"If you don't dare to kill the fish, just say it...... Do what you want to be strong. Lian Linlin helplessly served Qi Xian vegetables.

"It's not a reckless ......" Qi Xian's eyes were red, and she poked the rice in the bowl with chopsticks, "I just think it's just a fish, I can't do it for no reason, and the result is really a little scary......"

"But you should have been scared before you killed, right?" Lian Linlin said.

"But I still want to try. Qi Xian said a little aggrieved.

The dining table in the old wood yard was for more than 20 brothers to eat together, so it was made thick and large. Qi Xian sat at such a table, looking a little immature, far less tough than before.

Qi Kun looked at his sister, a little distressed and a little helpless.

When she was in the Qi family, she didn't even need to cook by herself, when had she ever done such a thing?

But he also knew very well that this was Qi Xian's own choice, and no one forced her.

A senior brother next to him said: "If you don't dare to kill, don't kill it, and you don't have to know anything." ”

"If you don't try it, how do you know if you won't?" Lian Linlin suddenly stood up to help Qi Xian speak.

Qi Xian was stunned for a moment, raised her head to look at Lian Linlin, and nodded very seriously.

Even the family and the Qi family did not have the rule of eating and sleeping silently, and the two girls sat in the corner of the dining table, talking quietly while eating.

Even Lin Lin's heart is like a clear spring, Qi Xian wants to get close to Lian Tianqing, and she is also intending to please her. The most important thing is that there are still some similarities between the two personalities and ideas, so they chatted very intimately after a while.

Xu asked. ”

Xu Wen was looking at Lian Linlin and them, and suddenly heard Lian Tianqing call his name.

Even Tianqing was at the dinner table, and he always didn't speak, and he didn't pay much attention to what they were saying.

Xu Wen immediately put down his chopsticks and looked at his master intently.

Lian Tianqing pointed at it with chopsticks very casually and said, "Don't be so nervous, keep eating." What did I do when I went to Yushui County this time, let's hear about it. ”

As soon as Tianqing said this, the voices of the other people on the table all stopped and looked at Xu Wen together.

Dongfang Lei and the Qi family sisters and brothers were a little dazed, but the brothers and sisters of the old wood field knew very well that with Lian Tianqing's temper, it was not just a matter of asking what they had taken the test.

In this process, Xu asked what he had done, what he had gained, what ideas he had and what he had to expand.

In the past, when they were studying, Lian Tianqing often asked such questions for Xu Wen to answer.

At such a time, even if it is just an audit, the brothers and sisters of the old wood field can gain a lot-Xu Wen's status among them is also improved little by little by this process.

"There are a total of three apprenticeship tests in Yushui County this time. The first is to make a wooden stool, and the exam questions specifically require mortise and tenon joints, which can be increased by five points for each different form of mortise and tenon joints......"

The surrounding grass and trees are deep, the insects are chirping, and Xu Wen's voice is clear and distinct in the dark night, like the moonlight that is falling.

Dongfang Lei followed him to the old wooden yard, and then was robbed of the limelight by Qi Xian, and there was no chance to speak at all.

After that, he ate with him a little restrainedly, glancing at Lian Tianqing while eating, wondering when to mention the matter of apprenticeship.

Xu Wen began to speak, he couldn't help but start listening, listening and listening, the chopsticks in his hand moved more and more slowly, and finally the whole spirit was put into it.

Of course, he also experienced the first exam, and asked him to make a stool, so he honestly made a simple square stool. After doing it, he sat down twice, feeling very sturdy and satisfied.

Now that he heard what Xu Wen said, he suddenly felt a little dazed.

Is this the test the original? Is there still so much attention to a stool?

Am I really taking the test with this kind of person?

I didn't pass the apprenticeship test...... It's really not wronged at all!

There was also Qi Kun who had the same idea, he was originally just listening casually, but at this time, listening to Xu Wen's analysis, he gradually became serious.

Xu Wen talked about the difficulties he encountered in this exam and the wonderful state he had entered, and Lian Tianqing's slightly frowning brows gradually relaxed, revealing a smile.

"The mortise and tenon joint is just a trail, but it's nice that you can feel like that. Remember, mortise and tenon joints are ever-changing, and they must not be rigid when using them according to local conditions. Dovetail is the simplest, but it's the most used, why is that?"

Lian Tianqing looked around at the apprentices and warned lightly. Xu Wen felt a little stunned for an instant, and the other apprentices were also thoughtful. Dongfang Lei was at a loss, and he didn't understand what Lian Tianqing was saying at all.

"Go on. Lian Tianqing said.

Xu Wen came back to his senses, nodded, and began to talk about the process of the second exam.

He didn't hide it, and after talking about how he made this Babu cool bed, he also talked about its follow-up. In Lu Zhai, Lu Qingyuan took him to see what and said something to him.

These things were unknown to the other senior brothers, and they all frowned, looking a little confused.

"Then what do you think?" asked Lian Tianqing, picking up a shredded piece of meat with the tip of her chopsticks.

"I ......" Xu Wen talked eloquently in front of him, but hesitated at this time.

He was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't know. Standardized production is conducive to management and the formation of scale. But if you elevate furniture making to the level of a work of art, such a method is certainly not possible. But not all furniture should be turned into works of art, and if it is not scaled, the cost cannot be reduced, and you can afford to sleep in a pull-out bed...... Those who can afford to sleep in a better bed are in the minority. ”

Dongfang Lei's eyes lit up.

Xu Wen had never touched some words for him at all, and he didn't understand them halfway, but he still understood the general meaning.

This is also what he said to Lu Qingyuan during the exam, but he didn't expect Xu Wen to think the same as him!

Yes, for ordinary people like them, there is no point in such a high-end bed, they just want to sleep in a good bed and down-to-earth!

"And then?" Lian Tianqing continued to ask, but he knew that Xu Wen hadn't spoken yet.

"But shouldn't such an artistic pursuit really exist? Human beings are not animals, do they just think about being satisfied when they are well fed and sleeping?" At this time, Xu Wen's words were almost like talking to himself.

Eat well and sleep well...... Isn't that enough?

Dongfang Lei couldn't understand it again, what were they talking about, is this something that carpenters should consider?

"Why, why do you choose it?" Compared with Dongfang Lei, the brothers and sisters of the old wood yard listened very carefully. Xu San suddenly picked up Xu Wen's words and asked in confusion, "These two can be managed separately? The rich use the good ones, and the poor ones use the poor ones." ”

Whether it was in Dongfang Lei's previous workshop or in Yuemuxuan, if the master was asking Xu Wen, Xu San interjected casually, this was to be trained.

But in the old wood field, Lian Tianqing nodded approvingly to Xu San, and then asked Xu, "Explain." ”

"Let's settle the score. Xu Wen said, "An ordinary stepping bed can be sold for thirty taels of silver, and the kind made by Master Lu can be sold for a little higher, and it can be sold for fifty taels." Mass production is carried out in a standardized way, and it is relatively rough when we take the exam, and it is not a problem to make one sheet in five days under normal circumstances. However, it took three years for Master Lu's work to be prepared and ready to be produced. If you start doing it in earnest, it will take at least another year. ”

Speaking of which, even Dongfang Lei realized what Xu Wen meant.

"A bed for four years sells for fifty taels. Let's put the price a little higher, two hundred taels. One bed for five days, thirty taels. What would you be willing to do if you were to do it?"

"Isn't everyone looking for money?" Qian Ming said.

"That's right, there will always be people like Master Lu. But can we put hope for the appearance of one or two people?"

Xu Wen is asking them, and he is also asking himself.

Qi Kun looked at him with a shocked expression.
