Everyone has their own hardships

After Wang Ge finished making the rolling lantern, she bowed to the examiner. As long as the examiner didn't ask questions, she would never speak first.

The way Master Yao inspected the rolling lantern was to pour sesame oil, light it, let the lantern rotate a few times in his palm, and then judge: "Passed."

Wang Ge didn't dare to remind him that the examiner was testing the model he made himself, and the one she imitated was still on the ground.

No matter what, as long as the famous drum is beaten, it will prove that her eleventh instrument is completed. Wang Ge is thinking about the mold of the wooden blocks, bows to him, and leaves quickly.

Master Craftsman Yao folded his hands and looked at her until he lost sight of her. Then he returned to the hut where he was resting. He put the bamboo slips recorded by the five craftsmen into the basket, covered them tightly, tied them with ropes, took out the mud sealing tube and mud shovel, and started sealing.

mud.

All conversations with candidate Wang Ge tonight will be sent to the capital as soon as possible to be supervised. From tonight on, there will always be a small craftsman in the history of Dajin craftsmen!

While he was busy working, he muttered sour words in annoyance: "Huh, it turns out there are two ways to recruit first-class craftsmen. Once the first-class craftsmen are produced, there will be no carp stones in the future... Who could have thought of this? If I had thought of it earlier, what would I have said back then?

I have to walk to Li Shi! I have to walk here even though I am exhausted! Humph, first class, first class, first class, so what? I just won’t tell you yet.”

In the middle of the night, in the examiner's rest area in the northwest, elderly people such as Examiner Shi and Examiner Liu have already put on their clothes and are lying down.

Huh...huh...

Each snoring sound has its own characteristics and alternately makes the sound loud.

Examiners Gu and Examiners He were called out. They were the two examiners who visited Wang Ge's production area during the day when she was making the eight-hole bamboo flute.

The two of them looked in the direction of the carp stone. It was too far away and the stone shadow was contained by the mountain shadow.

Examiner Gu: "Have you heard that the school office of the General Supervisor issued an order for making utensils? In addition to the county, Hefang Township, and even the magistrate's township, there were also craftsmen who received it."

"You can see that the war is urgent. Qinghe Village..." Examiner He lowered his jaw, "And the Xie family's Nanshan Villa is in urgent need of hiring craftsmen."

"So, there are only craftsmen who starve to death, but there are no craftsmen who starve to death."

"Haha, that's a bit too much. Craftsmen are a whole, and if you want to show your ability, you must unite into a force! But we are different. Everyone is overcoming obstacles and looking for a direction, and we must clear the way for the craftsmen as a whole! Haha,

Everyone has their own hardships."

"Brother He said that's good!" These words made the examiner excited. The examination room here is next to the river, and it was too cold at night. He raised his hands and said regretfully: "Back then, when I was taking the craftsmanship test, all of them should be

Among the candidates, I walked closest to Lishi. Who doesn’t want to take a closer look and get some blessings and luck? But it’s such a long journey and there’s not even a trace of it. How can I dare to exhaust my energy and move forward? Alas, I stopped halfway.

Turned back."

"If we could turn back time and be given another chance, would you be willing to walk through it?"

"To be honest, if I do it again, I won't leave even if the first half of it is unfair."

After the two of them laughed, Examiner He said: "The craftsman level is still beneficial to those who have no hope of becoming a master craftsman in their lifetime. If a craftsman shop hires a middle-level craftsman, he must pay double the money for each tool made.

Three times the number of craftsmen! These are all written in the order of the master craftsman. Which craftsman shop dares to disobey? If not for this, the candidates will leave the venue after making nine weapons."

Boom!

After a drum beat, the drummer made a name for the candidates.

Gu and He looked at each other and smiled happily, but since this famous drum, they have been beaten again and again, but they are not as good as the drum.

Far away in a remote production area where they couldn't hear, Wang Ge had just completed the thirteenth artifact. After completing the rolling lamp, she turned back along the original path. The wooden block combination was still there. After the production was completed, she returned to the main artifact shed.

At the starting point, walk towards the artifact shed on another branch line.

Then she discovered that she had guessed correctly!

It is true that there are no molds for each branch line utensil shed over a long distance, but if there are, they must be easy-to-make straw fabrics or a combination of basic wooden molds.

When she finished making the fifteenth instrument, her energy was completely exhausted. She put the bamboo basket under her neck and fell asleep next to the Yangming Drum. Maybe the bamboo basket was too hard, and she looked like she was suffering from deep hatred when she slept.

She looked like a girl, occasionally uttered some words in her sleep, and looked at the craftsmen. The drummer felt that this little girl was pitiful and funny.

After being awakened by the drum sound in my nightmare, it was already dawn.

She was already feeling very uncomfortable in her stomach. She couldn't even tell the pain when she sat down. If she hadn't made four more utensils to reach the medium level of craftsmanship, and if there hadn't been simple molds in every section close to the main utensil shed, she would have done it yesterday.

I left through the passage in this area at night.

The early morning sky was filled with green light, and the wind was stronger than yesterday. She walked to a place where there were fewer people wandering around, and squatted down while holding on to the bed of empty utensils. It took a while before she got up. At first, she couldn't walk very well, but after she got used to it, her pace quickened.

While looking for a model, she persuaded herself: "It's nothing, Wang Ge, it's really nothing. Aren't you overbearing it again? If you can't even bear this crime, why take the exam? The money from the government is not just wasted.

, Why should we spend money to train craftsmen? Why should we give ordinary people more ways to survive? Besides, there must be many people who have not left the industry. They can do it, why can’t I?"

The sudden appearance of the straw sole mold is more useful than any persuasion!

There are only soles! Great, the straw material is on the other side, it doesn't matter. She ran hurriedly, her throat hurt from the wind, and her stomach hurt even more, but she couldn't care less. Fortunately, she didn't see other candidates.

Run faster, faster, faster, faster...

One step away from the utensil bed, this is the passage!

Go back around and run!

It's still there, it must still be there, it must be there, it must be there!

Ha... She grabbed the soles of her straw shoes and collapsed to the ground. She wiped her sweat and tears and took a breath.

The northwest area not only has the examiners' rest area, but it is also the largest production area in the examination room, with the most models. Starting from noon, the remaining candidates basically gather here.

The smell in the whole place was indescribably unpleasant. The good thing was that the wind was much lighter than in the morning, so we didn’t have to prevent the materials from being blown away while making the tools.

Another hour passed, and the number of candidates decreased rapidly. Some people fainted and were carried out. Tragically, they were given hot soup outside the venue. The first thing they did when they woke up was that the knocking was not as good as the drum.

However, since midnight in the afternoon, not a single candidate has left the venue, and the number of beats on the famous drum has increased again.

There were less than a hundred male candidates and female candidates left in total. They gathered separately in a tacit understanding and divided the production area into two square formations.

Young craftsmen can account for half of the people in their respective squares. Judging from their appearance, they basically come from Chaimen farmers.

Boom!

"Guozhi Township, Jiashe Village, Wangge, Guo!"

Famous? Why are there still candidates at the back?

The craftsmen and servants all looked around, and saw a little girl holding the bamboo basket vertically and horizontally. She seemed to fall down every step of the way, but she still came over and sat down in the square of female craftsmen and children.

at the end.

This is definitely the smallest candidate in the room!

One of the people on the tour was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He had just been transferred to this tool-making area, and they were really on the wrong side of the road. Unexpectedly, the damn servant girl hadn't been eliminated yet! She was still laughing!

What he hated even more and was unwilling to do was that there were too many examiners, craftsmen, and tourists here. He could only occasionally cast a resentful glance over there, but he dared not do anything else.

At this time, there had been no examinees for a long time, and the empty area of ​​the mold began to be closed. The craftsman came to the examiner's rest area carrying the famous bamboo slips. One of them was very special, so special that all the examiners were about to regret it!

General Supervisor: An official office in ancient times that was in charge of construction and weapon making. Under it, the "Lieutenant Colonel Office" was in charge of the manufacturing of ships, armies, and weapons.
Chapter completed!
