He put on his clothes again, and set off with the three women. After this trip, we expected that we would not be able to come back for dinner at noon, so we brought cooked meat as dry food. The two women in the camp, I also made a special confession, and asked them to pay attention to their own safety.

After walking along the coastline for more than an hour, I kept looking up the hill, hoping to find some bamboo and other leaves in the dense forest.

Originally, we hoped to find a few bamboos, and we thought that these places could grow this kind of bamboo.

As a result, we finally entered a ravine, but we didn't find it, but we found a forest of bamboo.

One by one, the big bamboos that are straight into the sky are amazed and call this trip worthwhile!

I rubbed my palms together as if I had found a treasure: "Good things, good things! There is! With this bamboo, you can have anything!"

Moso bamboo should be the most widely used bamboo material.

As far as I know, the beams, scaffolding, scaffolding, planks, weaving of all kinds of bamboo products, brooms, and the best materials for bamboo rafts can be used for anything.

I whistled beautifully, and thought beautifully in my heart.

I must make a big bamboo row!

For such a large bamboo, five or six are enough, and after drying and then going into the water, it can at least carry a ton of weight, and it can be used to cross the river and go to sea or something in the future.

There is also a big table for cooking, with a few small benches, for us to use when we eat later.

We don't want to sit cross-legged on the floor and eat every meal.

I had long thought of making a table out of wood, but when I thought about slowly cutting wood into boards with a sapper shovel, I don't know how many years and months it would take to cut enough boards for a table, and I lost my motivation.

But now it is much easier to use this kind of big bamboo as a sheet. Directly from the middle of the cross-shaped type, open into four large petals, and then use a knife to cut the edges, that is, four thick and strong large bamboo boards, do not require much processing at all.

In addition, I also make a large bamboo pot for cooking vegetables, a large bamboo bowl for vegetables and soup, a large bamboo basin for washing my hands and face, and even a large bucket for a few mouthfuls of water.

Because I searched, I found that some bamboos with very large roots are estimated to be twenty or thirty centimeters thick, which is so big that it is almost like the small buckets we use at home. It seems that a large bamboo tube can store seven or eight liters of water, and that is all right.

Now that we've found this kind of bamboo, we've been talking about finding clay to burn ceramics, but it's not so urgent.

Oh, look at me. I almost forgot the purpose of our trip, in fact, I just wanted to find a few bamboo poles to catch water.

The three women, seeing that I was so proud that I had dug up the treasure with the bandits, gave me a roll of the eyes.

I was a humble gentleman, and I didn't want to pay attention to them, and whistled and chopped my big bamboo with a shovel.

I first picked four small bamboos the size of my arm and cut them down to use as bamboo poles to catch water. Each one is about ten meters long, and four are enough.

Then I selected five large bamboos about the thickness of my thighs and cut them into six meters long to make the material for the bamboo raft.

This material has just been cut, it is still raw, and it is very heavy, and one piece has about 150 catties.

The three women lifted it, saying that they couldn't carry it.

My cousin said, "That's right." We can't carry it anyway, so let this kid carry it himself, and see if he is doing all the stuff and doing so many things. Let's cheer him on later. ”

I didn't mind, and smiled: "You think you can be lazy, don't you?

I turned around and picked out a few larger bamboos more than 30 centimeters thick, picked the section of the head, cut it into a section more than one meter long, and the weight was only thirty or forty catties, cut down more than ten plants in total, and said to the women: "This is your task! Carry it for me, carry it back, make a pot, make a bowl! Make a bucket! Make a table and stool!"

It took us half a long time to carry the bamboo we had cut out of the ravine and back to the beach.

It's really exhausting.

The women shouted that they were tired, and I also shouted that they were tired.

I am up to the strength of the cow, a bamboo on one shoulder, more than 300 catties a trip, relying on my youth and strength, to spell out. Can I not be so tired that I choke!

As a result, when we got to the beach and then returned home, we really didn't want to carry it on our shoulders anymore.

We plan to take the waterway, throw the bamboo into the water, and use the buoyancy of the bamboo to tow it back.

I untied some of the strips, connected them all together, and connected them into a whole big raft, and then tied another rope in front of me, and the people in front of me pulled along.

This kind of unprocessed bamboo raft is too drafty and has great resistance, and it is impossible for people to stand up and walk, because they can't hold it, and they can only pull it in front like an ox-drawn cart.

When I returned to the river, when I crossed the river, the three women also wanted to save trouble, and they didn't want to take off their clothes and go into the water, so they stood on the bamboo raft one by one and called me to pull under the water alone.

It's really, like a little ancestor, what do you think of me, so call me!

Well, seeing that you all have the potential to become my woman, and you will be pressed under me in the future, I admit it!

When I put all the bamboo in the water and moved it back to the yard, it was already dark.

……

Early the next morning, they set up bamboo poles to bring the water from the spring behind the mountain back to the courtyard, and then dug a canal to divert the used waste water to the river on the right.

Then I make my bamboo furniture, bamboo pots, bamboo bowls, bamboo tables, bamboo stools, everything that can be made of bamboo and is conducive to improving our quality of life.

Of course, there is a premise, that is, I have to know!

Actually, I'm not very good at it, after all, I'm not a craftsman, I don't have that kind of craftsmanship, and those few stools are not like those stools, and they are not very easy to sit on and prick their butts. A few women who tried to sit were pierced again, but they were not angry, so they insisted on pressing me down and asked me to accompany me to pierce again!

Mom, what a bunch of femme fatales......

The big bamboos that were going to be used as rafts were first set up on a shelf and dried.

It is not easy to make a good bamboo raft, you need to peel the bamboo first, then dry it, and in the process of roasting, you also need to tame it and make it into a crescent shape. The bamboo raft made of bamboo with a flat head and tail is too draft to run. You have to tame the bend, so that the two ends are slightly upturned, and you don't get caught in the water when walking, so that you can run fast.

The whole manufacturing process of this kind of bamboo raft takes half a month, and it takes more than two months to make it more beautiful and practical. So I wasn't in a hurry, I peeled the skin, put it there and let it dry slowly, and then find firewood to smoke another day.

There is so much work that needs to be done to build a new home. I was so busy that I didn't even have a day to rest.

But although I was tired, I was also happy and satisfied. This home, but it was built for me and a few of my lovers, and it was built worthily and willingly! This will be the place where my wife and children and I will live forever.
