"There's no way to go up and recognize it, pretend to be serious, be humble, and you'll be fine. ”

Xu Wen walked forward, and the senior brother next to him whispered to him.

It's basically comfort.

In the past five days, Xu Wen presided over the tidying up of the warehouse and taught them to learn to read and write, most of the time only Lian Linlin was chattering with him, and even the master almost never opened his mouth.

The old Muba brothers have always only played with Lian Linlin's behavior as a little girl, and they hardly listen to her seriously.

In their opinion, in five days, they don't expect Xu Wen to learn anything, just get by in posture.

Xu Wen walked to the front of the team and suddenly heard Master Lian's voice.

"Come on. ”

Xu Wen turned his head in astonishment and met Master Shanglian's eyes.

Master Lian's eyes were deep and he nodded to him. Xu Wen suddenly realized what he meant, and nodded very seriously.

Xu Wen walked to the front, drew the wooden order, and reported the number engraved on it.

In a few moments, a long square wrapped in yellow cloth was delivered to him.

Xu Wen took it, looked down, and found that there was an "old" word embroidered in the corner of the yellow cloth, and it seemed that the test materials of each wood yard were specific.

He didn't have the ability to connect with his master, so he opened the yellow cloth layer by layer.

The yellow cloth is wrapped in a square piece of wood, very old, with reddish-brown paint mottled on it, and the wood itself is probably also reddish-brown, mixed with the lacquer, and it is difficult to distinguish it.

This is the main reason why the old Kiba score is at the bottom.

Other wood yards identify logs, there is no impurity interference, only need to distinguish the characteristics of the wood itself. But old wood is different.

To distinguish its true form from the heavy camouflage, even an experienced master must have a strong sense of observation.

Xu Wen was not impatient, he first weighed the weight of the wood and estimated its density through its volume. He then looked at the dividing line between lacquer and wood to determine what it really was. Then he made a mark on the surface of the old wood with his fingernails and sniffed it.

He does it slowly, a little longer than everyone else.

It may be that Xu Wen has dragged on for too long, and the young man beside Master Yang, who is in charge of comparing the account books, frowned, stepped forward and urged: "You hurry-"

Before the words fell, he was stopped by Master Yang.

"Don't worry, wait for him to come. ”

"A young boy, why waste time for him?" the young man's brow furrowed even tighter.

"I don't think it's necessarily a waste of time. Master Yang looked at Xu Wen and shook his head.

After a while, Xu Wen finally raised his head and said clearly: "This is a piece of walnut wood from Shanxi." ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, and quickly picked up the account book and compared the numbers.

After a moment, he was stunned and said, "Yes...... It's walnut, yes!"

The answer was correct, Xu Wen was not particularly surprised, he nodded, put the wooden block back in its place, saluted again, and turned to walk back.

After only two steps, he was stopped: "Xu asked." ”

Xu Wen stopped and turned his head to look at Master Yao above the stone platform.

Master Yao gently stroked his beard and said, "How did you recognize it as walnut wood, let's hear it." ”

This session only requires the identification of the wood, and does not need to explain the identification process. Many people, especially newcomers like Xu Wen, who have only studied for a few days, are likely to be confused and blind, and the result is accidentally correct. Master Yao's request is really a bit presumptuous.

But Xu Wen paused, and still talked eloquently.

"I'm judging it from these aspects......"

On the other hand, Lu Cheng looked at him with some shock.

Xu Wen is usually a little silent and looks a little wooden, and it is also because of this that Master Yao didn't like him very much at first, and Senior Brother Zhou also arranged the most tiring and boring work for him.

Lu Cheng has been delicate since elementary school, and deliberately befriended Xu Wen, but for several days, Xu Wen was like a lump of wood, and there was no reaction at all.

In the past two days, he no longer paid attention to Xu Qian, on the one hand, because he saw that Lian Linlin did feel a little angry, and on the other hand, because he heard about some things, he felt that this person had no use value and did not need to be dated anymore.

But now, Xu Wen's behavior is completely different from the one he knew.

He spoke clearly, and his thinking was even more organized, which was completely different from the appearance of Liu Ada, who couldn't even speak.

"First of all, the color. The wood looks reddish-brown and bears some resemblance to beech cores and aged yellow pear. But on closer inspection, the red part is more like lacquer dipping, and the color near the interior is close to light brown, which should be the original wood color. ”

"Then there's the weight. Walnut is somewhere between softwood and hardwood and is easier to shape. Rosewood, which is similar in color and texture, is a hardwood with a more solid texture. ”

"Next is the smell ......"

Xu Wen said it one after another, and Lu Cheng was dumbfounded.

After a pillar of incense, he finally finished talking about his identification basis, and after saluting Master Yao again, he retreated to the team.

Master Yao touched his beard, unable to see what he was thinking, but nodded at Master Yang and said, "Go on." ”

He obviously didn't say it, but for some reason, Lu Cheng's heart suddenly sank.

Monthly assessments continue.

Xu Wen was the last person in the first round of wood identification, and after he completed it, the evaluation entered the second round - talking wood.

Xu Wen added three points to the old woodyard, but they were still in last place among the five woodyards, which shows how difficult they are facing.

Xu Wen returned to the middle of the team, and the expressions of the senior brothers were all surprised.

"Didn't you see it, did you already understand?" Xu San looked him up and down.

"This is all taught to me by my little sister. Xu Wen said seriously

"She?ha...... Is it true?" Xu San laughed twice, and his eyes suddenly widened.

Xu Wen nodded seriously, Xu San glanced at each other with his brothers, his expression was strange, and he didn't speak again.

The second round was held in the same order as the first round, with the masters of each Kiba appearing first, and then the apprentices.

The masters came to the front of the queue, and they were about to choose a random piece of wood and explain its properties and functions.

At this time, almost all the apprentices drew their attention at the same time, listening intently to what the masters had to say.

Obviously, for them, this is not only an assessment, but also an extremely rare learning opportunity.

Lu Cheng also knew this very well, and he also wanted to seize such a rare opportunity, but for some reason, he was always a little distracted, and he couldn't help but think about what happened just now.

Is Xu Wen's talent so high?

How much can he learn in just five days?

Or is he, like him, who has actually learned some things before, and actually has a foundation?

Lu Cheng's heart was a little confused, and he didn't listen to Master Hong's discussion in front of him for a while.

A moment later, a very slight voice from nearby suddenly reached his ears, attracting his attention.

"Am I stupid? Why do I think Master Hong ......?"

This is a beginner apprentice in Redwood, whispering to his companions. He stopped in the middle of his words, obviously not feeling appropriate.

As a result, his companion apparently had the same thoughts as him, and he quickly followed the second half of the sentence.

"I also think that Master Hong is not as good as that kid from the old Kiba. ”

How can it be?

Lu Cheng's first thought was this.

This is a master, even if Xu Wen has learned it before, he is just an apprentice who has not yet started, how can he be better than the master?

He secretly glared at the two of them and began to listen intently to Master Hong's words.

As a result, after listening to a few words, he had to admit that the two senior brothers were right.

Master Hong may know more than Xu Qian, but he is indeed not as good as him.

Master Hong is talking about wenge wood, which is a very precious and distinctive piece of wood, and there is a lot to talk about.

Master Hong spoke very comprehensively, but the problem is that it is too comprehensive. He talked about its shape, talked about its use, and used it as an example, which he used to make with it.

In comparison, Xu Wen just spoke in an orderly and clear manner. Walnut wood is a kind of wood that is specialized in Shanxi, and many carpenters here have not seen it, but after listening to what he said, Lu Cheng also felt that he would be able to recognize it in the future.

Sure enough, after Master Hong finished speaking, Master Yao and others above gave him a four, and a complete orthography was missing.

There is no problem with his explanation of wood, which is clearly deducted from the way it is expressed.

After Master Hong, there is Master Tian of Kashiwagen.

His situation was even worse than Master Hong's, and Lu Cheng couldn't help frowning when he heard it.

Master Tian was born with a mouth problem, a little stammering, and his speech was not very fluent. In the first round, he only said three words, which was simply forceful, and he didn't feel it yet. But now the tirade is obvious.

There is no way to stutter by nature, the key is that the content he talks about is not much better than that of Master Hong, and it seems messy when he thinks of where to speak.

In the past, these questions may not be too conspicuous, but today, with Xu Wen Zhuyu in front, the masters will inevitably be compared.

At the end of this round, Master Tian was only beaten by three points.

Fortunately, the next person to play was Master Jin Wouji. He was gentle and articulate.

He obviously learned the lessons of the first two masters, sorted out what he was going to say in advance, and interspersed some interesting stories in the discussion, which made him laugh from time to time.

After speaking, he got the first five points, and Lu Cheng noticed that Master Jin was quietly relieved when he saw the new complete orthography on the wooden board.

Obviously, Xu Wen also caused some pressure on him......

After the four master masters of Kiba finished speaking, Master Lian appeared.
