Chapter 77: Carpentry and Bricklayer

After determining the plan, the master carpenter went to the master bricklayer to discuss the location and size of the doors and windows.

There are three large rooms in total, the two sides are divided into two small rooms in the front and back, and there is a granary behind the main hall in the middle, which is exactly the same size as Captain Yang's house, but the kitchen and pigsty are placed in the backyard.

There are two large doors in the front, a small door in the back, and four more doors, and one window in each of the other four rooms, and a windshield on the top of the main door of the hall.

Then there are all kinds of door frames, wooden lintels, roof beams, wooden columns, just to build a house needs a lot of wood, Huang Laosi also ordered a few sets of furniture, these things have to be built in just three or four days.

So after the communication was clear, the three master carpenters began to get busy nervously.

Just like Captain Yang's family killing pigs that day, there are naturally small workers in the village to help with the lifting, and the carpenter is responsible for technical work.

In fact, it is also the characteristic of this era, the master does not do rough work, and he is not willing to add money. The helpers are responsible for all the chores, and they only do the most technical part.

It would take a few years to see that the situation had changed, and all of this work could be done by private individuals.

In order to take on more work and make more money, the master at that time became "omnipotent".

Those who kill pigs don't need to be tied up with help, and some people can level the pigs, at most with an apprentice or helper.

Carpenters no longer sit firmly on the fishing platform, from going to the woods to select materials, cutting, to concocting wood, and then dragging them to their own homes to cut them one by one, creating furniture according to customers' requirements, and then delivering them to people's homes.

Even a craftsman like Master Liu will no longer ask the master to help prepare, but take four or five cooks to do everything, and some even bring dishes and plates.

Instead of being like now, everything has to be prepared by the owner's family, the venue belongs to others, and the helpers are also people's, so they bring a set of tools to the door.

The wood was carried to the edge of the field, and Huang Laosi found a few wide benches and brought two large square tables.

The master carpenter set out the tools, and counted the adzes, saws, chisels, planers, drills, several rulers, ink fountains, axes, and hammers, and began to work.

First, sawed a few sections of wood to make a "wooden horse", which is a bracket used to clean up the big materials, and then nailed a "pan nail" to the bench.

After that, a three-meter-long wooden piece of wood with the thickness of a sea bowl was pulled onto the wooden horse and erected, and the master carpenter pulled the tape measure to measure the size, then took a ruler and a pencil to draw a few lines on the cross-section, and then used the ink cartridge to pull the line, popping a black line on the trunk, and then picked up the big saw to start work.

Crunch crunch ......

There are no power tools, all by hand, and the wiring is slightly crooked, and a piece of wood may be wasted, so there is no sloppiness at all.

Little by little, the wood is split into long, boxy strips or chips, which are then sawn into slabs of various sizes according to their dimensions.

Some also need to be smoothed with a planer, and the wooden strips are stuck on the pan nails of the bench, and the wooden stripes do not move at all when planing, and they reach out and touch them after planing, and there are basically no wooden thorns.

Chen Fan squatted aside, watching intently.

Master carpenter turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile, "Master Chen is still interested in carpentry?" ”

Chen Fan raised his head to look at him and asked with a surprised face, "Do you know me?" ”

He'd been following them ever since the master carpenter came, and I'm sure no one had introduced himself to them.

How do they know themselves?

The master carpenter laughed and said, "We are the members of the 4th team, you went to our team to teach how to kill soft-shelled turtles, I was there at the time, of course I recognized you." ”

Chen Fan's eyes widened and he smiled, "Really? Such a coincidence? ”

The other person turned to look at him, smiled and said loudly, "It's not a coincidence, our construction team is all from Lujiawan." ”

After a pause, he explained while busy with the work at hand, "That is, Master Chen, you are late, and it is not clear." In the 70s, the Lujiawan brigade set up a sideline team, which is actually a construction team, because the construction team does not need capital, and you can start work with your own tools.

At that time, we made a great contribution, the whole Nanhu Commune was the best in our craft, the masters all worked in the house of the rich man Lu back then, and other teams could not compare with us, from the commune to the county seat, we earned thousands of yuan a year for the brigade.

As a result, in 74, the commune wanted to set up a construction company, and we were immediately co-opted, but we were comfortable, and we became regular workers, and we received a salary of dozens of yuan a month, but the brigade suffered some losses and lost a lot of income.

Later, on the basis of our construction team, several other brigades were absorbed, as well as a few bricklayers and carpenters from the commune, and two more teams were formed.

However, it is still our 1st squad that has the most things, under normal circumstances, we are running at the entrance of each unit, and we do not take over the work of building private houses, which is the business of the 2nd team and the 3rd team, and this is Lujiawan, and the villagers came to help. ”

The words are full of pride.

The other carpenters and bricklayers also laughed when they heard this, and none of them refuted it.

Even the members of Team 6 are proud of it.

For this kind of person who attaches importance to collective honor at a glance, Chen Fan naturally picked up good words, and mingled with them after a while.

After that, Chen Fan deliberately introduced the craftsmanship.

How to choose wood, how to cut it, how to concoct it, how to design furniture, how to save effort by pulling a large saw......

After chatting here, I went to the master bricklayer to chat, and I was very busy.

Because just now, Chen Fan suddenly activated two more skills, one "carpenter" and one "bricklayer".

This made him feel very magical, yesterday in the brigade headquarters, he was so active in repairing the radio machine, in addition to winning the favor of several leaders, there was also a little selfishness, that is, to see if he could activate the skill of electrical repair?

The result made him very disappointed, maybe it was because two screws were not considered to repair electrical appliances, and he was not recognized by the skill board, and there was no reaction at the last bit.

On the contrary, I watched the excitement on the side for a while today, and even added the "carpenter" and "bricklayer" skill bars at the same time.

At the beginning, these two skills were still poor LV1, and the experience points were only one or two.

But as he humbly consulted these experienced masters, he was promoted to LV2 in a short time.

So he is looking forward to it now, and when this house is built, I don't know if he can rise to LV3?

If you can, then you can also be regarded as having a craft, not to mention going outside to work as an "engineering team" in the future, at least when there is a little problem at home, you don't have to look for people everywhere.

If it's possible, when you find a way to brush back your electrician skills, then you will be a construction team, which is amazing!

Just when Chen Fan was dreaming, someone next to him finally shouted, "Master Chen, everything is ready, excuse me." ”

Chen Fan hurriedly stood up, "It's coming, it's coming." ”
