I went ashore by weaving straw shoes and became a master craftsman

Chapter 132 The fourth test item, rush weaving

For the first time, there was a zero score in the second test area!

At this stage of the test, the zero score was too abnormal. The two examiners came over in a hurry, looked at the board, and their foreheads were sweating.It's really unlucky for the plum candidate to meet Wang Ge, a first-class craftsman.The examinee reluctantly added a few circles to the two groups of concentric circles, and checked with a gauge, all failed!Fortunately, there is only one moment in the first half, if there is more than one moment, it is estimated that Wang Ge can draw more closely.

In the early afternoon, the felt walls on the north side of each test area were removed, and the fourth test area was opened.

The three utensil shed passages are presented vertically in front of the eyes of a hundred candidates.

"Candidates listen carefully to the rules. The molds in the three utensil sheds are divided into wooden, bamboo, and grass according to their materials. After the timing drum, they will be ranked according to the results of the first three rounds, and the winners will enter the utensil shed first. After the sound Drum, enter a person, you can choose the utensil shed according to your own ability to enter. But when selecting a mold, you can only go forward and cannot go back, otherwise you will be eliminated. The time before a mold frame should not exceed half a quarter. Otherwise, you will be eliminated. Can you understand?"

"Understood!" It means to choose a suitable model, and don't regret it after passing by.The overall test duration cannot be unreasonably delayed.

"The examinee's hand touches the device mold, which is the selected device model. Others are not allowed to grab it. Otherwise, it will be disposed of as disrupting the order of the examination room, and the craftsman's level will be abolished. Every time a device is made, the craftsman will check it. Candidates can go to choose the next device. There are drummers who will beat the "famous drum" for you. If the imitation is not in compliance with the regulations, it will be eliminated, go back and leave. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" This rule has to be reversed. If you don't touch the device model, even if you stand in front of the device rack, other candidates have the right to choose to leave.The craftsman can leave after the "pass" test, in order to reduce the waste of examinee's time.

"A utensil shed is only allowed to enter once, and it cannot be repeated. After reaching the end of the utensil shed, candidates need to go back to the starting point from the outside and choose another shed to enter; of course, they can also choose to end the competition and wait for the results to be announced here. You wait Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Therefore, candidates who are good at making wood, bamboo and straw weaving will benefit the most.Of course, it doesn’t matter if you are not good at everything. Many molds are easy to see, and they are useless as soon as you get started.

"In the utensil shed, besides the production area, there is also a rest area. The production area is illuminated at night. The duration of this assessment will be the end of the application in the afternoon of the 60th at the latest. If all candidates leave the utensil shed early, it will end early. Here After the examination, only [-] people will be left. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Today is fifteen, almost three days and three nights.Eliminate 40 people!
"The exam will start now. Candidates will enter according to the patrol officer's registration!"

Boom!Boom!Boom!After three timing drums, the patrolman called out his name.

The first eleven candidates were all candidates under the age of 30 and over 12 years old.From No. 14 to [-], all three of them came from Hefang Township.Among the [-] people, only two entered the straw weaving utensils shed.

No.15 After the drum beat: "Wang Ge, who knows the hometown of Wu."

Wang Ge's heart was pounding with excitement, and he quickly entered the straw weaving utensils shed.

No.16 The sound of drums is from Hefang Township...Zheng Que.He entered the wooden utensil shed.

In the previous life, Wang Nanxing was good at wood carving, then bamboo weaving, and straw weaving was the weakest.After crossing Chengwangge, due to the limitation of materials, we first refined the straw weaving skills.Weeds grow thickly around Jiashe Village. Whenever she has free time, she sits in the grass nest and practices weaving. Sometimes she cuts the thatch back and knits blindly in the dark for a while before going to bed.Many times when Hutou wakes up, he sees the small fish and shrimp that his sister made for him next to his pillow.

Blind weaving can best improve the fit between the craftsman and the grass material. The grain of the grass stem, when kneading and kneading, the discrimination of each grass material, and the difference in toughness are much stronger than the feeling during the day.Over time, there will be a big leap in weaving speed.

However, we have to admit that in the Jin Dynasty, although the major categories of carpenters included straw weaving, thorn weaving, and rattan weaving, after reaching the craftsman level, the paths of these three categories were indeed narrowed, far inferior to wood and bamboo making.

After Wang Ge entered the utensil shed, he no longer had distracting thoughts.Each utensil rack is separated by two separate wooden boards, standing in front of the first utensil rack, you cannot see the front utensil rack.

The first straw weaving molder is a pair of winter shoes, with Miscanthus as the warp and straw as the weft. The Shau Kei below the material does not provide shoe rake tools.The four candidates who came in ahead didn't choose it, and neither did Wang Ge. Making straw sandals is not difficult, but it takes time.

The second utensil shelf is empty, and candidates who choose this mold are already busy in the production area.

On the third utensil shelf is a straw rope made of cattail grass, twisted into three strands, and each strand is actually seven braids!It's a waste of effort and time than straw sandals.Wang Ge stopped, regretting that he had chosen straw sandals just now.

In fact, it is not difficult to twist the braids one by one, and she is very fast at weaving the braids.But this is a coil of rope, at least ten feet long when unfolded.Moreover, the model trimmed all the burrs from the grass rope, and there were also clippings in the material Shake, which proved that she also had to clean the burrs after weaving.

Boom!
Following the sound of the drum, another examinee came in. He hesitated in front of the straw sandals, but did not choose.Wang Ge didn't dare to waste time, so he quickly gave up the grass rope and moved forward, vowing that no matter what the next model is, as long as she can... God!

The fourth mold turned out to be a hollow smoked cage woven with rushes, densely packed with equal diamond-shaped patterns, the standard is a round belly (two big fists), folded upwards, and then the lotus petal pattern is used as the border.

The examinee at the back also looked depressed, he didn't think about the smoke cage, skipped Wang Ge and rushed to the front.

The rush weaving learned by Wang Nanxing in the previous life belongs to the lineage of Linggen grass weaving in Linhai, Zhejiang, and is similar to the weaving method of this smoked cage.She can weave diamond-shaped hollows, but this is too... more troublesome than straw rope!
Or...forget about the oath you just made?

Another candidate came in and chose the straw sandals directly.

well!Wang Ge sighed, no longer went forward, no longer hesitated, and chose Xunlong.Is there a simple one in front?There may be, there may be!But her heart will become impetuous as she skips over each model, and becomes more and more impetuous.She is currently ranked fifteenth among the candidates in the second area. Once her mentality collapses, she will definitely be eliminated from this assessment.

The rushes have thin, round, straight stems with thin, soft skin.Turn the cage over to see the base, which is where the weaving begins.Regardless of the warp and weft, four rushes form a group. The first group is pressed one by one, the second group is reversed, and the third group is pressed one by one, so that the warp and weft are staggered.After each two groups are finished, they must be flattened with small wooden blocks in the material, otherwise the bottom will be shallow concave after weaving.

There are many inspectors in the production area, and only the famous drums are erected every three feet.After Wang Ge started making, another examinee passed in front of her, between the making area and the utensil rack, but there was no candidate for that coil of grass rope.

Two quarters later, she imitated the bottom of the smoked cage and began to weave diamond patterns.The weaving method of this kind of pattern is not difficult, but the difficulty is that each rhombus is consistent, and the cage noodles cannot look bumpy.

"Huh..." After making two rounds, she let out a long breath.Don't worry, keep your mind steady, Wang Ge, keep your mind steady...stable...stable...stable!

"Huh..." Continue to weave diamond patterns.

Rush weaving is almost the most delicate of all straw weaving skills!Impatient people cannot learn this art.This smoker cage is not big, and every grass used is integrated, and there is no extra grass stem in the provided materials.The two ends of its abdomen are closed and the middle is round. When weaving, be careful not to break the grass stems, because the overall shape of the mold is smooth, and there is no sign of breaking the grass roots and stuffing them.

The diamond-shaped lines are like the window lattices in her abode, and time passes in each diamond-shaped grid.

Outside, all candidates entered the utensil shed.

Wooden shed: 67 persons.

Bamboo shed: 21 persons.

Straw shed: 12 people.
