Chapter 470: Fish Card
Chapter 470 Octopus Card

After speaking, he ran behind the plate, took a bamboo tube with a suitable inner diameter and inserted it into the handle, and began to shake the handle clockwise.

The twine was also tightly wound, and Ayin carried a pannier on her chest, which was full of hemp material, so she hurriedly added hemp to the end of the twine.

Continue to add hemp, and when the joints are tightly wound, Ayin starts to walk forward, controlling the hemp fibers with one hand, and arranging the rope with the other to prevent it from knotting.

Just like this, the thread was stretched and the thread continued to move forward. The farther Ayin walked, the thread between the two became longer and longer.

The cooperation became more and more tacit, and Li Junge turned the plate faster and faster.

Ayin has walked for more than 30 meters, almost reaching the forest, and Li Junge shouted: "Stop! I will take up the line, and you can come slowly."

Li Junge took out the hemp thread from the bamboo tube, wrapped it a few times on the bamboo tube, then hung the twine next to the bamboo tube and nailed it to a wooden hook on the cross, then went back to shake the handle, and shouted to A Yin: "A Yin, You can go back slowly."

Ayin started to walk back, and the stretched hemp thread began to slip through the wooden hook and tangle into a hemp ball on the bamboo tube.

When he came to the front of the cross, Ayin discovered that there was still a gap between the front of the bamboo tube and the hole.

Then thread the remaining end of the twine back into the bamboo tube in the same way. Ayin continued to hemp, and Li Junge continued to shake the wheel. After proficiency, the efficiency was considerable. It didn't take long for the two of them to make hundreds of meters of twine like this.

Ayin laughed and jumped excitedly: "Erpi, you are so powerful! We use spindles all over the mountains! I have never seen such a thing! This efficiency is really high!"

Li Junge took off the balls of twine with a smile, and said with a smile: "Don't be proud, you have to keep going. We will make three balls today, and we can make ropes in the afternoon."

In this way, by noon, the two got several balls of [-]-meter twine.

After a simple lunch, Li Junge began to transform the cross.

Use a drill to drill a few holes on the shoulders of the cross, take out two pieces of wood with the same turning point and place them between the shoulders and the arms, and cover them with two pieces of wood, leaving a groove in the middle.

It looks like a epaulet with a gap in the middle nailed to the cross.

Do the same on the other side.

Take two bamboo tubes and pass under the epaulets of the cross. The two bamboo tubes are placed on the shoulders of the cross and can slide left and right.

Li Junge brought two more plates similar to the device in the morning, except that there was no handle on the plates.

Thread the shaft of the disc through the bamboo tube on the epaulette.

I twisted a hemp rope with my hands, connected it into a coil, and put it into the grooves of the three discs.

Take a long piece of dry bamboo and stick both ends inside the two bamboo tubes under the epaulets of the cross.

The bamboo piece bends a big arc on the top of the cross, and the strong elasticity of the bamboo piece pushes the two bamboo tubes under the cross epaulettes outward, and the hemp ropes in the three wheel grooves are collapsed and tightened.The three axes collapse the loop into a roughly equilateral triangle.

Get a bowl of coconut oil and light all three shafts.

Then Li Junge started to turn the handle, and the hemp rope coil drove the other two wheels to turn accordingly.
Insert the three balls of twine into the three shafts and thread them.

The hemp ball was very tight. Li Junge hung the three hemp threads on the three wooden hooks next to the three shafts respectively. Here he turned the handle in the opposite direction to let A Yin lead the thread forward until he reached the forest by the grass. a big tree.

Knot the three threads together and tie them to a thick horizontal branch. Li Junge shakes the hemp thread back, tightens the thread a little more, winds and strangles it on the shaft head, and starts to shake the handle clockwise.

The three wires rotated with the axis again, and the torsion made them entangled from the horizontal branch of the big tree to form a three-strand rope.

A Yin took the Y-shaped wooden fork that Li Junge gave her, separated the three lines, and controlled the degree of their tightening. When she felt it was appropriate, she took a step back in the direction of Li Junge. In this way, there will always be three strands behind the Y-shaped wooden fork. The rope in front of him twisted into a strand, getting longer and longer.

When he was about to approach Li Junge, Li Junge stopped the device, released the end of the thread from the shaft, and Ayin walked forward with the wooden fork again, leading the new three-strand thread to the tree.

Untie the old knot, put a cable knot on a branch, Li Junge continued to turn the handle, Ayin cooperated, and a new rope was formed again.

After three trips, a [-]-meter-long, three-strand twisted, dense and uniform hemp rope lay on the ground.

The hemp rope is only as thick as a signature pen refill. Ayin looked at the hemp rope and said, "It's neither thick nor thin. What are you going to use it for?"

Li Junge smiled and said, "It looks fine, right? It's no problem to bear a hundred kilograms!"

Take off the detachable part of the cross and put it away, and put the twine back on the remaining spool.

Back at the wooden building, Li Junge took a length of hemp rope, threw it over the beam and tied it up at both ends, forming a coil, stepped on it with one foot, grasped the rope with both hands, and swayed back and forth on the rope: "Look, there is nothing wrong with swinging." question."

Ayin was also surprised: "Wow! So powerful!"

Li Junge said: "That's right, the hemp rope is much more powerful than the brown rope, and we can use the same method to continue twisting the three strands together to make a thicker one."

Ayin smiled and said, "Then shall we continue in the afternoon?"

Li Junge stroked his chin and said, "Ayin, are you getting tired of eating catfish?"

Ayin smiled and said, "It's actually not bad, now that you have salt and oil, you can make it so delicious."

Li Junge said with a smile: "Now that we have the line, we can change to another fishing method."

Ayin smiled and said, "But do you have a hook?"

Li Junge said: "Who said you must use a hook for fishing? Look at me."

Take a few reed tubes that were crumpled in the sun, and cut them into many small circles with a width of five or six millimeters.

Pick a dry bamboo, cut it into thin strips, scrape off most of the bamboo flesh, and cut off two centimeters from each end of each joint.

Then thin out the middle of the bamboo, and try to bend the bamboo strips until the bamboo strips can be bent together, and the two heads just touch one place.

The bamboo strip is opened and the ends are sharpened to a very sharp point, which yields a bamboo needle.

Take out the fine hemp thread that was rubbed first in the morning, cut it to a length of about one meter, and tie one end to the thinned part of the bamboo needle.

Just like this one by one, there are eighty or ninety bamboo needles piled up on the table after a while.

Pour the leftover cassava porridge in the morning into the Shau Kei, and filter out all the small cassava pieces.

Take a shallow basket and the last bundle of thick hemp rope and put them on the bamboo table. First pull out a few meters of rope and coil it into the shallow basket, then take a bamboo needle and bend it over, put a reed ring on it, Fill with two or three small tapioca cubes.

Tie the other end of the hemp thread with the bamboo needles to the rope, put the rope down, carefully place the bamboo needles in the center of the basket, and coil the thick rope around the outermost edge of the shallow basket.

Then do like this, tie a bamboo needle every one meter.

Soon a coil of rope appeared in the shallow basket, with bamboo needles bent to one point in the middle filled with bait.

The name of this thing is "fish card", which is used to catch vegetarian and omnivorous fish.

The reed rings were born in those days, and they will be softened in the water. When the larger fish come to eat, if the mouth touches the fish sticks lightly, the soaked reed rings will break and the fish sticks. Hook the fish straight and the fish is caught.

After eating catfish for a few days, Li Junge wanted to change his taste.

It was almost evening when the fish card was ready. Your Excellency Li Jun went to the lake, cut some bamboos and made a rough bamboo raft, tied one end of the thick rope to a big stone weighing five or six catties, and rowed the bamboo raft into the lake. Go put the fish card.

The lake is not deep, only four or five meters. First put the stones to the bottom, and Li Junge slowly lowered them towards the shore while straightening the fish line.

When the bamboo raft reached the lake, Li Junge took the thread to the edge of a bamboo grove and tied the rope to a bamboo pole.

There are no brats, so there is no need to hide anything. If you do this in Lijiagou, you will be taken away by the brats in no time.

Tow the bamboo raft to the shore.Li Junge went to collect raw lacquer again.

Put the raw lacquer into the bamboo tube and stuff it with a stopper. Li Junge didn't dare to take this thing back. A Yin often went to see Uncle Bamboo Carpenter, who seemed to be not allergic to raw lacquer, so it was difficult for the two beards.

Made a water-proof cap for the paint canister, and hung the raw lacquer canister on a sumac tree.

Went to the edge of the reed pond, took a handful of cattail cores in the water, and Li Junge went to the stream to fish out some cassava chips. After a day, everything was fine. It seemed that the cassava was fine, so I went back to add some vegetables to Ayin.

Pick out a catfish from the fish cage, wash and peel it, and bring it back together.

Back at the camp, shred the cassava and put it in water. It must be sticky when fried in a clay pot, so the big strainer is still used for deep frying.

This oil is still left over from frying catfish, don't be so particular about the wilderness.

After the cassava is fried, the remaining oil is poured back into the oil pan, and the cattail vegetables are fried. After frying, mix the cassava with salt, and serve as both a vegetable and a rice.

He grilled a few more pieces of fish, and stewed a bowl of fish head soup for A Yin with the fish head.

Also left a plate of cassava fried cattail for each of the two beards, and put two large pieces of grilled fish on top, and Li Junge and A Yin went to eat by themselves.

A Yin had already dried the new hemp in the afternoon, and when she came to the bamboo table, she saw it and smiled: "Hey, two dishes and one soup, life is getting better and better."

Li Junge shook his head and said, "I have to build a stove tomorrow, and this fire pit is still not suitable for me to cook."

Ayin laughed so hard that his eyes crooked: "That's right, Erpi's cooking is a big deal. Just now I saw you fried and stewed."

Li Junge said: "In the next few days, I will do hemp thread and hemp rope in the morning, carpentry at noon, heavy work in the afternoon, carry water and collect paint after the heavy work, and do manual work in the evening. I will not be tired if I arrange the work reasonably."

Ayin said: "Then I will make hemp rope and twine with you in the morning, collect in the afternoon, and weave in the evening."

After dinner, Li Junge asked Ayin to sift the pockmarks.

Ayin actually didn't know what he was going to use these pockmarks for, but what Erpi told him was always reasonable, so he just did it.

Li Junge went to soak the sauerkraut first.

Opening the mouth of the kiln, Li Junge took out the cooled kimchi jar, washed it with a basin of water, lit a small bundle of straw and threw it into the jar. The buzzing sound.

A Yin clapped his hands and said, "Haha, no problem! It's a good jar, but what do you use to soak it?"

Li Junge smiled and said, "What do you put in the fish in Miao's sour soup?"

Ayin clapped her hands excitedly: "Taro stem!"

First, dig out the galangal that Ayin collected during this period of time from the dry sand, scrape and wash it with a small bamboo slice.

Then pick up the stalks left over from cooking the taro yesterday.

After a day of drying, the taro stems have wilted.
