Li Mingyi looked at the old man in front of him, and at first glance, he felt that this old man was a technocracy. And the technology is definitely not bad, after all, in appearance, the old man has all the characteristics of the technical school.

The old man asked Li Mingyi where he got this thing, and Li Mingyi replied truthfully: "It was given to me by a carpenter who set up a stall." ”

The old man was a little excited, and then asked, "Where is the carpenter setting up his stall?" ”

Li Mingyi said: "I met him in Yuyang more than two months ago, and now he must have left Yuyang. I don't know where he went. I want to find him too. Does this old master know his whereabouts? ”

The old man shook his head, sighed helplessly, and said, "If I knew his whereabouts, I wouldn't have asked Gongzi." ”

Li Mingyi didn't have too many expectations for the old man to know Lu Mutou's whereabouts, and when he saw that he didn't know, he wasn't too disappointed.

He asked, "I wonder if this master can copy this bracer?" ”

The old man came back to his senses and said, "Childe doesn't need to call me master. Just call me Lu Youfang. It's not that hard to replicate this bracer. ”

When Li Mingyi heard this, his eyes lit up a little, and he hurriedly asked, "Then Master Lu may untie the wooden thorns in this bracer?" ”

"I can't."

This old man is playing with me? This was Li Mingyi's first reaction. But when you think about it, this is probably the case with this technocracy. He didn't speak at the moment, just looked at the old man with a puzzled look.

Seeing this, Lu Youfang explained: "This bracer is actually not difficult, and many carpenters who have graduated from the school can make it. But the wooden spikes of this bracer are difficult to imitate. The spike appears to be a single unit, but it is actually made of three different materials. ”

Li Mingyi listened patiently and did not speak. Lu Youfang continued to explain: "There is an extremely thin iron needle hidden at the front end of this wooden thorn. It's not that I'm talking big, but there are no more than three people in this world who can make an iron needle so thin without losing its shape. The middle section is made of mahogany, and it is a different kind of wood from the gloomy wood at the back. After entering the human body, the gap between the peach wood and the gloomy wood will widen due to the temperature change. ...... like this"

Li Mingyi was simply confused when he heard this, and seeing that the old man was more and more fascinated by the technology, he quickly interrupted: "Master Lu, let me tell you the truth." I'm not trying to make a copy of any bracers. It's just that my friend accidentally got hit by this wooden thorn and wants to take him out, do you have a way? ”

Master Lu didn't answer immediately, but said to Li Mingyi: "I need to study the structure of this wooden thorn first, I don't know if Gongzi can let him disassemble it." ”

How can this not be agreed, Li Mingyi said: "Master Lu disassemble it." It's okay if it's broken. ”

Seeing that Li Mingyi agreed, Lu Youfang immediately smiled. It's like a child getting a toy. He said, "Please come back with me." ”

Li Mingyi did not doubt him, and followed Lu Youfang to the workshop behind the store. The various goods outside the store are neatly arranged, but in this workshop, it looks a little cluttered. All kinds of tools and semi-finished products that Li Mingyi has seen and has never seen are everywhere.

Lu Youfang asked Li Mingyi to stand for a while, after all, there was no place to sit. He himself fetched a few planks and a small kerosene lamp. He took a wooden thorn from his bracer, placed it on the fire, and took less than a breath before removing it.

Li Mingyi saw his fingers move lightly, and then removed the back end of the wooden thorn. Li Mingyi saw an extremely small hole behind the wooden thorn. If you don't look closely, you won't be able to find out.

Looking at the hole in front of him, Lu Youfang shook his head and said, "It seems that unless that person makes a move, no one should be able to untie this wooden thorn." ”

Li Mingyi was a little unconvinced, and asked, "Isn't Lu Gongtang okay?" ”

Lu Youfang thought for a while and said, "This hole is so small, it is conceivable that the needle inside will be as thin as a hair." And in this hair-like place, the man was also injected with Western Regions gelatin. When gelatin comes into contact with air, it expands when heated, and the hair-thin wire is driven into the human body. ”

"Then if the hole is sealed, won't the gelatin not swell?"

Lu Youfang said: "If the hole is sealed, the gelatin will continue to expand because of the air in the hole." At that time, the hair needle will be injected into the human body faster because of the air. ”

Li Mingyi asked, "How to solve it?" ”

Lu Youfang replied: "The solution is actually very simple, just find a wire that can enter the hole, tie a magnet to one end, carefully puncture the gelatin, and suck out the hair needle." ”

Hearing this, Li Mingyi hurriedly said, "It's so simple? ”

Lu Youfang said: "Childe, can you know, besides that person, who can do such a thin hair needle?" ”

Li Mingyi looked at him with strange eyes, pointed to the wooden thorn and said, "Isn't there one in that wooden thorn?" ”

Lu Youfang said angrily: "Childe, you know, the depth of this hole is more than three times that of this hair needle. How can I take this needle to get another needle. ”

At this moment, Li Mingyi was completely disappointed, but he still didn't want to give up, and asked, "I wonder if anyone in Lu Gongtang can make such a thin hair needle?" ”

Lu Youfang flashed several characters in his heart, all of which he vetoed one by one, until he thought of one person, and he said: "There is one person who may be able to do it when he is young." It's just that at this time, he is already over the age of old, and he doesn't know if he can make it again. ”

At this time, where else could Li Mingyi do, and he could only use a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and asked, "Does Master Lu know where that person is now?" ”

Lu Youfang replied: "This person no longer asks about the world, but he will go to the Hundred Crafts Banquet in the next two days." ”

"Hundred Crafts Banquet?" Hearing this name again, Li Mingyi couldn't help but pay attention and asked, "What is the Hundred Crafts Banquet?" ”

Lu Youfang said: "It's a gathering of our group of craftsmen. It is held every five years. Each time, a person of high moral standing and excellent skills will be elected to be the leader of the hundred workers. The man I'm talking about is the leader of the last generation. ”

Li Mingyi asked: "Then what are the requirements for participating in this hundred labor banquets?" ”

Lu Youfang said: "That's not true, this year's Hundred Workers Banquet was held by Lu Gongtang, in this city that never sleeps." The hall master said that as long as you can take out a piece of utensils made by yourself, you can participate in the Hundred Crafts Banquet. ”

"Anything?"

Lu Youfang said: "It's not all utensils. It must be something that embodies the skill of the craftsman. Ordinary tables, chairs and benches are not good. If Childe wants to go, he can go with this bracer. This year's Hundred Crafts Banquet will not be as strict as in previous years. ”

When Li Mingyi left Lu Gongtang, it was already past noon. After asking the address of the Ming Hundred Crafts Banquet, he said goodbye to Lu Youfang and left. Whether or not to participate in the Hundred Crafts Banquet, he still needs to discuss it with Han Liuyun's master and apprentice. After all, it was Han Liuyun who was injured at this time, not Li Mingyi.
