"I want to, but my aunt said that Go is too expensive and our family can't afford it." Tan Xiaotian's eyes lit up at first, and soon dimmed - of course he knew that it was much more convenient and accurate to set up chess on the chessboard than to draw on the ground, but the price of a pair of chess pieces was not something that his aunt's economic situation at this time could afford, although if he sold the jade pendant that Liu Wenxiong gave him, he could immediately change the living situation of his aunt and nephew, but his aunt said that the jade pendant was too valuable and could never be sold until the last resort, so although the family got a windfall out of thin air, The lives of the aunt and nephew have not changed much.

"It's not to buy it, it's my uncle to give it to you, do you want it?" Lin Lao Wu asked with a smile - he already knew the current situation of Qiu Ju's aunt and nephew when he was drinking with Tian Dayi last night, and Tan Xiaotian's answer was not unexpected by him.

"Really?!" Tan Xiaotian's eyes that had just dimmed immediately lit up again, and he hurriedly asked with joy.

"Of course it's true, who in Meilong Town doesn't know that I, Lin Lao Wu, is a man who spits and smashes nails, how about it, do you want it?" Lin Lao Wu replied proudly - the so-called righteousness slaughters more dogs, and most of them are scholars, and people living at the bottom of society often attach more importance to their own reputation, and the simpler their brains are, the more so.

"Yes, if you want it, I don't want it." Knowing that the other party really wanted to give him chess equipment, Tan Xiaotian excitedly dragged Lin Lao Wu's arm and jumped and jumped, screaming and shouting, and even took Lin Lao Wu to see it in his eyes and was very happy, proud of the idea he came up with in a flash of inspiration, but jumping and jumping, Tan Xiaotian seemed to suddenly remember something, and his excitement was lost instantly, which was a pity, and he said very helplessly.

"Don't want it? Why not? Lin Lao Wu was stunned and asked strangely - children don't tell lies, looking at Tan Xiaotian's appearance, he obviously wants to die, but he insists on refusing, there will always be a reason for this.

"My aunt said you can't ask for other people's things. Moreover, and Go is very expensive" Tan Xiaotian muttered, he wanted it in his heart, but he knew that he couldn't ask for it, his mouth was not right, and his voice was getting smaller and smaller.

Haha, I see. Every day, Go equipment is very expensive, and my uncle can't afford it. Understood the child's thoughts, Lin Lao Wu said with a laugh.

"Huh?" Hearing this, Tan Xiaotian was extremely confused - he said that he wanted to give him chess equipment but couldn't afford it, could it be that he was amusing himself just now?

"Hehe, Tiantian, do you know what your uncle does?" Seeing the confusion of the child, Lin Lao Wu didn't want the other party to think that he was playing tricks, so he asked with a smile.

"Well, fix the tables and chairs." I don't understand why the other party suddenly asked this kind of question, Tan Xiaotian thought about it and replied hesitantly, he didn't know what a carpenter was, but when he came back yesterday afternoon, he saw Lin Lao Wu repairing a chair in front of the Yuelai Inn, so he answered like this.

"Hehe, that's right, but repairing tables and chairs is just one of them, to be right, the fifth uncle is a carpenter, building houses, beating furniture, building bridges and boats, and all the work that touches the wood can be done." Lin Lao Wu said proudly - he is very confident in his own craftsmanship, within a circle of twenty miles, carpenter's craftsmanship, he called the second, no one dares to call the first.

"Uh", Tan Xiaotian understood, but he still didn't understand, the other party was a carpenter, and he was a very capable carpenter, but what does this have to do with sending himself Go?

"Hehe, isn't the chessboard made of wood? I've looked at it carefully, it's not a big deal, it is estimated that it will take two or three years from the selection of materials to the production, but if you don't consider the service life of the chessboard, half an hour is enough. Lin Lao Wu explained with a smile - the manufacture of chess sets needs to go through natural air drying, thinning, waxing, engraving and other processes, of which the most time-consuming part is natural air drying, that is, the wood is stored in the sun and the air is unobstructed, until the moisture inside the wood is volatilized, after this process of wood made of wood products are not easy to dry out and deform, some of the best furniture used in the wood, natural drying of this process alone will take twenty or thirty years, the so-called insiders look at the doorway, laymen look at the lively, Lin Lao Wu carefully inspected the batch of chessboards that Ah Fu bought, although it was impossible to reverse all the craftsmanship, but eight or nine were not far from ten, but they were not far behind. His family is a third-generation carpenter, and he has ready-made timber at home, and for him, just finding a piece of wood to make a chessboard is like having fun.

"Uh, I see, you mean you do Go yourself?" Tan Xiaotian understood a little, the other party probably meant that the chess set was made by himself, and he didn't need to spend money, if he didn't get money, his aunt might not say that he was himself, right?

"Hehe, almost, the chessboard is not a big problem, but the chess pieces are a little troublesome, that kind of thing is like porcelain, and no one in our town can do it." Lin Lao Wu said with a smile - the so-called art industry has its own specialty, and the carpentry work is difficult for him, but the chess pieces of Go have nothing to do with carpentry work, so he can't help it.

"Well, with small pebbles, there are a lot of small pebbles by the river, some black and some white, I'll just pick them up." As soon as he heard that there was a way to do things, Tan Xiaotian also used his brain.

"Well, yes, yes, but there are 361 chess pieces in a pair of Go, although there are many pebbles by the river, but it is not easy to make up enough for so many sizes of the same size, and it is not good to put it on the chessboard, if you want to polish it, I am afraid it will not be possible to do it in two or three months." Lin Lao Wu thought for a while and replied - after all, he is an adult and a craftsman, and he is more thoughtful than a child before making things.

"Uh, that's right, Uncle No. 5, do the chess pieces have to be porcelain? Isn't it okay to use wood? Recalling the size and shape of the stones he saw when he went to the river to play with his children, Tan Xiaotian also felt that although his proposal was feasible, it was not very good, his idea was very simple, thinking that since Lin Lao Wu said that he could do anything that touched wood, wouldn't it be possible to solve it if the chess pieces were also wood?

"Wooden? ,Ha,It's really dark under the lights.,I've been playing with wood for more than 20 years.,Why did you forget it at this time.。 Being reminded by Tan Xiaotian like this, Lin Lao Wuyi patted his head and shouted excitedly-Aren't Go chess pieces just round button-like things? Wooden sticks are cut into rounds, sawn into thin slices of consistent thickness, and then painted with white and black paint to make a difference, except that the feel and appearance are not as good as real chess pieces, but it is enough to be a child's toy.
