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

Chapter 182
Wang Tian grew up in Shanyin County. Knowing that this is a common method used by shopkeepers outside the city to raise prices, he stretched out his hand, "Show me if it's worth it."

The little peddler was not worried that someone would steal the goods and run away, so he just told Wang Tian, ​​"Don't make it dirty", and handed the wooden pendant to Wang Tian.

This is a carved wooden vessel with upper and lower parts, and the two wooden blanks are only the size of copper coins.In the upper part, there are pedestrians on the rainy road, and the pedestrians are running with their hands covering their foreheads. There are countless potholes splashed on the ground. It is obvious that they are hiding from the rain, and there is no rain in the whole picture; the lower part is a farmer harvesting grain...

A middle-aged man stretched out his big palm to Wang Tian, ​​and shouted at the little peddler, "I bought this. Is there any other good stuff? Tsk tsk tsk, don't hide it, take it all out!"

Wang Tian went back to manage that it was too late for the elder brother to ask for money, so he gave the pendant to the middle-aged man, and when he came out of the crowd, he heard the little man call the man Feng's man, apparently they knew each other.

Wang Tian returned to the convoy with his left toe on the ground and his right foot hopping. "Brother Xie, guess what rare thing I saw just now? The shopkeeper sells goods to the shopkeeper."

"And then?"

"Then I had no money, so I came back. Let me ask you a question, why does the shopkeeper sell goods to the shopkeeper?"

"One sits in a circle of merchants, and the other walks the streets after buying goods. Although they are all peddlers, there is a difference between merchants and merchants."

Wang Tian jumped out of the bullock cart again, and limped over to his elder brother: "Did my mother touch her stomach when she gave birth to me?"

Wang Changyu...

"Otherwise, why is Eldest Brother smart, Brother Huan and Brother Wen are all smart, even Hu Zi is smart, why am I the only one who is stupid?"

"You are not stupid."

"Really?"

"Well. Remember, whenever you want to talk, especially when you feel bored if you don't talk, take five breaths. If you still want to talk, take another five breaths. Others will think that you are as smart as them, even better than them Still smart."

"So Easy?"

"So Easy."

"That……"

"Hush." ​​Wang Changyu put his finger in front of Wang Tian's mouth, signaling his second brother to restrain himself.

Wang Tian heaved and fell following the rhythm of his elder brother's chest rising and falling, five breaths passed, and another five breaths passed.

Wang Changyu patted him on the shoulder approvingly: "You didn't talk back this time, it seems that you listened to what I just said. This is progress."

Wang Tian returned to the car behind in a daze.

Xie Ju asked: "Brother Tian, ​​do you know Lin Mu Yuan?"

Wang Tian's chest rose and fell exaggeratedly, staring blankly at Xie Ju, counting: one, two, three...

Thank you for jumping.

The team moved forward slowly and finally entered the city.

Forest Court.

Wang Ge solved the answer to the animal question: eight beasts and seven birds.

Start to carve wooden utensils, which are similar in shape to "counting boards".

The outer frame is eighteen inches in length and one foot in length, and a beam is added in the middle of the length.The edge thickness of the beam is only half of the thickness of the vertical frame.

Inside the counting board, there are 2 upright poles, all of which are in the shape of a square, and the distance between each pole is more than eight minutes ([-] cm).

On the ten vertical poles, "six-headed quadruped beasts" are wedged; the other ten wedges are "four-headed bipedal birds".

One animal hits one bird, one bird hits one beast, and this method is repeated until the twenty vertical poles are wedged.

The thickness of the outer frame and the ribs are more than half-divided (6 mm), and the beam is halved.The upright pole should not be too thin, just half the width is enough, if it is too thin, it will be easily broken when children fiddle with it.The thickness of the pole is more than one and a half minutes (4 mm), and a part of the thickness overlaps with the beam.

The pole is the keel of the beam, and the beam is the spine of the pole.

Relatively speaking, the calculation board is easy to engrave.After determining the size standard, except for the top horizontal frame, the rest are carved with whole wood.After the ten beasts and ten birds are wedged, the top frame is spliced ​​together to form a complete counting board.

Jasher Village.

Wang Sanlang dumped grain bags in the utility room.Originally, there was exactly one bucket of grain in each bag, which is the case in non-Jiashe village. When going to sell or buy grain in the village, the grain store also holds grain in the same way.

He just came up with a clever trick. He poured the grain into the wooden bucket, took out a handful, and pulled the upper layer of grains, and there was no shortage of grain at all.Grabbing two handfuls will not work, but one and a half?Put back ten pills, put back five pills...

OK.For each bucket of wheat, grab a small handful and then take a dozen or so grains, and take a look at it, and there are no shortages in the bucket.

You have to plan carefully to live a life, and don't be afraid of trouble.He was tired and sweaty. In order to prevent mistakes and being caught by the tenant farmers, he poured every bag of wheat into the wooden hopper, and after making sure that there was no problem after a handful of grain was missing, he poured it into the grain bag again.

Ok?What if you add more than a dozen grains of bran to it?Wouldn't it save a dozen grains of grain?
Wang Sanlang was exhausted, he took a breath, and scolded Wang Zhu: "Damn Lizi, it's time to work hard, and I don't know where he went."Really useless, if I knew that Zhuzi was stupid, I should have kept Apeng!
It was not early in the afternoon.

Wang Ge stroked her throat, and wiped down the choked wheat cake, and then swallowed, well, after a while, the water soaked the cake in her stomach, and she would not be hungry anymore.

The abacus has been engraved, and the carving of "six four-legged beasts" has started.

The requirement for solving the problem is to make arithmetic utensils that can arouse children's interest, so it must not be carved literally. No matter what kind of beast or bird, a few heads and feet will become very scary.

Furthermore, "six poems and four legs" must be a whole template.

The six regions are all small square blocks, arranged up and down, with two in each row.The outermost tops of the six small square blocks are all obliquely carved with small "bull horns".There are six corners in total.Just use the "horn" to mean a beast, and don't carve a beast face with five sense organs.

The cross-sections of the six small square blocks cannot be left blank, and letters are engraved separately.Engraved in the spring of the 24 solar terms are "Lichun, Rain, Waking of Insects, Vernal Equinox, Qingming, and Grain Rain". Spring means "everything grows", and uses this meaning to dilute children's fear and rejection of the "six-headed beasts".

The four-legged area under the template is all rectangular.The outermost lower ends of the four rectangles are all obliquely carved with small "cow hooves".A total of four hooves.

The cross-sections of the four small rectangular blocks are engraved with "East, South, West, and North" respectively, implying "the cattle plow the four directions".

From "six heads" to "four legs", a vertical groove is chiseled in the middle of the whole formwork, the width should be able to fit into the vertical pole (not too tight), accommodate half the thickness of the vertical pole, and leave a slight gap with the beam.

Since the "six poems" and the "four-legged" form a whole, pushing the "four-legged" is equivalent to pushing the "six poems". The position of the frame, or push the "six heads" to the top of the pole (the top horizontal frame has not been installed), and the "quadruped" is always under the beam.

Likewise, "Six" is always above the crossbar.

After the vertical grooves have been dug, drill slot holes on the top and bottom of the animal formwork (referring to the surplus from the top of the square wooden block and the surplus from the bottom of the rectangular wooden block), four holes in total.Then cut two small "凵" shaped pieces of wood and cut the tenon.After the four tenons and four grooves are aligned and the size is right, the final step of the first beast template is left.

The formwork is stuck vertically on the pole, and buckled up and down with two small "凵"-shaped wooden blocks until it can't be pressed.The seam left in the middle is just enough to allow the animal template to push and pull on the column. Because the column is square, the animal template will never turn or turn over.

The first beast template was not proficient, and it took a long time. Wang Ge grinned and moved his back, and started to make the second one.Make all the beast templates, and then make the bird templates.

Shenzheng time in the afternoon.

reed pavilion.

Wang, Weng, and the old couple pushed the wheelbarrow home, and Aai sat on it, laughing out of joy.The old couple didn't think it was funny at first, but seeing their granddaughter so happy, they couldn't keep their mouths shut.

Wei Ting bought five new wheelbarrows, and every household in the Ting family who has an elderly person over the age of 55 can get one.This is considered a big addition, the Wang family can be unhappy.

"Father? Mother... Ah Ai, is it Ah Ai?" Wang Zhu finally saw the backs of the familiar family members, pulled his legs and chased after him, getting closer, getting closer!
When he called "Big Mother", his jaw was already trembling violently, and tears and snot were streaming out.
