Datang all-rounder

Chapter 5

After opening his eyes and stretching, Wang Ke habitually stretched out his hand toward the head of the bed, intending to smoke a cigarette, but the place where his hand reached was average height.It was only after I collected myself that I realized that I was in the Tang Dynasty, and I slept on the floor on the floor.Wang Ke sighed and sat up, shook her head, put on her clothes and walked out of her room.

Wang Ke lazily came to the car that had been moved to the corner last night, took out the washing utensils from the car, and just turned around to see Uncle Zhang and several people standing in front of her.

Uncle Zhang stepped forward and said to Wang Ke: "Young master, these are some carpenters in the village. Today they were asked to make some things that the young master drew yesterday. They have something they don't understand and want to ask the young master for advice."

Wang Ke looked at them and said: "You go and prepare the materials first, I will come right away, you wait for a while." Several people agreed and went to prepare by themselves.

Wang Ke turned back to the backyard, and there were already servants waiting for him with fresh water. After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Wang Ke asked a girl next to him who was sent by his mother last night: "Dongyue, my father and Where's my mother? Why didn't I see them?"

Seeing the young master's question, Dongyue quickly replied respectfully: "The master has gone to court, and the madam has returned to the city to pack up some things and return at noon. The master ordered to stay in the manor for a few days and not return to the mansion for the time being." Go here. The young master will rest at the farm for a few days when he comes back."

Dongyue paused for a while and then said: "Master, I have prepared it for you earlier. After the master washes up, go and use it first."

Wang Ke hadn't had the habit of eating breakfast for several years, and she promised that she didn't care about it. She was worried about making tables and chairs, and rushed to the front yard.

As soon as he arrived in the front yard, Uncle Zhang brought a carpenter to him.

Uncle Zhang pointed to this person and said to Wang Ke: "Young master, this is the master carpenter in the village, surnamed Yang, he has something he doesn't understand and I would like to ask the young master for advice."

Hearing Uncle Zhang's introduction, Wang Ke hurriedly cupped his hands to Carpenter Yang and said politely: "Master Yang, hello! I need to trouble you about this matter. If there is something unclear, let's discuss and exchange ideas."

Wang Ke's tone is very common in modern times, but it was different in Tang Dynasty.He was a master there, such an attitude really shocked these people, Carpenter Yang hurriedly folded his hands and bowed respectfully and said: "Young master can kill the young one, if you have anything to do, you can just order the young master. After finishing speaking, he raised his head and looked at Wang Ke cautiously, then quickly lowered his eyes and said hesitantly: "It's just that some young masters don't understand the drawing drawn by the young master. I hope the young master can give you some advice."

Wang Ke brought the blueprints over, casually made them on the stone steps, looked at the blueprints carefully, and felt that both the drawings and the markings were very clear, and there was nothing missing. She looked at the carpenter very puzzled. Asked: "There is nothing wrong, what do you not understand? Let me listen to it."

Carpenter Yang moved forward, bent his waist, pointed at the drawing and said, "Look, young master, there are several figures on this drawing of yours, I don't know what's going on; and I don't know what's going on next to this figure." I know what it's written in, but I don't understand it."

After listening to these words, Wang Ke realized that she wished she could give her two mouths.Now he is in the Tang Dynasty. In this era, there are no such detailed drawings and drawings, let alone what Arabic numerals are.When I draw by myself, it is completely out of habit, and all the modern elements are used. No wonder these people have no way to start with the drawings.

After knowing the reason, Wang Ke smiled apologetically and said to Carpenter Yang, "It's not your fault, it's my fault. I used the drawing method from the Far West Kingdom, and I'm used to it. Now I'll tell you it's What's going on, this method is much clearer than our middle-earth drawing method, and the things produced are much more precise." After speaking, he explained each picture one by one, and the annotations were also explained clearly one by one.

After hearing this, Carpenter Yang thought for a while and said in embarrassment: "Master, I know what's going on with this picture, but I can't help you with this size. We don't have that kind of measuring tool for your size. How do you do it?"

Wang Ke smiled confidently and said, "I've already thought of this. I'll give you this measuring tool, but you must take care of it when you use it. I don't have many. If it's broken, there's no place to buy it." Next to the car, he took out a tape measure from the car and handed it to Carpenter Yang.

Measuring tapes are too common for Wang Ke. He often buys one and puts it away after use, and buys it when he can’t find it when he needs it. Therefore, he has several in his car.

But now he also knows that there is no place to buy it here, and it will be gone when it is used up, so he specially reminded it.Now Wang Ke took out one casually, he didn't feel anything, but it became a treasure in the eyes of Carpenter Yang.

Think about it, let alone in the Tang Dynasty, even now, many places are still accustomed to using market rulers and market inches as measuring tools, and you can’t feel it in places where the size requirements are not high, but you can do carpentry. The size requirements are quite high, not to mention the market size, even the market size will appear inaccurate.

Now the markings on the blueprints given by Wang Ke are all accurate to millimeters, how can it be done with the measurement units of the Tang Dynasty.After Wang Ke explained how to use the tape measure to Carpenter Yang, Carpenter Yang admired Wang Ke so much that he had never seen such an excellent measuring tool, and he kept thanking Wang Ke. His face was already in a mess with excitement.

Wang Ke waved his hands proudly and said, "Go ahead and do it. I'll see your craftsmanship when you make it. If you don't understand anything, just ask me. I'm still waiting to sit down." Carpenter Yang bent over to thank you Then he turned and left.

Sitting on the stone steps, Wang Ke watched the carpenters busy there. He took out a cigarette and lit it. After taking a few puffs, he remembered that his things were still in the car, so he called Uncle Zhang and asked him to arrange a few lunches. People come to bring things to the house for themselves.

Wang Ke followed behind and thought in his heart: "It's better here. I can ask people to do anything. If I had to run several times by myself before, I would be exhausted. Now I, a lazy person, have found an organization." ,hey-hey."

After a while, Wang Ke saw that the craftsmanship of these carpenters was undeniable, and Carpenter Yang's arrangements were also orderly. Everyone did everything in a stable manner, which was a bit like a modern assembly line operation.Wang Ke remembered the scene of sleeping on the ground last night, and felt that he was still not used to it, so he drew another bed drawing and handed it to Carpenter Yang for them to make it together.

It was noon in a blink of an eye, and Wang Ke raised his hand to look at his watch. It was already past eleven o'clock, a chair had already been formed, and the table was being assembled.So I went forward, checked the finished chair carefully, and secretly sighed in my heart that it was much better than those modern woodworkers with such and such power tools.

When I was watching with enthusiasm, a voice came from behind: "Ke'er, what are you looking at, so serious?"

Wang Ke turned around, only to find that Mrs. Wang was standing behind her, and hurriedly said: "Mother is back, the child is looking at this chair, mother, let's try it."

Mrs. Wang stepped forward curiously and sat down.The chair Wang Ke painted is an armchair, which has armrests on the left and right sides besides the backrest. Mrs. Wang sat on it, leaning on the back of the chair, with her hands on the armrests, and she kept praising: "That's good." Ah, Ke'er, let's do it, or make it for the whole house."

Seeing Mrs. Wang's happy look, Wang Ke smiled and said with a sense of accomplishment: "This can only be regarded as a semi-finished product, and it needs to be painted several times. After Master Yang and the others have finished it, let them finish it." Make a few more sets, and put us in both the village and the mansion. This is much more convenient than before."

The mother and son were talking happily when Uncle Zhang came up and said that dinner was ready.Wang Ke frowned when he heard this.

Wang Ke was from Chongqing in his previous life. When he arrived in the Guanzhong area, he was not used to the food here. In addition, many seasonings were not available in the Tang Dynasty, so he was not in the mood to eat at all.

But he also knew that this thing cannot be changed overnight, so he had no choice but to think in his heart: "People are iron, food is steel, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry. Eat! Even Yone Tiangong will swallow it." He walked over with a generous look.
