The bamboo forest of Gongshu's family was very large, and it took the carriage only a cup of tea to reach the core area, where the clan members lived.
The first time Jiang Yifeng saw Gong Loser, he felt like a paradise.
Because the Gongshu family did not build a mansion like other families, at a glance it was a village with dozens of families, with fertile fields, ponds, criss-crossing field roads, and the sounds of livestock from time to time.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the village, and Gong Shudan walked into the village with Jiang Yifeng and Shishi.
Creak...
Before walking a few steps, Jiang Yifeng was attracted by a sound. He looked over and saw a Chinese windmill.
Chinese windmills are very different from Western windmills. At first glance, they look like eight sails standing together. They are large vertical-axis windmills. They do not have a windmill room like Western windmills.
It's just that the vertical-axis windmill was invented in the Song Dynasty, and it was still in the Zhou Dynasty. How come it was built by the public losers?
Gongshu Dan saw Jiang Yifeng's gaze lingering on the windmill and said proudly: "This is called a sail-type windmill. It was invented by my grandfather. It uses the power of the wind to irrigate and drain water, and it can also be used to grind wheat. You may have never seen it before. !”
"never seen it."
Jiang Yifeng shook his head.
He didn't lie to Gongshu Dan. He had only seen photos and restoration drawings of this ancient Chinese windmill, but never seen the real thing.
In fact, since the invention of the steam engine, windmills around the world have gradually been reduced to decorations and landscapes, and few people have used them.
"As long as you follow me from now on, I can let you see many novel things." Gong Shudan said to Jiang Yifeng with his arms behind his back like an adult.
Jiang Yifeng asked calmly: "What novelty do you have?"
"have……"
Gongshudan suddenly closed his mouth and said with a sneer: "It's nothing, let's go!"
This little guy is quite cautious, I underestimated him before.
Jiang Yifeng was a little surprised. He thought he could let Gong Shudan know everything.
Immediately afterwards, Gong Shudan took the two of them into the village and met many villagers along the way, but they only greeted Gong Shudan and paid no attention to Jiang Yifeng and Shishi.
Shishi was very angry when she saw this situation. She felt that the members of the Gongshu family did not respect Jiang Yifeng.
However, as the person involved, Jiang Yifeng didn't care about this at all. He was dazzled by it.
Because many of the things he saw had long disappeared in the era before he traveled, and the production methods were also lost. Being able to see the real objects with his own eyes was of great significance to a documentary director.
The only pity is that he can't go back.
Otherwise, relying on these things, his reputation at home and abroad will rise to a higher level.
"Here we are!"
Gongshudan stopped in front of a courtyard.
This courtyard is surrounded by bamboo and has nothing special about it. If he hadn't known that this was a public house, Jiang Yifeng would have thought it was just an ordinary farmyard.
When I opened the door and entered the yard, I heard the sound of sawing wood. I looked over and saw a man in his thirties, busy.
Next to the man, there were several children who were engrossed in learning carpentry.
The man felt Gong Shudan's gaze and immediately shouted, "Come here and study. If you dare to do anything randomly again, I will break your legs."
What are you yelling at?
Haven't you ever heard that "God does not create the public and loses the sun, but the craftsmanship is as long as the night"?
People say that I have surpassed you and grandpa. I am the future of the Gongshu family. The next generation of the Gongshu family should be mine, and I gave it to you.
Gongshudan roared crazily in his heart, but his face was solemn, "Dad, I got it."
As he said this, he reluctantly walked over and, together with the other children, watched the man do carpentry work.
During this process, the man only glanced at Jiang Yifeng and continued to saw the wood without even saying hello.
"Master, he..."
Shishi felt that Jiang Yifeng was offended.
"fine!"
Jiang Yifeng didn't care about this.
As long as he has real skills, he won't mind if his attitude is a little different, and there is no need to toast him.
When he thought of toasting, he thought of Mr. Huo. In the past, he thought that Mr. Huo had to stand up and toast to the leaders when he came to China. But now he realized that Mr. Huo sat at the children's table.
Moreover, even if his body could not move, Mr. Huo never gave up the exploration of the black hole.
clang clang...
Suddenly, there was a sound of metal hitting.
Jiang Yifeng looked over and saw an old man knocking the dry tobacco pot on the stone and knocking out the burned tobacco inside.
Shishi whispered: "Master, he is Gongshu Chang, the current head of the Gongshu family. He is the best carpenter in the Gongshu family."
"Um!"
Jiang Yifeng nodded slightly, walked towards Gongshu Chang, cupped his hands and said, "Junior Jiang Yifeng, pay my respects to senior."
Gongshu Chang looked exactly like his son with a paralyzed face. He had no expression on his face and didn't speak. He just nodded lightly.
Throughout the whole process, Gong Shuchang's carpentry work never stopped.
"male……"
Seeing this, Shishi couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward to have a fight with Gongsuchang.
"fine."
Jiang Yifeng held Shishi, looked at Gongsuchang with a smile, and asked: "Senior, are you making Luban Suo?"
Lu Ban Lock is also called Kong Ming Suo and Bagua Lock. According to legend, Lu Ban made a toy that can be assembled and disassembled from six pieces of wood in order to test his son's IQ. It uses a mortise and tenon structure.
The amazing thing about this toy is that it looks perfect on the outside. If you don't get familiar with it in advance, it will take a long time to open the Luban lock.
However, once you understand the principle, the Luban lock is easy to disassemble.
There was a time when Jiang Yifeng was obsessed with Lu Ban Suo.
As soon as he said this, Gongshu Chang stopped and looked at Jiang Yifeng calmly, "Do you also know Lu Ban Suo?"
"Know a thing or two."
"Take this apart."
Gong Shuchang selected the most classic cross Luban lock from a bunch of Luban locks.
This kind of Luban lock looks like six pieces of wood put together, but in fact, if you want to twitch one of the six pieces of wood, when you take it apart, you will find that none of the pieces of wood can be moved.
However, this was too simple for Jiang Yifeng, who had known Lu Bansuo before.
The corner of Jiang Yifeng's mouth turned up slightly. He picked up the cross Luban lock and looked at it for a while. Finally he found the key piece of wood and twisted it hard. The tightly fitting Luban lock fell apart and turned into six pieces of wood with gaps.
"Wow, Master, you are so awesome."
Shishi cheered happily when she saw the cross Luban lock being opened.
"low profile!"
Jiang Yifeng asked Shishi to calm down, then looked at Gongsuchang, "Senior, is this okay?"
Gong Shuchang did not answer Jiang Yifeng, but handed Jiang Yifeng a complicated Luban lock.
Seeing this situation, Jiang Yifeng was still not angry. After taking it casually, he opened it easily.
Then, he sat down in front of the pile of Luban locks without waiting for Gongshu Chang to speak. He took the initiative to pick up a Luban lock without Gongshu Chang opening his mouth.
Wow…
Wow…
I saw that those Luban locks, which in the eyes of ordinary people were complicated and difficult to understand, turned into a few pieces of wood in Jiang Yifeng's hands in just a few breaths.
After a while, more than a dozen Luban locks were dismantled and their parts were scattered on the ground.
"enough!"
Just when Jiang Yifeng wanted to continue, Gong Shuchang stopped him and said, "You only focus on tearing it down and don't put in the effort. Do you want to exhaust me, an old man, to death later?"
Wow!
Jiang Yifeng took apart another Luban lock and said with a smile: "Senior, if you need it, I can help put them together."
"Need not!"
Gong Shuchang's eyes flashed with confusion, "There are many Luban locks here, but there are none outside. How did you do it, take it apart and assemble it easily?"
"Can't you understand these gadgets just by looking at them?"
For Gongshu Chang, these Luban locks are difficult for anyone except members of the Gongshu family to disassemble or assemble.
But for Jiang Yifeng, who traveled through time, these Luban locks were too common in later generations. You can buy several models online for only a few dozen yuan.
Of course, it was impossible for him to tell the real reason. Besides, the purpose of his coming today was to attack the arrogance of the public loser.
really……
Gong Shuchang, who had just developed a crush on Jiang Yifeng, immediately frowned and said with dissatisfaction in his tone, "Young man, you are a bit too crazy."
Jiang Yifeng replied sincerely: "Senior, I'm not crazy, I'm just telling the truth."
Gongshu Chang sneered, "Not many outsiders can open these Luban locks. Do you think this is true?"
"When Master Luban made the Luban lock, no one could open it. Now many carpenters can make Luban locks. As long as you ask them and know the principle, it is not difficult to open any Luban lock."
"Strong words."
Jiang Yifeng shook his head slightly, "Senior, this is not a strong argument, but I feel that Gongshu's craftsmanship over the years is no longer far ahead. When Master Lu Ban was here, he invented many tools for carpenters, but now As for the public losers, I guess they haven’t invented a new tool.”
Gong Shuchang: "..."
Jiang Yifeng continued: "To put it more bluntly, the current public losers are still reaping the dividends left by Master Lu Ban. When the dividends are gone and other carpenters catch up, what will be left for the public losers?"
Gongshu Chang snorted coldly and did not argue.
Because he himself felt that Jiang Yifeng's words made sense. Gongshujia had not made much progress in carpentry over the years.
However, he couldn't solve this problem and felt a little irritated.
Gongshu Chang said in a deep voice: "If you are here to ridicule Gongshujia, you can go back. Gongshujia does not welcome you."
Jiang Yifeng immediately smiled, "I don't mean to ridicule the public loser, but I want to lead the public loser to reach another peak."
Gongshu Chang sneered: "Just you?"
Jiang Yifeng nodded, "Yes, it's up to me."
Gongshu Chang looked at Jiang Yifeng's hands and said, "Your hands are as white as jade. You don't look like a carpenter at first glance. Why do you think you can lead Gongshu Chang to another peak?"
"I have money and ideas."
Jiang Yifeng said in the tone of a nouveau riche: "There are two things the public losers lack. One is a variety of wood. Some wood needs to be transported from other places, which costs a lot. If you have money, this is not a problem."
"Second, public losers do not lack good craftsmanship. What they lack is an idea to climb to the top. To put it bluntly, public losers have entered a dead end. I can pull you out."
"Although Gongshu Family has declined, it is not difficult to make money." Gongshu Chang glanced at Jiang Yifeng lightly and continued: "As for ideas, I don't think you can have any good ideas."
"Since the public loser doesn't want to be led by me, let's just forget about it!"
Jiang Yifeng took out a lot of IOUs from his arms and put them in front of Gongshu Chang, "These are the money borrowed by Gongshu Chang. I respect you as a senior, so I don't charge you interest. I just need to repay the principal."
Gongshu Chang didn't expect that Jiang Yifeng didn't follow the routine and suddenly asked Gongshu to pay back the money. He immediately didn't know how to reply.
Because Gongshujia had not opened for a long time and was unable to repay the borrowed money.
After hesitating for a long time, Gongshu Chang asked shamelessly: "Can... can you delay it for a while? Gongshu Chang has no money now."
"cannot!"
Jiang Yifeng shook his head and refused, "Senior, it was you who said that public losers can make money easily, and I believe you. Are you planning not to pay back the money you owe?"
"Oh, this is not easy to handle. Master Lu Ban's descendants will not pay back the money. If this is revealed, Master Lu Ban will be laughed at wherever he puts his face."
Listening to Jiang Yifeng's words, a look of worry finally appeared on Gongshu Chang's expressionless face, "I didn't say I won't pay back the money I owe, I just want to delay it for a while, and can you not mention the name of your ancestor?"
Jiang Yifeng said: "You also feel that you have embarrassed Master Lu Ban?"
Gongshu Chang didn't speak.
Jiang Yifeng continued: "Since you feel embarrassed for Master Lu Ban, then repay the money immediately, otherwise I will tell everyone that the descendants of Master Lu Ban will not repay the money they borrowed. Anyway, it is not me who is embarrassed."
Gong Shuchang's momentum became much weaker, "Can we discuss this?"
"Can!"
Jiang Yifeng looked at Gongshu Chang, "What I want is very simple. As long as Gongshu agrees to surrender to me, I will give him any amount of money he wants from now on, but the things he makes will belong to me."
Gongshu Chang spoke firmly, "Gongshu Chang cannot surrender to anyone."
Jiang Yifeng frowned and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will expose the loser's failure to pay back the money he owes?"
"Afraid!"
Gongshu Chang looked at Jiang Yifeng and said, "Not paying back the money you owe will be the most embarrassing. If I surrender to you, Gongshu's family may be gone. There is no way I can promise you."
"..."
Hearing this, Jiang Yifeng was silent for a long time and sighed: "Why is your mind so messed up? Do you know that while the Gongshu family has not made any breakthroughs in these years, Momen has already found a way to break through."
"Back then, Mo Zhai was able to defeat Master Lu Ban. I don't believe that Gong Loser doesn't want to win against Momen once. But with the current Gongloser, not only does it have no chance of winning, but Momen will also be left far behind."
"Senior, don't look at me with murderous eyes. These words were not said by me, but... by a Momen disciple named Zhao Toutou."
When Gongshu Chang heard about Momen, his IQ plummeted and he said angrily: "Momen bullies people too much. Why do they think Gongshu will lose to them?"
Jiang Yifeng grinned, "Because I taught them how to use gunpowder."
