715. Work (4)

After you've had your fill, you'll have to get to work.

Ao Muyang looked up at the big tree in front of him, the pine tree was twenty meters high, and the width was hugged by one person, I am afraid that it would have to be hundreds of years old.

He is not an uninformed person, after all, he often goes up the mountain all year round, and has seen a lot of big trees, but it is rare to grow such a thick pine tree, no wonder the old man said that collecting pine oil here will not hurt the tree body, and such a thick pine tree loses some pine oil, but it is not a big problem.

Ao Zhiman walked over and handed him a knife, and said, "Village chief, give you an oil cutting knife, I'll teach you how to pick pine oil later, and the two of us will work fast." ”

Ao Muyang said: "The two of us, what about Fuwa?"

The old man smiled slyly and said, "Aren't you here?" Let Fuwa rest, and the two of us can do it." ”

Ao Muyang smiled bitterly, it was all a routine, he was still saying just now that raising children must be pampered, but people immediately became pampered.

He is still quite familiar with the oil cutting knife, when he was a child, he watched martial arts dramas, and there was a famous weapon called the deer cutting knife, and then some friends took out the oil cutting knife at home, saying that this is the ancestral deer cutting knife.

Then, when the little friend was practicing hard with a deer cutting knife, he was seen by his father and mother and suffered a beating!

The shape of the oil cutter is very interesting, similar to the S-shape, with a semicircular edge at the upper and lower ends, and by analogy, this knife edge is very similar to the round chisel used in woodworking, and the ends are sharp.

This thing is a murder weapon, it is used to cut the bark, the pine bark is very hard, to be able to cut it you need to be extremely sharp, once there was a tragedy in Qiantan Town, there was a hooligan persecution of an honest man, the honest man was helpless, and stabbed him with the oil cutter at home.

The reason why it is said to be a tragedy is because the hooligans struggled, the honest man subconsciously scratched and pulled, and the sharp oil cutter slashed through the hooligan's body, disemboweling and disemboweling......

Ao Zhiman also held an oil cutting knife in his hand, and he taught: "You see, you have to cut pine oil to give an opening to the bark, which is such a mouth, a girl-shaped opening. ”

Ao Jinfu added: "Grandpa, this is called Y-shaped, English letters, foreign. ”

Ao Zhiman said impatiently: "We are doing the traditional work handed down from our ancestors, what do we want?

Ao Muyang wondered, what is the old man talking about? There is such a show? Why hasn't he watched it? This is a miss!

As a result, Ao Jinfu revealed the answer to him: "Grandpa, that's a model catwalk......"

Ao Zhiman ignored him and continued to teach Ao Muyang a lesson: "You open such an opening, the upper left and right sides are the places where the pine oil is cut, and the lower opening is the place where the pine oil flows, it is a channel, you hang a small bucket or plastic bag under the opening, and the pine oil will flow in." ”

"Also, remember that the oil cutter should be pushed forward and not pulled back, the cut pushed forward is smooth and neat, and the pine oil flows smoothly, if you pull back, the cut that is pulled out is rough and uneven, not good. ”

He gave Ao Muyang a demonstration with a wooden plank, rather than cutting directly on a pine tree.

He continued to explain: "You have no experience in doing it just now, anyway, you find a place that has not been cut, the thinner the bark you cut, the better, as long as there is pine oil flowing out, don't have to cut a big hole." ”

Ao Muyang did a few drills with wooden blocks, and then the cut out was like a decent one.

The main thing is that he can reverse Jin Dan, which is extremely explosive, with a sharp blade and strong explosive power, although the bark of the old pine tree is rough and tough, it is still a knife and a cut.

The lower half of the tree is already full of Y-shaped scars, and the old man said that such a place cannot be used, and that you have to find bark that has no wounds within the upper and lower half meters to cut, and only in such a place can there be pine oil.

Ao Muyang looked up, he estimated that he had to climb ten meters high.

Climbing so high can be regarded as high-altitude work, and he remembered that he had not purchased personal accident insurance, so he felt that such an operation was a bit dangerous.

He did not climb up, but the Führer climbed up, and with four small paws grasping the bark, he climbed up the tree with great skill.

Ao Muyang was pleasantly surprised, this baby is really sensible, is he going up to help him pick pine oil?

Soon he found himself thinking too much, and the Führer found a squirrel on a branch of a tree, and he wanted to catch it.

The squirrel was startled and got into the hole in the tree, and the Führer also drilled into it, but it ate fat belly during the New Year, and the upper half got into it, and the lower half was stuck outside, and its tail flicked and flicked, as if the tree had become a sperm.

There is no particular danger in working on the tree, but it is more risky when climbing up the tree, because cutting pine oil at a high place on the tree is a ladder, and this 'ladder' is not a real ladder, but a safety rope.

The old man Ao Zhiman did not look old, but he was very good, his thin body was like a monkey, and he successfully climbed the tree, and then he found a branch to try the weight-bearing capacity, and felt that there was no problem, so he put the rope wrapped around his waist on the branch.

In this way, he leaned on the branch to hang his body, and he moved up and down the trunk, and his legs should be tightly coiled on the tree, and the safety rope was to provide protection, and it was better to stay on the tree with the strength of his legs.

Ao Muyang had no choice but to climb up the tree, the pine trees here are tall and lush, he climbed up and did the same, and also put himself on a safety rope.

The next step was to cut the Y-shaped opening, and after he cut it, pine oil immediately flowed out.

The pine oil that comes out is very viscous and whitish in color, but it will appear yellow when it is concentrated in a bag or a small bucket.

Ao Muyang tied the bag, then loosened the rope and slid down, changed to a new position so that he could continue to tie it up, and then repeat the previous work.

Three beds need at least 50 litres of pine oil, mainly for large beds.

These trees are relatively strong, and a single tree can produce more than a liter of pine oil, but it will take at least a week for it to flow in a short period of time.

In other words, they had to come again in a week.

But at that time, life was simple, just concentrate the pine oil in the plastic bag in a small bucket, Ao Muyang didn't use it, the old man could do it himself.

After searching for more than fifty tree trunks, the afternoon was over.

Ao Zhiman wiped the sawdust on his face and said: "Sleep here for a night, and tomorrow go up to the trees one by one, some of the mouths can't drip pine oil, so we have to make up a few." ”

Ao Muyang said helplessly: "Master Man, do you have to climb the tree tomorrow?"

The old man nodded: "Yes, you should do this job well? I told you that it used to be a poor person to make a living, if you cut a hole and wait to collect pine oil, isn't it simple?"

He continued: "I'll tell you, it's okay now, there is a weather forecast that can warn the weather in the next few days, there was no weather forecast before, maybe one day when the storm comes, it will be in vain, the oil drum is blown in, the rain flows in, this kind of thing often happens!"
