what if the candidate was eliminated instead? And she definitely didn’t hear the craftsman’s sound check at that time, which proved that the sound check was not accurate at all.

In front of her, behind her, and on the opposite side, there were candidates gathering towards her position. It was obvious that it would not be easy to move forward.

Then choose it. When she picked up the bamboo flute, she attracted envious looks from other candidates.

Wang Ge made bamboo flutes in his previous life, and their shapes were much more complex and delicate than the current model.

The bamboo material of this flute mold is purple bamboo, with eight holes. Maybe because the bamboo is hard, only the openings are scraped green. The body of the flute has two bamboo sections, one hole is outside the bamboo section of the flute head, and the remaining seven holes are all

In the second bamboo section, the eight holes are assigned from the flute head to the flute tail: two, three, three.

Looking at the internal structure, she realized the reason why the craftsman did not check the intonation. The inside of the flute turned out to be a transparent empty tube without a stopper!

It's really strange that the flute is not being tested for sound. It's a good thing anyway. She stopped thinking about it and looked at the materials: ten thin purple bamboo tubes. From a visual inspection, they were about the same thickness as the flute mold; there was also a palm-length drill nail.

It is made of iron, and the pole it holds is wooden.

That's all the materials.

Wang Ge took off the hemp rope again and used it with a wooden ruler to first measure the inner diameter of the flute mold, and then measure the inner diameters of the ten materials in sequence. Don't think that the ten bamboo tubes give the candidates ten opportunities to make flutes. This is just

The candidates are asked to accurately measure a purple bamboo tube with the most suitable inner diameter to imitate the flute mold. If they choose the remaining nine, no matter how good they are, they will be judged as failures by the craftsmen.

After selecting the bamboo tube, her cautious nature made her take a closer look at the internal structure of the flute mold. It was indeed transparent... As soon as Wang Ge finished her thoughts, she suddenly took a breath!

Look for the light and look carefully, and you will immediately understand the reason why the candidate was eliminated.

There is an inconspicuous and very small mark engraved on the inside of the flute tail: a horizontal flute. The engraved mark is really horizontal and vertical!

The examinee either didn't notice the mark, or the imitation was substandard.

None of the fixing tools can carve into such a thin pipe diameter. The only thing that can be used is drill nails. No wonder the nail body is so short.

This mark must be left at the end!

Wang Ge sighed slightly. He was unlucky this time. This mold was more laborious than a bamboo brush. But he finally knew what it was testing.

The first step in imitating this flute mold is to outline the outline of the scraping. Place the mold and the bamboo tube side by side on the operating wooden board, and tie them to the wooden board with hemp rope to prevent rolling. Use a wooden ruler to compare

, use a carving knife to make several positioning points on the scraped outline on the bamboo tube.

After confirming that it is correct, pull out the bamboo tube of the material, peel the bamboo skin, use a gentle knife, and always compare it with the scraping depth of the mold.

The second step is to determine the hole spacing. Put the bamboo tube material back, compare it with a wooden ruler, and draw equal circles for the eight locations where holes need to be drilled.

The third step is to drill holes. Bamboo pipes are easy to roll, so just fixing them with hemp ropes will definitely not work. The real function of operating the wooden board should be revealed. She used a wooden hammer and file to dig out a vertical, semi-arc concave shape on the wooden board.

The groove should be deep enough to fit more than half of the bamboo pipe. After digging, stick the bamboo pipe inside, press it tightly with one hand, and drill with the other. After each blowing hole is drilled, the nail tip must be sharpened on the grindstone.

After all eight holes are drilled, blow out the bamboo chips to imitate the shape.

The "flute" mark on the inner wall of the mold was not colored, so it was easy to overlook. She randomly took out one of the nine bamboo tubes, cut out a thin bamboo strip, dipped it in soil, put it in and rubbed it on the mark to make it

clear.

Then remove the short nails, cut the thin bamboo strips covered with soil into short lengths, split the heads into forks, stand the nails upright, wedge the nail tips upward between the forks, and then reinforce them with hemp rope.

First probe into the mold tube, then probe into the imitation bamboo flute tube, and measure the exact position and size of the mark. The rest is real skill!

While Wang Ge was making the flute, the sound of the famous drum set off waves. Two candidates were being dragged away by Youyou not far in front of her. One of them, not knowing what he thought, suddenly struggled to break free and headed toward her.

He ran away, but luckily he was kicked up by Youyou and dragged away.

It's terrible. Why are you running towards her? Fortunately, her hands didn't slip!

She took a long breath and warned herself: Don't be disturbed by external forces, don't be anxious just because you have chosen a mold that takes a long time, and be mentally prepared, there will no longer be simple molds!

Soon, she rejected the interference of the sound of drums and the shouts of drummers.

When the two examiners inspected this area, they stopped behind Wang Ge and talked softly: "So far, no one has chosen this model, haha, not one of them has passed."

"Because everyone who has been able to survive has suffered a loss before. How can he suffer a second loss?"

"Yes, even though the marks in the flute mold are small, they are horizontally and vertically aligned. If they are slightly tilted, they will fail, and the bamboo tube cannot be replaced. If you want to set the standard, haha, at least half... hmm? This candidate..."

The other person looked back and said in surprise: "How is this..." How is it possible? The two of them had just walked more than ten steps, why was this little girl packing her tools?

"give up?"

"It doesn't look like that." If you give up, why are you running so fast to the craftsman?
