Chapter 079: Fortune Technique
"Flowing gold?"
"What is liquid gold?"
"What's that? Is it worth it? ”
"Gold is so easy to pick up? Still flowing? It's unreliable when you hear it. ”
As soon as they heard the gold, everyone fried the pot and made a fuss.
"As for what liquid gold is, let me buy it here, and everyone will know in a while, and now everyone will listen to me and prepare the corresponding things separately."
"You say what you want to prepare, I'm here to see what treasure you're going to play!"
"That's good, Grandpa Wu Idiot, you have a lot of strength, so you can come back with Erman to chop some bamboo nearby.
Grandpa Dao, you are responsible for breaking the bamboo cut back to make bamboo slivers, and Grandpa Taro, you are skillful, and you are responsible for weaving the bamboo slivers into impermeable big-bellied bamboo baskets with small mouths.
My mother went down to the market to buy some chicken butts, chicken blood, and chicken intestines, my sister went to find some mineral water bottles, and the four young ladies were responsible for making bamboo strips about 20 centimeters long, the more the better. ”
"What are you responsible for?"
"Overseeing your work, haha......"
"You kid——!
Everyone was curious, suspicious or serious, and they all started to work in full swing, and Wu Idiot and Erman quickly dragged back the wild bamboo with the thickness of a goose egg.
Lao Dao uses a firewood knife to cut the bamboo into bamboo segments of about one meter and six, and then through the processes of rolling knots, cutting bamboo, opening, splitting, drawing, drawing, scraping and other processes, the bamboo is made into suitable bamboo strips.
The old taro picked up the finished silk and put it in the courtyard under the sun, sat next to it on the spot, selected the skillful selection of the strips, began to weave the bottom of the cage, 5 horizontally, 11 vertically, first folded into a cross shape with two pieces of bamboo strips, and then in the warp and weft directions respectively in the form of picking one and pressing one. After braiding 5 horizontal strips and 11 vertical strips, the bottom of the bamboo basket is formed.
After weaving the bottom, begin to weave the basket body of the bamboo basket vertically, only to see the silk happily beating in the hands of the old taro, in the form of picking a press to bend the silk to the longitudinal continue to add the silk, around a circle, and then around a circle, the basket body is quickly formed.
When the basket reaches 30 cm, the mouth is closed, first lay out the bamboo strips longitudinally and bend them longitudinally and fix them until all four sides are enclosed to form a column shape of the basket, and continue to add the basket in the longitudinal direction in the same way until the desired basket height is reached.
The mouth of the basket is slender, according to my request, the old taro unscrewed the cap of the mineral spring level bottle that my sister found, removed the bottom of the bottle, and fixed the bottom of the bottle without a bottom on the bottom of the basket, so that the mouth of the basket will form an entrance and exit with a big mouth and a small neck.
Soon the bamboo basket that they want is formed, the bottom of the bamboo basket is 30 cm long, 25 cm wide, and about 50 cm high.
Lao Dao raised the bamboo basket, looked at it in the sun for a while, and praised it in his mouth: "Old taro, it's not simple, and this craft, I think, we can rely on it to eat our stomachs in the future." ”
"The main thing is that the materials provided by the Taoist chief are good, and the lines made of bamboo strips are smooth, uniform in thickness, and the thickness is appropriate, so that I can play a good role." The old taro smiled innocently and said.
"That's, and I don't look at whose craft." The old man said smugly.
Throwing down the bamboo basket in the collection, a pair of Mu Kangping, who was mixed in the girl's pile, called: "Boy, can you talk about it now?" You don't really want to sell bamboo baskets, do you? ”
Mu Kangping looked at the sky, lay in Linghui's arms, glanced at Lao Dao and said, "Don't be lazy, it's still early, try to do more before the sun sets." ”
"You kid!" Lao Dao complained, but he obediently picked up the firewood knife and continued to do the great business of chopping firewood.
Mu Kangping was not idle, he got up from Linghui's arms, grabbed Linglong's hand and said: "Come on, I will teach you to scrape bamboo slices, which will be of great use in the future, first choose a straight and uniform bamboo strip, and then cut it into 20 cm long bamboo slices, and then use a knife to cut it into 1 cm wide, and use a rope to trap each of them into a trap, and put it in a cool place to avoid the water evaporating too quickly and deforming." ”
Lao Dao said sourly while chopping wood, no, while chopping slivers: "Is it really good for you to hold the girl's hand like this?" Have you ever considered your little daughter-in-law's feelings? ”
Mu Kangping leaned on Linghui's arms and glanced at the old man who was wielding a firewood knife in the sun: "Dirty old man, don't slander our pure friendship, don't worry about him, let's continue, where did I say just now?" ”
The four young ladies blushed cheeks, but they did not leave.
Suddenly, a rotten cabbage smashed on Lao Dao's head, and then he heard his mother's voice: "Xiao Chunzi, I see you bullying my son again, be careful to cut off your food!" ”
"Mother, he bullied me!"
When the mother heard this, she immediately threw the rotten vegetable leaves in her hand, and one of them was a big rooster.
Seeing the darts coming again, the startled old man hurriedly shouted: "Ah! Auntie, my little ancestor, no, absolutely not! ”
"Haha......"
Looking at the old road jumping up and down, everyone who worked laughed heartily.
In the evening, a total of more than a dozen bamboo baskets and hundreds of bamboo skewers were made. Mu Kangping felt that it was almost over, so he asked his mother to kill the big rooster and pluck the feathers, chop the chicken buttocks and chicken internal organs, soak the chicken blood in a torn cotton cloth, place them in bamboo baskets, and then let everyone take them to the mountains.
Halfway up the mountain, I crossed a depression and came to a gravel beach.
Mu Kangping stood still on a stone cliff, looking at this gravel beach that was more than fifty meters wide and not knowing how many miles long, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: "I don't think there will be a day to come back, the original life-killing beach will soon become the current cornucopia!"
Thinking of this, Mu Kangping pointed to the rocky beach under him proudly and said, "Stick the bamboo basket in the stone crevice in this rocky beach, and our task today will be completed." ”
"What the hell is it for? Mysterious and mysterious. ”
Lao Dao muttered, his mother couldn't help but glance at him, and Lao Dao immediately jumped down with the bamboo basket on his back.
"Hey! I'm not done yet! Be careful, don't get bitten by bugs! ”
Before Mu Kangping's words fell, he heard Lao Dao screaming: "Oops! ”
Then I saw Lao Dao shake his hands and jump.
Everyone rushed over to take a look, and saw that one of Lao Dao's fingers was red and swollen, like a sausage, and his mother hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Bitten by a centipede!" Lao Dao snorted and said.
"Centipedes?" The martial idiot looked at the special bamboo basket and suddenly realized in his heart, and then smiled, this is a good method.
"There are a lot of centipedes here, I moved a stone, a lot of centipedes came out, you have to be careful!"
"That's right, quickly find a place to fix the bamboo basket, or get stuck in the stone cracks, it's best to find a dark and damp place to place it."
"Trapping centipedes?" Lao Dao asked after a while.
"Yes, every year when centipedes are frequently active, and it is also the time when the drug effect is the best, at this time, centipedes are not only easy to catch, but also easy to sell for a price."
"Roar! The kid knows a lot! The old man said angrily.
"Am I born to know?"
"Then why do you want to lure centipedes with chicken blood and chicken butts?"
"Centipede has the effect of quenching wind and antispasmodic, detoxifying and dispersing knots, and relieving pain, and is often used to treat acute and slow convulsions, convulsions, rheumatism and stubborn paralysis, as well as various stubborn pains, sores and ulcers, swelling and ulceration.
At the same time, centipede treatment of tuberculosis disease, spine pain, joint lesions is also very good, like damp and warm places, itself cold, centipede has no resistance to blood, especially to warm chicken blood has no resistance. ”
"Then why use a chicken butt?" The old way is unwilling to find fault.
"Because I like it! Hey ......"
"You! Stinky fart! Lao Dao said with a mouthful of blood in his chest.
Mu Kangping ignored him and said to the crowd: "It's going to be dark soon, we have to speed up, if it's slow, it's going to be dark, and it's not good to go down the mountain for a while." ”
