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

Chapter 39

The two sisters and brothers have not met Tie Feng directly, so they don't recognize him.Wang Ge first motioned for the eldest father to talk to the shopkeeper, but she didn't let Ah Yun follow, she stepped forward, didn't answer Tie Feng's question, and ignored the rolling lamp in the other's hand, and asked instead: "Isn't Mr. Lang from the village?"

Tie Feng secretly praised: The little lady is quite cautious! "Does Wang Jiangtong recognize this Ge Lantern?"

"Ge Lantern? What's wrong?"

Tie Feng said in a low voice: "By the Qinghe River, the mountains are high and the water is long. Do you know when there will be no more meetings? Don't worry Wang Jiangtong. Drinking horses by the river."

Wang Ge remembered that there were indeed many parts at that time, so he hurriedly saluted: "Excuse me, sir, please sit down and drink a bowl of water?"

"Don't bother me too much. That's it. After exchanging tokens with your younger brother last night, my young master took a fancy to this kind of kudzu lanterns. I have to buy a batch before noon the next day. They must be the same size. Hemp candle, make sure the candle plate is clean." He took out a bunch of money from the cloth bag, saw Miss Wang's smile reaching his eyes, and there were tears of gratitude, so he raised his voice so that everyone in the courtyard could hear: "Every day A bamboo lantern can be purchased for two renminbi, is Wang Jiangtong likely to accept this price?"

"Yes. Don't worry, sir, I guarantee that every bamboo stick will use green bamboo strips." Wang Ge was overjoyed, and turned to look at Dafu and the others.

Wang Weng said to Merchant Feng, "Wait a moment", and hurried over.

Tie Feng bowed to the old man, handed out the money string, and said, "Old man, this is two hundred fixed money, you count it." He looked at Wang Ge again, "I will come to pick up the goods at noon the day after tomorrow, can you make it?" How much is paid, how much my son buys, and the fixed amount will be refunded and the less will be compensated."

"Don't worry, my lord, I will hurry up."

Wang Weng counted the money slowly, but Tie Feng was not in a hurry.

Wang Ge called to brother: "Bring two bamboo dragonflies here."

Wang Yun was obedient and did as he was told.Wang Ge roasted the sharp beaks of all the bamboo dragonflies with a small fire, and bent the sharp beaks slightly downward.Such a change not only makes the image of the dragonfly more lively, but also makes the beak more secure when resting on fingers or wooden sticks.

After Ah Di brought it, Wang Ge held one up to Tie Feng with both hands.

Tie Feng looked at the bamboo dragonfly spliced ​​by several bamboo pieces, and he didn't dislike it. This was the wish of the two brothers.Didn't Miss Wang be so solemn, she gave him one by one...

In the polite smile of the other party, Wang Ge casually put the bamboo dragonfly on the tip of his index finger, and the bamboo dragonfly hung in the air like a splash of water, hanging steadily.

Tie Feng's smiling mouth was just grinning like this, and he closed it when he was drooling.

The salesman came over in two steps, his eyes piercing: "Wang Jiangtong, I'll take this!"

In the west of the village, on the brand-new road paved with mellow soil, the pioneers of the township drove donkeys and livestock and pulled stone rollers to roll the soft road surface back and forth.Then each group of two ministers held the handle of the iron tamping tool facing each other, lifted it up vigorously, and rammed it down heavily to make the soil layer more compact.

This is just the first round of ramming. As the mellow soil is laid, more and more ministers will join in the ramming work. Repeatedly, over and over again, the entire new road will be smashed as hard as a brick. stone.Strictly rammed mellow soil roads will not grow weeds, will not be washed away by rain, will not be crushed by carts and horses, and can be used normally for at least ten or even decades.

Huan Zhen could hear the sound of rammed earth when he was in the latrine a little far away.

Cheng Shuang squatted outside, and the haystack in front of him was the roof of the thatched hut that had been dismantled.He pulled it carefully, not to mention the bowstring, there was a needle hidden in it, and he probably already found it. "Huan Zhen, did you find anything?" he called.

"No." Huan Zhen replied.The roof of the shed is empty, with bright sunlight shining through. A total of three pits and cesspools have been cleaned up. There are a few drops of blood on the ground, and the walls are surrounded by earth walls that are slightly taller than a person. What places can be left that have not been searched?What clues could be missed?Even the cobwebs coiled under the corner of the wall can be seen at a glance.

The spider web is still quite complete.Huan Zhen tilted his head slightly, and stretched out his feet to break it.Think too much, there is nothing underneath.He came out with his hands folded, and Cheng Chengshuang shook his head.

When the two returned to Hufu's morgue, Ren Suzhi and Dan Ying were already furious.Cheng Shuang joined in, and the three cursed and cursed, but Huan Zhen still didn't give up. He looked down at Hu Fu's body from above, and suddenly asked, "Has anyone searched him?"

Shan Ying: "The first search was for this dung corpse. His ears and eyes were cleaned up, except for the rear orifice..."

As he paused, Ren Suzhi and he stepped forward and turned over the corpse.

Huan Zhen turned his back in disdain, and after a few breaths, he let Ren Suzhi laugh out loud: "I found it! Haha, this thief is really good at finding a place..." As soon as the excitement passed, he was immediately vomited .

Half an hour later, Xiangzheng arrived, and severely punished Ren Suzhi and a few soldiers who were begging for robbers.

No one cares about Huanzhen for the time being, he is playing with the balance of the bamboo dragonfly, and confuses Tie Feng and Tie Lei: "This bamboo dragonfly can be suspended in the air not only on the fingertips, but on any place that can support its sharp beak." The appearance of its whole body hanging in the air is actually the use of human vision. The center point of the entire weight of the dragonfly is at the sharp beak! The weights around this position are all equal, which is the trick to stabilizing the dragonfly.”

After Tie Lei suddenly realized, he praised: "Huan Lang is very knowledgeable, and he can figure out such principles."

"I figured out the truth only after seeing this thing. Miss Wang figured out the truth first, and then figured out this thing. The order is reversed, the world is different. Are you sure she is the first-class craftsman who passed the exam?"

Tie Feng replied: "Yes. I asked several villagers to confirm it. The strange thing is that the local officials came to Jiashe Village specially, and rewarded Wang Hu with consistent money on the grounds that Miss Wang passed the examination as a first-class craftsman boy. .”

"Even if she was admitted as a first-class craftsman, there is no precedent for her to be rewarded. I understand, it was rewarded by my good uncle. Counting the time, the time when the fire bag and the fire extinguisher appeared, it was the time when the carpenter class was in Qinghezhuang every day." time for the exam."

"Then do you still need to buy some bamboo dragonflies from Miss Wang?" Tie Lei asked.

"No. If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it; if its behavior is higher than that of others, everyone will criticize it. She is only ten years old, so we can't praise her too much."

Tie Lei scratched his nose: Huan Lang, have you forgotten that you are only 12 years old.

Tie Feng: "Yes. Wang Hu is an ordinary farmer's family. They have suddenly become rich, and they must be jealous."

Huan Zhen smiled indifferently: "This is the second. Only when people are in adversity can they constantly move their minds and make a living, which shows her unique craftsmanship talent. Lamps, bamboo dragonflies, what other interesting utensils can she make."

"Look, Huan Lang, that man is the shopkeeper who was in Wang's house just now." Tie Feng pointed to the distance.

Huan Zhen followed the pointer and looked over.

Merchant Feng came to stay at the construction site. He ordered fifty bamboo dragonflies, plus the bamboo food boxes and bamboo curtain mats that Wang Jiangtong said, so he came here with his mule.The pavilion guards at Linshui Pavilion often encountered salesmen staying overnight, so they didn't make things difficult for them, and allowed the salesmen to stay in the village soldier's thatched shed.

Besides Wang Ge, those six rolling lamps must not be sold to the shopkeeper. The ones with sewed Ge covers were removed and the candle trays were replaced with new ones. If this is the case, there are still 94.From now on, she will only be busy with the work of rolling the lamps, explaining the balance principle of the bamboo dragonfly to the eldest father, and let the eldest father do the work of the shopkeeper.

Wang Peng and Wang Yun were also not idle, and the two children cut the hemp rope into sections for later use.

Wang Dalang is optimistic about Wang Ai.

Wang Ge made a plan, and while it was still bright, he first stripped bamboo strips and prepared all the materials.Linshui Pavilion patrols the night every night, and dare not turn off the stove when it is stuck, but it should not matter when it is Haishi, when it will be lit by the fire, it will be easier to tie the hemp rope to the bamboo ring, aunt, second uncle, and younger sister Shu can help.

　Rammer: rammer, sound hāng.A tool for compacting the ground and making the soil layer firm.
