16, Luban stool is ready!
"Brother Jie, I'll go first, I'll have time to play with you when I get back!"
After dinner, Song Xiaodong burped, got up and said.
"Slow down on the road!"
Xia Jie admonished.
"yes, got it!"
Jumping on the motorcycle and waving his hand, Song Xiaodong hummed a little song and headed all the way west.
Back in the house, serving a bowl of rice and pouring the rest of the soup, Xia Jie took it to the yard and beckoned to the puppy.
"Come and eat!"
The little milk dog immediately pounced.
Eating fragrant bibimbap, the little milk dog felt that the person in front of him was even closer!
Touching the round dog's head, Xia Jie said, "Little thing, let's call you Qiuqiu in the future, how about it?"
"Woo!"
The little milk dog raised his head, stretched out his pink tongue, and licked Xia Jie's hand affectionately, seemingly satisfied with the name.
"Qiuqiu, this will be your home in the future, be obedient, you can't run around, there are wild beasts in the mountains, and they will drag you to be a snack. ”
Xia Jie pointed to the mountain in the distance and admonished.
"Woo!"
The puppy shook his head vigorously in response.
"Hehe, it's good to know!"
A small bowl of rice was quickly eaten by the puppy, and it whined at Xia Jie again.
"I want to drink water."
Xia Jie smiled and made a basin for it.
This earth dog is best fed, given something to eat and drink, and it can thrive.
Looking at the starry sky, Xia Jie nodded, tomorrow will be good weather again.
......
The next day, after breakfast, Xia Jie came to the old man with Qiuqiu.
As soon as the car was parked, Da Hei pounced, scared the little milk dog and didn't dare to go down.
"Go ahead, play with Big Black, it won't bite you!"
patted the ball on the head, Xia Jie said.
"Woo!"
The little milk dog cowered and went down, very obediently to Da Hei's side, rubbing, rubbing!
"Little one, you're quite good at pleasing you!"
Xia Jie smiled and followed into the house.
"Grandpa, are you busy pulling up?"
In the courtyard, the old man was holding a ruler and drawing a line on a piece of wood.
"Well, I found an old mahogany, it's almost enough. ”
The old man nodded in response.
"Grandpa, do you want me to help?"
Xia Jie rubbed his hands and said.
In the past, when my grandfather was making furniture, he would also help deliver tools and move wood.
"No, no, little thing, I'll just be alone, didn't you say you wanted to record a video, record it!"
Xia Changjiang waved his hand and said.
"Hmm!"
Xia Jie summoned the drone, turned on the recording function, and then said to the camera.
"When I came to my grandfather's place today, he wanted to make me a Luban stool, so I recorded a video to show everyone our traditional carpentry work. ”
"Grandpa has already selected the wood and is scraping it with a planer. ”
The drone circled and flew to the old man's side and gave him a close-up of the shot.
"Grandpa, what's the point of making this Luban stool?
Xia Jie asked.
"This Luban stool is handed down by the carpenter's grandfather Luban, and it does not need nails and glue, and can be turned into all kinds of small stools only through sawing, planing, chiseling, grinding, sealing wax and other more than a dozen processes. ”
"Because it is purely constructed by its own mortise and tenon structure, it can be changed by breaking it by hand, so we call it 'blind breaking',"
The old man said as he skillfully drew lines on the wood.
"Do this pay attention to a fine, not a little sloppy, even if the difference is only one millimeter, it will also affect the connection of the mortise and tenon joint, so pay attention to a slow work out of fine work. ”
After drawing the line, Xia Changjiang picked up the chisel and began to gouge the hole.
Although he is over 60 years old, the old man is still very steady when he does carpentry work.
Whether it is scraping, line drawing, chiseling, or the back-seamping, grinding, polishing, scraping, step by step is a board and an eye, and there is no ambiguity at all.
Until the last step of wax sealing and polishing, a Luban stool is completed.
is such a small thing, it took Xia Changjiang three days before and after.
"Then, when you don't usually use it, put it away like this, it's just a plank. ”
"If you want to use it, grab both sides and pull it down, and you can turn it into a small stool, which is very strong and durable. ”
The old man said as he demonstrated the fruits of his labor in front of the camera.
Although he has witnessed the whole production process, Xia Jie next to him still feels amazing.
He thinks that if he clips this video and sends it up, it should attract a lot of people's attention.
What is said on the Internet about how the craftsmen of the island country are, it is because they have not seen our ancient Chinese skills, which will definitely make people amazed.
"Grandpa, you're amazing! I'll go back and make a short video and send it to you on the Internet. ”
Xia Jie said with a thumbs up.
"Hehe, it's nothing, it's just craftsman's work, if someone looks at it when I look back, I'll do something else." ”
The old man said with a smile.
As long as his grandson is happy, he will do whatever he wants.
With the automatic editing function of the live broadcast system, seven or eight hours of video were directly edited into short films of more than two minutes.
Xia Jie took a serious look, the effect is quite good, you can send it!
Because this was recorded for his grandfather, he re-registered an account and posted it on the video platform.
knew that it would take a certain amount of time for the video to ferment, so Xia Jie was not in a hurry to pay attention to the effect, and continued to work on the cleaning up of the farmhouse.
......
Ma Dakang is an operations manager at Pumpkin Video.
Recently, there have been no outstanding good works on the platform, which makes him feel a little irritable.
After all, only good works can attract more people to watch, bring more traffic to the website, attract more advertisers, and bring more profits.
"Manager, come and see this video, it's very interesting, the number of views is also rising, and it has exceeded 100,000!"
At this moment, his subordinate Xiao Zhao beckoned to him.
"Oh, really?"
He walked over.
"What is it?"
"It's carpentry, the old man is very good, and the video is very good, very exciting!"
Ma Dakang walked to Xiao Zhao's computer and looked over.
On the screen, an old man dressed plainly and with gray temples is in the small courtyard of a farmhouse, flexibly using saws, chisels and other tools to turn an ordinary piece of wood into an interlocking, concave and convex shape.
Under his hands, this wooden block can be turned into a beautiful little stool without nails or glue, and it can be put away.
Tsk, this technique is awesome, an absolute carpentry master!
"Manager, look, the number of broadcasts is still increasing, and the number of people who reply is also very large, it seems that everyone is very interested!"
"Quick, hurry up and give him a promotion slot and see how it works!"
"By the way, by the way, contact the other party to see if they are interested in becoming our resident columnist. ”
With years of experience in the industry, Ma Dakang feels that this video may have the opportunity to become a phenomenal work.
After all, woodworking videos with technical content are really rare.
Just like the comments made by the audience: The old man is simply the reincarnation of Luban!
This is a proper inheritance of Chinese culture, an old craftsman who is serious!
