It turned out that the old man Chen Jiaqiao was the first expert in making palm products in the surrounding area.

It's a pity that he is old, his son is paralyzed in bed, and his only grandson Chen Sanbao is ignorant, and the craftsmanship of palm products is about to be lost.

It is an old rule to pass on men but not women, and not to outsiders.

This old rule has to be broken when it comes time.

Bai Shou said: "Grandpa Chen, I want to do palm products business, please teach me and the three of Sanbao and Shuilong." ”

Although it was a bit of a danger to take advantage of others, he didn't expect that the old man Chen Jiaqiao readily agreed.

"Hand, that's what I mean. Starting tomorrow, I will teach you this craft. ”

In fact, the old man Chen Jiaqiao didn't want his craft to be lost, and he was silently looking for a successor.

White-handed, the villagers said that he was a disaster star, but the old man of Chen Jiaqiao didn't see it that way.

Now, the old man Chen Jiaqiao recognized the white hand.

White-handed joy because he has found a new industry.

Engaged in the production of palm products, you can't make huge profits, but there is one of the biggest benefits, that is, you can make full use of free time without delaying agricultural production.

The people of Baicun do palm business, which is self-produced and sold, neither using palm leaves from the head, nor palm trees to make furniture, let alone squeezing palm oil, but harvesting the leaves of the trunk to make clothes.

After thinking about it all night, thinking further, he decided not to make a robe.

The clothes can block the wind and rain, and can also avoid the cold and keep warm, which is deeply loved by farmers, but it has lagged behind the times.

Now there are both raincoats made of oilcloth and raincoats made of transparent plastic paper, the price is not high, and it is not difficult to buy, and those who work in the fields are willing to wear bulky coats, that is, those old farmers.

When I went to Chen Sanbao's house the next day, I took my second brother Bai Dang with my white hand, and the two brothers walked side by side towards Chen Sanbao's house.

"Big brother, did you pick me up?"

The white hand snorted.

"Big brother, I'm only fourteen years old, and I'm still a junior high school student."

"Hehe......"

"Big brother, I can't do that kind of work."

The white hand asked, "Tell me, what can you do?" What do you plan to do in the future? ”

Bai Dang is speechless, not the material for reading, he can only face the paddy field with his back to the sky, and when he is a younger brother, he can only follow the eldest brother.

"When I was 10 years old, I was already working in the production team. You're fourteen years old, and you should be working hard. ”

"I listen to my eldest brother."

"There are only two paths in front of you. One is to learn a craft after finishing junior high school. The second is to follow me, what I do, you will do too. ”

"I don't learn a craft, I follow my eldest brother."

"Then do it. You're still on summer vacation, and you're too lazy to do your summer homework. ”

"Big brother, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."

"Hehe, you can rest assured of this. I don't think Chen Sanbao and Lu Shuilong's strength is as strong as yours. ”

When he arrived at Chen Sanbao's house, he didn't enter the house with his white hands, he stood in the yard by himself, and let the second brother enter the house and let him go to greet Chen Sanbao's stroke father.

Chen Jiaqiao brushed his beard and jaw and expressed his appreciation for the actions of the white hand, and he was deeply satisfied with the white hand knowing the etiquette.

After a while, Lu Shuilong also came.

Including Chen Sanbao, the four little guys were all respectful and stood with their hands down in front of Chen Jiaqiao.

Chen Jiaqiao asked Bai Shou, "Hand, what kind of products are you going to make?" ”

"Palm rope, palm broom, palm duster, and palm brush."

"Don't you make a robe?"

White Hand nodded, explaining the reason for not making a robe.

Chen Jiaqiao also nodded, "Do you have the capital?" Sambo and Water Dragon don't have any money. ”

"Grandpa Chen, is two hundred yuan enough?"

"Enough, enough." Chen Jiaqiao pointed at Chen Sanbao, Lu Shuilong, and Bai Dang, "Do you plan to partner or go it alone?" Or is it something else? ”

The white hand has already thought about it, "purchase together, produce separately, sell by yourself, and make money at your own expense." ”

"Well, that's it."

In the courtyard of the Chen family, there are six palm trees, and Chen Jiaqiao took the wooden ladder and walked under the palm trees, "Now, you look carefully, I will teach you how to peel palms." ”

The wooden ladder leaned against the palm tree, Chen Sanbao held it, and Chen Jiaqiao held a collapsible knife with a handle, climbed the ladder, and then held it on the palm tree with his left hand.

I saw Chen Jiaqiao holding a knife in his right hand, facing the bottom part of the palm at the bottom, and quickly circled around the palm tree.

Then gently pull the palm stalk, a palm with a stalk, like a leaf falling down.

The speed was too fast, and no one, including the white hands, could see it clearly.

"I'll peel another one."

Chen Jiaqiao slowed down this time, but he still raised and fell, one by one.

"Remember, if the knife is too deep, it will hurt the tree, if the knife is too shallow, the knife will hurt the silk, the knife will be too low, it will be difficult to peel the palm, and if the knife is too high, it will hurt the brown silk. One knife is the basic requirement for entering the industry. ”

As he spoke, Chen Jiaqiao slowed down again and peeled two more palms.

Chen Jiaqiao was old, and after a few demonstrations, he got off the ladder.

The four of them changed to a palm tree, took turns to go up the ladder, and practiced on the spot.

Chen Jiaqiao scolded again and again because he was not satisfied.

Only white hands are slightly better, and the scolding is the least.

The six palm trees of the Chen family were all regarded as objects of practice by them in the hands of the white hands.

Chen Jiaqiao also talked a lot about palm knowledge, and other essentials of palm peeling, as well as where there are the most palm trees in the mountainous areas, as well as the price of palms and bargaining skills, and so on.

Then, the peeled palms were gathered together and Chen Jiaqiao demonstrated how to divide the palm stems and palm silk.

It is also a knife in hand, in one go, without hurting the stalk or the silk.

Then the white hand and others continue to learn.

How to deal with palm stalks and palm silk, Chen Jiaqiao talked for more than ten minutes.

White hand memory is good, and it will be in the head once it is done.

"In the afternoon, I continued to practice palm peeling. Three treasures, you go to the water dragon's house, hand, you and when a group. Both of you have palm trees, so do as you learn today. The peeled palms did as I said. ”

White-handed asked, "Grandpa Chen, when can we go out and try?" ”

Chen Jiaqiao said: "The day after tomorrow, the eighteenth day of the lunar calendar, is a good day." ”

Bai Shou said goodbye and took Bai Dang home.

There are ten palm trees in the white hand, four in the front yard and six in the backyard. In the past, it was peeled by people in the village, three or four times a year, but it was an income, which could solve the soy sauce, salt and vinegar of the whole family.

It was stripped twice this year, and the third time should have been a month ago, because the family had a little money, so I didn't care about the little income of this palm tree.

Today, the two brothers took a ladder and surrounded ten palm trees, almost stripped naked.

One tree can peel about ten, and ten trees can peel more than ninety.

This is followed by the division of palm stems and palm silks.

The third brother and the eldest sister and the younger sister wanted to come to help, but they didn't let them go, and they insisted on doing it with the second brother.

Because the white hand thinks that the third brother and the eldest sister and the younger sister are not the material for work at all.

In the early morning of the eighteenth day of the lunar calendar, the white hand waited for the four to set off in full gear, and finally went out to peel palms.
