Rebirth Craftsman

Chapter 161 Making a Bamboo Bed

Thinking of this, Ye Tian shook his head. He said to Wang Afu: "Don't let your chair upside down. Ahu and Xiaohu are married. If you don't even have a decent bed, you will be seen by outsiders. Wouldn't it be a loss to Dongyu Village? s face?"

"But I can't make it?" Wang Afu replied with a smile on his face.

Several of his apprentices are also very embarrassed. Although they are all bamboo craftsmen, if they can make all kinds of bamboo products, they will not be so poor.

"You go outside to carry Nanzhu in, I said the size, you will make it!" Liu Xing looked at the time and made a decision immediately.

"Hey! Hey!" Wang Afu hurried out when he heard the words. No matter how stupid he was, he also heard that Liu Xing wanted to teach him to make a bamboo bed. This was a good opportunity to learn, and naturally he would not let it go.

If I change to someone else, I'm afraid I will definitely hide this craftsmanship strictly, and I won't teach people to death.

After all, craftsmen believe in a most logical saying, that is, the apprentice of the church, the master of starvation.

Before you completely break away from relying on craftsmanship, you must keep a hand.

However, Liu Xing had no such idea. He picked up the tape measure and began to measure the size of the house, preparing for making a bamboo bed.

This is called adapting to local conditions and is a basic operation necessary for a craftsman.

After a while, Wang Afu brought in a few apprentices and brought in a dozen bamboos.

Liu Xing glanced at it and said, "These numbers are not enough. Go and carry another twenty pieces. As for Lao Wang, you break the strips. The width of the strips is about one finger width and the length is 1.93 meters, accurate to millimeters."

Lao Wang is Liu Xing's honorific name to Wang Afu. When he heard the words accurate to the millimeter, he suddenly cried and didn't know what to do for a while.

Seeing that the apprentices around him were still standing there, they scolded: "Why are you idiots still standing? Go to the village committee to carry Nanzhu on the drying valley field! Didn't you hear what Xiao Liu said?"

"know!"

"Haha...hurry up!"

"Master is actually angry, this is rare!"

Several apprentices in their twenties joked and ran away.

It can be seen that they are not afraid of Wang Afu, but they still have a respect for Liu Xing.

Wang Afu shook his head and picked up the saw to saw a piece of southern bamboo into a length of 1.93 meters, and then began to break the stick with a stick knife.

However, no matter how careful he is, it is impossible to make the difference between the widths accurate to millimeters. This is because the craftsmanship has not been learned at home. When Liu Xing saw it from the side, he suddenly blackened his face and shook his head: "You are called a broken stick with millimeter accuracy. ?"

"I...I really can't meet the requirements you said!" Old Wang Afu blushed.

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

"I'm optimistic, I'll only teach it once!" Liu Xing took the stick knife in Wang Afu's hand, and the five fingers of his left hand were brought together before grabbing Nan Zhu in the shape of a dovetail.

With a click, Nan Zhu broke apart into a piece of sticky sticks when he put aside the stick knife. Liu Xing's index finger contracted, and another piece of sticky piece was broken open again. Repeated this several times, just like a machine. The southern bamboo became nine strips of the same size.

As for the accuracy, Wang Afu picked up the tape measure, and his eyes widened in surprise at the moment, unable to speak, there was no difference.

"Have you learned?" Liu Xing threw the stick sword to Wang Afu.

"No." Wang Afu said truthfully.

This kind of slander technique, I am afraid that it will not be possible to achieve without decades of experience, so he still admits that his IQ is not good.

However, he could see clearly Liu Xing's method of breaking the sticks just now. He picked up the stick sword and tried it. Not only did he save a lot of effort, but the width between the sticks was almost the same, so he couldn't help but get excited.

Liu Xing smiled as he looked at it and smiled. Just now teaching Wang Afu's method of stripping is one of the seven-star stripping techniques, and it is also the most basic. Wang Afu can learn it all at once, proving that there is still a foundation for the strip maker.

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 Nanzhu in the house was already enough to make a frame for a bamboo bed, Liu Xing was not continuing to talk nonsense with Wang Afu at the moment, but picked up a tape measure to "point ink" and "line" to make it.

Nanzhu has toughness and firmness, which is actually much better than Chinese 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 that is sold on the market, but the kind of household bamboo bed that is about two meters in length and width.

The four bed legs are all made by mortising and bending with the "bending method". After a while, the bed legs are made, and then assembled with the selected Nanzhu, the rough frame of the bamboo bed is obtained. .

Wang Afu, who had broken sticks on the side, was stunned. He thought that it would take Liu Xing at least half a day to make a bamboo bed frame. He didn’t think that it would take shape in less than half an hour. This completely subverted his understanding of the bamboo craftsman. what!

Liu Xing did not pay attention to Wang Afu’s expression, but chose four Nanzhu fixed bamboo bed frames of the same size. He did not use'bamboo pins' exposed outside to fix, but used bamboo inner support tenons and hidden head tenons. Superb technique to get it done.

This technique is both beautiful and strong, and laymen simply cannot see the doorway.

As a close-up viewer, Wang Afu couldn't help being stunned.

For him, if the craftsmanship of the sealer has achieved this level, it is really a master of the level.

He had felt a bit of a loss with Wang Jiabao's apprenticeship 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 the treasure!

If you learn how to make bamboo beds and open a shop selling bamboo beds in the town, it will be difficult if you don't want to make a fortune.

Seeing that the frame of the bamboo bed was completed, Liu Xing started to make the headboard. This is a face-saving project. According to the rules, it needs to be carved with flowers and dragons.

But Liu Xing knew that he didn't have this time, so everything was simple, picking up the stick knife and breaking the stick using the stick piece to weave a embossed headboard.

This embossed headboard was often woven in a small factory before his rebirth, and the money was calculated by piece, so he was very skilled, even with his eyes closed.

Wang Afu looked at him, but he was not calm. He looked at Liu Xing's mechanical hands in amazement, and he didn't dare to blink his eyes.

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

Because Liu Xing's hands were fast, his eyes couldn't keep up at all. He only felt a flower in front of him, a lotus-shaped stick flower appeared, and when he looked closely, it formed part of the relief.

"This...this..." Wang Afu rubbed his eyes vigorously, only then did he feel that the gap between himself, the sealer, and Liu Xing, was not even a star.

If you use adjectives to describe it, then he is the firefly, and Liu Xing is Haoyue, which can hardly be compared.

And while he was in a daze, Liu Xing had already woven the inner core of the embossed bedside baffle, and was about to trim the edges with scissors. When he saw Wang Afu's bewildered look, he couldn't help but pick it up. He picked up a handful of broken bamboo and threw it over: "Hey, this is how you help with things?"

"No, definitely not!" The regained Wang Afulian smiled and shook his head.

He is definitely not doing things like what he is today. To blame Liu Xing, he was really shocked.
