technical type

After the qin body is assembled, the next step is to clean the surface, and then paint and wrap it with cloth. Once the transparent primer is applied, the wood color will have a moist feeling soaked in time, and then it will be evenly mounted with linen cloth , wait for the shade to dry.

During this process, Cao Mu told Ji Mo a lot about violin making, which he "learned secretly". Mr. Cao would tell his two elder sons about violin making, violin school, violin art, Qin history, piano scores, etc., when I am interested, I will also play two pieces with the piano.

The guqin at this time should be different from the modern ones. Ji Mo didn’t pay much attention to the appearance of the qin in the modern era. He thought that all the guqins were so long. He didn’t know that there are actually many styles of the guqin, not all of them. a mold.

Even the sound should be different, at least the volume is different, the sound of the guqin playing is not so loud that it can be heard down the mountain, and it can't even be heard in the surrounding small forest.

This kind of playing is probably more for self-entertainment. If there are many people and lively occasions, I'm afraid you won't be able to hear such an elegant sound-the sound is too low!

I don’t know how the modern guqin transmits sound... Ji Mo looked at the old guqin in the box. It is said that it was handed down from the Cao family’s ancestors. Cao Mu opened it for Ji Mo to see, and it was wrapped in layers of linen. The shape of the piano box is rough, it looks like a piece of broken wood, the scars on the wood are still there, and the eyes are densely packed, which makes it look ugly.

But the qin inside has the ancient elegance endowed by time. Cao Mu took it out on purpose, pointed to the various parts on the qin, and explained to Ji Mo that the parts that needed to be installed before were all clearly shown in this sample. up.

The next step is the maintenance of the guqin, and it can be repaired if it can be done. In this regard, Cao Mu has done a very meticulous job. Ji Mo has never touched all kinds of ointments, and it takes a lot of time to know everything. Time, not to mention knowing how to use, even the order of use can not be wrong, this is really particular.

In order to make his "talent" more tangible, Ji Mo stopped playing chicken in the afternoon, and repeatedly thought about what Cao Mu said in his mind, and the pictures in his memory reappeared again and again, and he still had to bring the dubbing kind of.

Not a genius, but pretending to be a genius, there is always a price to pay. During the two days of drying in the shade, Ji Mo fell ill, and Ji's mother almost refused to let him recover from his illness, and then came here every day.

"Mother, I want to learn from Master. My brother has already made an agreement with Master. I will pass when I recover from illness."

Ji Mo lying on the bed looked a little weak, his health was not good, not as good as in the previous world, Ji's mother was not considered young when she gave birth to him, and he never expected to have a second son from the beginning , Lost in maintenance, the child was almost lost without knowing it, and it is not easy to keep it through all kinds of hardships. It is understandable that the child born is weaker than others.

Usually when you are not sick, you don’t feel it. You look like a good child. Once you are sick and lying there, Mother Ji can’t bear it. Ji Mo is still not doing well. She cried and swollen her eyes first. She only said that it was her own fault. some type of.

Ji's father couldn't help comforting him from the sidelines. To him, Ji Mo was lucky to have a son who seemed to be missing, so he had some faith in his fate.

The gloomy clouds at home gave Ji Dalang a lot of experience, and when he sent Ji Mo to Cao Mu, he told him more: "Look at him and pay more attention, he is not in good health."

Ji Mo, with a round face, smiled and became even fatter. How can he tell that he is not in good health?

Cao Mu took a look at Ji Mo, and was dazzled by his smiling face, his eyes were a little disapproving. At noon, he still took him to the mountain to learn how to make a piano, and said to Ji Mo: "It can be seen that you are ill, and you didn't miss it. Gray tires, otherwise, it may take several years to see me do it again."

In the wooden house, besides the qin handed down by the Cao family, there are also a few wooden planks stacked on the side facing the door, which should be the shade-dried wood that was prepared early. If you want to make another qin, you can just use the materials directly , but this kind of thing is expensive and fine, and there are still a few elegant people who can play it. Cao Mu is not in a hurry to make the next one. According to his prediction, after this one is ready, he will prepare to play it. He took the violin and left.

Thinking of this, his eyes fell on Ji Mo, this little apprentice, should he bring it or not?

"Master, don't worry, I will study hard."

Ji Mo vowed to assure that he was serious about the craftsmanship of violin making, and he really felt a sense of urgency.

[Main task: luthier. 】

[Current task: professional knowledge learning - (32/100)]

Every bit of knowledge I have learned, I don’t know how much, how to quantify it, the system will directly convert it into the most intuitive data, let him clearly understand where he is going according to the scale bar of "100", and he will know when he sees it Gap, know hope.

Cao Mu nodded slightly, and directly started the gray tire process. Before starting this step, you need to prepare three types of ash with different thicknesses, which are coarse ash, medium ash, and fine ash. Use coarse ash first. This ash is antler cream mixed with large Made of lacquer, it is essentially a kind of glue. Antler cream is the bone residue left after boiling the antler glue. This kind of thing has good adhesion after being mixed with lacquer. After a layer is applied, it is left to dry in the shade.

"Is this enough?" Ji Mo doesn't quite understand what a gray fetus is, and Cao Mu's explanation is just the set of "the fetus is like a human garment". If you want to study it carefully, the other party doesn't know the reason. It's like people who don't know buoyancy can learn to swim. How can the principle of some things not affect the production and use? Maybe only the founder knows why there is such a step.

Ji Mo has a little research on some aspects, and I really want to know whether the gray tire is for aesthetics, or for anti-corrosion protection, or to further increase the sound of the guqin's built-in speakers, making the sound more bright and antiquity?

My hands are a little itchy, I want to try a few different ones myself, and compare the effects later, at least from the current state, the guqin at this time has no aesthetic feeling at all, and the layer of coarse ash sticking on it is really disgusting. Kind of ugly.

"After it dries in the shade, it will be sanded, then filled with ash, then dried in the shade, and then polished. The same method is used for the medium and fine ash after that. This process is a bit long, and the time must be grasped."

As Cao Mu said this, he had already thought about it in his heart. The time cycle had been arranged long ago, and he could just follow it later. There was no need to explain these things to Ji Mo immediately.

"Oh."

Ji Mo nodded his head as if realizing, and wants to dry again!

Since he came into contact with piano making, there are really many steps related to drying in the shade. In this regard, Ji Mo sorted it out a little in his mind, thinking that he will summarize it after reading the entire production process. This is also a part of the technical points.

Drying in the shade depends on the weather. It only rained yesterday, and today is cloudy again. The ground is not dry yet, and the road up the mountain is not so easy to walk. Ji Mo was carried up by Cao Mu, and the same goes for going down the mountain now.

Cao Mu's back is a bit hunched, it's natural, when he is carrying it, it's like being pushed on a peak, the peak facing his chest is very uncomfortable, but Ji Mo didn't make a sound, stretched his small arms and worked hard Holding his neck tightly, this posture was also not comfortable enough for Cao Mu. How much the child's arm circumference can be, it is obvious that the neck is a bit constricted, and even the pace is a little faster.

After going down the mountain, Cao Mu put Ji Mo down, and both master and apprentice heaved a sigh of relief. One was afraid of falling off when they were on the "mountain" of the mountain, and the other was that they didn't have to be strangled at last. It's like keeping a common secret, and everyone gets something.

After walking not far, when they saw Ji Dalang, the faces of the master and the apprentice were not as relaxed as before.

"Did you take Saburo up the mountain?"

Ji Dalang was a little bit dissatisfied in his astonishment. In this kind of weather, the mountains are often more dangerous. Anyone with experience knows that you should not go up the mountain when it is raining, and you should not run up the mountain even when the ground is not dry.

"Sanlang is still so young, why do you..." He didn't talk about Cao Mu's going up the mountain, life forced him to go up the mountain for some reason, but Ji Mo...

"Brother, this is what I want to go up the mountain, and I want to be with Master!" Ji Mosheng was afraid that things would go wrong, God knows how Ji Dalang would come here at this moment, in those days before, the two brothers were together in the morning and evening, at noon Ji Mo They always eat in advance, and they won't join in the fun with the Cen's family. If they can run with Cao Mu early, Ji Dalang won't look for him again after eating.

This is really the first time that he was caught by Ji Dalang. Usually, Cao Mu would avoid people when he went up the mountain. If Ji Mo hadn’t met him for the first time, he was at the foot of the mountain, watching him go up the mountain with his own eyes, and no one would have noticed at noon. Cao Mu lived in the mountains.

The women in his family never cared about what he would eat if he didn't come back at noon. They had all seen Cao Mu making cakes at home.

Cao Mu, who was treated like an adult, was ignored except that Mrs. Cao would ask some daily trivial matters when she took money from him every month.

"Sanlang, which one is your elder brother? You are facing him like this!"

As soon as Ji Mo interjected, Ji Dalang turned his attention immediately, that kind of distressed little eyes really didn't look like an adult who was about to get married, but more like looking at a heartbroken man.

Cao Mu folded his arms and watched, only when Ji Dalang turned his eyes to him, he showed helplessness, and said: "I can't help it, Saburo must follow, I have to take him with me, don't worry, nothing will happen .”

Unceremoniously, he pushed the blame on Ji Mo's head. Ji Mo took a look at Cao Mu. Although he was planning to take over the conflict so as not to worsen the relationship, being pushed like this is really mixed Chen, master, master, you are such a master.

"You, you..." Ji Dalang didn't know what to say anymore. He was never a sharp-tongued person, and he was stunned at the moment, and he was surprised by Cao Mu's answer. Therefore, the other party was fulfilling the duty of coaxing the child. ?Anyway, he is a good person, so he seems to have nothing to say, but... Ji Dalang, who was in a tangle, was messed up by Ji Mo and turned the topic, and finally stopped talking about it to Cao Mu, and promised Ji Mo not to tell his parents about it .
