Reborn Craftsman

Several apprentices in their 20s laughed and ran away in a hurry.

It can be seen that they are not afraid of Wang Afu, but they are still in awe of Liu Xing.

Wang Afu shook his head, picked up the saw, and sawed a piece of Nanzhu into 1.9 meters and three lengths, and then started to break the bamboo with a bamboo knife.

However, no matter how careful he is, it is impossible to accurately measure the gap between the widths to millimeters. This is because he has not mastered the craftsmanship. Liu Xing saw it from the side, and immediately turned dark and shook his head: "You are called a broken bamboo strip that is accurate to millimeters." ?"

"I...I really can't meet your requirements!" Wang Afu blushed.

Although Liu Xing didn't scold him, he felt worse than being beaten.

"Look, I'll only teach it once!" Liu Xing took the bamboo knife in Wang Afu's hand, put the five fingers of his left hand together and grabbed Nanzhu in the shape of a swallowtail.

There was a click sound, and the bamboo was split into pieces by the knife. Liu Xing's index finger retracted, and another piece of bamboo was broken again. Repeated this several times, it was like a machine. The Nanzhu becomes nine strips of the same size.

As for the accuracy, Wang Afu picked up the measuring tape and measured it, his eyes widened in shock and he couldn't speak, there was no difference at all.

"Have you learned it?" Liu Xing threw the bamboo knife to Wang Afu.

"No." Wang Afu said truthfully.

This kind of slandering technique is probably impossible to achieve without decades of experience, so it's better for him to admit that his IQ is not good enough.

However, Liu Xing saw clearly the way Liu Xing broke the bamboo strips just now, so he picked up the strip knife and tried it, and saw that breaking the bamboo strips not only saves a lot of labor, even the width of the strips is almost the same, so he couldn't help but get excited.

Liu Xing looked at it and smiled. The technique of breaking bamboo strips taught to Wang Afu just now is one of the seven-star techniques for breaking bamboo strips, and it is also the most basic. Wang Afu can learn it all at once, which proves that the bamboo strip craftsman still has the basics.

But if you want to use it as freely as him, I'm afraid it won't work without a few years of proficiency.

Seeing that the bamboo in the house was enough to make the frame of a bamboo bed, Liu Xing did not continue talking nonsense with Wang Afu, but picked up the tape measure to "dot ink" and "mark lines" to make it.

Nanzhu's toughness and hardness are actually much better than fir and pine, so the 'bending method' can be used to speed up the production of bamboo beds.

The shape of the bamboo bed made by Liu Xing is not the kind of bamboo bed sold in the market for enjoying the shade, but the kind of home-style bamboo bed with a length and width of about two meters.

The four bed legs are made by chiseling and mortise bending in the "bending method". After a while, the bed legs are made, and then assembled with the selected southern bamboo, the general frame of the bamboo bed comes out

Wang Afu, who had broken bamboo strips beside him, was stunned for a moment. He thought Liu Xing would take at least half a day to make the bamboo bed frame, but he didn't expect it to take shape in less than half an hour. ah!

Liu Xing did not pay attention to Wang Afu's expression, but chose four South bamboos of the same size to fix the bamboo bed frame. He did not use "bamboo pins" to fix them on the outside, but used bamboo inner support tenons and hidden head tenons. Superb way to get it done.

This technique is both beautiful and strong, and laymen can't see the way at all

And Wang Afu, as a close observer, couldn't help being stunned for a while.

For him, to achieve such a level of bamboo craftsman's craftsmanship is really a master level of proficiency

He felt that he was at a disadvantage when he was apprenticed to Wang Jiabao before. After all, Liu Xing was only 14 years old. Now it seems that this is not the case at all. He has picked up a treasure!

If I learn how to make bamboo beds, I'm afraid it will be difficult not to make a fortune if I open a shop selling bamboo beds in the town.

Seeing that the frame of the bamboo bed was completed, Liu Xing started to make the headboard of the bed. This is a prestige project. According to the rules, it needs to be carved.

But Liu Xing knew that he didn't have the time, so he kept everything simple, picked up the bamboo knife, and used the bamboo strips to weave a relief-shaped bedside board

This embossed headboard was often woven in a small factory before he was reborn, and the money was calculated on a piece-by-piece basis, so he was so proficient that he could weave it even with his eyes closed.

Wang Afu on the side was not calm anymore, he looked at Liu Xing's mechanically skillful hands in astonishment, and he didn't dare to blink his eyes.

I wanted to see the whole weaving process clearly, but in the end I realized that this is simply impossible.

Because Liu Xing's hands are so fast that his eyes can't keep up, he just feels a flower in the shape of a lotus flower appears in front of him, and when he looks carefully, it forms a part of the relief.

"This... this..." Wang Afu rubbed his eyes vigorously, only then did he feel that the gap between him, a bamboo craftsman, and Liu Xing was not even the slightest bit

Chapter 159 Making a Bamboo Bed

If you use adjectives to describe him, then he is Firefly, and Liu Xing is Haoyue, they cannot be compared.

While he was in a daze, Liu Xing had already woven the inner core of the embossed bedside baffle, and was about to use scissors to trim the edges and shape the shape. He picked up a handful of broken bamboo and threw it over: "Hey, is this how you help out?"

"No, definitely not!" Wang A Fulian smiled and shook his head when he came back to his senses.

He is definitely not the way he is today when he usually does things. If you want to blame it, you can blame Liu Xing. It really shocked him too much.

"Then hurry up, I might go back to the Zhangjia farm house in the afternoon, but I don't have time to hang around here with you." Liu Xing patted the dust on his body, found scissors from the tool bag, and repaired the embossed bed side of the head fender.

Since the whole embossed bedside baffle is made up of bamboo strips, which is soft and has no structural strength, Liu Xing found bamboo that is as thick as an arm and started to make support points.

When Wang Afu heard that Liu Xing was going to leave in the afternoon, he even said: "The bamboo building in the village has not started construction yet. I, Wang Jiabao and others can't make a deal if you leave."

In fact, he wanted to say that I haven't mastered my skills yet. If you leave, you will lose face at that time.

It's just that the words changed as soon as the words came to his lips. He didn't dare to say them at all, for fear that Liu Xing would kick him and say that his intentions in apprenticeship were not pure.

"Hehe... that's your business, I can't control it. I made an agreement with Village Chief Wang that I was only responsible for designing the maintenance plan, not the maintenance!" Liu Xing didn't raise his head: "But don't worry. , the bamboo building in the village is still well preserved, and it shouldn’t be difficult to repair it.”

"I still don't want you to go!" Wang Afu scratched his head and said.

This is what he was telling the truth. If Liu Xing stayed in Dongyu Village alone, then the entire Dongyu Village would definitely become richer.

After all, Dongyu Village couldn't make up its mind about many things, but after Liu Xing came, everything changed and became hopeful.

"If you don't leave, you can't do it! My family also needs to harvest late rice!" How could Liu Xing not know what Wang Afu meant, so he just found an excuse and perfunctoryly said after smiling.

Wang Afu shook his head helplessly, and was about to keep Liu Xing to stay in Dongyu Village for a few more days, when the hunchback village chief appeared at the door.

"Are you here to help today?" Wang Afu asked casually looking at the hunchbacked village chief.

"No, I'm here to discuss with Wang Jiabao about building a bamboo building!" The village head hunchback laughed, and took out two packs of Baisha cigarettes and handed one to Liu Xing and the other to Wang Afu.

Baisha cigarettes are not cheap in Banqiao Town, they can be bought for two yuan a pack, and the fact that the hunchbacked village chief can take them out shows how much he cares about building the bamboo house.

"I don't smoke." Liu Xing refused with a wave of his hand.

"Take it, if you don't accept it, you will look down on my old man!" the hunchbacked village chief said.

He said that he asked Wang Jiabao and Wang Afu to build the bamboo house, but in fact he asked Liu Xing to help guide him. Although he didn't say this, even a fool could hear it.

Liu Xing is a person who has been reborn, so there is no way he doesn’t understand this kind of human nature, so he had no choice but to accept the cigarette, and then said to Wang Afu: "Go and discuss with Wang Jiabao about building a bamboo house! This bamboo bed Teach me."

"Hey! Hey!" Wang Afu reluctantly put down the bamboo knife in his hand, and after carefully looking at the structure of the bamboo bed, he took the lead and walked out.

After walking out of the bamboo building, I realized that the number of villagers who asked Wang Jiabao to build a bamboo building today is not ordinary. There are at least nearly a hundred villagers surrounded by the upper three floors and the outer three floors by the roadside of the township road.

At this time, Wang Afu knew why the hunchbacked village head, who is usually so penniless, wanted to buy cigarettes for him. It turned out that he was afraid that the business would be too much, so he didn't build bamboo houses for the villagers of Shimo Village in the end!

Seeing that Wang Jiabao's coat pockets were full of cigarettes of various grades, he immediately ran over in dissatisfaction.
