Chapter 340: Kaleidoscope
The two reporters left the village, and the big drama directed by the fat man ended successfully, and the backer returned to his previous quiet and busy life. It is the mind that is quiet, and the body that is busy.
The school was built higher and higher, the four frames were completed, and the gable was finished, so the fat man muttered to Captain Zhao: "When will you go to the beams, that year when we built a house in the goose factory, we first supported the beams and columns, and then built the wall, how did it turn it up now?"
"Layman, you are building an earthen house, and we are building a brick house now. "Captain Zhao taught the fat man another lesson.
Just when the fat man was scratching his brain, the two pillars came over: "Fatty, the door and window frames are all installed, and the glass on it is missing, you hurry up and find a glassmaker, we can't pull that thing, there is no glass knife." β
It is said that in the countryside at that time, there was such a type of person, a glass knife walking in villages and towns, called glassmakers. Whoever wants to pull a mirror frame, photo frame, door and window glass, etc., they have to invite them.
When I pulled the building materials a few days ago, I had pulled back boxes of large glass, the outside was a piece of wood frame, and the inside was a piece of bright and bright big glass, all of which were one meter by one meter and five meters, closely attached to each other, looking green and watery, and it was very attractive.
In the countryside at that time, glass was also a rare thing, and if a child hit a piece of glass, then wait for the butt board, and you will definitely not dare to sit on the bench for three days.
Many people's windows are still treated with plastic sheets, and those who can put glass on the doors and windows are even living a good life. Under normal circumstances, when you look at the window in the courtyard, you can know how this house is doing.
If the glass is wiped like nothing on the window frame, and it is all one piece, there is no patchwork, there must be a good life at home, and the old ladies of this family are also more diligent.
The second type of windows are also inlaid with glass, but most of them are spliced with scraps, and one piece often has to be spliced with three or four. It's okay in the summer, but in the winter, the cracks in the windows will break. When the window paper sticks on the outside, it looks like a piece of plaster paste, and the thief pulls it ugly.
The most amazing thing is that if the glass is shot by Tao Boy with a slingshot, it will be split and broken into more than a dozen pieces in a radial shape. It doesn't matter, find two big buttons on your clothes, one inside and one outside, and put them tightly in the middle with threads, and those glass stubbles will all fit well.
The third category is a bit miserable, most of the windows are made of plastic sheeting, even if there are a few pieces of glass, they are all the kind of frosted glass with patterns, the transparency is relatively poor, standing on both sides, each other can not see what they look like.
But the little babies like this the most, tear a piece of white paper and spread it on the glass, and then take a pencil and draw back and forth on the paper. In a short time, the pattern on the glass can be printed on white paper.
It is precisely because glass is more expensive that at that time, glasssmithing was also a relatively respected industry. Especially in the eyes of the little babies, the glass knife is simply amazing, and I heard that the small bright spot on the front tip is still a gem, and it is precious.
The fat man pondered for a moment, and then slapped his thigh suddenly: "Look for a sugar gourd." β
Erzhuzi looked at the big glass, and nodded vigorously: "If you dip the sugar gourd, you will definitely enjoy it, and this big glass can drop more than a hundred." β
"Uncle Fat wants to dip the gourd in sugarβ" The wild boys cheered when they heard that the wind was rain.
"Go aside, now the red in the mountains hasn't come down yet, dip it in the sugar gourd. I mean Tang Fengshan, who came to dip sugar gourds last winter, heard him mutter, sell sugar gourds in winter, and ride a bicycle to pull glass for people in summer, just look for him - Ermuzi, you ride my bicycle. β
The second yak is the same age as the big fat man, and he grows strong, just like a small yak calf. Hearing what the fat man said, he immediately agreed and ran away. I can ride a bicycle for a walk, where can I find this good thing?
"Do you know what people's names are, can you find them-" The fat man shouted, and the second yak had long since disappeared.
It wasn't until the night when his eyes were dark that Eryakzi rode back, followed by a bicycle, Tang Fengshan sat on it steadily, carrying a fur bag, and his demeanor was like the one who sold sugar gourds. A leather bag, like a craftsman.
However, as soon as they entered the village, they were still recognized by the second fat man, and they all pointed at him and shouted: "Isn't that a sugar gourd, Uncle Fat is still deceiving people, let's get the tips first." β
Tang Fengshan almost fell off the bicycle with a heel, and hurriedly shouted: "I'm here to cut glass this time." β
"Cut the glass!" The wild boys all rolled their eyes there, and then rushed up, this one helped push the bicycle, and the other helped carry the back pocket, so they almost lifted Tang Fengshan and left.
"You little guys, you must be making a kaleidoscope of glass strips. Tang Fengshan smiled and exposed the conspiracy of the wild boys.
The team of people and horses slaughtered at the door of the fat man's house, Tang Fengshan had experience, standing outside and didn't dare to enter the door, so he first asked the second fat man to go in and report. He still remembers that the black dog and bear thief in the fat man's house were enthusiastic, and he practiced hugging when he saw people.
The fat man greeted him from the house with a smile: "Brother Tang, I finally invited you, have you eaten?"
"You have something delicious here, do you think I have eaten?" Tang Fengshan also knew that the fat man was a good person, so he didn't say anything.
Ermuzi took over the conversation: "Uncle Fatty, Uncle Tang just came home and asked me to bring it, but I haven't eaten yet." β
"That's just right, I'll have a drink with you. The fat man took Tang Fengshan's hand and walked into the house. Anyway, he couldn't work at night, and Tang Fengshan also let go of the amount of alcohol, but he was drunk by the fat man all of a sudden, and slept until the next morning.
At breakfast, the fat man was still open: "Don't be thorough anymore." β
"Pull it down, you can't do any work!" Tang Fengshan hurriedly finished eating, and then went straight to the construction site with his pocket. Because Li Changhe's house is the closest, he cuts glass at his house.
Boxes of glass were transported, Tang Fengshan held a steel tape measure in one hand, a small notebook in the other, and a pencil tip pinned to his ear, walked around the construction site and measured the size.
Because the window frames of each room are basically the same size, it doesn't take long. When Tang Fengshan walked back to Li Changhe's house, he saw that the courtyard was standing aside, and there was a large flat wooden board on it, and the glass was already placed on it, just waiting for him to move the knife.
Wang Sanpao stood in front of him holding the glass, and his stubble was happy: "I think this means, it's similar to killing pigs, but this time it's Lao Tang who is in charge of the knife." β
Tang Fengshan opened his leather pocket, took out a glass knife, put it in a small plastic bag, and after taking it out, he gently wiped it on the beads in front of him with his fingers: "Okay, open it!"
I saw him measure the size with a tape measure, pinching the tape measure in one hand, holding a knife in the other, placing it at the front of the tape measure, moving the two hands in parallel, accompanied by a squeaky sound, a straight scratch appeared on the glass, from beginning to end, just like the ink line.
Then put down the knife and ruler, moved the scratch to the edge of the board, and asked Wang Sanpao to press it there, he grabbed the glass with both hands, shook his wrist, clicked, and the glass was broken off a long strip, and the incision was neat. The helpers next to him applauded again and again: "This craftsmanship is not bad." β
The fat man also nodded again and again, he had seen a glass puller before, and he had to use a long wooden ruler to force it, just like a schoolboy drew a horizontal line with a grid ruler. This Tang Fengshan's technology is obviously higher, and he directly uses a tape measure to trace the line.
Then, according to the size of the window, the glass was pulled apart piece by piece, and in the end, only more than an inch wide of waste remained. Pull here, and the two pillars and others carry the glass to the window, and the flow operation is average, very fast.
It was almost 10 o'clock at noon, and the glass of more than a dozen houses was basically finished. At this time, the bell rang from the production team, and the little babies were out of school.
After only a few minutes, almost the whole village gathered the little children. A pair of eager eyes were cast on the glass strips on the ground.
"Uncle Fatty, let's make glass cylinders. "Erfeizi petitioned on behalf of everyone.
"One person, three pieces, all be careful, no one cares if you hold your hand!" The fat man waved his hand generously, and the little babies immediately thundered with joy, and automatically stood in a line, Qiqi was in the first place, waiting for the glass to be divided.
As soon as Tang Fengshan's glass knife sizzled, he pulled out strips of glass, more than an inch wide and six or seven inches long, three pieces in one piece, and distributed them to the little babies one by one. The little ones are as happy as getting red envelopes for the New Year, and they are all smiling.
After dividing the glass, they immediately dispersed in a hurry, and they all went home to make a kaleidoscope. Qiqi also took the fat man's arm and said crisply, "Uncle Fat, you can do it for me." β
The fat man also tightened his throat, followed her example, and said in a shrill voice: "Uncle Fat is stupid, he can't do it!"
Li Changhe happily took out a few pieces of paper: "Qiqi, I'll make it for you." After that, he rolled up the glass with paper, and the glass formed an equilateral triangle, which was rolled up with paper and tied with thin threads on the outside. Another piece of paper was covered at the bottom, and then a handful of pieces were cut out of multicolored paper.
There are long strips and triangular ones, which are cut randomly with scissors. Then pour it into the glass tube. When you look at the bright place, a wonderful world appears inside. The homemade kaleidoscope is the favorite thing of the little babies, and it is ever-changing while watching.
"I'll see if this thing looks good. The fat man snatched it from Kiki's hand, and looked inside with one eye, and many triangles were reflected inside, layered on top of each other, as if there was an incomparably wide world inside. The shredded colored paper is composed of various patterns, and the image of each triangle is exactly the same, connected together, colorful, and dreamlike.
With a slight turn of the hand, the pattern inside immediately changes, no wonder the children love this, and even the fat man does not let go of it. Qiqi was so anxious that he grabbed his arm and jumped up: "Fat uncle, show me for a while-"
Everyone watched and laughed on the side, and they all made noise that the fat man was not in shape, and he grabbed things from the child. The fat man didn't care about this, and only after he was addicted to it did he hand the kaleidoscope to Qiqi.
At this time, Mao Mao also came over to see the freshness, and Qiqi brought the kaleidoscope to its eyes and turned it gently. Mao Mao screamed, frightened and ran away. For it, the world inside the kaleidoscope is too mysterious.
"Let's go, let's eat!" the fat man waved his big hand and began to get down to business. Walking on the road, the fat man's heart is also happy: everyone's life is not like this kaleidoscope!
