In the past two days, a set of seawater decontamination equipment was installed on the air defense island and mangrove island.

In addition, construction of larger color steel and tile houses has begun on Mangrove Island.

Four hundred square meters!

This time it's a workshop, a canning production workshop.

Although the color steel tile house is easy to build, the area of ​​​​400 square meters is still too large, and it will take at least two days to erect.

The construction team of the production team was already familiar with building colored steel and tile houses, so Wang Yi did not need to stay behind and returned directly to the island.

With nothing else to do for the time being, he went to Wang Xiangqing's house to watch the bamboo craftsmen at work.

Spring has come and the weather has warmed up. He is planning to make a plan with Hairtail Hou to start an offshore breeding industry.

To engage in offshore breeding, it is essential to use cages and bamboo strips. Originally, he had to bring these things with him since 2023.

But since there is a bamboo craftsman in the production team, he can get the materials nearby and no longer has to work so hard.

Later, the bamboo craftsman had to get busy at home, so when he came to visit, he brought a set of gifts and bamboo crafts tools.

This is just like the set of carpenter tools he gave to Wang Xianggao. It is also a complete set with various items:

There are wood chisels, digging chisels, bamboo needles, scrapers, clamping chisels and 7-shaped scrapers, as well as straight-head bamboo knives and hook-head bamboo knives.

Among them, the bamboo knife is the most precious.

These are made of high-quality carbon steel, forged and quenched as a whole. The blade is sharp, the back of the knife is thickened, and the handle is made of non-slip and anti-falling plastic. The price is fifty yuan a piece...

Purchase a complete set of tools and get a tool bag, which is just like a shoulder bag. Wang Yi wears it cross-body on his shoulder. Two bamboo knives are inserted diagonally outside and are fixed with real cowhide lasso, making it easy to insert and insert.

He took the bag down the mountain. When the students saw it, they ran over and asked, "Teacher Wang, what kind of bag is this? I think it has a knife handle."

"This is a swordsman, a martial artist!"

Wang Yi waved his hand: "This is a bamboo craftsman, a craftsman who makes a living."

Wang Xinmi asked: "Can you take out the knife and let me see it? I also want to fix this thing."

Wang Yi stared at him.

Wang Zhuangyuan and Wang Kai have now corrected their evil ways. The prodigal son has turned back, and your kid has jumped out again?

What do you mean? Are you going to play a fantasy routine for me? Hit the small one and make the big one, hit the big one and make the old one?

Wang Xinmi was dealt with by him, and his arrogance was far worse than that of Wang Zhuangyuan and Wang Kaike at the beginning.

His eyes turned cold, and Wang Xinmi immediately nodded and patted her butt three times before running away.

Wang Yi went to Wang Xiangqing's home. At this time, the yard was full of bamboos on both sides, and Wang Xiangqing and his wife were busy weaving bamboo baskets.

Seeing Wang Yi enter the door, the couple put down their hands and stood up to greet him.

Wang Xiangqing's daughter-in-law Hou Xiaozhi rushed to make him tea.

Wang Yi waved her hand and said no, and Wang Xiangqing smiled and said, "Teacher Wang is here to learn skills today? I see you have equipment with you."

He could tell at a glance that the knife on the bag was a bamboo pole knife. After all, the bamboo pole knife is the basic tool of a bamboo craftsman.

Now he holds a bamboo strip knife in his hand, and there are several small saws, small chisels, etc. beside him.

In comparison, the quality of his bamboo knives was naturally incomparable to what Wang Yi brought.

Regardless of the steel mouth or craftsmanship used, there are differences between the two knives.

Another Wang Xiangqing's knife has been used for a long time, and the blade even has pits.

The edge of the knife has been sharpened again and again. Although it is still very sharp, some of it has been worn away, causing the blade to become narrow.

This kind of bamboo strip knife is not very useful anymore. The main reason is that the blade and the blade are made of steel but the processing technology is different. The steel on the blade is polished, and the remaining blade is not sharp enough.

Wang Yi pulled out a straight-head bamboo knife and gave it to Wang Xiangqing.

Wang Xiangqing stretched out his hand and touched it and exclaimed: "Good knife, this is really a good knife!"

He shook his hand and nodded: "This plastic knife handle is very comfortable. The industrial product is different from what we use ourselves. It is a good thing."

Wang Yi handed him the satchel and said, "Second uncle, I give this to you."

Wang Xiangqing was stunned, looked at him and asked: "Aren't you ready to learn the craftsmanship from me?"

Wang Yi smiled and said: "No, I'm just curious..."

"What is Mr. Wang's identity? He plays bamboo like the two of us? Isn't that right?" Hou Xiaozhi came out with a teapot, and the last question of "Is it" was about Wang Yi.

Wang Yi smiled and said: "Working people are the most glorious. I really want to learn these skills, but I really don't have time."

"My visit this time is actually to collect life materials."

Wang Xiangqing scratched his head: "Vegetarian food? What kind of food? I only have pickles and some pickled vegetables at home now. If you want, I will get them for you..."

"No," Wang Yi laughed, "it's the material, the material of the material, or it's called collecting style."

Wang Xiangqing became even more confused and said with a sneer: "The villagers don't understand anything. Teacher Wang, you are laughing at me, so what are you trying to do? Is the wind in my yard good?"

Hou Xiaozhi said: "You are really Wu Dalang's arrogance - a stupid guy who is a bear."

"The collection of works that Teacher Wang is talking about is the collection of works by writers. Didn't you hear that on the radio? Didn't Comrade Bing Xin want to organize some writers from our country to go to the countryside to collect works in the spring?"

Wang Xiangqing said: "I really didn't pay attention to this."

Wang Yi said: "It doesn't matter if you didn't pay attention, as long as you know what I'm here to do."

"I just came here to join in the fun, not to learn how to make bamboo weaving."

When Wang Xiangqing heard this, he was not polite to him.

He said calmly and generously: "Then I will accept this set of gifts from you. Anyway, Teacher Wang, if you think my work can be of any help to you, just tell me and I will do as you say."

Wang Yi smiled and said, "Just do your thing, I'll follow and watch for a while."

Wang Xiangqing was very excited when he got the new bamboo knife.

There were two bamboo knives in total. He grabbed one in each hand and played with it. Hou Xiaozhi rolled his eyes: "I am Li Xiangyang with two swords, and you are Wang Xiangqing with two swords?"

Wang Xiangqing was not good at words and kept laughing: "Then don't I just have two swords?"

Hou Xiaozhi poured Wang Yi another cup of tea. After sitting down, he took a bamboo knife and looked at it. He praised: "Teacher Wang, no wonder your uncle likes this knife. It's so good."

When she saw letters on the handle of the knife, she was immediately in awe: "Is this a good thing you imported from abroad?"

Wang Yi said: "No, this is produced in our own country."

Wang Xiangqing took the bamboo knife back from her hand and said, "This knife has not been used yet. We are very skilled, so don't use it until you are familiar with it."

Hou Xiaozhi scolded him: "You are just stingy, and you are reluctant to give good things to your own family."

Wang Xiangqing said nothing and started to study the other bamboo weaving tools inside.

Hou Xiaozhi picked up the bamboo strip knife he had used before and started to work. With quick hands and feet, he split the bamboo with one stroke of the knife, cut a tube of green bamboo in half and then in half, cut it into bamboo slices, and then separated the skin and heart of the bamboo.

It's as quick and easy as a chef cutting a cow.

While she was working, she chatted with Wang Yi: "Teacher Wang, I heard that our team can hold banquets in the future?"

Wang Yi said: "It can be done. The new daughter-in-law will receive benefits when she enters the house. She will be given several options, including a banquet, so it depends on what they choose."

"I heard that we old wives also have benefits?" Hou Xiaozhi asked expectantly.

Wang Xiangqing curled his lips: "You are wearing flowers in your dreams - it's a beautiful thought."

"I'm going to make a fool of your mother." Hou Xiaozhi scolded him fiercely.

Wang Xiangqing chuckled again. He was not angry and continued to study these new guys with his head down.

Hou Xiaozhi felt embarrassed and said to Wang Yi: "Teacher Wang, don't be offended. We uneducated people talk like this, vulgarly."

Wang Yi waved his hand: "Second aunt, you are too polite, but you are right, you also have benefits, it seems like they are available every year, right?"

"It's hard to say exactly now. Anyway, it will have to be decided by the team committee meeting. Anyway, I heard from the captain that he will give something to the wives in our team every year from now on."

When Hou Xiaozhi heard this, he became energetic and complimented: "Teacher Wang, you are now the second captain. What you say will work. If you say it does, it will definitely work."

As she spoke, she began to draw silk, cutting the bamboo bark into green strips and pulling out the green strips.

Her craftsmanship is very skillful, and the cut out strips are uniform in thickness and clear in blue and white.

Wang Yi looked around.

There are bamboos in the yard, as well as some woven bamboo products, armchairs, bamboo stools, baskets, and shoulder poles made from thick bamboo with the bamboo skin removed.

The most common ones are baskets for mowing grass and collecting fish. Anyway, all kinds of bamboo products are included.

The bamboo produced on Tianya Island is of very good quality, and the green silk is pliable and extremely elastic.

Later, Wang Xiangqing also started working. He said that his craftsmanship was not good enough, but a good master could pull out green silk silk thinner than a human hair.

Green bamboo strips are most suitable for weaving fine and delicate bamboo strips and processing them into various kinds of beautiful bamboo crafts.

The same cannot be said for yellow bamboo. The yellow bamboo strips have poor flexibility and are difficult to cut into very thin strips.

Watching the two people busy, Wang Yi asked: "There are also people from other teams in our team, I mean young people, are there any who are willing to learn bamboo weaving skills?"

The breeding farm requires a lot of bamboo weaving, and the couple may not be able to handle all the work on their own.
