Chapter 64
You help me, I’ll help you
From the entrance to the departure channel to the rest area, there is a rain shelter.
Wang Ge no longer had to get wet in the rain, and his hands were lighter. He forced himself to think through it, but it was never that easy.
Looking back, we can realize how lucky and enviable we were to persevere in the examination room.
Once you leave, you will never go back. Look how timely it rains. If the candidates inside drink enough rainwater, can they last one more day?
If she was still in the field, after making twenty weapons, would she dare to continue working? In fact, what would happen if she worked hard until she fainted and was carried out? Can she get a top-notch craftsmanship?
All unknowns have been destroyed!
The female candidate who bumped into Wang Ge had just finished beating the drum. She was shivering with cold and handed out the gavel, crying: "I'm sorry, I really don't know why I tripped. I really didn't mean to do it, ah...
"She cried loudly, wishing she could be killed by a drum. She had already made eighteen utensils, and she only needed one utensil. She only needed one utensil in her hand, which meant she was a medium craftsman!
"What did you trip over? What kind of object can trip people up so badly?" Wang Ge asked the key question, but the girl was so sad that she didn't listen at all.
The drumstick was snatched away by a big hand and shoved in front of Wang Ge's face. She knew it was the drumstick without even looking. It would have been humiliating herself. She took it, tiptoed, banged the drum head hard, and shouted with all her strength:
"Gu Zhixiang, Jia She Village, Wang Ge, their skills are inferior to others!"
It turned out that the humiliation of admitting that one's skills were inferior to others was much more humiliating than diapering. She held back her tears and handed the drumstick back.
Youyou clenched her hands tightly, hoping to make her lose face every time she beat the drum, but she rebelled and shouted louder than anyone else. "Oh, Wang, Ge? Isn't it? It's not as good as the drum."
It’s really rare for a drum to be beaten so vigorously.”
Wang Ge didn't say anything, knowing that this kind of person is difficult to deal with. Although Youyou is the lowest among officials, no matter how low he is, he is still an official. Moreover, Youyou is responsible for arrests and has good skills. She has already suffered a loss and cannot suffer anymore!
This person did not dare to be too arrogant and returned to the examination room proudly.
The female examinee came forward sobbing and was about to speak, but Wang Ge twisted around and left.
Stay away from stupid people! Besides, she was almost suffocated. She had to quickly find her luggage and go to the hut. She had dinner early and didn't know if she could ask for a piece of wheat cake.
The path to the rain shelter is only three steps wide, with rain pouring down on both sides. A tall figure is coming towards you in the middle, asking: "Are you Wang Ge?"
Wang Ge raised his head. He looked like a gentleman in his twenties. He wore loose clothes and a scarf. His smile was gentle, with a hint of majesty in it. He looked like he was not an ordinary citizen. "Yes, sir..."
"I bought this thing from a salesman, but did you make it?" He stretched out his hand, and it was indeed the tumbler that Mr. Feng bought some time ago.
"yes."
He stood in front of the drum, picked up the drumstick and looked at it.
Wang Ge followed silently.
The female candidate was still sobbing beside the drum. After being looked at calmly by the husband, she became frightened and ran away quickly.
The man imitated the drum, then put it down without interest, looked back at Wang Ge, and asked: "How about you help me make another tumbler, and I will help you cure the wandering?"
Wang Ge's body tensed up and his head lowered further: "After I make it, how will I give it to you, sir?"
"Huan Zhen is my nephew, just give it to him." Magistrate Huan looked at her deeply and said, "Wang Jianggong, don't be in a hurry to return home, wait for the announcement."
"Yes." Wang Ge watched the other party enter the examination room and was very grateful. He must be the magistrate of Huan County. He had just witnessed You You's bullying behavior from the side and knew that a little peasant girl was targeted by You You. Taking revenge for personal gain was very terrifying.
of.
So how can we just make a roly-poly to repay the favor? She will think of some more good things.
Returning to the original resting area of the female craftswoman, the position of her bamboo basket has not changed. It contains bedding, thick clothes, footwear, and bamboo pots. Finally, we can go to the latrine. In the corner of the latrine, there is a basket that is larger than the vat.
There were all dirty clothes thrown inside.
She changed everything on her body, and when she came out, the rain had stopped.
I found the craftsman lady, and as soon as I looked at her, I realized that she had just left the examination room. After giving her wheat cakes, I asked, "Have you finished ordering the nine utensils?"
"Yeah." Wang Ge wolfed down the food and nodded twice.
"Posting the list is slow, it takes two days no matter what."
"Um."
"I feel anxious just waiting."
"Yeah." Wang Ge thought to himself, you are more impatient than me, just say what you want to say.
"Young lady, can you make Gelu?"
"Um."
"The craftsman's shop in Qinghe Village has a lot of urgent work and is looking for craftsmen who can make Gelu. Although the list has not been posted yet, people like the young lady who are leaving today can be hired as first-class craftsmen. A pair of Gelu is five
How about one payment per pair?" The craftsman's wife looked around cautiously and indicated that it was the square-toed shoes she was wearing.
Square-toed shoes are more troublesome than straw sandals, but five dollars is still a lot. Wang Ge was moved and asked: "Is Qinghe Village far away?"
The craftsman's wife smiled: "Of course the manor is far away, but the craftsman's shop is not far away. Look, you can see it from here."
Qinghe Village is a few dozen feet away from the rest area of the examination room, surrounded by a large temporary craftsman's shop with bright lights. What's interesting is that on the other side of the road is the temporary craftsman's shop of Nanshan Guanshu.
In this way, Wang Ge only left the examination room for an hour before working as a servant in a craftsman's shop. This work lasted two days, and she suffered even more than in the examination room, which directly shattered her imagination of craftsmen.
It’s still hard to make money!
The square-toed shoes made of Ge materials are thickened starting from the forefoot. The uppers need to be knitted very tightly, and the shoe body is wide. It is not at all like the light and fitting shoes on the craftsman's feet. And the soles are thick. After the uppers are made,
The soles of the shoes had to be sewn together with large needles. There was a fixed distance between the stitches. The candidates who were recruited with her had to work on one shoe in vain because the stitches they sewed were not in compliance with the regulations.
When sewing shoe uppers, my hands would soon become tired and my joints would ache. As soon as I took a break, the craftsmen and the craftsman's wife would come over to teach the craftsmen. Especially the craftsman's wife who gave her cakes to eat and brought her here no longer looked kind and walked back and forth in the aisle of the craftsman's shop.
During the inspection, he reprimanded: "A craftsman, what is a craftsman? A craftsman is a tool! Regardless of whether he is a son or a daughter, they are all rules and regulations!"
"Are you also this lazy when you are waiting for the exam? The nine weapons are all straw sticks, right?"
"If you don't want to do it, just leave! Who can you show me by crying?"
“It doesn’t matter which craftsman shop you go to!”
"Look at how the old craftsmen make shoes. They make two pairs, but you are still making the left foot! That's you!"
Wang Ge was hit on the back of her hand. It hurt more than anything. She really wanted to go to the latrine, but there was no latrine in such a big craftsman's shop. If she wanted to relieve herself, she could just run outside into the darkness and pee wherever she wanted, but she couldn't.
Someone to accompany you, no one to care about you.
How could she dare to go there in the middle of the night?
Two days later, there was a sea of people in front of the main east passage of the craftsman examination room. The results were about to be posted.
The wooden plaques posted on the list have been erected, standing side by side with the drums.
There is a huge ship parked on the river in the distance. This is the first time Wang Ge saw a large ship in ancient times. He saw how the laborers laboriously transported the carps to the ship.
The crowd was discussing this matter: "Have you heard? Nanshan Guanshu bought the carp stone. From now on, there will no longer be carp stones in the craftsmanship test."
"How can it be?"
"Something big will happen in the craftsmanship exam this year."
Wang Ge listened over and over again, but could not hear any useful news. Also, if there is really a big event, can it be spread to everyone?
Youyou, all the craftsmen and servants lined up, followed by a group of examiners, including Magistrate Huan!
Start posting the list.
The parade maintained order with spears, and no one dared to crowd in. It was useless to squeeze to the front, because most of the people were illiterate.
Wang Ge was far away, short, and couldn't see anything.
The examiner said loudly: "Everyone is silent. Let's announce the lower-level craftsmen first. This time, a total of lower-level craftsmen will be admitted..."
Wang Ge was nervous to hear the last one, and finally felt relieved that there was no name of her place of origin. She made exactly the number nineteen, and if the craftsman missed one, she would be demoted to a lower-level craftsman.
One person on the tour felt the opposite, unwilling and angry: Could it be that the maidservant was really admitted as a middle-level craftsman?
Rules and principles: refers to both the tools used to make the tools and the standards that need to be followed when making the tools.
