Carpenter Li from Lugangling Village used a donkey cart to pull a cart of boards.

"There is also this small iron pot that the blacksmith made for you. According to your request, an iron handle was welded on one side. The hammer and ax were brought together. The next load of boards will have to wait for a while. I have it in my hand.

There are no ready-made nails. The blacksmith’s house doesn’t have the foreign nails you want. I went to the Yuan Shengqing Department Store in the city to buy them. They are the only ones that have foreign products.”

Carpenter Li has a very distinctive appearance, with a square face and a slightly rounded face.

Zhao Chuanxin paid all the money readily.

Looking at the silver dollar in his hand, Carpenter Li was a little stunned.

It’s not easy for anyone these days. When people in the village build something, they usually use it to barter. For example, chickens, ducks, geese, eggs, cloth, game from the mountains, etc. Some villagers also bring baskets of eggs and

Half a coin.

Only Zhao Chuanxin paid with silver dollars.

Suddenly, he had several silver dollars in hand, and Carpenter Li's heart beat faster. This is probably the legendary "wealth and silk move people's hearts".

If other people in the village come to him for work, he will usually put on airs.

But after seeing the silver dollar, Carpenter Li bent down uncontrollably: "Thank you very much."

"You're welcome. The boards must be in accordance with the specifications to ensure quality and quantity."

"That must be that must be..."

This happened after Zhao Chuanxin held a small meeting with Zhao Zhongyi and Liu Baobao to discuss how to deal with Daozi.

Zhao Chuanxin liked to pretend since he was a child. When he grew up, as his aesthetics improved, he galloped on the road of pretending.

The homes of later generations were designed and decorated by him himself.

The children have all gone home to eat.

Now only Zhao Chuanxin and Ganfan are here.

He has confirmed that although he can have the most direct communication with Gan Fan, at Gan Fan's age, he is an idiot in terms of IQ.

One moment he was "barking" at a grasshopper, and Zhao Chuanxin asked him to stop making noise. The grasshopper just replied "OK" and continued to bark the next moment.

After all, even if it is a human baby, can you expect it to have a high IQ?

The boards come in several specifications according to his requirements, some are long or short, some are thick or thin.

He picked up a piece of board, attached another piece to it as a ruler, and took out the elf carving knife and scratched it.

The silky feeling arises spontaneously, and the place it cuts is like a flying blade in the novel The Three-Body Problem, which can reach nano-level cutting level.

Seeing the wooden board being cut into the shape of a ruler, the elf carving knife once again refreshed Zhao Chuanxin's understanding.

This thing is faster than electric "band saws" and "chain saws".

The telescopic limit of the elf carving knife's head is 5 centimeters. For thicknesses within 5 centimeters, cutting wood is no more difficult than cutting a piece of tofu.

Imagine using a pencil to draw a line on wood. When you draw it, the wood breaks. What a concept!

Blocked my old baby!

Zhao Chuanxin continued to use wooden boards to make mats, and compared the thickness with the ruler, he scratched it with the elf carving knife. Both sides of the ruler at right angles were crossed, and the ruler became worthy of its name, and the thickness was just right.

He measured with a ruler and cut out a few boards.

Cut the board and start drawing lines and dovetailing.

Zhao Chuanxin had studied the mortise and tenon structure before. After studying it for a period of time, he finally learned how to use dovetail tenons to make boxes. There are still a large number of netizens who are making 666 public screens.

Not for anything else, but because Zhao Chuanxin only used an electric trimmer to make the dovetailed wooden box, which really frightened a group of people.

In fact, this thing looks powerful, but it is actually very simple.

The elf carving knife is sharp, but its sharpness is not omnipotent.

At least, when making dovetails, it is far less easy than using an edge trimmer.

Dovetail tenons were made in batches, and it took more than half an hour to complete. This was already considered slow for him.

Before it got dark, he took a mallet and hammered in the dovetails and made them fit properly.

The wooden box has only five sides, and Zhao Chuanxin dug out a simple deer pattern on the bottom board.

A total of two boxes were made, but any more would be useless.

After doing this, it will be dark.

Liu Guogui came and asked Zhao Chuanxin to go to dinner.

The stove at his house didn't turn on, so he had to eat and drink first.

But I didn’t go to Zhao Zhongyi’s house today. After all, no one has much leftover food, but if you are trying to pluck wool from a sheep, you will go bald.

Liu Guogui saw the wooden boards piled up in front of the door, and not far away there was a pile of sand and yellow mud. He was completely confused.

"Did you do all this today?"

"Yes."

"How did you do it?"

"In exchange for sugar balls."

"..."

Even though these children are not very big, the youngest is still wearing crotchless pants.

But there are so many of them, more than twenty children, stimulated by the candy balls, are rushing to work.

After dinner, the three of them gathered in front of Zhao Zhongyi's house.

Zhao Zhongyi's mother-in-law leaned against the doorframe, tears welling up in her eyes.

Liu Guoguo was carrying a rusty hatchet, and hey, it was another enchanted tetanus blade!

Zhao Zhongyi's weapon is relatively long, and the ash wood in the yard has the gun tip attached to it. I don't know where the gun tip is usually hidden.

The two looked at Zhao Chuanxin: "You don't have anything to do?"

"Um..."

Zhao Chuanxin took out the elf carving knife from his arms. It was a carving knife that was a little longer than a palm.

The veins on Liu Guogui's forehead were beating: "That's it?"

A little embarrassed, a little stunned, Zhao Chuanxin patted the devil's vine on his waist: "There's more here!"

Liu Baoguo became even more angry: "How about you take a toothpick and a bundle of rope to fight the pig?"

What can I say?

Zhao Chuanxin patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be impatient and don't worry about these minutiae. There is a saying that a true man does not stick to trivial matters!"

Liu Guoguo was trembling with anger: "Just do it, I'm afraid I'll be tricked to death by you!"

Zhao Zhongyi is a kind person after all. Although he frowned, he did not blame him.

"Okay, you two just need to play drums on the side, and the rest is my own business."

He was carrying a spear, and a sense of heroism arose spontaneously.

Zhao Chuanxin couldn't help but take a look, feeling that he had gotten to know his great ancestor again.

Zhao Zhongyi looked back at the woman at the door and turned his head resolutely.

The figures of the three people were submerged in the night of Lugangling Village.

……

Three people squatted in the deep grass beside the road, and the dew in the night wet their clothes.

Fortunately, the weather is not too cold yet.

Liu Baobao whispered: "It's hard to predict whether we will live or die today. It's a pity that I haven't tasted the taste of a woman yet."

Zhao Chuanxin's palms holding the Devil's Vine were sticky and sweaty from nervousness.

Growing up, he had never fought with anyone, and he basically always outsmarted anyone in any situation.

Fighting to the death with someone, this is the first time for a big girl to get on the sedan chair.

If he hadn't known the direction of history and how ferocious those gangsters were, he would have felt like Zhao Zhongyi and Liu Guigui did before, thinking that this matter was still open for discussion and would not have directly thought of fighting for it.

But he still comforted and said: "Don't panic. First of all, even if we try our best, we may not die. This is the case in the world. Some people are busy living, some are busy dying, and some are surviving death! Moreover, even if they want to take action, they will not die.

It may not happen tonight, we are just taking precautions before it happens."

The only one here whose face remains unchanged and whose hands don't tremble is Zhao Zhongyi.

He half-squinted his eyes, seeming to be concentrating. The spear was propped up casually on his knees, keeping it easily accessible at any time.

Liu Guoguo gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to die, so I'll just say a few words from my heart.

Loyalty, you know that the little widow, the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Zhang’s family, is actually a little interested in you."

Zhao Zhongyi was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head.
