Reborn Craftsman

Chapter 62 Your method is wrong!

This is a technical problem. In fact, many master bamboo craftsmen do not need to soak the bamboo mats at all. They can be easily resolved by weaving according to the texture of the bamboo. Liu Xing will also, but it is extremely difficult to really do this. It's complicated, so he didn't plan to say it, but planned to use a planer to solve it.

As for the problem of steaming to remove odors, he remembered the practice of bamboo pillows in the Southern Song Dynasty, which was to use special rosin to smear them to neutralize odors. This is very easy to operate, and rosin is also very cheap in the current era. As long as it can be put into use, then The two processes of cooking and soaking can be saved.

Of course, this is only his tentative idea, as to whether it will be successful, the final test will be the only way to know.

If it doesn't work, it will be very troublesome to find a craftsman to build a large sink for soaking and cooking silk strips in the greenhouse.

To put it bluntly, if a bamboo mat cost ten yuan a piece, he would die at a loss.

Seeing that Zhu Xiuqing had time now, Liu Xing came back to his senses, operated the planer and continued to process the thickness of the remaining silk strips to be the same, and then made a simple platform with more than a dozen pine boards.

The purpose of this platform is to lay silk strips flat to make bamboo mats. The size is 1.8 meters by two meters. Start weaving the loose silk strips together.

Although her speed is not fast, she is very rhythmic, and she looks like a familiar hand.

However, Liu Xing was very dissatisfied. She waved her hand to signal Zhu Xiuqing to get out of the way, and then loosened all the nylon ropes woven on the silk strips: "Your weaving method is wrong, it is very cumbersome and cannot fix the silk strips , You need to make up the lines back and forth to barely achieve the effect, you can see how naive your previous technique is when you look at how I weave it."

After saying this, Liu Xing became focused, his ten fingers were dexterous like a machine, and he took the nylon rope to shuttle between the silk strips. After a while, he fixed more than ten silk strips tightly together, and the gap between the threads A simple pattern was also outlined, which is pleasing to the eye.

Zhu Xiuqing on the side was stunned, and when she came back to her senses, she realized that she hadn't seen Liu Xing's method of weaving the silk strips at all. She was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say for a while.

Liu Xing saw it, shaking his head at the moment, he could only slow down the speed of weaving silk strips in his hands. This weaving technique was learned in a factory along the coast before he was reborn. It looks simple, but it is very practical , as long as the entire bamboo mat is used in this way, the chance of deformation will be greatly reduced, or even not appear.

This time Zhu Xiuqing began to study seriously, and tried to weave a few times in front of Liu Xing with a few silk strips. Seeing that there was no problem, she hurriedly took over the semi-finished bamboo that Liu Xing had woven. Xi, started to get busy.

Liu Xing watched from the side, and gave some pointers from time to time. Seeing that Zhu Xiuqing's learning ability is very good, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Just when the whole bamboo mat was about to be made, Wang Xiaohe's voice came from outside the shed: "Is Da Geng there? I'll bring a truckload of bamboo over here, and you can come out and help unload the goods."

Liu Xing frowned slightly when he heard the shout, because his father was sleeping at this time, and it was very disrespectful to make such a noise. Seeing Wang Xiaohe walking in, he had no choice but to go up to him: "My father is sleeping, don't disturb me." he."

"Then what about the bamboo I brought in?" Wang Xiaohe asked a little annoyed.

"You carry it into the greenhouse by yourself!" Liu Xing spread his hands in a funny way: "In this market, all the bamboo sellers are transported. If you don't believe me, you can ask."

"No... I... I can't carry it alone!" Wang Xiaohe knew that Liu Xing was not lying to him, but he didn't want to pay for a porter. After rolling his eyes twice, he ignored it. Liu Xing walked straight towards the direction where Liu Dageng was sleeping.

In his mind, Liu Dagen was a villager in the same village as him, and he would still help with such a small favor, unlike Liu Xing who was so unreasonable and unforgiving.

However, this scene annoyed Liu Xing, he shouted in a low voice: "Wang Xiaohe, I am in charge of this bamboo strip workshop, you don't want to toast or fine wine, and I don't want a single bamboo at that time. Get up."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Xiaohe froze immediately. He stayed in place for two or three seconds before turning to look at Liu Xing, with a dry smile on his face: "Don't be like this, okay? They are all from Qingshi Village. Don't look at the monk's face." Buddha face, I didn't call the porter for this car, and I will definitely not trouble you for the next car."

"That's how it is! I'll call a porter for you, and the money will be deducted from the sale of bamboo!" Liu Xing didn't wait for Wang Xiaohe's consent, and waved to Gao Dazhuang who was sitting by the window weaving a dustpan: "Don't look, you You are tall and big, go and carry Nanzhu, and I will give you three yuan for the transportation later."

"Good!" Upon hearing the money, Gao Dazhuang ran out of the shed with a happy face, and then walked in with two bamboos on his shoulders.

Wang Xiaohe wanted to stop him, but he didn't know how to speak.

Under the entanglement, he had to squat at the door of the shed and guard.

But suddenly, Gao Dazhuang didn't unload the Nanzhu, but stared at Wang Xiaohe: "Has your tractor Nanzhu weighed?"

There is a special place for weighing in the market, but it costs one yuan per car, and additional money is required for more goods.

Wang Xiaohe is very smart, why didn't he know the inside story, and said perfunctoryly: "Hey! What a pound! This car is only a little more than two tons of bamboo, which is about four thousand catties. It can't be wrong. .!"

He said this to Gao Dazhuang, but his eyes were on Liu Xing.

The implication is that according to the previously agreed price of ten yuan per kilogram, his car is only 40 yuan.

Could it be that Liu Xing did not understand the meaning of Wang Xiaohe's words, and immediately frowned and said, "Don't play tricks on me, you haven't even passed the scale, who would believe that your car has four thousand catties of bamboo, so hurry up and drive to weigh it. Otherwise, I will not accept the Nanzhu from your car."

A tractor's southern bamboo is generally not worth four thousand catties, unless it is full and it is freshly felled southern bamboo. Wang Xiaohe's bamboo obviously did not meet these two requirements. He was told by Liu Xing , the old face suddenly felt a little uneasy. After rubbing his face helplessly, he had no choice but to drive the tractor to the place where the weight was weighed.

Under the signal of Liu Xing's eyes, Gao Dazhuang hastily followed.

And at this moment, a tall girl jumped off the co-pilot of the tractor. She gave Liu Xing a blank look, and then stood at the door of the shed looking at the muddy road.

This tall girl has fair skin. She is Liu Xing's junior high school classmate 'Wang Qing', also Wang Xiaohe's eldest daughter 'Wang Qing', and she followed her to the greenhouse. I'm afraid nothing good will happen.
