Chapter 487: Bark Kettle

Just do it, Li Junge exchanged a polishing paint, smeared the bow body, and put it into the paint room with the putty tire.

Then the bark is fished out of the water, and the bark is already as soft as leather.

Find two pieces of bamboo of the right diameter and put them together into a flat tube, with the bottom aligned.

After cutting a piece of bark, take the bottom of the bamboo piece against the middle of the bark, wrap the bark on the bamboo piece, roughly make two flat cylinders, so that there is a bottom of the pot, and then tie the hemp rope to the pot and steam.

After steaming for an hour, the bark becomes softer, so it is re-refined and wrapped while it is hot, and steamed again.

Wait until this steaming is done, remove the excess part from the lower 14 centimeters, leave the side for gluing, and cut a lot of longitudinal openings with a knife in the upper part.

When the bark strip is dry to a certain extent, the bamboo pieces are removed, and the bottom of the bark becomes a perfect pot.

Reboil the upper bark strips until soft and continue processing.

Insert a bamboo tube in the middle of the flat tube, pull the soft bark on both sides and stick it on the bamboo tube, and tie it with hemp rope.

Then pull the rest of the bark over,

With a ruler and a razor, cut the strip of bark cut at the top into the shape of a trapezoidal strip.

Find a bamboo stick and cut a cross cross, insert a drill bit, wrap it tightly with twine as an awl, pierce the eye on the trapezoidal part of the bark, interweave it with hemp rope and pull it tight, so that the trapezoidal pieces are put together.

Carefully collect it one centimeter at a time, removing little by little any excess bark within this centimeter, and slowly harvest it into a flat cone.

Finally, the excess bark is cut off to obtain a cylindrical mouth with an inner diameter consistent with the size of the bamboo tube.

In the same way, the two kettle embryos take turns, one waits while the other is made, which also takes a day to make the two kettle embryos.

For the next seven days, it's time for daily life.

A few brushes were made with bamboo rat hair, and every day Li Junge polished the utensils in the morning and evening, and then brushed the tabletop and various putty tires with primer, and brushed the bow with polish paint.

After the pot embryo is dried, it is also pasted with putty, sanded, and then scraped with putty on the outside to cover the place where the paste is tied, one is reinforced, and the other is beautiful.

Then painted.

However, the kettle is painted specially, and the polished paint is poured into it every day, swaying for a while, the pot is placed upside down, the paint is poured out, and then the outer body is polished and the primer is brushed.

The other lacquerware is processed at the same time, and the pot is dried before it is sent into the lacquer room.

After doing this, it is to carry water, mud, firewood, kiln, vegetables, collection, lacquer, carpentry.

Ayin collects hemp, washes, weaves, paints, cooks, dries vegetables, dried fruits, and cleans.

The things the two do together are spinning, making paper, grinding powder.

There are more and more things, and the space in the workshop begins to need to be planned and utilized.

Set up a shelf on the ceiling above the stove and place a dustpan with dried bamboo shoots in the dustpan to keep it dry and the flavor of the smoked bamboo shoots is also a must.

Underneath the shelf, there is a hanging dried smoked fish.

The firewood and hemp stalks were placed together and stacked behind and outside the stove to form two small walls.

In the middle, Li Junge finally made a brush, fired a pottery inkstone, and obtained fine ink by the flying water method.

A lot of square timber was also changed, all of which were planed, and these were the materials for future furniture.

The bamboo has dried, and Li Junge has also started the wall design work of the new wooden shed.

Assemble the bamboo tubes one by one like building blocks, and the large bamboo pieces are clamped and can be fixed with bamboo nails after punching.

The walls on both sides are the simplest, although the height of each bamboo tube is different, but there is no need to consider the window, the width of three meters, more than ten bamboo tubes can be completed, so the walls on both sides are the first to be completed, and now the wall behind is being started.

Ayin's loom has also been transformed, the reel has been improved again, and the bamboo tube has been replaced by a thin bamboo rod that can be rotated.

And after this transformation, a row of long wooden frames of the same length can be inserted into more spools.

Li Junge increased the warp thread eightfold, and the width of the fabric that could be woven changed from five centimeters to forty centimeters, which was about the same width as Ayin's shoulders, so that the speed was not reduced, and the efficiency of cloth production was greatly improved.

……

It's the twenty-eighth day of the event.

Now the camp of the Chinese team has become more and more presentable.

In the vegetable field, ten baskets of nutrient soil are buckled into it every morning and evening, and the planting range is getting larger and larger, and there are more and more crops.

For all kinds of crops, including onions and garlic, Li Junge tries to only pick leaves and keep the rhizomes, so now onions and garlic have a small ridge four steps long.

The most abundant is cassava, which is a high-yielding crop here, and is widely distributed on the island, and now there are about 30 plants, each with one or two roots left underneath, and the branches left behind have begun to pull leaves.

The second is purple potatoes, which are actually not much, there are about twenty of them, but the vines are very long, and they cover a ridge of soil.

Li Junge checked the roots, and after more than ten days, the purple potatoes developed very quickly in the soft nutrient soil, and the ones that were the thickness of the thumb at the beginning have now grown to the size of one-third of a fist.

Then there are the taro, but this one is pitiful, three or four large taro with leaves, which are used as food reserves, and the rest of the small taro boys have just sprouted, and the whole ridge looks bare.

In the four corners of the vegetable field, there are a few bloody cabbage plants, and then Li Junge also picked some branches and inserted them beside them, this one really wants to be cultivated, and it is estimated that it is the fastest vegetable like the folded ear root.

There is also a ridge of large coriander, which is also about 30 plants, and every time Li Junge cooks, he picks one or two leaves on each plant, which is harmless, and now it is also growing very vigorously.

Finally, there are some small vegetables, ear roots, purslane, gray cabbage, and shepherd's cabbage, but the gray cabbage and camellia are already old, and they can't be eaten in this event.

Sunflower was also discovered, but there were only three or five plants, and Li Junge was not willing to eat them, so they were all planted in the vegetable field.

The roof has been remodeled, and a 30-centimeter semi-circular mud ridge has been laid on the ridge of the roof, which is covered with three two-layer bamboo tiles, and the bamboo nails penetrate the three bamboo tiles and nail them together with the mud ridge.

The bamboo walls on both sides of the bamboo shed have been erected, and there are a bunch of bamboo tubes spread out in the dam, side by side, which is the back wall that Li Junge is preparing to make, opening two windows, paving the shape of the back wall on the ground, and Li Junge punches holes on it when he is free, preparing for the next splicing.

The new bamboo shed is now a dining room and carpentry area, with bamboo tables, carpentry tables, planing tables, platforms for drawing bamboo sticks, various planed square materials, boards, and a variety of round bamboo sticks and round wooden sticks of different diameters.

The small rectangular area of the new and old bamboo sheds was built by Li Junge with waste bamboo materials, which was a small bathhouse, and two buckets of hot water were boiled and brought over, so that you could take a hot bath.

Then there is the old shed, which has not changed much, that is, an L-shaped shape is piled up around the stove with firewood, hemp pole bundles and other fuels, and a mud-smeared tweezers are added to the side of the stove, and a large clay pot full of firewood ash.

When the fire is burned, consciously take out some charcoal and bury it in the basin, and you can get a lot of charcoal after a meal.

There is also a thin bamboo tube with a hole in the center of the bottom joint, which is a blowtorch.

There are pots and kettles on the fire.

Then next to the stove were many jars and pots, there were oil pots, salt pots, spice jars, spice jars with dried wrinkled orange peels, star anise, syrup, dried fruits, tapioca flour, papaya powder.

There is even something against the sky, which can be used to replace MSG - chicken floss.

A few days ago, Li Junge got two pheasants, and in addition to collecting the chicken feathers, he also got the medicinal herb of chicken inner gold.

Then Li Junge removed all the chicken breasts, and the rest of the part made a small fire chicken soup with Ayin in Lijiagou, and drank it beautifully for a few days.

The chicken soup is not only not bad, but also more and more fragrant.

The breast part was pulled into chicken floss by Li Junge with a bamboo shovel in a clay pot, and a little bit was added every time he cooked, which could improve the freshness.

Then there is a bamboo frame with a bamboo shovel, a fence, and a large clay spoon hanging on it.

There is also a chopstick holder, a pair of chopsticks and a thin rolling pin.

Rear is the paint room.

Dried bamboo shoots and dried fish are smoked on the stove.

On the other side of the shed are wooden shelves, underneath which are various aged clays, followed by lime and other chemical materials.

On one side of the wooden frame are two kimchi jars, which are soaked with taro stalks, sour bamboo shoots, and pickled ginger.

On the other side are several large baskets, inside which are potato flour, tapioca chips, desiccated coconut, and pockmarked seeds.

On the second level of the wooden shelves, there are various pottery, pots and pans, plates, saucers, spoons, and honeycomb pottery plates.

There are also round plates of various diameters, as well as square plates, rectangular plates, trapezoidal plates, triangular plates, and wooden frames of different heights, all of which are coated with putty and polishing paint, which are used by Li Junge as standardizers.

With them, put the clay in the frame and roll it flat, put the board on it, the small iron piece pottery knife everything, what you want, don't make things too fast.

There are also a number of semi-finished pottery embryos.

The third layer is a number of gadgets, with several tool boxes containing chisels, drills, and iron cutting knives.

The other toolbox is full of bamboo, two iron-legged compasses of different sizes, bamboo knives of different sizes, and bamboo scrapers of various arcs.

On the shelf next to it, there are ink fountains, triangle boards, rulers, large bamboo foot compasses, bark sandpaper, and large and small pressure drills.

There are two layers on it, and one layer is where some Chinese medicinal materials and seeds are placed. Twisted twine, hemp rope of various thicknesses.

On the top floor are wooden sticks, spears, steamers, and pot lids for junglers.

On the side of the shelf, there are several wooden nails nailed to it, and there is a coil on it, and several bamboo drying racks are hung on the coil.

When sleeping, the machete is also hung here.

On the bottom of the bamboo shed, there are all kinds of sundries, all of which are about to be piled up into a wall.

In several rough baskets, there are waste bamboo, waste wood, wood shavings, bamboo shavings, and waste hemp wadding.

After peeling, the long bamboo meat strips were pierced in several large bundles.

Logs, lumber, rough planks, also piled up.

Then there are bundles of dried reeds, hay, reed silk of various thicknesses, bamboo bark silk.

Back to the front of the shed, there is a stone platform next to the dam, not far from the ground, this is the platform where Li Junge makes pottery embryos, and the bottom can be baked by fire.

Behind the platform, there was finally an extra futon, which Ayin prepared for him because he always sat dirty on his pants and buttocks.

Next to the table was a sleek, thick wooden stick, which was used to roll out clay boards.

There is also a longitudinally sawn half of the log, planed on a flat surface, and the rear part is made smaller with a machete and turned into a grip, which is a mallet used to squeeze the air from the mud.

Next to the workbench, there is a small water tank and a small mud tank.
