Sun Pengcheng was also very helpless when he met Xiao Peng, and such a high-level exchange symposium became 'pulling calves with the old man' in his mouth. But he can't help it, it's better to let Xiao Peng's temperament come.

Isn't it fishing gear? This is not difficult for Xiao Peng. How did our ancestors fish when they didn't have plastic?

But the process of finding bamboo in Cuba left Xiao Peng dumbfounded, and he finally understood why people in Cuba use plastic fishing rods or hand threads.

It's not that the country is devoid of bamboo, but there are very few of them. They cut almost all the bamboo and used it to grow other plants, such as bananas, tobacco leaves, cassava and other plants that they needed more.

Here, bamboo is only used to make furniture and handicrafts, and there is no culture of bamboo at all, and they don't even know that bamboo shoots can be eaten------ eat trees?

The climate here is really suitable for bamboo to grow, but in the eyes of Cubans, this bamboo is very chicken, and it is useless to grow a large patch. In this exchange meeting, bamboo plant experts from China and people from the Cuban Agricultural and Forestry Technical Association introduced the experience of promoting the use of bamboo.

This bamboo is actually a really good thing, and it is one of the fastest growing countries in the world. It can be widely used in construction, fiber paper and pulp industry, medical and pharmaceutical industries, the production of new equipment, food and security products, and as a renewable energy source, but Xiao Peng doesn't care about that now, he just wants to find the right bamboo to make a fishing rod.

Since ancient times, China has loved bamboo, and it is 'better to eat no meat than to live without bamboo'. From south to north, there are all kinds of bamboo.

The most famous chicken soup text in China is also written about bamboo, which roughly means: "In the easternmost part of China, there is a kind of 'moso bamboo', where the peasants sow seeds everywhere, carefully cultivate them every day, and wait until the bamboo sprouts, even if the farmers have been carefully taking care of it for several years, the moso bamboo is only three centimeters long in four years, and other people see this scene, shake their heads and say that they can't understand, and will think: What is it to spend so long planting it? Waste time and energy!"

But after five years, the bamboo is growing at a rate of 30 centimeters a day, so that it can grow to 15 meters in just six weeks, and it can be transformed into a lush bamboo forest in an instant. In the first four years of growth, the bamboo grew hundreds of meters of roots under the ground, just for the fifth year of explosion. ’

All day long, there are so-called success mentors who use this story to motivate people to do things, telling them to persevere even if they work hard and can't see results, because this is rooting, and when the time is right, they will reach the top that others can't reach. Especially when employees are dissatisfied with their salary and have no hope of changing jobs, they often hear similar jokes.

For this chicken soup article, Xiao Peng has one word: Phew!

Whoever talks about it is stupid X, and whoever believes it is stupid X! The person who wrote this chicken soup article must have never seen bamboo shoots, right? There are really bamboo shoots that are four years long and three centimeters long, and Xiao Peng eats them raw directly!

There are many other methods of planting bamboo, such as moving bamboo to afforestation, moving whip afforestation, cutting off stalks and moving pockets, afforestation of seedlings, and afforestation of whip seedlings。。。。。。 Dude, how do you grow hundreds of meters of roots without photosynthesis? They grew up eating meat?

Although this is a bowl of 'rotten chicken soup', it also shows the Chinese people's love for bamboo------ you see, even writing a chicken soup essay has to write bamboo.

But it is not easy to find the right bamboo for a fishing rod.

There are also many types of bamboo. In China alone, there are hundreds of kinds of bamboo, Guanyin bamboo, phoenix tail bamboo, Hua Xiaoshun bamboo, green skin bamboo, fishing silk single bamboo, pink single bamboo, Buddha belly bamboo, golden bamboo, tea pole bamboo, cinnamon bamboo, spotted bamboo, steel bamboo, moso bamboo, tortoiseshell bamboo, purple bamboo, bitter bamboo, etc.

The best bamboo to make a fishing rod is tea pole bamboo, which is an extremely slender bamboo because it is resistant to insects and corrosion. It mainly lives in the two regions of China, but because it is cold and drought tolerant, it can be seen almost everywhere.

This kind of bamboo has been the favorite of literati and ink writers since ancient times, in ancient times, what flower stands, pen sticks, fishing rods, bamboo carvings and the like are made of this tea stick bamboo for the top quality! And this thing grows fast enough, so many Chinese people will go to a treasure to buy a few trees to plant in their own yards, and grow a large piece in three years.

However, although this tea stem bamboo belongs to the 'North American arrow bamboo family', it belongs to the genus Bamboo, which has more than 30 species of bamboo, all of which are distributed in East Asia.

The hard work paid off, and finally Xiao Peng really found the tea pole bamboo here, just in the suburbs of Havana! It is in a cemetery, the name of this cemetery is very domineering------- the door is written with five Chinese characters of 'China Zongyi Mountain', you can know at a glance that this is a Chinese cemetery.

Cuba also has ethnic Chinese, and it is divided into the 'new generation' and the 'old generation'.

In fact, the largest Chinese area in the whole Latin American region is in Havana, when tens of thousands of Chinese participated in the Cuban Liberation and Independence War, overthrowing the Spanish colonial rule in Cuba, to this day there is a black marble monument in Havana, written 'Overseas Chinese in Cuba assisted in Cuba's independence monument'.

However, since the nationalization of the old card, because most of the Chinese operate small businesses and other things, private property has been confiscated, private economy is not allowed, and foreign exchange control has also made it impossible for Chinese to send money to their hometowns, so a large number of Chinese have left Cuba, and today, there are few people who can speak Chinese, this is the 'old generation'.

Later, in the 90s, some Chinese came to live in a place called Medragnescu in Old Havana, and there is a tall archway with the words 'Chinatown' written on it. These Chinese all responded to the leader's call in 1995 to come here from the magic capital to do catering tourism. This is the 'new generation'.

At present, there are more than 130 overseas Chinese in the whole of Cuba。。。。。。

And the 'China Zongyi Mountain' cemetery is an overseas Chinese cemetery with a history of 100 years in Cuba.

However, this cemetery has also been nationalized by Cuba, and there is no one to take care of it at all, plus the old overseas Chinese have left, and the ancestral cemetery is no longer taken care of, so now this cemetery is full of devastation and dilapidation. In addition, Cuba has a tropical climate, with many thunderstorms in summer, and the tombstones here are windy, sun, and rainforest, and many tombstones have collapsed, which is sad to look at.

However, Xiao Peng saw a large piece of tea stem bamboo here. Because there is no one to take care of it here, this tea stem bamboo grows unusually luxuriant.

Cutting bamboo from the cemetery is not like that, Xiao Peng thought about it, spent money to hire a group of people to clean the cemetery, and went to buy a bunch of fruits to pay tribute to all the tombstones inside, which wasted a lot of Xiao Peng's time. By the time Xiao Peng arrived at Dana's repair shop with the bamboo, it was almost afternoon----- he was going to use Dana's tools to make fishing rods.

Today, I saw Dana's father, the old mechanic Yumika Armas, who was directing people to repair cars. Xiao Peng looked over curiously, well, very good, a Chery engine just ran into the engine compartment of the Pontic classic car.

Yumika was also very happy, he thought that Xiao Peng didn't understand Spanish, and gave Xiao Peng a thumbs up: "Huaxia engine!

Isn't that good? It's much better than your original diesel engines! These zombie cars have new engines and can live for at least another fifty years.

Garcia came over with a plastic bag: "Mr. Xiao, take a look, is this what you need?"

Xiao Peng opened the bag, and inside was a shoe repair thread, something like tung oil sandpaper, and a long screw with a nut more than ten centimeters long: "Yes, that's them!

They were also curious about what Xiao Peng was going to do.

I saw that Xiao Peng first chose three bamboos with suitable thickness and better roundness, put them on the fire and roasted them, and then poured cold water on them and roasted them again.

"Mr. Xiao, what are you doing here?" Garcia asked, puzzled.

Xiao Peng said while roasting bamboo: "Straighten, this bamboo is not straight. To use it easily, you have to bake these bamboo knots, in fact, this is a repeated process, generally to straighten the front end of the bamboo to hang a heavy object for a month to ensure that it is really straight, and after natural drying of the bamboo is more resistant, but I don't have so much time, so I can only use high temperature fire to roast. Anyway, just use it once, and the meaning will be yours. ”

After the three sections of bamboo are straightened, Xiao Peng wraps the fishing rod interface with a cylinder wrapped in sandpaper and starts to polish from the inside of the bamboo rod, which is called 'grinding jade mouth', which is a delicate work: in order to ensure that when the fish is loaded, the connection of these fishing rods can withstand sufficient strength, so this 'jade mouth' should be ground into a V-shape, the connection mouth is thinner, and the inside is thicker.

And a section of the bamboo pole inserted into the jade mouth has to be 'wrapped around the jade mouth', that is, the silk thread is wound at the interface to increase the friction.

People are surprised by the fishing rods of freshwater fish, they all use silk thread to 'wrap the jade mouth', but the silk thread in Cuba is really hard to find, so Xiao Peng asked Garcia to help him find a thinner shoe repair thread, and use this thing to 'wrap the jade mouth', the friction is a bargain!

Next, after grinding eight wrench-shaped pieces of wide bamboo, Xiao Peng grinded off some of the lines on the long screws, which were shaped like wrenches and long screws, as well as several wide bamboo tubes, directly forming the reel on the fishing rod. Then grind the bamboo into a wire loop and stick it to the fishing rod, fix the long screw of the fishing reel at the widest part of the fishing rod, and Xiao Peng brush the fishing rod with tung oil. After observing for a while, he let out a long sigh: "Alas, I'm very dissatisfied, let's make do with it first。。。。。。 ”

Directly behind him, there was the sound of people falling.

Sun Pengcheng's voice came slowly: "Brother Peng, we are still good friends without pretending to be X。。。。。。 ”
