Rebirth Craftsman

The bamboo house is called a "bamboo house" because it is a two-story building. If there is no second floor, it can only be called a bamboo house.

Compared with bamboo houses, bamboo houses are much more complicated.

The most important point is that there are more stairs.

Don't underestimate the stairs. There were dozens of villagers in Dongyu Village who didn't know the principle. Liu Xing had no choice but to make use of aged Nanzhu.

Weaving stairs is a technical job, without a certain level, you don't even think of "playing" at all.

But for Liu Xing, he can do it with his eyes closed. After all, he didn't know how many stairs made from Nanzhu in the coastal area before he was reborn. He was familiar with all kinds of arcs, zigzags, and various tricks.

As for the other tasks, the prototype of the bamboo building has now been made. I believe it shouldn't be difficult to make it the way it is. After all, there are also a few bamboo craftsmen present, and you can learn it quickly with a little teaching.

And this time the advantage of the large number of people and power is shown. Under the leadership of the old man, those carpenters installed the finished doors and windows in the rudimentary bamboo frame without Liu Xing’s explanation. Some carpenters even made them. The enthusiasm of the window leaves and door leaves of the village made the villagers passing by.

Under the command of the lean middle-aged man, the progress of the sealer was not much slower.

When Liu Xing made the stairs, he asked people to weave the'sticker wall' and install it in the empty place of the bamboo building. Although this job is simple, the workload is very large. If it is not for the crowds, I'm afraid It can't be finished in a short time.

As time went by, it soon arrived at more than four o'clock in the afternoon.

The entire building of the bamboo building is just short of "covering" and laying the floor on the second floor.

According to the old black man, there are many fir in Dongyu Village. Anyway, piled up on the drying valley field at the gate of the village committee bamboo building is also a burden. It is better to use it to pave the second floor.

Liu Xing did not agree to this, because although the material of cedar is not easy to deform, it is a good material for making floor slabs, but the characteristic of bamboo building itself is light weight. If the floor slabs are all cedar, I am afraid that the overall bearing capacity will be great. pressure.

In other words, it is the best choice to use Nanzhu as a base. As long as you follow what he said, it will definitely be much better than Chinese fir.

The black old man couldn't hold back Liu Xing, so he had to compromise and saw Nanzhu with the thin middle-aged man as the second floor slab.

There was a lot of care in this floor slab, and Liu Xing didn't hide it. He said it all in front of the black old man and the thin middle-aged man until the two villagers understood it.

The lean middle-aged man was even more surprised when he sighed. For him, he didn’t know that laying a slab had so many meticulous and practical skills in it. If Liu Xing had come to Dongyu Village a few years earlier, he would have been afraid His current craftsmanship will not be half-hearted.

The old black man also admired Liu Xing very much. He glanced at the roof of the bamboo building: "I thought it would take several days to build the bamboo building! Now it seems that one day is enough, but the roof must be built quickly, otherwise it will be built. Rain is in trouble."

"Isn't the cattle felt shipped?" Liu Xing smiled after hearing the words, "You have many bamboos in the south of Dongyu Village. Don't use straw to cover the roof. Use southern bamboo to cover it, right! Have you got the tung oil? Can arrange free people to brush."

Tung oil is an excellent dry vegetable oil, which has the characteristics of fast drying, light specific gravity, good gloss, strong adhesion, heat resistance, acid resistance, alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, rust prevention, and non-conductivity. It has a wide range of uses.

It is the main raw material for the manufacture of paints and inks. It is widely used as waterproof, anti-corrosion and anti-rust coatings for buildings, machinery, weapons, vehicles, fishing gear, and electrical appliances. It can also be used to make oil cloth, oil paper, soap, pesticides and medical vomiting agents and killers. Insect agents, etc.

Dongyu Village is so poor, if you want to go to the town to buy varnish to paint the whole bamboo building, it is simply impossible.

Tung oil is an industrial vegetable oil made by mechanically or manually squeezing the harvested tung tree fruits. Dongyu Village should have a lot of it.

As for paulownia, it is a perennial woody forest that grows in mountainous areas far away from cities.It has strong resistance to diseases and insects, and no fertilizer and pesticides are required during the entire growth process.

Tung oil is a natural vegetable oil, which has the characteristics of rapid drying, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance.Tung oil also has good water resistance and is widely used in construction, paint, printing (ink), agricultural machinery, electronic industry, etc.

Of course, in the countryside in 1993, tung oil was not valuable. Most of the squeezed out was used to brush wood products. Hearing Liu Xing’s question, the old man replied, “The black dog of tung oil went back to get it. The big bucket! I wanted to sell it for some money to buy new clothes for my wife, who knows that no one wants it after three years at home."

"Really?" Liu Xing didn't say anything for a moment, but picked up the saw and tape measure and climbed onto the roof of the bamboo building to get busy.

Today, the roof of the bamboo building must be completed before it gets dark. As for the others, it’s okay to drag it until tomorrow. After all, if he doesn’t demonstrate the bamboo bedding craftsmanship on the roof of the bamboo building, it is estimated that none of the people present will be able to do it. .

The old black man climbed up to help Liu Xing calculate the waterway.

The waterway is the height of the slope where the roof takes the water.

Don't underestimate this waterway. If the bamboo building is lowered, it might leak.

If it is high, it will be very dangerous to repair the roof in the future.

Therefore, it is necessary to calculate the most appropriate size.

Old Black Man is an old carpenter, he will calculate the waterway.

But he didn't show up in front of Liu Xing. After all, he knew that Liu Xing was no ordinary person.

After seeing that the waterway calculated by Liu Xing was not much different from his own, he greeted the two apprentices to come up and start laying out the opened southern bamboo strips.

Liu Xing was not idle, but asked the lean middle-aged man on the ground to choose an old Nanzhu with a diameter of about 120, cut it in half, and hand it over in the form of a general tenon.

General tenon, the common name for bamboo tiles in coastal areas.

The craftsmanship is not difficult, but the tenon is extremely difficult to symmetrical.

Because this tenon is interlocking, it can not only prevent rain from leaking, but also prevent it from loosening and falling.

After the lean middle-aged man made a few with saws and chisels, he had to ridicule Liu Xing to demonstrate.

There is no way, his technique is only that good, and he can't even make a high profile.

Liu Xing shook his head, and had to go down to the bamboo building to patiently teach a lean middle-aged man to make general tenons, and he personally made a few with a saw.

After the lean middle-aged man understood it, he admired it. It turned out that the technique was wrong, not that he had a problem with his IQ.

The bamboo tiles on the roof of the bamboo building require a total of 5,786 pieces.

This is a big project. After checking the time, the lean middle-aged man summoned nearly 20 villagers from Dongyu Village to participate in the production.
