Whether there are big names or not has nothing to do with Xu Wen, the arrival of examiners such as Zhu Gantang means that they will judge the results of this round of exams.

The first two rounds of the exam were all about grading the works, which was quite subjective.

And in this round, there is only one scoring criterion, and that is the time when the barrel is waterproof!

This standard is so intuitive that it is not practical, and you can see at a glance whether there is a water leak or not.

No one had kicked them out after the exam, and they were obviously allowed to sit on the sidelines. Of course, the candidates will not take the initiative to leave, and they all want to see the results here.

Zhu Gantang stood on the wall and didn't say much, just nodded down.

"Let's take a look at the results of the carpentry class first. On the clock. ”

Two big men carrying a huge Western bell stepped forward and placed it in front of the barrel.

"Timing. ”

A few of the servants had an account book in one hand and were ready.

"Pour water. ”

With a bang, the water in the vat was poured into each wooden barrel by the sergeant one by one.

Xu asked around, and the candidates were in a commotion, and they rushed forward, wanting to see more clearly. After being stopped and not allowed to go any further, they craned their necks again, looking like a flock of geese ready to enter the water.

Xu Wen was also very concerned about the situation over there, he looked left and right, the crowd was crowded, and there was no gap at all.

"Here, here. ”

There are many people and great power, and there are really a lot of people from Yao's Mufang this time, so they directly occupied a place, beckoned Xu Wen, and left him the best position.

"Wood is made of Bingchou No. 10, zero points!"

"Kisaku Otoko No. 7, zero points!"

In just a few moments, the sound of registration came from the direction of the barrel.

"So fast!"

There was another commotion in the crowd, some people exhaled softly, while others blushed and pursed their lips.

Xu Wen didn't think much about it, so he stood next to Qi Kun and looked over there.

Sure enough, part of the results are already out.

The quality of the barrel is not up to par, and the filling test can be seen at a glance.

There are some candidates who have never learned Yuanzuo at all, and they barely make a bucket, which may look like a bucket, but they can't hold water at all.

The tank was very large, and the sergeant did not spare any strength when he poured water into it, and the water poured into it with a bang, and some of it immediately leaked out along the walls of the barrel. In the end, the water was filled, and there was not even a single surface of water left in the bucket.

Obviously, there was no way to score points, so the officials stepped forward and checked the number plates on the edge of the barrels, and directly awarded them a zero score.

Buckets of clean water poured in, and the water flowed out in a hurry.

After one round of pouring, at least one-third of the buckets were sentenced to zero points and eliminated directly!

"I haven't studied enakura. A candidate's voice sounded not far from Xu Wen, with an obvious crying tone, obviously one of the members who was given a zero score.

The others next to him were silent and did not speak.

"Go back and practice well and come back next year. After a while, someone comforted him.

"My master is a furniture maker, who can teach me......" The candidate's crying was even more obvious, and he was extremely aggrieved.

He stood alone, apparently also an apprentice of a fifth-level woodmill.

Xu Wen glanced over there and suddenly realized this.

He had heard Lu Cheng say before that what kind of impact the results of the apprenticeship test had on each workshop. But at that time, Lu Cheng emphasized his own future, he studied under Lian Tianqing, and did not regard himself as a member of Yao's Mufang, nor did he think much about it.

Looking back now, there are so many people who take the apprenticeship exam, so few people pass the test, and it has such a serious impact on the future of each workshop, this is simply not a way for the fifth-level workshop to live!

Which workshop can guarantee that it can produce a talent every year, pass three levels in three years and pass the apprenticeship test to enter the 100 trade unions?

Or is this itself a guide to the merger of small workshops and to expand their own scale?

And then, can small workshops that don't want to merge continue to exist?

Is it just that you can't continue to take the apprenticeship test, or do you have to disband?

And the smaller workshops, the family-run kind?

What are they like now, and what will happen in the future?

Xu Wen found that he knew too little about the world......

Maybe it was because he had been too interested in it before.

The minimum time limit for storing water in wooden barrels is a quarter of an hour, and all leaks during this time period are zero.

In this quarter of an hour, at least half of the barrels were eliminated.

There are still about one hundred and fifty or sixty barrels left.

Some of the candidates quit directly when they saw the results, but most of them still stayed, ready to stay back to see what other people's works were like.

"What's going on?" one person suddenly raised his voice, attracting the attention of those around him.

The voice was a little familiar, and Xu Wen also looked at it.

It's the person from Kiba in the eastern capital, he has heard others call him by his name, his name is Zhong Wuxi, the name is very interesting, and there is only one word different from the famous ugly girl in history.

As a result, this Zhong ugly man was also looking at him, still a little like looking at people in his nostrils, but he was obviously much more cautious than before.

"You keep your voice down...... What's wrong?" he asked, reminding one of his companions.

"The bare barrel...... It's still there. Zhong Wuxian lowered his voice, but the surroundings were too quiet, and the carpentry candidates could still hear it clearly.

The bucket without hoops is, of course, the one Xu Wen made. He was the first to hand it over, and it was placed behind all the barrels, and only now that the barrels were less than a single corner was revealed.

This barrel has no barrel hoop, and the wooden strips of the barrel wall are very tightly connected, so that no gaps can be seen at all, and it looks like it is carved from warm jade in the sun, and there is a flawless beauty.

It is precisely because of this flawlessness that the traces of the barrel walls can be seen more clearly - there are no water stains, not at all.

It looks this way, this barrel through the first quarter of an hour is by no means a problem.

"Tsk. Zhong Wuxi was a little unhappy, glanced at Xu Wen, and muttered, "How about looking good, who knows if it's a good look." ”

"That's ......" His companion was about to speak, when Xu Wen suddenly turned to look at them and asked with a smile, "Do you want to make a bet?"

"Fight, what bet?" Zhong Wuxi was very uncomfortable with this kind of frontal cowardice, and suddenly felt a little guilty.

"There are twenty-one of us in the Yao family's wooden workshop, and forty of you in the Dongdu wooden workshop. In terms of numbers, you have the upper hand. We'll give you the advantage. If the total score of twenty-one of us is better than that of forty of you, we win, otherwise we lose. How, bet or not?"

Xu Wen looked directly at Zhong Wuxi, his eyes were clear, and he even had a little smile on his face, not as if he was rejecting people. But Zhong Wuxi vaguely felt a sense of threat from such a smile, which was not too strong, but he couldn't help but shrink a little.

In fact, Xu Wending's bet was very beneficial to Zhong Wuxian and them.

They are a third-class carpenter, and a total of 40 people have taken the apprenticeship test. The scale of the third-level wooden workshop is larger than that of the fifth-level, and the quality of the disciples it receives is also higher. Forty people against twenty-one people, three-level woodhouse against five-level wood, it is still the total score, how to look at how to have an advantage, Zhong Wuxian should agree without hesitation.

But now that he was facing Xu Wen's eyes, his throat seemed to be choked, and he couldn't say a word.

After a while, he laughed dryly and said, "Bet, bet." This is in the examination room, not in the gambling house! Don't talk about this kind of thing on such a serious occasion, be careful that Brother Bing will arrest you all!"

He snorted again and slowly paced into the crowd, moving himself away from Xu Wen.

Zhong Wuxi's companions didn't feel like him, and they were all strange in their hearts.

It's not like this kid's style!

"Why don't you gamble, win the game!" a senior brother grabbed Zhong Wuxian and asked.

"What is there to gamble on, a bunch of country mud legs, is there anything that can be used to gamble with us? When the adults hear it, they may think that we are bullying people, and we have added a bad reputation. Zhong Wuxian has a heartbeat.

His companion thought for a moment and said, "It makes sense, or you think about it carefully." ”

"Of course. Zhong Wuxi's face was triumphant, but he wiped a cold sweat behind his back.

A quarter of an hour later, the second batch entered.

Ten points were awarded for the first batch of barrels, and another ten points were added for a quarter of an hour through the second batch.

By this time, all the barrels that had leaked too badly had been eliminated, and those that had been left to this time were relatively well-done.

The sergeants stepped forward and moved the barrels to a drier place.

Candidates now know that as long as the water seeping out of the walls of the bucket leaves a wet stain on the ground, it will be eliminated immediately.

It was a lengthy process, with five sergeants patrolling and watching from time to time to remove the substandard barrels. The three examiners left for a while to check the results of the other categories.

The carpentry class was silent for a while, and the candidates stared at it with bated breath, and any slight expansion of the wet stain would make them let out a soft exclamation or sigh.

Nearly half of this batch was eliminated, and there were still about ninety barrels left on the field.

The number is relatively small, and it is easier to see which ones are left.

Zhong Wuxian stared at that side, counting silently, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!
