The matchmaker came to propose marriage around noon.
I chose this time period specifically to come here just to get a bite of delicious food.
As a token of gratitude, Huangmao's family would follow custom and hold a banquet to entertain the guests, making it as sumptuous as possible so as not to be looked down upon.
When leaving, you should also prepare some small handmade items for people, such as insoles, embroidered handkerchiefs, etc.
Zhao Wei coaxed his little sister back, then said to Huang Mao, "Time is running out, let's go have some breakfast now and set off quickly."
When I returned to the kitchen, I saw a steamer on the big iron pot and a small residual fire in the stove.
When they opened the lid, they saw Yunxiu’s big steamed meat buns inside, which saved them a lot of trouble.
After each of them took four buns, they ran up the mountain without looking back.
Soon, the busy figures of Zhao Yong and the carpenter were heard in the Zhao family's yard.
At this time, there was a box drawing left on the table.
This is what Zhao Wei needs the carpenter's help to build, called a resonance box.
It is made entirely using ancient methods and was once a thing used by some charlatans to deceive people.
In his previous life, he had captured many different kinds of underworld people.
Some of them are very capable and have special expertise in certain areas.
Some of them are even given a new identity and incorporated into the army to contribute to the investigation because their special skills are so useful, as long as they do not commit particularly serious criminal cases.
Zhao Wei learned some unconventional tricks from these people.
At this time, the old carpenter looked at this strange box and initially thought that the drawing was quite complicated.
Later, after hearing Yunxiu explain every detail and requirements, the old carpenter already had a general idea of the operation process in his mind and did not find it difficult.
First, prepare a few suitable dry wooden boards, preferably pine, about 1.5-2 cm thick.
Then you need some sponges.
Nowadays, this kind of thing is not a rare thing. It is quite common in daily life and easy to find.
After preparing the materials, it’s time to follow the instructions.
The old carpenter has been doing carpentry work all his life, and he should be the least confident about this job.
But Zhao Wei's family gave a lot, so if you help make this, you can get two kilograms of fish as a thank you.
The old carpenter and his family had received a gift of 9.8 kilograms of fish yesterday.
But no one would complain about having too much meat, so naturally the more the better. He bargained with Zhao Yong for a while, and finally reached a cooperation agreement at 3 yuan.
While they were busy sawing wood in the yard, Master Lin was called over.
Zhao Wei's family was moving, and Zhao Wei couldn't take care of everything, so he called Master Lin to help.
Master Lin has several young men working under him, and they all learn how to make banquets from him.
He was also called over at this time, and a group of people started moving the things in a lively manner.
Although the house was so bustling with people coming and going, the old man and the old lady accidentally slept a little longer because they were tired after a day of bad temper.
When they woke up, it was already noon and the boxes in the old carpenter's hands were almost finished.
It is 30 cm long, 20 cm wide and 15 cm high, and has a very ordinary box structure.
But the most difficult part is making the sound beam.
On the inside of the panel and back panel, the sound beam structure is designed and carved according to acoustic principles.
In order to achieve good results, the shape, quantity and position of this sound coloration will directly affect the timbre and resonance effect of the resonance box.
Moreover, the side panel wood also requires an extra processing step, which is to make it into an arched shape.
This requires heating the wood and then using certain tools to make the curvature appear.
When you install it later, there are some small parts, such as the neck, fingerboard, bridge, etc., which need to be installed accurately.
These all contain the wisdom of our predecessors.
The carpenter worked there for a long time but still couldn't figure out what the box was used for.
I just thought that Zhao Wei wanted to make a toy, and as a craftsman he tried his best to help him realize it.
…
At this time, on the back mountain, Zhao Wei and Huangmao were searching the mountain for the little hedgehog.
Normally, you can see one every now and then in the mountains. People think this thing stinks and its thorns are prickly, so they kick it away when they see it.
Unfortunately, at this time when they needed it most, the two searched in the mountains for an hour but found nothing.
Huangmao was so tired that he was covered in sweat and put down the hoe in his hand.
This is what Zhao Wei asked me to take, and it is used to dig holes.
Hedgehogs like to live in places with water, and also like to live in caves or bushes.
Zhao Wei and his team were searching along a stream, but they didn't see any. They couldn't help but wonder if they were looking in the wrong direction.
Just when the master and disciple were perking up their spirits again, Zhao Wei, with his sharp eyes, discovered a clue in a pile of dead leaves.
They are hedgehog footprints.
The hedgehog's footprints are small, with 5 toes on its front feet and 4 on its hind feet. It will leave small plum blossom-shaped prints on the soft soil.
There is no animal in this world whose toes on the front and back feet are different.
Following the footprints, Zhao Wei came to a bush.
Then I saw a big adult hedgehog, about 20 centimeters long.
Behind it, there are 6 cute little hedgehogs.
The spines on these baby hedgehogs have hardened, and they are now able to leave the nest and learn survival skills from their mother.
"Hahahaha... hurry up, get the sacks ready and prepare to catch them all in one swoop."
The two masters and apprentices were so excited that they looked like evil villains, one of them standing in an inconspicuous place with his pockets open.
One of them used a stick to drive the hedgehog away, forcing it to crawl into the sack by itself.
There is no way, no one dares to touch these things.
After finishing all this, Zhao Wei looked at the time again and found that it was almost 11 o'clock.
By the time they get down the mountain and reach Huangmao's home, it would probably be 12 o'clock, so every second counts.
The two men carried sacks of sackcloth and hurried towards the village.
…
At the same time, at Huangmao's home.
At this time, two people had arrived, one was the matchmaker and the other was the future partner.
The other party came to see Huangmao's sister.
Once you're attracted to each other, you can settle the matter.
Following Zhao Wei's advice, the yellow-haired girl stayed in the kitchen after returning home, making herself dirty and making her boyfriend annoyed. Maybe he would no longer want her?
In order to make people disgusted, Zhao Wei asked Yunxiu to find a piece of paper, paint it black, and stick it on his front teeth.
When it is packaged like this and you look at it, it looks like it is missing two teeth.
Then, when the other party meets her alone, she will just bare her teeth and smile foolishly.
If he really can't mess it up, Zhao Wei can just shine on the bench again.
