Rebirth Craftsman

"Here are the sample sizes of six bamboo mats. As my boss said, you can just do it according to this size, but the quality must be guaranteed!" After the delivery man exclaimed, he stepped on the southern motorcycle and was in the row. The thick blue smoke of the trachea stretched away.

Liu Xing quickly clutched his nose and watched the delivery man leave.

However, what was funny in the next second was that the delivery man flew directly into the canal on the side of the road because he was driving too fast and avoiding a passerby in time.

Looking at the embarrassment of the delivery man getting up from the ditch, Liu Xing knew that people should be fine, but Southern Motorcycle is hard to say.

Because judging from the harsh sound of the southern motorcycle falling into the ditch, it must have broken an important part.

"This guy! Now you know the consequences of drinking and driving!" Liu Xing did not take care of the delivery man, but walked into the greenhouse with the bamboo mat.

It was not that he was indifferent, but that when the delivery man fell into the canal, many enthusiastic villagers came forward to help. Although the motorcycle could not be pulled up temporarily, the people had already gone ashore. Sitting on the road with a sad face and not knowing what to do for a while.

In the greenhouse.

Sitting by the window, Liu Xingduan opened the bamboo mat sample rolled up together.

As for the size, he did not care too much, but checked the quality of the bamboo mat samples.

He was surprised to find that the bamboo mat sent by Zhang Yan to the delivery man was not wrapped around it, and he touched it with his hand, and it was abruptly pricked.

"Such a bamboo mat, if you sleep at night, it would be miserable!" Liu Xing shook his head sighfully. No wonder Zhang Yan's Limin Department Store always gets complaints. This is probably one of the reasons. If he does the bamboo mat, he must use the edge wrapping machine to wrap the edges of the bamboo mat, so that it is both beautiful and attractive.

"But where can I buy the hemming machine?" Liu Xing suddenly thought of this substantive problem. It is 1993, I am afraid that the hemming machine has not yet been produced.

If there is, it is impossible for the manufacturer of bamboo mats not to wrap the edges of the bamboo mats.

"There is also the technique of breaking the silk strips, it seems that they are not in place!" Liu Xing reached out and touched the flatness of the back of the bamboo mat, and came to the conclusion that the whole is not on the same plane, and the overall thickness of the strips is too different. far.

If such a bamboo mat is placed on the bed, it will be uncomfortable.

Of course, Liu Xing also knows that this is no wonder the producer.

After all, when the bamboo was breaking through the city, it was not done synchronously. How could it be possible to ensure that the thickness was absolutely consistent, even he could not achieve such a technique.

This can only be achieved by the use of machinery, such as the planer technology.

Now that he has a planer, the technical problem of inconsistent thickness will be solved. As for the hemming machine, he remembers that the sewing machine can be replaced, and his mother has one, but it has been kept at home for a long time, I don’t know if it can be used. .

Thinking of this, Liu Xing was about to call out Zhu Xiuqing: "Sister, can you weave this bamboo mat?"

"Yes, but I'm very slow to break the silk strips, I'm afraid I won't be able to do one or two in a day!" Zhu Xiuqing who came over said embarrassedly.

"The broken silk strips can be fixed with a stripping machine, and the thickness of the strips is inconsistent. I can also use a flat planer to deal with it. You can say how many sheets can be produced in a day in this situation?" Liu Xing said with a smile. .

"I'm really not sure about this. After all, I don't know how to weave bamboo mats. Why don't you let me try it first?" Zhu Xiuqing told the truth. She was afraid that she would praise Haikou by then, but it would be troublesome if she couldn't finish it.

"Okay!" Liu Xing nodded.

Immediately walked to the planer, picked up a large clip made of pig iron and fixed it on it.

The clip made of pig iron is a press planer with rollers. Although the overall structure seems simple, it is able to press wood and bamboo into the same thickness in an instant. Don’t underestimate this press planer. This is a great invention. , At least save the carpenter nearly double the time of cutting.

He adjusted the planer now, just want to try to see if he can process the thickness of Nanzhu in large quantities. If it works, there will be no problem with the order of 1,000 bamboo mats placed by Zhang Yan, except for time. It's a little more compact.

On the side, Zhu Xiuqing is now able to use the cracking machine very skillfully. She picked up a long and short Nanzhu and broke it into silk strips.

The so-called silk strips.

It is the thin strips, which are much smaller than dustpans and baskets. They are as soft as hair, so they are called silk strips.

Broken silk sticks are very particular, and they are also the most difficult sticks to break in the craftsmanship of a stickman.

But now there is a decontamination machine, just adjust the size.

Seeing the screaming silk strips coming out of the other end of the smashing machine, Zhu Xiuqing quickly reached out to catch them, and then placed them neatly on the wooden bench aside. Seeing that there were several broken pieces, they quickly selected them carefully.

Liu Xing picked up a dozen silk strips and placed them on the port of the planer, then cautiously pushed them in.

Zhu Xiuqing watched from the sidelines. She thought that the silk strips would turn into powder, but the next second she knew it was wrong. At the other port of the planer, a dozen side by side silk strips appeared.

Their thickness has reached absolute consistency.

Flat and smooth, it looks very seductive.

Liu Xing picked it up and took a look, smiled very satisfied, and then turned to ask Zhu Xiuqing: "Sister, do you need cooking, soaking and other processes when making bamboo mats?"

"Of course, otherwise, the bamboo mats made without steaming and soaking will have an unpleasant smell after a long time!" Zhu Xiuqing said seriously, but then a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes: "Cousin You should be quite clear about the process of making bamboo mats! Why do you ask me?"

"Can't you ask?" Liu Xing gave a faint smile, looking at the ten or so silk strips on the planer, lost in thought.

He knows the process of making bamboo mats. Otherwise, how could he ask about the need for steaming and soaking?

In fact, Zhu Xiuqing did not fully comprehend the intention of his words, that is, the silk strips used as bamboo mats can remove the odor without steaming or soaking.

This peculiar smell, to put it plainly, is the astringency of bamboo, which is what people often call "angry".

The astringent bamboo will evaporate with the water after steaming, leaving its own unique faint bamboo fragrance. This kind of bamboo fragrance is almost inaudible, but when a person sleeps on it, it will be triggered by the body temperature of the human body. Come out, it is very comfortable to hear, this is the main function of steaming silk strips.

As for the effect of soaking, it is to remove the toughness of the bamboo itself. After all, if the toughness is not removed, the bamboo mat woven by nylon rope is easy to deform and will become scrap after a few days.
