Walking into the restaurant of Ma's hometown, as soon as he looked up, Li Yi saw the beams on the high place, and suddenly his heart moved, maybe he asked Ma Hangyu to inquire, maybe he could know how to use the big wood so as not to waste the material.

Since he had this in mind, when he was eating, he deliberately led the topic to the ancient buildings. Seeing that Li Yi was actually quite interested in this, Ma Hangyu happily opened the conversation.

"One of the things I am most proud of is that I participated in the renovation project of Kunning Palace a few years ago, although I used to visit the Forbidden City, although I could see some famous halls, but that time I really saw what it means to reach the peak ......."

"Then, Brother Ma, is the beam of Kunning Palace a whole piece of wood?"

Seeing that Li Yi actually asked such a foreign question, Ma Hangyu laughed and began to explain to him,

"Kunning Palace has 9 wide corridors and 3 deep rooms, how can there be such a long whole wood to be used as a beam? Moreover, the palace building is different from our kind of house, it is called Liang Fang, because the depth is very deep, and there are not only beams between the columns, but also Fang ......"

Ma Hangyu explained a lot, and Li Yi finally figured it out. Houses like theirs are all single-deep, so you will see that there is a main beam, and like a palace, there are often several depths, and the structure of the house is completely different, and the beams often have many roots. In other words, even if his golden silk nanmu is used in these palaces, most of them will be cut into sections.

Although he believes that some palace buildings must be able to use such long beams, unless it is newly built, if it is only repaired, it should not be necessary to replace the beams. But even if it is to change the beams, his golden silk nanmu is too valuable, and now most of those palaces are tourist attractions, how can those people accept such a huge investment?

As for the new construction, it is even more unthinkable, no one will be stupid enough to build a new palace to live in by themselves, but if it is not for their own use, who will buy such an expensive beam?

It seems that he should have been taken into the ditch by Liao Wenhao's casual words. In fact, if you think about it carefully, although it is indeed a pity that such a rare piece of wood is ruined, but how precious is wood, is it not all for human use?

Besides, if you really want to use it in the palace, it is probably better to make money by sawing furniture, and if you really do that, it is very likely that it will not benefit you, but will cause a commotion.

After figuring out this problem, Li Yi was in a particularly happy mood, so he ate an extra bowl when he ate.

"Huh? I think Xiao Li seems to like to eat this wild mushroom, it just so happens that I still have some dry goods left, all of which are picked by myself, absolutely non-toxic and pollution-free, take it with you when you go! ”

Seeing that Li Yiting liked to eat the dishes made at home, Ma Lao became happy, and insisted that he bring the dried mushrooms left at home, and now, this guy took advantage again.

Sent Chang Huaizhi back to the store, and the intact plum bottle was also taken away by the old man for study as usual, and Li Yi found Bai Qianye.

"Coming back? This trip is not short, this is different from being with a girlfriend, I can't miss it! ”

Seeing that Bai Qianye was in good spirits, and actually took the initiative to make a joke, Li Yi secretly exhaled a long breath, it was good to be able to untie the knot.

An hour later, Li Yi got up and left Su Lingzhai, and Hongchen happened to come back from Yangnan at this time, rested for a while, drank a meal with him and Wang Haoqing in the evening, and had a supper with Zheng Shusen and Tan Moxuan, and the trivial matters were basically all done.

Early the next morning, Li Yi rushed to the master's studio, pushed the door open, and saw that Zhong Qi was also there, and couldn't help laughing:

"Senior brother, has Master set a goal for you?"

Zhong Qi smiled bitterly,

"It's decided, even you have a goal, how can I escape? The first prize of flowers and birds, if you can't get it, you will be grounded for two years! ”

"Two years?!"

"Yes, Master said, your progress is much faster than mine, you have to be grounded for half a year, I have been cheap for the past two years!"

Li Yi showed a crying and laughing expression on his face, and suddenly, he remembered a serious problem,

"Senior brother, how many first prizes are there in one category?"

"It seems to be two, in principle, in the case of similar levels, it will be the same as the fine brush and freehand. But this is also possible, I remember that there was another first prize that was simply vacant, and as for only one or two of the same technique, there were several sessions. ”

So strict? Li Yi frowned, the master arranged for him to use freehand landscapes to compete, but the premise is that he has practiced for more than a month, otherwise, he must use freehand flowers and birds to compete. If this is unfortunate, then he and Zhong Qi can only escape the punishment of grounding if they win two first prizes, which is too small.

"Senior brother, can I enjoy your work?"

Zhong Qi raised his neck, all over there, and looked at it himself.

Li Yi walked to the painting table, and when he saw Zhong Qi's work, he couldn't help but secretly exclaim badly.

In his opinion, Zhong Qi's works are of a very high level, although they are one freehand, but he estimates that when he is in the best state, the things he paints are only at this level, and Zhong Haoqing told him that Zhong Qi had participated in one session before and only won a third prize......

"Senior brother, when was the last time you participated in a competition?"

"Four years ago, in the past few years, although I feel that there has been progress, however, others will not wait for me, so I feel that I am going to be unlucky."

Four years ago? Li Yi suddenly felt that he should go to Xinhua Bookstore to take a turn and buy all the award-winning collections of the previous years, but he actually forgot such an important thing when he ran around yesterday.

was wondering if to make a phone call and ask Hongchen to help him run, when suddenly, Hu Jinquan pushed open the door of the studio, waved at the two of them, and went to the car to move all the things down for me!

"These are the collections of the first, second and third prizes of the previous competitions in the past 20 years, and these are the recent works of those people that I and your Master Zhong have collected."

Hu Jinquan picked up a thick album,

"Basically, whoever won the first prize in the last edition will not participate in the next competition, but this is not absolute. I remember, in the last ten competitions, almost three of them have the first prize of the previous session, as for this time, your luck is even better, there are actually two first prizes of the last session have been registered, and it happens to be a fine brush flowers and birds, a freehand landscape. ”

Hu Jinquan smiled slightly, but his smiling face, in the eyes of Li Yi and Zhong Qi, looked like a devil's smile, I knew this was the case, but it was arranged like this, you two boys, do you have a temper?

Li Yi and Zhong Qi looked at each other and smiled bitterly, took the album from Hu Jinquan's hand, and carefully looked at the works of the painters who won the first, second and third prizes last year, and couldn't help but gasp at the same time.

In this album, the works that won the second and third prizes are not enough, but the four first prizes are indeed a bit strong. The two feel that they are only one step away from finding their own unique style, although this threshold is difficult to break through, and two years is not enough time at all, but what happened to the people who can't keep it, and suddenly break through? Why don't they come back for the competition?

"The two of you may not understand the award mechanism of this competition too well, because the number of first, second and third prizes in each session is not the same, and it looks a little chaotic, but in fact, this competition is completely based on the level of the contestants' works."

Hu Jinquan paced back and forth with his hands behind his back for two steps, and then said:

"There is an initial threshold for each award level, and only after this threshold can you be eligible to participate in the competition for that award level. However, the evaluation of the first prize is not entirely based on this criterion. ”

"For example, this year, there are three works whose level has reached the threshold set by the first prize, but among the three alternative first prizes, there is one work, the level is obviously higher than the other two, so I'm sorry, there is only this one first prize, and the remaining two can only be reduced to the second prize. As for the second and third prizes, there are some rules that have not been announced, but you don't need to know this, because that is not your goal at all. ”

Hearing this, Li Yi and the others gasped in unison, this standard is too strict!

According to Hu Jinquan, if you want to win the first prize, not only must the level of the work reach the threshold of the first prize, but also ensure that other works that have also reached the threshold cannot be better than your work, otherwise you can only win the second prize......

"Teacher Hu, I see, just let my master just ground me directly, I ......"

"Yo? Ready to retreat without a fight? Okay, it's okay if you don't want to participate, just be grounded for four years, and even the last two sessions will be hidden, anyway, if you have this mentality, you will be grounded for as many sessions as you participate. ”

Zhong Qi's face immediately turned into a bitter melon, isn't it hellish training? For the sake of happiness in the next few years, can't I give up?

Hu Jinquan ignored him, took out a piece of printing paper from his briefcase, turned around and pasted it on the wall behind him,

"This is your training plan, the first three days, for the time being, practice 10 hours a day, and then adjust according to the situation, up to 18 hours a day, when you come over tomorrow, remember to bring the bedding over, anyway, this place should be not much different from your home in addition to more mosquitoes."

Li Yi touched his nose speechlessly, it seems that the two masters are ruthless, even the futon has to be brought over, not to mention whether it will be really grounded after the competition, but in the past 40 days, it seems that they are going to be grounded!
