Sun Boran's gaze only stayed on Xu Wen for a moment before moving away, and then began to announce business.

Xu Wen looked up at him calmly, and his mood did not fluctuate, but he noticed that the expressions of the two people on the left and right next to him were a little sneering.

Apparently they also went to Guoxiang Lane that day, and they didn't leave any good memories.

Sun Boran looked down with a faint expression.

"I am Sun Boran, the chief examiner of this Tonghe Mansion apprenticeship test, and the type of work is joinery. These two are Liu Xiu and Yun Yuanji, the deputy chief examiners, and the types of work are ceramics and restoration. ”

He briefly introduced a few words as usual.

The examiners of the apprenticeship test and the 100 work test are strictly screened, in addition to the identity must not have anything to do with the candidates, in addition to the need to have corresponding taboos, there will also be special requirements in strength and reputation.

Nowadays, the division of labor among craftsmen is relatively detailed, and very few people can do everything, so the examiner may only have one direction if he is good at or specializes. But at their level, their eyesight has reached a certain level, and beauty and skill are common to a certain extent, and even if they can't do other categories, they still have no problem appreciating and judging.

After Sun Boran finished the introduction, he saluted the candidates, and then said, "Now you can lift the curtain and enter your own examination room." ”

He gave the order, and all the candidates acted in unison.

Xu Wen turned around, lifted the curtain, and looked up and was stunned for a moment.

There is a rough wooden workbench in the examination room, with materials piled up on the side of the table, and tools on the table, which is actually quite similar to the situation of the last exam. But the only difference is that in the center of the workbench is a half-finished piece of wood.

The moment he saw this wooden object, Xu Wen realized that this was an exam question. What they have to do is most likely to complete this piece of wood on this basis.

Regardless of the difficulty of this question, is it possible that every candidate has been assigned such a thing, a test question?

Xu Wen quickly recalled the number of participants in this provincial examination...... More than 2,000, which is equivalent to the examiner arranging more than 2,000 such semi-finished products?

It's too big, isn't it?

Immediately afterwards, Sun Boran's voice sounded outside again.

"You can see the unfinished items on the table, and all you need to do is finish them. The unfinished products are accompanied by the rules and judging criteria of the exam. The exam will last for three days, and the exam will end in the afternoon of the third day, when the final results will be judged and ranked according to the standard site. ”

Sun Boran was full of anger, and Xu Wen was close to this place and could hear it clearly.

But even if he doesn't speak so clearly, it is natural that his words will reach everyone's ears.

Xu Wen followed his words and looked to the side, and found that there was a piece of paper pressed under the half-finished product, and the words on it were neatly printed.

Xu Wen reached out and picked it up, and after studying it, he found that it should be movable type printing.

The legendary achievements of the four ancient civilizations, this is the first time he has seen it in this world.

Sun Boran's meaning just now is very clear, generally speaking, the whole form of the government test is similar to the third session of the county test, which is completed on the spot and then scored. It's just that one day's work has been stretched to three days, and the content must be much more difficult.

Xu Wen put down the paper and went to study the semi-finished product first.

In line with what he had come to when he first saw it, this was the question they were facing.

- Three days to turn this semi-finished product into a finished product.

It's also interesting to say that he first came into contact with Sun Boran's work and completed the same work. What he did that time was a finch substitution, and what was it this time?

From the outside, it was a small, half-carved box, one and a half feet long, one foot wide, and eight inches high.

With Xu Wen's current strength, he doesn't need to measure, he can make a judgment directly with the naked eye.

It was a bit difficult to complete just a carved chest, but it wasn't too difficult - much easier than the one he had restored a year earlier.

The shape is three-dimensional, very unfixed, and can only be reversed according to the stressed structure.

And a box, square is square, children can draw a whole according to half a box, there is no difficulty in the external shape.

On the front of the box is a complete relief, with a painting of flowers and birds, with moire borders, and in the middle of it is paved with branches and flowers, and between the branches and leaves is a half-small bird. The picture is both smart and solemn, and has a strong decorative nature.

The box is surrounded by moire, and there are carvings at the bottom, which echo the surface of the box.

This flower and bird painting is also only partial, and it is slightly more difficult to launch the whole, but it is also limited.

So the question comes, is this exam question a little too simple as a government exam?

Xu Wen thought about it and changed it to a different direction, that is, the direction that was incomplete and unfinished.

This part does not even have a wall, and you can see the inside directly.

When he saw this, he understood.

Here's the real difficulty – it's a treasure chest.

The inside of the box is divided into many compartments, each of which can be moved and withdrawn, and there are different combinations, which is very delicate.

As on the outside, this part is only half done and has to be completed by the candidates.

This is a bit more difficult.

Such structures are all interlocking, and it is really not easy to sort out the other half without a design drawing, design and make it.

What's more, some of the lattices that have been completed also have carvings, which means that there should also be ones on the lattices to be completed.

In this way, the style of the carving needs to be designed by the candidates according to the existing parts, and the style must be unified. At the same time, as far as the existing part is concerned, these carvings are quite detailed, and to complete such a detailed carving in such a short period of three days, the time planning also needs to be well planned.

Overall, this exam was a little more difficult than Xu Wen expected. Lu Cheng and the others want to pass, and it is estimated that they all need to look at the faces of other candidates.

The prefectural exams are all so difficult, I don't know how the prefectural exams are......

But it's good for him.

The more difficult it is, the more luck factors can be eliminated and the test score will be opened.

You know, he's coming for the head!

Xu Wen took a deep breath, put down the box, and picked up the movable type printed paper next to him.

Written above are some details of the rules and scoring criteria that candidates need to pay attention to, rigorous and meticulous, obviously after very thorough consideration.

The total number of squares in the treasure chest should not be lower, and the degree of completion should be reached. What circumstances do not score points, and what circumstances can add points......

Xu Wen took a quick look at it and remembered the key points.

According to this requirement, three days is indeed a bit tight......

He didn't do it right away, but walked to the other side of the workbench, placed the box in the empty space next to it, and spread out the pen and paper.

The charcoal pen falls on the rough-edged paper, the color of the words is clumsy, but the handwriting is extremely smooth.

He wasn't afraid of wasting time at all, and started a job that few people in this world would do-

Write engineering proposals.
