Zheng Quchi overheard the conversation among the people below. She looked at Ao Qi, who had a smug expression, and asked, "Is this your specialty?"
"What, are you scared?" Ao Qi said with contempt and arrogance.
Zheng Quchi: "..." You really have no words left, right?
"Let's begin."
She picked up the handsaw, randomly choosing one of the two pieces of wood. It was about the length of her arm and the width of her palm. She first weighed the piece of wood in her hand to estimate its weight.
This is the feel that experienced carpenters would have, but Zheng Quchi cheated a little; she also had a precise and scientific calculation method in her mind.
After assessing the wood with her bright eyes, she began to find the midpoint and saw.
This is a very common method of sawing wood: one part is divided into two, two parts into four, four parts into eight... First, saw the board, then saw the blocks, then the strips. The sawing is repeated back and forth with a pull and a push. The noisy sawing sound is not noticeable in the hall, after all, the hall is bustling with people, each with their own lively place.
After she sawed the long log, she used an axe to cut it to the appropriate size. However, since there were no tools to help straighten the length, she relied entirely on her sense of touch and eyesight to get started, and she never regretted her work.
Zheng Quchi's speed and force are very particular, starting slowly and then speeding up, decisive and precise.
Meanwhile, Ao Qi was sawing wood hard while also observing the opposite side.
But when he saw that the other woman's sawing speed and the number of wood strips she cut were no less than his own, he became anxious. How could this person be like this? It's a complete fraud. She is clearly a delicate woman. Where does she get such great strength?
Not to mention him, everyone in the audience originally thought that this delicate lady would definitely fail miserably in this round, but to their surprise, she showed no signs of defeat and was evenly matched with Ao Qi.
Isn't that strange? This is truly the most interesting and surprising thing that has happened on TVB in recent years.
Ao Qi sped up. His accuracy in cutting wood came from experience; he had been able to estimate weights and measurements quite accurately since childhood.
But this doesn't mean that this is easy for him, because the wood is not only different in shape, but also in hardness and texture. Each time is a new attempt. He has to get strips of wood of the same size and length from a large piece of wood without measuring tools, which is also a great test of his skills.
After about an incense stick's time, both of them finished cutting and each obtained ten wooden strips.
These twenty wooden strips, at first glance, look almost identical. They cannot be accurately judged by the naked eye alone. The people from the Golden Platform need to weigh and measure them before returning to the arena to announce the results.
