Cao Xiong: "..."
Zhu Youxiao: "Look, the carpenter in front is at a loss, let's go and have a look!" 』
Fuck!Do you really think that I came to the workshop to do voluntary labor?
Seeing that Cao Xiong was indifferent, Zhu Youxiao sent out three super barrage reminders in a row. If it wasn't because of his young age, Cao Xiong really wanted to silence him!
Chapter 112 The Old Carpenter
Seeing Cao Xiong staying where he was, Cao Lin thought he was mad.He slapped Cao Xiong on the back violently.
Cao Xiong's thoughts were instantly withdrawn from the live broadcast room.
"Fifth Brother, are you alright?" Cao Lin asked worriedly.
"It's okay! Brother Cao Lin, let's go!"
"Ah! Let's go?" Cao Lin followed his will and asked: "Go to the 'Yanwan Building'? I've never been there, so I don't know if I have enough coins?"
Hearing Cao Lin's words, Cao Xiong laughed out loud and wiped Cao Lin's head.
"Where does Brother Cao Lin want to go? Even to the 'Yanwan Tower', not now!"
After all, he dragged Cao Lin to an old carpenter!
The old carpenter had been looking downcast ever since Cao Xiong entered the door. Cao Xiong didn't pay special attention to it at first, but since Zhu Youxiao insisted on coming to help others, Cao Xiong simply came to help him.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Cao Xiong asked.
The old carpenter turned his head and saw the two 15-year-old boys. He was a little disappointed and turned his head back again.
"Kids, go play somewhere else!" The voice was so soft that he didn't even bother to speak.
In front of the old carpenter was a dilapidated bed crossbow, also known as "bed crossbow", which was widely used on the battlefield during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. One or several bows were installed on the bed frame to twist The axle at the rear of the bow is loaded with arrows, ready to launch.
Its ejection power far exceeds the bows and crossbows used by ordinary people!
It is also widely used on the Three Kingdoms battlefield.
It's just that the one in front of me looks a bit old, while the rest are just like normal bed crossbows.
In the live broadcast room, a super barrage flashed in Cao Xiong's consciousness.
Zhu Youxiao: "This bed crossbow has been played with broken, and now it will definitely not be able to shoot arrows!" 』
Hearing Zhu Youxiao's speech, thinking of the old carpenter's downcast, Cao Xiong boldly asked:
"Master, is this bed crossbow unable to shoot the arrow?"
This was Cao Xiong's guess based on Zhu Youxiao's words.Unexpectedly, the master turned his head quickly, "You child, how can you know this?"
Cao Xiong smiled slightly, and quickly opened the live broadcast room.
Cao Xiong: "Zhu Youxiao, is there any chance of saving this crossbow?" 』
Zhu Youxiao: "In this world, there is no wooden product that I cannot save!" 』
With these words, Cao Xiong felt half at ease.
The old carpenter saw that Cao Xiong had revealed the problem with the bed crossbow, stood up, coughed, and said:
"The old man has been repairing this for three days, but no matter how he sets up the bow, the bow and arrow can't shoot out, as if it is blocked somewhere. After dismantling everything, but can't find where it is blocked, such a strange thing , I’ve been a carpenter for so many years, this is the first time I’ve met him.”
There were a few young men near the old carpenter, who were working while echoing.
"Carpenter Liu, although you are the most experienced person in this workshop, you can't accept it. According to me, let Hao Zhao come and fix it. That guy is born to be a good carpenter."
"As soon as Hao Zhao makes a move, he will know if there is one! How else can he bear the title of 'Carpenter Genius'?"
Even though the group of young lads coaxed him, Liu Carpenter was still unwilling to invite Hao Zhao, the genius of that day.
Cao Xiong chatted with old carpenter Liu about the details of carpentry.
Rather than saying that Cao Xiong was chatting with Old Carpenter Liu, it would be better to say that Zhu Youxiao was discussing with Old Carpenter Liu in the field of carpentry through Cao Xiong's mouth.
Chapter 113 Onlookers
Old carpenter Liu was amazed that the young man in front of him, who was only 15 years old, had such a clear and delicate understanding of the field of carpentry!
Even some details, he has been working for more than [-] years, but he doesn't know as clearly as the boy in front of him.
For a while, old carpenter Liu had a good impression of Cao Xiong.
Cao Xiong took advantage of the opportunity to ask old carpenter Liu about the situation in the workshop, including, of course, the "carpenter genius" Hao Zhao mentioned by the young carpenters!
It turns out that this workshop looks like a group of carpenters, but in fact, there are clearly divided factions inside. The old carpenter Liu is the head of the faction. The characteristics of this faction are that they are older and experienced, but their hands-on ability and innovation ability are not strong.
The other faction is composed of young people headed by the genius Hao Zhao. Hao Zhao is a 24-year-old young carpenter who has sprung up in this workshop and knows all kinds of siege equipment!
It took ten people three days to complete the assembly of a catapult, but he could complete it in two days by himself. He can be said to be the youngest genius in the workshop.
The two factions seem to be intimate, but in fact they are fighting openly and secretly.
Liu Ye naturally knew this, but their struggle was good news for the march in the workshop, the development and maintenance of siege equipment.There is no hindrance.
On the contrary, this name is Hao Zhao, who is highly regarded by Liu Ye.
After receiving this news, Cao Xiong simply patted the bed crossbow beside him, and asked: "Old carpenter Liu, can I let the younger generation come to repair it!"
Carpenter Liu looked at Cao Xiong in front of him. Through the previous conversation, Carpenter Liu believed that the child's attainments in carpentry were no less than his, so he waved his hand as a promise.
Cao Xiong opened the live broadcast room.
Under Zhu Youxiao's patient and meticulous guidance, he began to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the bed crossbow.
The young carpenters nearby laughed when they saw a 15-year-old child crawling on the bed.
"Is this carpenter Liu's head rusted? To ask a 15-year-old kid to repair the bed crossbow, the older I get, the more confused I get!"
The young carpenters saw it as a novelty, and even invited a group of carpenters with a good relationship, wanting to see Carpenter Liu make a fool of himself.
The carpenters around were accumulating more and more, and finally the whole workshop spread a word:
"Carpenter Liu is crazy, he found a 15-year-old doll to repair the bed crossbow!"
Who was not interested in such a new thing, and gathered around one after another.
"Old Liu, what kind of stupid are you doing? Let a 15-year-old child repair this bed crossbow. We have so many old carpenters who can't fix it well. How can he?"
"Old Liu, let him come down quickly! There are more and more people coming here to see, we old carpenters, how can we afford to lose this man."
Many old carpenters came to dissuade him, and Carpenter Liu also murmured.
Cao Xiong was sweating profusely on the bed, with a sad expression on his face.Carpenter Liu thought to himself: "Even if this kid knows a lot, he is still only 15 years old. How can he fix it well?"
As if to call Cao Xiong to come down.
Who knows, Cao Lin stopped him immediately, "Let my fifth brother try again! I believe my fifth brother!"
Hearing what Cao Lin said, Liu Carpenter simply refused to call Cao Xiong. Anyway, there are so many people watching now, even if it is embarrassing, it has already been lost. Where can it be thrown again?
Cao Xiong was on the bed, sweating profusely, with a serious look on his face!
But this has nothing to do with the difficulty of repairing the bed crossbow. Zhu Youxiao's carpentry ability is still excellent!
It's just that Zhu Youxiao directed with his mouth and didn't make any plans, and Cao Xiong became a monk halfway through. How could he know the handling of many agencies clearly.
In this way, it is necessary to try again and again according to Zhu Youxiao's instructions.
Zhu Youxiao enjoyed it, and Cao Xiong was sweating profusely!
Chapter 114 Carpenter Talent
All the carpenters in the workshop surrounded Wu Gongzi, and Liu Ye was surprised when he heard the news!
After inquiring, I found out that Cao Xiong was choked by himself, and in a fit of anger, he went to repair the siege equipment!
These five sons are really dishonest!
Liu Ye then thought, maybe he wants to take this opportunity to establish his prestige among carpenters?
Reminiscent of the sophistry during the meeting yesterday, and the fact that the fourth son Cao Zhi was in his hands, the fifth son may really have this ability!
Thinking of this, Liu Ye didn't dare to sit idly by. The reason why he is so proud now as a manager is because of his official rank and prestige in the hearts of the carpenters.
If Cao Xiong, the fifth son of the carpenter, had a good impression, it would be very bad for Liu Ye!
Liu Ye hurried downstairs, intending to disperse all the carpenters.
But when he saw that Cao Xiong was repairing this bed crossbow, he felt relieved!
Because after this bed crossbow was delivered to this workshop, within a month, Jiubo carpenter was replaced, and he even went out in person, but he couldn't find the reason why this bed crossbow couldn't shoot arrows!
No, even the most experienced old carpenter Liu was helpless and failed.
I'm afraid that even if someone can repair it, only the 24-year-old "genius carpenter" Hao Zhao in the workshop is left, right?
The 15-year-old fifth son Cao Xiong?
If it is to ruin a good bed crossbow, then it is still possible!
It is absolutely impossible to fix this "big problem" bed crossbow!
Liu Ye is not in a hurry to disperse the carpenters, it would be good to let the Fifth Young Master Cao Xiong make a big fool of himself in front of the carpenters!
After figuring this out, Liu Ye simply turned around, ready to go back, there's no need to accompany Fifth Young Master to make trouble here!
I never thought that just as I turned around, I heard a loud and crisp sound!
"I fixed it!"
The speaker was the Fifth Young Master Cao Xiong who was on the bed crossbow.
What?Fix...Fixed?
How can it be?Dozens of carpenters in the whole workshop can't fix it well, so why do you fix it?
Because you are Cao Sikong's son?But your old man Cao Cao is not Lu Ban!How can there be such a talent as a carpenter?
Liu Ye stopped in his tracks, he wanted to see if the Fifth Young Master had repaired it seriously, or was it just a joke!
Cao Xiong jumped off the bed crossbow.
After some repairs, he was exhausted. If it weren't for Zhu Youxiao's understanding of the structure of the entire wooden bed crossbow, and even every component, how could it be possible to complete the repairs in such a short time!
"Fixed...is it fixed?" Carpenter Liu asked suspiciously.
Cao Xiong clapped his hands, his expression calm: "Yes!"
Speech is easy and natural!
"But is your tone wrong?" Carpenter Liu asked again.
Cao Xiong spread his hands: "Could it be that you should be very happy? It's not some complicated repair, isn't it?"
This sentence did not mean what Cao Xiong meant. Zhu Youxiao posted the barrage, so Cao Xiong pronounced it according to his meaning.
However, after saying this sentence, all the carpenters shook their heads.
"really?"
"how is this possible?"
"You liar, you will be beaten!"
There are two words in capital letters on their faces: Don't believe it!
Cao Xiong saw what they meant and scratched his head:
"Don't believe me? Let's try!"
