"A year?"

After listening to Lian Tianqing's words, Xu Wen had countless questions in his mind for a while, but in the end, this was the one that remained.

"Yes, a year. Questions?"

"I still don't know what to take the exam......

"You'll know. ”

A short answer, even Tianqing didn't say much, this matter has become a foregone conclusion here.

Xu Wen has to participate in the county examination of the apprenticeship test after one year, and if he can pass it, he will be regarded as a teacher.

According to the conditions agreed between Jing Cheng and him, once he is out of school, he can go back to his own world. Whether it will be able to come back in the future is still unknown.

On the morning of this day, Lian Linlin did not come to "class", and Lian Tianqing taught Xu Wen alone.

Lian Tianqing's teachings today are obviously different from yesterday's. Yesterday he was bishop literate, and calligraphy is mentioned in passing on this basis.

Today, the content of what he talks about is not confined to one place, and I feel that he wants to talk about it wherever he wants, and he has a very strong jump.

Fortunately, Xu Qianqian has not said anything else, he has experienced the baptism of the information age, and the wealth of knowledge and the breadth of information are far from being comparable to those of these ancient people.

At the beginning, no matter how much Lian Tianqing jumped, Xu Wen could easily keep up.

Lian Tianqing occasionally interspersed some questions in the middle of the lecture, and Xu asked questions almost every time in seconds, which was so easy that it was not easy.

Some surprise gradually appeared on Lian Tianqing's face, and after a moment of silence, he changed the way he lectured.

He no longer talks about it extensively, but continues to go deeper, grasping one aspect and getting to the bottom of it.

Xu Wen quickly felt struggling.

In fact, this is also a major weakness of modern people.

Aside from formal learning, much of what modern people know is very fragmented, and they know a lot but not a lot of it.

Under such exploration, Xu Wen's weaknesses were quickly exposed, and he began to get stuck in Lian Tianqing's questions.

"Have you read a lot of miscellaneous books?" Lian Tianqing suddenly stopped and asked Xu.

The articles on the Internet are not much different from the ancient miscellaneous books, Xu Wen nodded.

"No wonder. There are many but not refined, and they need to be carefully studied. Lian Tianqing said.

"Hmm!" Xu replied.

This half-day class can be said to be a temptation, and Lian Tianqing forced out the limit of Xu Wen in this way, first understanding the boundaries of his knowledge.

Then he taught Xu Wen according to his aptitude and began to explain to Xu Wen the ins and outs of antique restoration.

The so-called antiques, that is, the cultural relics that modern people know, are fundamentally objects made and used by ancient people.

The roots can be traced back to the ancestors and ancestors, and the era of extreme barbarism.

Items are constantly damaged, and if there is damage, it will be repaired, so traces of repair have been found in some very early antiquities.

Antique restoration, starting from here.

People always pursue beauty, and items are divided into two functions from the beginning of manufacturing: use and ornamentation.

Sometimes, the two functions are not separated, but are combined into the same object.

Because of these two functions, the restoration is also divided into two directions, the use of items requires that they can continue to be used after repair, and the ornamental items require the restoration of its beauty.

The former is relatively simple, while the latter is much more difficult.

Therefore, even the Azure Sect Xu asked for repair, and it would start from the first one, focusing on restoring the function of the item.

"This kind of repair is the work done by the tinkers you mentioned before, repairing pots and pots, repairing boxes and bowls, you should have seen them all. Lian Tianqing said.

Xu Wen hadn't seen it, but at this time he could only nod.

"The materials used to make the items are different, and the methods used to restore them are also different. Our restorers classify items into 10 categories according to the material. Since we are now in the wood mill, I will teach you the restoration of wood first. ”

Lian Tianqing was already ready at the beginning, and at this time, he picked up a palm-sized wooden board from his feet and put it on the stage for Xu Wen to see.

"Before you fix something, you need to know what's wrong with it. What's the problem with this plank?"

The wooden board is only a single material, and there is no structure to speak of, so Xu Wen quickly answered.

"It's been soaked in water, and it's been out of shape for too long. The surface is covered with mold and moth-eaten marks. ”

"Yes, there are usually three kinds of problems with wood: deformation and cracking, mildew and decay, and insect infestation. Lin Lin taught you to distinguish wood before, different wood, the problems are different, and the degree is not the same......"

Lian Tianqing started from the basics and gradually went deeper. Just like he had taught them to learn to read and write, he had all these things at his fingertips, and he knew the source of cause and effect very clearly, and he could understand them as soon as he heard them.

Xu Wen listened very attentively, he listened to the lecture very professionally, and quickly grasped the context of Lian Tianqing's lecture, and wrote some words on the paper in front of him with a pen, and made notes.

Lian Tianqing usually feels a little cold and indifferent except for her daughter. But at this time, when he started the lecture, he was equally engrossed, and his eyes seemed to be glowing.

In the middle, he stopped to drink water, occasionally caught a glimpse of the words on the paper in front of Xu Wen, and took it with some surprise.

Xu Wen's handwriting is very ordinary, many words lack pen and little drawing, and he is not proficient at first glance, but he can still understand it in short. The most important thing is what these words present......

Before, Xu Wen took the apprentices of the old wooden workshop to tidy up the warehouse, with a clear structure and a clear context.

Even Tian Qing now looks at his notes in this way. He didn't expect that there would be such a connection between what he said, but Xu Wen just found it out and put it together.

Lian Tianqing looked at these connections and was a little distracted. Through these contents, he thought of other ......

"Are you really from the Xu family?" Lian Tianqing said suddenly.

"Uh......" Xu Wen was taken aback by his words, and he didn't know how to explain it for a while.

But Xu Wen's origin is too clear, even Tianqing inquired about him before accepting him as an apprentice, and now he just said it casually, more lamenting Xu Wen's talent.

After a while, he put down his teacup and continued to lecture Xu Wen.

Xu Wen breathed a sigh of relief and continued to listen intently.

From this day on, Xu Wen's time was very distinct.

In the morning, it was Lian Tianqing's one-on-one lecture time for him.

The more he came into contact with Lian Tianqing, the more Xu Wen felt that this master was extraordinary.

From a certain point of view, Lian Tianqing's chest is really as profound and vast as the sea.

He knows almost everything about restoration. Although he was talking about wood during this time, sometimes one piece of wood was closely related to another material.

For example, bamboo, such as cow horn, such as ivory, such as ceramics.

Lian Tianqing only mentioned it occasionally, which made Xu Wen feel like he had seen an iceberg under the surface of the sea.

However, for the sake of Xu Wen's absorption ability, those things were only mentioned slightly by Tianqing, and they would not be talked about in depth. His main lectures focused on wood.

The material of the wood, the common structure of the wood, the causes of damage and how to deal with it...... He taught Xu Wen all without reservation.

Since Xu Wen came out of school, he has not studied intensively like this. But he didn't feel irritated at all, on the contrary, the more he learned, the more excited he became, and the more he learned, the more he wanted to learn more.

In the afternoon, Lian Tianqing will not go to class anymore, after all, he is still the master of the old wood yard, and he has work to do.

During this time, Xu Wen worked with him, identifying and sorting wood, simply dealing with old wood problems and carrying out initial maintenance.

For Xu Wen, this is practice beyond theory, and in the process, what he learned in the morning has been further consolidated and more impressive.

In the evening, Xu Wen turned the students into teachers and began to teach Lian Linlin and other apprentices what Lian Tianqing had told him.

Lian Tianqing is a more powerful restorer than Xu Wen imagined, but he is by no means a good teacher. What he said was something that only people like Xu Wen could understand and keep up with. Even Lian Linlin, who has been with him the longest, has only learned a little bit over the years.

But when Xu asked such a "translation", even what Tianqing said was not so difficult to understand.

When the apprentices came to Yao's Wooden Workshop, their biggest wish was to learn something and make a living in the future.

Even Tianqing won't hide his secrets, and Xu Wen won't either.

As a result, Xu San's apprentices learned more in one month than in the previous year.

And Xu Wen's growth in this process surprised even Tianqing from time to time.

One day a month later, Lu Cheng suddenly came to the old wood yard secretly and asked Xu mysteriously, "I know why Master Yao is in a hurry to accept apprentices!"

"Oh?" Xu Wen was holding a piece of wood and looking over and over again, studying the mortise and tenon structure on it.

He learned faster than Lian Tianqing imagined, and even Tianqing's teaching was very eclectic. For ordinary craftsmen, mortise and tenon is a profound skill that only senior craftsmen can learn, but Lian Tianqing has now begun to teach him the relevant basics.

"Why don't you ask me why?" Lu Cheng was a little dissatisfied, and glanced at the wood in his hand.

The connected mortise and tenon joints are made by Lian Tianqing himself, and the seams do not leave any traces, for Lu Cheng, this is the most ordinary complete pine wood, which is not a little strange.

"Why?" asked Xu Wencong.

"Because Senior Brother Zhou can't participate in the apprenticeship test. Lu Cheng's attention was diverted, he lowered his voice, and leaned over to Xu Wen and whispered.

"Senior Brother Zhou, why can't you?" Xu Wen still had a very good impression of Senior Brother Zhou.

"His finger has been cut off, his left thumb!" Lu Cheng gestured, his voice lowered.
