Chapter 11 Commencement
The next morning, the family began to prepare for the incense collection.
There is no Taishi chair at home, so a high bench is used instead.
There is no blue and white tea set, so I went to the branch secretary Han Zheng's house to borrow a set.
Without tea leaves, boil two pots of boiled water.
In front of the statue of the ancestor Luban, three kinds of offerings, such as vegetarian snacks, large watermelons, and scrambled eggs, were placed, and Li Mu and Li Shun gave incense to Luban.
Carpenter Zhou's father and son arrived, pulling a frame car. There were tools such as saws and planers, a pig's head and a bag of wheat.
Putting the pig's head in front of the statue of the ancestor god, Zhou Xiang knelt in front of Li Shun with a teacup in both hands, and respectfully raised a glass to the tea.
Li Shun sat on the chair with a golden knife, and if he took over this cup of tea, he would become Zhou Xiang's master.
In the future, we should teach him with heart, and teach him carpentry, wood carving, stone carving and other skills, which is also the obligation of being a teacher.
Li Shun does not plan to rely on carpenter's craftsmanship to eat in this life, because there is not much future.
Craftsmanship is just a means to accumulate the first pot of gold, and if you are ready to continue to do business in the future, then it is good to pass on the craftsmanship.
Thinking of this, he took the teacup quite seriously.
Let the tea rub on your lips and place the teacup on the incense table.
Zhou Xiang kowtowed his head and officially became the top disciple of Li Shun, a carpenter.
Apprenticeship!
"Brother Mu, let's get started." Carpenter Zhou smiled.
"Let's go!" Li Mu was also very happy.
The four carpenters gave Lu Ban incense and prayed to the grandfather to bless the successful completion of the two wardrobes.
Li Shun stared at the statue of Luban, and said in his heart, my ancestor, your inheritance and incense will soon be broken!
Carpenters are divided into furniture carpenters, car carpenters, and house carpenters. In the near future, the car carpenter will be extinct.
A few decades later, not to mention in the cities, there will be no wooden wheeled vehicles in the countryside, they are all motor vehicles and electric vehicles.
Now the house will be built with beams, rafters, wooden doors and windows, and in the future, it will be all reinforced concrete, iron doors and plastic steel.
Only the furniture carpenter is left to survive, or like Zhou Xiang, he will work in a furniture factory in the future.
Or, like Li Shun, study carving assiduously, become a master of woodcarving, and stand at the top of the carpentry pyramid.
Li Shun believes that carpentry is a profession with no future and no money, and he cannot devote all his energy to carpentry.
Teach Zhou Xiang the ability of wood carving, and strive to teach a carving master, which is also worthy of the ancestor.
After the incense, the official start began.
First, the dead bark was cleaned with an axe and chisel, and the four carpenters worked together.
The dead bark of the jujube tree is particularly abundant and thick.
Brushing it off like rain, Li Shun felt super decompressed.
After cleaning the first rough wood, Li Shun Zhouxiang cleaned the second one.
Li Mu and Zhou carpenters lay the rough wood flat, measured it with a steel ruler, and marked the log with an ink fountain.
Then the four carpenters worked together to place the log diagonally on the wooden frame and fix it with a staple.
The studs are shaped like large staples, thicker than cigarettes, and are used to hold two pieces of wood in place.
The log is at a 45-degree angle to the ground at the left hand, and the upper end is about the same height as Father Li's shoulder.
Li Shun and Li Mu pulled a large saw and sawed along the ink fountain line, with the aim of sawing the log into many planks.
Carpenter Zhou's father and son pedaled the bottom with their feet to prevent the log from rolling.
Half an hour later, the Li family father and son pedaled, and the Zhou family father and son pulled the big saw, and they kept rotating.
The thickness of the ink fountain line is calculated in advance, for example, how thick the planks are used for the wardrobe.
From the beginning of pulling the first saw, Li Shun thought of the sports car woodworking band saw machine.
Stand the front and rear flywheels of the bicycle vertically on the ground and magnify them dozens of times.
If the chain is replaced with a large saw blade, and the motorized motor rotates quickly with a flywheel, it is a band saw machine.
The woodworking sports car is like the hand-pressed train of the old movie, and the wood is fixed to the woodworking sports car.
Using a band saw machine to cut wood into planks is the same as the current large saw, and the efficiency is dozens of times faster than that of the large saw.
Li Shun thought of the band saw machine, not because he saw the efficiency, but because he saw the business.
Nowadays, the roof structure of the house is that the beams are framed with beams, and the beams are framed with rafters or tiles, and the tiles are laid on the tiles.
The tile board is obtained by cutting the trees with a bandsaw machine, Li Shun said:
"Dad, is there a woodworking band saw machine within a radius of ten miles?"
Li Mu was stunned:
"What's a bandsaw machine?"
Li Shun asked Carpenter Zhou:
"Uncle Zhou, do you know the band sawing machine?"
Carpenter Zhou paused the tug-of-war, thought about it carefully, and shook his head.
"Dad, Uncle Zhou, you two always know about the tile board, right?" Li Shun asked.
"The lumber mill sells tiles and builds houses, what do you ask for?" Li Mu moved his sore wrist.
"Tile boards are expensive, and roofs are usually built with rafters." Carpenter Zhou lit a cigarette and said.
Li Shun immediately answered:
"The effect of the tile board is better than that of the rafters, right?"
The two old carpenters nodded at the same time, and the two tiled boards were tiled.
There is a gap between the two rafters, and the dirt on the roof will fall.
"Shun, what are you asking about the tile board?" Li Mu felt that his son had something to say.
"It's okay, I suddenly remembered, just ask." Li Shun said casually.
The Zhou family father and son continued to pull the saw, and Li Shun considered the possibility of doing a band saw business.
Looking for a way to buy a set of band saws, the people who were about to build a house within a radius of ten miles pulled a cart of wood to find Li Shun.
Li Shun opened the band saw, processed the wood into tile boards, and charged a processing fee.
If the total cost of buying wood to process shingles is cheaper than buying finished tiles, the band saw machine will have good business.
It is a bit difficult to support the family by carpentry, although carpentry makes money, it is difficult to have work every day.
Carpentry plus a band saw should make it easy to support a family.
In my previous life, I went out alone, but in this life, I dragged my family with my family, and I couldn't go out for at least three years.
There will soon be confinement wives, nursing babies waiting to be fed, and it is impossible to let their wives and children go out to do business at home.
I kept thinking about the bandsaw machine until my mother called for dinner:
"The meal is ready, let's do it again after eating."
Four carpenters wash their hands and eat, and there are four dishes on the table, a bottle of liquor.
Carpenter Zhou helped, and the Li family didn't have to pay the salary, so they had to let the family have a good meal.
At least four dishes, one soup and one bottle of wine, at least one meat dish, coarse tea and light rice are not very polite.
The mother and daughter don't serve at the table, there is a small table in the kitchen, and they make do in the kitchen.
When you are full of wine and food, continue to pull the big saw.
It took four carpenters a whole day to turn coarse jujube wood into planks, and they were so tired that they were sore.
The efficiency is impressive, and if you use a bandsaw machine, you can do it in a maximum of 10 minutes.
Dinner was still four dishes and one soup, the Zhou family father and son were full of wine and food, and the Li family father and son sent it to the door.
Li Shun said: "Xiangzi, I'll leave later." ”
"Hmm." Zhou Xiang nodded obediently. A little happy, thinking that the master was going to open a small stove to teach wood carving skills.
Excited, I came to the hall and saw Master pointing to the dining table.
There were only leftovers on the dinner table, and Zhou Xiang whispered:
"Master, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? Are you blind? Li Shun slapped the table directly:
"After eating, pat your ass and leave, let your grandmother clean up? Outrageous! Go and brush my dishes, dishes, and pots! ”
Zhou Xiang was directly scolded, Li's father and Li's mother, and Daxia Xiaoxia were also stunned......
