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

Chapter 160
Wang Zhu: "I think, I want to give it to Weng..." He shook his head, forget it, don't talk about it, my father won't pay.

Weng told him before: If we know that the person across from us won't reason with us, then we shouldn't argue with that kind of person.

Wang San saw that Erlang was afraid, and most of his anger disappeared. He went to the kitchen to fetch water and wiped the dirt on Wang Zhu's forehead. You are young, I don’t know, for a widow like Weng, the township office will definitely put him in a coffin. How old are you? It’s not your turn to worry about such things.”

"Yeah." But can a good coffin be the same as a thin coffin?The thin coffin might be gutted by rats within a few days.When Weng was alive, Weng was willing to give him whatever delicious food the pavilion officials brought him, and sometimes asked his neighbors to exchange new grains for pork to satisfy his hunger.Weng died, but he couldn't help anything.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhu burst into tears, feeling sorry for Weng.

Wang San pretended not to see it, and continued to persuade: "It's not easy for our farmers to save money. It's hard work every day, and I can't bear to eat a bite of the new grain I planted. But you? You ask for three hundred dollars as soon as you open your mouth." How dare you say that when an outsider puts the coffin in place! Have you ever thought about it, without you, Ge Cong, our third bedroom wouldn’t be able to save [-] yuan in a lifetime! From now on, you will be the same as before at home, with no money!”

"En." Wang Zhu lowered his head, and he will definitely pay back the debt owed to the long house.Because Weng also told him that if he was wrong, he was wrong, admit it frankly, and repay the debt frankly.

Weng said at the time: "The name A Zhu is so good. Bamboo is so tall and looks so strong. Doesn't it have to grow from one joint to the next? It's the same with people. Who dares to say that a person has lived for decades? Have you never had any quarrels or festivals with others? Acknowledge your mistakes, repay your debts, learn to be sensible when you are ignorant, what a big deal! After paying off your debts, you have made mistakes, Ah Zhu, you can be like the bamboo on the mountain, and the more you The higher you go, the more transparent your heart will be.”

In this way, every time Wang San tried to persuade him, Wang Zhu only responded, and the father and son gradually became speechless.

That night, Wang Sanlang tossed and turned, barely sleeping.He was still worried, and decided to look for an opportunity to hide the money in another place, so as to prevent A Zhu from stealing the money in a daze.Alas, if I had known that I would adopt this scorpion to the eldest son and leave Apeng behind.Everyone in the village is also blind. After so long, no one has proposed a remarriage with him.I have to hurry up and raise a few more, and get Azhu out early.

The next day, the township officials arrived and brought the coffin. After confirming that the widower died of a normal illness, he buried the body.Since Wang Zhuxiaolang was taking care of the elderly this year, the town officials rewarded Wang Zhu with several bags of new grain and two baskets of cloth and silk left by the widower in order to publicize his charitable deeds.

Wang Zhu couldn't accept it, and broke down in tears: "Weng used to talk about the disaster in Xunxi Township, and asked the officials to be the masters, and give the food and silk to the people affected by the disaster."

"Good! Good!" The town officials repeatedly praised.The education of civil households is one of the contents of the county examination and county governance performance every year. If the county magistrate is rewarded for this matter, all the officials in the Zhixiang Township will definitely be rewarded by the county magistrate.

How could Wang Sanlang understand the joy of the local officials?

A few bags of new grain are secondary, but the widower still has two baskets of cloth!

My God, silk!How much can you sell it for? !Until the village official left, Wang San felt as if he was seriously ill, and his limbs trembled with anger.Shuzi, Shuzi!He didn't say so much property yesterday, and he sent so much property to Xunxi Township as soon as he opened his mouth.It turned out that Zhuzi didn't listen to a single word of the reasoning he had been talking to him last night.

Still want to see a doctor?The head is lightly knocked, so let's go when it hurts.

The words are divided into two parts.

Wang Ge grabbed a fixed task today.

It's only the third day, and grabbing missions is like fighting a war.She didn't even eat breakfast, so she sat cross-legged at the gate of the wooden material area C (this sitting position takes up a lot of room) in advance. Fortunately, she came early, and soon there were several people sitting behind her.

At this time, she knew that not only the candidates from Tuyi County lived in Linmuyuan, but also a small number of candidates from the emergency training camp in Shanyin County.

The first "Chen Chu" announced the time, Wang Ge got up and ran, rushing to the nearest material pile, two craftsmen quickly counted the number of candidates, leaving only five candidates.

A total of 20 people remained in the whole area C.The rest had no choice but to leave to look for luck missions, because the fixed missions in each area must be emptied at the same time.

The craftsman shouted: "Wooden material area C, the task is the same... The six sons will compete for the competition!"

Wang Ge listened carefully to the mission rules. "Liuzi Lianfang" is what later generations called Luban locks, six wooden strips are assembled into a certain shape with a mortise and tenon structure.The molds obtained by the [-] prospective craftsmen are all six-piece joint formulas of the same standard.

Competition time limit: dismantling, imitation, a total of one hour.

The imitation wood is camphor wood.

The tools are a wide flat chisel, a narrow flat chisel, and a wooden hammer.

When observing and disassembling the mold, it is not allowed to make any marks on the mold, let alone draw pictures on the ground.Violators will lose their craftsman rank.

If it cannot be completed within an hour, it is regarded as a mission failure.Those who finish within the specified time limit, the last two will also be judged as failures.

Those who pass the task are eligible to participate in the six-child joint county-level competition three days later.

Wang Ge was so excited that he finally heard the news of the county-level competition!

The timing method here is not only the missing engraving, but also the timing drum.When the first drum sounded, she got rid of distracting thoughts, and like the others, picked up the six-child joint formula, and did not try to break the wooden strips as soon as it came up, but first memorized the shape and all the stitching gaps that could be observed.

The grains on the six wooden strips are almost the same, and if they are turned upside down, they will be mixed up.

In his previous life, Wang Nanxing disassembled and made many Luban locks, from the simplest three-way lock to the complex "big pineapple".It has to be said that the mortise and tenon technique is different from the tenon and tenon technique in architecture.Because many Luban locks have become commodities and are fixed in patterns, as long as you look at the illustrations, even if you are not a sculptor, you can follow the detailed steps to dismantle them or even imitate them as long as they are not too troublesome.

But she had never seen this one in her hand.

Haven't seen and have no fear!She does not believe that others have seen it.

After forced memory, Wang Ge began to try to break each piece of wood.No, they are solid as a whole, and all the stitching gaps seem to be camouflage.

There is definitely a trick.

She took a deep breath and persuaded herself: Hold your breath, hold your breath...

Boom!
The second drum sounded, and the heart that had just calmed down was raised again, and the time was so fast.

Be still, be still, be still.

Wang Ge took two deep breaths!Don't be afraid, although this is not one's own strong point, sooner or later this skill must be mastered as a strong point.

My palms were sweaty and I wiped them dry, but the block still couldn't move.Hands sweat again.

There are only eight quarters in an hour.You have to allow time for picking grooves and gouging holes.

Huh...huh...huh...quiet!
Bang, bang, bang... bang bang bang... She could hear herself gasping in embarrassment, and her heart was beating faster and faster.

The inspector walked back and forth in front of her, and with the third drum beat, a picture suddenly flashed in her overly concentrated brain!There is a pair of men's hands holding an irregular-shaped tenon-shaped lock. With the two fingers of his left hand, he pushes up a wooden bar, and at the same time, the index finger of his right hand pushes down the next wooden bar.

Following this scene, Wang Ge took turns trying by accident.

Untied!
Really unlocked!
Sweat dripped from her tense eyes.

It turns out that the remaining four wooden strips are to conceal the connection of these two.
