Reborn Craftsman

As soon as these words were said, all the villagers in the surrounding Dongyu Village laughed one by one, and some boldly stood up and said: "The firs in our village are waiting for dealers to come to buy and sell them for money! It's been several months, and neither of them have been seen."

"The road is blocked, ghosts are coming!" Liu Xing replied angrily.

Seeing that many villagers were walking towards the house, and they were about to bring more bamboo, they immediately shouted: "Leave a few strippers and carpenters here, I'm going to build a bamboo house, I can't let you be so lax Activity."

"I know the carpenter's craft, I'll stay!" A black old man raised his hand and volunteered to stay. Under his call, two young guys also turned around and stopped.

Looking at their eyes, it seems that they have a master-student relationship with the old man Hei.

Liu Xing saw it, and didn't say anything, but asked: "Where is the bamboo craftsman! Why didn't I see anyone willing to stay?"

"I'm a bamboo craftsman, but I'm afraid that I'll be ashamed of using an ax in front of you!" A thin middle-aged man laughed, and he put away the dry pipe in his hand. Seeing that several villagers around him were hesitant, he frowned and said: "What are you looking at? If we don't stay now, if Village Chief Wang finds out about it, I'm afraid we won't even get the money."

"That's right, you guys are helping Ah Hu's family to build the bamboo house, you can't have your own ideas!" Liu Xing walked to the lean middle-aged man after hearing the words: "Actually, the bamboo house is not as difficult to build as you imagined, and you will know later gone."

"That's good!" The lean middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, and the villagers around him also stayed after seeing this.

"Then let's start!" Liu Xing found a sharp bamboo knife from the tool bag they threw on the ground, and then asked the old man Hei to help him carry a bamboo that was more than ten meters long and set it up diagonally. , After looking left and right, he waved his hand with a knife, and directly cut a triangular opening at a position one meter away.

This triangular opening has a name, in the lingo of the bamboo craftsman, it is called cutting the cat's ear tenon. Don't underestimate Liu Xing's knives, it takes more than ten years of experience to achieve such a sharp effect.

The lean, middle-aged man was stunned for a while. He tried to pick up his own bamboo knife and tried it on a piece of bamboo.

Liu Xing smiled, and did not make fun of the thin middle-aged man, but asked him to help, and led the old man to cut off three other bamboos to make cat ears, then put it down, and measured it with a tape measure , about six meters away, cut a few smaller cat ear tenons.

The direction of the tenon and tenon of this smaller one is different. After finishing, Liu Xing called four villagers from Dongyu Village, lifted them up and assembled them together, forming a simple four-sided triangle.

The first step of erecting the bamboo building is considered complete, as long as the assembled four Dannan bamboos are buried in the mud and then leveled.

Liu Xing saw the old man Hei and the thin middle-aged man and several other villagers from Dongyu Village who stayed behind and looked at him with strange eyes, and immediately said: "Don't look! Do it, use a saw When sawing ten [-]-meter-long and thirty-three-meter-two bamboos, choose the old ones, never the tender ones."

"Oh, good! Good!!" The thin middle-aged man hurriedly got busy with a manual saw, and several other villagers hurriedly beat him up when he saw this.

At this moment, the old man Hei laughed and said: "This bamboo building is all made of southern bamboo, it seems that there is nothing like my carpenter?"

"Who said that you have a lot of work as a carpenter!" Liu Xing wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand: "You can take a few other carpenters to make four window frames measuring 1.5 meters by 1.8 meters, and don't make windows yet. Ye is the kind commonly used in building new houses in rural areas, and there is also a door frame, the specific size is 1.5 meters by [-] meters! When the prototype of the bamboo building is built, the doors and windows can be fixed."

In fact, the doors and windows of the bamboo building must be made of southern bamboo, so it looks like a whole, but Liu Xing does not seem to be wasting human resources now, so Jin made a slight change. After all, he is now helping Ah Hu to make the bamboo building, and everything is kept simple. , as long as you live comfortably.

"Good! Good!" The old man Hei quickly took out a paper and took notes, and asked Liu Xing about the specific dimensions of the doors and windows. He was surprised to find that the teenager in front of him was 30 times better than him. Carpenters who have been working for many years know a lot more, and they need to be more professional.

If this gets out, he will die.

Liu Xing naturally didn't know what the old man was thinking.

Seeing that the lean, middle-aged man had sawed some bamboos to size, he immediately picked up a bamboo knife to make mortises. Some of them needed to be as fine as millimeters, so he picked up a chisel to make mortises.

There was no other way, and he could tell that although the villagers of Dongyu Village in front of them knew some basic bamboo craftsmanship, if they wanted to make mortises, they might not have the skills at all.

So it's better to do it yourself.

As time went by, dozens of villagers successively brought in all the needed bamboo and fir, and the manpower suddenly increased.

Some villagers wanted Liu Xing to rest, and instructed them to work on the bamboo building.

Liu Xing really wanted to do this, but in the end he saw that some villagers were not helping him, so he had to abandon this idea at the moment.

But he did all the key parts of the bamboo building by himself, without any ambiguity. Just kidding, if the bamboo building collapses after it is built, his famous name will be planted in Dongyu Village.

Although he is still young, many villagers treat him like a child, but since the next hard job is coming, he must do it well.

This is the integrity that a craftsman should have, and it is also the basic guarantee for being able to earn a living outside.

The 'framing' of the bamboo building is completed, and the next step is to 'shape'.

This must use fir.

Fortunately, there are many carpenters in Dongyu Village, and there are more than a dozen of them.

They only need Liu Xing to tell you the specific method and size, and they made it in a few clicks, and then placed it around the 'frame'.

Since there are a lot of fir trees in Dongyu Village and they are not worth much in Banqiao Town, Liu Xing made a decision without authorization, that is to pave the entire floor of the bamboo building with fir trees.

If there is a slight unevenness, ask the carpenter to deal with it with an ink fountain.

Seeing this, several villagers said that they should not do it so delicately, and just do it casually, but Liu Xing drove these villagers away with a black face, and asked them to go to the bamboo building in the village to help cook.

For him, the word "casual" has never been in the mind of a craftsman when doing things. Once a habit is formed, the days of doing crafts outside will come to an end.

At twelve o'clock at noon, the prototype of the bamboo building finally took shape under the busyness of dozens of villagers.

From a distance, it really has the charm of a bamboo building.

Seeing that it was still early, Liu Xing called all the bamboo craftsmen who were resting and called them to 'add bamboo' to fix the vacant position of the bamboo building.

Build a frame, set the shape, add strips, make tenons, and shape.

This is the most recent step in building a bamboo house.

Liu Xing didn't hold back either, and took the opportunity to tell everything.

But to be honest, there are not many people present who can understand. They can only do deadly things. Once technical work is involved, they can't help but stand there and don't know what to do.

Liu Xing watched and shook his head, so he had to patiently explain in detail, and if it didn't work, he would do it himself.

But some villagers are just stupid and can't even learn how to do it.

Only then did Liu Xing understand one thing.

That is, sometimes there are really big differences between people.

If you want to do things according to your own ideas, you must have the sun come out from the west.

This is not because the villagers of Dongyu Village want to target him, but in their eyes, they can only accept such simple things as 1+1=2. Once it becomes complicated, they will not be able to turn around.

Liu Xing found out later that the reason for this was that most of the villagers in Dongyu Village had never read a book, and some of the words he said were simply incomprehensible, as uncomfortable as playing the piano to a cow.

Seeing that the construction of the bamboo house was in a hurry, and it was time to eat again, Liu Xing had no choice but to stop what he was doing, and after washing his hands, he brought all the villagers to the village bamboo house.

To Liu Xing's surprise.

Director Zhang and a few peasant women had just started washing rice and cooking on the grain drying ground. The large grass carp that had been pulled from the net in the reservoir had not been killed yet, and they were thrown on the ground and jumped around at will.

"Where's Village Chief Wang?" The hungry Liu Xing looked around and asked Director Zhang.

"He and Da Kui used saltpetre to make popsicles in the bamboo building!" Director Zhang's eyes were a little excited: "Xiao Liu! Don't you know that my Da Kui not only successfully made the mold of the popsicle, but also The popsicles were transported to Banqiao Town for sale, and within half an hour, all [-] popsicles were sold out."
