Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Nanyang Chapter 27 Pot Beats, Hoods and Dustpans

Wu Yong thought to himself, this is really lying down and can be shot! It seems that it is better to ask less about things that you don't understand in the future.

I inadvertently caught a glimpse of a pile of sorghum stalks in the courtyard, my eyes lit up, and I suddenly had an idea in my heart.

Before the advent of plastic products, this sorghum seed was a good thing and could be used to make various daily necessities.

Wu Yong remembered that in his previous life, when he was very young, he lived in the Huaihai Plain, and every household planted this 'rice seed', that is, sorghum.

This sorghum can be said to be a treasure all over the body, and the sorghum under the sorghum ears can be used to make sorghum wine, and the noodles can be steamed by grinding into noodles.

The sorghum ears and sorghum are tied together to form a broom, which can be used to sweep the floor.

Cut a few short ears and tie them to make a broom, which can sweep dust and brush pots.

Sorghum is the most ideal material for farmers to make steamed baskets and pot lids.

The remaining sorghum straw is also of great use to farmers. It can be used not only to build houses, but also to make rafters. It can also be made into a partition wall and used as a rib for the partition wall. It can also be woven into mat foil and used to dry things.

Of course, this sorghum straw is a good material for building a nunnery, which saves time and effort to build.

Finally, there is a root, which can be dried and used as a firewood pot.

Thinking of this, Wu Yong couldn't help but sigh at the wisdom of the ancients, which is really making the best use of things!

At this time, most of the uses of sorghum have been developed, but no one has used straw to make pot rackets and steamed buns, after all, steamed buns are the first ones he made.

Just do it when you think of it, Wu Yong came back to his senses, and when he saw that everyone was staring at him, he couldn't help but smile embarrassedly.

"Don't blame the uncles, the boy suddenly thought of something that could replace bamboo to make a steamed basket."

Everyone was stunned, and then some joyful, this bamboo basket because of the season and the limitations of growth, it is not easy to make, if there is an item to replace bamboo, this is a source of wealth for the people.

However, after all, the five heads of the family are people who have experienced the world, and as soon as their minds turn, they ask crucial questions.

"Is this thing easy to obtain, are there any restrictions, is it easy to make?"

Wu Yong smiled, pointed to the pile of sorghum straw, and said, "Don't hide it from your uncles, the item I said is that." ”

Seeing that everyone was still confused, Wu Yong didn't say much, and while instructing Cheng Zhao to go to the house to get needles and threads, he led everyone to the place where the straw was stacked.

Wu Yong plans to separate the sorghum stalks from the sorghum straw first, and then select the right sorghum stalks.

To make the pot beat, it is necessary to choose sorghum slabs with uniform thickness and little difference in size.

The production requirements of the steamed bun head are smaller, but considering the aesthetics, the color and shape of the selected sorghum seeds should be uniform.

According to Wu Yong's idea, he also made a dustpan out of sorghum seeds.

Wu Yong said the general requirements, and everyone started together, and after a while, a bunch of sorghum seeds gathered.

At this time, Cheng Zhao happened to come over with a shuttle of twine, and looked at a few iron needles with a cold light inserted on it from a distance.

Wu Yong took the two items and immediately activated the creation skill.

I saw him fly with his hands, and use a needle and twine to thread the sorghum mules one by one in the order of medium and long and short sides, and then wear them horizontally, and then vertically in a row, and the middle arrangement is tightly seamed, and finally cut it into a circle with scissors, so that the pot racket is formed.

The pot racket uses the most materials, but it is the easiest to make.

The difficulty of making a bun head depends on its shape, and it can be made into square, round, and irregular shapes.

Wu Yong has a system in hand, and in order to show the effect, he made one.

The most difficult thing to make is the dustpan, which not only requires linen edge sealing, but also a long strip sealing, which is a test of the producer's craftsmanship.

However, this is a trivial matter for Wu Yong, who has a system, and it is not worth mentioning.

The body is entrusted to the system, Wu Yong's consciousness watched the dustpan constantly forming, and suddenly thought of seeing a description in "Journey to the West" in his previous life.

tells the story of the king of the daughter country who fell in love with Tang Sanzang and wanted him to stay and marry her! Tang Sanzang had a firm heart, and he definitely disagreed, so he refused.

However, the second apprentice Zhu Bajie moved his heart, and he said to the female master of the court: "I have an idea, doesn't the queen want to match her son-in-law, hehe, just go to the king, don't you just leave my old pig behind, what do you think?" ”

The female princess was frightened by him, and when she saw Zhu Bajie's ugly appearance, she could only stammered and said to him: "Although the elder is a man, he only says that this face is ......."

Bajie smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm a little ugly." As the saying goes: Coarse willow dustpan and fine willow bucket, who in the world thinks men are ugly......"

At first, Wu Yong didn't understand the meaning, but later checked on the Internet, and only then did he know that in the ancient family-based agricultural labor model, the autumn harvest and spring ploughing when planting crops required the cooperation of husband and wife to complete.

Men are usually responsible for harvesting, threshing, drying and hoarding, while women are responsible for storage and daily expenses.

It is very tiring to use a dustpan to make food, and it is suitable for men to dry; The bucket is used for storage and measurement, and the things made by the dustpan are often poured into the bucket, and the two utensils are coordinated with each other, and are often sold or used in sets.

Thick willow branches are relatively thick and strong, and can be used to weave dustpans. The thin willow branches are relatively delicate and soft, and are suitable for making buckets of rice grain. Whether it is a thick willow branch or a thin willow branch, each has its own function, and for the person who compiles it, it is equally important.

Therefore, the meaning of the phrase "thick willow dustpan and thin willow bucket" is generally that people in the world have always valued talents more for men, and they don't care about appearance.

Thinking of this, Wu Yong searched his memory and found that there was no dustpan at this time, and it seemed that people's role in willows had not been developed.

The needlework plaques, jewelry dressing baskets, boudoir embroidered clothing suitcases, etc., woven with willow branches, are not only non-toxic and tasteless, white as silver, fine workmanship, but also have clear lines, smooth feel and beautiful shape. Even in later generations, when there was a wide variety of goods, it was loved by people.

Although the dustpan made from sorghum is lighter, it is far less sturdy and easy to use than the willow branch.

However, the pot racket made of sorghum is the most convenient utensil for putting steamed buns, dumplings and other foods, which not only has good air permeability, does not stick to the skin, but also has the effect of moisture absorption, which can ensure the original taste of food.

I don't know how long it took, Wu Yong's consciousness took over his body, and then he found that it was already dark, and his uncle Zhuo Wenxuan also arrived at Wu's house at some point, and was standing with everyone at this time to watch him make items.

When everyone saw Wu Yong stop, they picked up a few well-made pot rackets, steamed bun hoods and dustpans beside him to observe carefully.

"This round one is a lid, and I think it fits perfectly. And this shape seems to be made for steaming and steaming. ”

"It's really a good use, in the past, these sorghum seeds were either pasted into the wall, or used as wood for fire, but no one ever thought of using them to make these things."

"The appearance of these items will definitely be accompanied by the spread of anxiety relief throughout the world. It's time for the revival of our five-surname family! ”

……

The five heads of the family were in front of each other, and the others were not suitable to speak. After the five of them finished appreciating, they remembered to ask Zhuo Wenxuan.

"When did the propaganda arrive? But what's the matter? ”

Zhuo Wenxuan arched his hand and said with a smile: "I've been here for a while, and I didn't bother when I saw that everyone was concentrating on watching Yong'er make items."

Today, I sold the worries and got a lot of money, because all the families in the middle of the house participated, and Zhu Lidian meant that the big guys were evenly divided. I also thought that the head of the family with the five surnames was here, so I wanted to ask the brothers to come forward to preside over it. ”
