He Yushui screamed in anger.
"Brother! You're my brother! You're pushing me to an old widower with a child?”
After screaming, she suddenly shivered and frowned.
He Yuzhu smiled at her.
Only then did He Yushui realize that his reaction was half a beat slower.
She looked down on an old widower with a child, so how could her brother look up to a pretty widow with three children?
Of course not!
Three seconds later, He Yushui blushed and quickly apologized.
"I'm sorry, brother. I didn't think too much about it. Although Sister Qin is good, you should still treat her as your sister. It was indeed inappropriate to call her sister-in-law. It was really inappropriate.”
Only then did He Yuzhu feel at ease.
The siblings looked at each other and laughed. The more they laughed, the happier they became. They even laughed until they cried.
In the hall, the carpenter master and apprentice heard the two of them laughing so hard that they felt goosebumps.
"Don't look! Don't ask! I'll get a needle in my eyes if I look at it!"
……
After teasing He Yushui, He Yuzhu went to see how the carpentry was doing.
"Master, this is too slow. I haven't even made a leg for a long time.”
The carpenter was unhappy.
"Why? The bench has to be used one leg at a time. You can go to Desheng Gate and ask. It takes two to three weeks for other people to do 36 legs. You need at least a month and a half to get rid of these 72 legs.”
He Yuzhu was so angry that he laughed. At dusk, the old carpenter had said that it would take a month. It had only been a short while, but now he was talking nonsense and stretching it to one and a half months. He was freeloading on his own family's food and accommodation, slacking off while doing part-time work for others during the day.
"Alright, Master. According to what you said, this leg will have to be beaten until tomorrow afternoon, and a bench will have to be beaten for three to five days?”
"Yes."
"That won't do. This is too slow."
"If it doesn't work, you can fight yourself. Find someone else!”
He Yuzhu was angry and amused at the same time. This carpenter master and apprentice had blackmailed him. They liked his house and had a lot of food, so they wanted to stay for a while longer.
"Master, if I can get the stool out tonight, what do you think I should do?”
"Tonight? You're a layman who hasn't even touched a hammer before. How can you hit a stool?”
The old carpenter narrowed his eyes and smoked his peony cigarette. He sat down and did not want to leave.
The acolyte laughed.
"Master He, my master is the most famous carpenter in 49 City. You can ask around in every house. There are too many people waiting to hire my master.”
He Yuzhu muttered in his heart.
It's precisely because your master is so popular that he takes on many odd jobs during the day that he's staying in a place for a long time. Old Carpenter, Old Carpenter, he had become an old sticky candy.
He Yuzhu weighed the hammer in his hand.
"Aiyo, it's quite heavy."
The old carpenter smiled.
The acolyte was also amused.
"Isn't it heavy?"
"Master He, don't even mention hitting a stool. If you can hit a leg, my disciple will learn from you.”
the old carpenter said.
He Yuzhu said.
"What do I want your disciple for? She's not a big girl. Old Master, are you going to learn from me?”
The old carpenter laughed and teased.
"If you want me to learn from you, this stool won't do. I need at least three stools.”
"Alright."
After saying that, He Yuzhu focused on his bench legs.
The carpenter and the apprentice looked at each other and laughed mockingly in their hearts. This He Yuzhu really got the hang of it. It was really a fantasy for a layman to beat a big wooden item.
"Don't worry about it. He bought the wood himself.”
……
To the old carpenter's surprise, not only did He Yuzhu get the hang of it, but he also hit it steadily.
A minute later, He Yuzhu increased the speed at which he forged the wooden items.
Master Carpenter Skill, activated!
Drawing lines, cleaning materials, assembling boards, slotting with wood cutter, drilling and slotting, shaping, assembling and adjusting, cleaning and polishing...
Whoosh!
He Yuzhu's movements were skillful and smooth. The right angle was precise, and the ink line was drawn in one go. The beech wood was as obedient as a piece of paper in his hands.
He explained as he installed the mortise and tenon.
"When drilling the mortise and tenon holes, you have to drill them diagonally and connect them on both sides. You can't drill them directly on one side.”
"After assembling, cut off the exposed tenon and smooth it out.”
"You must put glue in it. Fish bladder glue is the most durable. Many people felt that traditional carpentry shouldn't use glue and nails, which was really wrong. No matter what kind of connection structure was used in traditional carpentry, fish bladder glue had to be added to make it strong.”
Pa!
The last piece of beech wood was embedded and polished.
After the smooth forging process, the beech bench was so beautiful that it had a wooden luster and a faint fragrance of wood grain.
The air was quiet.
The old carpenter's eyes widened in shock.
The acolyte was so shocked that his mouth was wide open.
He was still quickly taking notes in his hand as he said in admiration,"There's actually a dark fragrance! This way, the original fragrance of the polished wood would not be lost, and the color would be better!”
"He's really amazing!"
The apprentice quickly took notes, never so serious before.
The old carpenter snorted in anger.
"You're a martial artist, yet you still pretend to be a layman. With Master He's craftsmanship, he must have polished it in the workshop many times. What's a bench for a night?”
The old carpenter found a way out.
He Yuzhu continued to pick up the beech wood. This time, he handed the wood to the apprentice.
"What are you waiting for? Give me a hand."
"Polishing it, right! This was hard work, and young people were the best at it.”
The old carpenter was even more shocked.
In just half an hour, He Yuzhu polished two beech benches that emitted a faint fragrance and two round boards that were large enough.
Not long after, two round boards gradually took shape. They were actually the table boards of the big wooden table!
The acolyte said excitedly.
"I've never seen such a strange wooden table.”
"Master He, what kind of wooden table are you going to hit?”
He Yuzhu said.
"Have you seen a revolving wooden table before? It's the kind of revolving table that Old Mo's restaurant uses to entertain guests.”
The old carpenter was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
Old Mo's Restaurant was a high-end Western restaurant. He had never been there in his life. What was a revolving wooden table? He had vaguely heard of it before, but even his master, his master's master, did not know how to polish it.
Drawing lines, cleaning materials, assembling boards, slotting with wood cutter, drilling and slotting, shaping, assembling and adjusting…
He Yuzhu displayed his master-level carpentry skills and even carved flowers on the legs of the beech table.
Carved and painted peony and wooden flowers, hundreds of birds contend.
The carving skills were exquisite, and the flowers and birds were lifelike. It was so beautiful that it was suffocating.
Whoosh!
He Yuzhu quickly assembled the beech planks and installed the rotating wooden axis.
The rotating beech round table was completed.
It was a large round table with two layers of tables that could rotate back and forth. The legs of the table were even more exquisite and gorgeous. The flowers and birds were beautiful and lifelike. The birds seemed to be able to fly out of the wood carvings.
When the big wooden table was finished, it was time to sleep. Only two hours had passed by the clock.
The room was dead silent.
The old carpenter was so shocked that he exploded.
The acolyte's eyes sparkled as he knelt down and kowtowed.
"Master He!"
"Master He! Your carving and carpentry skills will take decades to polish, and you're taking me in as your disciple!”
"I want to learn carving and carpentry from you! Your craftsmanship is definitely the best in the city!”
He Yuzhu didn't look at the apprentice but stared at the old carpenter.
"Master, do you still keep your promise?”
The old carpenter's body stiffened and he was dumbfounded.
