Reborn Little Carpenter

Qi Zirui was born on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, so on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Qi family held Qi Zirui's full moon banquet and Qi Xiaolei's apprentice banquet, as well as the relatives who came to pay New Year's greetings on this day, and they were busy until dark .

In the morning of the next day, Qi Quansheng called him to his house again and said that he had something to discuss with him. When Qi Yue arrived, he saw that most of the men in the house were there, which made him confused. What's the big deal about the Chinese New Year?

Qi Yue sat aside, and when everyone came, Qi Youfeng began to talk, two things, one is to go to business this year, and those people are going north.

Last year they took a road to the north, which should be easier according to reason, but today his family earns a little too much, and the momentum is too strong, which will definitely attract people's envy. This time going north, not only to prevent emergencies , You have to guard against villains.

Qi Youzhuang was the first to express his opinion that he would definitely go.

Qi Youfeng was a little hesitant, after all Qi Youzhuang was not too young, although he seemed to be the youngest among several brothers.

But if there is no Qi Youzhuang on this road, it will be even more difficult, so he can only nod: "You follow, try to watch from the sidelines and don't interfere, let them deal with something."

Qi Youzhuang nodded, he understood what Qi Youfeng meant, these things would have to be handed over to them sooner or later, it was better to let them take over slowly while he was still able to protect them than to take over suddenly later.

Qi Youzhuang has made arrangements, and it will belong to the next generation. Last year, Qi Youfeng's family kept Qi Niannian and Qi Quanmin, and this year they decided to keep Qi Quanmin. His wife, Li Tao, is about to give birth.

Qi Youwang's family and Qi Quancheng want to make paper, so naturally he stayed. Qi Yougen's family, Qi Yue is an ordinary person with no power to restrain a chicken, so he should stay at home and do carpentry.

There were a lot of people who left the business this time, except those who were necessary to stay, all of them went out, but Qi Youfeng still had a serious face with worry: "You are all people with business experience, I don't have many others. Having said that, remembering anything outside is better than not thinking about your own life."

Everyone nodded honestly: "Remember."

Qi Youfeng: "Well, you guys should make preparations early, this matter will be done first, and there is one more thing, second child, let's talk about it."

Qi Youwang cleared his throat and began to say, it turned out that during the banquet yesterday, someone saw the desks in the private school and knew that the children of the Qi family were studying there, so they secretly tried to see if they could send their own children over to listen. .

It’s okay if it’s someone else, but there are Qi Youwang’s two daughters inside, and they want to send their two grandchildren over. After all, half of their family’s blood is kept, and it’s hard for Qi Youwang to refuse, let alone Zheng Wenhao and Qi Youwang. Xiao Lei these two people.

They worshiped Qi Yue as their teacher, not Qi Youwang. Qi Youwang taught them how to read. If they refuse to teach their two grandchildren how to read now, I'm afraid they will be said to be partial.

It's not difficult to teach two more grandchildren, but once you open the mouth, you can't stop it.

This matter had something to do with Qi Yue, so after he knew about it, he came up with an idea: set up a private school, confine and repair.

The method is a good method, but it is somewhat unacceptable to the people at this time, Qi Yue knows that they just haven't changed their minds for a while.

Knowledge is the source of a family's wealth, and no one is willing to share their wealth with others, so Qi Yue just made a suggestion, and he didn't insist on whether he was willing or not.

However, this seems to be the best solution. Sure enough, a group of people agreed to this method after considering it together. As for how to collect money and how to teach children, they still need to draw up a charter.

The family got together to discuss this matter for a day, and finally negotiated a little charter, two or two for one year, because the children of Qi's family have almost learned calligraphy, so the new children learn arithmetic together in the morning, Learn to read and write alone in the afternoon.

Although Erliang is a bit much, but the characters at this time are not so many twists and turns, and they can almost learn it in one year, and there is also arithmetic, which can be used for a lifetime after one year of learning, so they just buy it with Erliang Having acquired a lifetime of skills, the Qi family is almost doing charity.

The next day, Qi Youwang spread the news, and he didn't care whether anyone was willing or not.

The rest of the Qi family also began to prepare things to go to the north. There are a lot of cattle and sheep in the north, and there are a lot of mountain products in the south. some.

Qi Yue also started to get busy, he couldn't go out with the merchants together, but he also wanted to contribute to them, he wanted to be a Lian. Crossbow, the merchant team would start after the clear day, he still had time .

Qi Yougen sighed and walked into the carpentry workshop.

Qi Yue squinted his eyes and tested Zhi Zhi: "Is this the way to go? You can chat."

Qi Yougen sighed, "It's all for the children."

Qi Yue: "Just look for the second uncle for the sake of the child, what are you doing at my house?"

In the past few days, people often came to inquire about news in the name of New Year's greetings. Liu Fang and Wu Xiaoxi had to take care of Qi Zirui and managed to escape the catastrophe.

The two apprentices were pestered and questioned several times, and followed their master's example and hid in the carpentry workshop, but Qi Yougen couldn't hide, so he had to bite the bullet.

Qi Yougen glanced at him: "Do you really think that they are here to send children to learn calligraphy?"

"What are you here for?" Qi Yue pointed out, "Wen Hao, give me the five cents you have at hand."

Qi Yougen took a look at Zheng Wenhao: "They came to look for you to learn from them."

Qi Yue took the chisel and looked at it in surprise, and immediately said: "I don't have time to accept apprentices right now."

"I know," Qi Yougen still doesn't understand his son?lazy one.

"What are you busy with recently? The dowry that the Sun family asked for has not been paid yet, and you are still building these small houses?" Qi Yougen walked over to look at the small houses that Qi Yue built with wood.

Is Qi Yue the kind of lazy carpenter who doesn't complete his employer's tasks?Qi Yue: "Wenhao and Xiaolei will make the things of the Sun family. Those houses are not piled up, but put together."

Qi Yougen walked around the small house, and poked open a door inside: "Don't say your house is really nice, if it can live in, I'll move in right now."

"I plan to build one after spring." Qi Yue stopped, turned around and asked him, "Is there anyone around here who knows how to build a house?"

"I will." Qi Yougen said very casually.

Qi Yue looked at him in surprise: "Really?"

Qi Yougen glanced at him: "Who do you think built the house you live in now?"

"Amazing," what else do you four brothers not know?Qi Yue: "Then start working when the spring thaws."

Qi Yougen saw that what he said was as simple as drinking saliva: "In Kaichun, your cousin and others have all left, but no one will help you build a house."

"Just spend money to hire people." Qi Yue turned back and continued to study his Lian. Crossbow: "When they come to pay New Year's greetings, ask who is willing, which just saves you from running from house to house."

Well, Qi Yougen nodded, just in time to find something for himself.

The temperature gradually picked up, and people began to move around. The first one was the Qijia private school, which officially started classes, but Qi Yue had already left, and he had already recognized the characters, arithmetic, hehe, Qi Yue dare to say that there is no one here. Comparable to the next.

The things for the merchants are almost ready. Qiyue’s Lian. Crossbow can also fire five arrows in a row. The lethality is not too big, but it can penetrate the wooden board within 30 meters without falling. Qiyue asked Blacksmith Peng to shoot it. After ordering the matching arrows, blacksmith Peng immediately stopped all orders when he heard that they were for commercial use, and began to work overtime.

Qi Yue said in a low voice: "Uncle Peng, there are too many for them to take." Then he successfully got a supercilious look.

Qi Youzhuang pulled the bellows aside and said cheerfully: "It's okay, I can take as many as you hit."

Looking at Peng Tiejiang who had a serious face but was exuding joy all over his body, Qi Yue said, "..." I lost.

Qi Yougen chose the address of his new house, which is on the east side of his house. He laid the foundation and erected the pillars according to Qi Yue's small house model. After Qi Yue sent away the merchant team, he found that the frame of the house had been laid. .

"I changed some places," Qi Yougen took Qi Yue to look around, "I need to add a pillar to this place, otherwise the roof will be unstable."

Qi Yue nodded and marked on his blueprint. He just made a model of the house, and there was still a big gap between it and the reality. Fortunately, Qi Yougen is an experienced man.

But Qi Yougen is still a little worried about this: "Your house is at least half higher than normal, and the span between houses is large. Once the weight on it increases, it may collapse."

This Qiyue also thought of it. He could borrow the method from his previous life and use the "dougong". "Dougong" is a unique structure in Chinese architecture. The load-bearing structure that sticks out layer by layer into a bow is called an arch, and the square wooden blocks between the arches are called buckets, collectively called bucket arches. 【1】

However, he has only seen the three-dimensional simulation of the bucket arch process, and he has a general impression. In fact, the hut model he made is used for the bucket arch, but it needs to be researched and studied in practice, and it needs to be tried a few times. Qi Yue wasn't worried. Did he still make a lot of unsuitable things in such a long time?

Qi Yougen saw that he knew what to do and let him go. When Qi Yue was studying 'Dougong', the two apprentices followed him all the time.

This morning, Qi Yue asked, "Why don't you guys go to class?"

Qi Xiaolei explained: "Wen Hao has gone. In the morning, we will go alone for a day, and the other will help you with the work."

Qi Yue asked with concern: "Go every other day, can you keep up?"

Qi Xiaolei smiled at him: "Yes Master, we will learn at night."

Qi Yue nodded, no wonder he saw oil lamps lit in the two children's room every night: "Then be careful, don't burn your eyes, you will regret it later."

"Understood, Master."

After Qi Yue's research on the bucket arch was successful, Qi Yougen started to build a house, and Qi Yue worked hard to build a new house together. It wasn't until Steward Sun came to him that he realized that he didn't seem to have delivered goods to Sun's house yet. .

Qi Yue jumped down from the shelf and wiped his sweat with a cloth towel: "Butler Sun is here, come in and sit down."

Steward Sun looked behind him curiously: "Mr. Qi's house is building a new house?"

"Ah, build a wood workshop." Qi Yue led him to his yard.

Wu Xiaoxi was chopping bamboo in the yard, and Qi Zirui was sleeping soundly in the cradle next to her. Seeing Steward Sun, Wu Xiaoxi nodded politely.

Butler Sun returned a smile.
