Chapter 156
What the hell is this?
Everyone didn't understand what Zhuge Xuan meant.
Zhuge Xuan walked out of the pavilion with a smile, and everyone followed curiously.
He walked farther and farther, and came to the side of the construction site, where there were a lot of timber and stones.
Zhuge Xuan pointed to one of the bunches of logs and said, "Zhugong, do you see it, this is my question." "
Cai Yong said with a smile: "Ziao, these are all birch trees, children know each other, this competition is too simple!"
Huang Chengyan also smiled: "Ziao, don't be joking, Lang Xie Zhuge has a lot of books, don't let everyone laugh!"
Zhuge Xuan laughed and said: "I will let the two Junjie identify what kind of wood this is, my topic is, let the two of them tell which end of the log is the tip and which end is the root!"
Everyone suddenly realized, but after listening to Zhuge Xuan's question, everyone fell into deep thought.
These logs are the same thickness up and down, how can it be possible to separate the roots and tips, this is a problem that cannot be solved.
Pang Tong and Liu Shan, who were competing, were both in deep thought, but one was really thinking, and the other was flipping through the book in his head.
Huang Chengyan asked Cai Yong in a low voice: "Brother Bo, you are well-read, do you have a way to distinguish?"
Cai Yong was a little embarrassed, he read a lot of books, but they were all subsets of scriptures and histories, and he would read some useless miscellaneous books there.
He smiled and said: "Chengyan, the old man has no way to distinguish, what about you? The Cai family is one of the four great families in Jingzhou, there must be a wonderful method!"
Huang Chengyan shook his head and said: "I don't know, I'm not a carpenter, why study which end is the tip and which end is the root!"
Pang Degong interjected: "Zi Ao's question is beyond our expectations, even if the experience of you and me is not clear, can these two little guys answer it?"
Cai Yong watched Liu Shan stage a miraculous turnaround several times in Chang'an, and he almost blindly trusted this disciple, and said without thinking about it: "With my talent in vain, this is just a pediatric!
Just as his words fell, Pang Tong shouted excitedly: "I know, I know how to distinguish!"
Seeing Cai Yong being slapped in the face instantly, Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong couldn't help laughing.
Cai Yong is so angry, how can he lose today, he immediately scolded: "Retreat, what are you thinking?
Liu Shan just found the answer, not to mention, 100,000 why is it really a good book, and the wide range of knowledge is scary.
He said to Cai Yong: "Teacher, you taught me to respect the old and love the young, I already knew the answer, so why not let Shi Yuanxian brother?"
Cai Yong couldn't help but stroke his beard and laughed, and said: "It is worthy of my Cai Yong's disciple, he is really polite and knows how to be humble!"
Listening to Cai Yong's boasting, Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong couldn't help but roll their eyes and scold. This old fellow, who was jumping in a hurry just now, is now struggling again.
When Pang Tong heard Liu Shan say to let him, he couldn't help but be furious, and said: "What kind of cowhide to brag, who will use you!"
Liu Shan smiled: "Shiyuan, you might as well make a bet with me, I don't know if you dare?"
Pang Tong has been ugly since he was a child, and his self-esteem has become stronger and stronger, and he can't stand the excitement of people at all, so he said angrily: "Say, no matter what you bet on, I Pang Tong should go!"
Liu Shan said: "If I win you today, and come to work for me on the day you finish your studies, I don't know if you dare to respond!"
Pang Tong sneered: "Okay, I'll promise you, what if you lose?"
Liu Shan said: "I lost? That's impossible!"
Pang Tong said angrily: "Then it won't be that I will serve you if I lose, and you will not be punished for losing!"
Liu Shan said curtly: "If I lose, how about I give you a hundred yuan? A hundred dollars may buy a lot of things, you must have never seen so much money at a young age!"
Pang Tong took a sip and said, "I don't like money! If you lose, you will see me respectfully and respectfully make three big salutes, I don't know if you dare!"
After listening to Pang Tong's words, Liu Shan scolded in his heart, what kind of problem should I be, isn't it just a salute?!
Immediately, Liu Shan said happily: "If you are not afraid of losing your life, it will be decided!"
Pang Tong glanced at Liu Shan, walked to the log, and shouted, "Big brother over there, come here!"
At this moment, there were still many workers building houses on the construction site, and a big man with bare arms came over.
Pang Tong said: "Distinguish the roots and the treetops, in fact, it is not difficult, people have age, trees have growth rings, the closer to the roots of the tree, the deeper the growth rings are more obvious, you only need to take the head and tail of the log saw, distinguish the color of the growth rings, you can distinguish the roots and tips." "
Immediately, he said to the shirtless man: "Trouble the big brother to see the log!"
The shirtless man smiled: "That's what I do, a little thing, it's nothing!"
Here began to saw wood, over there Cai Yong and the others were dumbfounded, what age of the rings, everyone still heard about it once.
Big trees have annual rings, which is known to primary school students in later generations, but you must know that this is in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and Pang Tong is only a teenager who actually knows it, and it becomes more and more extraordinary about him.
After a while, the two ends of the wood were sawn open, and everyone gathered around to watch, and sure enough, as Pang Tong said, the color became darker, and one side was lighter, and everyone nodded.
At this time, an old man came over, who seemed to be the one who built the house, and he said to Pang Tong: "It's really amazing, the old man I have been a carpenter for decades to realize this truth, I didn't expect the little adult to understand it so young, the old man admires!"
Seeing that even the senior old carpenter admitted that Pang Tong was right, everyone couldn't help but look at him with admiration, this is a strange-looking young man who is really extraordinary.
Pang Tong looked at Liu Shan, his eyes were full of provocation, meaning to admit defeat, hurry up and salute.
Seeing Pang Tong's gaze, Liu Shan snorted coldly and said: "Such a simple thing still uses such a stupid method, this wood was sawed twice by you, and it can't be used, it's a pity that it has grown for more than ten years!"
Pang Tongyi was immediately furious when he heard this, and said, "What good way do you have? Why are you laughing at me?"
Liu Shan smiled: "Say you're stupid, you still don't admit it, my method is much simpler than yours!"
Pang Tong sneered: "Who won't say big words, wait a while if you lose, don't forget to salute me!"
Liu Shan smiled: "Don't cry your nose for a while!"
So saying, he walked over to the log, lifted one of the roots, and threw it far away.
Seeing Liu Shan throwing wood, everyone was stunned, and said in their hearts, this is to distinguish wood, but it's not farther than anyone throwing it, is he crazy?
