I went ashore by weaving straw shoes and became a master craftsman

Chapter 198
According to the assessment rules, the bamboo strips on this half of the bamboo stalks are all divided horizontally.In the previous life, if the two- or three-node bamboo stalks were divided into strips, Wang Nanxing usually divided them vertically.

The disadvantage of horizontal division is that it is slow and delays work. The advantage is that it is easier to control the width of the bamboo strips.

let's start.She holds the second half of the stalk (bamboo head) in her left armpit, with the bamboo tip facing outwards; the bamboo flesh facing upwards, and the bamboo skin flushing downwards;

At this time, the right hand holding the bamboo knife must be close to the bamboo skin, so that the bamboo knife can be used like an arm.

Now almost a craftsman can stare at an examinee. Wang Ge adjusted his eyes so that he could not see the craftsman from the corner of his eye, otherwise he would be distracted.The main point of horizontally dividing the bamboo strips is the position of the bamboo knife. Try to keep it, and push the bamboo outward with your left hand (the right hand should also use force, otherwise the bamboo knife will be pushed far away). When pushing five inches or six inches away, stop slightly , The right hand slightly turns the bamboo knife sideways (clockwise).

click...

Bamboo split.

Continue to push the bamboo, with a distance of five or six inches, pause slightly, and turn the blade sideways.

click...

push bamboo.

When reaching the position of the bamboo joints, pay attention, it is best to use the method of turning the blade sideways to cut through the bamboo joints (if you do not use this method, if you come directly to the bamboo joints, your left hand must firmly pinch the bamboo joints that are cracked due to inertia).When crossing bamboo joints, it is most likely that one side of the bamboo strip is wide and the other side is narrow. You can press the blade in the direction of width to adjust it back.

From the end of the strip to the end, the splitting inertia of bamboo is very strong. In order to prevent it from splitting to the end in an instant (if there is a difference in width at this time, it cannot be adjusted), just like passing through a bamboo knot, the left hand pinches the gap between the bamboo strips on both sides of each split , the position of the pinch keeps moving back with the position of the blade.

Click, click, click...

Until a bamboo strip is finished.

Continue to strip the second root.

Note that the process of stripping bamboo strips horizontally is to first finish the bamboo strips with deep cuts (each with a width of six minutes), and then split them one by one again, and then chop the bamboo strips with shallow cuts.The bamboo strips at this time are the standard for the three-point distance.What's more, after the bamboo strips of the deep split are finished, the bamboo joints on the inner wall must be removed before splitting again.

In the process of dividing the bamboo strips horizontally, the craftsman’s assessment criteria are as follows: First, when the bamboo strips reach the bamboo joints, do the examinees have a technique for pinching the gaps in the bamboo?Or make the bamboo stalk split to the end?Without this step, even if the bamboo sticks happen to meet the standard of splitting, they will be eliminated.Secondly, when removing the bamboo joints on the inner wall, is the blade clinging to the inner wall of the bamboo?This step can only be cut once with a bamboo knife, and if the bamboo joints on the inner wall cannot be cut with one knife, it will be eliminated.Then check whether you can control the angle and strength of the blade.

Time passed quickly, and Wang Ge was also busy.The horizontal strip ends, and the vertical strip begins.

Pick up the other half of the bamboo stalk that was put aside just now, and use the end of the bamboo knife (hand grip) to wedge it in from the first deep cut.Vertical splitting can best use the inertia of bamboo splitting, but remember, this is not a single short bamboo stalk, but a bamboo stalk in the middle.Bamboo knife must not be cut directly from the top, otherwise the bamboo will be twisted and split.You should pinch the split gap tightly with your left hand, lift the bamboo stalk with your right hand quickly and lightly, and gently smash the bamboo towards the ground. Following this rhythm, the blade will go down, down, pause, turn the knife, down, down, Pause, turn knife, always cycle in this way.

Remember, this is a competition, not ordinary bamboo strips. It is allowed to throw away waste and allow continuous correction of width.Both horizontal and vertical strips can only be corrected once, because the assessment requirements must include this.Any other differences in width and narrowness will be discovered by craftsmen and judged as mistakes.

Boom!
The clock beats.

The craftsmen inspected all the bamboo strips. Except for the two wide and narrow bamboo strips that were allowed to be corrected, the first end, the tail end and the bamboo joints of the other bamboo strips could only pass through at a three-point distance.

Contrary to many people's expectations, the requirements for horizontal and vertical strips are so cumbersome that no one is eliminated.But when you think about it, this is normal. The reason for the failure of the first two items is basically the wrong prediction of the time period of the steps, not the lack of skills.

Boring!
The fourth step is also the last step to start: three swords to keep the green strips!
This test is the bamboo craftsman's understanding of the cross-sectional structure of bamboo stalks: bamboo green, bamboo yellow, and bamboo flesh.

Only one piece of bamboo is used in the whole process.

The bamboo strips selected by Wang Ge: the length is more than three feet and four inches;

One knife one time!

The first knife: remove the yellow strips.

Important: Remove most of the bamboo flesh, the part removed is thicker than the one left.

The right hand fixes the knife and the position where the knife meets the bamboo stick; the left hand pinches the bamboo stick tightly, with the bamboo green facing up and the bamboo meat facing down; The place where the knife meets the bamboo; squeeze the blade into the bamboo.

Push bamboo!

During the process of pushing the bamboo, try to stabilize the position of the bamboo knife and do not shake it back and forth.When pushing the bamboo stick to the blade with the left hand, you have to use your strength, because the bamboo stick is not stable, and the knife is useless no matter how stable it is.And the thumb holding the knife was always pressing on the split bamboo green.

Push bamboo, push bamboo...

The knife surface should always be close to the bamboo yellow.

Push it to the position of the bamboo joint, hold the position behind the bamboo joint tightly with the left hand, and the moment it passes the bamboo joint, the bamboo knife in the right hand is raised and lowered quickly, splitting through the bamboo joint, which is equivalent to a carbine return.

It's the bamboo festival.

Keep pushing the bamboo...

Boom!When the timing drum rang, Wang Ge wiped away the sweat that flowed from his eyes.

She counted the time of the first cut, exactly seventeen breaths.Eight breathing times are given for each of the two bamboo joints, and one breathing time is given for crossing the bamboo joint.This time period is very strict.

Sure enough, as many as 31 people were eliminated, and the total number of eliminated people was already 94, with a shortfall of 56 people.

Boring!
The second knife: remove the bamboo skin.

Key points: The layer of green strips left behind must be thicker than the bamboo skin layer (otherwise it will increase the difficulty of the third knife).

The strip knife is squeezed into the bamboo strip, the horizontal blade is close to the bamboo skin, and the left hand pushes the bamboo.

The left hand can never be far away from the right hand holding the bamboo knife.This distance is less than an inch at the farthest, and it has been attached to the edge of the blade recently.

Push bamboo, push bamboo...

Arrive at Bamboo.This time through the bamboo joints, we cannot imitate the "returning the horse gun" just now, because the whole bamboo strip is already thin and slightly soft.The thumb and index finger of the left hand should pinch the position of the bamboo joint, and the right hand should squeeze the blade edge into the joint.

Over the bamboo festival.

Continue to push the bamboo.

During this step period, sixteen breaths.

12 people were eliminated.There are currently 240 quasi-craftsmen.

Boring!
The last step of the first round of competition is the drum.

The third cut begins: cut the green strips.

IMPORTANT: The cut position of the section is everything!
Compete to see who has the thinnest layer of green bamboo, first eliminate those who have timed out, and then eliminate according to the thickness of the green bamboo.

Use the thinnest edge of the strip knife to cut across the section.Usually bamboo strips, the strip craftsman will tear the bamboo with his mouth after cutting the gap in this step.Because the back of the knife is thick, after it is squeezed into the two bamboo layers, the soft green bamboo can be broken with a little carelessness.

Therefore, the technique can only be the same as the second knife through the bamboo joints. The left hand pinches the bamboo piece tightly from the beginning to the end, close to the blade edge, pushes up the edge a little bit, and always observes the thickness of the green bamboo.

Every time the bamboo piece is pushed, there is a slight "hissing" sound.

Wang Ge frowned, and his heart beat faster with a "hiss".Is the timing drum supposed to sound?Should it ring?Is it going to ring soon?Speed ​​up, go faster, go faster!

That's too late!

Boom!
Heh... Except for the sound of the drum, the surrounding area is so quiet, she can hear her own long sigh.

　I feel a little unwell, and I may have been tricked.I can't concentrate all the time, the code words are very out of state, and tomorrow's update may be even more abnormal.Feel sorry.
