"You should be more cheerful and confident."
After the acupuncture, Ning Fei smiled and said to Jiang Xue.
At this moment, Jiang Xue was lying in front of him. Ning Fei knew that it was not appropriate for him to stay here like this. After putting away the silver needle, he stood up and walked out.
"Guanzhu Ning." Jiang Xue suppressed her shyness and shouted with a flushed face.
"Huh?" Ning Fei turned around.
"Well, can you wait a moment? I want to thank you personally." Jiang Xue said.
At this moment, Jiang Xue had already sat up from the bed, her fair skin covered with fragrant sweat, and a strand of hair sticking to her cheeks, making her look even more charming.
"Okay, Jiang Feng just wants to treat me to dinner, I'll be outside."
After saying that, Ning Fei left.
Ning Fei's expression was calm, but Jiang Xue was a little disappointed.
Afterwards, Jiang Feng invited Ning Fei to have a meal at the best hotel in Qincheng, and Jiang Xue also followed. The three of them talked and laughed. Jiang Feng was very grateful to Ning Fei, and their relationship gradually became familiar.
In the afternoon, Ning Fei returned to Qingfeng Temple.
Yong Tao drove a truck over, and what was pulled behind the truck was the camphor tree.
"The formalities are completed, your wood." Yong Tao said with a smile.
"Well, just leave it on the roadside." Ning Fei looked at the camphor wood and smiled with satisfaction.
"You can do it now, the Taoist temple has become so beautiful." Yong Tao knocked down the camphor wood from the car, then got out of the car and said.
"It's still under construction, and the complete effects haven't been released yet."
"Ning Fei, let me tell you the truth. When I was in high school, I thought you were the most special. I didn't work that hard at ordinary times. You were ranked first in every exam. I think people like you will definitely stand in Kyoto and in the future. People at the top of a city like Pudong.”
Hearing Yong Tao's words, Ning Fei shook his head and said with a smile: "Stop it, there are so many cities and so many schools in the country, and there are more and more senior students every year. How can it be so easy to get famous? Not all of them have graduated. Come out to work.”
"You are different, really different. Not only do I feel this way, but so do others. You are the one who seems to do everything with ease."
"Okay, okay, don't talk about this. Let's have lunch at my place." Ning Fei smiled helplessly.
Yong Tao also shrugged. He didn't understand why Ning Fei came back. Is it really for the inheritance of Taoism? This is the 21st century, this concept has long since disappeared, and no one will believe it anymore.
"I guess I can't eat anymore. There's something wrong at the golden monkey sanctuary. We have a colleague, the golden monkey ranger, who hasn't come back yet. I have to go and take a look."
"What else is going on? Who is it? Lao Zhang?"
"Well, there are too few people willing to be wildlife rangers now, and only Lao Zhang is willing to do it."
"Okay, then please pay attention to your safety."
"By the way, we agreed that you will be my best man. It will be fine on my wedding day."
"Don't worry, I will crawl over even if you crawl!"
"Hahaha, I'll wait for you then!"
Then, Yong Tao drove away in the truck.
Ning Fei knew that Yong Tao also loved nature and animals, and was willing to protect him here.
There are many people who like animals, but few are willing to dedicate their youth.
Everyone prefers a different lifestyle.
Now that the camphor wood has arrived, Ning Fei can make the next step.
He went to borrow tools from the carpenter in the village. After returning to Qingfengguan, he explained to netizens:
"Dear viewers, next I will have camphor wood to make two plaques."
“Traditional carpenters’ tools are now rare, and most have used machine tools. However, since the process of making the plaque is not complicated, I plan to use traditional carpenter’s tools to make it.”
"square, saw, plane, chisel, wood file, ink fountain"
Ning Fei took out the tools one by one.
"I'll go, the anchor can do carpentry work."
"Isn't it just to make a plaque? Just cut a small wooden board and make it."
"Well, strictly speaking, wood products have very high requirements for precision. That's why it's all mechanized now. It's very difficult to make a plaque using traditional crafts."
"It's so easy to chop. Can you try to chop off a piece?"
"This is delicate work, don't think it's that simple."
"yes."
At this time, Ning Fei had already raised his ax and started chopping camphor wood.
When working, it was inconvenient to wear a robe, so Ning Fei changed into a pair of wide-leg jeans and black half-sleeves. This kind of clothes is not afraid of getting dirty and can resist sawdust.
"The plaque at Qingfeng Temple is about 1.2 meters long, so we cut off a slightly longer section."
Ning Fei struck with the ax head one after another. Each time the ax head struck, a mark would deepen on the tree trunk. After about a dozen blows, Ning Fei chopped off the excess wood on one side.
This scene also has a sense of violent aesthetics.
"My family is in the timber industry, and Guanzhu Ning can actually cut down such a thick trunk of a tree so quickly. It's amazing!"
"Comer, tree trunks are very difficult to cut. They are usually cut with machines. This anchor is so powerful."
“I didn’t believe it when I heard that some people do traditional woodworking, but after seeing this one, I believe it!”
Then, Ning Fei cut off the other side of the trunk, leaving only a thick piece of wood.
After that, slightly reduce both sides to make a rough shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, measure the distance with a square, and use a saw to cut out the mold of the plaque first.
"Now that the mold is made, all that's left is polishing and planing. Generally, carpenters will prepare three types of planes, namely rough planing, fine planing, and smooth planing. I use all of them."
“There are also groove planes and line planes at the back, which are relatively professional tools.”
“When using a plane, be sure to use downward force instead of simply pushing forward.”
Ning Fei explained.
He began polishing the plaque.
The plaque that Ning Fei made with a saw is a rectangle that is concave inward, with bevels on the four sides, which can highlight the large characters in the middle.
The netizens who made wood just now were amazed when they saw Ning Fei's actions.
Ning Fei's movements were very skillful, and he looked like he had done carpentry before.
After planing, Ning Fei used a groove plane and a wire plane to outline the lines. This skill also amazed everyone.
"This anchor is very good. He is an expert in the art. I have been carpentry for about ten years, and the anchor's basic skills are very good."
"Yes, it's very rare for traditional carpenters to have this level of expertise."
"What? The outdoor anchor can also do carpentry? Oh, it's Ning Guanzhu, then it's okay."
"No matter what I see Ning Guanzhu doing now, I'm not surprised, I even think it's natural."
“It turns out that there is so much to pay attention to when making a plaque.”
Ning Fei concentrated on making the plaque. Although the camphor tree had died, the unique aroma of the camphor tree was still there. This aroma can repel insects and refresh the mind. It is a rare treasure.
Ning Fei polished the plaque bit by bit, polishing every corner and every detail carefully.
Ning Fei has a very good advantage, that is, he is very focused on doing things.
There is a saying that men are very handsome when they concentrate on one thing. That kind of focused eyes and serious expression, coupled with a strong body, makes male hormones explode.
After the plaque was polished, the basic appearance came out. The plaque was square and square, with sharp edges and corners, making it look particularly grand.
"Good job!"
The ten-year woodworker couldn't help but admire it.
As an expert knows, the plaque made by Ning Fei has a very smooth and flat surface. It looks like a mirror. The angle of the bevel is consistent from beginning to end, and the workmanship is neat.
The simpler the geometry, the more difficult it is to make it, because it requires higher details. However, in Ning Fei's work, the details are handled perfectly, and there are no flaws at all.
"Master Ning Guan does such a good job!"
"I feel like something is not right. How do you know that Guanzhu Ning is good at his job?"
"I've felt it, hahaha!"
"6666!"
Netizens are happy again.
After that, Ning Fei followed suit and made a second plaque. The second plaque is slightly smaller and is the plaque of Sanqing Hall.
"The prototype of the plaque has been completed, and the next step is to engrave it."
"Before engraving, you should first write the words Qingfengguan with a brush, and then use a file or other tools to carve out the words."
Ning Fei looked at the two completed plaques and smiled with satisfaction.
"The anchor plans to engrave the words himself?"
"Laser engraving is very convenient now. Generally, engravings on wood are laser-engraved."
“Hand-engraving is too risky and prone to imperfections.”
"Yes, it feels quite difficult."
When Ning Fei saw the barrage, he just smiled and said:
"Qingfeng Temple is my Taoist temple. I want to make these two plaques with my own hands."
