Reborn Craftsman

After all, the praise of Qu Datong by more than a dozen bamboo craftsmen was their greatest compliment.

The competition continues.

On Liu Xing's side, the outline of the bamboo products made finally emerged.

This is an exquisite small fishing boat with carved dragons on the hull. The moment the dragon's eyes are lit up, the whole small fishing boat seems to be alive with spirituality.

When Master Qu and the old man in black saw this scene, their hearts twitched, but they still pretended to be disdainful on the surface.

Zhang Xinhua's thick brows were frowned. Only then did he realize that this kid named Liu Xing was not simple, at least not as miserable as he said.

Soon, the hull carving of the small fishing boat was completed, and Liu Xing did not stop, but started another step of installation and manufacture of the sail and the arch.

The production of sails is quite difficult, especially if the material is Nanzhu, it will break if you are not careful.

Because Liu Xing was born again and has experience, he didn't recklessly shape it at once, but asked Zhang Xiaoyu to bring the fire, roasted the broken bamboo strips on the fire, and then bent and made it.

This is a small experience, and the bamboo craftsmen present probably know it.

Even the children in the farm who catch frogs know the truth.

If the bamboo joints are bent, they will be straightened after being roasted with fire.

But the making of Liu Xing's sail is not just as simple as warming up to the fire, it also involves mechanics and the wind of the sail.

The overall structure of the sail is threaded with nylon thread, which can be pulled up to raise the sail and lowered to furl it.

In other words, this is a scaled-down production of a real ship, and its difficulty is beyond ordinary people's imagination.

One hour, in the busyness, there were only ten minutes left.

The lantern made by Qu Datong has been completed ahead of schedule.

The green leather sticker of the lantern is really beautiful against the red heart candle lit inside.

Seeing this scene, the big-headed bamboo craftsman couldn't help but stood up and gave a thumbs up: "Good craftsmanship, this is the most exquisite lantern I have seen since I was born, I'm afraid I can't buy it even if I have money in Shonan Province!"

When the other bamboo craftsmen heard the words, they all nodded in agreement.

Only Zhang Xiaoyu and Zhang Xiaoying disagreed with such a statement with disgust on their faces.

After all, this competition is not over yet, it would be too hasty to make a conclusion now.

Qu Datong smiled when he saw this scene, and after bowing to all the bamboo craftsmen, he hung the lantern at the gate of the farm house.

Against the background of the night, the candlelight emitted by this lantern is unique and attractive.

This hand is obviously putting pressure on Liu Xing, and it is also showing off.

However, Liu Xing continued to make his small fishing boat without even raising his head.

Zhang Xinhua looked at the time and kindly reminded: "Liu Xing, there are still 5 minutes. If your bamboo products exceed the time, you will lose."

"It can be finished in 30 seconds!" Taking advantage of everyone's attention on Qu Datong's lantern, Liu Xing secretly hid the unfinished chicken legs brought out before under the bottom of the small fishing boat, and then used The bamboo strips were covered up, revealing only a hole the size of a thumb.

"Okay!" Liu Xing patted the bamboo chips on his body, and handed the small fishing boat to Zhang Xinhua.

"Good craftsmanship!" Zhang Xinhua couldn't help but praise.

The small fishing boats made by Liu Xing are exquisite in workmanship, and the degree of simulation is almost the same as that of real fishing boats, especially the adjustable sails and carved dragons on the hull, which are simply the finishing touch.

In terms of production difficulty, Qu Datong's lanterns have almost no comparable qualifications.

"But Liu Xing, you lost today's competition!" Zhang Xinhua returned the small fishing boat to Liu Xing with a serious face.

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xiaoying and Zhang Xiaoyu became anxious, and they blurted out almost at the same time, "Why?"

The other bamboo craftsmen also pricked up their ears curiously.

In fact, in their minds, Qu Datong's lanterns are far inferior to Liu Xing's small fishing boats in terms of craftsmanship and difficulty.

Liu Xing was very calm, he smiled and waited for Zhang Xinhua's explanation.

"No reason, it's just because the lanterns made by Qu Datong are practical, they can illuminate the night and bring light to the farm houses, while the small fishing boats made by Liu Xing are exquisite, and to put it bluntly, they are just a flashy handicraft." Zhang Xinhua lightly With a sigh, he spoke out the words he had prepared in his heart.

This argument is obviously a bit far-fetched, but it is very convincing. After all, in this competition, there is no rule that the quality of a bamboo product is determined by its practicality.

And as the person in charge of the Zhang family, he was the initiator of the restoration of the golden bean steamer this time, saying that Liu Xing's small fishing boat was flashy, and that Qu Datong's lanterns were very practical. Naturally, no one dared to object, and no one dared to have an opinion. .

To put it bluntly, his words are authoritative.

Of course, even a fool could see that Zhang Xinhua didn't want to get into trouble with Master Qu and Qu Datong. After all, he would have to rely on them to repair the golden bean steamer in the future.

Even if Liu Xing's small fishing boat can win the lantern, he can only speak ironically against his conscience.

Because of a child's ability, it's not worth putting all his hopes on it.

It was quiet at this moment, and the atmosphere became inexplicably awkward.

Zhang Xiaoyu thought that Liu Xing would lose his temper, so he quickly grabbed Liu Xing.

Zhang Xiaoying glared at Zhang Xinhua with red eyes, then turned around and stomped away.

At this moment, Liu Xing spoke up. He stared at Zhang Xinhua with a sneer and said, "I used to be very fair and have good eyesight as a notary, but now it seems that you are blind!"

"Liu Xing!" Zhang Xiaoyu quickly covered Liu Xing's mouth.

"Go away, I haven't finished my words yet!" Liu Xing pushed Zhang Xiaoyu away and snatched the small fishing boat from the increasingly angry Zhang Xinhua: "You say my small fishing boat is flashy, that's good! Then I will let Just look at the practicality of this little fishing boat!"

Liu Xing walked towards the fish pond beside him, and he was calm and arrogant.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoyu hurriedly followed behind.

Zhang Xinhua, Qu Datong, the old man in black and others didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Liu Xing's gourd, so they followed closely behind.

By the fish pond.

Liu Xing put the small fishing boat into the water.

At first there was no movement, but after about ten seconds, the small fishing boat actually started to move, sailed automatically without wind, and headed towards the center of the fish pond.

"This...this...how is this possible?" Zhang Xinhua's eyes widened in astonishment.

"I clearly see that this small fishing boat is not equipped with power!" Master Qu said in a daze.

"You cheat, you are shameless!" Qu Datong pointed at Liu Xing in a panic, his face turned red.

Damn it, damn it!
