The little beloved wife of the farmhouse

Chapter 38 Bamboo Basket
After walking for more than an hour, Yun Shilei finally saw the bamboo forest.Maybe the climate here is not bad, maybe no one has ever cut bamboo.There is actually a large piece of bamboo so densely packed that it is almost impossible to see the end.

Yun Shilei was happy, she took out a bamboo from the dagger Gao Tianlei gave her and chopped it up.The dagger is fast and can cut one with little effort.After a while, a large bundle was cut down, and Yun Shilei dragged the bamboos to a pile and sat down to rest.

When she was in college, she still heard a local old farmer explain how to weave bamboo baskets, but she never did it.So while resting, she recalled the method of weaving the bamboo baskets in her mind.

For the chopped bamboo, the branches, heads and tails are removed, and then sawn into bamboos with a length of about ten feet (three or four meters) as needed.The bamboo material should be about the same size in two days, so the bamboo baskets produced in this way are good.After sawing, it needs to be split. Generally, a piece of bamboo is split into four or eight equal parts, depending on the size of the bamboo and different uses.

Broken Bamboo and Weaving

Scrape off the green bamboo, remove the bamboo knots, and break off the surface of the inner wall.In this way, there is not much strip material left that can be broken into basket weaving.Generally, for a piece of bamboo material, there are about four pieces of bamboo that can be broken out by about one millimeter.Then weave these strips horizontally and firmly.

BBQ Ribs
The woven bamboo basket needs ribs to support and shape it.And these ribs are the bamboo material in the third step. Select a part, remove the knots and scrape green, cut off the inner wall at the place that needs to be bent, and then bend it to [-] degrees, and heat it with fire.It can be set after cooling.

Install the ribs, the basket opening
Install these shaped ribs on the woven bamboo basket, and then close the mouth of the basket, and a bamboo basket is ready.You can use thin strips or hemp rope to close the mouth.The image point is to sew the tendons on the bamboo basket with rope.Then tie thicker ropes to these tendons, and you can pick them up.

Yun Shilei cut off the bamboo branches, heads and tails while recalling, and then tied these useful bamboos together and dragged them down the mountain.

I met many people along the way, and they all greeted her: "Oh, big girl, why did you go to the mountain again? It's not safe on the mountain! Don't you think your father hasn't woken up since he went up the mountain! This kind of bamboo is not good for burning firewood, and it is not resistant to burning at all when it is dried in the sun, but it is not as good as the roots of old trees on the mountain."

Yun Shilei just smiled when she heard this, she can't tell these people what the bamboo is for now, otherwise she wouldn't be able to make money with it!This is absolutely confidential!
Because it is a wild bamboo, it grows relatively thin. When I got home, Yun Shilei first split a bamboo into four parts, and then practiced for a long time. There were either too many or too few. .This is still holding a dagger, looking at the bloody hand, Yun Shilei feels that it is not easy to do anything!

Every time I look at what other people say, it sounds good, but there is really nothing that can be done without effort!But nothing is difficult in the world as long as there is a heart, Yun Shilei didn't believe it, and she went against this bamboo!

All day long, Yun Shilei kept chopping bamboo.The ones brought back from the mountain will be picked up again after the splitting is over. She can split the bamboo evenly for a whole week.This is the next step.

Even the people in the village said that the Yun family lacked virtue this time, and that a good girl must be kicked out of the house to drive people crazy.If you have nothing to do, you can use the bamboo on the mountain to relieve your anger. If you are so crazy that day, you have to come out with a knife to kill people.
