Rebirth Craftsman

Chapter 15 Bamboo Dragonfly

The bamboo dragonfly is one of the traditional folk children's toys, which is widely spread. It consists of two parts, one is a bamboo handle, and the other is a "wing".

When playing, rub your hands vigorously, and then loosen your hands, the bamboo dragonfly will hurl up into the sky, and it will fall down after about a minute or two of spinning in the sky.

The bamboo dragonfly is a very subtle invention in ancient times. This simple and magical toy once amazed Western missionaries and called it the "Chinese spiral".

In the 1930s, the Germans invented the helicopter propeller based on the shape and principle of the "bamboo dragonfly".

However, in 1993, Qingshi Village had never heard of bamboo dragonflies. Liu Xing can be sure that there are none in the entire Hunan Province, otherwise the market would have been selling crazy.

It wasn't until 2000 that it was passed from small vendors along the coast, and it was all the rage in the countryside at that time.

The bamboo dragonfly he is making now is made of pure hand-made sticks. The material seems to be very simple, but if you want to use your hands to fly, it is not something ordinary people can make.

Because this requires a high level of craftsmanship and a certain balance technique.

Of course, the material of the bamboo dragonfly is not limited to bamboo. Other materials, such as plastic and wood, can be made. You only need to master the principles and fly.

The principle of the bamboo dragonfly flying is that there is an inclination angle between the blades and the horizontal rotating surface that must be accurate to millimeters. When the rotor rotates, the rotating blades push the air downwards, forming a strong wind, and the air also gives the bamboo dragonfly a bit The upward reaction lift force.

This lift changes with the inclination angle of the blades, the larger the inclination angle, the larger the lift, and the smaller the inclination angle, the lower the lift.When the lift force is greater than the gravity of the bamboo dragonfly, the bamboo dragonfly can fly upward.

The blade and the rotating surface of the bamboo dragonfly also maintain an inclination angle, so when we rotate the bamboo dragonfly by hand, it will get the counteracting force of the air and fly upwards.

The reason why I choose to make bamboo dragonflies is to sell some money and familiarize yourself with the craftsmanship. The most important thing is to see how the bamboo dragonflies are sold. If the demand exceeds supply like the handmade grasshoppers before, then open a market in a short time. The bamboo products store is a good choice.

The reason why I opened a business in a short time is because it is too easy for other people to learn how to make bamboo dragonflies, and they can't be operated as a lifetime iron rice bowl.

If the handmade grasshoppers and bamboo dragonflies are sold well, they will definitely bring him a lot of popularity in a short time. When his rice noodle shop opens, it will definitely have a multiplier effect on the business.

Therefore, every thing he does now is to pave the way for the rice noodle shop.

After all, food, clothing, housing, and food are ranked first.

This rice noodle shop belongs to the catering industry. As long as the business is good and the craftsmanship is not fake, there will be no problems in the whole life.

As a reborn craftsman, although he can't say that he has reached the realm of a master in cooking, he still knows some inside stories after decades of smashing, and he has collected a lot of secret recipes for cooking and soup.

Many of them have not appeared in the past nine years, at least not in Qingshi Village, so if he uses them, it will be difficult for him to make money.

Rumble~~!Rumble~~!

A tractor appeared on the country road, and Liu Xing's thoughts were interrupted by the roaring sound.

He looked up and saw his father and uncle standing on the open-air carriage, and he even shouted to his mother on the drying valley: "The tractor with the dustpan is here, mom, don't make up, take the dustpan out first. ."

"Okay." Mother Zhu Meiling agreed, and after patted the dust on her body, she took Liu Hang back.

The tractor belonged to the village’s king Xiaohe. After he drove it in front of Liu Xing, he said, “Say it first! The freight to the market is five yuan, and I won’t go if it’s less.”

Although this is very kind, it is very sad.

Of course, the most important thing is that Liu Xing's family will not give money. After all, they are all in the same village. You can see the current economic situation of Liu Xing's family.

"You really are, I'm afraid we will lose your money!" Liu Dageng now carries hundreds of dollars in his arms, and his words are suddenly much harder than before: "It's five dollars, take it!"

After speaking, Liu Dageng took out a stack of banknotes, and after a glance at Wang Xiaohe, he took out one of the five yuan and handed it over.

Wang Xiaohe reached out in surprise and accepted: "Yes, Da Geng! It is said that your family has recently made a fortune by selling dustpans. I didn't believe it before, but now it seems to be true!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Liu Dageng waved his hand impatiently.

Wang Xiaohe is very clear about the character of this person. He is a typical snob. Unless he is the only one in the village who has a tractor, he would not be invited to transport the dustpan.

"Haha... it's me who said the wrong thing!" Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Wang Xiaohe quickly opened the door of the tractor open-air carriage.

Upon seeing this, Liu Xing took the lead to put the woven dustpan on it. On the side, the fourth uncle Liu Huaqing and his younger brother Liu Hang rushed over to help. They were tired and sweating profusely.

"136, 137..." Mother Zhu Meiling was counting on the sidelines. This can be sloppy, one less or one more would cost two dollars!

Wang Xiaohe did not help. Instead, he dangled his cigarette and watched with a smile. Seeing that Liu Dageng was also idle, he quickly handed over a cigarette: "Your dustpan is well made!"

"Normally!" Liu Dageng smiled sly, reaching out and pushing away the cigarette.

"Learned from your father-in-law?" Wang Xiaohe asked again.

"Yeah!" Liu Dageng did not deny.

If I learned from Liu Xing, it would be a shame.

"How much can one sell for?" Wang Xiaohe began to think carefully.

"There is more than one piece." Liu Dageng did not report the specific number.

Wang Xiaohe asked, "How much is a piece? When it's fine, I will ask my mother-in-law to knit some to sell at the market to make money and spend money."

"One piece and five!" Liu Dageng frowned and replied.

"Oh...then you have to have four to five hundred in this house!" Wang Xiaohe glanced at the tractor's cargo box: "This car will definitely not fit. Two cars must be installed."

"I said you bullshit a bit?" Liu Huaqing in the carriage couldn't help but said, "My brother said there are only 400 dustpans in total, and each of the Nanzhu woven dustpans is only one or two catties, and 400 at best. One thousand catties, this is divided into two trucks, how many catties does one truck hold? It's less than five hundred catties, and you don't want to make money to buy medicine and eat like this!"

Compared to Liu Dageng, Liu Huaqing is not a good talker. He is most likely to not open his eyes to talk nonsense, especially when he bullies his brother in front of him, although he often bullies.
