Chapter 106: Logging in the Mountains (2)

Zhao Qing, the old village chief, stood on a higher slope and said to everyone: "We can't pile up so many of us, so I think we will voluntarily form a group and divide into five groups." Each group of wood is responsible for transporting it down the mountain and starting work! ”

As soon as Zhao Qing's voice fell, everyone walked towards the mountain with their tools in their hands.

Li Ziyu took Xiaoshan to follow behind everyone, and her heart was a little excited. She really hadn't seen logging in the mountains, and it was an eye-opener to be lucky enough to see it here.

She remembered that the Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu had a poem about logging. What is it called [Title Zhang's Seclusion], the poem says: "Spring Mountain seeks alone without companionship, and Logging Ding Ding Mountain is more secluded." I don't remember the rest of it, but it mainly describes the beauty and comfort of the secluded life, but it is quite in line with the scene in front of you.

After going up the mountain, everyone was automatically divided into five groups. He Shixiang, He Dasen, and He Dashu were automatically divided into a group with He Dahai. Wang Ruiqing, Wang Chunqiu, Wang Chungang and Fu Yunshan are in a group. Zhou Bohai, Zhou Dazhuang, Zhou Xiaozhuang and Gazi are in a group. Zhao Qing, the old village chief, took his two sons and three grandsons in a group. The rest of the group, a little more numerous, also formed a group.

Xiaoshan has left Li Ziyu aside since he went up the mountain, and followed Zhao Zhongrui's little brother and his wife closely, chatting with them lively. The excitement on that face deeply stung Li Ziyu's eyes, Xiaoshan was too lonely, and he needed a partner of the same age too much. Li Ziyu now doubts whether she is right to keep her younger siblings at home like this. Although her intention was for their good, she never asked her younger siblings what they needed, so she blindly took care of everything. Is there really no resistance in their hearts? It seems that it is necessary to communicate with them more in the future to know what they really want. in order to make some adjustments in a targeted manner.

After everyone entered the mountain, the groups dispersed and informed them of their approximate whereabouts.

The silent mountains were noisy because of their presence. A few sparrows chirped in the branches to no avail, and then flapped their wings to find another place to rest.

Li Ziyu chose the group of old village chiefs, and she wanted to see how to cut the trees and how to transport them down the mountain.

I saw that the old village chief first checked the surrounding terrain and determined the direction of the trunk cutting road. He instructed his three grandsons to clear the obstacles around the tree trunk: shrubs, weeds, snow, etc., and open a safe path for the fallen tree trunk.

Li Ziyu and Xiaoshan are also busy, and the five and a half children don't look at how they have not done their work. But in the end, it was the children of the peasant family, and they were not at all afraid of these jobs, and they were cleaned up in a short time.

Then. Zhao Zhenyou and Zhao Zhenmin didn't need Zhao Qing's instructions, they took a big saw, and the two of them sat on the ground on the ground, put the big saw at the root of the trunk and began to saw the roots. Two parallel or triangular edges are sawed at the root. That is, the lower saw edge.

The opening angle is generally 30~35 degrees, and the depth is generally one-fifth or one-third of the diameter of the trunk. After the saw mouth was sawed, Zhao Zhenyou put down the chainsaw and took an axe to remove the wood chips between the two saw edges, which also became a drawer.

After the completion of the lower saw, a sawing edge is perpendicular to the axis of the trunk on the opposite side of the reverse direction of the tree, which is called the upper saw. Its height is generally one-tenth of the diameter of the standing timber from the bottom surface of the lower saw edge, but the place of the lower saw should be 70~80% of the height of the opening of the lower saw edge. Too high or too low will make the surface of the lower saw uneven.

When sawing on the saw edge, add a wedge while sawing. to prevent pinching. At the same time, a certain width of strings is left between the upper and lower saw openings (called residual strings) to slow down the tree fall.

Li Ziyu and the five of them watched the three adults busy with their work, and they didn't know where to help, they all stared at the scene with good eyes.

At this time, I heard Zhao Qing shouting, "Attention!" The tree is falling, everyone get out of the way! As soon as the words fell, there was a "creaking" sound at the base of the tree, and a thick trunk fell to the ground with a bang, and the branches at the top made a rattling sound, which shocked people's hearts.

Zhao Zhenyou beckoned a few small ones to drag the trunk aside, and said to Zhong Rui: "You use an axe to cut down the branches on it, and then carry the trunk down the mountain in a while." ”

When Li Ziyu heard this, she couldn't help but scream: "Uncle, is it like this?" ”

Zhao Zhenyou was already sweating on his forehead at this time, he wiped the sweat and nodded: "Yes, it's all done like this, and you can't get into the ox cart here, or you don't need to pull it with an ox cart." ”

Li Ziyu didn't speak, she frowned and tried hard to figure out how to transport the wood down the mountain. Suddenly, she remembered the principle of the rolling rod, and immediately said to Zhao Zhenyou with a smile: "Uncle, I have thought of a way, we can make the wood roll down the mountain, using a crowbar"

Li Ziyu made a gesture while talking, and explained the principle she knew to Zhao Zhenyou in the vernacular. In fact, not only Zhao Zhenyou, but also Zhao Qing, Zhao Zhenmin and a few small ones are also listening.

After listening to Li Ziyu's explanation, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and praised Li Ziyu for being smart. Li Ziyu was praised so much that she blushed a little, and her heart was sweating wildly. Where is this own idea, it is the result of modern education.

So, Zhao Qing sent Zhongrui to inform the other groups and tell everyone about the method just now. Every year, there are people in the village who build houses, and transporting wood has become everyone's heart disease. In fact, it doesn't take long to cut the wood, and the most troublesome thing is how to transport it. Now that you have this good method, you don't have to worry about it in the future. Therefore, everyone who got the news praised Li Ziyu for coming up with such a good method.

Xiaoshan won't talk about it, when is it only my sister's head to look forward. My sister is simply omnipotent in his eyes, and Xiaoshan accepts everyone's praise as a matter of course. Zhong Rui, Zhong Kai and Zhong Wei all looked at her Li Ziyu with a new look, with complex emotions such as admiration, surprise, and disbelief in their eyes, which made Li Ziyu run away from the wilderness without being able to parry.

"Grandpa Zhao! Uncle! Second Uncle! Brother Zhongrui! Brother Zhong Kai! Zhong Viagra! I'll go back first, you guys get busy. And grandpa, you should always remember the number of people who came today, and don't leave people behind when you pay your salary. ”

"Okay! Go back, I see. Zhao Qing waved his hand and asked Li Ziyu to go back first.

Li Ziyu turned his head to look at Xiaoshan, and Xiaoshan immediately said, "Sister, you go back first, I'll be here." ”

After Li Ziyu saw the logging, she went home. As for the logging itself, the ancient people were really smart enough to know how to cut wood with upper and lower saws and strings to reduce the loss of seedlings. But their knowledge is also very limited, and it is simply incomparable with modern times.

When Li Ziyu returned home, it was quiet in the east room, and it was obvious that Xiaowen was writing. There was no sound in the West House, so I guess I would make a cotton curtain again.

Li Ziyu remembered that everyone just shrunk their hands and went up the mountain like that, and none of them wore cotton gloves. Zhao Qing wore a clip glove, which was still made of cloth.

It's not that they don't know how to bring gloves, it's that they can't afford cotton. Here, cotton is too expensive, and ordinary people can't afford to eat it, so where are they willing to wear cotton gloves? It is better to have that cotton than to add a piece of clothing to the child.

Li Ziyu thought about finding out the cloth head, and it shouldn't take long for her and Li Luo's mother and daughter to make a pair of cotton gloves for each of the helpers, and they could be rushed out before they were finished. It takes three or four days to cut wood, and when it is finished, give them a pair of gloves, which can be regarded as a New Year's gift.
