1259. This is wealth (5)

In ancient times, every household used wooden barrels to fill water. The wooden barrels were made of wooden boards and iron hoops. Bamboo boards were rarely used because bamboo boards were easily affected by heat expansion and contraction, and problems would occur after a long period of wind and sun exposure.

There are bamboo buckets in Hongyang. This kind of bucket is actually a wooden bucket. It first uses a wooden board to hoop out a bucket and then paste bamboo boards on the outer layer. This is the bucket used by landlords and wealthy people in the past. The bamboo boards have painted, carved decorations, which look better and more luxurious.

A layer of bamboo slices is pasted outside the wooden barrel and it becomes a bamboo bucket. This sounds simple, but it is not easy to make, because the bamboo slices and the wooden barrel are closely connected, which is a technique.

Since bamboo buckets were used for wealthy families, how could ordinary families be willing to waste money to paste a layer of bamboo slices on wooden buckets? In ancient times when productivity was low, gorgeousness and luxury were not a good choice for the people.

Therefore, in the cultural catastrophe decades ago, the bamboo buckets found from the old landlords and old capitalists were smashed to pieces. The young generals did not allow coopers to do such things that were used by capitalists, and the production technology of bamboo buckets was once cut off.

Ao Zhiman was very interested in these handicrafts. He was a young man and later learned this technique from an old cooper. He was the only person in the village who could make bamboo buckets. Now, this technique has been passed on to his grandson.

In the morning, Ao Jinfu came to Ao Muyang's house with some wood chips and bamboo chips. He also carried a box, a very modern plastic box. After opening it, there were saws, planes, chisels, files, sandpapers, various rulers, hammers, small axes, etc.

Looking at these ordered tools, Ao Muyang asked, "Oh, Jin Fu, is this the toolbox your grandfather bought for you?"

Ao Jinfu shook his head and said, "No."

"Who bought that?"

"Uncle Liao."

"You speak in full, who is Uncle Liao?"

"A tourist likes handicrafts. My grandfather made a few things for him, and he bought me this toolbox." Ao Jinfu was forced to say a few more words.

Ao Muyang nodded and said, "Then this person is really good, this box is not cheap."

Jiang Xue set up a video recorder, and she asked Ao Jinfu with a smile: "Brother, how long does it take for you to do this?"

Ao Jinfu sniffed and muttered for a while. Xu Nan squatted in front of him and asked, "Speak louder."

As a result, the boy's head lowered even more.

Xu Nan looked at Ao Muyang with help, Ao Muyang pointed to her collar and said, "Cough cough, I'm a little exposed."

As a result, the big girl from Kyoto looked down and said in surprise: "Did you come from time to time a thousand years ago? You just exposed a little cleavage. What is this exposing? Is it good to be like this in low-cut costumes?"

After hearing this, Ao Jinfu's face turned red and he almost clamped his head between his legs.

After Xu Nan stood up, he became more normal. He counted his fingers and said, "It takes half an hour to polish, one and a half hours to hose the barrel, one and a half hours to carve the bamboo, and more than an hour to fit, plus the following matters will take more than six hours."

Jiang Xue asked in surprise: "It will take six hours to make a bucket?"

Ao Jinfu nodded silently.

Jiang Xue sighed and said, "Now I know why many traditional handicrafts have been cut off from their inheritance. Not to mention the things that make money, just say that the patience and determination that can be spent on making a bucket is not something that ordinary people can do."

The handicraft work in the village was even more boring. Ao Jinfu started to work hard. The three of them were interested in observing, but after a while they started to get together to fight against the Landlord.

In this way, a boy sat silently on a stool polishing wood and bamboo slices, next to him were three adults shouting: "Snatch the landlord!" "I snatch it!" "Double it!" "Blast it!"

It was noon and the three of them were tired of playing cards. The boy was still busy with work in silent faced a few wooden boards and bamboo pieces.

Now the wooden boards and bamboo pieces have been polished, and the boy is rushing the barrel. In this process, he still needs to constantly polish the wooden boards.

He cut and polished the wooden boards up and down, and the two boards looked tight and seamless together. As a result, the boy shook his head, took off the board and started to grind it.

Jiang Xue asked, "Brother, isn't this okay? What do you have to polish them into?"

The boy did not respond, or even responded, and his eyes focused on the wooden board, like a robot.

Jiang Xue stuck out her tongue and smiled, "The little brother is a little cold."

Ao Muyang said: "He is not cold, he hasn't heard you."

He went over and snapped his fingers in front of Ao Jinfu. Ao Jinfu shivered for a moment before coming back to his senses in a daze: "Hey, why are you here?"

"You are in my house." Old Ao sweated coldly.

Ao Jinfu patted his head and suddenly said, "Oh, yes, I forgot."

Ao Muyang asked, "Is this wood piece polished yet?"

Ao Jinfu shook his head and said, "No, the gap is wrong."

"What's the gap?" Jiang Xue asked.

"A ray of sunlight can be seen, and a trace of blue sky can be seen." Ao Jinfu put the two wooden boards together and headed towards the sky, and then a trace of light shone through the two wooden boards.

Xu Nan asked, "Have you taken this? The answer from the literary young brother."

Ao Muyang stretched out and said, "You guys take a photo, I don't have the patience to wait, I have to go out and take a walk."

Xu Nan waved his hand at him: "You have to learn from this little master. The patience and concentration of this little master is really terrible. If he was born in Kyoto, he would definitely achieve something!"

"Even in a fishing village, he can achieve something. As long as he has exposure, he will become a celebrity in the handicraft industry. I bet that he will be a valuable asset in the village in the future." Jiang Xue said confidently.

Ao Muyang agreed with this. Ao Jinfu was interested in craftsmanship and talent. With Ao Zhiman's teaching, it is certain that he was better than his superiority than his superiority.

Regarding the talent you have to cherish, Ao Muyang said to Ao Jinfu before leaving: "In the future, these two sisters will take videos for you, and a village will reward you with 200 yuan."

Ao Jinfu didn't hear him and began to focus on drilling the wooden boards. In order to increase the durability of the bucket, the wooden boards had to be reinforced with mortise and tenon.

The tide fell for more than one day. Yesterday, the tide fell the most severely. Today, it still fell. After the rising tide at night, sea goods reappeared on the beach when the tide was low during the day.

Of course, the number of seafood is much smaller than yesterday.

The big dragon went out to sea while the tide was rising and was about to return today. Ao Muyang strolled to the pier to wait for the fishing boat to return.

He thought nothing was wrong, but at noon, the dock market called and said that the hepatitis A virus was found in the market. The leaders of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the Food Inspection Bureau and the Fisheries Bureau were dispatched and asked the bosses engaged in aquatic products to be in place and cooperate with the inspection!
