Reborn Craftsman

Chapter 160 Bamboo Art Master?

Thinking of this, Ye Tian shook his head, and he said to Wang Afu: "Don't throw your chair upside down, Ahu and Xiaohu are married, if you don't even have a decent bed, then if outsiders see it, wouldn't it be throwing you in Dongyu Village?" s face?"

"But I don't know how to make it?" Wang Afu replied with a smile on his face.

Several of his apprentices are also very embarrassed. Although they are all bamboo craftsmen, if they can make all kinds of bamboo products, they will not be so poor.

"You go outside to bring the bamboo in, I said the size, you make it!" Liu Xing looked at the time and made a decision immediately.

"Hey! Hey!" Wang Afu ran out excitedly when he heard the words. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that Liu Xing wanted to teach him how to make bamboo beds.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would hide this skill so tightly that they would never teach it to anyone until they died.

After all, craftsmen all believe in a wise saying, that is to teach the apprentice and starve the master to death.

Before you completely break away from relying on crafts to make a living, you must keep one hand.

However, Liu Xing didn't have such an idea. He picked up the tape measure and started to measure the size of the house to prepare for making the bamboo bed.

This is called adapting measures to local conditions, and it is a basic operation necessary for a craftsman.

A moment later, Wang Afu brought in a dozen or so bamboos with a few apprentices.

Liu Xing glanced at it and said, "These quantities are not enough, so I will carry another twenty. As for the broken bamboo strips, Mr. Wang, the width of the bamboo strips is about one finger wide, and the length is 1.9 meters, accurate to the millimeter."

Old Wang is Liu Xing's respectful name for Wang Afu. When he heard the words accurate to millimeters, he suddenly looked sad and didn't know what to do for a while.

Seeing that the apprentices around him were still standing still, they immediately cursed: "Why are you idiots standing still, go to the village committee to carry the bamboos at the grain drying field! Didn't you hear what Master Liu said?"

"Know!"

"Haha... let's go!"

"The master is actually angry, which is rare!"

Several apprentices in their 20s laughed and ran away in a hurry.

It can be seen that they are not afraid of Wang Afu, but they are still in awe of Liu Xing.

Wang Afu shook his head, picked up the saw, and sawed a piece of Nanzhu into 1.9 meters and three lengths, and then started to break the bamboo with a bamboo knife.

However, no matter how careful he is, it is impossible to accurately measure the gap between the widths to millimeters. This is because he has not mastered the craftsmanship. Liu Xing saw it from the side, and immediately turned dark and shook his head: "You are called a broken bamboo strip that is accurate to millimeters." ?"

"I...I really can't meet your requirements!" Wang Afu blushed.

Although Liu Xing didn't scold him, he felt worse than being beaten.

"Look, I'll only teach it once!" Liu Xing took the bamboo knife in Wang Afu's hand, put the five fingers of his left hand together and grabbed Nanzhu in the shape of a swallowtail.

There was a click sound, and the bamboo was split into pieces by the knife. Liu Xing's index finger retracted, and another piece of bamboo was broken again. Repeated this several times, it was like a machine. The Nanzhu becomes nine strips of the same size.

As for the accuracy, Wang Afu picked up the measuring tape and measured it, his eyes widened in shock and he couldn't speak, there was no difference at all.

"Have you learned it?" Liu Xing threw the bamboo knife to Wang Afu.

"No." Wang Afu said truthfully.

This kind of slandering technique is probably impossible to achieve without decades of experience, so it's better for him to admit that his IQ is not good enough.

However, Liu Xing saw clearly the way Liu Xing broke the bamboo strips just now, so he picked up the strip knife and tried it, and saw that breaking the bamboo strips not only saves a lot of labor, even the width of the strips is almost the same, so he couldn't help but get excited.

Liu Xing looked at it and smiled. The technique of breaking bamboo strips taught to Wang Afu just now is one of the seven-star techniques for breaking bamboo strips, and it is also the most basic. Wang Afu can learn it all at once, which proves that the bamboo strip craftsman still has the basics.

But if you want to use it as freely as him, I'm afraid it won't work without a few years of proficiency.

Seeing that the bamboo in the house was enough to make the frame of a bamboo bed, Liu Xing did not continue talking nonsense with Wang Afu, but picked up the tape measure to "dot ink" and "mark lines" to make it.

Nanzhu's toughness and hardness are actually much better than fir and pine, so the 'bending method' can be used to speed up the production of bamboo beds.

The shape of the bamboo bed made by Liu Xing is not the kind of bamboo bed sold in the market for enjoying the shade, but the kind of home-style bamboo bed with a length and width of about two meters.

The four bed legs are made by chiseling and mortise bending in the "bending method". After a while, the bed legs are made, and then assembled with the selected southern bamboo, the general frame of the bamboo bed comes out
Wang Afu, who had broken bamboo strips beside him, was stunned for a moment. He thought Liu Xing would take at least half a day to make the bamboo bed frame, but he didn't expect it to take shape in less than half an hour. ah!

Liu Xing did not pay attention to Wang Afu's expression, but chose four South bamboos of the same size to fix the bamboo bed frame. He did not use "bamboo pins" to fix them on the outside, but used bamboo inner support tenons and hidden head tenons. Superb way to get it done.

This technique is both beautiful and strong, and laymen can't see the way at all

And Wang Afu, as a close observer, couldn't help being stunned for a while.

For him, to achieve such a level of bamboo craftsman's craftsmanship is really a master level of proficiency
He felt that he was at a disadvantage when he was apprenticed to Wang Jiabao before. After all, Liu Xing was only 14 years old. Now it seems that this is not the case at all. He has picked up a treasure!
If I learn how to make bamboo beds, I'm afraid it will be difficult not to make a fortune if I open a shop selling bamboo beds in the town.

Seeing that the frame of the bamboo bed was completed, Liu Xing started to make the headboard of the bed. This is a prestige project. According to the rules, it needs to be carved.

But Liu Xing knew that he didn't have the time, so he kept everything simple, picked up the bamboo knife, and used the bamboo strips to weave a relief-shaped bedside board
This embossed headboard was often woven in a small factory before he was reborn, and the money was calculated on a piece-by-piece basis, so he was so proficient that he could weave it even with his eyes closed.

Wang Afu on the side was not calm anymore, he looked at Liu Xing's mechanically skillful hands in astonishment, and he didn't dare to blink his eyes.

I wanted to see the whole weaving process clearly, but in the end I realized that this is simply impossible.

Because Liu Xing's hands are so fast that his eyes can't keep up, he just feels a flower in the shape of a lotus flower appears in front of him, and when he looks carefully, it forms a part of the relief.

"This... this..." Wang Afu rubbed his eyes vigorously, only then did he feel that the gap between him, a bamboo craftsman, and Liu Xing was not even the slightest bit
