Chapter 408: Craftsmanship
"Be careful on the road, don't play everywhere, give me the dates quickly, take the dates home, and give them to your own mother, do you hear?"
Xu filled each child with a bag of dates, almost two or three gourd scoops. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info everyone doesn't talk much, but these children are here, and almost a hundred catties of jujubes are divided.
After an afternoon, there were almost no jujube sons on the entire layer under the jujube tree, and even if there were, there were some stragglers left. If the upper layer of jujubes can still be so dense, then it is estimated that the final jujube yield will be far higher than everyone estimates to be a few hundred catties.
"Got it!"
These bear children, Wen Xu knew that there were probably not many people who listened to them, and originally wanted to emphasize it again, but when he saw the appearance of these bear children, he thought about it in his heart.
Wen Xu waved his hand at the little heads in the courtyard, and these little things immediately scattered in all directions.
Turning his head, Wen Xu saw Gu Fen, Qian Pan and Xu Yinan, plus the girl Shengnan, and several of them were still clubbed in their yards, and couldn't help but say, "What are you waiting for?" The dates are also divided, is it possible that I still leave you for dinner? ”
"It's nothing, boss, let's go" When Gu Fen heard this, he immediately beckoned to the three people behind him, carrying a bag of dates in his hand, and then smiled at Hang Chen: "Big sister, let's go!" ”
"Clothes, clothes?" Hang Chen saw a few brainless people turning around to leave, and immediately reminded him that the clothes that a few people had distributed this morning were still in his room.
Hearing the word clothes, several children immediately thought about it, and followed Hang Chen to the house to get the clothes.
"This kid!" Hang Xiangdong looked at his daughter, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then seemed to have found some reason, and opened his mouth to say: "It wasn't like this when I was at home before, why did it become like this one, it's too skinny!" ”
"Uncle, what you are talking about is that Wenjiacun took my cousin crookedly? I told you that we don't carry this pot in Wenjia Village, this is the result of your indulgence! Wen Xu joked with his uncle with a smile.
"This is a big place, she is crazy, she used to be locked in such a small pigeon cage just to go crazy, and who will compensate her for being crazy!" Hang Xiangdong smiled and said, and after finishing speaking, he began to sigh again: "It is said that this generation of children is happier than us, sometimes I think, these children are materially happier than us at that time, really to say that the spirit is not necessarily better than our time, we were jumping up and down with our friends all day long, what about these children, just such a big place at home, it's a big playground in the community, it's so big" Hang Xiangdong said while stretching out his hand and gesturing.
At this time, Li Yumei walked out, and when she heard Hang Xiangdong say this, she couldn't help but say to him again: "What are you doing with this!" ”
"Don't mention it, don't mention it! Then let me ask what we have for dinner, shall we? Hang Xiangdong looked at Li Yumei and said with a smile.
"Roast pork with beans, tomatoes and eggs,...... All home cooked"
said a few dishes in a row, all of which are Li Yumei's home cooking. For her aunt's craft, Wen Xu is now slowly getting used to it, and the salt head and the like are slowly becoming familiar, perhaps like the women of her aunt's generation, for them, the kitchen is her reservation, and they are used to paying like this all the time, so when they arrived at Wen Xu's home, they naturally asked to be in charge of the kitchen, and Wen Xu was polite a few times and followed her heart.
"Do you want my help?" Wen Xu rolled up his sleeves and said to his aunt.
Li Yumei hurriedly shook her head and said: "No need for you, you two nephews and uncles are waiting for dinner, I am ready here, you have beaten dates for a few hours, do you want to take a bath first, and I will ask you to eat later!" ”。
Hang Xiangdong listened to it and sniffed his body, and immediately nodded and said, "I'm going to wash it, and my body is about to smell of sweat."
"I'm not going to wash yet, I'm going to work in my workshop twice!" Wen Xu smiled and stretched out his hand to point in the direction of the workshop, then stepped forward to continue to make Zhao Defang's child's small wooden bed.
Hearing that Wen Xu was going to the workshop, Hang Xiangdong immediately said, "Then I'll go with you, it's okay to make a move!" ”
So the family did their own thing, Li Yumei went into the house to cook, and Wen Xu and Hang Xiangdong's nephew went into the backyard studio and began to tinker with the wooden bed.
Originally, Wen Xu asked his uncle to come over, as if he was handing something or something, but who knew that the old man would turn against the guest after a while when he came in.
"You're a little too stupid, just such a square log, using a planer? It's just a planer, you can't even plane straight! Also, let me tell you that although the machine is fast, it lacks the sensibility of hand-made! Hang Xiangdong reached out and took the main square wood of the bed leg from Wen Xu's hand, and turned the wood with both hands while holding the eyesight.
"The wood is not straight! It's a bit crooked, if this thing is made into a bed, it will inevitably be a little shaky, and for a long time, if it is often lying on it, I think this bed is at most five or six years of life! Hang Xiangdong said.
"Uncle, my wood is very good! Do you really understand or fake to understand, are you fooling me? Wen Xu looked at his uncle, a little unconvinced, he taught at a university and taught a professor of basic disciplines would still understand carpentry?
Hang Xiangdong glanced at Wen Xu: "It's because the material is good, I only said five or six years, or two years at most!" What do you know I learned from your grandfather as a child? If your grandfather had been here, I wouldn't have been able to go to college, and maybe he would have taken me to the city to make things on the construction site as soon as he graduated from junior high school."
"My grandfather is a carpenter?" Wen Xu couldn't help but ask in surprise. Hang Xiangdong's father is not Wen Xu's grandfather, Wen Xu only knows that the two are cousins, as for what the two do, then Wen Xu doesn't know.
"How fresh, not only your grandfather is a carpenter, but your grandfather is also a carpenter, not to mention the craftsmanship, it is much better than those carpentry jobs on the street," Hang Xiangdong said proudly.
Although he heard what his uncle said, Wen Xu didn't believe it in his heart.
If the carpentry work of the grandfather and the two brothers is so good, how can the old people in the town not mention it, these old men are clean and like to compare themselves together, it is impossible not to mention the names of the two, no one mentions it now, Wen Xu has no memory since he was a child, it can only mean one thing, the craftsmanship of the two old men is average.
And Hang Xiangdong, as a junior, naturally wants to raise his own family and step on other families when he mentions his elders, which is also a normal phenomenon. How can anyone boast of other people's ancestors and trample on their own ancestors? This is called Shame for His Holiness!
"This is the first time I've heard of this," Wen Xu said, nodding.
"You were only a little older at that time, and you didn't even have a chance to wear open crotch pants, I remember that Uncle liked to pinch your finch at that time, and every time he pulled you, he would be silly at him!"
"Ugh!" Wen Xu suddenly felt that it was embarrassing to mention this matter at this time!
Fortunately, Hang Xiangdong also mentioned it in passing, and then raised his hand to Wen Xu and said: "Is there a wooden planer, it is the kind of old planer, the kind that wants to grow heads."
"Yes!" Although Wen Xu said that he would not use it, he still had the things that should be there, this is the benefit of having money, don't use it, buy it back and put it at home first. With a boss who doesn't know a few big words, buy a set of Siku Quanshu and put it on his desk, and the feeling of being a literate person is the same!
With a trot, he handed his uncle the long-headed planer from the toolbox.
Hang Xiangdong took the planer and played with it a few times, and then pulled out the planer knife sandwiched in the planer, and wiped it on the blade with his fingers.
"Not bad!" After Hang Xiangdong replied, he stacked the wooden strip of the knife and the knife together, stuffed it into the knife groove, and when he stuffed it, he also turned over the bottom of the planer, closed one eye, and while aiming at the size of the blade of the planer blade, he carefully beat it with a piece of hardwood, and carefully controlled the length of the blade to expose the bottom surface of the planer.
"Any idea what this does?" Hang Xiangdong asked Wen Xu while preparing the planer.
This is a bit of a teaching and solving doubts.
Even if he has never used a planer, Wen Xu understands that this is adjusting the thickness of the shavings of the planer, so he said: "If you are using the planer knife to cut the depth of the bottom, if it is too shallow, you will also plane something of the same thickness, and if it is too deep, it will be extremely difficult to plan!" ”
"Yes, the book was not read in vain!" After Hang Shangdong smiled and said a word to Wen Xu, he rubbed his sleeves, and finally felt that the clothes on this side were uncomfortable, so he simply took them off and threw them on the pile of wood next to him.
"Look!" Hang Xiangdong spat twice in the palm of his hand, put the wood on the planer, and then held the two handles of the planer with both hands and pushed it up hard.
Bang!
Hang Xiangdong, who was originally going to show off, directly knocked down the planer shelf, and his body rushed out to the front, but fortunately, Wen Xu's hands and feet were fast enough, and he was directly scooped up and hugged by the waist, otherwise Hang Xiangdong would have to fall and eat.
"Uncle, are you alright?"
Wen Xu forced a smile and helped his uncle to his feet.
"Oops, I haven't done it for decades, and the craft is a little rusty! But don't worry, I'll just give it two more trys! Hang Xiangdong is now as red as a red cloth, and he feels too embarrassed.
But the old man also wants face, and now that he is so ugly, he must have to get the field back.
Wen Xu looked at his uncle's face and knew that it was difficult to persuade him, and if he persuaded him again, it would really hurt the old man's self-esteem, so he said, "Then be careful?" ”
As he spoke, he helped his uncle lift up the planer and put the material back on the planer.
Hang Xiangdong put away his thoughts, and after correcting his attitude, the planer finally pulled out the first roll of shavings, although the process of this planing was a little not so good-looking, but it was still much better than the first time.
"Good, good, good!" Wen Xu looked at it, don't let the old man continue to plank like this, if he continues to plane like this, he may be able to fold his uncle's waist! So while cheering, I thought about going over and holding the planer in my hand, preparing the wood myself, and letting the old man 'guide' by the side.
Who knew that Hang Xiangdong directly felt the feeling and pushed Wen Xu away: "Go aside, I just got a little feeling back here!" ”
The old uncle didn't pay attention to Wen Xu at all, and continued to plane by himself, about ten times later, the skills in his hands were like being called to be saved, only to hear the sound of a gentle brush, which was the sound of the blade shoveling off a layer of shavings from the surface of the material, sizzling was very good, with Hang Xiangdong's more and more relaxed demeanor, and soon there was an old craftsman's frame.
"See, it's right to use the planer like this!" After a while, Hang Xiang Dongyang proudly stopped his hand and directly handed over the planed wood cube in his hand to Wen Xu's hand.
Wen Xu looked at the wooden square in his hand, nodded and praised: "Okay, uncle, you can really do it!" ”
But in my heart, I said: You feel that you have cut the square of the main leg of my small bed into less than two-thirds of the original, and it is really straight, but it is two laps smaller!
