In the morning, they made the prototype of this stepping bed and set up the basic framework. In the afternoon, they will further refine it into a real finished product.

Lu Qingyuan designed a begonia stepping bed, the eaves of the bed are embossed with begonia branches and leaves, and the low enclosures on three sides and the two door enclosures in front of them are all open-carved begonia flowers, which are complex and gorgeous.

He did not draw the engraving entirely on the drawings, and as a rule, this part of the work was mainly done by himself.

At noon, they took a break casually, and the candidates ate some dry food casually, and Lu Qingyuan had a few side dishes in front of him, a small bucket of fragrant white rice, which was the lunch specially provided by the examiner for these masters.

This is a rare delicacy for the candidates present, but at this time, no one paid attention to this. All the examinees gathered around the bed, their mouths wide open, as if it was hard to imagine that it had been done by their hands.

Lu Qingyuan took the chopsticks and ate slowly, his eyes kept looking over there.

"This bed is too scary, who can afford to sleep. ”

"With so much wood, you can make multiple beds. ”

"yes, hahaha, but it's pretty. ”

"Well, it's beautiful. ”

At first, there were all exclamations among the candidates, but gradually, they fell silent, looking up at the bed, their eyes full of yearning.

"Master, tea. ”

At this time, a candidate came over, carried a teapot, and refilled Lu Qingyuan's empty cup with tea.

There was a white air rising from the surface of the cup, apparently the hot water he had just fetched.

"You're not with them, are you?" asked Lu Qingyuan.

The candidate was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and said, "Well, master, you can see it." ”

He is Dongfang Lei of Luojiafang.

"What's so hard about that. Lu Qingyuan snorted.

He traveled north and south, worked everywhere, and walked more bridges than Dongfang Lei walked. If he couldn't even see that, he wouldn't have to mess around.

"Have you ever seen this kind of bed before?" Lu Qingyuan asked.

"Nope. Dongfang Lei shook his head.

"If you give you a chance to sleep in this bed, would you?"

“...... No. ”

Lu Qingyuan asked like this just because he had a little inexplicable emotion in his heart, and he was not too serious, but he didn't expect to get such an answer, and he suddenly became interested.

"Why?"

"It's too much of a budget. ”

"At a young age, I know how to save. What about the other than this?"

"It's a lot of work. ”

"It's labor-intensive, it's labor-intensive, and it's done in half a day!"

Lu Qingyuan shook his head, feeling that this kid didn't understand anything, and didn't plan to tell him more.

"It's a lot of work. There are more than 20 of us in total, and we have worked hard all morning to achieve this level. This bed is good, I don't want to sleep. Dongfang Lei didn't see what he meant, and continued very straightforwardly.

"What does your bed look like, what does this bed look like, can it be compared?" Lu Qingyuan continued to shake his head. At this time, he also eaten, stood up and put away the dishes and chopsticks, ready to clean up and continue to work.

"I don't have a bed at home. Dongfang Lei said while helping to clean up.

"No bed?" Lu Qingyuan really didn't expect it.

"Poor. There are more than a dozen people in my family, all of whom sleep on the ground. Dongfang Lei said plainly, and he didn't mean to sell miserably.

"Would you rather sleep on the ground than sleep in a bed like this?" Lu Qingyuan hadn't seen such a poor person, but he really didn't understand Dongfang Lei's thoughts.

"The materials used in this bed, so many people, are enough to make five or six beds, right? If you change it to cheap wood, there can be more than a dozen? In this way, one is enough for one person in my family, why do you want to sleep in such a good bed?" Dongfang Lei's idea is very realistic.

"How can this be compared. Lu Qingyuan disagreed.

"Why can't it? Isn't the bed just for people to sleep in? One bed for one person is of course much better than a dozen people squeezing one. Dongfang Lei has his own set of theories.

This kind of bed is not for a dozen people to sleep together......

Lu Qingyuan wanted to refute, but opened his mouth and closed it again.

The Tao is different, and the things on both sides are completely different, and there is no way to communicate.

Lu Qingyuan stopped talking at all, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and returned to the side of the stepping bed to continue working.

He has actually planned this stepping bed for a long time.

He had been pondering this thing for a while before the apprenticeship attempt, and every detail of it had actually been engraved in his mind. It stands to reason that he should be able to do it just by standing here, and quickly turn everything in his mind into reality.

But now, when he stood in front of the wooden bed with the chisel in his hand, he stopped unconsciously.

He suddenly remembered the very, very distant past, and the situation of his family was similar to that of Dongfang Lei's family.

At that time, the cold air penetrated the bone marrow from the ground, which was really difficult.

He hadn't had a day like this in decades, hadn't he?

"Master Lu, ...... this afternoon" Xu Wen's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Your family's life shouldn't be very easy, right?" Lu Qingyuan suddenly turned his head and asked him.

"Uh...... Are you alright?" Xu asked why he suddenly said this, and replied with some hesitation.

"Needless to say, I must have thought about it for a long time to figure out such an efficient method. Lu Qingyuan looked at him with a clear look, and then sighed again, "But carpenters are such a thing...... Hey, let's not talk about that, I know how to do it. ”

Xu Wen was completely confused, and responded in a daze, watching Lu Qingyuan re-grasp the chisel, and shouted: "Follow me, see what I do!"

Lu Qingyuan started construction again, and this time, he took the initiative to change his way of working.

In the afternoon, he followed the way of the morning and turned the overall work into a process.

He took Xu Wen with him and asked him to organize and arrange the work, while he tried his best to transform the next processes into decomposable parts.

Carving can only be done by him?

It doesn't matter, he draws the pattern, simplifying it as much as possible without destroying the overall shape. Then, some of the more mechanical work is handed over to the candidates to do, and they are responsible for the shaping and perfection in the later stage.

He was busier than in the morning, but this time, he had a bit of a sense of turning from active to passive, directing Xu Wen and the other candidates to go around. The speed of the whole work is also faster than in the morning.

The sun is receding, and the time is approaching the end of the round.

At last the sound of the rock sounded, and the two sergeants stepped forward and told the candidates to retreat without saying a word, and then with a "bang", a huge cloth was unfolded and covered the finished product of their day's work.

"The second round of exams is over, and the candidates leave!"

In the loud voice, the candidates breathed a sigh of relief at the same time and lined up to go out. Xu Wen stood in the line and was about to go out.

Xu asked. Lu Qingyuan stood in place, slowly put the tools aside, and suddenly called out his name.

Xu Wen turned his head in astonishment.

"You ......" Lu Qingyuan said a word, but shut up again.

"Master Lu?"

The team began to walk slowly outward, and Xu Wen glanced back and asked him.

"Well, forget it. Wait until you're done with the exam. Lu Qingyuan shook his head and waved his hand.

"Yes. Thank you for your hard work today. Xu Wen saluted him and quickly followed the team.

Lu Qingyuan raised his head and looked at the huge wooden work covered by the cloth, and did not move.
