Xu Rongfa thought that the lie he concocted was perfect. Unexpectedly, because Ding Yi could help him raise money, how could he continue to lie? Xu Rongfa was confused for a moment.

"I'll go find my father right away. Maybe you don't need to be careful, manager," Ding Yi said.

"Wait a minute, how come your family has so much money? I don't mean anything else, it's just..." On the one hand, Xu Rongfa was really surprised, but on the other hand, he wanted to delay and see if he could come up with any more excuses. But Xu Qian cannot be allowed to see these two guys.

"There are still three thousand nails left in the broken ship. Manager Xu has also spent a lot of time in Jiyun City. Although our Ding family has declined now, we used to be a big family in Jiyun City. Speaking of which, Xu Ji from Qianmen used to be Or is it the property of our Ding family?" Ding Yi said.

Xu Rongfa remembered that someone actually told him about this many years ago.

"Xiao Ding, don't rush to find your father. Since I can borrow this money from your family, I am relieved. I didn't expect that your Ding family is still a rich man. Haha, there is no need to be in such a hurry, and neither does the second lady. It will come so soon. You go to eat first, and we will talk about the money when the second lady reconciles the accounts, ha." Xu Rongfa could only ask these two people to go down first, and then think of a solution.

"Then, Manager Xu, let me know when you need money. I will ask my father to prepare the money first. If you need it at any time, we will send it to you at any time." I am very happy to be able to help Manager Xu Ding Yi.

After Xu Rongfa waited for the two of them to leave, he couldn't help but worry again. He should think of a way to make the two of them leave Xu Ji temporarily.

While eating, Duoduo was of course concerned about Ding Yi's study progress.

"How, what's the gain?" Duoduo asked.

"Not yet. I don't know why I can't enter the study scene." Ding Yi said guiltily.

Putting a piece of braised pork into Ding Yi's bowl, Duoduo said: "Xiao Yi, let me talk about some of my experience. The first time I came into contact with puppetry was when my brother and I were in Tucheng, a small city located in the east of the empire. .Because of my body shape, every time Duowang went to work, I was left alone at home. The children around me bullied me, so I rarely went out every day. At that time, I was very lonely. My biggest wish every day I just hope that the sun will go down soon so that I can be with my brother Zai. One day, Dowang picked up a puppet that was thrown away. It was a puppet Tin Woodman. One of his legs was broken. The wires were still connected, and my head was smashed... Duowang told me that this was his stand-in, and when he was away, he would let this tin puppet play with me. My parents had been gone since I was a child, and it was Duowang who took care of me. I brought him up..." Duoduo thought of his brothers far away and couldn't help but feel a little lost.

"Where have I reached?" Duoduo asked.

"You said Duowang picked up a tin puppet." Ding Yi reminded.

"Oh, by the way, the puppet, that's the Tin Woodman puppet, that's my first puppet toy, although it's just a broken puppet, but I'm still very happy, it's my first toy, it It's Duowang's stand-in. I also gave it a nice name 'Duole'. I didn't want my brother's stand-in to be dilapidated, so I decided to repair it.

I carefully disassembled it, carefully disassembled every part of it, and carefully observed every part. I looked for all the tools and parts I could find, but I still couldn't repair Dole. Later, I I took Dole to a puppet shop in Tucheng and asked. The clerk in the store said that it would cost at least thirty silver dollars to repair Dole... I decided to do it myself

To repair it, I studied Duole every day during those days, every part, every mechanism, every formation... I ignored Duowang's dissuasion and was not afraid of others' ridicule. I went to the puppet shop every day to watch it. For this reason, I

He was also beaten severely by the shop owner...

But even so, I still went every day. Later, the store called the police. The police officer of Tucheng, Mr. Renzo, sympathized with me. He did not follow the advice of the puppet shop owner and expelled me from Tucheng. He even gave me a gift

I had a copy of "Elementary Machine Technique"... At that time, I was only focused on repairing Dole, and I didn't think of anything else...

He even stole my brother's meal money, which was enough for my brother and I for three days, to buy some parts. For this reason, Dowang and I had to eat gruel for a week...

I repaired Duo Le. When Duo Wang came home one day, I showed Duo Le to Duo Wang. That day was the happiest day for me. I saw Duo Le walking freely on the ground.

'Like a general on the battlefield, that feeling is more comfortable than eating any delicious food...

Later, I exchanged Duo Le for twenty silver dollars, because Duo Wang was ill, he was very ill, and we had no money to hire a doctor... Duo Le, as Duo Wang's substitute, really saved Duo Wang that time

I sold it to a puppet shop... Duole left me forever, but sometimes I still hear the sound of 'clang, clang, clang, clang' in my ears."

Ding Yi felt the same and his eyes filled with tears.

"Then why did you and Brother Duowang separate in the end?" Ding Yi asked.

"After that incident, Duowang discovered that I had a talent in this area, so he sent me to a puppet-making workshop and started my puppet-making career. I was only seven years old at that time. Later, I worked in the workshop

I learned a lot of knowledge from my teacher, who is a feather-level doll maker. He is a stingy and greedy guy. On the one hand, he is very harsh on us child laborers, and at the same time, he is careful that we will not learn his skills.

Will leave the workshop. So many core technologies are kept secret from us, but this is not difficult for me. I am the first to go to the workshop every day and the last to leave. I disassembled all the puppets he made, and then worked backwards.

After understanding his machine skills and memorizing all the formations that I could access in the workshop, I finally left the workshop. In the end, he didn’t even know that all his core techniques that he thought were secrets were

I learned."

"I am telling you this to tell you that there are two most important things in the learning process. One is enthusiasm, the enthusiasm for learning, the enthusiasm for knowledge, and the other is diligence.

The belief of not being discouraged. Xiao B, you are the smartest person I have ever met. But I have to say that smart people like you often have a problem, that is, you like to be opportunistic, but on the road of learning, there is also a problem in life.

In many aspects, you cannot be opportunistic, otherwise you will eventually fall into a big tumble on the road of life." Duoduo taught with sincerity and sincerity.

In fact, Wu Shuhui and Ding Zhaoding had said these words to Ding Yi countless times, but Ding Yi never listened. Even though they said a lot of words, Ding Yi was a little touched.

In the afternoon, Ding Yi couldn't sleep with his head covered like in the morning, so he followed Jia Shiyuan and Lu Shiji to learn how to make various mechanisms and formations. Although Ding Yi also memorized nearly a hundred formations, in actual production,

This is the first time for this opportunity.

Lu Shiji graduated from the Formation Technical School, which is a vocational school located in Qilin City. As the only intermediate formation technical school in the seven southeastern provinces, the school itself is

The Qilin sect of formation master Mo Lin is located in Qilin City. And the teaching staff of this southeastern formation school are mostly composed of members of the Qilin sect.

Formation is a knowledge that has a low threshold like puppetry but is not easy to master. Ding Yi is looking forward to learning some formation principles and basic formation knowledge from Lu Shiji, a major in the class.

Lu Shiji also liked this child very much, because he could still vaguely find the shadow of his own childhood in this child. He was also a very smart child prodigy when he was a child.

Ding Yi mingle happily with everyone. He enjoys such a working environment. While discussing some knowledge about formations with Lu Shiji to enrich his own insights, he also learned a lot of techniques through practical operations. It turns out that the manufacturing of formation disks

It's not just a matter of inlaying some primeval stones and simply connecting some wires, as I thought. It also involves many aspects of knowledge such as layout, drilling, cutting, plane geometry calculations, material application, and so on.

Although Ding Yi has learned part of the formation knowledge by himself, he only knows a lot of things in books in terms of actual operation. In terms of actual operation, he can only rely on some experience. And there is some knowledge that is not available in books at all.

The puppet used in the mine has twenty-six nodes according to the design of the parts, which means there are twenty-six array disks. Each array disk is different in size and even the materials used are different. They are basically based on the shape of a bull.

Designed with biological characteristics.

Ding Yi studied very seriously, and even completed several formations on his own. There was nothing new about copying the gourd, the only thing was that he increased his proficiency in using tools. Ding Yi has gradually become familiar with the entire process.

Ding Yi gradually speeded up the pace of work. Not to mention that this was really a job for which Ding Yi was quite qualified.

Ding Yi has a good memory. He can quickly and clearly remember the raw materials and other materials in the workshop, including placing materials, plate making, drilling, adhesion, cutting, splicing, routing, polishing, grinding... various processes.

Ding Yi worked hard and finished well, and his speed gradually increased. Originally, Lu Shiji made three array plates, but Ding Yi had not completed one. Later, Lu Shiji made three, and Ding Yi was able to complete two.

Block. This is because those tools are designed according to the size of an adult's hand, so Ding Yi doesn't feel comfortable using them.

Jia Shiyuan is a very good person. He is one of the few technical talents trained by his family. He came from Lengyancui and has been working hard in his family's workshop since he was a child. Although he is self-taught, he has rich work experience.

He likes the child Ding Yi very much. Not only because of Ding Yi's precocious wisdom, but also because of Ding Yi's simplicity from a poor family.

In Jia Shiyuan's mechanism room, Ding Yi was even more at home. Not only was he learning formations from Lu Shiji, but he also had some experience with the 'Mechanism Technique', a knowledge that had been practiced countless times in Ding Yi's association world.

For Ding Yi, the operation was even more comfortable. Apart from the stiffness in the operation techniques and the slight lack of operating experience, Ding Yi was able to keep up with Jia Shiyuan's pace, which stunned the two apprentices who were working with Jia Shiyuan.

The two people who were originally very hostile were somewhat resistant to the little boy who climbed above them with his "little cleverness". They were even prepared to watch Ding Yi make a joke, but in the end they were severely beaten.

Face. This little boy is a monster at all. Not only is he familiar with the theoretical knowledge of 'mechanism', but he is also proficient in mechanical principles. Apart from being slightly unfamiliar with the operation, this guy is no stranger to mechanism art at all. The key is that this little devil has come to Xu.
