Chapter 032, Building Furniture
Junjie is here, the eldest brother and sister-in-law have to video call him every day, otherwise how can you rest assured, and in the past few days, the remaining loquat at home has been sold for seventy-seven eighty-eight, and the leaves are no longer accepting orders, and there are only a few dozen trees left, stay and eat some by yourself, and some loquat paste.
"No problem, I've been busy for so long, we'll come over tomorrow to play for a few days. The sister-in-law answered the phone and agreed.
"Go, you two. The third child actually learned to weave bamboo tools, and his grandfather was afraid that he would be unhappy. Since he still has to learn to make bamboo furniture, Yongqiang, you can help him cut down the bamboo. ”
Hearing that Ye Ziqi had learned to weave bamboo tools with his grandfather, Li Yuqin was also very happy, he knew that his father's lifelong efforts were in weaving bamboo tools, and now he has a grandson to learn from him, of course he is very happy.
The next day happened to be the day of the rush, Ye Ziji got up early in the morning to cook breakfast and eat, and then loaded a cart of bamboo utensils onto the tricycle, and took Junjie with him, and went to Baishi Town with the tricycle.
"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone has seen it, today is the day of the rush, and I accompanied my grandfather to sell bamboo tools again. However, there are some bamboo tools in this time that I can knit by hand, everyone has seen them before, and I don't know if anyone will buy them?"
"Anchor, isn't that the fan I ordered? Why did you take it out and set up a stall, keep it for me." "The fans who ordered the first bamboo set before jumped out and shouted at this time.
"Oh, I forgot about it. This fan is the first fan I have made, but it is the most common of all fans, is this friend sure you want this?I was originally going to make you a beautiful one, do you want this one or do you want to re-weave it?" Ye Ziqi picked up an ordinary fan and asked at the camera.
"Oh, then let's make it up for me again, and the pattern should be better, just like the fans in the back. The fan hesitated for a while, but still chose to ask for a new one.
"Lao Tie, let me tell you a good news, starting this afternoon, I will learn from my grandfather to make bamboo furniture, everyone is not surprised.
In China's traditional furniture, bamboo furniture and wooden furniture have always been the mainstream, and it is not until modern times that sofas and fabric furniture, as well as metal, plastic and other products have appeared.
Especially in the vast rural areas, when the productive forces were not developed in the past, when everyone was not rich, almost every household had some furniture made of bamboo.
Just like the bamboo beds, bamboo cabinets, bamboo boxes, and bamboo tables and bamboo stools that are still used in the bamboo building of my grandfather's house before, they are all indispensable daily necessities.
To create bamboo furniture, we need to use the bamboo we knew before, each bamboo is as thick as a rice bowl, and it is long and heavy, so I have to wait until my eldest brother comes to help later. Ye Ziqi also told the audience this fact.
Soon, some people came to pick up their bamboo tools, and some of the bamboo tools woven by hand in the leaf period were very popular, many people bought one or two pieces after seeing them, and even the ordinary bamboo fan was bought, although it was only five yuan, but the leaf period was very happy.
"Wow, anchor, then you can't weave bamboo tools while live broadcasting, and then sell them while broadcasting, so that you can live. Someone jokingly said to Ye Ziji.
"Not to mention, when I get old, I will go back to my hometown to weave bamboo tools, and maybe I will be able to support myself. Ye Ziqi replied with a disappreciative smile.
After nine o'clock, the eldest brother and sister-in-law came over, they were already acquaintances in the live broadcast room, and there was nothing to see Ye Ziqi in the live broadcast, the sister-in-law took Junjie to buy food, and the eldest brother was helping to sell it on the side.
When it was close to noon, a total of more than 120 yuan was sold, and all the leaves were given to my grandfather, and then the two brothers received the remaining bamboo tools on the tricycle and sat on them again.
Of course, when the stall was closed, Ye Ziqi had already closed the live broadcast, otherwise there would have been an audience shouting "Anchor, you are operating illegally, and you are seriously overloaded".
After arriving home, the sister-in-law was busy cooking, and the eldest brother also went to help, and after the parents came, Junjie did not pester his father and Tiantian, played with him, and handed firewood in front of the stove.
In the afternoon, my grandfather took the two brothers to the back of the Lion Rock, and the leaf period opened the live broadcast as promised, and many people were very interested in creating bamboo furniture, and they were waiting for the first time online.
"If you want to make furniture, you need to choose older bamboo, so that the bamboo is more compact, and it can be used for a longer time after being made into furniture. While introducing the requirements for material selection, my grandfather observed the surrounding Nanzhu.
The Ye Ziqi brothers are all learning along, but he used the advanced study card, and when his grandfather observed and chose Nanzhu, he also carefully observed and studied, looking for a suitable Nanzhu.
"You can do it with Nanzhu like this. Soon, my grandfather found a bamboo tree, pointed to it and said to the Ye Ziji brothers, "The color of the surface has begun to turn yellow, which means that it has grown old, and there is not much moisture in it, and it will not be deformed after being made into furniture." ”
"Boom ......"
The leaf period immediately began to cut this bamboo, but the bamboo is not only thicker, but also very hard, cutting ordinary bamboo only seven or eight knives can be broken one, but cutting the bamboo takes more than ten knives to cut one.
"Anchor, come on, I'm optimistic about you. Although some viewers left messages and joked in the live broadcast room, Ye Ziqi didn't have time to pay attention to them, let them watch, they had to work.
A minute later, the leaf stage felt that his hands were about to weaken, and finally cut down a nanzhu, and then the nanzhu fell down the hillside, and the leaf stage shaved off the branches, and the eldest brother helped drag it to the yard.
And a Nanzhu is at least more than ten meters long and weighs tens of hundreds of catties, not an adult man can't drag it at all, so my grandfather has not moved the idea of building furniture in the past one or two decades, that is, he can't move Nanzhu.
Subsequently, with the help of his grandfather, Ye Ziqi selected and cut down more than a dozen Nanzhu bamboos, and dragged them back to the yard with his eldest brother.
"Third child, what kind of furniture are you going to make? The sister-in-law took Junjie to play in the yard, and asked when she saw them dragging back so many Nanzhu.
"I'm going to make a bamboo table, a few bamboo stools, and if there are enough bamboos, I'm going to make a bamboo cabinet. Ye Ziqi said with a smile.
"Well, you can move back to use it when it's done, I don't need it now, and I can't put it at home. Grandpa said to them.
"Yes, when the time comes, move back to Junjie to do his homework. Ye Ziqi smiled and teased Junjie and said, the little guy was ignorant, and nodded again and again, he felt that what his father said to him was right.
