Xu Wen patted it gently, and the fir wood made a crisp sound, and the barrel wall and the bottom of the barrel were perfectly combined, and there was no trace at all.

He exhaled softly, straightened up, and looked around.

His progress was relatively moderate, and some of the other candidates in the vicinity had already finished their work and were doing the water filling test with a sad face, while others were still making the walls of the barrel with even more sad faces.

Today's exam looks easy, but it is quite difficult, and most candidates find it tricky.

But Xu Wen also knows that the more exams like this, the more they can pull out the grade.

Only thirty people were selected for the apprenticeship test, and there was no better result than such an exam.

Xu Wen glanced around, raised his hand and said, "I'm done." ”

"Done?" a small official next to him ran over and glanced at the barrel in his hand.

The wood is dry, and you can tell at a glance that it has not been tested. The little official couldn't help but remind: "Won't you try it first?"

"No, so be it. Xu Wen smiled at him.

The little official kindly reminded him, and if he didn't appreciate it, forget it.

He didn't say much, but picked up the barrel, checked the number plate on it, and carried it to the open space on the other side.

There was no shelter there, and the sun was just right, shining on the barrels, casting shadows on one side.

No one had handed in the papers before him yet, and Xu Wen's wooden barrel stood there, a little lonely.

Some candidates couldn't help but glance over there, and then again.

Hey, how is this bucket a little different from what I made?

By the way, it didn't tie it up with anything!

Yue Mu Xuan's things are very well prepared, and the bucket hoop alone is prepared with two kinds of bamboo and iron sheets.

Bamboo hoops are not as good as iron hoops, but the iron sheet has to be shaped and nailed with eyes, which is not a skill that every carpenter knows. Bamboo hoops are relatively simple, and today's requirements are not durable or waterproof, and bamboo hoops are sufficient.

But whether it is bamboo or iron, the wooden barrel that Xu Wen has made now is clearly useless, and it is as smooth as if it was chiseled out of whole wood.

It's good-looking, but the wood sections assigned to everyone today are the same, and everyone knows how thick it is and whether the whole wood can be chiseled. Xu Wen just wants to look good, and when he turns around, the water falls apart, so it's fun......

Several candidates glanced over there for a long time, and when they looked back at the bucket they had made, they suddenly felt confident.

Let's this, even if it's not good-looking, it's easy to use!

Today's exam is a leakage time, and what you want is to use it!

The candidates continued to work happily, and Xu Wen could feel all kinds of eyes cast from all directions, and his mood was unusually calm.

The sun is falling overhead, carrying the heat of midsummer.

The candidates around were all sweating, but all of them seemed to be accustomed to it, occasionally raising their hands to wipe their sweat, but there was no uncomfortable expression on their faces.

Some of them have sad faces, some are focused, some are beaming, and almost everyone has a different expression.

Xu Wen once again clearly felt that this was a real world, and it was by no means an illusion.

After making this barrel, and in five days, the results are available, and he is going to leave here.

He learned very quickly and a lot over the years, but only as a carpenter, and only as a carpenter, and only a part of the joinery of carpenters.

Eighteen coincidences so far, he has only learned two of them.

Restoring a building is not enough.

Fine wood, large wood, muddy water, stone carving......

He still has a lot to learn.

Will he come here again next time he studies? When will he come again?

Speaking of which, he promised Lian Linlin what he bought for her, but most of the time he couldn't hand it over to her personally......

Xu Wen squinted his eyes, feeling the wind pass by him. He didn't know what kind of feeling his heart was full of at this time.

He wanted to go back to his own world.

But it would be nice to come back again......

"My lord, I'm done. ”

A voice suddenly sounded, and Xu Wen suddenly woke up and looked up over there.

Qi Kun raised his hand and handed the bucket he had just finished to the little official who walked over quickly—there were no water stains, and it was obvious that it had not been tested.

It was still that little official, he looked at Qi Kun with a frown, and finally didn't ask any more questions, nodded and took the bucket away.

The shadows dragged down the ground became two, and there was one more next to Xu Wen's bucket.

The little official remembered the same at this time, and walked over to ask Xu Wen: "After handing over the bucket, you will finish the exam, do you stay here and wait for your junior brother to leave together, or leave the venue first?"

Xu Wen thought for a while and said, "I'd better stay here and wait for someone." ”

The little official nodded, warned him not to influence others, and told him to wait in a shady place under the city wall.

Xu Wen walked over according to his instructions, and it didn't take long for Qi Kun to come.

"Brother. Qi Kun bowed his hand to him with a humble attitude.

As soon as Xu Wen saw him, he remembered Zhou Zhicheng's hand and behaved a little indifferent.

Qi Kun was a little confused, but he didn't say anything.

The two stood in silence in the shadow of the city wall, looking at the candidates on the other side.

After them, gradually some people finished their work and handed over the finished barrels.

These people are still not as confident and bold as Xu Wen and Qi Kun, and they all turned in after irrigating water and finding that there was no problem. Of course, out of practice, this no problem is only temporary, without the early and late treatment, after a long time, there will always be water leakage. They just want it to last a little longer, not to be able to use it for years.

They came over and greeted Qi Kun as if everyone knew him.

Treating everyone, Qi Kun was very polite and talked in return, very sincere, and there was no patience at all.

Xu Wen watched from the side, gradually frowning. He could see that Qi Kun's sincerity was not pretended, but really from the heart.

It was nothing like he had imagined...... Is this person pretending to be too similar, or is there something else going on?

Some people also came to talk to Xu Wen, and the first thing they inquired about was his origin. When they heard the words "Yao's Mufang", several people were puzzled, obviously they had never heard of it.

After a while, another person came over after the exam, he seemed to recognize Xu Wen, and pulled a few people to mumble a few words. Those few people suddenly realized, turned their heads to look at Xu Wen, sneered lightly, and no one came over.

Xu Wen could guess what they were talking about with his knees, it was nothing more than Ma Pengsheng or something. He was so calm that he didn't react at all.

"After the exam, there are still five days before the official release of the list, do you and your brothers have any arrangements?"

Suddenly, Qi Kun's voice came again, Xu Wen was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and found that the other party was looking at him amicably and asking politely.

Xu Wen looked at him suspiciously, but did not answer.

"Yue Mu Xuan has another carpenter's club in Shui County, which is small in scale and specializes in receiving peers. If you don't have any plans, you can go there for a few days. Qi Kun said in harmony.

Obviously, he was asked by Xu and gave a cold face, and in a blink of an eye, he came over again to help, as if he was still sincere, this person ......

"Don't bother, Senior Brother Zhou Zhicheng has already found a place for us to stay. Xu Wen thought for a while and said calmly, while looking at Qi Kun's face with the corner of his eye.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhou Zhicheng's three words came into his ears, Qi Kun's face suddenly turned snow-white.

He bit his lip, looked at Xu Wen in shock, and after a while said slowly, "I see...... It's good to have arrangements......" His voice gradually softened, and suddenly he added, "If you need to, you can still come to me at Yuemu Club, I've been there for the past few days." ”

His words were something Xu Wenzhen didn't expect, he looked at Qi Kun in surprise, the other party didn't look at him, and his face gradually recovered after a while.

Xu Wen retracted his gaze, looked in the direction of the examinee again, and pondered in his heart.

It seems that there is indeed a past between Qi Kun and Zhou Zhicheng, and this past is certainly a major injury to Zhou Zhicheng, and it is not a good memory for Qi Kun.

The most important thing is that Qi Kun really doesn't seem to be a rude and willful rich second generation, and he is even willing to muster up the courage to face Zhou Zhicheng's affairs.

A year ago, what happened to Zhou Zhicheng, what kind of relationship did he have with Qi Kun, and what kind of inside story did he have?

At this time, Xu Wen was really a little curious.

Time gradually passed, and one by one the candidates got up to "hand in the papers".

In the open space of the examination room, the wooden barrel made by Xu Wen ushered in one "partner" after another.

Before the end of the application, that is, at two o'clock or three o'clock in the afternoon, all the works of all candidates in various categories were placed there.

Today's test is all about basic skills, and the things to be done are relatively simple, and everyone completed them a little earlier than the previous two days of the exam.

Among the ten categories, carpentry is the largest category, and the works are also the most conspicuous.

At this time, the sun is at its strongest, and the barrels are exposed to the sun, giving off the characteristic glow of cedar.

At this time, footsteps sounded on the city wall, and Xu Wen looked up and saw the three examiners reappearing on the city wall. He was standing just right, and when he looked over, he happened to see Zhu Gantang looking behind him, and bowed at the same time.

Xu Wen gestured at his salute, a little surprised in his heart.

The examiner is already the biggest figure in this apprenticeship test, and his gesture ...... What's behind him?
