Chapter 460

Ayin smiled and said, "How is it? It's not that simple, is it?"

Li Junge rolled his eyes and said, "Then if I solve this problem, you can give me a kiss and call me husband!"

Ayin smiled and said, "Okay! I'll see how you divide it!"

Li Junge laughed: "Now I declare that one Ayin chi on this island is equal to sixteen Ayin inches! Smart or not, simple or not?"

Ayin ran away, giggling as she ran, "You're playing tricks! It doesn't count!"

Li Junge waved the ruler and shouted: "Why am I being stupid? Our ancestors divided it like this! Why did they use hexadecimal system in the first place? It is because it is easy to divide! Hey, come back..."

Leaving aside the matter of the ruler, Li Junge first went to check the clay ware made yesterday.

The pots, pans, spoons, and cups were all dry, so Li Junge brought a basket of sand, dried it on a stone slab, and put it in the Shau Kei.

Firstly, the vessel was roughly polished with sandstone, and then finely ground again with the sand by hand to smooth all the corners. Then, the clay pot was put into the pottery kiln, and a layer of For dry sand, put the plate in, put one, and sprinkle a layer of sand to avoid direct contact between the mud embryo and the mud embryo.

Then put the bowl, then the cup, and finally the spoon.

Finally, the kiln cover that was fired yesterday was dug out from the fire pond, the pottery kiln was covered, and the kiln was started to fire.

In the same way, heat can't be wasted, and Li Junge leans on wood and bamboo to bake them.

A Yin also went to collect firewood and collect it.

This time I brought a long bamboo pole to collect as much saponins as possible, which can be used for washing hair and clothes.

While managing the fire, Li Junge made bamboo rulers.

Once the bamboo ruler is made, it is easy to make chairs and tables.In one morning, Li Junge made two bamboo chairs with backrests and a square table, all made of bamboo joints.

In the middle, I looked into the chamber through the hole above the lid, and saw that all the utensils were burnt red.

It took four hours for the furniture to be ready, and the kiln was almost fully fired. Li Junge removed the fire, sealed the kiln hole and let it cool down slowly. When he was sitting on the chair and weaving the frame leisurely, A Yin came back up.

Seeing this picture of Li Junge, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Oh! That's amazing! In such a short time, the tables and chairs are all complete!"

Li Junge laughed loudly: "Not only are the tables and chairs complete, but the kiln has also been fired and is still cooling down."

Ayin said, "Then I'll put the things away and start cooking."

Li Junge said: "Make whatever you want, don't get tired, wait until I finish weaving this basket."

After weaving a shallow basket, A Yin asked Li Junge to eat, Li Junge shook his head and said, "A bird faded out of his mouth, why don't we set off this afternoon?"

Ayin smiled and said, "I don't care, it mainly depends on you."

Li Junge thought about it for a while, and said, "Oh no, we have to mow the grass in the afternoon, and the roof will be mowed in two days."

Ayin said: "How about we mow grass in the afternoon, set off later, spend the night on the beach, listen to the waves, and watch the stars."

Li Junge was excited when he was told: "Okay! I'll pick coconuts for you!"

After dinner, Li Junge still asked Ayin to take a nap, and saw a piece of wood with a hand saw, and sawed it off from the top to make a handle.

After thinking about it, he found another hard wooden stick, and put one end on the ground and the other end on his chest. The back of the hand saw scraped out a straight and round stick.

I took the stick to a length of one and a half feet with a hand saw, took a look at it, and found that it was too straight.

Find a few sheets of thin bark, apply boiled gum and sprinkle sand, and the bark becomes sandpaper.

Put the sandpaper on your hand, sprinkle a pinch of sand on it, hold the stick in your hand and rotate it to polish.

After a while, a round stick appeared in his hand.

Find the center of the circle at one end, draw a cross, and the saw cuts out the cross.

Then continue to use sandpaper to sand out a taper at the end with a cross.

Weaved a small circle with bamboo thread, tried to put it on one end of the cross of the stick, and it just fit in. If you tap the bamboo circle, the seam left by the cross will be clamped.

At the other end of the bamboo stick, Li Junge sawed out another character, which can be used to tie the rope in due course.

Next, find a piece of thick Nanzhu, drill a hole in the middle with the tip of the hand saw, and burn a small piece of charcoal on it while expanding the hole with the tip of the saw until it expands until it can pass through the round wooden stick.

Take out a few unretted hemp skins, rub the dry shells with your hands, and process them into ropes.

The rope is stuck in the slot of the wooden stick, and the two ends are tied to the two ends of the bamboo strip, which makes a pressure drill without a drill bit.

After thinking about it, mark on the pressure drill the shortest distance between the bamboo strip and the drill bit when the rope is fully opened, and then choose a suitable point from this position to the position above the cross of the drill bit, and wrap a few laps of hemp Rope and reinforced with resin.

He saw a rectangular piece of wood with a hand saw and placed it above the hemp rope circle. He carved the thickness of the wood on the stick, and scraped off the sides of the round rod between the hemp rope and the scale.

The ruler measures the center of the rectangular wood, saws the wood lengthwise, and uses a hand saw to cut a tooth in the middle. When the two pieces of wood are put together, there is a small square hole in the middle.

Then put the two pieces of wood onto the drill pipe, and the square hole just snaps into place on the square pole.

Once properly adjusted, sand the wood smooth with bark sandpaper, apply gum to bond them to the drill pipe, and tie the ends of the rectangular wood with rope to obtain a pressure drill with a gravity flywheel.

Put a bamboo nail in the cross groove, and lock it with a bamboo ring. Li Junge tried it on the wooden board, and the drill bit went well.

"Well, not bad, it works!" Li Junge was very satisfied.

At this moment, Ah Yin got up, came over and saw what Li Junge was holding, and said, "Huh? Isn't this the carpentry drill used by Uncle A Chong? But how can you use it without a drill?"

Li Junge said with a smile: "There is no drill, we can make one at that time. Let's go, let's see how the pottery is firing!"

Open the lid of the pottery kiln, and the color of the pottery turns red.

Li Junge carefully took out the pot and put it on the bamboo table. Ayin brought a bucket of water, and the two began to inspect the pottery.

Li Junge picked up the bowl, and the sound of pottery was obviously rubbed against the plate.

Picking up a handful of hay, Li Junge washed the utensils clean.

The texture of the terracotta is delicate, and Ayin's finger tapped on the cup, making a tinkling sound.He said happily: "What a beautiful cup."

Li Junge smiled and said, "It just works. Let's try it."

After filling all the utensils with water and putting them on the bamboo table, Li Junge said, "It seems to be all right now. Let's go to weed and see if it seeps when we come back."

Take two pointed poles and go to the grassland by the lake to mow grass. There are many grasses over there, including weeds, wild wheat, and palm trees.

After making six bundles, Li Junge picked four bundles, and Ayin picked two bundles, and returned to the camp to spread them out on bamboo racks.

Li Junge went to the hemp field again, picked up the hemp stalks felled that day, and bundled them into stacks to dry.

After everything was done, the two began to prepare their bags.

Li Junge took out a pair of baskets, threaded them with rattan canes, and began to put things in them.

The pottery has to be brought, and this one has to be wrapped in grass. It will be distressing if it is broken.

Rattan and bamboo threads are needed for binding, and they are also brought along.

I saw a lot of dried bamboo tubes, all with knots on both sides, and when the time comes, the container will be opened on one side.

Take the small dried fish and count it as dry food.

Bring all the saponins, this thing will be of great use in the future.

Fold the bark in half and tie it up. This is the scabbard, and insert the hand saw inside.

After everything was done and the basket was still quite empty, Li Junge took another dry bamboo tube, drilled a hole with the tip of a hand saw on the top side, scraped a piece of cork to make a stopper, and filled the tube with cold boiled water.

After everything was done, he took out from the shed the muddy bamboo tube that had been burned with the charcoal, the pressure drill without the drill bit and put them in the basket, and the wooden spear ground out of a hardwood stick in the hands of A Yin. Go out of the valley.

There was a bamboo wire basket leaning over A Yin's body, which contained two pebbles the size of goose eggs, and the riprap rope was also placed in it.He carried a pannier on his back, but it was empty, and led the way with a stick in his right hand, while Li Junge followed behind with a load and an empty bucket.

The mountain stream was murmuring, and Li Junge picked up a lot of flint along the way, and threw them into the basket.

When they found useful plants, they picked them up and put them in Ayin's basket.

When passing by a forest, the two were pleasantly surprised to find some plants with huge leaves growing on a small ditch.

Ayin clapped his hands and laughed, "Taro! Shall we dig Erpi?"

Li Junge smiled and said: "Let's keep it for now. Now we can only eat taro when we dig it up. We will dig it up when we are ready. Then even the taro stalks will not be spared!"

Ayin said: "What if I can't find it when I come back?"

Li Junge was triumphant: "As long as I'm in the mountains, I'll remember all the roads I've walked once, A Yin, don't worry!"

Coming to the place where wild bananas grow, Li Junge said with a smile: "Now we can boil sugar, there is no reason to let this go."

Tie the hand saw to a bamboo pole with rattan, and it took a lot of effort to saw off the ripe wild bananas.

The banana skewers exploded after falling to the ground, revealing the flesh full of big sunspots inside.

Ayin smiled and picked up all the bananas into the basket.

After walking for a while, there was a high mound of fine soil in the forest, which was a termite nest. Li Junge murmured, "Good stuff..."

A Yin said, "Do you want to eat termites?"

Li Junge shook his head and said: "I mean the mud! This mud is equivalent to being digested by termites once, and the organic matter has been absorbed by termites, and it is very fine. It is an excellent material for making pottery. After returning home, I will make it all The clay recipe is aging."

Moving on, the two of them came out of the woods and entered a meadow with a circle of coconut trees in front of the meadow.

In front of the coconut trees is the beach, from where the stream flows into the sea.

Looking at the sea, Ayin became excited: "Ahhh...we are here for the weekend..."

Li Junge couldn't help laughing: "Ayin has worked hard, and I have been in Lijiagou day and night, let alone weekends, and I can't go back to Miao Village for the holidays. You can have fun these few days, and the servant will serve you!"

A Yin giggled coquettishly: "Little Lizi!"

Li Junge bent his legs and said, "Je..."

A Yin laughed and said, "I want to eat coconut!"

Li Junge pulled a blade of grass: "Here!"

A Yin snatched it away: "I hate it! It's a coconut, not a leaf!"

Li Junge laughed loudly and said, "Look at me!"

Take a thick rattan around a coconut tree, and then around your waist, adjust the size by stepping on the tree trunk, wind the rattan into a rattan circle, and carry the handsaw with its sheath on your back. Li Junge Start climbing the tree.
