Chapter 34 Material Work
Only Shao Manchu was empty-handed, standing in front of the small table in charge of registration, looking a little stunned.
Let the carpenters who had already taken their places and asked for the size and quantity of the materials with the servants next to them looked at them and shook their heads.
"How did this kid get into the craftsman group? Isn't he a relative of the steward of this division of labor?"
"That's it, looking at this age, it's not as big as my little apprentice. His hands were empty, and he didn't even carry a set of tools to take advantage of them. ”
"It's still a half-ass, but it's mixed with us, and you get the same salary, hmph, it's really ......"
The voice was not small, and Shao Manchu, who said it, lowered his head in shame.
The poor in the family had pressed out everything that could be resisted, and his father's seventy percent new set of tools naturally couldn't be kept.
It's a bit unreasonable to come to the carpenter's job without tools, but between the lines, it is said that he is here to take advantage of the situation, so he can't bear it.
He had to make a name for himself!
Thinking of this, Shao Manchu couldn't care about being ashamed of his poverty, but held his breath, raised his head suddenly, and put forward his own request to the old man who was still grinding ink carelessly: "Steward, can I ask a question before receiving the tools?"
When these words fell, there was silence in the room, only the old man with the goatee was not affected in any way, stopped his work, raised his eyes and returned: "Oh?
Shao Manchu, who got a response, was even more courageous, his eyes were burning, and his tone was earnest: "I want to ask, can the tools I borrowed here today be put in a separate place by the steward who is responsible for organizing and storing them after the work is dismissed?"
"In this way, when I come back tomorrow, I can still use the same thing, after all, everyone who does the work of craftsmen knows that it is still easy to use the tools that are used to it. ”
Hearing that, the old man groaned for a moment, nodded slightly, and actually responded: "But!"
"The tools are behind you, if you need anything, just go to the box and pick it up. ”
"After the selection, I have someone find a bag for you, and you put the tools in one place. ”
"When it's time for casual workers, they just need to return the bag and count it according to the records on the list, and then they can leave. ”
And after the casual worker, the manager who was responsible for taking inventory of materials saved a lot of trouble. ”
"On the second day, you will come to me again and take your bag. On the contrary, it saves me the time of registration, and I have no choice. ”
Hearing this, Shao Manchu was overjoyed, bowed slightly towards the old man, and with the permission of the other party, went around to the back of the table, and carefully selected the tools he would use in the future.
By this time, the carpenters who originally wanted to rush to the large material area were not in a hurry.
They staggered towards the young man's place, just thinking about whether this person really had some ability, or went straight to take advantage.
Shao Manchu, who was standing in front of the box, didn't notice that he was being noticed at all.
He just focused on the wide variety of tools in front of him and picked out the ones he had to use.
After sweeping it two or three times, Shao Manchu squatted down, took the large bag handed over by the servant who was in charge of guarding the big materials and fine tools, and stuffed the tools he had selected into it one by one.
While stuffing, he also reported to the old man, and his voice was neither high nor low, just enough for the group of craftsmen in the outer circle to hear their conversation.
"A set of wooden rulers, a triangular ruler, a rectangular ruler, a folding ruler, and a crutch ruler. ”
This is the basis of carpentry, beginners only need a triangular ruler and a rectangular ruler, but this kid asked for two uncommon but very useful rulers, which makes people a little confused.
The old man paused for a moment, picked up the little hair on the pen holder, and climbed it on the paper.
"Waist saw (waist and shoulder), cut saw (saw tenon). Two saws, one large and one small. ”
In the choice of saws, it is a rule.
"A set of claw hammers, chisels, chisels, shovels, and flat shovels. ”
Speaking of which, those onlookers didn't leave, just looked at Shao Manho's choice and talked about it.
"Yo, we really underestimated this kid, he chose this set of chisels, isn't it that he can even open his eyes, and chisel doors and windows?"
"But when he signed up earlier, didn't he say that he had only studied for three years?"
After only three years of work, in the hearts of these old craftsmen, it has just left the category of serving tea and pouring water.
Shao Manchu was also not affected by these discussions, bypassed the wooden file with polished shapes, and took the ink fountain and the drill.
He continued to report: "A single-edged axe, one coarse, fine, and light." ”
After saying this, Shao Manchu let out a sigh of relief, and he searched carefully in the box again, then raised his head, walked back to the small table and explained to the person in charge: "The person in charge, that's all for now, if you get involved in any more detailed work in the future, I will come to you again to get the corresponding tools." ”
"I'm just making big ingredients today, I don't need so many things, I just think that these are the basis of carpenter's work, I will take it at once, and I will trouble you more in the future. ”
The words were polite, the child behaved politely, even if others said something, he didn't disturb the work of the main family with a hot head.
The old steward had a good impression of Shao Manho.
He only nodded, pointed to the side, and said without further ado: "Go ahead!" and stopped caring about things that had nothing to do with his work.
Shao Manchu, who had all the tools, was in a good mood, so he forgot to care about the distrust of the previous few people, and followed the craftsmen who frequently turned back to the location of the retrieval area.
What they want to come out of today is the pillar material in the pavilion in the heart of the lake in the water pavilion.
It is necessary to have the same length and similar thickness.
Not only the length, width, height and height are the same, but also the roundness of the planing, the smoothness of the grinding, but also after the completion of the vertical structure, for the carving and painting process, save a little effort.
The family background is not thin, and the wood prepared for the craftsmen is also excellent.
Although it is impossible to be exactly the same, the wood of several large trees is basically the same.
They just need to be sawn, planed, polished according to the size.
When it was really time, the carpenters' minds were all focused on the work in front of them, and they divided the process and went about it.
I don't know if I want to test Shao Manho's ability again, and when I divided the work, I handed over the work of planing this part to Shao Manho.
The style of the pillar they chose in the pavilion in the middle of the lake is the more common trowel column.
The initial preparation process of wood is very simple, you only need to measure the size with an ink fountain and sawed it out according to the rules to make a rough idea.
This process seems to be laborious, but it is just tiring, and it is a simple job for those craftsmen.
However, if this trowel column wants to be molded and used, the next planing is the most important.
