Live Broadcast: My Leisurely Life In A Mountain Village

"First of all, you have to cut the pork into strips. The specific size is fine. I cut it to a similar size."

"Add high-grade liquor and knead for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the pork to fully contact with high-grade liquor. This step is the key to antiseptic and flavor enhancement."

"Then stir-fry the marinade, which is different from bacon with only salt. Bacon is very troublesome. Put salt, pepper, and star anise in the pot, and fry on low heat until the salt turns slightly yellow and the pepper aroma is strong, and then put it there and wait for it to cool Just do it."

Chen Yang stood in the kitchen and waited for more than ten minutes. After the marinade cooled, he picked it up and walked out: "Pour in the marinade, rub it repeatedly, and spread it evenly. At this point, today's work is basically over. ."

"Because next, the meat has to be sealed and marinated for four or five days. In a few days, I will tell you how to do it later."

He sealed up the wild boar and put it in a cool place.

Wash your hands and come out of the kitchen.

"Make another bamboo basket and a bamboo umbrella."

"It's not very convenient in the countryside. There are no umbrellas in small shops, so you can only buy them in the town. If you are a dog, the town will not satisfy you, so you can only buy them online." "Six Seven Three"

"I don't want to be so troublesome, so I will solve it myself."

He dragged over the bamboo he had cut down yesterday.

First cut a third with a wild knife.

"This is used to weave bamboo baskets. I made one last time, but that one is for carrying. The one I'm going to weave this time can be carried on my back."

I saw him chopping out bamboo strips of equal thickness.

Then get started and start compiling.

This time he was not in a hurry, and it took half an hour.

Grab it, try it on your back, it's not bad, the size is just right.

"When the rain is over and the sky clears, I will go up the mountain to pick mushrooms with a small bamboo basket on my back."

Chen Yang said with a smile.

Then he picked up the remaining bamboo: "Baskets and bamboo baskets are relatively simple, but bamboo umbrellas are a bit more complicated. Most people really don't know how to do it."

"Bamboo umbrellas are not complicated, they are very complicated!"

"Anyone who can make an umbrella with bare hands is not an ordinary person."

"I just want to know, what is the umbrella cloth made of? (thinking)"

Chen Yang said: "Second grandfather has them at home."

"Our second grandpa's house, why are there all kinds of weird things?"

Chen Yang said with a smile: "It's not weird, because spreading...is very simple, and you'll know the details in a while. And it's not as good as it is now. You can go out to work and earn money. Before, you could only find ways to make money at home. Burning bricks, doing Bamboo baskets, bamboo umbrellas, tofu and so on, Second Grandpa has basically made them."

"Second Grandpa is also a veteran craftsman."

"No wonder Mr. Chen knows everything, he learned it from Second Grandpa."

Chen Yang said: "There are nearly 80 steps in the process of making a bamboo umbrella. Even if you are an old craftsman, you can't make a bamboo umbrella in a day. But I am a young man, and I am a If you are single, your hand speed is relatively fast, and you will definitely not be able to do it in one day."

He glanced at the time: "It's ten o'clock now. If there is no accident, it can be done before two o'clock in the afternoon."

"It takes four hours to make an umbrella?"

"Four hours is already fast, do you think Mr. Chen is joking with you? A normal person can't do a good job in a day.

"Four hours . . . that's lightning fast."

Chen Yang said: "The first step in making umbrella ribs is to take appropriate bamboo joints, and then scrape off the green skin of the bamboo. In addition to making bamboo umbrellas, bamboo chairs and stools in my hometown also have to be processed in the same way.

Chen Yang grabbed the bamboo joint with his left hand and a knife with his right, and began to peel off the green skin.

His movements are very fast, obviously it is a very monotonous and boring step, but because of his speed, people watching are dazzled.

In less than ten minutes, it was over.

A section of the bamboo with the green bark removed appears vividly in front of my eyes.

"Then split the umbrella ribs, split the big bamboo tube into small pieces, and then split the small pieces into long strips. The umbrella stand is usually made of a bamboo tube and an umbrella, so that it can be more tightly stitched when it is finally closed."

"The step of the umbrella stand should be the most time-consuming, but it is also the essence and the most important part of an umbrella."

Chen Yang was doing it while talking. Although he had already done it very quickly, by the time the umbrella stand in his hand was formed, 40 minutes had passed without knowing it. "Then it's time to make the ribs, which is relatively easy. If you don't care too much, you can make them about the same size. But one end of the ribs still needs to be sharpened, which is a test of patience.

"The strength should not be too strong, if it is too big, it will be easily broken."

"A traditional bamboo umbrella has a total of 72 umbrella ribs. As long as the bamboo you choose is good, you can use a bamboo umbrella for two years without any problem.

This step is simple but time consuming.

72 pieces, Chen Yang did it for more than half an hour.

"Then continue to work on the umbrella ribs. After sharpening, you have to slot and drill holes, which are used to connect with the short ribs of the umbrella.

"After finishing these, put the long ribs aside and the short ribs aside, so as not to confuse them."

"Gululu~"

At this time, Chen Yang's stomach growled.

He looked at the time, it was already twelve o'clock.

"Time flies, I've only made half of this umbrella, don't worry about it, let's eat first, if you don't fill your stomach, there is no time to work."

"Let the ox plow the land, but also let the ox eat first."

Chen Yang put down the things in his hands and went to get something to eat.

Netizens watched it with gusto, but Chen Yang suddenly ran away.

The camera also pointed at the half-made bamboo umbrella.

"Your sister, I am concentrating on watching!"

"Master Chen, come back to me!"

"Hun Dan, how can there be such a thing! (crying)"

Chen Yang thought to himself, I am not here to take care of you, so as not to be hit again after watching me eat a big meal.

He simply got something to eat and came back.

"It's half past twelve, and I eat pretty fast."

"Okay, let's continue to make umbrellas."

"Now connect the umbrella stand and the long umbrella ribs, and here you have to thread the thread. The eight-braided hemp thread I used is very strong and not easy to rot."

Chen Yang threaded the thread with a pin, and then connected the ribs one by one.

Then continue to connect the long and short ribs, this step is the most troublesome.

Chen Yang has been busy for almost an hour, and the group is all done.

"Okay, the bamboo umbrella is probably ready."

He stood up, grabbed the broken frame, and said: "I haven't inserted the umbrella pole yet, but I can test the opening and closing first. The structure of the opening and closing is fine, and I can continue to the next step."

He opened the ribs: "It's very smooth, there is no sense of obstruction, and it's still very perfect."

"The following process is still troublesome, mainly using the booklet, which is the tool in my hand.

"The purpose of the folding is to fix the distance. Each card is a fixed distance between the ribs and the ribs."

Clamp the distance, start to wind the thread, five or six times to fix the thread, and the ribs on the umbrella surface will be evenly distributed. The opening and closing of each umbrella rib is a fixed opening and closing path, so as to increase the stability of the whole umbrella.

After another hour of busy work, it was already past the two o'clock he said.

It's almost three o'clock now.

Even Chen Yang himself overestimated his own speed.

After all, there are too many processes and too complicated.

After finishing the last item, he took a long breath and said, "Basically, that's it."

"The last step is to put on the paper."

"I'll go to Second Grandpa's house and get the paper now."

He got up and went out in the rain.

After a while, he came back with many things.

He put aside a small iron bucket with a brush on it. Then set everything else aside.

Then another bowl came out from the kitchen.

There was a white sticky mass in the bowl, and it was impossible to tell what it was.

Chen Yang said: "This is paste, brushed on the umbrella ribs, after brushing the paste, you can paste the rice paper layer by layer on the inside and outside of the umbrella ribs."

"Wait, rice paper? Mr. Chen, you use rice paper to make umbrellas?"

"How can you make paper, you are not blocking the sun, you have to use 5.5 to block the rain!"

Chen Yang said: "I know you are curious, but don't worry, read on."

He brushed the paste well, and then cut out a circular paper that was bigger than a palm, and this one was pasted inside the umbrella.

Then stick a whole piece of paper on the umbrella rib and continue to brush the paste.

Then, he opened the small iron bucket beside him.

Grab the brush, brush it inside, put it in front of the camera: "This is tung oil."

"Brushing tung oil on the rice paper can prevent rain."

When everyone heard the words, they suddenly realized.

Finish with a layer of tung oil.

Chen Yang propped it open and put it into the room.

Then he said: "Wait for the tung oil to dry first. During this time, I will prepare the four treasures of the study and prepare for the last process."

"What do the Four Treasures of the Study have to do with making umbrellas?"

"Master Chen, did you make a mistake?"

"I see, Master Chen is going to paint!"
