Chapter 5 Furniture Manufacturing

After opening his eyes and stretching his waist, Wang Ke habitually stretched out his hand in the direction of the head of the bed, intending to smoke a cigarette, but the place where his hand reached was generally high. Only then did he realize that he was in the Tang Dynasty, and he slept on the floor. Wang Ke sighed, sat up, shook his head, put on his clothes, and walked out of his room.

Wang Ke lazily came to the car that had been moved to the corner last night, took out the toiletries from the car, and just turned around and saw Uncle Zhang and a few people standing in front of him.

Uncle Zhang stepped forward and said to Wang Ke: "Young Master, these are a few carpenters in the village, today they asked them to come over to do a few things that the young master painted yesterday, they have some things they don't understand and want to ask the young master for advice." ”

Wang Ke looked at them and said, "You go and prepare the materials first, I'll come right away, you wait a while." Several people said yes and went to prepare.

Wang Ke turned back to the backyard, there were already people waiting for him to make clean water, Wang Ke brushed his teeth and washed his face and asked a girl sent by his mother last night, "Dongyue, where are my father and my mother?" Why didn't you see them? ”

Seeing the young master's question, Dongyue hurriedly replied, "The master has gone to the court, and the lady will go back to the city to pack some things, and she will be back at noon." The old man ordered him to stay in the village for the next few days and not to return to the house for the time being. The young master just came back and rested in the village for a few days. ”

Dongyue paused for a moment and said, "Young Master, I have prepared it for you earlier, so the young master will use it first after washing." ”

Wang Ke hadn't had the habit of eating breakfast for several years, and he didn't care about the promise in his mouth, and he came to the front yard in a hurry with the matter of making tables and chairs in his heart.

As soon as he arrived in the front yard, Uncle Zhang walked up to him with a carpenter.

Uncle Zhang pointed to this person and said to Wang Ke: "Young master, this is the carpenter master in the village, surnamed Yang, he has something he doesn't understand and wants the young master to point out." ”

When Wang Ke heard Uncle Zhang's introduction, he hurriedly bowed his hand to Carpenter Yang and said politely: "Master Yang, hello! We still have to work hard for you in this matter, and if there is anything that is not clear, we will discuss and exchange it. ”

Wang Ke's tone is also very common in modern times, but it was different in the Tang Dynasty. There he is a master, such an attitude can make these people really startled, Yang Carpenter hurriedly folded his hands and bent down respectfully and said: "The young master can kill the little one, if there is anything, the young master just commands." After speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Wang Ke carefully, then hurriedly lowered his eyes and said hesitantly: "It's just that the young master painted this pattern, and some of the small ones don't understand yet, I hope the young master can give the little ones a lesson or two." ”

Wang Ke took the drawings, made them on the stone steps at random, looked at the drawings and looked at them carefully, feeling that he was very clear about both the drawings and the markings, and there was nothing missing, so he looked at the carpenter in confusion and asked: "There is nothing wrong, where do you not understand?" I'll hear it. ”

Carpenter Yang moved forward, bent his waist and pointed to the drawing, and said, "Young master, please see, there are a few figures on your drawing, I don't know what's going on; And I don't know what is written next to this figure, so I can't read it. ”

Wang Ke reacted after hearing these words, and he couldn't wait to give himself two mouths. Now he is in the Tang Dynasty, and there are no such detailed drawings in this era, let alone what Arabic numerals are. It's a matter of habit when drawing on your own, and all modern elements are used, so it's no wonder that these people don't know where to start with the drawings.

After Wang Ke knew the reason, he smiled apologetically and said to Carpenter Yang: "It's not your fault, it's my fault, I used the drawing method from the Far West Country, and I'm used to it." Now I'm going to tell you how, it's much clearer and more accurate than our Middle-earth drawing method. After speaking, I explained the diagram by diagram, and the annotation was also explained clearly one by one.

After hearing this, Carpenter Yang thought for a while and said, "Young Master, I know what is going on with this picture, but I can't help this size, we don't have that kind of measuring tool according to your size, how can I do it?" ”

Wang Ke said with a confident smile: "I have already thought of this, I will give you this measuring tool, but you must take care of it when you use it, I don't have much, there is no place to buy it if it is broken." As he spoke, he walked to the car, took out a tape measure from the car, and handed it to Carpenter Yang.

The tape measure is also too common for Wang Ke, he often buys one and puts it away when he finishes it, and when he wants to use it, he can't find it and buys it again, so there are several in his car.

But now he also knows that there is no land to buy here, and it will be gone when it is used up, so he specially advised. Now Wang Ke took one out casually, he didn't feel anything, but in the eyes of Carpenter Yang, it became a treasure.

You think, don't say it was in the Tang Dynasty, even now, many places are still accustomed to using the city ruler and the city inch as a measuring tool, and you can't feel it in the place where the size requirements are not high, but the size requirements for carpentry are quite high, not to mention the city size, even the city inch will appear inaccurate.

Now the annotations on the drawings given by Wang Ke are accurate to the millimeter, where can it be made in the unit of measurement of the Tang Dynasty. After Wang Ke explained the use of the tape measure to Yang Carpenter in detail, Yang Carpenter had already admired Wang Ke so much, he had never seen such a sophisticated measuring tool, and his mouth was full of thanks to Wang Ke, and his face was already excited to the ground.

Wang Ke waved his hand very complacently and said: "Hurry up and do it, make it and I'll see your craftsmanship, if you don't understand anything, come and ask me again, I'm still waiting to sit down." After hearing this, Carpenter Yang bent down and thanked him before turning to leave.

Wang Ke sat on the stone steps and watched the carpenters busy there, took out a cigarette and lit it, and just after a few puffs, he remembered that his things were still in the car, so he called Uncle Zhang and asked him to arrange a few people to bring his things to the house.

Wang Ke followed behind and thought to himself: "It's better to be here, you can ask someone to do anything, if you haven't had to run several times by yourself before, you'll be tired to death." Now this lazy person can be regarded as having found an organization, hehe. ”

After a while, Wang Ke saw that the craftsmanship of these carpenters was not to be said, and the arrangements of Yang carpenters were also orderly, and everyone and everyone did what were arranged steadily, which was quite a bit of modern assembly line operation. Wang Ke remembered the scene of sleeping on the ground last night, and felt that he was still not used to it, so he drew a drawing of the bed and handed it to Yang Carpenter for them to make it together.

In a blink of an eye, it was noon, Wang Ke raised his hand to look at his watch, it was already more than eleven o'clock, a chair had been formed, and the table was beginning to be assembled. So he stepped forward, carefully examined the finished chair, and secretly sighed in his heart that it was much better than the modern carpenters who had such and such power tools.

Just as he was looking at it, a voice came from behind: "Ke'er, what are you looking at, looking so seriously?" ”

Wang Ke turned his head, only to find that it was Mrs. Wang standing behind him, and hurriedly said: "Mother is back, the child is looking at this chair, mother sit on it and try it." ”

Madame Wang curiously stepped forward and sat down. The chair painted by Wang Ke is a circle chair, in addition to the backrest, there are armrests on the left and right, Mrs. Wang sat on it, leaning on the back of the chair, her hands on the armrests, and praised vigorously: "Yes, Ke'er, this is done, or it will be made for the house." ”

Wang Ke looked at Mrs. Wang's happy appearance, and said with a sense of accomplishment: "This can only be regarded as a semi-finished product, and it will take several times of paint to make it." When Master Yang and they are all ready, let them make a few more sets, and put the village and the house on the table. It's so much more convenient than it used to be. ”

The mother and son were talking happily, and Uncle Zhang came up and said that it was time to eat. When Wang Ke heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning.

Wang Ke was a native of Chongqing in his previous life, and when he arrived in the Guanzhong area, he was not used to the food here, and there were no many spices in the Tang Dynasty, so he was not in the mood to eat at all.

But he also knew that this thing could not be changed overnight, so he had to say in his heart: "People are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic." Eat! Even Yoneda also swallowed it. He walked over with a look of generosity and righteousness on his face.
