Thinking of this, Liu Xing put down his sister, picked up the sharp hatchet at the door and walked towards the bamboo forest in the back mountain.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Little Peanut hurriedly chased after him with his short legs, but suddenly he turned back to the gate, picked up the bamboo basket before chasing him again.

She was afraid that Liu Xing was lying to her. When she walked, there would suddenly be no figures and she went to dig loaches again. It would not be fun for her to be alone at home, but if she had a bamboo basket in her hand, she would not be afraid of anything, because she had to use a bamboo basket to catch loaches.

Otherwise, they will all escape.

Liu Xing looked back at this scene and couldn't help but smile.

He took the hatchet not to catch loaches, but to go to the back mountain to cut down southern bamboo to make bamboo products and sell them at the market.

Bamboo refers to bamboo strips that are split into strips.

Before he was reborn, in order to make a living, at the age of sixteen, he first studied carpenters with his uncle for five years, and then came to see the plasterer to make money by making projects, and then learned plasterer and water and electricity installation.

After getting married, due to the pressure of life, I took my family to work in the coastal area for more than ten years. By chance, I learned the skills of bamboo craftsmen, chefs, etc.

In a word, Liu Xing was a complete craftsman before his rebirth, and there was almost no life he could not live in the countryside.

Bamboo craftsmanship is an ancient profession. After 2000, with the emergence of a large number of plastic products, bamboo products were almost eliminated.

But now it is 1993, and people cannot live without bamboo products such as baskets, baskets, baskets, sieves, dustpans, and other bamboo products, so it is appropriate for Liu Xing to use this craft to make some money to improve his life.

The most important basic skill of a bamboo craftsman is to split the bamboo. To make a complete bamboo into various types, the first thing to do is to split the bamboo, and then make different parts of it into various bamboos.

For Liu Xing, who had more than ten years of experience in bamboo craftsmanship, this was a light car. In half an hour, more than a dozen southern bamboos turned into bamboo in his hands.

But his hands were still a little tender, and under the protection of his fingers without calluses, he was inevitably scratched by bamboo shoots.

Liu Xing didn't care about this injury at all, because for craftsmen, it is impossible not to hurt both hands.

He remembered that when he was doing carpenter, his right index finger was cut off by a flatbed machine. If he hadn't been reborn, he would have suffered a disability for his whole life.

"It's better to be reborn!" Liu Xing checked his hands, which were slender and fair, and the scars were almost impossible. This was almost impossible before rebirth.

But now it’s not the time to be happy, so I’d better make some pocket money first.

"It's early July of the lunar calendar, and the dustpan used to dry beans should be a popular item in the market." Liu Xing thought to himself.

Therefore, Liu Xing planned to use the following bamboo shoots to make dustpans. Although the price is lower than other bamboo shoots, it is simple to make. It should not be a problem to make twenty or thirty pieces in two or three hours.

If you have a complete set of bamboo craftsmen's tools, the time can be reduced by at least half.

After the production is completed, I will ride a bicycle to buy it at the market. I will get two or three pounds of pork soon.

And the most important point is that his bamboo craftsmanship was not learned from the local masters, but from the masters in factories in southern Fujian.

The bamboo products made are much more refined than the local ones, but they are also very particular in appearance.

However, Liu Xing was a little worried, that is, the dustpans he made now were all wet bamboo products, that is, bamboo products made from the bamboo that were cut. If the local villagers resisted this, they would probably not be able to sell it.

Because bamboo products made of wet bamboo will be slightly deformed under the sunlight, and if you don’t have the skills, you will also collapse the bamboo. Of course, if you have the skills, the bamboo products made of wet bamboo will be durable and will never have any quality problems. This is an inside story that experts only know, and most people don’t know.

A winnowing basket was quickly made under the craftsmanship of Liu Xing. He folded it hard and saw that there was no problem with the quality, he squatted down and continued to make the second winnowing basket.

The little peanut beside her was staring at her eyes, with her big eyes having a strange color. She wanted to ask Liu Xing what she did to make this round dustpan, but she didn't dare to ask, for fear of disturbing Liu Xing's seriousness.

If she couldn't eat braised pork at noon, she would regret it to death.

For this reason, she threw down the bamboo basket on her little hand and started handing the bamboo strips to Liu Xing.

Although Liu Xing didn't need it at all, the little peanut was having a lot of fun.

The movement of cutting bamboo strips quickly attracted Liu Dageng. He looked at the seven or eight already made dustpans on the ground, and immediately put down the hoe in his hand in surprise: "Liu Xing, you...when will you...be a bamboo craftsman live?"

"I studied with my grandfather!"

Liu Xing turned around when he heard the sound.

This is a saying he had thought of for a long time. Anyway, it is not difficult to make a winnowing basket, so it is enough to spend some time. Moreover, my grandfather really knows the simple bamboo craftsmanship skills. He often makes simple bamboo products to sell and exchanges for daily necessities during the slack season. This is no secret.

He still remembers that Old Man Wang from the neighboring village learned the skills of bamboo craftsmen by himself. Everyone around him knew that the bamboo products he had just made were a bit ugly.

Of course, it is difficult to learn well. The bamboo craftsman is a great subject, and only Liu Xing himself knows this.

"Brother said that you will sell all these dustpans later and buy meat!" Seeing that his father's eyes were wrong, Xiao Peanut stood up and hurriedly protected the dustpans on the ground, fearing that he would snatch them away if he had any disagreement.

"Buy meat?" Liu Dageng shook his head when he heard this: "This idea is good, but is it a bit too late to go to the market to sell when you are done?"

Today is the day to go to the market. The children have to make trouble, but he never cares about it, but he still kindly reminded him that he has tried the craftsmanship of bamboo craftsmen, and it is not difficult to get started. However, it would be a bit difficult to make bamboo products quickly and achieve the level of exquisiteness of selling money. Otherwise, the small amount of southern bamboo in Qingshi Village would have been cut down long ago.

"It's not too late. At most, I can make more than 20 dustpans in one hour. The money for meat should be enough!" Liu Xing reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead and threw a made dustpan at the feet of Little Peanut.
