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

Chapter 92 Rollover
After breakfast, Wang Ge left the north gate of the jingshe along the way he walked yesterday, and went to see the carpenter's shop.At the end of the craftsman test, Nanshan Guanshu once set up a temporary carpentry shop outside the test room, and they urgently hired craftsmen who made arrow shafts.

I don't know if they are still employed now?

After going to the edge of the stone pool to watch the waterfall, she followed Huzi's instructions and continued walking eastward, and soon she saw figures walking through the bamboo forest.After felling the bamboo, they cut off several pieces of bamboo stalks and carried them. Some even wrapped the bamboo stalks with cloth and carried them on their shoulders.

Wang Ge caught up with a lady craftsman, and didn't ask rashly, but smiled and followed beside her.

Seeing Wang Ge's down-to-earth appearance, the craftsman's wife took the initiative to ask, "Why are you not working in the jingshe, why are you running away to the craftsman's shop?"

It's all the fault of her age, she is clearly treated as a child laborer again.

"I'm a schoolboy and a carpenter, looking for some work."

"That's good. The craftsman's shop is in urgent need of craftsmen. Come with me."

The carpenter's shop at the foot of Feiliu Peak, like the Vihara, is also surrounded by walls.After entering, there are small separated courtyards, and the carpenters in the courtyards do different jobs.Different types of wood and bamboo are placed in the open space of each courtyard. It can be seen that many of the trees and bamboo forests in the mountains are artificially cultivated.

The craftsman's wife took Wang Ge to find the head of the craftsman's shop.

In this era, no one dares to lie about things that can be queried such as craftsmanship and level.Once the lies are exposed, not only will they face contempt from others, but they will also be sued by the government.When the person in charge heard that Wang Ge was still an official schoolboy, he really regretted asking why he was so careful?No choice but to grit your teeth and hire first-class craftsmen.

The work assigned by the craftsman to Wang Ge was to make "arrow poles" from "arrow bamboo".Don't think that the length of the arrow shaft is accurate to the required length of two feet. The key point is to straighten the shaft while scraping and polishing the arrow body smooth.

Each arrow bamboo material has been roasted, and the bamboo body is also distorted due to thermal expansion during the process of thoroughly drying the water.There are special tools for correcting the straightness of the pole. The fixed groove is on her right hand side, and the moving groove is on the left hand side. The slot hole after the two grooves are tightly fitted is the thinnest standard of the arrow shaft.

After the two slots are fully fastened, the arrow shaft can still move easily through the slots, which proves that the arrow body has been scraped too much and turned into scrap.

Every time after straightening the arrow shaft, it is necessary to pass the scraper.The first time the scraper is used, only the green skin of the bamboo material is scraped off, and the second straightening is carried out after scraping off;

Money was hard to earn, and by noon, Wang Ge had only made five arrow shafts, and he didn't even have time to drink water.There is no money for lunch in the craftsman's shop. There is a wheat cake, a bowl of warm water, and a handful of salted beans. All the craftsmen eat it in a hurry and then go to work.

Wang Ge's meal was enough to gobble it up, and she was still the slowest eater in the courtyard, so she simply stuffed the last two bites into her mouth.There was bran in the cake, which made her cheeks hurt.

As soon as she picked up the materials, a sub-principal from another courtyard came and shouted, "Who can make the ruler faster? Only one person is needed."

"Me!" Wang Ge stood up, spraying cake foam and shouted.

"Can a square be made in half an hour?"

"Yes. Guaranteed that the points and inches are not bad."

"Remember your promise!"

"Yes." Wang Ge was very happy.

The courtyard where the ruler was made is filled with wood dust, and the unique smell of wood is very strong.Wang Ge took out a towel and tied it to his face, and began to saw wood.Tuomu is very hard. First saw the rough outline of the moment, and then use a carving knife to lightly mark the line and chisel off the excess material.

The sub-principal of this courtyard was not at ease, he kept standing by and watched, and asked, "How many rulers have you made before?"

"a hundred."

The man suddenly felt a toothache. "Only one hundred?"

"The county magistrate only needs one hundred, I dare not make more."

toothache! "Master, county magistrate? Want you to make a square?"

"Ang. Before making it, I made a special agreement to pay me the price of a first-class craftsman."

"Cough... Don't worry, Craftsman Wang, as long as you make the utensils up to standard, we will definitely pay for them."

Wang Ge said without delaying his work, he fixed the outline of the square ruler, and began to mark the line segments with a carving knife.

The sub-principal went back and forth several times, couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "We are all marking lines according to the mold. Carpenter Wang..." Why don't you even understand this, and don't care if I want it?

"I don't use that. In the ruler, I'm the mold."

An old craftsman couldn't hear this kind of bragging at all, so he turned his back and said a lesson: "You girl, even if you are a first-class craftsman,... If you don't even dare to say this, then what's the point of being a first-class craftsman?" Useful? It’s awesome to be born later! Hmm!” He has been working as a carpenter for decades, and once he glanced at the lines engraved by Wang Ge, he knew how powerful it was, so he turned around and went back to his own work.

Wang Ge bent his eyes and smiled, concentrating on engraving.

When it was getting dark, Jiang Si gave her 220 money.Wang Ge walked back happily, not wanting to meet Huzi by the pool.

He was shaking the dead branches by the side of the road.

"Tiger? It's so cold, why are you here?"

"I went to look for you, but you haven't been here. I guess you should come to the carpenter's shop."

Wang Ge saw that the other party stretched out his small hand and pointed at her body. Only then did she notice that there were a lot of sawdust on her clothes, and immediately went to the side of the road to beat them off.

"Girl, there's a waterwheel over there. Have you seen it?"

"No. In fact, our village also has waterwheels, but they are built next to other people's land, and there is no chance to get close."

"Everyone on the estate is close. Would you like to see it?"

"Let's go." Wang Ge naturally held the little guy's cold hand, she had just finished her busy work, and her palm was extremely warm.

Huzi was stunned for a moment, and said joyfully, "Let's go."

The waterwheel in the Jin Dynasty was also the overturning system improved by Ma Jun in the Cao Wei period. It was driven by manpower, driven by large and small gears and scraper chains, and could lift water from a low place to a high place.It can be turned forward and reversed, and can be used for drawing water and draining water.

The several waterwheels on the west side of the Feiliufeng water pool are not used for irrigation, but reverse the scraper chain to discharge the water in the pool, and use the water discharged vertically as the power to drive the hammer to beat the rotted moso bamboo After beating into crushed velvet, it is immediately placed in the large stone trough next to it, and the bamboo wadding is mixed with water to form a slurry.The next step is to use bamboo curtains to make paper, press paper, separate, and dry, but the paper produced by this method is very rough and cannot be used for writing.

Wang Ge and Hu Zi, one tall and one short, stood in front of several waterwheels working rumblingly, each shocked.Although it doesn't smell good here.

Huzi looked yearning, and said: "Girl, do you know? Ever since I was sensible, my biggest wish is that one day, the world's scholars can write with paper as much as possible. When traveling, there is no need to carry heavy bamboo slips ; When recording, there is no need to subtract words and sentences one by one, and all the principles we know can be written on paper and passed on to the people who want to read and read."

Water might have splashed into Wang Ge's eyes, so he wiped it off and choked up a little, and said, "Huzi, your wish will definitely come true! If it's hard to come true, I'll help you make it come true. If I can't help you enough, there are thousands of people in the world." Thousands of craftsmen will help you! Therefore, it will definitely be realized! Let’s go, let’s go to the craftsman’s shop to get some bamboo materials. Made out of bamboo!"

"really?"

"Ok!"

The two ran hand in hand, laughing all the way.

Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the craftsman's shop, I had to spend five yuan to get the bamboo materials. Fortunately, the tools were included.It is required that the tools and the back basket must be returned within five days, and compensation will be required if there is any damage.

Seeing Huzi's longing eyes, Wang Ge paid five dollars in distress.

It was already dark, and the two of them walked in a hurry. As soon as they entered the north gate of the jingshe, they heard someone in the bushes on the side saying: "It's the official schoolboy named Wang Ge, don't mention it, it's disgusting!"
