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

Chapter 20

Boom!
Boom!
The "Better Drum" at the south gate and the east gate sounded almost simultaneously, which means that two more craftsmen were eliminated.

This is the last day of the first exam, and the examiners are divided into two groups for the first time: one group is led by the main examiner and three assistant examiners; the other group is five assistant examiners.

Each craftsman will give a score, and more than 300 people will be eliminated, so the "not as good as the drum" will be played very frequently. When there is a coincidence, as now, two drums will be played at the same time.

Examiner Zheng and his entourage walked to the craftsmen's area.

"Candidate Zhang Qing?"

"Yes." Zhang Qing stood up in panic.

"Stay." With Zheng examiner's word, Zhang Qing heaved a sigh of relief, as if he was relieved.

Following the examiner, it was Wang Ge's turn to get nervous.After the "whacking tube" was taken away by the examiner, she never returned it to her. I don't know if it worked?

However, her main work "Combined Measuring Instrument" has also been completed.

Deputy examiner Xu picked up the object, and everyone checked it carefully and rated it.

First look at the standard of this object: the side is trapezoidal, and the upper and lower openings are square.The whole is made of bamboo bamboo, with small gaps, and it is very smooth no matter it is seen or touched.

Let's look at the practical value again: if you turn this object with the big mouth up, it is a "fighting tool"; if you turn it upside down, with the small mouth facing up, it is a "lifting tool".

On both sides of the main body, there are two ring handles: one handle has a thin ring, which is used to catch the "tool"; the other ring is thick, with a small hole in the middle, which is used to hold the "tool".

All the examiners know that this object is imitating the "Jialiang" invented by the Mang Dynasty.

The lack of the largest "Dhu ware" is probably not due to the fact that the examinee did not have time to weave it. It should be that the little girl is cautious, fearing that "Jialiang" is an important weapon of the country. If she weaves privately, even if she only imitates its shape, it will be a taboo.

Didn't you see her head hanging lower and lower?

Examiner Zheng said: "According to the past practice, there is only one carpenter's quota for Zhixiang. In terms of basic skills, you are stronger than Zhang Qing, but you are older than him. Your current basic skills may not be better than Zhang Qing in a few years' time. .”

The little finger of Wang Ge's left hand is already in the palm of his hand, waiting for the next one.If the examiner felt that Zhang Qing was threatened by her craftsmanship and wanted to eliminate her and protect Zhang Xiaolang, just put it bluntly, there was no need to tell her so much.

Sure enough, the other party said again: "Your real advantage is the ingenuity you made on the first day, which proves your creative talent. This game is for you to pass. Next, you need to better show your unique talent." .”

"Yes."

After the examiners left the area, one of the deputy examiners asked: "This examinee's basic skills are considered top-notch among all craftsmen. Will Zhang Qing catch up in a few years?"

Examiner Zheng: Nonsense!I don't know?The county magistrate asked me to scare Miss Wang, what can I do?
At the beginning of the evening, the first exam was over, and a total of three or three craftsmen were eliminated, leaving 330 whole.

Counting Wang Ge and Zhang Qing among the Zhixiang, 12 people were retained.

The retained artisans must take away the finished products and are not allowed to stay in the venue.They also need to find their own local officials to change the number plate. Every time they are eliminated, the number plate belongs to the craftsman, which is also a proof of qualifications.The vast majority of craftsmen cannot pass the examination as a craftsman, but with the number plate, it is easier to become a servant than ordinary craftsmen.

Finally came out of the examination room, the Muxiang official took away the old number plates of Wang Ge and others, and after replacing them with new ones, he said: "You can't run around tonight, tomorrow Maozheng will enter the arena from the east gate, the competition area will be changed, and the number plates used for the competition will be changed." The materials remain unchanged. Therefore, individual craftsmen pay attention to adjusting the amount of materials used in the second round, so as not to find that there are no available materials in the third round."

Following Qi Shuashua's "Yes", the Muxiang official showed a gratified smile: "Don't be tense all the time, go shopping nearby, just come back here after dark. In addition, Qinghezhuang is buying finished products, you can go there later Take a look, gain knowledge."

The little craftsmen walked away with the elders in the family, and then the Muxiang official took out the money bag and handed it to Wang Ge: "Come back before dark."

"I don't need the money, please keep it safe for me, sir, I'm going to sell this now." She shook her head with a smile, picked up the bamboo measuring vessel, and hurried to Qinghezhuang to buy it.

Along the way, Wang Ge found that the number of people not only did not decrease, but increased.Especially at the purchase office, which is surrounded by the inner three floors and the outer three floors, not only the craftsmen are asking prices, but also all kinds of businessmen who came from afar are also exchanging business with Qinghezhuang.

"Sister Wang, hurry up, there are few people here." Zhang Qing called her, and his father followed closely, holding the bamboo mat with one hand and protecting Erlang with the other.

Wang Ge came over and called out politely: "Hi Uncle, Brother Zhang."

"A girl who dares to come to the county alone is better than my Ah Qing!" Zhang's father was in his forties, with a naturally festive face, and Wang Ge praised him with a pursed smile.

She immediately praised back: "Adi Zhang is the best young man I have ever seen!"

Father Zhang was elated, Zhang Qing blushed shyly.

After a while, it was their turn.The bamboo mat made by Zhang Qing sold for [-] yuan, and the father and son happily went to the food stall.

Wang Ge's combined measuring instrument sold for 120 yuan, which made her very happy, so she hurriedly handed over the newly earned money to the Muxiang officials for safekeeping.

The next day the weather was bad, and when the twelve craftsmen entered through the east gate with the Muxiang officials, it was abnormally dark. Fortunately, the canopy built by the candidates was also moved along with the materials.

The scope of the entire competition is reduced, the north and west gates are closed, and only the east and south entrances are left.

When the exam started, it started to rain.

The sore on Huan Zhen's butt finally scabbed over, and it opened a little after this.But he only took a breath, and walked slowly to the window, opened the window, and watched the rain dripping along the tile eaves.

How can the sins of the world be washed away only by the drizzle?More thunderous means are needed!

On the short case behind him, there were two leaflets spread out, which were the detailed records of Jiangcheng's mother-killing written last night.When he stabbed Jiangcheng alive, there was rust on the dagger, which caused the opponent's tendons to constrict and convulse incessantly to die within a day.The detailed statement can only be written by him with injuries.

The first handbook was written about Jiangcheng's motives for killing his father.

When Jiang county magistrate forced Niezi to reveal the ins and outs of his mother's murder, he was so angry that he immediately burned the cart because Jiangcheng had tampered with the bullock cart.But magistrate Jiang soon regretted it, because the act of burning the car would become a bigger flaw!

This contributed to Jiangcheng's final patricide!If his father is not dead, he will not only vent his anger on the Chang family, what if the Ting Wei's mansion comes to investigate the case and ask why the ox cart was burned?How would his father answer Ting Wei Mansion?Will he confess to him about killing his mother in order to save his own life?

The second brochure is the details of Jiang Cheng's murder of his mother.

Meng Shi has a habit of riding in a car. She likes to be alone and never lets her maidservant into the car.The long couch she was sitting on was covered with thick cushions, and the left part was remodeled by Jiangcheng. The silk wadding inside was uneven, making it uncomfortable to sit on.As a result, Meng Shi has been sitting on the right side of the couch, leaning against the right car window.

Mengshi also has a problem, motion sickness, in order to prevent vomiting, there is always preserved fruit in the box in the car.The preserved fruit was Jiang Cheng's second manipulation, and it was drugged.

The third trick is the bull that Huan Zhen and others suspect!The old cow in Meng's car had tiny bamboo thorns pierced on his right legs, and when he was pulling the cart, he sank further and further to the right, which caused Meng's severe motion sickness.

So soon after leaving the county, Meng ate a lot of preserved fruit and fell into a coma.Before she fell into a coma, she leaned against the window to try her best to breathe because she felt extremely sick.

Not long after the two ox carts of the master and servant drove up the official road, a servant from Jiangcheng dressed up as a traveler and followed them in an ox cart.

When Meng's front car turned onto the dirt road full of peach blossoms, the young man drove the oxen and overtook them quickly, just like that, they were separated between the master and servant ox carts.

Then, the servant yelled "drive, drive", pretending to overtake the car in front, but the actual purpose was to drive along the same road for a long time, squeezing Meng's car into the bushes on the side of the road.

Like this kind of dirt road, the sides are not compacted at all, and the old cow can hear the voice of the boy, and with the sound of "driving", the driver runs faster and faster, and the driver can't hold it at all.

Just like that, Meng's head was bouncing back and forth on the car window, scratched to pieces by thorn branches, and he didn't make a sound until he died.

After this case, Jiang Cheng led his brothers to cut down the thorns, not to vent his anger, but because Jiang Cheng was afraid that the thorns would be stained with his mother's blood, and there was an eyeball hanging from a slanted branch.

Therefore, Meng's death has nothing to do with Peach Blossom Forest.

Her death was only because of... Zhi Mu Mo Ruo Zi!
