Reborn Craftsman

Chapter 219 Making Bamboo Rafts!

How can Liu Xing speak ill of Xiao Tengfei so boringly at this time, he is leading Wang Afu, Wang Jiabao and Ahu to make bamboo rafts.

Don't underestimate the simplicity of the appearance of the bamboo raft, but in fact there is a lot of knowledge in making it.

Liu Xing also learned how to make bamboo rafts from her master bamboo craftsman in the coastal area. She has specified dimensions, and there are also special terms in it, such as "a mountain in the east, ropes around seven bamboo poles", this term is actually Hokkien is esoteric and difficult to understand. Before rebirth, Liu Xing could only speak it, but he didn't know the meaning.

Of course, I learned the craft of making bamboo rafts, and I also made a lot of money because of it.

But today it's not for making money, but for my sister-in-law's illness.

Seeing that the 36 dandelion bamboos were felled on the embankment, he picked up the vines and began to tie knots to make bamboo rafts. Wang Afu who was on the side was about to help, but he couldn't help laughing in the next second.

"What's wrong?" Liu Xing looked up.

"Yeah! What's so funny?" Ah Hu was puzzled.

Zhang Xiaobei, Sikong Lei and Lin Putao were also puzzled.

"Look at the opposite side of the East Lake, the small fishing boat that Mr. Xiao snatched... he actually sank! Hahaha... It's so funny, so funny!" Wang Afu saw Mr. Xiao climbed onto the shore in a state of embarrassment, and couldn't help it at the moment. laughed.

Liu Xing also laughed when he heard this.

He looked at Donghu Mountain on the opposite side with a happy smile on his face.

Tell you to grab Brother Lei's small fishing boat, hum!Now comes the retribution!

To be honest, if he didn't want to cause trouble, the small fishing boat would have sunk in the middle of the East Lake at this time.

Sikonglei, Ahu, Wang Jiabao, Lin Putao, and Zhang Xiaobei also laughed, but Lao Yutou was unhappy, because the small fishing boat that sank had been with him for more than 20 years, and there was affection without family affection. It sank like this, to be honest he was very sad.

Liu Xing saw this scene in his eyes and kept it in his heart. He reached out and patted the old Yutou's shoulder: "Don't worry, the old ones won't go, and the new ones won't come. After we make this bamboo raft, we will go to the East Lake." Shan, this bamboo raft belongs to you."

"How good is the bamboo raft you made!" Old Yutou replied disapprovingly.

Hearing this, Wang Anfu quickly kicked Lao Yutou, seeing that Liu Xing didn't care and smiled, so he didn't say anything, but helped to continue making the bamboo raft.

The size of this bamboo raft is three meters long and two meters wide, but it is a bit difficult to use vines to tie it tightly and float on the water.

Liu Xing knew that Wang Afu and Wang Jiabao would not tie this knot, so he demonstrated it patiently, and after he tied two of the bamboos tightly, he said: "See, this is called a 'spray knot', and it will break when it meets water. It swells, and it will become tighter and tighter. If it is not corroded, it will be fine for ten years."

"Let me try!" Wang Afu immediately picked up a vine and tied it in waves like a model, but for some reason, after binding two bamboos tightly, they fell apart with a snap.

"No way?" Wang Afu's face immediately became ugly.

He originally thought that the wave knot would not be too difficult!How could he have imagined that in his hands, he didn't succeed, and even made an embarrassment. He was really angry.

Liu Xing looked and shook his head, seeing that the weather was getting hotter and hotter, he didn't waste time, but picked up vines and quickly made a bamboo raft.

Spray knots are easy to tie, after all, he was very experienced before his rebirth.

But if the whole thing wants to be straight like a plane, this requires a lot of his craftsmanship.

But for Liu Xing, it was not difficult. He picked up a straight bamboo and took a picture. Seeing that it could be used as a "bizi", he immediately placed it under the bamboo that had been laid with waves and knotted it, and then cut it one by one. Continue to tie the spray knot.

With the passage of time, the overall structure of the bamboo raft was quickly formed. The distance between the south bamboos and the width between the wave knots were evenly uniform, without any deviation.

People step on it, and there is no looseness at all.

Old Yutou's eyes finally lit up this time, he touched the structure of the bamboo raft up and down, and couldn't help but admire: "My God, this craftsmanship is really impatient, if you give it to me, it will come in handy. "

"Didn't you say no before?" Wang Afu couldn't help but say something.

"That's right, why did you change your mouth this time, just like my local dog, who said that the smell of the cake is so ugly after eating it!" Wang Jiabao said teasingly.

"You...huh! Don't talk nonsense to you!" Old Yutou saw that Liu Xing was holding a knife to deal with the edge of the bamboo raft, so he hurried up to help.

"Just watch from the sidelines!" Liu Xing hastily pushed away the old fish head.

This is a matter that Wang Afu, the bamboo craftsman, can't handle, so of course he can't let the old Yutou get involved.

"Hey! Hey!" Old Yutou was very embarrassed for a while, neither standing nor sitting.

If he didn't get the bamboo raft because he looked down on Liu Xing before, then the loss outweighs the gain.

How could Liu Xing have such an idea? Seeing that the overall structure of the bamboo raft had been completed, he immediately picked up a bamboo knife and cut a hole neatly at the front of the bamboo raft, and then said to Wang Afu: "Come and help me. Put the dovetail through the raft."

"Okay!" As a bamboo craftsman, Wang Afu naturally knew the structure of the dovetail tenon. He picked up a triangular bamboo piece about three meters long from the embankment, and carefully inserted it into the front of the bamboo raft. Liu Xing Cut out the mouth.

"It's a bit tight!" Wang Afu looked at Liu Xing.

"It's okay, just lightly hammer it with a bamboo knife!" Said Liu Xing, who was standing on the bamboo raft.

"Okay!" Wang Jiabao quickly followed suit.

As the dovetail tenon gradually penetrated into the mouth of the front end of the bamboo raft, the section of the front end of the bamboo raft away from the opening gradually turned up and formed a beautiful arc.

This radian makes the bamboo raft made by Liu Xing more like a bamboo raft.

"Wow!" Ah Hu couldn't help shouting out.

For him, this was simply a moment of witnessing a miracle.

Under Liu Xing's production, each piece of bamboo can be bent and bent, which is really unimaginable.

Sikong Lei and Lin Putao were also surprised by Liu Xing's craftsmanship. Although they knew that Liu Xing was very powerful, it was really unexpected that he was so powerful.

The old Yutou was even more delighted, he said happily: "This kid is amazing! This bamboo raft is so finely made, I'm afraid that the old woman will treat me as a treasure and refuse to carry passengers when I row back."

"Hehe...don't exaggerate!" Liu Xing smiled and patted the bamboo shavings on his body: "The bamboo raft is not particular about the material, it is wet southern bamboo, not brushed with tung oil, so it won't last for a few years. "

"Then can I go back and do some repainting?" the old Yutou was anxious.

"Of course you can, but you must air-dry the southern bamboo first. The inside is very particular. Don't expose it to the sun. After all, the bamboo raft floating on the water is designed by using the hollow of the southern bamboo. Once exposed to the sun, it will crack. This bamboo raft will be scrapped!" Liu Xing said everything he knew, but he didn't care whether the old Yutou could remember it or not.

Of course, I can't control it.

Seeing the scorching sun in the sky, he turned to Sikong Lei and said, "Let's go! Get on the bamboo raft to Donghu Mountain!"

"Is that enough?" Sikong Lei couldn't help asking.

"Hmm!" Liu Xing picked up the prepared 'strut' and propped it on the embankment, and the bamboo raft quickly slid into the water.

Due to the exquisite production and fine workmanship, Liu Xing stood on it as stable as Mount Tai, and walked on it as if walking on flat ground, without any swaying feeling.

Sikong Lei looked at it and smiled, took Lin Putao's hand and jumped up.

The bamboo raft only shook slightly, and did not sink because of the addition of two people.

"Niuuuuuuuuuu!" The old Yutou quickly jumped onto the bamboo raft with his Sikong cap in his arms. This was the first time he had seen such stability on the bamboo raft.

To put it bluntly, his small fishing boat is simply incomparable.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoyu, who was carrying a medical kit on his back, jumped up cautiously. Seeing that there was no difference between standing on the embankment, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Liu Xing, let's go back first. If my sister-in-law's illness is cured before three o'clock in the afternoon, we will go back to Dongyu Village along the canyon. If not before three o'clock, then remember not to take the canyon road!" Ah Hu waved his hand towards Liu Xing, and said with a smile.

"I remember!" Liu Xinglian nodded.

"Goodbye!" Wang Afu said repeatedly.

"Goodbye!" Liu Xing also waved.
