Survival on the Island starts with a female boss

Chapter 116, Making a Bamboo Bed

After all, shipbuilding is a really big project. The knowledge and materials required, as well as the required construction time, cannot be completed in a day or two.

Now manpower and material resources are not allowed, so Ma Yongqiang just buried this idea deeply in his heart.

He didn't even have the courage to prepare for action, so he didn't mention it to Yu Tina and Feng Yali.

Gossip less, the book returns to the main story.

After arriving at the bamboo forest, Ma Yongqiang and the others lit a fire first, and then began to cut bamboo.

Today's task is to build a few beds first.

Work has to be done step by step slowly, don't be so anxious, first make the bed, build the shelter a little, then you can move all the camps here and live here.

It is quite difficult to say that it is difficult to make a bamboo bed, but it is relatively simple to say that it is simple.

After all, in the wild, it is almost impossible to create a perfect bed.

If you want to make a wooden bed, firstly, there are no nails, and secondly, there is no chisel to plan the wood, and no saw to cut the length of the wood.

As for why you choose to make a bamboo bed, the main reason is that the bamboo bed does not need iron nails, just hit a few bamboo dowels as nails to fix it.

Moreover, bamboo is flexible and easy to shape and shape, so a bamboo bed that is simple and suitable for sleeping is made.

It should not be too difficult for the tools they currently hold.

It's just that the craftsmanship still requires some craftsmanship, but relatively speaking, the difficulty of making a wooden bed is not at the same level as making a bamboo bed.

The bamboo bed is still simpler, at least with the current ability, it can still be made.

After the whole bamboo is cut down, the part of the leg of the bed is left, and one section of bamboo is cut off with a knife enough to lengthen the upper half.

After it is roasted on the fire and softened, a whole chopped bamboo tube is used to place it on the peeled piece of roasted bamboo, and then bent to shape.

Leave enough length for one person to lie on, bend and shape the other end in the same way, and then use the same bamboo tube to make the same length of bed legs.

Then use the same method to make two beams, and use the same bending and shaping method.

In this way, these shaped bed legs are long and short, and tied together.

Use slightly thinner bamboo, interspersed in the bamboo tube reserved when bending and shaping.

Drill a hole with a knife and insert it into the bamboo shaft to fix it, so that the outline of the bed is formed.

The next step is to thread the two legs of the bed with bamboo pins punched with a knife, and fix them firmly to prevent the ropes binding the legs of the bed from being loosened and the bed falling apart when the bed shakes at night.

Then the bamboo is broken open to get thinner bamboo strips, and the burrs on both sides of the bamboo strips are carefully trimmed to prevent the thorns from being stuck into the flesh while sleeping.

In addition, some horizontal beams supporting bamboo strips should be made on the bed, so that when sleeping at night, the bamboo strips will not be broken due to gravity.

On the two bamboos in Changde, a hole was made every [-] to [-] centimeters, and bamboos of suitable size were stuffed in. Only the upper part was moved to be flat, and the lower part didn't matter.

Because the bamboo strips are placed on the top, if it is not flat enough, it will not be very comfortable for people to lie on, and because of the unevenness, the bamboo strips will be easily broken due to gravity.

Therefore, it is necessary to pursue all the bamboos on the same level.

One by one, fix the bamboo with bamboo pins one by one, and then you can place the bamboo pieces that have been deburred.

Until this time, a bed made of bamboo is basically completed.

Arrange the bamboo slices one by one, after leveling.Then tie the two ends of the bamboo slices with a split half-drawn bamboo tube with a rope and press them firmly, and finally fix them with bamboo pins and mortise and tenon.

Such a bed is truly accomplished.

Although it looks a bit ugly, no, the bamboo bed bought in the mall looks so beautiful and generous.

But how?This is also Ma Yongqiang's first real handmade product.

Ma Yongqiang and the others looked at the bamboo bed in front of them, and it would be a lie to say that they were not excited.

After all, in this wilderness, it is possible to make such a complete bamboo bed with some simple and unskilled techniques.

Ma Yongqiang and the three of them should indeed be proud.

When eating boiled bamboo shoots at noon, because they had already finished eating the fish they caught before.

Ma Yongqiang hasn't recovered yet, so no one goes fishing at the beach anymore. Now Ma Yongqiang and the three of them can only eat some vegetarian food to satisfy their hunger.

When they were eating, they sat on the bamboo bed they made, holding back the joy in their hearts. The three of them were full of confidence, and some praised each other.

"Brother Qiang, don't say that your hands are quite clever. When I was a child, I saw my dad and the others making bamboo benches at home, and I had a general understanding of the process. I just said this to you casually. I really didn't expect you to It can actually be done.”

"Sister Yali, stop praising Qiangzi. You can see that his tail is almost up to the sky. If you continue to praise him, he can really fly up to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun."

Ha ha ha ha…!
The three of them were talking and laughing, and finished the not too rich lunch.

Try to make all the remaining beds before dark.

If so, today is a fulfilling day.

It can be regarded as not wasting time, wasting time in vain.

Eventually, another bed was made just before the sun went down, and the other bamboo bed was almost finished.

But it's getting dark soon, and it's still dangerous to drive in such a dense forest at night.

Ma Yongqiang had no choice but to put down the unfinished bamboo bed, tidied up his clothes, and called two women to go back to the camp on the beach.

After all, I have lived there for a long time, and it is more at ease to rest there at night. If I rest in an unfamiliar place, I will be somewhat uncomfortable.

If you rest in this dense forest, the bed, the house and the shelter are not ready yet.

If it gets dark and some nocturnal animals attack people in the future, maybe the three people's dozens of catties of white meat will be confessed here.

Sometimes a small poisonous bug can kill a grown man.

This is really not scary, but Ma Yongqiang has seen it with his own eyes.

A small slender wasp stung a person, and the person had no signs of life before being taken to the hospital.

So if you can go to a safe place to rest, it is best not to take risks and spend the night in a dangerous place.

So the three of them put down their unfinished work while it was still dark, took a little bamboo shoots, a specialty food in the bamboo forest, and headed back to the camp on the beach.
