suspected wife

In her previous life, she had seen her uncle and the others dug wooden piles.

After a tree is sawed off, a wooden stake will be left on the ground, about one or two feet long.Shorter ones may be shorter.Maybe only a palm's distance from the ground.

You can see what it looks like on the ground, but you don't know what's buried in the soil.

Of course, seasoned people will also judge the depth of the buried soil and the condition of the underground root system based on what kind of tree it is.

Sometimes the root system is complicated, and it takes several people to dig for more than half a month to dig out the roots of the wooden stakes.

The root system is complex and dense, and it is heavy and large. In order not to damage the roots, transportation is still a problem.

In my previous life, I had a hoist, and I used thick ropes to tie and lift it to a heavy truck, so it could be transported anywhere.It takes a few days to transport from the southernmost to the northernmost.

But what is here now?

Of course, this mountain is close to home. After the wooden stakes are lifted, she can also put them where they are. After they are dry, they will do rough steps to remove branches and beards, wait for rough processing, and then transport them home for fine work.

It's just that who is going to do the work of digging piles?

Do you rely on Father He, Yue Dalei, Yunjin, and Qiao Mingjin?

This is obviously not practical.

Not to mention that carving a finished product is time-consuming, labor-intensive and mentally exhausting, do you still have to work hard to dig it out yourself?

The seven of them should have more important things to do.

Qiao Mingjin thought about it for a while, combined with the opinions of several people present, and said to Sister Xiu: "Sister Xiu, just help me manage the work and do some chores. I will pay you one tael a month. You don't have to dig it yourself. , I don’t want to pay the workers who dig the wooden piles by the day. If it is paid by the day, they will get the same money for fast and slow digging, and some people will fish in troubled waters. It’s better to pay by the piece, diligent Of course people get more money."

"Let Xiaochun and Brother Yue walk around the mountains tomorrow first, and then go to the village the day after tomorrow and tell the villagers that I collect wooden piles here. I will pay them varying amounts according to the size and shape of the wooden piles. If the stakes are complete, I will pay more money. If I dig out the ones I don’t need, I will also accept their piles at the price of firewood.”

"My family may not be able to pile too much. After they dig it out, let them put it next to the pit. I will take someone to do a simple treatment and then transport it home. Then I will tell them that the dug pit must Be responsible for filling it out, otherwise heavy rain or soil loss in the future may affect the whole village. After they dig it out, ask them to notify you. You first help to take a preliminary look. If you think it is good, they will I also backfilled the pit, and let me go over to look at it, and I will give them a calculation of the money after I look at it."

Sister Xiu kept saying yes after hearing this.

According to Qiao Mingjin, after digging out this wooden pile, it must be worth as much money as selling firewood.

Then a wooden stake is so big that it can hold an ox cart after being split.Even selling firewood can earn tens of pennies.

What's more, the money is not calculated by selling firewood.

If the villagers know about it.It must be all out.People who are at home will definitely dig wooden piles, so there is no need for them to dig hard.

In this way, Qiao Mingjin also helped the villagers.Give them some money too.I believe that some people in the village will be able to take care of the mother and daughter in the future...

That night, after everyone had settled the talks, they all went to sleep with their expectations and beautiful visions.

Yun Jin pulled Qiao Mingjin and said something, and then fell asleep in Ming Heng and Ming Jue's room...

The next day, Qiao Mingjin thought about it, fearing that He Xiaochun and others would not know which stakes to choose, so she stayed at home.

He only told Father He to stop by the Green Willow Villa when he went to the city.Ask Ming Jue to help her go to the bookstore, buy some pens, ink, paper and inkstones and bring them back.

And Yunjin will also visit nearby Luochuan and other places.So I have to go back to Yunjia Village to explain.

Qiao Mingjin took out another 200 taels of silver, 100 taels was given to him as the cost of his trip this time, and the other 100 taels of silver was for him to give to Qiao's father and mother as the cost of hiring people to open up wasteland and farm the land.

He also told him that he could talk to acquaintances in Yunjia Village, and she would take the wooden stakes here.Let these people search around Yunjia Village to see if there is any suitable wood.

It's always good to have extra.

In the early stage, I am afraid that they encountered good wood. When they first practiced their hands, there would be some waste materials. It is unknown how many raw materials will be wasted to make a finished product.

After Yunjin and He's father went out respectively, Yue Dalei came to the door.

Qiao Mingjin cleaned up, and after breakfast, she led the crowd into the mountains.

Ming Qi and Wan'er also insisted on following.

The family's ox cart was driven to the city by He's father, and Yue Dalei and others carried her family's chicken coop on their shoulders, and helped her carry the chickens to the mountains to graze.

After the chickens were released from the cage, several people turned around in the mountains.

Qiao Mingjin told a few people about the advantages and disadvantages of softwood and hardwood carving, and some of the stakes they wanted to pick.

Not all wooden stakes are suitable.

First of all, of course, you must choose a healthy wooden stake.

If it is rotten, wormy, moldy, or incomplete with major flaws, it must be discarded.

There are also some woods that are extremely susceptible to insect infestation, and they should not be used.Such wood is not easy to preserve when carved, and has little collection value.

There are many kinds of wood in this mountain. Although there are not many precious woods, there are many suitable woods.

Some precious woods such as nanmu, rosewood, mahogany, etc. used to make tea tables and tea tables are not available, but they can still be found in some places in the south.

These logs may not be easy to find, but the stakes left after being sawed are still easy to find.After all, not too many people have thought of using them.

In addition to wooden stakes and buried roots that can be made into root carving handicrafts, some wood sections with natural shapes can also be carved into excellent handicrafts.

Even the waste wood thrown away on the ground after felling the wood, or the waste root thrown away by the roadside may be a dusty pearl.Maybe it's just a section of dead wood, which can be made into a valuable collection after processing.

The point is to have an eye for discovery.

starting time.Yue Dalei, He Xiaochun and the others just followed Qiao Mingjin wandering around in the woods, a little confused and completely lost their way.

Later, Qiao Mingjin slowly inspired them to develop rich imaginations.

She took Wan'er's hand, randomly picked up some wooden pieces, dead branches or leaves on the ground, and asked Wan'er, what does this look like?What does that look like?

Children's likeness is always the most abundant.

Xiao Wan'er started playing with her mother immediately.

"Mother, does this look like a lotus?"

Qiao Mingjin looked at a thin dead branch in her daughter's hand, and there was a tumor on it, like a lotus bud, and said with a smile: "Well, it really looks like it."

After a while, Ming Qi also found a piece of wood and held it up and asked her: "Sister, sister, does this look like an old man with a long beard?"

Qiao Mingjin looked at the long root with long roots in Ming Qi's hand, and nodded with a smile.

The two children randomly picked up some strange-looking things, and they ran to ask her if they looked like something.

Immediately opened the rich imagination of He Xiaochun and others.

As long as you think it looks a little special and looks like something, several people will comment on it.

He also pulled Qiao Mingjin to judge who was right.

Qiao Mingjin was very happy.He said with a smile: "This is only a similar thing in appearance. What do you think it looks like. It is what it is based on imagination. Different carvers imagine different things and make different things. "

"For example, the piece of wood with long beard that Ming Qi took just now, everyone thinks he looks like an old man with a beard, but you, He Xiaochun, can carve Guan Gong with a beard, and you, Brother Yue, can carve an Antarctic longevity fairy Weng. Everyone’s perspective is different, and the things they carve are also different. Even if they are all carved into Shouxian Weng, what each person carves will have a different charm.”

"Another example is the lotus-like piece of wood that Wan'er took just now. You can carve it into a lotus bud ornament, or into a candlestick for people to use, or something else. What different carvers see in their eyes They are all different. To develop a rich imagination, when others think the same as you, you have to make different charms on the same things.”

"Even if other people make lotus buds, you can carve a dragonfly on it. Either carved out of logs, or spliced ​​together, as long as no trace of splicing can be seen, it is an exquisite handicraft ..."

"Root carving still needs to pay attention to the natural form, and expand your rich imagination on top of it. If people can see the splicing, it will make people feel unreal, and lose the original meaning and the most natural charm."

He Xiaochun and the others were somewhat enlightened after hearing this.

After the few people listened, they thought about it carefully, and observed it carefully.

All the way to the top of the sun, several people also gained a lot.

They also took a fancy to some suitable wooden stakes and raw materials.

Qiao Mingjin also made a sign in the woods, and when she was going back, she told sister Xiu to ask some people she knew to dig out the wooden stakes first.

These are all she wants to use, so the price will naturally not be low.Letting those people who are close to her dig it can be regarded as giving them money, and it can also be regarded as a little repayment for their daily care for themselves.

Qiao Mingjin followed behind Yue Dalei and the others, and with only a few hints, the four of them started to use their infinite imagination.They scrambled to say what they could be made into Yuyuelongmen, Flying Apsaras, Durian Baizi, Magu's Birthday, Golden Rooster Announcing the Dawn, etc., which symbolize auspiciousness and festiveness.

Qiao Mingjin was very impressed.

People in this era should never be underestimated.

Several people couldn't dig some big wooden piles, so they each picked up some small pieces of wood in the forest.Waste roots, dead wood, etc. thrown on the ground.Said to take it back to practice hands.

Qiao Mingjin looked very happy.

In the afternoon, she took several people to the bamboo forest in the mountain to dig about twenty bamboo roots.

These bamboo roots are easy to dig, and they have many roots, and they are easier to carve than wooden roots, so let them practice their hands first. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
