Chapter [-] Cutting the Rod
Gu Changchuan said: "Then I don't worry, Director Zhang, Mayor Huang, you can see if this is okay, I will call the comrades at the propaganda outlet first, let's not talk about whether it will be broadcast or not, and get the material done first. Be prepared!"

Both of them nodded in agreement, and Gu Changchuan went out to make a phone call.

A group of people sat down under the pergola, and Ai Yulian and Li Dongsheng brought tea to everyone.

Masao Ikeda said, "Unexpectedly, the scenery here is so beautiful, even the yard is so beautiful!"

Li Junge said: "Mr. Ikeda's reputation is too high. The trees around here are all new. The so-called 'the new painting of the tree house is not old, this person must be the Ministry of Internal Affairs'. It’s almost tasteless now, when you have free time, you can go and see the Li Family’s Ancestral Hall, or the ancient buildings around Pan’ao Township, it will be truly beautiful.”

While talking, the meal came up, all mushrooms, it was a mushroom feast.

Every time a dish was served, Masao Ikeda bowed and said, "It's too precious, it's really too precious."

Seeing that no one at the table was aware of it, Yoshiko Ikeda explained: "In Japan, such wild matsutake and chicken fir are sold in pieces, and the price is very high. I didn't expect that you can make a table here. My father You’re right, it’s really too expensive.”

Li Junge said: "Ms. Ikeda, please tell your father, tell him not to be polite, and eat as much as you like. Uncle heard that you Japanese like to eat mushrooms, so he specially asked someone to pick some in the mountains behind the village."

"You are also lucky. This season is the time when mushrooms grow in the mountains. It's really a coincidence that they come early."

Yoshiko Ikeda was holding a stewed pheasant soup with matsutake mushrooms and was translating with his father.

Li Junge said again: "If you don't like our taste, I can take you to pick it in the mountains. There are all ready-made pots and stoves here, and you can also cook according to your favorite taste."

Masao Ikeda said: "There are beautiful scenery, strong bamboo, powerful masters, and delicious delicacies from mountains and rivers. To use a famous saying in your country to describe it, it is 'Wu Hua Tian Bao, outstanding people and spirit', isn't it?"

Li Junge said: "Yes, but the beauty of my hometown is beautiful, but many people don't know it here. We plan to slowly promote Lijiagou, so that more and more people will come to Lijiagou, and more and more people will come to Lijiagou. people fall in love with Lijiagou."

Masao Ikeda raised the glass of ebony wine and said to Li Junge, "Li Sang, I've fallen in love with Lijiagou now."

Everyone laughed and walked together.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the banquet is not over.

The officials were all busy, and after a meal with them, Li Junge sent a few people away.It is Li Junge's personal idea that one person carries a bag of local products.

After eating, a group of people walked to the hut of Uncle Bamboo Carpenter.

At this time, Si Xingzhun came running out of breath, with a shelf on his shoulder and a machine in his hand.

Li Junge smiled when he saw it, and said, "Hey! The reporter hasn't arrived yet, why did you come here first?"

Si Xingzhun said: "You didn't notify me in advance, but Qiu girl sent me a letter, and I said that these are all website materials, can you have more nerves in your head at any time?"

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter took a group of people to visit his workshop, the bamboo forest in front of and behind the house, and the dried bamboo.

Ikeda Ryoko also went to the kitchen and walked around, and when she saw the pot and stove, her eyes were red.

Masao Ikeda also sighed: "Huang Sang's life is really too poor."

Li Junge said: "If it wasn't for the bitter cold, the plum blossoms would not be so fragrant."

Masao Ikeda nodded and said nothing.

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter took everyone on a tour, and introduced to everyone: "This is the first tool Piwa and I made. You can see that it is full of round openings of various radii, which are used to scrape the tip of the pole. I still learned from you back then."

Masao Ikeda said: "We still use this tool now, first glue four pieces of bamboo skin with a square cross-section into a strip, and then scrape a circle on the inner circle of the knife."

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter took out another blade with large and small right-angled edges on it, and said: "This blade can pull out four [-]-degree fan-shaped bamboo slices and put them together to form a pole tip, so that the bamboo skin will It is all distributed on the surface of the pole tip, which can increase the surface area of ​​the bamboo skin and increase the strength of the pole tip."

Masao Ikeda nodded and said, "It's just that the four pieces are not round enough, right? It's easy to put together four edges, and if you scrape it round, you will lose the bamboo skin and reduce the strength."

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter said: "That's right, so we developed this kind of blade." After speaking, he took out another piece, and the concave edges on it were all at [-] degrees.

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter continued: "This can scrape bamboo strips with an inner angle of 60 degrees, and use six pieces of bamboo to join together to form a pole tip. This solves the problem of roundness, and the strength is further enhanced."

After speaking, he picked up a bamboo stick and started to demonstrate.

Once Uncle Bamboo Craftsman started working, he would activate a powerful aura. Masao Ikeda and his two apprentices could not help but nod their heads, and Yoshiko Ikeda saw stars all over his eyes.

The uncle secretly said to Li Junge: "Piwa, that Japanese girl looks wrong at the bamboo craftsman."

Li Junge looked at Yoshiko Ikeda's high-end mulberry silk clothing, exquisite makeup, and elegant hairstyle, and then at the homespun shirt and unshaven beard of Uncle Bamboo Carpenter. He shook his head and felt that the uncle was thinking too much.

Si Xingzhun has already set up the camera and started to shoot.

After the demonstration, Uncle Bamboo Carpenter first took out "Wuxin Yiben" and "Zhiwuxi" and handed them to Masao Ikeda for appreciation.

Masao Ikeda pulled out the two poles, studied the pole tips for a while, and then handed them over to his disciples for appreciation.

Masao Ikeda said to Uncle Bamboo Carpenter: "Huang Sang, are these the batch of poles in the first video you shot?"

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter waited for several Japanese to finish reading, then took back the two poles, and said, "Yes, these two poles are still short of finishing touches, so I will let you be a witness today."

After speaking, he picked up the strip knife and chopped off several poles with one knife.

Everyone was taken aback, Ryoko Ikeda stood up and shouted: "Huang Sang!" She covered her mouth with her hand, but tears flowed down her cheeks.

Masao Ikeda patted Yoshiko Ikeda on the back and said, "Silly girl! Huang Sang is saying goodbye to yesterday, you should be happy!"

After finishing speaking, he sat upright with a solemn expression on his face, nodded to Uncle Bamboo Carpenter, raised his head again and said, "Huang Sang, congratulations on entering the Tao!"

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter raised his hand and asked Li Junge to take out five newly made poles from the house and hand them over to several people for tasting again.

Five new poles glistened in the sun.The inscription is silver hook and iron painting, "Wuxi barbarian"!
Masao Ikeda admired the handle first, and nodded incessantly. Finally, he put the pole together, shook his hands, and showed an incredible expression on his face: "So tough?"

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter laughed loudly: "How is it?"

Masao Ikeda gave a thumbs up: "Too strong to be unreasonable, worthy of the word 'barbaric'!"

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter said: "Actually, I was first inspired by you. When I first saw Jizhou Hegan ten years ago, I realized that a bamboo pole can be so exquisite. After that, Piwa I began to collect pole-making crafts from all over the country, and with reference to you, until now, there are only a few poles like this."

Masao Ikeda loved the 'Wuximan' so much that he couldn't take his eyes off it, and murmured, "You are also very good! It only took ten short years to restore the pole craftsmanship to this level!"

Uncle Bamboo Craftsman said: "The reason why 'Wuxi Man' is so strong is that craftsmanship only accounts for half, and materials account for the other half."

After speaking, he took out a bamboo tube from a bundle of bamboo and said, "This is it."

Masao Ikeda bent the bamboo tube and said in surprise, "Is this still Lizhu? Why is it so...'barbaric'?"

After speaking, pass the material to several disciples.

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter pointed to Li Junge and said, "It's time to ask him. He provided the material."

Masao Ikeda said, "Really? Li Sang, do you still have such bamboo?"

Li Junge scratched his forehead and said: "This is a bamboo forest on the mountain behind my house. I found them to be particularly hard, so I took them out and gave them to Uncle Bamboo Carpenter to try. Now I am planning to expand the planting. If Mr. Ikeda is interested, We can provide some bamboo, but the live plants may have to wait for a few years."

Masao Ikeda said: "Bamboo is also fine! We are willing to buy poles like Wuximan at a high price."

Li Junge said: "Uncle Bamboo Carpenter and I are also preparing to open a pole-making workshop. I guess we won't be able to provide much for the time being. We can only guarantee about a hundred poles a year. What do you think?"

Ikeda smacked his mouth and said, "Oh, I can't even make two bamboo poles. Forget it, I have too many things to do now. I have to take care of my disciples and take care of the affairs of the council. I can have one or two in a year." A boutique would be nice.”

"Leave the rest to the disciples to make the first and last joints, which can also improve the overall strength of my workshop and poles. In this way, I am willing to offer 16 yen for such a pole material. Li Sang must provide it, please!"

Li Junge was so happy that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear. He did not expect to make a business here. 16 yen is 100 yuan, and [-] bamboos is [-] million!

But thinking about the sky-high price of 70 yuan for a ten-foot rod and a rod by Masao Ikeda, I feel relieved, and he is not a fool.

Seeing Li Junge nodding his head in agreement, Masao Ikeda was even more elated, and said to his disciples, "Why don't we have a competition? Compete with Huang Sang?"

The disciples were a little bit apprehensive, and looked at each other in blank dismay, this pervert doesn't need a knife to make the tip of the pole now, a bamboo knife can do it, this is really incomparable.
