Chapter 38 Everyone has their own aspirations

Mao Geng couldn't control his mouth after drinking. When Tan Chengzhu talked about Go, Mao Geng naturally remembered Lao Nie and Ma Xiao, so he naturally gave the word "六" to the two brothers of the Tan family, one was called Wei Ping and the other was called Xiaochun.

But after all, my mind is still a little clear, and as soon as I say it, I think it's awful. What if these two brothers want to become chess saints or celebrities in the Song Dynasty, then what should I do?

As long as the dream of two brothers is not to be the king of Go in the Song Dynasty, everything else is easy to say! With their limited Go skills, it is absolutely impossible to teach these two brothers to become national Go players.

Tan Wei and Tan Qi were excited about their words "Preface", and secondly, when they heard Mao Geng draw cakes, there was more than an idea in his mind. They had to weigh and choose. Both of them were shiny in their eyes, but they didn't say anything for a while.

When Fu Guoxie saw that his two nephews were not in trouble, he interrupted and said:

"Two good nephews, when did Mr. Mao say anything? You know that Mr. Mao just doesn't want to be proud of it. Whether it's chalk or wax paper engraving equipment, it was originally created by Mr. Mao. As for cement and such a little hydraulic mechanism, you have seen it with your own eyes. If you want to have great luck, don't think about anything else, you will have great luck with Mr. Mao."

Fu Guoxi means that his two nephews become Mao Geng as their teacher and will benefit greatly throughout their lives. As for the eldest sister, she has already explained Mao Geng’s story clearly. Mr. Kang’s current reputation is just lent to him by Mao Geng. Fu Guoxi has always had one thing to say, one, two, two, but there is no taboo.

This was very useful to Su Zhiyan's ears, and his eyes on Mao Geng became even more strange.

At this time, Tan Chengzhu's thinking was already a little disordered, but Fu Guoxi's statement came to his heart. He quickly agreed:

"Wei Ping, Xiaochun, just listen to your uncle. Follow Mr. Mao, there is that great fortune."

Unexpectedly, the tall and powerful Tan Wei and Tan Weiping stood up and said in a muffled voice:

"Dad, I have an idea."

“What’s the idea?”

"I am almost twenty years old. I want to ask my father to let me do wooden work alone. In the past, I always do work with my father. Tan Qi, oh, it's Xiaochun, Xiaochun has already done wooden work alone. Please let me do it!"

Tan Wei is his brother, but he is not as good as Tan Qi in terms of understanding. Tan Qi likes to think about it and get started quickly. Naturally, Mao Geng chose Tan Qi to make a water mill and a ball mill for himself, and it was a great success and won everyone's praise. Tan Wei saw it and was very envious. He was two years older, but he was not as good as Tan Qi. Everyone has a sense of self-esteem. Tan Wei was also very strong in his heart. He took advantage of the alcohol to ask for his own operation. This is understandable.

In Tan Chengzhu's heart, although his eldest son is not as smart as his younger son, he hopes that he will have some luck in the future. Whose father wants his son to become a success! Tan Chengzhu will no exception. When he heard Tan Wei say such ambition words, he shook his head and said with his tongue:

"Oh, yes, Tan Qi-----Oh, Xiaochun followed Brother Mao and made several mechanisms by himself. Wei Ping also wanted to do the job alone, which is great! Ambition! Alas! My son is older, and my father can still stop you! OK! Dad let you do it yourself! Haha! My son is more ambition than me!"

After saying that, Gudu finished drinking a bowl of wine and felt very unhappy!

Tan Wei heard that his father promised him to do his job, and he laughed loudly, then picked up the wine bowl and said to Dun Erbao:

"Brother Dun, you want to make a Maoban boat. If you can trust me, let me do it for you. How about you? If you are willing, we will do this."

After saying that, without waiting for the second baby to answer, he picked up the wine bowl and tilted his neck to drink the wine in the bowl. The leaking wine wet the chest.

Mao Geng was a little stunned when he heard this, subconsciously trying to stop it, but it seemed that his father had clearly agreed to Tan Wei's request just now, but his father didn't object, so of course he couldn't come forward to stop it.

When Dun Erbao was strolling in the afternoon, he also observed the skills of Tan Chengzhu and his son. In Dun Erbao's eyes, Tan Qi, who was a little thin, was far inferior to Tan Wei. Dun Erbao's carpenter must be like Tan Wei and have good strength.

Of course, Huang Wangcai is the most powerful in this workshop. Dun Erbao believes that Huang Wangcai's choice to make a blacksmith is the right choice. Huang Wangcai looks like an iron tower, and his bronze skin and a body of bullock flesh show his true iron. Tan Wei is not as strong as Huang Wangcai, but his arms are as thick as Huang Wangcai. Dun Erbao believes that he has a body of brute force and needs strength. I am afraid that Tan Wei is not much worse than himself.

Dun Erbao has seen the carpentry work of the Tan family, but his skills are not to be said. Although Tan Wei is strong and has done beautiful work, Dun Erbao was rejected when he first asked Mao Geng to build a mattress boat. He was a little unhappy. Unexpectedly, brother Tan Wei's brothers are so considerate and this brother is very helpful.

The second treasure shouted "Okay" and said happily:

"Brother Tan is willing to help me build a mattress boat, that's the best thing. Come on! Do it!"

Mao Geng was confused and felt something was wrong, but when his eyes were confused, he could no longer open it and fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, it was almost noon and felt my head still a little swollen. Mao Geng rubbed his temples and thought to himself that drinking wine had indeed happened.

Su Zhidao has left, and the merchants waiting for chalk can no longer wait. Su Zhidao brought the cement burned yesterday, which should be able to deal with for the time being.

However, Su Zhiyan stayed. According to Su Zhiyan, Su Zhidao was coming. It would not be too late for Su Zhiyan to go back with Su Zhiyan. Of course, Mao Geng only hoped that this would be the case, but it seemed unrealistic to expect Su Zhiyan to stay here.

The technology of firing cement was passed on to Su Zhidao, but the water mill and the ball mill are not something that Su Zhidao can understand thoroughly. Mao Geng promised Su Zhidao to design a large water mill for the Su family, which would be one to four, that is, a water wheel will carry four water mills at the same time. The output shaft will drive a water mill action every 90 degrees. The four water mills will rise and fall one after another, and the efficiency will be much higher. The hydraulic resources in Youxi are far from comparable to the streams here. The water mill can be made one size larger, and one to four two-stage water mill cannot be used for one set of two sets of three sets. But Mao Geng is really not sure how big the ball mill can be. Even if this wooden ball mill can be used, it will be afraid that the lifespan will not be long.

Dun Erbao did not leave, and this guy must have Tan Wei go back with him. However, Tan Chengzhu was still a little worried about what kind of rosy boat Tan Wei was going to do alone. He had to figure out what the rosy boat was before letting Tan Wei go. Now the mimeograph machine is putting in batches of materials, and he and Tan Qi are enough to deal with it. It is not impossible to let Tan Wei do it. But you have to know what the rosy boat looks like!

The second treasure of Dun Erbao also heard Mao Geng say that day, and only understood a complete truth. As for how to make it, he naturally had to ask Mao Geng.

Tan Chengzhu and Tan Wei, together with Dun Erbao, came to find Mao Geng.

"Mr. Mao, my Wei Ping wants to build a mattress for Dun Erlang. Wei Ping is big, and I think it is worth it to go out and make a breakthrough. But Dun Erlang said that he still needs to ask you for advice. Mr. Mao, just tell me what this mattress is like, Wei Ping is also easy to build."

Mao Geng regretted that he had said the Maoban boat, but Tan Chengzhu looked sincere. Thanks to Tan Chengzhu and his son over the past few days, he wanted to refuse but could not speak. Well, it seems that the little boy Dun Erbao has insisted on getting on the Maoban boat. Instead of letting them do whatever they want, it is better to guide them correctly.

After thinking about this, he asked:

"Weiping, have you ever built a ship?"

Tan Wei said in a voice:

"I built ships with my father four years ago. There are at least ten large and small ships I have built!"

The Tan family's woodworking craftsmanship is well-known. The ships made by Tan Chengzhu are probably a hundred. Shipbuilding is a rough job in the carpenter industry and cannot require any top-notch craftsmanship. The key is to calculate the materials clearly. Tan Chengzhu calculates the materials in particular in detail, and it is very wasteful. In addition, the price is fair, so there are naturally endless people who find the Tan family to build ships.

Since you have built a ship, no matter whether it is a big or small boat, this experience is rare. The ships in this era are similar and almost the same way, so don’t worry about this.

Mao Geng asked again:

"Then have you ever used horse nails?"

Tan Wei shook his big head and said:

"What is horse nail? I haven't heard of it."

Mao Geng looked at Tan Chengzhu again, and Tan Chengzhu shook his head as well:

"I haven't heard of it."

Haha, these people have never even heard of horse nails, so they want to build a mattress ship, which is really ridiculous. But Mao Geng immediately thought of a question:

"Tan Mujiang, you need to use large beams and small beams to build a house. If there are no horse nails available, how do you fix them together?"

When Mao Geng was a child, he saw people building houses. Many of the beams and small beams of triangular beams were tied up with horse nails, which was very fast. Do you have to rely on mortise and joints at this time?

Sure enough, Carpenter Tan’s answer was that it was a matter of mortise connection. It was a matter of trouble, but mortise connection was a connection between the muscles and bones between wood, which was very firm. In this era, even iron nails were used less, let alone horse nails.

Mao Geng had to draw a pattern, personally guided Huang Wangcai to punch two horse nails, and directed Tan Wei to put the two pieces of wood nails together. Dun Erbao tried it, but he couldn't get it any harder. At this moment, even Dun Erbao became enlightened and immediately started:

"I said, it turns out that there is such a good thing. With this horse nail, two hammers will be knocked together. When the ship was about to be dismantled, the horse nail was pulled out and there was another pile of wood. OK, Brother Mao was more smart. Okay, Carpenter Tan, you can let Brother Wei go with me now!"

Haha! Dun Erbao called Tan Wei "Wei Geer", "Viego"! In fact, it was more interesting than "Wei Ping". Mao Geng burst into laughter unconsciously.

But Tan Chengzhu couldn't laugh. Although he thought the horse nail was good, he was still a little worried about doing this and said:

"With this horse nail, it's fast to be fast, and there's no solid connection. I think Brother Mao is right, and this is a bit inappropriate."

Tan Chengzhu has been working in carpenter work all his life, and he only believes that the joints are reliable, and of course he is not optimistic about this method of cutting corners. It seems that Tan Chengzhu is also very knowledgeable and does not agree with the copycat route.

The second treasure of Dun Erbao was anxious and said anxiously:

"Tan Mujiang, you agreed. As long as you understand what a matte boat is, let Brother Wei follow me. Besides, it is not easy to be reliable! If you can't nail a horse, just nail a few more. Brother Wei, is that right?"

Of course Tan Wei echoed:

"Yes, Daddy, you promised me."

Tan Chengzhu sighed and said:

"Well! Go! Go! But remember, I would rather nail a few more horse nails, remember!"

Tan Wei naturally agreed happily and said in a row.

Mao Geng had no choice but to tell Tan Wei that he could try to use cement to prevent water leakage, and he could also ask Fuguogang and others to ask for some fired coke recycling as the leak-proof material. In addition, it was too troublesome to scoop water, so he would design a hand-crank water pump for Dun Erbao's roving boat.

After sending the second treasure of Tan Wei, Mao Geng couldn't help but ask himself, even though he knew it was wrong, he still had to make suggestions. Isn't this paving the way for the Dasong counterfeit products!
