After handing over the matter to the two guys, Carpenter Tan took An He and Lin Yishan and walked north along a road on the north side of the carpenter's shop. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Walking not far away, I saw a high gate tower obviously higher than the surroundings, a pair of mighty stone lions squatting in front of the door, Tan carpenter knocked on which vermilion lacquer door, a slightly fat, at a glance is a woman born in a rich family opened the door, no need to ask whether it is Mrs. Tan carpenter.

Entering the courtyard, I saw that the four Qing buildings were connected with the roll shed, and the outline was outlined on all sides, and the green windows and oil walls were very extraordinary. There are two clumps of green bamboos on the side of the wall, which only adds a little elegance. It's just that there is a rockery in front of the house, which looks big and unobstructed.

Entering the house, there is a couplet in the middle hall: carved railings and paintings, ghostly axes, decorating thousands of doors, water pavilions, class door skill, building ten thousand houses and fields.

There is a statue of Luban on several cases, and a one-person high Bogu shelf is erected on the east side, and all kinds of porcelain are placed on it.

All the furniture in the house is made by Carpenter Tan, which looks extremely fine.

Carpenter Tan, while beckoning An He to sit down with Lin Yishan, instructed the woman to pour tea and cook, Lin Yishan rarely came to this kind of house, he seemed very restrained, and he was not calm at all.

"Tan's shopkeeper's house is really a good place, elegant and exquisite." Ann and praised.

"The courtyard and the house were designed by the old man alone, which made the young man smile." Carpenter Tan looked very proud.

"It's just that the rockery in the courtyard is a little abrupt, the beauty of the mountain stone in ancient times, all in the "through", "leakage", "thin" three words, the stone has eyes for "through", the four sides are exquisitely for the "leak", the wall stands in the air, the lonely and unleaning is called "thin", the mountain you stand on is integrated, too round, and the courtyard is small and large, not very matched. ”

An He saw that he was proud, and deliberately found fault to kill his arrogance.

Carpenter Tan had long seen this thing awkwardly, but he didn't know what to do, and after Anhe pointed it through, he thought it was true.

"I don't know what Childe can work around." Carpenter Tan asked.

Such a big stone moved to the home, it is not easy to come by, if you move away again, the cost of manpower and material resources is greater, it is better to dig some holes in the mountain, the size is different, avoid the hole eye is too round, should be a "through" word, dig a small pit on the top of the mountain, the mountain opens several small grooves, the water in the pit in the rainy day, down the trough, should be a "leak" word, there is a mountain can not have bamboo, move the green bamboo in the courtyard to the front of the stone, cover half, so that which mountain does not appear too hypertrophied, should be a "thin" word, mangosteen mirrors, will be more elegant.

Carpenter Tan agreed, and his admiration for An He was even more impressive.

"What the young man said made the old man suddenly, and I will find someone to transform it according to what you said another day."

"The boy's occasional words, shopkeeper Tan must not be serious, let's get the picture out quickly, let's carefully study and study how to build which Zhuge repeater." An He said with a smile.

Carpenter Tan hurriedly took out the picture from his sleeve and spread it on the table, and Anhe explained the method of making it to Carpenter Tan in detail:

The key to the production of this crossbow is to install a horizontal arrow box above the crossbow body, and to load the arrow on the left side through the loading mouth on the arrow box, which can be loaded with 10 arrows, and there is a stop board in the middle of the arrow box, which can stop the arrow at a position that can just be hit by the firing pin on the bowstring, and only in this position, there are holes in the front and back of the arrow box.

A separate skateboard can be slid left and right in the quiver box, so that the arrows can be supplied one by one, and when one arrow is shot, the next arrow is slid to the position where it will be fired. A wooden pole as thick as an arrow is fixed in the middle of the bowstring, and the pole can be moved in the arrow box, so that the arrow can be struck.

Then install a hand grip slider under the crossbow body, which can slide back and forth on the slide rod under the crossbow body. By installing the wood chips on both sides of the slider and exceeding the height of the bowstring, you can put the string on the crossbow machine backwards, and then move the slider to the bottom of the arrow box after winding, pull the trigger, and the bowstring drives the middle wooden rod to shoot out, and fire the arrow located in the arrow box, and the arrow shoots out.

Pull the slider back, pull the trigger on the bowstring, move the wooden rod backwards to give way, pull the weight down, and load the next arrow for the next shot.

An He said that he explained according to the picture, and at the same time compared the size and shape of each object with his hand, Carpenter Tan listened carefully, only afraid of missing a word, and it took about half an hour to explain clearly to Carpenter Tan.

"Although the old man already understands the method of production, he is afraid that it is not easy to do it, and the old man can only do it while trying." Tan Carpenter said.

"It's not tight, anyway, it's not in a hurry, you just do it slowly." An He said.

At this time, the woman had already cooked the meal and came over with tea, and Carpenter Tan took the cup and poured it.

Anhe took a sip and almost vomited, bitter with a salty taste, Anhe swore that it was the worst tea he had ever drunk in his life.

It turned out that in the Tang Dynasty, the tea cake was drunk, the young leaves of the tea were collected, then steamed, pounded into a puree, compacted into a block with a utensil, air-dried, boiled, knocked down the tea block, crushed, sieved out small particles with a sieve, put it in a vessel to boil, and the salt was mainly added to remove the foam in the tea soup and a layer of water film on the surface, so that the color of the tea soup was brighter.

So drinking tea is time-consuming, and you can't drink it for half a day. Unlike later generations, the tea leaves were brewed directly in hot water, so when they first came, the woman did not immediately bring the tea, because she went to make tea.

Which Tan carpenter has been enthusiastically urging An He to drink tea, but I don't know that An He drank this tea with salt, which is simply the same as chewing wax, and swallowing it like coptis.

I heard that in the Tang Dynasty, it was a very high standard of hospitality for you to be able to drink tea as a guest, and I was embarrassed to brush the heart of the host, so I was hard-headed, held my breath, drank it all, and even praised it against my will:

"Good tea, good tea."

When the carpenter heard this, he came to his senses, and thought that An He loved to drink, so he lifted the teapot and poured a full cup. Bludman and almost escaped.

Fortunately, at this time, the woman cooked the meal and brought it up, six dishes, and Carpenter Tan asked Mrs. Tan to take the wine that she had treasured for many years, the wine in ancient times was all brewed wine, and it was not purified, and all the degrees were only one or twenty degrees, which was much lower than the current wine degrees.

"Water Margin" said that before Wu Song went to Jingyanggang, he drank eighteen bowls of wine, which is the ancient wine, if he drinks the current fifty or sixty degrees of liquor, let alone eighteen bowls, eight bowls will be dizzy, eighteen bowls will definitely die, and there will be no wonderful clips of Jingyanggang Wu Song fighting tigers.

Lin Yishan didn't know how to drink, he just lowered his head to drink tea, and An He accompanied Tan Carpenter to drink more than ten glasses in a row, for a modern person who is used to drinking fifty or sixty high wine, which one or twenty degrees of wine is simply a trivial matter.

Carpenter Tan was secretly surprised, I don't know where this kid came from, at such a young age, he can draw a long-lost Zhuge crossbow diagram, he is not afraid in front of people, his conversation is extraordinary, and his alcohol consumption is not bad, but now he is a little dizzy, and this kid doesn't seem to be drunk at all, how can there be such a talent in Yongcheng County?

"I don't know what the young man is called, and where his home is," Carpenter Tan asked.

"The boy's surname is An, a single word and a word, his parents died when he was a child, but fortunately he was taken in by the family teacher, so he has survived so far. The family teacher sought the Tao of Yingzhou, and after retreat and practice, I ended up here, but fortunately my brother Yishan took me in. Ann went over the lies he had told him several times.

"The old man Tan Zhenshan, originally a native of Dingzhou, later lived here, if he is useful to the old man in the future, even if he speaks, the old man will definitely help."

Tan Zhenshan had obviously drunk too much, and the flush on his face was like sparks splashed in a pot of oil, spreading rapidly.

The woman saw that Tan Zhenshan had almost drunk, so she hurriedly served the most dish and served it together with the soup cakes.

When I looked at the soup, I went, and it turned out to be a crab, and the lady chopped the crab into several pieces, and fried it with oil, salt and fungus.

Anhe's favorite hairy crab in Yangcheng Lake in later generations, the world's good things are suitable for single eating, crabs are fresh and fat, sweet and greasy, white as jade, yellow as gold, has reached the extreme of color and fragrance, and nothing can surpass it, and other things together, to aggravate the taste of crabs, it is tantamount to painting snakes.

If you eat crabs, you need to keep the crabs intact, put them in a pot and steam them, and then put them on a plate, without adding any seasonings, that is, peel and eat to have a taste. The woman did this, it was really a tyrannical thing, which crab is also known as the first delicacy in the world, if you know that you are doing this, it is estimated that you will not want to be a crab in the next life.

An He thought: I think Tan Carpenter is also a delicate and elegant person, why do you marry a wife like this.

An He didn't know which Liu's father was a wealthy businessman, which Tan carpenter when he was young, from Dingzhou to Yongcheng to work, Liu's father fell in love with Tan carpenter's craftsmanship, and his character was good, and honest, so he married his daughter to him.

Which Tan carpenter was still a little carpenter who was not famous at that time, sawing a tree for people, making a stool and chair, there is such a rich person who takes a fancy to himself, where can he care about the appearance of the Liu family, so he agreed.

The rich merchant only had one daughter, and after his death, the two of them naturally inherited the rich merchant's inheritance, and the house they live in now is also left by the rich merchant, and Tan Carpenter only later renovated it and made some furniture by himself.

Although the Liu family is unsatisfactory in appearance and taste, Nian father-in-law is kind to him, Tan Carpenter has always been very good to the Liu family, and has never thought about other women, and he can be regarded as a person who knows kindness and justice.
