Seeing this bullet screen, everyone, including Lu Yu, heard the lyrics:
You're mighty and majestic, my man!
However, they were still quite interested in Lu Yu's plan.
Brother Lu, are you really going to trap Wildhorse?
Was it difficult to make a horse pole? I've seen it on TV before, it's so long
Will it be dangerous? I've seen wild horses in groups on TV…
Lu Yu sat down and answered as he picked up the wood.
"If it's dangerous, it will definitely be dangerous if you're not familiar with it. However, as long as you master the technique, it's relatively safe.”
Lu Yu patted the two pieces of wood on the ground and said,
"Because a complete horse pole is about twenty feet long, which is more than six meters, it is not convenient to carry it with you.
Therefore, I will disassemble this horse pole into three parts and use the mortise and tenon technique to make it. Then, I will bring the necessary tools and materials for joining. I will reassemble it when I reach the place.”
I understand, I understand! It was not good to be too long!
Although there was nothing wrong with this sentence, why did I feel that the person upstairs was GHH?
Stop, stop, there's no way out and you're still driving?？
Of course, Lu Yu wouldn't join them in making such a joke. He just lowered his head and patted the wood on the ground.
"To make a horse pole, there is not much demand for wood. In the last resort, poplar wood and white birch wood can be used to make a horse pole.”
"Willow wood is a common material, but because my target is the kind of very brave and fierce horse, willow wood is not in my choice. The material I picked today is the most suitable for making a horse pole. It's the most flexible ash wood. I chose the wood core that has been placed for a few years and has the best color to make it.”
This kind of old ash wood is quite valuable. I see others making furniture or something!
The streamer wants to use this as a horse-tying pole? Wouldn't it hurt if it broke?？
"There's nothing to be sad about. If it's broken, we can just make it again. There's still a lot of this ash wood in the warehouse at home.”
Lu Yu said.
Understood, big business.
We are not worthy…
"Because I'm going to make a three-section horse pole, I have to break this ash wood into three parts first.
The thicker and thicker part near the root was used as a handle. The middle section of the wood was the strongest and was also suitable for making the middle section of the horse pole.
As for the treetops, the core of the wood was relatively soft and flexible. Even if it was bent, it would not break easily. Therefore, this part was used as the tip of the pole.”
After saying that, Lu Yu did not dawdle any longer and directly began to cut the ash wood.
He didn't choose a slicing machine that could be powered up. Instead, he used a hand saw to draw lines and cut the wood bit by bit.
Although it was handmade, the speed was very fast.
As the saw blade continued to penetrate deeper, the beige wood chips scattered on the ground like willow catkins in spring.
About ten minutes later, the three pieces of wood were neatly cut.
From the cut surface, it looked very smooth, and there was no sign of a crooked saw.
It looked even better than those sawed by an electric cutter!
Lu Yu stood up the three pieces of wood. After examining them for a while, he picked up the handsaw again.
But this time, he sawed it vertically.
This ash wood was indeed of good quality. There were no dead wood knots inside, which made it very easy for Lu Yu to saw it.
Because he already had a plan in his mind, it went exceptionally smoothly.
Not long after, the three wooden cores were all cut. Lu Yu's wooden plane simply smoothened the surface of the three wooden cores, making them into three round, wooden stick-like shapes.
Everyone was curious about how Lu Yu was going to make mortise and tenon joints. Unexpectedly, Lu Yu did not continue to work on these few pieces of wood. Instead, he stood up, picked up a big red pot at the side, and walked to the backyard.
Wait, this big red basin looks familiar…
Wasn't this the big bathtub that he used to bathe in when he was young?？
What was the host doing? Calm down, we're not that kind of people!
Upstairs, if you don't like to watch, then go out. I want to see this little brother and handsome man come out of the bath!
A beautiful man coming out of the shower?
Lu Yuren, who accidentally saw the bullet screen, was a little confused.
What kind of way of thinking could jump from making a horse pole to a beautiful man coming out of the bath?
He flipped up a little more and realized that when everyone saw him take a big bathtub to the backyard to get water, they thought that he was hot from work and needed to take a shower.
"What are you guys thinking? How can I take a shower with a live broadcast? I don't want this live broadcast room anymore?"
Lu Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He raised the bathtub that was almost half filled with water with both hands and said as he walked to the front yard,
"It doesn't mean that you have to take a bath just because you use a bathtub. Even though I've already divided the wood used to make the horse pole into three parts, it's still very long. Ordinary basins can't hold it at all. Only this kind of long bathtub can.
The reason why I want to take this basin of water is because I want to soak the wood and increase its water content. This way, the wood will become more resilient and won't break easily when it's processed later.”
After hearing Lu Yu's explanation, everyone came to a realization.
However, there were also many female fans who felt that it was a pity.
After hearing this, some netizens started to think.
Streamer, I've heard from others that when nomads make horse poles, they use local materials. If they don't have such containers in the wild, how can they make the wood wet?
"That's a good question."
Lu Yu said while soaking Mu Xin in the basin,
"When the herdsmen make horse poles, they naturally won't be as particular as I am. They usually get materials from wherever they go.
If there were water bubbles in the wild, it was naturally the most convenient to soak the wood in water.
If there wasn't, it wouldn't be easy to deal with, but it wasn't like there was no solution.
The easiest way was to find some wet fresh cow dung and horse dung to cover the wood.
Fresh animal feces had a high water content. As long as one covered it for a while, it would soften and have a certain humidity and elasticity.”
Hearing the words " cow dung " and " horse dung ", everyone fell silent for a long time.
I feel like I can smell it. What's going on?
"Don't look down on this method. Compared to my method, which is very troublesome, that method is quite simple and convenient, and the effect is very good.”
After soaking the few pieces of wood in water, Lu Yu stood up.
The wood still had to be soaked for a while. At this time, there was nothing to do, so he could take out the cloth that was soaked yesterday to dry.
Lu Yu walked to the side of the courtyard and stopped in front of the big pot with a wooden lid.
Seeing Lu Yu's action, everyone was a little excited.
Have you finished dyeing the blue dyed cotton cloth from last night? Can you take it out to dry?
"Yes, I'm going to take them out to dry now.”
Lu Yu smiled and nodded. He reached out to lift the wooden board and fished out the fabric inside.
The wet cotton cloth had a very deep blue color, and it looked very beautiful, causing everyone to exclaim.
However, Lu Yu added,
"This color is not the final color. The color will only count after it has completely dried.”
He carried the cotton cloth to the backyard and hung it flat on the clothesline under the shade of the tree where the sun could not shine. After using a clamp to clip it, Lu Yu did the same thing and dried the remaining pieces of cotton cloth.
Not only that, but Lu Yu also thoughtfully wrote a few labels on the clips so that everyone could identify their "color number".
Although it was still wet, when the pieces of cotton cloth were placed together, one could already see the difference in color.
What if I think all five of them look good?？
I still like the mountain shade color that the streamer used to dye large pieces of cotton cloth. It's so positive and charming.
Moonrise was not bad either! Although it was slightly lighter, it seemed much livelier!
No matter how noisy everyone was, Lu Yu returned to the front yard with a smile.
After a while, the wood was almost soaked.
Horse poles were not particularly complicated in terms of craftsmanship. Ordinary nomads could make them. The only difference was whether they looked good or not.
After completing these relatively troublesome preparations, the following process was very simple.
He placed the wood on the carriage to make it have some curvature, then carved a tenon and mortise that fit perfectly at the connecting part, and finally made some carvings to complete the work.
As for the lasso in front, it was even simpler.
Previously, he had used the honey from his lair to exchange for a tanned, extremely flexible Tan Sheep skin from Aunt Yang Jin.
He cut the beach sheep skin into thin strips, weaved them into a round lasso, and tied them to the tip of the pole.
Everyone watched as Lu Yu's hands moved. Not long after, the few parts were completed.
Did you see it clearly?
No…why do I feel like it's going so fast?
The streamer's efficiency was really amazing…
Everyone sighed again.
However, they could not be blamed. Lu Yu had spent about two hours making this set of horse poles, and one and a half hours of it was used to process the wood.
The actual production time was only about half an hour. No wonder they thought it was fast.
Because he was quick at work, it was not even noon when he was done.
Lu Yu looked at his watch and thought for a moment before saying,
"There's no time like the present. Since the horse pole is ready, I'll set off in the afternoon.”
"But before I leave, I have to prepare some supplies.”
"Going out to get wild horses is different from taking you out to play. Wild horses are unpredictable. I don't know if I can find them in the places I used to see. If I can't, I might have to stay in the wild.”
"So, I need to prepare a tent, sleeping bag, and other necessities for survival in the wild.”
Hearing Lu Yu's words, everyone was in an uproar.
F * ck, is it that efficient? Leave just like that?
I'm convinced, I'm really convinced. However, Brother Lu Yu, which stallion have you taken a fancy to? I heard that there are many kinds of wild horses in the Kunlun Mountains.
"This…"
A confident smile appeared on Lu Yu's lips."
"Of course, I don't care about the bad ones. My target this time is the most valiant and notoriously difficult to capture Kunlun Wildhorse!”
