Chapter 100: Burning the Canoe

"Two dogs!"

"Where's Ergou!?"

"Hurry up, Xiucai Gong asks you!"

Ma Gao shouted loudly, as soon as the words fell, a big man like a black iron tower walked out of the crowd, Wang Tian asked himself that one meter and eight is tall and strong enough, but compared with the person called Ergou in front of him, it is still a head worse, as for the body board is twice as small, I have heard people say that someone's body looks like a door panel and I don't believe it, but now there is one in front of me.

"Xiucaigong, Ergou is a carpenter in our village, and he knows best what trees are on the nearby mountains. ”

Ma Gao stood beside Wang Tian and explained in a low voice.

Wang Tian was relieved when he heard that there was a carpenter, no matter what the craftsmanship was, no matter how bad it was, he was a professional, so he could just move his fingers on the side.

"Ergou, I'm looking for a dry wood, the thicker the better, I don't know if there's one around here?"

Wang Tian stretched out his hand and gestured at the size.

"Yes, not long ago, a tree fell a few years ago, it was very large, and I put it up to dry, thinking that one day it would be necessary to move it back, and it should still be there. ”

When Ergou spoke, he bent down and lowered his head, with a look of awe on his face, the patriarch said that the young man in front of him was a showman, which was a terrible thing, that was a mortal Wenqu star in the sky, and a rough person like himself would not dare to raise his head to look.

"Great!"

"Take me to see it!"

Wang Tian clapped his hands happily.

When Ergou heard this, he hurriedly turned around and led the way, and Wang Tian, Ma Gao, and a group of people followed.

"Xiucai Gong wants to build a ship? Isn't Xiucai Gong studying?

"What do you know!? Xiucai knows astronomy and geography, what's so difficult about building a boat?"

"Let's go!"

"Xiucaigong's ability is great!"

......

Wang Tian ignored the discussion behind him, isn't it just a canoe, it's a trivial matter, there is no problem.

The place where the second dog said is not far, and after walking for a while, I arrived at it, only to see a piece of wood from the boss, a person absolutely can't hold it, the diameter is estimated to be more than one meter five, about four or five meters long, both ends have been cut off and the front is padded with bluestone to dry.

Wang Tian walked over, picked up a stone and smashed it a few times, listening to the sound very solid, knowing that the wood was very well preserved, and there was no rot or anything.

"Xiu Caigong, what are you going to do next?"

Ma Gao stood beside Wang Tian, he really couldn't think of what to do.

"It's simple, just hollow out the middle of the wood, so that the boat can float. ”

Wang Tian waved his hand, the wood in front of him is definitely a good material for making a canoe, it is big enough and it seems that the wood is hard enough, so that it will not be permeable, it is very suitable.

"Ergou, can you hollow it out?"

Ma Gao turned his head to look at Ergou, as soon as Wang Tian said this, he immediately understood how to do it, and now it depends on whether the potato dog can do it.

"This ...... This one...... I do...... Can't do it......"

Ergou's face turned red, and his head was lowered, not daring to look at people.

"How can it not be done? Isn't it just hollowing out the inside of this wooden pillar?"

Ma Gao was anxious when he heard this, and shouted loudly.

"This wood...... The wood was too hard, and I used to chop it with a big axe for half a month. ”

"It's even more difficult to hollow out this now, I don't think you can do this job for a year and a half, not to mention that you don't have the tools to take advantage of it now. ”

......

Ma Gao was dumbfounded, he understood what Ergou said, this job can't be done, even if it is done, it will take a long time, and the boat has already been bought back at this time.

"Xiucai Gong, it seems that this boat can't be made, and the tools of the second dog are all in the village. ”

Ma Gao has no choice, Ergou is the most famous carpenter within a radius of dozens of miles, he said that if he can't do this job, he can't do it.

"It's not difficult, and you don't need any tools, just do what I say. ”

Wang Tian laughed and waved his hand.

"First go find some wood and make a fire. ”

"The bigger the fire, the better, you have to burn the charcoal, and I want a lot of charcoal.

......

There are many people who are easy to do, not to mention that the identity of Wang Tianxiu and the identity of the patriarch of Ma Gao have strong appeal, and after a while, a large pile of firewood was picked up, and the fire also burned, and after half an hour, large pieces of charcoal appeared one after another.

Wang Tian instructed Ergou and others to pile the burned charcoal on the big wood, this method is actually very simple, that is, the fire of the charcoal burns the middle of the giant wood, so that it can be made into a canoe, it is difficult to use a knife to chop the axe, but it is different with fire, as long as it is controlled well and does not burn through, the speed will be very fast.

"Xiucai Gong!"

"It's fast!"

"Half a day is enough for me to watch!"

Ergou is a carpenter after all, he knows what is going on as soon as he sees Wang Tian doing this, as a professional, it is not a problem to estimate the time it will take.

"Good!"

"Great!"

"Xiucai Gong!"

"You're amazing!"

Ma Gao was very happy that he could do it in half a day, so that the whole village would have another boat.

"The boat made by this method can only be used for emergencies. Wang Tian shook his head, "You still have to buy the boat that should be bought, and you can use this to deal with it before the new ship is bought!"

"Yes, yes. Xiucaigong, don't worry, I will arrange this matter!"

Ma Gao nodded hurriedly, although he is the patriarch of Shangshui Village, Wang Tian is a showman, which looks like the status of a scholar is very high, and he must also be obedient.

Wang Tian saw that Ergou already knew how to burn a canoe, and it was useless for him to stay, and he couldn't cross the river to see his paddy fields for the time being, so he simply made an excuse to go to the town to see his house, and then quit the system, in reality, he still had a lot of things to deal with, and there was no need to waste time in this place.

Wang Tian slept until dawn, then got up to eat breakfast, and after eating, he went to Song Yun's calligraphy and painting studio to continue to copy the "Diamond Sutra", his current life is very peaceful, life is almost three points and one line, however, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, his life is very peaceful, it does not mean that others are also generally calm, at least one person, now at this time is absolutely calm, that is Shi Zhu, he is now in the Hongwen Pavilion to greet guests.

"Brother Kong Zhiqiang, you are here, sit inside. ”

"Zhang Yuan, I'm really sorry to call you early in the morning. ”

"Wang Wen, come on, come on, sit inside, drink some tea first!"

......

Shi Zhu stood at the door, smiling all over his face, greeting the people who came one by one, if someone who was familiar with the Ninghua calligraphy and painting circle saw these people, he would know that they were all famous and surnamed masters, and their combined words almost monopolized the calligraphy and painting trade in the entire Ninghua City.
