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

Chapter 78 The Little Boy in Xunxi Township

Wang Yun wrote a book at his desk.

The matter of the magnetic needle guide is not urgent. Wang Ge's self-test has been completed. Starting today, the ruler, moment, and gauge will be made in kind.

After fully mastering their line segments and outer contours, rulers and moments can be cut successfully for the first time.Without any tools at hand, she could only use the strip knife and the even knife wrapped around the cloth with a saw.

When drawing line segments, use brother's carving knife.This carving knife was given by Master Zhang. It is specially used to scrape typos on bamboo slips. It is sharp and light, and very easy to use.

It is a little troublesome to make the rules. First, use a carving knife to draw the entire shape on a thin wooden board.The ten wooden rules given by Huan County Magistrate are of the same standard. The two legs are equal in length and the bottom ends are sharp. When using it, it doesn't matter which leg fixes the center of the circle.The connection at the top, the "hinge," is round and protruding on both sides and has to be carved and polished.

Wang Ge thought, if the gauge is made of copper or iron, the hinge position must be adjustable, otherwise it would cost too much material.

The gauge with the largest radius is carefully compared with the model after the actual product is produced, and even the circle at the top is measured with hemp rope, and they all match.During the comparison process, Wang Ge understood what a "gu" is.

A goblet is the interior angle of a regular hexagon.

When Huan Zhen told Wang Yun about counting, he mentioned that "six goblets" are one "handle", which refers to bamboo counting chips, a total of 270 pieces. The standard format of these bamboo counting chips is combined into one " grip"!
At this time, Wang Yun stopped writing and asked, "Sister, what day is it today?"

"The first day of midwinter."

"I want to add the time and time. After the master reads my letter, I can calculate the distance between the carriage and the horse. Midwinter, Shuo Ri."

Scholars speak nicely.While Wang Ge was happy, he realized the importance of knowledge of books and reason more and more.

Pass the Linshui Pavilion on the dirt road towards Jiashe Village.

Liu Bo was wearing a bloated winter clothes, carrying a heavy bamboo basket, which contained cakes that his mother steamed for his uncle, salted bacon, salted beans, meat sauce, and fish sauce.The road was not easy to walk, he tripped, and the leg of his lower garment was scratched, and the reed catkins fell as he walked.There were reeds by the side of the road, so he picked some and stuffed them in. He dropped, stuffed, and recited books all the way, enjoying himself quite a lot. "Ping is in Shuoyi. The days are short, the stars are subdued, and it is midwinter. Juemin, birds, beasts, and snipe..."

Apply in the early afternoon.

At the bend of the Qinghe River at the foot of the wild mountain, a team of five soldiers walked wearily, leading a hound.The name of this dog is Xie, it has a short beak and is good at searching and hunting.They came from Xunxi Township, where the border of the two townships was being repaired. Last night, they escaped a servant and a concubine. With all kinds of traces and hunting dogs leading the way, they chased to Zhuzhi Township.

If Huan Zhen saw the skinny appearance of these villagers, he would definitely be grateful to his uncle for his kindness.Xunqi Township is the poorest township in Tuyi County, and these five people have been on the Jindu construction site for a long time, coming and going in the wind and in the soil, each with unkempt faces like wild monkeys.

At this moment, they were running with the hounds. What they knew was to track down the fugitives, but what they didn't know thought they were going to catch up with the dogs and kill them.

In winter, the tenant girls who wash clothes by the Qinghe River suffer a lot, so there is no laughter in summer.They screamed and panicked when they first saw the hound.Five soldiers grabbed the hounds tightly, and one of them shouted: "We are soldiers from Xunxi Township next door. We are hunting down a male and a female fugitive. If you encounter any suspicious persons, please report them to the nearest kiosk. Don't take strangers in!"

A woman heard that the caller was young, so she laughed and scolded: "You are strangers!"

Hahahaha... the girls are back in the laundry.

The village soldier who had just shouted splashed water on his face, and warned the lady from a distance: "I'm not joking, the fugitive turned out to be a concubine who was building a road in Jiashe Village, and he should have run back."

The lady hurriedly showed the way: "Xiao Lang walked along this road, there is a township camp over there, and the soldiers of Linshui Pavilion are there. The pavilion chief's surname is Ren!"

The village soldier flicked his hair in disorder, and said with a smile, "Thank you, lady."

"Tsk tsk tsk... so handsome." Another woman said.People around her asked again: "Why is there such a young soldier in Xunxi Township? I remember that there was a young man named Huan in Linshuiting, that is..."

The soldier ran a few steps closer and saw that the girls were wary of him again. He stopped and asked, "Sister just said that the soldier's surname is Huan?"

"Bah, who is your sister! Yes, the surname is Huan, the one who pays back the money, you can't forget this surname once you hear it."

The village soldier ran back, tearing up in the wind, muttering in a low voice: "Woo... is that you, brother Huan? Woo... I've suffered a lot..."

At this time, Liu Bo came to the barracks in the village of Xixiang.

Ren Suzhi was so distressed, he unloaded the heavy basket, quickly wrapped his nephew with a mattress, and said angrily, "Your mother is too. It's so cold, how hard is it? Can I still be hungry?"

"When my uncle remarries, my mother can rest assured." Liu Bo's face turned blue from the cold, but luckily he took a ox cart, otherwise he wouldn't be able to arrive after dark.

Ren Suzhi married two wives, one died of illness, and the other died of dystocia. Later, someone proposed marriage to him, but they didn't respond yet.At the mention of this, he gave Liu Bo a nod in the back of his head, the young man's steady demeanor was useless to his uncle.When Huan really recovered, he saw it and had fun, and his sense of confidant increased again.

Liu Bo straightened his bun, and said, "Ah Zhen, my mother has marinated some meat sauce and fish sauce, you can take some, as well as fine flour cakes."

Ren Suzhi glared and shouted, "Isn't it all for me?"

Liu Bo explained with a serious look: "There are three copies in total. In addition to Ah Zhen's, there is also Wang Jianggong's. My mother specifically asked that my uncle is from my own family, and the least is kept."

Careful nephew!Ren Suzhi looked at his thick palm, deeply regretting that the slap was too early.

Huan Zhen thought about it, and suggested: "I owe a lot of love to the Wang family recently, why not go to the Wang family for dinner and leave the rest of the sauce for them, how about it? It just so happens that A Bo hasn't seen Wang Jianggong for a long time. Bar?"

Liu Bo nodded: "Yes. Just right, my mother wants to ask Carpenter Wang for a pair of bamboo hairpins."

The two are about the same age, regardless of brother or brother, they walked out while talking: "What bamboo hairpin?"

"The hairpin of Zhengwan."

"Take it off and let me see."

"Meat sauce..."

"Three bamboo leaves are not very attractive."

Tie Feng brought a large empty basket, dumped sauce bottles and small urns from Liu Xiaolang's basket, and unwrapped the cloth bag that wrapped the steamed cakes, leaving only two cakes.

Every time Tie Feng took one piece away, Ren Suzhi would say "It's done", "It's almost done".

"Haha, goodbye."

Wang Ge has made six standardized regulations.

Stacking the standard feet, looking at the regular hexagon, she guessed whether the area in it would be the standard "hold" in counting chips.

The other nine wooden rules...do you have any explanations?She felt more and more lacking in her own knowledge. Weaving mats, planing wood, chiseling grooves, and carving patterns are just the beginning of a carpenter, just like the ninety-nine tables in arithmetic.She has to learn, brother has to learn, there are many, many more.

Huan Zhen, Liu Bo, and Tie Feng entered the courtyard.

Wang Weng and Wang Yun were the first to greet them.

Wang Ge went to the main house to help his father out.Although my father's eyes are diseased and his activities are difficult, Liu Xiaolang met his father before and brought a lot of food. As the long house, my father must not hide in the room like the second and third uncles.

"Liu Bo has met Grandma Weng and Uncle." He smiled warmly again, and looked at Wang Ge, "I have met Carpenter Wang, Brother Yun."

Wang Yun returned the courtesy respectfully.

Little Jia looked at everything in the courtyard from the crack of the door, his mind was spinning for a few breaths, hating, angry and irritable.

Hate the long room is getting more and more popular!If things go on like this, the second house will not be suppressed by the long house for a lifetime?

Angry at my daughter for not living up to expectations!How good it is to be with Wang Ge at such a time, that little man surnamed Liu is so handsome, even coarse cold clothes can't hide his handsomeness, if Ah Shu is two years older... Sigh.

Anxiety found Wang Erlang!What a good-looking, useless husband, when it comes to critical moments, he is even worse than a blind man!
