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

Chapter 172 Making a Nine-Palace Grid

If Wang Yun did not have the status of an official student of Qinghezhuang Primary School, it would be fine for the three of Xie Ju to just tell him about Wang Ge.

The discussion of the four friends quickly turned to exegesis, and then to the current family precepts.Xie Ju highly praised Zhuge Wuhou's "Book of Commandments", Sima Nandi praised Sima Hui's "Book of Commandments", Bian Zun praised Liu Xuande's "Legend of the Empress", and Wang Yun highly praised Wang Wenshu's "Family Commandments".

Uncle Yuan Yan looked back at Wang Yun, relieved, and continued to chat with Wang Changyu and others.There are obviously a lot of craftsmen standing on the shore, but no one brings up this topic.

Wang Changyu had just returned from Luoyang, and what he was talking about was what he had seen and heard along the way.

Uncle Yuan Yan was talking about the disaster in Xunqi Township last year.

What Xie Yiyan described was the lively scene where craftsmen and prospective craftsmen in Shanyin County gathered.

Sima Chong shouted: "Look, there is a big fish!"

"I see, I see!" Brother Sima Nan was very proud of his uncle, if he hadn't come here one step earlier, it would have been more like giving his uncle face.

It turned out that the four friends talked about "The Analects" and "Shangshu" from the family precepts of the past dynasties.Brother Nan can't keep up, she hasn't studied "Shangshu" yet.

Fulu Carpenter Shop.

Wang Ge thought about what to make.

Saw the wood first.The bamboo material is temporarily unusable, so only the millstone is taken out, and the rest is pushed aside.

The wood is camphor wood, which is soft and easy to carve.

Saw four long wooden strips first, and the shape is a square column.

Traditional sawing and sawing techniques were basically eliminated during the time of Wang Nanxing in the previous life.There is no way to do this, there is a useful chainsaw, who spends double the time to use the most primitive saw.

The two ends of the two wooden strips are sharpened; the two ends of the other two are cut out with a carving knife.

The tool is not good, so it can only make do.Only three tools are allowed for each material: a carving knife is a must; an ax actually acts as a hammer, and choosing a hammer alone is not as good as choosing an axe; let alone a copper saw, it is absolutely indispensable.

She should be thankful that there are whetstones in the bamboo tools.

It is even more fortunate that everyone has a tool stool provided by the craftsman.

While cutting wood with a carving knife, Wang Ge sketched out the steps of making the utensils.

What she wants to make is a nine-square grid, the kind with 81 digital grids.

Jiugongge originated from Hetu Luoshu.

Hetu is the star map, and Luoshu is the source of the five elements. The earliest records of them can be found in "Shangshu". The theory of yin and yang in the world has been debated for thousands of years, and it is known as the "Universal Rubik's Cube".The legend of Hetu Luoshu, in Wang Ge's previous life, was included in the fourth batch of national intangible cultural heritage list in 2014 as a folk literature project.

The competition has no requirements on the shape of the utensils, but it must conform to the meaning of the word "well".

Tic Tac Toe has many meanings, combined with the previous competition, she thinks it should be inclined to "organization" and "order".So what is more suitable than the well-connected Jiugongge?

Wang Ge's knowledge is limited, and the rest of the information about the Jiugongge is that it was originally called "Luoshu". In addition, the Jiugong in the Han Dynasty is "four positive and four dimensions are combined in fifteen".

These are what Huan Zhen listened to when she told Hutou.Huan Langjun also tested her at that time and asked her to repeat it.She is not a genius who can remember it after listening to it once. She recited: "Four righteous and four false are all haha ​​donkey fifteen." Then the other party took the kudzu bamboo ruler she made and slammed the palm of her left hand.

Then, she remembered this sentence.

Maybe she felt that she knew a lot, so she complacently set a goal and started to operate.Unexpectedly, among the 99 craftsmen competing, 90 of them are making Jiugongge.

With her, there are 91 kinds of Jiugongge, who can stand out?

stabbing, stabbing...

stabbing, stabbing...

What a sweet sound of chopping wood, the thin wood cut by the blade sometimes curled and fell, and sometimes it was cut into lines.

stabbing, stabbing...

"Huh." She gently blew the sawdust away.

After the square outer frame is made, first test whether the tenons and grooves are suitable, and do not connect them completely, because the upper and lower outer frames (both ends of which are tenons) need to dig nine grooves each.These slots are used to attach the straight posts.

Now set aside the four outer frames and start making nine upright columns.

Saw wood again!
The nine columns are all four-sided straight columns, half thinner than the frame and equal in thickness to the frame.Of course, this thickness is temporary.

In order not to grind these uprights later (lack of tools), she had to saw the required width and thickness to the standard at one time.The length is easy to solve, a matter of one axe.

Why is a craftsman better than a craftsman?Looking around, it is clear that among the hundred competitors, none of them chose a wooden ruler among their tools.

After sawing the nine pillars, we began to dig grooves one by one.This step itself is easy, but the speed is delayed by the tool.She took a deep breath helplessly, complaining was useless, and cut the knife.

Ten slots are dug for each column, half as deep as the thickness.The protrusions separated from the grooves are the tenons for installing the digital wooden blocks.Every time a groove was dug, Wang Ge had to sharpen the blade back and forth twice.Pay attention to the angle of the knife, and don't break the edge out of the gap.

Time just passed by moment by moment.

Phew... After blowing the sawdust, her left hand was sore, so she switched to her right hand and continued digging.The ointment given by the female official Meng before is very effective, if the right wrist still hurts now, it will be even more troublesome.

early noon.

Wang Ge combined the frame of Jiugongge with mortise and tenon, and put it aside after it was installed.

The examination room provided lunch, so she didn't have time to eat, she didn't even have time to take a sip of water.

Start making digital blocks.

The whole Jiugongge is not big, each wooden block has a side length of one inch in cross section and is square.Half the thickness of the frame.A total of 81 were made.

When Hutou was learning Jiujiu Table, Wang Ge thought about the Jiugongge game.Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. She has always believed in this truth.

Saw the slats first.

Crack, cluck, cluck... split the sticks with an axe.

Every time the ax goes down, what is cut out is definitely a one-inch square!

After the 81 small square blocks are cut, the first group of numbers is engraved first.

For these nine digital blocks, the slots at the bottom of each should exactly match the tenons on the uprights.Carve the number "two" first, install it on the first column and tenon on the left, and knock it in with the back of an axe.She tried to shake it, it was firm.

Then engrave the number "three" and wedge it into the sixth tenon from the top to the bottom of the left column.

The second column from the left is empty.

The third column from the left and the tenon at the bottom is the number "nine".

The fourth column, the fourth tenon from top to bottom, is the number "eight".

Just like that, after setting up nine fixed numbers, start to make movable number blocks.

The difference between the movable number block and the fixed number block is the slot eye at the bottom.The slot hole should be wide first and then narrow. Narrow does not mean smaller than the tenon, but just fits the tenon (the same standard as the fixed number block).

This design is to determine the position where the movable number is installed, and press it with a little force, the wooden block will sink and the wedge will be firmly secured.

"It's not the beginning." The patrolman announced the time.

Wang Ge didn't have time to get nervous, so he accelerated the engraving of numbers.Not for beauty, but for neatness and clarity.Fortunately, each number has fewer strokes, so "five" and "six" are relatively troublesome.

"Not right."

The assessment is about to end, and the interval between reporting time is shortened.

"Two quarters left."

The block is done!Wang Ge put down the carving knife.He only hesitated for a breath, and immediately stripped bamboo!She couldn't let the pieces of wood clutter.
