The third round of evaluation is "choosing trees".
This round scored the most points, and the fact was also the most important link in each wood yard.
The main purpose of Yao's wooden workshop is to provide wood needed for wood workshop work.
The materials needed to make furniture were relatively fixed. At this time, he only needed to prepare the corresponding wood in advance.
But there are larger, more complex jobs, such as building houses and creating high-end furniture and appliances, that may require a mix of different kinds of wood and sometimes temporary scheduling. In order to cope with this situation, it is necessary to have sufficient timber reserves in each lumber yard, and the speed of preparation and dispatch should be fast enough to supply and complete the work in time.
The end-of-month assessment is an assessment of the ability of each person in the wood workshop. The selection of wood is also a field training. The masters and disciples of each wood yard are required to be familiar with the wood of this field.
Master Yang obviously attached more importance to this link. He repeated the requirements of selecting wood with a serious expression. Everyone below also listened very carefully.
In order to save time, there would be one person for each of the five woodlots, and five people would be taking the assessment at the same time.
First, draw lots. These five people went forward to extract the requirements for the wood they needed to find in this field. This requirement not only included the type of wood, but also the size size, as well as the specific contents such as whether there were knots, color, and so on.
After drawing the lot, the evaluated member needs to immediately go to the wood yard and bring the corresponding wood.
From the beginning of the draw, a stick of incense will burn. If this man did not bring the wood before the incense burned out, the woodyard where he was would not have a penny.
If it can be completed in time, the master will evaluate the remaining length of the incense stick and the quality of the wood he brings, with the highest score of ten and the lowest score of zero.
The number of people in each log yard was different. After this round of assessment, the five log yards would be converted according to the number of people, and the final score would be ranked.
After Master Yang finished speaking, he looked around and asked,"Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Everyone responded with a roar, and Xu Wen nodded as well.
At this moment, he also calculated in his heart.
Among the five wood farms, cypress farms had the largest number of people, while old wood farms and redwood farms had similar numbers, relatively few.
Now they were 128 points behind Fraxinus mandshurica. If they were to calculate according to the number of people, they would have to surpass Fraxinus mandshurica by more than 51 points in the final round to get out of the bottom position.
Now, Beech Field had the highest score. If he wanted to surpass them, he would need to be 110 points higher than them…This was a little difficult.
There were 28 people in the old wood yard, including Master and him.
The only expectation was that everyone would get full marks…
Xu Wen pulled Xu San and called out,"Senior Brother."
Xu San turned around and asked,"What?"
"I wonder if we can get first place?" Xu Wen said softly but firmly.
" What?!" Xu San's eyes widened immediately. The other people beside him heard it and turned to Xu Wen at the same time. They looked at him in disbelief.
"Impossible!" Xu San said without hesitation.
"Why not?" Xu Wen asked, explaining to them the calculations he had just made.
"If only half of the incense stick was left and the wood was correct, we'd get ten points. From here to the old wood yard and back, only need a third of the time incense stick. This is not difficult to accomplish, why can't it be done?" Xu Wen looked around and unconsciously, all the apprentices in the old wood yard had surrounded him.
"Then, then what about the time to choose wood?" Xu San became nervous and began to stutter again.
"We've rearranged the wood. We just need to go and get it." Xu Wen said simply.
His gaze swept over everyone, and their expressions gradually became clear from hesitation. Obviously, they were thinking about the work they had done in the past two days and the current situation in the old lumberyard.
"Can I try it?" An apprentice named Qian Ming whispered.
"If we can get first place, will we be able to eat hot meals next month?" Another apprentice suddenly said expectantly.
"Yes, you can be the first to eat!" Qian Ming was excited.
"The first one to get rice can still get meat! When I, when I went, there was no meat left." Xu San stammered to the point.
"Meat!"
All of them were in their forties and fifties. To them, nothing was more important than eating meat.
For a moment, everyone's eyes lit up and their fighting spirit was ignited.
If it was last month, even if they wanted to eat meat, they would have to admit defeat obediently.
But this month is different, they have done a lot of work ahead of time, they still have a chance to win!
"If you can really get first place, I'll buy you a pen and paper, one for each of you." All of a sudden, even the master interjected, and it was unknown when he stood there.
All the apprentices in the old lumberyard fell silent and looked at Master Lian.
Xu Wen looked at them and laughed.
To get first place is not a job he can do alone. But now, he felt that there should be no problem.
Master Yang finished stating the rules and was about to shout for the start when Master Yao brought Senior Brother Zhou through the door again.
He cupped his hands at Master Yang, walked up to the stone platform again, and sat down.
Master Yang seemed a little surprised, but he immediately turned around and said loudly,"Beech, redwood, cypress, ash, old wood, five wood farms to prepare together." Burn incense!"
Five cigarettes curled into the sky, and light incense ash began to accumulate at the mouth of the cigarette.
One person from each of the five wood farms stood up, and the one in front was naturally the master of each family.
These masters were more reserved. When they saw the incense lit, they stepped forward and walked slowly out of the door.
There were naughty little disciples who secretly followed behind them and waited for them to leave. He looked at it and covered his mouth and ran back happily.
" Masters, you're pretending. You started running the moment you stepped out!"
After a while, the truth spread to the crowd. The disciples couldn't help but laugh, but they felt that since their master was so serious, they had to work hard.
Even the master was among the first. He went out with the other masters, and the incense candle reappeared at the door less than a third of the time.
He held a square of wood in his hand and walked to Master Yang. He gently put it down. With a flip of his hand, he handed over the paper he had drawn earlier.
" Fragrance is not half burned, camphor wood is one square, two feet square, one foot long, three inches thick, good wood without scars, correct!"
The young man next to Master Yang recited it like he was singing a play. Master Yang raised his hand without hesitation and drew two straight characters at the bottom of the old wooden yard.
Xu Sanyi was delighted and whispered to Xu Wen,"I thought Master didn't care about anything. It turns out that he will run back!"
Xu Wen looked at Master Lian's calm appearance and couldn't imagine him running at all. However, the truth was that he was the first to return and earned the first full score for the old lumber yard!
The disciples of the old lumberyard were clearly motivated.
They only had one master, so Xu San, their disciple, had to go up in the second wave.
At the beginning, he put on a run-up posture. As soon as Master Yang's senior brother took out the tray full of labels, he randomly pulled it out and turned around to run. As he ran, he opened the label to see_even this time was reluctant to waste.
His actions were too sudden and unexpected. The teachers beside him were all stunned.
As a result, Xu San's back was nowhere to be seen by the time the teachers reached the door. He was also the first to return, sweating profusely and panting as he brought back the exact wood.
Similarly, before the incense was half burned, two more official characters were recorded under the name of the old wood farm.
The third person to appear in the old lumberyard was Qian Ming. Once again, the masters in the other yards could only see the butt of an apprentice.
Qian Ming was also the first to return to the square without any doubt, and the third had full marks.
The fourth round began, and disciples from other rounds also went up.
They didn't have to show their status in front of their disciples like their master did. Just like the old wooden yard, they also grabbed the lot and ran, glaring at the people beside them as they ran.
You guys alone? Are you bullying our master?
However, the first to return to the square is still the apprentice of the old lumberyard.
This time, Feng Li went on stage. He was small and thin, but the wood he drew required a larger size, three feet long. He ran back with the big log on his back, his face red and the veins on his neck popping out.
After he got full marks, he returned to the team panting and smiled foolishly: "Me, I'm also the first."
Xu San wiped his sweat with hatred." Why are you running so fast? You don't need to be first, as long as the incense is not half burned, you can still get double positive!"
"Hehe, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time." Feng Li stared at the two characters on the wooden board and giggled happily.
The ones in front were the masters and the disciples who had been in the wood yard for a long time. They were familiar with their own wood yard and usually wouldn't make mistakes with the wood they brought back. The comparison was the time to go back and forth.
Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that the old timber yard dominates.
Young man, it's normal to run fast.
But from the fifth person in each wood yard, it began to feel a little wrong.
At this time, the masters of each stage had basically completed the task of selecting trees, and the rest were all young disciples.
The disciples didn't care about face. Just like Xu San and the others, they snatched the lot and ran away, trying to return as quickly as possible.
But running fast isn't the most important thing at this stage. The key is to find the right wood and come back.
The five of them set off together. When they left, they all ran wildly. Almost in an instant, the square was empty.
The incense sticks burned bit by bit, and smoke curled up. Everyone was waiting to see who would be the first to return this time.
Not long after, a figure appeared at the door.
Brown linen bunting, the most common apprentice uniform, all apprentices dress like this, but the reddish-brown band on the skirt indicates his identity-
Old lumberyard again.
They're the first to arrive again!
