Chapter 486 Bark Kettle
Chapter 480 Seventh Bark Kettle

As soon as he said it, Li Junge mixed a portion of varnish, smeared the bow body, and put it in the paint room together with the putty tire.

The bark is then taken out of the water, the bark is already as soft as leather.

Find two pieces of bamboo with suitable diameters, put them together into a flat tube, and align the bottoms.

After cutting a piece of bark, hold the bottom of the bamboo piece against the middle of the bark, wrap the bark on the bamboo piece, and roughly make two flat cylinders, so that there will be a bottom of the pot, and then tie it with hemp rope Pot steamed.

After steaming for an hour, take it out, the bark becomes softer, so it is re-wrapped and steamed again while it is still hot.

After steaming this time, remove the excess part from the lower part of [-] cm, leaving the side for bonding, and use a knife to cut many longitudinal slits on the upper part.

When the bark is dry to a certain extent, the bamboo slices are removed, and the bottom of the bark becomes a perfect pot body.

Boil the upper bark strips again until soft, and continue processing.

A bamboo tube is inserted in the middle of the flat tube, the soft bark on both sides is pulled over and attached to the bamboo tube, and tied with hemp rope.

Then pull the remaining bark over,
Take a ruler and a blade, and cut the strip of bark cut above into a trapezoidal elongated strip.

Find a bamboo stick and cut it into a cross section, insert a drill bit, wrap it tightly with twine as an awl, make holes in the trapezoidal part of the bark, and interweave the twine with twine to tighten it, so that the trapezoids are put together piece by piece.

Carefully collect them centimeter by centimeter, remove the excess bark within one centimeter, and slowly harvest a flat cone.

Finally, cut off the excess bark to obtain a cylindrical mouth with the same inner diameter as the bamboo tube.

In the same way, the two kettle embryos are carried out in turn, and the other is made while one is waiting. It also took a day to make the two kettle embryos.

For the next seven days, it was just normal life.

I made a few brushes out of bamboo rat hair. Every day, Li Junge polished the utensils in the morning and evening, then applied the primer to the table top and various putty tires, and brushed the bow to polish the paint.

After the pot embryo is dried, it is also pasted with putty, polished, and then putty is scraped on the outside to cover the pasted and bound place, one is reinforcement, and the other is beauty.

Then paint.

However, the paint on the kettle is special. Pour the varnish into it every day, shake it for a while, put the pot upside down, pour the paint out, then polish the outer body and apply the primer.

At the same time, other lacquerware are processed, and they are sent to the paint room together after the pot is dripping dry.

After finishing these, it is to carry water, carry mud, collect firewood, burn kilns, grow vegetables, collect, collect paint, and carpentry.

Ayin collects hemp, washes, weaves, collects paint, cooks, dries vegetables and fruits, and cleans.

What the two did together was to spin thread, make paper, and grind flour.

There are more and more things, and the space of the factory needs to be planned and utilized.

Put a shelf on the ceiling above the stove, and place a dustpan on it. Inside the dustpan are dried bamboo shoots. While keeping them dry, the flavor of the smoked bamboo shoots is also unique.

Below the shelf, there are dried smoked fish hanging.

The firewood and hemp sticks are put together and stacked behind and outside the stove, forming two small walls.

In the middle, Li Junge finally made a brush, fired a pottery inkstone, and obtained fine ink by using the water flying method.

A lot of square timbers were also modified, all of which have been planed, and these are the spare materials for future furniture.

The bamboo has been dried, and Li Junge has also started the wall design of the new wooden shed.

Put together the bamboo tubes one by one like building blocks, clamp the big bamboo pieces, and fix them with bamboo nails after punching holes.

The walls on both sides are the simplest. Although the height of each bamboo tube is different, there is no need to consider the windows. The width of three meters can be completed with more than ten bamboo tubes. Therefore, the walls on both sides are completed first, and now we are working on the wall behind. body.

A Yin's loom has also been modified, and the thread wheel has been improved again. The bamboo tube is replaced by a thin rotatable bamboo rod as the spool. After the diameter is greatly reduced, it is more convenient to adjust the tension after paying off the thread.

And after this transformation, a row of long wooden frames of the same length can be inserted into more spools.

Li Junge increased the warp by eight times, and the width of the fabric that can be woven has changed from [-] centimeters to [-] centimeters, which is about the same width as A Yin's shoulders. This greatly improves the efficiency of fabric production while maintaining the same speed.

……

In a blink of an eye, the No.20 eighth day of the event came.

Now the camp of the Chinese team has become more and more decent.

In the vegetable field, ten baskets of nutritious soil are dunked in every morning and evening, and the planting area is getting bigger and bigger, and the crops are getting more and more.

For all kinds of crops, including onion and garlic, Li Junge tries to only pick the leaves and keep the roots, so now there is a small ridge four steps long for onion and garlic.

The most common one is cassava, which is a high-yield crop here, and it is widely distributed on the island. There are now about [-] plants, and each plant has one or two roots, and the remaining branches have begun to pull leaves.

Followed by purple sweet potatoes, there are not many of them, there are about [-] plants, but the vines are very long, covering a ridge of soil.

Li Junge checked the roots. After more than ten days, the purple sweet potatoes grew rapidly in the soft and nutritious soil. The ones that were originally as thick as a thumb have now grown to one-third the size of a fist.

Then there is the taro, but this one is pitiful. Three or four big taro plants with leaves are used as food reserves.

In the four corners of the vegetable field, there are several blood-skin vegetables, and Li Junge picked some branches and inserted them next to them. If this is really going to be cultivated, it is probably the fastest vegetable to grow, just like Zheergen.

There is also a ridge of big coriander, which is also about [-] plants. Every time Li Junge cooks, he picks one or two leaves from each plant, which is harmless, and it is growing very vigorously now.

Finally, there are some small vegetables, such as ear root, purslane, ash purse, and shepherd’s purse, but ash and shepherd’s purse are already old, and they can’t eat them for this event. of.

Sunflowers were also found, but there were only three or five plants, and Li Junge was not willing to eat them, so they were all planted in the vegetable field.

The vegetable field is the Hsinchu Building, the roof has been rebuilt, and a [-] cm semicircular mud ridge is paved on the ridge, covered with three two-story bamboo tiles. Bamboo nails penetrate the three bamboo tiles and firmly connect with the mud ridge. nailed together.

The bamboo walls on both sides of the bamboo shed have been erected, and a pile of bamboo tubes are spread out in the dam, lined up side by side. This is the back wall that Li Junge is going to build. Two windows are opened and the ground is paved to form the shape of the back wall. Li Junge has Kong just punched holes on it to prepare for the next splicing.

Hsinchu shed is now a restaurant and woodworking area, with bamboo tables, woodworking tables, planing tables, a table for pulling bamboo sticks, various planed square materials, boards, and round bamboo sticks and round wooden sticks of various diameters. .

The small rectangular area created by the handover of old and new bamboo sheds was surrounded by Li Junge with waste bamboo materials. It was a small bathhouse, where two buckets of hot water could be carried over to take a hot bath.

Then there is the old work shed, which has not changed much, except that firewood, bundles of hemp sticks and other fuels are piled up in an L shape around the stove, and tweezers smeared with mud are added to the side of the stove, and a large pottery basin full of firewood ash is added.

When burning a fire, consciously take out some charcoal and bury it in the basin, and you can get a lot of charcoal after a meal.

There is also a thin bamboo tube with a hole punched in the center of the bottom joint, which is a torch.

There are pots and kettles on the fire.

Then there are many pots and pans beside the stove, there are oil pans, salt pans, and spice pans. In the spice pans, there are dried wrinkled orange peels, star anise, syrup, dried fruit, tapioca flour, and papaya powder.

There is even a thing against the sky that can be used to replace MSG-chicken floss.

A few days ago, Li Junge got two pheasants. In addition to collecting the chicken feathers, he also got the medicinal material of chicken inner gold.

Then Li Junge picked off all the chicken breasts, and made Lijiagou's small fire chicken soup with A Yin for the rest, and drank it deliciously for a few days.

Keeping the fire simmering, the chicken soup will not only not go bad, but also become more and more fragrant.

The breast meat was pulled into chicken floss by Li Junge with a bamboo shovel in a clay pot. Every time I add a little to the dish, it can enhance the freshness.

Then there is a bamboo stand with bamboo shovels, fences, and large pottery spoons hanging on it.

There is also a chopstick tube with a pair of chopsticks and a thin rolling pin inserted in it.

Behind is the paint room.

Dried bamboo shoots and fish are smoked on the stove.

On the other side of the wooden shed is a wooden frame, under which are all kinds of aged clay, and then chemical raw materials such as lime.

On one side of the wooden frame are two kimchi jars, inside which are pickled taro stems, sour bamboo shoots, and pickled ginger.

On the other side are several large baskets, which contain potato flour, cassava chips, shredded coconut, and pockmarked seeds.

The second layer of the wooden frame is all kinds of pottery, pots and pans, plates, spoons, and honeycomb ceramic plates.

There are also circular plates of various diameters, square plates, rectangular plates, trapezoidal plates, triangular plates, large and small wooden frames of different heights, all of which are painted with putty and push varnish, and are used by Li Junge as standard instruments .

With them, put the clay in the frame and roll it flat, put the board on it, the small iron piece, the pottery knife, everything, whatever you want, don't make things too fast.

There are also many semi-finished pottery embryos.

The third layer is some small tools, there are several tool boxes, which are respectively equipped with chisels, drill bits, and iron sheet cutting knives.

The other toolbox is full of bamboo utensils, two large and small iron foot compasses, bamboo knives of different sizes, and bamboo scrapers with various curvatures.

On the next shelf are ink fountains, set squares, rulers, compass with large bamboo feet, bark sandpaper, and pressure drills of various sizes.

There are two layers on the top, one layer contains some Chinese medicinal materials and seeds.Wrapped twine, twine of various thicknesses.

On the top layer are wooden sticks for hunting, wooden spears, steamers, and pot lids.

On the side of the shelf, there are several wooden nails nailed, and there is a coil on it, and several bamboo drying racks are hung on the coil.

When sleeping, the machete is also hung here.

On the bottom of the bamboo shed, there are all kinds of sundries, which are almost piled up into a wall.

In several crude baskets, there are waste bamboo, waste wood, wood shavings, bamboo shavings, and waste hemp wadding.

The strips of long bamboo meat after peeling were tied into several large bundles.

Logs, lumber, and rough planks were also piled up in a pile.

Then there are bundles of dry reeds, hay, reed wires of various thicknesses, and bamboo skin wires.

Going back to the front of the work shed, there is a stone platform next to the dam, not far from the ground. This is Li Junge's platform for making pottery embryos, under which a fire can be lit for baking.

Finally, there was an extra futon behind the table, which Ayin prepared for him because he thought he was always dirtying his pants buttocks.

Next to the table is a smooth thick wooden stick, which is used for rolling clay tablets.

There is also a half-section of logs sawn longitudinally, planed on the plane, and the machete at the back is reduced to a handle, which is a mallet for smashing mud and squeezing air.

Next to the workbench, there is a small water tank and a small mud tank.
