Volume 1 Building the Castle Chapter 12 Weaving Bamboo

After the two of them were done, they took a pleasant bath in the stream. Back in the tribal cave, several groups of centaurs have all returned.

The most speechless thing is that the team that collects wood fuel piles all the wood in the cave, is this to meet the fire and nirvana?

Wu walked over and motioned for Wang Tian to wait for him to eat, but the deep melancholy in his eyes showed that he did not understand what Wang Tian had done. It appears that someone from the tribe explained to him what had happened in the morning.

Can you not put so much pressure on me? Brother is under a lot of pressure, okay. If you want to wear a crown, you must first bear its weight. The heavens will descend on the Si people, first work their minds, work their ......, Wang Tian silently thought in his heart.

After lunch, although Wu was worried, he still handed over the personnel to Wang Tian for arrangement.

The picking team is leaving! The Timber Collection Team is off! In the morning, the men of the bamboo cutting team joined the fishing team and set off!

The fish has been washed and hung, and the meat is grilled over the fire, so just pay attention to the heat.

In the afternoon, Wang Tian had only one thing, and that was to teach the women of the tribe to weave bamboo baskets. If you want to make the work beautiful, Wang Tian may not be able to do it, but there is no problem with its compilation.

Wang Tian pulled out the Swiss Army knife configured by the army and began to peel off the bamboo and take displeasure. The hardest and most resilient part of the bamboo is the blue skin on the surface of the bamboo, and the bamboo is cut open with a saber to extract the bamboo skin. Then divide into two bamboo strips the thickness of a toothpick and set aside.

Wang Tian tirelessly guided until everyone mastered it. Once you've accumulated a certain amount of raw materials, start working on the frame.

First of all, a whole complete bamboo strip is broken from the middle, grasped in the hand and put it on the ground, and then the middle position is slightly fixed with a tree vine, and then rotated with the fixed point as the center, this bamboo strip is spread out in the center like a peacock with the screen open. Adjust the distribution evenly, with thin rattans, in a criss-cross manner. After the winding is fixed, remove the rattan that was first tied. At this time, a circle composed of bamboo strips is produced, and then the whole thin bamboo strip is selected, stuck on the circular bamboo board, the whole bamboo strip is wound with the bamboo strip on the bamboo board in turn, and after walking a circle, the two ends of the bamboo strip are reserved for a little length and then weave the next one in the same way. And so on and so forth, and after a few moments, you get a round bottom the size of a futon.

The round bamboo board is equivalent to the longitude of the earth, and the whole bamboo strip woven by the root and the longitude is equivalent to the latitude of the earth. Use longitude to control the shape and height of the basket, and strengthen the shape of the basket by increasing the latitude, so that the basket grows layer by layer.

The futon woven by Wang Tian was passed in the hands of several primitive women, and everyone showed a look of surprise and originality, pressing how they didn't expect it. I wondered how I hadn't thought of it. Even this semi-finished product is more convenient than what you can pack with animal skins.

There are two ingenious ones, who have already done it according to the gourd painting scoop, and their minds are a little twisted at first, but after Wang Tian's patient guidance, the speed has also increased. After a while, he took the cracked mouth he had made up and smirked at Wang Tian. Wang Tian gave a thumbs up.

He then drove the men of the tribe to continue making the bamboo strips used for the borders. Leave the one you make up for the others as a reference, and then teach them separately.

The bottom of the bamboo basket has been weaved. Next, bend the longitude so that the longitude is perpendicular to the bottom, and the roots stand up.

He took out some charcoal from the fire that was still burning, took a small bamboo bucket of water, picked up a leaf and poured it on the leaf for later use.

The connection between the longitude bamboo strip and the futon is slightly baked on the burning charcoal and heated, bending a certain arc as a right-angle transition. Hold your hands in this arc and dip in the water on the leaves. This is to take advantage of the characteristics of the bamboo strip that will not rebound after being heated and cooled, and pass it through water. This ensures faster styling. After repeating this operation for a circle, the longitude is all erected, and the basic shape of the bamboo frame can be seen through the warp.

In fact, this simple shape does not need to be shaped by fire, and experienced craftsmen can make up any desired shape at will. Wang Tian can't do it, and these primitive people who have just started learning can't do it.

Human evolution is actually the process of brain evolution. Present the basic weaving method to the congregation first. After mastery, a variety of weaving methods will always be developed. The rest is just a process of time.

Wang Tian found a rattan and tied the top of the warp at random to prevent the bamboo pieces from jumping and hurting people during the next weaving process. It was then given to a female primitive, and she was asked to continue weaving. He taught another roasting bend to shape it. The two spokespersons, Heizi and Xiaoling, who have been following, are very happy to watch on the side.

"Bamboo, bamboo frame," Wang Tian said, pointing to the whole bamboo and the bamboo frame being weaved. Kuroko and Xiaoling repeated it twice seriously, and the pronunciation was standard and the words were clear. Behind him, the people who had already completed the weaving of the pu group and surrounded them also followed the chanting voice.

After two days of being out of each other, Wang Tian and Heizi Xiaoling have already mastered a certain amount of vocabulary with each other, and they are not far from being able to speak happily, and Wang Tian is extremely looking forward to the arrival of this day.

"Learn Mandarin well, and you won't be afraid to go all over the world" is a wise saying!

Wang Tian checked everyone's products, and all of them were okay and could be used. There are a few people who are sparse and inconsistent, and a little adjustment is enough. There are also two people who have made the dough too large, which can no longer be used to make a basket on the back shoulder. Wang Tian bent the shape with a fire bomb and let it continue to weave, which could not be made into a basket when it was too big, but could be used to make a basket. I didn't have to rework it.

Wang Tian instructed everyone how to deal with the joints to be more beautiful and beautiful, requiring the size of each woven circle to be consistent, and the two used as baskets are required to be the same size.

The height of the basket woven by the two women who were skillful before was already suitable, Wang Tian called a stop, found a bamboo with the thickness of a small female finger, roasted and bent it into a circle of about 40 centimeters on the open fire, compared the size of the basket, took the Swiss Army knife brought over when he crossed it, picked a small saw, and sawed off the excess bamboo pole. Bamboo is very resilient. The thickness of the little finger is impossible to break neatly easily.

After that, take out the knife and cut the smaller end a circle, after the mouth is sharpened, the bamboo bent into the shape of a garden circle is opposite to each other, and the small head after sharpening and cutting is inserted into the round hole of the big head and squeezed and fastened vigorously, and then put it on the fire again. Do two in a row.

The people of the tribe felt extremely curious about Wang Tian's thing that could pull out a knife for a while and a saw for a while. I was so surprised by its sharpness that I couldn't close my mouth.

The tenacity of bamboo, they know it very well in their hearts. Before the metal tools came out. It is almost impossible to cut a single piece of bamboo completely and easily. Some of the bamboos brought back to the tribe were burned by fire, and some were obtained by digging the roots and then blowing them with a stone hammer. It can be said that it takes a lot of effort.
