For Zhang Laifu, who often deals with the main material of wood, to identify Hailan Huanghuali, it only takes a look, a touch, and a smell to make a judgment. Especially for such a section that has just opened, the kind of flavor reduction is not found in ordinary wood.
"Master, don't you know that this wood can be used as a pen holder?"
Zhang Laifu glanced at Zhong Yue and said slowly: "Ah Yue, do you know the value of this Hailan Huanghua pear? ”
Zhong Yue frowned, "Why is it not suitable?"
"It's a waste to make a pen barrel. Zhang Laifu originally thought that his little brother had cheated Zhong Yue, but now that he knew about this yellow rosewood material, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Liu Erfat. After playing with wood all his life, he was picked up cheaply by a stunned young man, "These sections of wood, if sold to some wood dealers, can have a value of thirty or forty thousand, at present, on the market, the price of this sea yellow has been fried to 30 million tons, and your wooden frame, to say the least, weighs three catties." ”
It's a pity that there is no decoration on this wooden frame, and it is heavily painted, which completely covers up the original decoration of Huanghuali, so it can only be sold as wood. But then again, if it weren't for this reason, Zhong Yue wouldn't have picked up this bargain.
"Just the pen barrel!"
Zhong Yue gritted his teeth, now for him, completing the novice task is the most important thing, how can he complete this novice task so easily without throwing away some blood.
Zhang Laifu heard Zhong Yue's decisive answer, so he said, "Okay, then I'll help you." ”
"Don't, Master, you just watch, I'll come by myself. ”
Zhang Laifu had a painful expression on his face, "I'm afraid that you will waste money, such a precious wood, if you cut it with a knife, it will be dozens, hundreds, don't you feel heartache?"
"I can't bear the child's wolf!"
"Huh?
"Uh...... I mean, there's always a time to be on your own. ”
Without further ado, Zhong Yue first dismantled the wooden frame that was connected and fixed, divided it into sections of wood, and picked up a small section of it, according to the size of this section, it was enough to carve out about sixteen to twenty pen barrels. If you bring a car Huanghuali bracelet, it is about ten star grain bracelets, this value is definitely less than the price of the car pen, which is also the reason why Zhang Laifu thinks he is wasteful.
The simple wooden strips have been cared out, and in order to avoid cracking, Zhong Yue has also put enough margin, but fortunately, these days it has been much easier to use these machines. A rounded pen barrel was slowly polished on the roulette wheel. Zhong Yue was on the small table beside him, put the pen barrel on it, and rubbed it with his hand to see if there was anything that still needed to rest.
The sawdust in one place, in just one hour, the wood that Zhong Yue polished off was almost worth hundreds, and Zhang Laifu was a little painful to see. Huanghuali to make a pen tube, naturally not a precedent opened by Zhong Yue, since ancient times, but Huanghuali has been a precious wood since ancient times, the average literati, where can afford such a royal wood, more bamboo tubes are used, but Huanghuali is good to make a pen barrel? is it really good.
First of all, that is, Huanghuali is oily, and the pen made of bamboo tube is generally used for less than a year or two, if the pen is broken, then even the pen tube is thrown away, mainly because the bamboo is easy to crack. Huanghuali is different, the more you use it, the brighter it is, and the purer and thicker the pulp.
"This is a waste...... Zhang Laifu smoked a cigarette, and he didn't dare to gasp, for fear that he would speak loudly, and Zhong Yue shuddered, so he gave the pen tube to the car. That's hundreds of things missing.
Zhong Yue was engrossed in slowly hollowing out the pen barrel to make a hollow wooden pipe, which is different from the bamboo pen barrel, except for the section where the pen is stuffed, the long section at the back does not need to be thin, but the car is too thin and easy to crack.
Zhong Yue handed the cart's pen barrel to Zhang Laifu's hand and wiped his sweat, "Master, how about you take a look?"
"Ahem, barely, so-so. If all the apprentices in the pen factory were like you, they would have gone out of business a long time ago!"
In the early years, the pen factory occasionally received such a list of precious wood pens, which were carefully designed, basically rarely put the margin, with the superposition of hexagons, a wood can basically be more than two to six pen barrels, if they are all in accordance with Zhong Yue's local tyrant car law, it is really too wasteful.
However, that kind of digging is a test of craftsmanship, and now Zhang Laifu occasionally points out a few words on the side, as for how to do it, it is up to Zhong Yue to make the idea.
After the pen barrel is polished, the next water basin is unique, that is, picking hair, centrifies and other conventional crafts. The pens Zhong Yue makes now are all regular sizes, and they don't need anything like a pen bucket to expand the capacity of the pen. Rubbed good pen, with seven purple and three wolves is the most matched, such a pen, write a small block, iron painting silver hook, particularly strong and powerful.
After going back and forth, it took more than half an afternoon for Zhong Yue to drill two symmetrical holes at the end of the barrel of the pen and tie a knot with a thin string, which was done.
"Master, look at my pen, are you still satisfied?"
Zhang Laifu took it in his hand and looked at the pen, "Do you want me to tell the truth?"
"Of course. ”
"The pen cart is so-so, you can see, the work of the basin is more than a big difference compared to the craftsmanship of the female workers in the pen factory today, and the work after that is also so-so, wasting so many good materials, if I am the owner of the pen factory, I want to strangle you. ”
Zhong Yue's eyelids jumped twice unconsciously, "There's nothing to boast about?"
"For a few months of apprenticeship, you can make a pen like this, it's already good, but after learning, if the pen you make is not qualified, or it is not easy to use, even if it is ten or twenty years, I still say that it is a waste of good materials. ”
Zhong Yue knew that he was indeed a little eager to achieve quick success in doing this, but this was also something that could not be helped. Now he has to focus on what the pen is for, not a handy brush for writing. The ancient calligrapher still bought a pen, and let him spend ten or twenty years on making a pen, but he couldn't afford it, he really couldn't afford it.
"I see, Master. ”
Zhang Laifu handed the pen to Zhong Yue, "Anyway, this pen is the finished brush that you have made with the most effort since you learned to make pens in the past few months. ”
Zhong Yue nodded, "The house is going to be renovated, some furniture and things, let's move it to you for the time being, it won't get in the way, right?"
"I'm a bad old man, if you don't think I'm dirty, just leave it here. ”
"Master, I have to tell you the truth, when I went to the ghost market before, I bought furniture for myself. ”
Zhang Laifu smiled, "I already knew." ”
"How do you know?"
"Except for you, who in our township still raspy those tattered things? You are a fool and a fool, and you have picked up such a precious thing, and the few remaining pieces of wood are not used to sell them for money." ”
“……”
Zhong Yue held the pen and waited for the system's decision.
The system detected that the finished Hailan Huanghuali had both a branch. The quality is medium, the practicability is medium, the material is high, and the comprehensive score is 79 points, reaching the primary brush level. ”
Zhong Yue breathed a sigh of relief, sure enough, there is still money that can make ghosts grind......
When he logged into the system with great interest and saw the next newbie task, he almost cried. [Beginner ink ingot production], is this a special novice task? This is simply to train him into an all-round talent!
