Go back to the valley to farm

Chapter 108
Chapter [-] Liangzi Girl
Kudosaku rolled his eyes, bowed to the bamboo strip maker, and said, "Huang Sang, Kudosaku asks the school staff for advice!"

The school pole is straightening, which is also the basic skill of making poles. It is to use a piece of wood the size of a ruler, with round grooves of different apertures obliquely opened on it. After the bamboo pole is overheated and softened in a special furnace groove, it is put into the groove straight.

Really afraid to challenge the production of Gansao, Kudo Saku took this path.

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter had nothing to do, lit up the fire, and the two of them sat facing each other holding a bamboo pipe, and started to make it.

The stove is very special, it has a semi-circular lid with a wide slit in it for overheating.

As the two went too far, they looked straight at the same time.It took more than half an hour to put the bamboo tubes together. Please appreciate them.

Everyone couldn't see what was good or bad, but they saw that the bamboo poles that were a little bent just now became straight.

It was Masao Ikeda who commented: "The straightening process, fire roasting not only makes the bamboo tube soft, but also has the effect of removing excess water in the tube. The water in the Kudo root is not in place, so it is not as good as the yellow mulberry root. Now I can't tell the difference, but if it is left for half a month, the Kudo's root will become bent again."

After speaking, he patted the back of Kudou's hand and said, "Kudo, you still need to work hard!"

Kudosaku saluted Masao Ikeda respectfully: "Hi! Kudo understands!"

Then he bowed to Uncle Bamboo Carpenter and said, "Huang Sang! Thank you for your advice!"

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter waved his hand quickly, and said: "Hey! This is not a guy's business, it's not my own. It can be used by hand. You have nothing to say about your craftsmanship!"

Ichiro Yamamoto saw that the senior brothers couldn't please him, and felt even more empty. When he saw Tongjie's tools, he said, "Why don't I ask Huang Sang for advice on Tongjie."

After finishing talking, he picked up the drill bit and searched for motors all over the world.

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter took over the drill bit shaped like a small spear, inserted it into a disc on the ground and tightened it, then held the spear a few centimeters below the tip with his left hand, and stepped on a bit next to the disc with one foot. Pedal, and the spearhead turned.

Ichiro Yamamoto was dumbfounded: "Huang...Huang Sang, is this all handmade by you?"

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter said: "Come on, I'll step on the pedals for you. The speed control is generally difficult for novices, so you will be responsible for the passage."

Ichiro Yamamoto held the spear head, put the bottom of a bamboo joint on the spear head, and began to pass the joint.

While communicating, he made a fuss and yelled: "Yoxi! It's amazing! This must be well coordinated, and it works better than the motor!"

This process is not only used for through joints, but also for expanding the aperture. The core of the technology is that the thickness of the pipe wall after expansion must be consistent. If there is eccentricity, one side will be thicker and the other will be thinner, which is a defective product.

When two-thirds of the connection is reached, if the two of them fail to cooperate well, the bamboo tube will be destroyed.

Ichiro Yamamoto screamed angrily.

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter took another bamboo tube and said: "This step requires the coordination of hands, feet, and eyes. It is not easy for two people to do it well. You can only do it alone, just like this."

After speaking, start showing.

As the bamboo tube sinks, bamboo shavings fly out of the tube constantly.

"Pay attention when you reach the end of the knot, slow down the speed, come gently, hold your breath, and I will demonstrate next."

After finishing speaking, he stopped talking, his expression became more focused, and he gently sent the pole up and down, slowly opening the bamboo joints.

Yoshiko Ikeda looked at Uncle Bamboo Carpenter, his eyes almost dripped water, his face looked like a fan seeing an idol.

Everyone didn't dare to speak until Uncle Bamboo Carpenter completed the pipe, took out the bamboo pole, stopped the engine, and took off the drill bit. Then everyone let out a long breath and applauded.

Ryoko Ikeda slapped red, Ichiro Yamamoto screamed with excitement, Kudosaku looked admiring, and Masao Ikeda couldn't help nodding.

"Wonderful! It's wonderful!" Ikeda Masao carefully inspected the pipe wall, and said to the bamboo craftsman: "Huang Sang, we in Japan have given up this festival craft now, because it is too difficult! I can see it from you, I admire it, Ikeda admires it very much!"

Ichiro Yamamoto said: "Who is it next? Sister Ryoko, Sister Ryoko!"

Ryoko Ikeda was still a fan there, her eyes were full of little stars, until Yamamoto gave her a slight push and said, "Ah? It's my turn?"

This is the end, I ran to the uncle of the bamboo craftsman and bowed deeply, looked up with a shy face, and the words were trembling: "Huang Sang... Liangzi, Liangzi asks you to weave handles... please... please Give me a lot of advice." After speaking, he bowed deeply again.

This made Uncle Bamboo Carpenter at a loss, so he had no choice but to follow her and bow.

Weaving handles is meticulous work. Uncle bamboo craftsman took out two paper handles, gave Liangzi a roll of silk thread, and took out a bundle of processed wild sweet potato vines.

Starting to get started, Ryoko Ikeda took several deep breaths to stabilize his mind, and then began to weave the handle.

Starting from the joint between the end of the pole and the handle, using four silk threads as the warp and weft, Yoshiko Ikeda's small white hands are like flowers, and a pole handle slowly begins to take shape.

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter picked out a suitable wild sweet potato vine, cut it into filaments with a few brushes, and began to weave the handle of the rattan, but his eyes were not on his own handle, and his hands kept working, but his eyes kept looking at Ryoko Ikeda's hands.

Ryoko Ikeda seems to have noticed that Uncle Bamboo Carpenter has been looking at her, and gradually his face is glowing, and finally even the roots of his ears are red.

Later, even his little hands started to tremble, so he had no choice but to stop, rolled his eyes at Uncle Bamboo Carpenter, and said angrily, "Huang Sang, you will interfere with my work like this."

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter blushed and said embarrassedly: "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm fascinated by your exquisite craftsmanship, girl, go ahead."

After speaking, he retracted his gaze and continued with his own way of life.

Rattan silk is much wider than silk thread, and Uncle Bamboo Carpenter finished work earlier than Yoshiko Ikeda.

Having nothing to do, Uncle Bamboo Carpenter took another vine, cut the upper part into vine silk, and weaved a lamb's head, and then cut off the excess part with scissors.

Ryoko Ikeda finally finished editing. He exhaled, patted his chest, and said, "Fortunately, there is no embarrassment. This is the first time we edited so quickly."

Turning around, I saw that Uncle Bamboo Carpenter had already finished work, and everyone was looking at her and smiling.

Uncle Bamboo Craftsman said to Ryoko Ikeda: "I can't compare with you in this skill. The workmanship is really meticulous. Come on, Ryoko and girl, this is for you to play with."

Ikeda Yoshiko looked at the exquisite rattan-woven lamb head and said happily, "Huang Sang, this sheep head you made is really beautiful. Is this a hairpin?"

After speaking, he casually inserted it into his hair, and the elderly villagers around him laughed.

Li Junge quickly took it off for her, and said: "This is a sheep's head, also called 'mark'. In the past, when selling things in the village, a sheep's head would be inserted on the thing to indicate that it was for sale. The logo of our country's RMB is also derived from this, but The sheep heads made by the villagers are not as delicate as Uncle Bamboo Carpenter’s."

"You Japanese like to watch Three Kingdoms and Water Margin. In Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu regards Yan Liangru as 'inserting labels and selling heads'. In Water Margin, when Yang Zhi sells knives, he also puts a straw label on the knife. This is what he said. Good guy, Are you going to sell yourself to Uncle Bamboo Carpenter?"

Ryoko Ikeda blushed a lot, just twisted the rattan handle of the sheep's head with her small hands, but didn't speak.

Ikeda Masao came off the stage and said: "It is reasonable that I should ask Huang Sang for advice on the craftsmanship first, but this is really incomparable." Then he bowed to the uncle craftsman and said: "Huang Sang, next In a few days, please give me more advice."

Uncle Bamboo Bamboo Craftsman said: "You are too polite, there is actually no secret to this step of craftsmanship, it is just familiarity."

After speaking, everyone went to Li Junge's house, visited the fishing gear behind the house, and went to the back mountain to inspect the bamboo forest.

Li Junge has been secretly moving bamboos out of the space, and before he knew it, the bamboo forest was no longer small.

Li bamboo is very thin, and there are thousands of roots in this bamboo forest.

Masao Ikeda was quite satisfied after trying to cut a piece of bamboo. He chose a hundred suitable ones, tied them with labels, and agreed to harvest them in winter. The group returned to Jiuchangju.

After having dinner with them, and making an appointment to try fishing in Huluxi tomorrow, Li Junge said goodbye and went home.

Early the next morning, Li Junge drove the small iron boat under the farmhouse. The four Japanese, plus Si Xingzhun, Uncle Bamboo Carpenter, Zhang Lixin, and a total of eight people including fishing gear and photographic equipment, also filled the small iron boat. .

Along the way, everyone was full of praise for the scenery of Lijiagou.

The boat entered Huluxi, came to the edge of the second small lake, found a suitable fishing spot at the water inlet, and everyone got off the boat.

Ikeda Masao praised: "Li Sang, the scenery of the Calabash River is not inferior to that of Lake Biwa near our hometown."

He took out a fishing rod from his bag. The rod was not long, only ten feet. Ikeda Masao handed it to the bamboo craftsman and said, "Huang Sang, this is a rod I am quite satisfied with recently. Please give me your advice!"

Uncle Bamboo Bamboo Carpenter took it over and looked at it, and he was also full of admiration. He shook the pole, lightly and tenaciously, and said hello.

Looking closely at the inscription on the pole, it is the three characters "Guxiu Peak".

Masao Ikeda said seriously: "Huang Sang, I think your craftsmanship is worthy of this three-character inscription."

Uncle Bamboo Bamboo Carpenter smiled, took a fifteen-foot "Wuxi Bamboo", and said to Masao Ikeda, "Mr. Ikeda, you are welcome. Come and experience the strength of our Wuxi Bamboo. Please give me your advice."

Several people sat down on the fishing platform, which reflects the difference between China and Japan.

The Japanese all use the hera fishing method, sitting cross-legged and meditating, with cushions on the fishing platforms, and fishing boxes on the fishing platforms of the Chinese.

The bait is also different. In Japan, there are powder baits mixed with many bags of powder, and in China, it is all wheat fishing.

In order to experience the resistance of the "Wuxi barbarian", Li Junge directly used an eighteen-foot hanging corn bean.

Kudosaku and Yamamoto Ichiro also used the [-]-foot "Wuxi Barbarian", and Zhang Lixin used the "Into the Soul" given to him by Li Junge, which made him extremely excited, saying: "I can also experience a top-level Chinese pole, good luck Ah, come on, Yoshiko, take some pictures for us!"

Liangzi took Ichiro Yamamoto's camera and clicked to take pictures there, and Si Xingzhun also drove the machine to take pictures.

Powder bait attracts fish faster than wheat, and soon a few Japanese caught fish.
