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

Chapter 59 The "rule" of the perfect circle

Boom!
For the first time, all the candidates in this area heard the reputation of "Wang Ge, the Hometown Master". When she hurried back to the position where she had just chosen the flute model, some candidates looked at her back with envy or jealousy. Unexpectedly, Wang Ge so young.

More candidates didn't care, and quickly returned to focus on their own production.Because it is not the first time for them to participate in the craftsmanship test, they know that those who frequently become famous in the early stage may not be able to make it to the end.Are people like Zheng Que and Wang Ge really solid in basic skills?It is more likely to be lucky and choose an easy-to-make mold.The real contest of the craftsman test has not come yet!Which one is higher and which one is lower has to be revealed from tonight.

The two examiners smiled at each other, and said, "I hope this Wang Jiangtong is not only quick-witted, but also resolute."

"It's hard to say, especially girls, no matter how thin-skinned they are, in the end..." He shook his head helplessly.

The two continued to tour the field, drifting away.

Wang Ge just passed by and saw the utensil bed of the bamboo brush, which was empty, and the two brooms next door were still there.

The bed of flute mold utensils is also empty.

Unfortunately, a candidate entered the utensil shed two feet in front of her. If she followed this person, she would not be able to pick a good model.The examinee walked slowly, she trotted over, brushed shoulders for a few steps, saw his mouth and nose covered with cloth from the corner of her eye, and then smelled the strong stench from his body!
Wang Ge suddenly understood why Liu Xiaolang told him to wear a turban, which can not only cover up ugliness, but also prevent odor.

This examinee blew his pants!So the walking posture is weird, like Zamabu.

After she slowed down, she found that the number of molds in this section of the utensil shed was not bad, but it was also difficult to choose. There were rattan nets, wooden mortise and tenon joints, bamboo arm knuckles... and some unrecognizable odd-shaped utensils that were obviously parts. .

Going forward, there is a utensil bed standing next to a man and a woman, two candidates, both of whom are quite young.

Why are you standing here?

Wang Ge looked at the utensil bed, and there was only one mold, and the materials were placed on the side of the production area.

The overall shape of the mold is square, the base is made of wood with edges, the inside is made of mud, and the mud surface is flat.The side length of the mold is one chi by visual inspection, and the total thickness is two inches.Three circles are carved on the mud, two large and one small, with very thin lines and a shallow hole in the center, which does not penetrate the wood layer.

There are only two materials in Shau Kei: a section of bamboo tube; mud boards with edging, this is to inform candidates that no secondary cutting is required.

This kind of simple mold is not easy to come across. The reason for the hesitation is that there is a piece missing in the lower right corner of the clay mold, forming a mud pit with uneven outline.If the mud pit is also the standard of the mold, it will be difficult to imitate.

Wang Ge raised his right hand high, and hurriedly looked for examiners or tour guides nearby, she didn't want to miss this model.An examiner just came over and asked, "What's the matter with the examinee?"

"My lord, the candidates would like to ask, is this mold so standard? Or is the mud damaged?" Wang Ge pushed the two candidates away by drawing the examiner closer.

At this time, You Jiao also came over.

The examiner was very clear about the standard of each type of mold, and immediately reprimanded You Yan: "How did you patrol the venue? When was this clay mold damaged? Who damaged it? How important the mold is, haven't I told you? What if After being selected by the examinees, after the hard work, do you have to deliberately knock off a piece of mud? Will you be able to inspect it when you arrive at the craftsman?"

Don't look at You Yan's majesty in front of the examinees, in front of the examiners, his status is almost the same as that of a craftsman, and he dare not refute a sentence when he is trained.

After the examiner got angry, he also knew what a simple mold meant to the examinee, so he said: "This mold is not invalid, it is made of intact mud, and I will explain it to the craftsman."

"Thank you, sir." Wang Ge first put the casket into the Shau Kei on the ground, and lifted the mold with both hands, it was really heavy.

When walking towards the production area, she repeatedly looked back to check her things.As soon as the mold was put down, I hurried back to carry materials and tools.At this time, she could feel that her physical strength had dropped even more, and with the weight of the trunk, she was so tired that she was wheezing.

The examiner reprimanded You Yan again, "do your duty well", and then walked in the direction of Yangshenggu.

The two candidates also went to find other models.

You Yao raised his face and looked at Wang Ge, furiously angry: Will he die if he chooses another model?It can be seen that he didn't end up with this training, at least three months' salary was deducted!Messy little girl, I wish I could hack her to death!

Click!Wang Ge picked up the bamboo knife and split the material bamboo tube in half...

There are only three circles on the clay surface of this mold, and the lines seem to be drawn with needles, which are very thin.Therefore, the basic skill of its assessment is how to make "rules".

The gauge is a perfect circle.The standard is the same as the compasses of later generations.

First cut out the needle points from the bottom ends of the two pieces of green strips, and set one aside.For the one in your hand, cut a long hole in the upper end; for another piece, the upper end is thinned so that it can be drilled through the long hole in the green strip just now.

At this time, the prototype of the compasses has come out.Next is the fixed radius.

Cut a small piece of bamboo and stick it at the intersection of the two bamboo strips. This bamboo piece is equivalent to the "hinge" of the compass.

Compared with the smallest circle of the mold, after the radius is determined, the "hinge bamboo block" will not move.Cut two equal small pieces of bamboo, put them on top of the two strips as a splint, and tie them with hemp rope.

Small circles are made of "gauge".

Before drawing the small circle, first locate the position of the center hole, this is simple, the cross point of the upper, lower, left and right of the mud is the center of the mud.

After drawing the small circle, use a wooden ruler to measure and compare it, and it is equal to the diameter on the mold.

Then untie the hemp rope, make rules in the same way, and draw another two great circles.An extension rod can be added to the gauge, but Wang Ge thinks that is more troublesome, and it is better to make a gauge with a circle.

Just as she was making the last step and drawing the outermost big circle, she suddenly felt movement behind her, and she stopped immediately. Immediately afterwards, the swimmer passed by her side with a tiger-like pace, and a piece of clothing was lifted up with the momentum. The fan fell heavily, hitting her on the right side of the face.

If she hadn't closed her eyes vigilantly, it would definitely hurt her eyeballs.

You Yan continued to move forward, as if he didn't know about it at all.

Empress Wang Ge was terrified, she knew that this person did it on purpose, but she had to endure it, and she must not be disturbed by this villain.She didn't know that she was born with fair skin, and her right cheek was already red.

It was also because of this that even though You Yu hated Wang Ge, he didn't dare to deal with her for a while.

A few breaths are made.

But the mold and tools together are too heavy, and the mud is afraid of being knocked, how can it be transported to the craftsman in one trip?It must not be transported in two parts, and the covetous Youjiao is standing not far away.

Got it!

She first packed up the tools and put the scraps on the ground, the scraps are not afraid of being lost.The casket is placed in the Shau Kei, and the slabs made by myself are placed on top of the casket.Then he picked up the model, like carrying his younger brother at work, turned the clay of the model to the sky, and slowly pushed it onto his bent back.Hold the bottom of the mold firmly with your left hand, hold the Shau Kei with your right hand, and drag it backwards.

You Gong knew that if this damned girl went to the craftsman's place smoothly, no matter whether she passed the inspection or not, he would have no chance of revenge!Anyway, he has already been trained, if he doesn't punish this girl, his depression will only get worse!He gritted his teeth, strode over, pretended to help Wang Ge, but both he and Wang Ge knew exactly what he was going to do!
But Wang Ge couldn't shout and question first!
She knew she couldn't hide, her eyes were reddened, and she dragged herself faster. She had already made a name for herself five times after all her hard work. Could it be that she was going to be destroyed by this gamer?

　Mortise and tenon (sǔn mǎo): The structure of traditional buildings and furniture.The convex is tenon, and the concave is tenon.

　　Arm 鞲 (gōu): wrist guard. "Hanshu Dongfang Shuo Zhuan" records "Dong Jun's green cap and Fu Wei".

　　Gauge: An ancient circle-drawing utensil, equivalent to modern compasses.
