Chapter 159: A tenon cut into a bone

Chen Zheng saw that Zhu Zhengrong confessed the truth, and was a little embarrassed, if Zhu Zhengrong left the Skillful Craftsman Division in the future and went to sea with Tang Yi's whaling team, Wang Liangyi, the waiter of the Ministry of Labor, would still have to ask for someone from him.

"I'm afraid it won't be completed for a while, let's study how to build this sea whalebone temple." Chen Zheng changed the subject.

A word woke up the person in the dream, Zhu Zhengrong no longer fantasized about wandering the sea, and the task of building the Sea Whale Bone Temple at the moment is the top priority.

If this task is not done well, let alone invite Ying to the whaling team, I am afraid that his position as a skillful craftsman Si Cheng will be achieved, and if he gets it right, he may be convicted.

While the two were chatting, the three craftsmen had already cleaned the spine of the sea whale bone, and a long and straight vertebrae were horizontal in front of Chen Zheng and Zhu Zhengrong.

Chen Zheng took out a ruler to measure the size of the vertebrae, then nodded, and said to Zhu Zhengrong: "The next idea is to use the vertebrae of this sea whale as the main maberstone, across the temple, what does Lord Si Cheng think?"

Zhu Zhengrong bent down and knocked on the vertebrae, frowned, and asked, "Is this strength enough?"

Chen Zheng nodded and said, "What I plan to build is a four-rafter structure, this vertebrae are at the highest point of the roof truss as the spine, and on both sides of it, two strong purlins are erected as flat masques to share the force of the spine, I think this is no problem." ”

"In that case, it's all up to Master Chen's arrangement." Zhu Zhengrong has no opinion.

The order he received was to cooperate with Chen Zheng with power, since Chen Zheng had his own plan and explained it reasonably, Zhu Zhengrong naturally would not argue.

First, Zhu Zhengrong is convinced of Chen Zheng's craftsmanship; Second, Zhu Zhengrong was a little worried, in case Chen Zheng was disgusted by his own opinions, and he didn't do it, and said "You can do it", then their entire craftsman company would be considered a claw.

Then, Chen Zheng moved the ribs of the sea whale over again, and said to Zhu Zhengrong: "These ribs are going to be made into rafters and put between the rafters vertically, what does Lord Si Cheng think?"

"Very good, very good," Zhu Zhengrong nodded busily in agreement.

Since the plan was passed so smoothly, Chen Zheng did not ink, and began to work.

The texture of this bone is completely different from wood, although it is hard, but it is also very brittle, and if you are not careful, it can cause damage.

Fortunately, Chen Zheng has the bonus of the Super Carpenter System, and his natural skills and skillful craftsman make Chen Zheng's every move just right, perfectly avoiding this risk.

Therefore, Chen Zheng declined the help of the craftsmen of the Craftsman Division, and he still did it himself, and he was relieved to come by himself.

After the craftsmen of the Qiaojiang Division were rejected by Chen Zheng, they were still a little unconvinced, thinking that Chen Zheng looked down on them, so he didn't let them interfere.

However, the craftsmen who stood aside and observed Chen Zheng's workmanship, after observing for a while, had to admit that Chen Zheng's techniques were beyond their reach.

The repetition of Chen Zheng's every movement was so perfect that it was almost identical, and the naked eye could not distinguish the difference at all, and all the craftsmen present thought that they could not reach Chen Zheng's level.

It turns out that it's not that people look down on themselves, it's that their own level is really not as good as others.

However, what they didn't know was that in Chen Zheng's heart, he really looked down on their skills.

All the craftsmen present, Chen Zheng is not aimed at a certain person, their skills, in Chen Zheng's view, are all scum.

After carefully planing the vertebrae and ribs, Chen Zheng could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and then it was time to open the mortise and tenon joint.

Before opening the mortise and tenon joint, it is necessary to draw the line, which is more labor-saving, and this work can be handed over to those craftsmen to do.

After all, the work of marking the line, as long as it is done according to the drawings, there will be no mistakes, there is no technical content, and Chen Zheng handed it over to them, which is more assured.

Zhu Zhengrong handed Chen Zheng a brocade handkerchief, wiped his hands, and then brought another cup of tea, and said: "I saw Master Chen working in the Skillful Craftsman Division before, and the use of that skill has already opened the eyes of this official, but I didn't expect to see it today, and I know that Master Chen has not done his best." ”

Chen Zheng took the tea, took a sip, moistened his throat, and said with a smile: "Lord Si Cheng, don't make fun of it, a little carving insect skills, how can you be generous with the eyes of the family."

"If Master Chen's skills are still small insect carving skills, then these people are wine bags and rice bags." Zhu Zhengrong pointed to the craftsmen who were drawing lines.

Chen Zheng was a little speechless, you praised me like this in front of them, in case someone was careful and deliberately drew the wrong line for me, it would be a big trouble.

So, Chen Zheng hurriedly said: "Lord Si Cheng's words are wrong, these craftsmen and masters are all skilled, all of them are pillars of the country, how many good things have been done by following the adults over the years, don't chill their hearts in order to lift them up." ”

After Chen Zheng had been reminded of this, Zhu Zhengrong also realized what he had just said, and he hurriedly snorted and said, "I don't know that they have made a lot of contributions, but I really covet Master Chen's skills." ”

"We're working together now, what's there to be greedy for," Chen Zheng said with a smile.

Zhu Zhengrong nodded after hearing this, and said, "What Master Chen said makes sense. ”

After taking a sip of tea and resting for a while, Chen Zheng began to work again.

The rest of the work is not easy to do, digging the mortise and tenon on the sea whale bone, which is even more difficult than carving on the raw eggshell, and the previous work will be wasted if you are not careful.

Therefore, despite the blessing of the system, Chen Sheng still proceeded cautiously, for fear of damaging the sea whale bone.

In this way, when the sun set to melt gold, Chen Zheng had not finished the tenon on the vertebrae, let alone the tenon on the finer ribs.

The light was too dim, and if it continued like this, it would increase the risk of damage, so Chen Zheng had to give up and wait for tomorrow to get it again.

Since the Super Carpenter system, it was the first time that Chen Zheng felt that it was so exhausting, and it seemed that working on this sea whalebone was really not something that ordinary people could do.

It's no wonder that no one in the entire Artisan Division dares to take on it, it really doesn't have this ability.

Now it seems that without the blessing of the system's innate skills, even Chen Zheng would be unable to control this sea whalebone.

"Master Chen has worked hard today, so the official will arrange a sedan chair and send Master Chen back to Honglu Temple." Zhu Zhengrong stepped forward and said.

Chen Zheng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Lord Sicheng, don't bother, just walk back down." ”

Zhu Zhengrong shook his head and said, "How can it be done, after a day's work, how can I let you go back again?"

"Although I have done a day's work, these legs are not very laborious, and now I am a little sore, it is better to walk back, and Lord Si Cheng does not have to insist." After Chen Zheng finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"Eh, Master Chen, wait a minute," Zhu Zhengrong shouted behind Chen Zheng.
