Chapter 560 The Craftsmanship of a Carpenter

Don't worry about what he said. The key is to live here first. This is the most important thing, so he went to those who worked and asked for some guys. They had chisels, axes, and saws. He took these things with him, and talked with that guy. The boy returned to the storage room where he stored the broken stools.

Xiaolan followed him all the time. Xiaolan looked puzzled. After the boy assigned the work, he said to him, "I will give you three meals a day. I can't finish the work at night." , he led Li Kaiyang and the others to a room next to them to see that there was a bed inside and it was quite warm. He turned back and said to Xiaolan, "This girl can stay with our maid. "

He pointed to a row of houses opposite. The people who live there are all female subordinates, and of course they have to pass through a moon cave door. This door is not accessible casually. There is an old woman guarding it. It seems that the distinction between men and women is quite detailed.

Xiaolan thought that it would be more suitable for me to be with Li Kaiyang, but in this case, it would definitely not be justified if he was with Li Kaiyang, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I can go there at night, But during the day I have to serve our young master."

The boy didn't object, so he urged them to take action quickly. Li Kaiyang first arranged the tables, chairs and benches together, carefully studied which ones were missing legs and which ones had broken beams. After comparing them carefully, he began to cut the pieces of wood. In fact, these pieces of wood were almost close to finished products. Find a suitable one. He used a saw to cut it, and when the length and length ratio was right, he used a plane to push it and smoothed its surface. Then he used a mortise and tenon structure to connect the parts that should be connected together. These are all He had done it before, so his hands were smoother.

It was just such an exploration. In just a blink of an eye from morning to noon, he finished making a stool. The boy who was watching next to him picked up the stool he had made, put it under his butt and sat on it. He thought it was pretty good and praised him. His craftsmanship is really good. He was so much better than the carpenters in their own courtyard. This sentence reminded Li Kaiyang, and he asked: "Since you have carpenters here, why do you go outside to look for them?"

When the boy heard what he said, he quickly looked outside secretly, and then said mysteriously. "You, let me tell you, you have been deceived. I am not afraid of being discovered by them even if I say this."

Li Kaiyang was really shocked when he heard what he said. He didn't know what the inside story was, so he quickly asked: "I'm sorry to bother you, brother. Please tell me. If there is any major secret, I can only run away." ”

The young man seemed to still have a certain sense of justice, so he whispered to him, "I advise you, just leave as soon as you can repair a handful or two. You are not the only one who has come here to repair, there have been others before. They used you to jack up the tank, did you know that? We just lost a few good rosewood tables and chairs here. I was in charge and felt that I couldn't explain it, so I lied and said it was damaged. We hired a repairman from outside. The repair was in tatters again, so I beat up the outside repairman a few times and drove him out. It didn't take long, and something was lost again. This time, it was not only rosewood, but also huanghuali. This time There are more than a dozen tables and chairs missing. If you hold up this tank, I will give you a hundred slaps or even kill you. They think the life of a beggar outside is not worth a lot of money, so I say you In fact, he was just taken advantage of."

Li Kaiyang was really shocked when he heard this. He was still showing off his skills here, thinking that his skills were really good. It seemed that he was really fooled. Xiaolan standing next to him heard what he said. I know that this young man is really doing good for them, so I am extremely grateful.

Li Kaiyang said, "Thank you so much, brother. If you hadn't reminded us that we were really fooled, we would have left quickly."

So he wanted to touch a piece of silver from his arms and gave it to the boy, but after touching for a long time, he found that there was no suitable silver. He thought of Xiaolan again and asked Xiaolan if she had any silver in her arms. Xiaolan took out a few pieces of broken silver from her arms and gave them to the young man. The young man was not polite, weighed them in his hands, put them into his pocket and said, "I have revealed this to you." Information. It's very important. Don't sell me out. If you want to leave, tell me how many repairs you have done. There is an emergency at home and you must leave immediately. Don't say you don't want to repair or can't repair it. In this case Once you come out, it’s hard to say I’ll take your lives, so just say it. I think of something important at home, or my mother’s birthday, or a friend’s birthday, etc. Anyway, I mean to leave temporarily. If I leave you, don’t come back. ”

The boy had already told them the truth, and the two of them were about to leave. Li Kaiyang thought that he couldn't beat the fox and made a mess. This is really depressing, but fortunately the hole is not too big. It is not too late to make amends now. He said to the boy, "If we want to leave, who did we tell you this? He said that you should follow whoever comes in with you." Who said, I think he can still work in this aspect. How can you bribe me? You can also bribe him and send him away in two or five taels. He won't give it to you for this matter. For those of you who are competitive, if you can't finish cultivating this thing in ten or eight days here, and someone from above checks it and blames it on you, then you can think again and it will be too late to do anything.

Li Kaiyang did as he said. He first found the old family member and said that his situation had changed a bit. He told him that you can leave as soon as the old family member hears that. When you leave, just go out the same way. Okay, if someone stops you at the door, just say that the old family member who brought me in asked me to do this. Li Kaiyang was extremely grateful and took out five taels of silver to reward the old family member. He said I didn’t want it. I work as an errand here. Although I am not rich, I still have a minimum of ten or twenty taels of silver.

After hearing this, Li Kaiyang also felt that it was making people laugh. He wanted to give you a big ingot, but he also felt that it was unreasonable to give it to him after helping him for so long, so the two of them collected their luggage and prepared to leave, but at this time Something happened. The prince was preparing for a banquet. There was an urgent need for a few stools, so someone came here to look for them. Seeing how many stools he had repaired, Li Kaiyang gave them the ones he had repaired. When the man saw the stool he repaired, he thought it was very good. It was a little different from other stools, so he made some innovations and improvements. The man looked around with his stool and was full of praises, so he took him to the banquet. Not long after he came back, someone sent a message saying that he wanted to see him. Before Li Kaiyang left, he was called by someone above. In the past, he was a little overwhelmed and quickly discussed with Xiaolan how to deal with it. Xiaolan said: "It can't be that we were tricked, if that's the case. We were really framed by others. The two of them couldn't leave even if they wanted to, so they followed the boy who passed the message. When they arrived at the banquet hall, it was good. Their wish to see the prince did come true this time.

Although they could not pay homage to the prince up close in the banquet hall, they could still see the prince sitting in the Yinluan Hall from a distance. The prince was quite old and very impressive. There were several rows of tables and chairs on the left and right. The hundreds of people who came to his place for the banquet were probably the main local officials and squires, with the prince in the middle. The person who sent the message about his arrival was not the prince himself. Rather, he is a steward who takes charge. When the housekeeper saw him, he waved eagerly. He said to Li Kaiyang. "Where do you come from as a craftsman? You do a good job. Your stools are very popular with others and are very stable to sit on. We still have many stools in use here. They are all a little loose, and some people always say that they should not be used. I replaced it, but there was no spare one, so I had to invite you over. If there is something wrong with someone's stool, you should repair it and use the simplest method to make it comfortable for him to sit.

Li Kaiyang thought to himself, oh my god, didn’t you give me a difficult problem? Repair it on the spot. First of all, I don’t have such a fast method. It’s unreasonable to repair the stools in this banquet hall. Moreover, it takes a long time to repair just one chair. The butler gave him a big problem. He wanted to If I don't do it, I feel like I can't get over it. So he could only use an urgent move. This time he wanted to use his light energy power. There was a person whose stool was uneven at the corners and it was always unstable when he sat on it. He showed his lightsaber, smoothed out the other three edges and corners, and then sat on it. It was immediately stable. This person was full of praise and solved the problem for several people in turn. This was also a method that Li Kaiyang came up with in a hurry, but it worked wonders. There were hundreds of people in the banquet hall, and he cleared almost everyone's stools. This also attracted the attention of the prince. The prince waved him back and asked him what do you do? How come your craftsmanship is so good? Li Kaiyang was horrified. Standing in the center of the hall, he couldn't think of his stupid method. Even the prince appreciated it. He quickly walked over and kowtowed to the prince. Explained the situation. I was also very curious about what method he used to smooth out other kicks. Li Kaiyang couldn't hide it anymore. He showed his lightsaber and took a stool to do the experiment. The prince was shocked and gave him a thumbs up to praise him. It's terrible. At this moment, someone came to report to the prince. The imperial envoy who said that the emperor had issued an imperial edict arrived here, and Lao Wang hurriedly led the guests. After the rice paper official read the paper to welcome the guests, Li Kaiyang also knelt in the train. He could hear clearly. Ask them to quickly transport the incoming rosewood dragon bed to Beijing. Lao Wang finished butting his head and sent the imperial envoy away. The banquet ended in a hurry. Li Kaiyang also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to escape, but was stopped by the prince. He led Li Kaiyang and the others to visit the warehouse where the dragon bed was kept. This was just made by the craftsmen. Only then did Li Kaiyang know that It turns out that their island is rich in rosewood and huanghuali. These are extremely rare wood types on the mainland, but they are extremely abundant here. Therefore, it was the prince's main responsibility to pay tribute to the emperor these precious palace furniture. When the door of the warehouse was opened, a dragon bed carved with dragons and phoenixes was displayed in front of him. He pointed to Li Kaiyang and said, "Look Have you seen it? This is what our craftsmen have crafted, and it took them three years to craft it."

Li Kaiyang walked over and touched the artwork and the exquisite dragon bed with his hands. He felt really breathtaking. The carving work was meticulous in detailing every scale, and even the phoenix's hair was carved so clearly and lifelike. The bed is neither too big nor too small, and is perfect to the extreme according to the physiological dimensions of a person's height. The main thing is the smell of sandalwood, which is refreshing. He didn't expect that the emperor could enjoy such high-level treatment.

For ordinary people, this means bankrupting everything. It was also impossible to sleep on a bed. To the emperor, this was just an ordinary item. The old prince pointed to the bed and said to Li Kaiyang, "Your craftsmanship is good. You can stay with me to build this kind of bed with them. Your skills are not simple. They can use a carving knife, but you can use the light directly." I think it takes much less effort to carve with a sword than they do. Oh my God, if you think so, I will use my lightsaber to carve the pattern on the bed for you. First of all, I won’t do it again. It’s such a waste. Don’t think they use hammers. Using a chisel is a laborious task. If I draw a lightsaber, it will consume energy. But he can't contradict the old prince in person. He just said humbly. "I can do such a detailed job even if I do rough work. I It's really overwhelming. "

The old prince disapproved and directly reassured him, "Don't be humble and work hard here. What I lack most here is carpentry. If you do it well, I will reward you heavily. Those who want to come here will be rewarded." It’s not available yet, but you should feel lucky to be here. This bed is already. It’s ready. It needs to be packed and shipped away starting today.”

When Li Kaiyang came over, the old prince asked him to visit. It was an eye-opener for him to see such exquisite handicrafts. The old prince took him to visit the magical sandalwood processing products. Then he was told to arrange for him to live here permanently.

Suddenly someone came to report to the prince. I said that there are a lot of pear rosewood and sandalwood benches missing recently. When the prince heard this, he became furious and asked who was in charge of the treasury? It was lost and a thorough investigation was carried out. The manager's eyes flickered. "There are quite a lot of these tables, chairs and benches. They are all damaged and stored in the warehouse. This master was not invited to repair them. He must have been repaired badly. The deaf people became mute and the damaged stools were scrapped by him. In this way, , the number doesn’t match up, it’s much less.”

This old king also doesn't like gold and silver. On the contrary, I regard this piece of broken wood as my lifeblood, mainly because the raw material is too precious. Every stool he bought was bought in the thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, so losing several in a row was a big deal to him.

Lao Wang also heard their explanation, and his anger subsided a lot at that time. Until the craftsmen are in the process of making and repairing. There will inevitably be damage. So the anger that arose gradually disappeared.
