Chapter 58 Bamboo Flute with Eight Holes
"Cuyi County, Beiluli, Liu...Guo."

"Hefang Township, Ouli, Fu...Guo."

"Zhixiang, Dongxiangli, Wei...the skills are not as good as others."

"Zhi Township, Jiashe Village, Wang Ge, pass."

"Hefang Township, Luoyue Pavilion, Zheng Que, let's go!"

"Xunqi Township, Zhagoutun, Shi...the skills are not as good as people's."

As time progressed, and it approached noon, the famous drums and inferior drums were hammered in and out of the examination room, becoming more and more intensive, and the shouts of drummers and eliminated candidates often overlapped.

The sound of becoming famous pierces the clouds and cracks rocks, and some people can't help but follow the excitement, so that they can think sharply within a hair, and their skills are more profound than usual;

Those who are not as skilled as others are also different when they return to the sidelines.Some wandered and sat quietly, waiting for the admission results of the craftsman examination; some had already packed their bags and set foot on the return journey.

This time Wang Ge finally heard clearly that the candidate who always made one more utensil than her was named Zheng Que.Hefang Township is more than Zheng Que, who has heard the name of this township several times in the famous drum.And in the east alley of Wuzhi Township?Isn't that where Liu Xiaolang lives?
At this moment, Wang Ge is leaving the production area in the east corner, and there are no simple models in the utensil shed there.Four hours had passed since Yinzheng entered the arena, and she began to be hungry, especially thirsty. She was holding the toolbox cage, which was quite relaxed, and her hands gradually sank.As for holding back urine, it's not like she doesn't feel it, but every time this thought comes up, she deliberately ignores it by thinking about other things.

Seeing a bamboo brush mold, she hesitated a little, but she didn't choose it.Don't be deceived by its appearance, if the number of strands of each bamboo slice is different, it will take twice as long to imitate.

After the bamboo brush is the broom, only two are placed on the utensil bed.

keep going!Rattan ropes, straw sandals, bamboo mats for one person, wooden pulleys... more than a dozen utensil beds in a row are all time-consuming and complicated models.

The fan bones of the folding fan? !

broken!There is only one, and the material is on the other side of the utensil bed!Wang Ge hurriedly ran forward to find a passage to go around, but when he looked back worriedly, some candidates took the mold away.

This matter has to be looked at, she continued to search quickly out of breath.Then he stopped in front of the bamboo flute's utensil bed with some doubts.I remember that when she first became famous, she crossed paths with a candidate who made a bamboo flute. Why was the candidate eliminated with such a simple model?And at that time, she was sure that she didn't hear the voice test by the craftsman, which proved that there was no pitch test at all.

In front, behind, and on the opposite side, there are candidates gathering towards her position. It is obvious that there is no easy way to go forward.

Then choose it.When she grabbed the bamboo flute, she attracted envious eyes from other candidates.

Wang Ge had made bamboo flutes in his previous life, and their shapes were much more complex and delicate than the current model.

The bamboo material of this flute model is purple bamboo, with eight holes. It may be because the bamboo of purple bamboo is hard that only the openings are scraped green.There are two bamboo joints on the flute body, one hole is outside the bamboo joint of the flute head, and the remaining seven holes are all in the second bamboo joint.The distribution of the eight holes from the mouthpiece to the tail is: two, three, three.

Looking at the internal structure again, she knew the reason why the craftsman did not check the intonation. The inside of the flute turned out to be a transparent empty tube without a plug!
Flute making without sound inspection?It's really strange.Anyway, it’s a good thing, she didn’t think about it anymore, and looked at the materials: ten thin purple bamboo tubes, the thickness of which was about the same as a flute mold by visual inspection; there was also a palm-length drilling nail, made of iron, and the pole in her hand was made of wood. system.

That's all for the material.

Wang Ge took off the hemp rope again and used the wooden ruler to measure the inner diameter of the flute mold first, and then measured the inner diameters of the ten pieces of material in turn.Don’t think that ten bamboo tubes are the opportunity for candidates to make flutes ten times. This is just to allow candidates to accurately measure a purple bamboo tube with the most suitable inner diameter to imitate the flute model. Judgment is a failure.

After choosing the bamboo pipe, the cautiousness in her bones made her take a closer look at the internal structure of the flute mold.It's really transparent...Wang Ge just thought of it, and suddenly took a deep breath!

Find the light and look carefully, and you can understand why the candidate was eliminated.

There is an inconspicuous and small mark engraved on the inside of the flute tail: a horizontal flute.The engraving is really horizontal and vertical!
The examinee either didn't find the mark, or the imitation was not standard.

None of the fixing tools can draw in such a thin pipe diameter. The only thing that can be used is the drilling nail. No wonder the nail body is so short.

At this moment mark, have to stay at the end!
Wang Ge sighed slightly, this time he was unlucky, this mold was more laborious than a bamboo brush.But I finally know what it is testing.

The first step in imitating this flute model is to outline the outline of the scratch.Put the mold and the material bamboo tube side by side on the operation plank, and tie them with the plank with hemp rope to prevent rolling.Use a wooden ruler to compare, and use a carving knife to pierce a number of positioning points on the outline of the scraped green material on the bamboo tube.

After confirming that it is correct, pull out the material bamboo tube, peel the bamboo skin, and use the knife lightly, and compare it with the scraping depth of the mold at all times.

The second step is to determine the hole distance.Put the material bamboo tube back, or use a wooden ruler to compare, and draw equivalent circles at the eight positions that need to be punched.

The third step is to drill holes.The bamboo tube is easy to roll, so it is definitely not enough to fix it with hemp rope.The real function of manipulating the wooden board should be revealed. She used a wooden hammer and a file to dig out a vertical, semi-arc groove on the wooden board, the depth of which should be able to fit more than half of the bamboo tube.After digging, stick the bamboo pipe inside, press it tightly with one hand, and drill with the other hand.After each blow hole is drilled, the nail tip has to be sharpened on a whetstone.

After the eight holes are drilled, the bamboo dust is blown off, and the shape is imitated.

The "Flute" mark on the inner wall of the mold was not colored, so it was easy to ignore. She randomly took out one of the nine bamboo tubes, took out a thin bamboo strip, dipped it in soil, and stuck it in to wipe on the mark, making it clear.

Then remove the short nails, cut the thin bamboo strips that are wiped with soil, split the head into forks, wedge the nails upright with the tip of the nails facing upwards, and wedge them into the forks to make them vertical, and then reinforce them with hemp rope.

First probe into the mold tube, and then probe into the imitation bamboo flute tube to measure the exact position and size of the mark.The rest is real work!

During Wang Ge's flute making, the sound of the famous drum's hammer set off waves after waves. Two candidates were dragged away by You Yan not far in front of her, and one of them, who didn't know what to think, suddenly struggled to break free and came to her side. He ran, but fortunately he was kicked up and kicked by You Yao, and dragged away.

It's terrible, why are you running towards her?Fortunately, her hands did not slip!
She took a long breath and warned herself: Don't be disturbed by external forces, don't be anxious just because you choose a time-consuming mold, and be mentally prepared, there will be no more simple molds in the future!

Soon, she rejected the interference of the sound of the drums and the shouts of the drummers.

When the two examiners inspected this area, they stopped behind Wang Ge for a while and talked softly: "So far, I have chosen this model, hehe, not one has passed."

"Because anyone who can pass has suffered a loss before, how can he suffer a second time?"

"Yeah, although the mark inside the flute mold is small, but it is flat and vertical, and it will fail if it is slightly tilted, and the bamboo tube cannot be replaced. If you want to describe the standard, hehe, at least half of... eh? This candidate..."

The other person followed and looked back, also surprised: "This is how..." How is it possible?The two of them took more than ten steps, why is this little girl packing tools?
"give up?"

"It's not like it." If you give up, why run so fast to the craftsman?
