Chapter 262 Making Mats
After Xiao Yijing finished her meal and sent out the black rice, she began to prepare for making bamboo products.
When I cut bamboo to make rice in bamboo tubes today, I saw black rice and they liked these bamboos very much.
Of course, it's normal for them to like these bamboos, because she rained a little spiritual rain on these bamboos before.
The number of these spiritual rains is not much, and the appearance of the bamboo has not changed much, but in fact the overall change is quite large.
When these bamboos are used to make rice in bamboo tubes, they taste very fragrant.
When everyone ate the rice in bamboo tubes, they all praised it again and again, and they liked it even more than the lotus leaf rice before.
Lotus leaf rice and bamboo rice, the two tastes are completely different, but equally delicious!
Dried lotus leaves can be used to make lotus leaf tea, which can be used to reduce fat and lose weight.
Bamboo can be used to make rice in bamboo tubes, and can also be made into various bamboo products.
Xiao Yijing knew better that if these bamboos were made into various bamboo products, they would definitely be cool, but they wouldn't make people feel colder.
She also plans to use these bamboos to make a summer mat for herself.
She is not affected by cold and heat, but it will definitely be more comfortable to sleep on a cool mat this summer!
Besides, she has to prepare a nest for her cats and dogs.
Xiao Yijing also bought a lot of things for them, but they didn't have much interest.
After the centimeter came, he even lay directly on the ground, at the head of the bed, by the bay window...to sleep, but not in the cat's nest.
They will love it if you use these bamboos to make a nest for them.
It happened that I played a lot of mobile phones and was bored now, so Xiao Yijing turned her attention to other things to kill time.
"Ah Jing, can you make mats?"
Other old people also learned about Xiao Yijing's plan from Qi Yuan and the others, and they were very surprised.
"Yes." Xiao Yijing nodded, "We have a lot of bamboo in our villa. I'm going to make a mat and a few baskets for the black rice."
"You can do this!" The old people were amazed again and again.
Isn’t this kind of handicraft only done by veteran craftsmen? Not many young people are exposed to this industry anymore.
Now all kinds of utensils are basically made by machines.
Things made by machines are different from those made by humans.
I didn't expect Xiao Yijing to be able to do this at such a young age!
"Where are you going to make it? Can I go and have a look?" Mr. Zhang also came over, "I have made mats before!"
"Has Zhang Boyi done this before?"
"Yes." The old man nodded, a little proud, "We used to live in the country. At that time, I supported my family by making these things!"
A few decades ago, it was possible to make some money by making these things. Later, machine-made products rose, which were beautiful and cheap. These hand-made products fell, and he had to change careers.
"However, I haven't done it for many years, and I don't know if I remember it."
"It's definitely okay!" Xiao Yijing smiled and said: "Then you are also together, you can give me advice, I haven't really done it yet."
"Didn't you say you would?" The old man was surprised.
"Yes." Xiao Yijing nodded, "A little bit."
Everyone was amused, "Aren't you bragging?"
"We thought you really knew it!"
Xiao Yijing was not convinced, "I have already learned from those craftsmen on the Internet, and I have learned all the steps, and I have seen it! I even bought the tools last night, and the tools have arrived today!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned at first, and then laughed.
"That is to say, you haven't done it yourself?"
Thanks to seeing her so confident, they thought she had been in contact with her before, but they didn't expect to learn it online!
Now there are various tutorials on the Internet, and many craftsmen will post videos of their work online, and they have successfully attracted the attention of many viewers.
Some powerful craftsmen have become Internet celebrities.
However, a tutorial is a tutorial. After doing it yourself, many people will deeply understand what it means to "know the brain but not the hand".
How many people can easily master a manual by relying on tutorials?
If it were really that simple, many things would not be lost.
Seeing that everyone didn't believe in herself, Xiao Yijing curled her lips, "I'm amazing, I can see it!"
Xiao Yijing has never done a mat before, but she has confidence in herself.
"Okay, okay, you will."
Seeing that she was not happy, the elders quickly nodded and coaxed: "We believe you can do it!"
"Yes, yes, yes, we underestimated you, you can definitely do it!"
Believe it or not, but the little girl wants to do something, how can they throw cold water on it?
Children should praise education!
Zhang Bo also smiled, "It's okay, if there is something you don't know, you can ask me, I should remember."
Xiao Yijing glanced at these old people, "I won't tell you, I'm going to work!"
Seeing the little girl having a temper tantrum, the elders laughed and thought she was cuter, but they dared not laugh out loud.
Several old people hurriedly followed, "Oh, let's join in the fun, we also want to make a summer mat with our own hands!"
They think very well, if Xiao Yijing can't, they will help. You can't let the little girl really fail, can you?
What a blow to the little girl's confidence!
The others looked at each other, laughed and shook their heads, and then dispersed.
Soon, a few people arrived at an open space not far away.
Because the bamboo is quite long, it was placed in the open space outside.
However, there are big trees around here, with dense shade, which blocks this place, and is not afraid of being exposed to the sun.
The tools that Xiao Yijing ordered last night have arrived, and they were delivered by the boss herself.
She chose a nearby business and communicated with the other party on the phone. No, she didn't even have to run out by herself, the boss delivered the tools himself.
No way, she bought too many tools, this business made the boss very happy.
Zhang Bo came forward to check these tools, "Hey, this tool is quite complete! It is more than the tools I used before!"
"Of course." Another old man said: "Your work was done many years ago. Now that technology is changing so fast, there must be some different tools."
Zhang Bo nodded, "That's true."
Looking at the tools and bamboo all over the floor, Zhang Bo's interest that had been dormant for many years revived.
He touched these bamboos and was a little surprised, "This bamboo is really good! It must be very good to make mats!"
This bamboo is much better than the one he used before, and it feels different to the touch!
"Ah Jing, what are you going to do..." Zhang Bo turned his head and was stunned.
Xiao Yijing has already picked up a piece of bamboo and started to handle it, her movements are crisp and quick.
Zhang Bo was dumbfounded, "You really know it?!"
This action doesn't look like it's never been done before!
