Live broadcast of my leisurely mountain village life

"Lin Xuan. Help me cut four thicker bamboo strips to serve as the main structure of the bamboo backpack."Chen Yiyi handed over the bamboo and said,"

The bamboo strips are too thin. It can indeed reduce the weight, but one thing is that it is easy to deform, so thicker bamboo strips are needed as support points.

""Okay." Lin Xuan took the bamboo and cut four bamboo strips neatly.

After Chen Yiyi took over, she arranged the thicker bamboo strips into a 'well' shape. She fixed the intersection with a rope, and then took the thinner bamboo strips and began to weave the bamboo backpack.

The two of them worked together and the bamboo backpack slowly took shape visibly. It took an hour to weave a bamboo backpack.

The girl made a delicate finishing touch. She twisted the bamboo strips with pointed edges and inserted them into the gaps of the bamboo basket to form a curved arc. This way, it would not prick your hands.

"Done." Chen Yiyi held the bamboo basket with both hands. It was very light.

"We still need the shoulder straps." Lin Xuan reminded softly

""Yes." Chen Yiyi suddenly realized it.

She took out several braided ropes and used three strands of rope to make shoulder straps in the same way as braiding.

Such shoulder straps are wider and have a larger force-bearing area, so that the shoulders will not be hurt when carrying it.

After more than ten minutes, the shoulder straps were fixed in the thick bamboo pieces inside the bamboo backpack, and a bamboo backpack was completed.

"Lin Xuan. Cut some more bamboo strips and I'll make a small bamboo backpack."Chen Yiyi said softly.

She also wanted to carry a bamboo basket when she went out, so that she could put more things in it and free her hands.

""Yes." Lin Xuan nodded, and took the hatchet to cut bamboo again. As long as you find the trick, it is not difficult to cut bamboo.

Due to the characteristics of bamboo, it can be split along the pad after being cut, so it is easy to divide the bamboo into strips.

Some people also call bamboo a universal material. Of course, there are exaggerations in this, but bamboo is widely used.

In daily life, such as bamboo houses, bamboo chairs, bamboo baskets, etc. After further processing, bamboo can be made into new materials that are more durable than steel.

"It should be enough."Lin Xuan cut a lot of bamboo strips. He turned his head and looked at the girl concentrating on weaving a bamboo basket, but he didn't bother her.

He frowned and thought for a while, and his eyes scanned the wooden sheds and shelters, and soon found the banana bark in the fish fall.

"Oh, I almost forgot about this thing," Lin Xuan muttered to himself. It was time to try the linen problem.

He carried a handful of dry weeds out of the woodshed and came to the fire outside. He lit the weeds and let them burn. After about a minute, the dry weeds quickly burned to ashes. And these wood ashes were what Lin Xuan wanted.

He went back and moved the wooden barrel to the fire, used an engineer shovel to put the wood ashes into the barrel, then went to the sink to fill it with water, and returned to the woodshed to stuff the banana bark into it to soak.

"I hope this method is useful."Lin Xuan stretched his body.

Soaking banana bark in wood ash water can make it much softer and easier to separate useful fibers.

"Lin Xuan. What are you doing?" Chen Yiyi asked curiously.

"Processing banana bark. See if you can separate finer fibers."Lin Xuan explained softly.

"Are you going to prepare to make linen?" Chen Yiyi's eyes lit up.

"Yes, we need new clothes. Lin Xuan raised his mouth and said

"You are the one who needs clothes more." Chen Yiyi rolled her eyes and glanced at Lin Xuan's abdominal muscles.

"Uh" Lin Xuan was speechless.

Indeed, he should ask for the real clothes before showing

"Go take a shower." Lin Xuan urged the girl to take a shower.

"Yes, yes." Chen Yiyi smiled playfully, put down the bamboo basket and stood up to get clothes.

The girl used an engineer shovel to carry the heated stones out of the wooden shed. She had already learned how to make hot water.
