Chapter Twenty-Eight: The First Place

Li Kesheng looked at the model of the chair in Foreman Jin's hand without love, it was so immature and naΓ―ve, I was afraid that Li Ke would collapse and shatter if he went down on one leg.

On the other side, Foreman Jin didn't know that Li Ke was looking at him without tears, and was still carefully polishing the "chair" in his hand like polishing a work of art, gently stroking the "chair" in his hand from time to time, showing a smile of enjoyment like caressing the skin of a girl.

Yuan Kui saw Li Ke frowning and his expression was different, so he coughed lightly.

Now the craftsmen of the whole carpentry room have a tacit understanding, and they all stopped the work in their hands, and some of the older craftsmen saw that someone was disturbing, and their faces were displeased, but this displeasure was quickly replaced by a respectful face.

When Foreman Jin saw Li Ke coming, he hurriedly put down the file, stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "Your Highness is down, the old man is far away to welcome ,,,,."

Then he turned around and gave the other craftsmen a look, and greeted loudly: "King Wu has arrived, and he has not come to salute." ”

"Well, I've seen Your Highness."

"Hehe, Your Highness, they are all rough people and don't know how to count etiquette, please forgive your Highness."

Li Ke looked at his "throne" unhappily, waved his hand and said, "Okay, go ahead of yourself, Lao Jin, what you can do with this chair is not to my liking." ”

Foreman Jin thought that the bad appearance of this chair caused His Royal Highness to be dissatisfied, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, this chair, the chair has not been polished, polished and painted, so it is not good, this chair is carved from a whole piece of Nan wood, and the small one took two days to carve. After speaking, he also took the drawings and compared the size, and threw Li Ke a quick look to praise me.

Li Ke looked at it and saw that it was really the same size as the one he had painted, but when he heard Foreman Jin say that he used a whole piece of nanmu to "carve" a chair model, Li Ke was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart how idle this is.

The ancient woodworking technology can be said to be a few streets in later generations, the Tang Dynasty has not yet entered the coal age, in the era of firewood, build houses, make furniture, burn firewood, weaving machines, push wheelbarrows, etc., clothing, food, housing and transportation are inseparable from wood, so that the vast forest on the fertile soil of thousands of miles in Guanzhong, through the Han Gaozu Liu Bang began to cut down for two thousand years to later generations only left the endless loess slopes in northern Shaanxi. By the Tang Dynasty, some places in Guanzhong could not keep up with the fertility of the land due to reclamation and excessive farming, and Guanzhong had insufficient food supply.

Seeing that Li Ke didn't react, Foreman Jin pointed to the "chair" in his hand, and said embarrassedly: "Your Highness, it didn't take much time for the prototype of this chair to be decayed, it is these patterns, you see the cranes, clouds, and dragon patterns here, which are necessary in our royal woodwork. ”

Foreman Jin said that he wanted to continue to say that he wanted to think about the 。。。。。 back then.

Li Ke didn't dare to give this talkative old man a chance to speak, so he hurriedly crossed and said: "Stop, Stoop, Lao Jin, Lone doesn't mean that the style is not to my liking, Lone refers to proportion." ”

"How many poems are there? Proportion? Foreman Jin was confused. It turned out that the Tang Dynasty did not have the concept of proportionality, and at that time comparison was still a principle of breaking prison, a form of law, and an example of a criminal case with legal effect.

Seeing that Foreman Jin didn't understand what proportions were, Li Ke didn't explain, so he directly took the chair diagram next to him, and then drew the corresponding proportions.

Foreman Jin looked at the size of the text on the picture, and suddenly realized: "Isn't Your Highness making this "chair" for the purpose of placing a bronze mirror for makeup?" Why do you want to do it so big? ”

Seeing that Lao Jin finally understood, Li Ke finally had a sense of relief, and said: "This ratio is a foreign saying, invented by a person named Billy, he draws according to the size difference between the drawings and the actual style, as long as you know this method, you can easily know the size of the thing you want to make, because this person named Billy made it, so the head of foreign countries, eh, the emperor often said to engage in Billy." ”

"Lone makes this chair for sitting."

"Do?" Foreman Jin really couldn't keep up with Li Ke's thinking, and he didn't ask why foreign emperors wanted to engage in billy, it turned out that the Tang Dynasty generally knelt when it came to sitting, so there was often a mat in the place where he "sit", so he sat on the ground. The word "chair" has not yet appeared in the dictionary of the Tang people, and the chair is the left wood and the right is strange, which shows that the chair appears in people's lives as a peculiar wooden furniture. Foreman Jin really couldn't think of how to "sit" on the chair, and thought he was doing something.

Li Ke, who felt that there was really a generation gap with Foreman Jin, had to hold his forehead and say: "You first make a prototype according to the size of Lone." After speaking, he waved his hand, pointed to the size and proportion on the drawing of the Hu chair, and did not forget to add: "Don't carve the pattern first."

Foreman Jin touched his beard and looked at the exact proportions on the drawing, his brows full of doubts stretched, and said: "This is easy to do, but it may not be carved from a whole piece of wood, and it has to be spliced with mortise and tenon." ”

Li Kexin said: "Can the old man not show off the wood carving, it is not easy to buy a log chair in the future, the market is full of spliced synthetic chairs made of plywood, is it really good for you to show off like this." ”

Foreman Jin didn't talk nonsense anymore, and hurriedly beckoned others to find suitable wood to come in, because the sawing work was done by the craftsmen outside with apprentices, so it didn't take long for a few pieces of wood to be found in, and after the craftsmen discussed the division of labor, a rapid knocking came down, and after a while, a decent chair prototype was made.

Li Ke looked at the prototype of this chair, and wanted to sing a sentence to finally wait for you, but fortunately I didn't give up. If it weren't for the alloy chair in Qingzhu Laboratory, Li Ke couldn't move it out, Li Ke really wanted to take out the space chair and throw it to Foreman Jin and do it.

Because he didn't know the sturdiness of this chair, Li Ke looked at Lao Jin, well, it's not good to fall when he's older, and then looked at Yuan Kui next to him, and said, "Ah Kui, you go over and sit." ”

"Sit?" Although he didn't understand what Li Ke was referring to, Yuan Kui still walked over, but looked at Li Ke with a confused face in front of the chair.

Li Ke had no choice but to guide Yuan Kui's body, "Take it easy, lean down, go back a little, well, sit." ”

Yuan Kui was very uneasy sitting on the chair, maybe he was used to sitting on the ground, and he was not used to sitting with a slightly higher center of gravity, maybe it was forced by the pressure of Li Ke, the prince.

It didn't take long for Yuan Kui to get used to it, and he said in surprise, "Your Highness, it's so comfortable to sit like this." ”

Li Ke, who was sure of the sturdiness of the chair, hurriedly pulled him up, and then sat down with a familiar ass, well, that's how it feels.

Although it is a prototype, the craftsmanship of his own craftsmen is still okay, Li Ke touched the back of the chair, there are no burrs, but it is not bright enough. And there are no left and right handrails.

Li Ke nodded and said with satisfaction: "This chair is okay, Foreman Jin, you come to sit, there are still some improvements here." After speaking, let Foreman Jin go up and try to sit.

After a period of twisting, Foreman Jin also got used to the feeling of sitting in a chair. Li Ke said with a smile: "Lao Jin, add two more armrests here to make the overall curve smoother." ”

Foreman Jin also found that he had no place to put his hands, nodded and asked, "Your Highness, what does it mean to have smooth curves." ”

Li Ke put his hand on one of the chairs, "You see that the lines of this curved place are a little abrupt, easy to rest, this place is quite smooth and smooth, in fact, if you want to make a lonely chair, you only need to try the comfort of this chair more, and you can make a more and more comfortable chair." ”

After a pause, Li Ke dropped a bombshell news, "Lone is going to open a chair shop specializing in selling this kind of furniture, what do you think, Lao Jin?" ”
