Chapter 316: What a complicated process! (2 more please customize)

"Wu, how to make an umbrella? And what does an umbrella look like?"Gu Mu asked curiously

"Just look at this piece of paper and you will know."Su Bai handed over the wolf's tail paper in his hand.

Gu Mu took the paper and began to browse. The more he read, the more shocked he became. His already bright eyes became even brighter.

His hands were shaking a little, shocked. Said:"Witch, where did this come from? Did the old witch leave it to you?"

The appearance and frame of the umbrella shocked him very much. It is really a good creation, no, it should be said to be a creation of God. The appearance and the slope of the top of the umbrella are perfect, and the rainwater can follow the slope when it falls. Slide down, so that it won't be crowded at the top and become too heavy.

The handle of the umbrella is also very convenient. You can hold it with one hand, and you can do other things with the other hand.

The umbrella looks like it can be made The size can be made according to different users.

It can be said that this umbrella is perfect, hundreds of times better than using leaves, right?

And with such a good thing, the first thing Gu Mu thought of was the old witch. After all, this thing is too perfect.

Although the new wizard is also very good, he is very young after all, and his ideas are definitely not as good as the old wizard. Anyway, this is what Gu Mu thinks

"No, I drew this myself."Su Bai Tanshou said, the expression on his face looked very relaxed.

It seemed that this thing was very simple, just two strokes of sketch and it came out. It was not as mysterious as the other party said.

Gu Mu was shocked again, He couldn't believe his ears, and he clenched the paper tightly with his hands.

Seeing the relaxed look on Wu's face, he was really amazed. He felt that this thing was not worth mentioning to Wu.

Gu Mu He swallowed his saliva and asked:"Witch, how did you come up with this good thing? Umbrellas are really good tools"

"I have used it frequently before, so it is not difficult at all to draw it."Wubai said easily

"I see."Gu Mu nodded. It seems that this umbrella really comes from a big tribe, otherwise it wouldn't be so well designed.

"The most important thing in making an umbrella is the choice of materials, and hollow tree and slippery lizard skin are the best materials."Su Bai said simply.

Gu Mu stood up straight and said seriously:"Witch, please teach me how to make an umbrella."

He can't wait now. Such a good thing must be made by himself.

"Well, the production process of umbrellas is very tedious and relies on manual work. As the saying goes: there are seventy-two and a half steps in the process, and it is not easy to move in and out."Su Bai said seriously.

He drew the oil-paper umbrella on the drawing. It is not practical to make modern umbrellas like the earth in this era. On the contrary, oil-paper umbrellas can be made by hand, and they look good.

"Seventy-two and a half? Dishonesty counts?"Gu Mu is confused. He doesn't understand these things.

"The first step in making an umbrella is to choose the material for the frame, and hollow tree is just the right material."Su Bai took the lead in picking up a piece of hollow tree

"yes."Gu Mu listened very seriously, with no ambiguity in his expression.

Su Bai held the hollow tree in his hand and continued:"The second step is to make the skeleton. You also need to cut the umbrella ribs, soak them in water, dry them in the sun, etc. technical processing"

"Does making an umbrella require so many steps?"Gu Mu said in surprise

"Not only that, the umbrella ribs also need to be drilled, assembled, threaded, and the umbrella handles and heads connected in series to form the skeleton, which is a very complicated process. Su Bai added.

Making an umbrella is not a simple task. The various processes alone are enough to give people a headache.

The most important step in making an umbrella is the second step. This step is the most complicated and tedious. One step.

Of course, this step is also the key to whether the umbrella can be made successfully, so this step must not be sloppy.

Gu Mu was a little confused, but he still tried his best to remember these steps, although most of the vocabulary in it was the first He heard about it for the first time.

He hesitated and asked:"Witch, are the steps for making umbrellas over?"

"Not yet. The third step is to make the umbrella surface. The cut lizard skin needs to be fixed on the frame. After that, it needs to be trimmed, shaped and exposed. In this way, an umbrella is ready."Su Bai explained.

In fact, the oil-paper umbrella is not limited to these, but also painting and oiling, that is, painting on the umbrella surface to draw some beautiful patterns.

There is also a layer of cooked oil on the umbrella surface. Tung oil, this will make it very waterproof.

But this is a paper umbrella, and umbrellas made of animal skin will not be like this. The skin of the slippery lizard itself is waterproof.

Su Bai didn't think about it at first. Paper was used to make oil-paper umbrellas, but unfortunately the toughness of pennisetum paper was not that strong.

Moreover, in this era, there was no mature tung oil that could be used for oiling. It would be easier to use animal skins directly.

"Wu, it sounds like there are a lot of processes. There shouldn't be any way to do it all at once, right?"Gu Mu asked

"It will be a little difficult to do at first, but it won't be difficult once you get used to this step."Su Bai said

"What do we do now? Gu Mu asked curiously, already a little impatient to give it a try.

"First chop the hollow tree into strips so that you can make a skeleton."Su Bai ordered

"clear."Gu Mu immediately picked up the bone knife and started to split the hollow tree.

"crackling......"

After a few operations, the umbrella ribs of the same thickness and size were chopped out.

Su Bai raised his eyebrows slightly. Unexpectedly, before he said anything, the other party chopped the umbrella ribs to the right thickness.

As expected of an experienced carpenter, he can produce suitable materials after taking a look at the design drawings and a rough explanation.

Gu Mu held the chopped hollow tree and asked,"Witch, is it okay to use an umbrella rib of this size?"

"It's very qualified. I'll chop some more and prepare them, and then I'll start drilling."Su Bai ordered

"good. Gu Mu nodded, continued to pick up the bone knife and started chopping the hollow tree.

Su Bai picked up a chopped hollow tree, and drilled holes in the umbrella ribs according to the memory in his mind.

Of course, the hole was drilled. One section is a separate piece of hollow tree pole, and a hole must be evenly rotated at the end.

Only in this way can the umbrella ribs be inserted on it and present a spread out state.

And this piece of hollow tree pole is It is used for piston movement, because the opening and closing of the umbrella depends on it.

After the umbrella ribs are inserted on it, it presents a shape similar to a funnel, which looks very dense..........................................
