"What are you looking at?"

Noticing Song Yuyan's gaze, Aunt Lie asked.

Song Yuyan was looking at some bamboo carving tools, which were piled together because they were small and not complete sets, but Blacksmith Wang probably stuffed them in a corner because he was afraid of being walked away.

In terms of love and control over carving knives, the people here are probably no better than Song Yuyan. The knives she used to learn bamboo and wood carving at the beginning were given by others, and then she slowly started to make them herself.Of course, the process of making a carving knife was not smooth. She struggled for many years before she barely got the teacher's approval.

When she saw the carving knife, she thought of bamboo and wood carving, and she was happy to see Lie Xin.It's just that she estimated in her heart the family assets and the spare funds that can only be used in emergencies, and in the end she could only regretfully give up the idea of ​​buying them back.

"It's nothing." Song Yuyan smiled at Aunt Chaolie.

Aunt Lie didn't ask too much, but said: "I bought the knife too, you have to work hard, don't waste the money for buying the knife!"

"Well, what Aunt Lie said makes sense!"

Aunt Lie asked again: "Are you really good at weaving bamboo baskets?"

It wasn't that she questioned Song Yuyan, she went on to say, "If you really know how to weave, then you can weave a few for me. The baskets in the shop are too old, and people carry food to sell on consignment. It’s too old and picky, so it’s easier to replace it with new ones.”

Song Yuyan knew that Auntie Lie wanted to help her, so she didn't act hypocritically: "Okay, after I make it up, I'll send it to Auntie Lie to choose."

The materials were all ready, and Song Yuyan wove the cattail fans and straw mats in his hands first, and then weaved the bamboo strips.

Because the sky was cloudy and rainy, it was impossible to tell the time from the sunset, so Song Yuyan waited until she was hungry before making dinner.And when she was about to cook, Song Yuban ran in and said, "A man, keep your word!"

Song Yuyan watched him say these inexplicable words, and it took a moment to remember that the brat at noon reluctantly agreed that he would be responsible for cooking in the future.

She wanted to sharpen the brat's temper, so she gave him the iron spoon: "Okay, you cook, and I'll make that half of the mat."

Song Yuban probably didn't expect that she really asked him to cook, so he could only take the iron spoon with his eyes wide open. When he watched her leave, he was anxious from behind: "Hey!"

"Who is it?" Song Yuyan asked.

Song Yuban choked, and mumbled, "Brother."

"The rain is louder than yours."

"Big brother!"

"Hey, brother, what's the matter?" Song Yuyan didn't show it on the face, but he was very happy in his heart. It turned out that this is the feeling that there are brothers and sisters who can be bullied.

"You, you—" He blushed, and Song Yuyan thought he was some kind of innocent boy confessing to the girl he liked.

"Okay, let's talk when you want to talk. I have to work against time to support my family, so I won't waste time with you here."

Song Yuban suddenly dropped the iron spoon and ran away.

Song Yuyan was stunned: "Is it so realistic?" Because he didn't like to listen to her talk, why didn't he work if he didn't work?

But Song Yuban came out grabbing his straw mat, and didn't care about the raindrops falling on his bald forehead, just blocking the rainwater hitting the straw mat with his body.

His face was still red, and he was still panting: "Sell it for me!"

Song Yuyan took the straw mat. In her opinion, this straw mat was not well woven, and it looked a bit rusty and rough in many places, and it wouldn't cost much to sell it.

But this straw mat was made by Song Yuban.

She vaguely remembered that Song Yuban almost fell into the river to mow the grass before, and the two quarreled afterwards, and she didn't ask Song Yuban why he wanted to mow the grass.Now that I think about it carefully, it turned out to be such a thing!

But she still has something to say: "This straw mat is not easy to sell."

Song Yuban has mixed feelings in his heart. On the one hand, he knows that his skills are not up to standard, and the reason why he was able to sell before was the help of Tang Zhi; on the other hand, he feels sad and embarrassed because Song Yuyan rejected him.

However, a bastard like Song Yuyan can turn his back on the prodigal son, why would he give up because of Song Yuyan's veto?

He doesn't want to rely on Song Yuyan, but his current ability is not enough for him and Song Yuzhuan to survive in this world, so he has to bow his head at the right time...

"I know I'm not good at making it up, but I will make it better!" A resolute look appeared on the little face.

Song Yuyan nodded: "Okay, you can continue cooking."

Song Yuban was stunned: ah?Just agree, don't continue to hit me?

Although he was a little surprised, he still breathed a sigh of relief. These days, he still wonders if Song Yuyan still hates him for scolding her for being a loser and refuses to help him. It seems that he is thinking too much .

After Song Yuyan finished weaving the straw mats and cattail fans, he began to prepare the broken bamboo strips.There are more than ten steps in the process of bamboo weaving, which is not as simple as straw weaving, but it is different from the pursuit of exquisite and meticulous handicrafts in modern times. In this era, bamboo weaving still mainly meets the basic needs.

After all, in modern society, there are more industrial materials, and handmade bamboo products are gradually losing the market.For various reasons, bamboo weaving has gradually transformed into a work of art, which requires strict control over the selection of bamboo materials and meticulous craftsmanship.

And those bamboo weaving handicrafts displayed in museums and expositions are carefully woven by bamboo weaving masters, and their value far exceeds the bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets used to hold vegetables and garbage in rural areas.

But even though Song Yuyan's target group was ordinary people, she didn't intend to be vague, and she would still do the procedures that should be done.

There are several kinds of finished products that she wants to weave, one is the consignment basket that Aunt Lie needs, the other is the bamboo sieve that the common people usually need to screen and process grain flour, and then there is a multi-purpose suitcase that is necessary for going out and at home— - Bamboo basket.

The materials and weaving techniques of these kinds of woven products are different:

The width of the strips selected for the consignment basket should be about five millimeters, and the thickness can be divided into thick and thin according to different weaving methods, but no matter which weaving method is used, it should be strong and durable.

The bamboo sieve is relatively simple. The width of the selected material is about one centimeter, and only one layer is required.

As for the bamboo basket, it should be the most difficult to weave, because the weaving method at the bottom of the bamboo basket is different from that of the round wall. In addition to the [-]mm strips, you have to use [-]mm strips to weave around the circle... …

Although the process is complicated and diverse, Song Yuyan has rules in mind, so he is not afraid of getting messed up.

Song Yuyan uses the "cross method" to break the bamboo, that is, divide the bamboo into four equal parts, but it cannot be broken directly with a knife, because it is easy to cause unevenness of the bamboo body.Then open the strips, that is, cut these bamboos into bamboo strips.

Immediately afterwards, the Jianmen knife that I bought came in handy. Jianmen knife is also called "uniform knife", which is to ensure the symmetry between the strips. The gaps with the required thickness of the strips, and then use the freshly cut strips to pass through the gaps...

After all, Song Yuyan hasn't "opened" and "scraped bamboo strips" in person for a long time. Now that she is doing it again, she will still be stabbed by bamboo chips and bamboo thorns. There was a lot of bleeding from the wound.

The environment does not allow her to complain, so she can only pull out the bamboo thorns in her fingers during the daytime, and then continue to work.

During this period, Lin Yongming came and saw that she not only had a clear understanding of the process, but also was very meticulous in her work, so she immediately believed that she knew how to weave bamboo.Before, he thought that Song Yuyan was just talking, so he asked Song Bing specifically for this reason, but neither he nor Song Bing thought that she would indeed.

The reason why he has doubts about Song Yuyan is also because he has heard some rumors recently...

The author has something to say: Yam: I thought you were some kind of innocent boy confessing to the girl he likes.

Sun'er: Am I not an innocent little boy?

Sugar Girl: Why is the title of the chapter called "Good Brother" and whose good brother is it?

Yam: I think... I'm fine with the two little radish heads, don't you think so?

Sun'er: But aren't you following the female supporting role?I am the good brother, the good brother of Binger.

Yam: You're just a younger brother :)
