Chapter 139 Oil Paper Umbrella
Lu Ma glanced at them in disgust and looked at Chen Mange with a kind look: "Xiao Man, what cake do you like? Two or three layers? Want roses or peonies? I think the cake of flowers blooming and wealth is pretty good. You can also draw two big birds for you with cream!"
Zou Kai, who was standing beside him, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and his shoulders were shaking.
"What big bird, that's a phoenix." Dad Lu muttered.
"Don't!" Lu Zi'an's scalp was numb when he heard this and said quickly: "Mom, you don't have to worry about cakes. I'll do all these things. I'll do you like cats. Oh, I really won't bother you."
"...You little brat." Lu Ma glared at him angrily and stopped talking.
Qu Duoduo's eyes shined: "Oh, Manman, your birthday next week, why don't you tell us, your 18th birthday, it's so rare! You must celebrate it well! Oh, by the way."
She looked at Zou Kai and Lu Zi'an seriously, and stared at Lu Zi'an very seriously: "You both have to give gifts. This is a coming-of-age gift, so you must not fool around!!"
Lu Zian nodded: "This is natural."
Chen Mange buried his head in pain while complaining: Actually, Brother Zi'an gave her herself, she didn't mind...
After dinner, Lu Ma and the others went to wash the dishes again. Chen Mange secretly asked Lu Zi'an: "Hey, Brother Zi'an, what does it mean to bloom and be rich? It sounds quite interesting."
Lu Zian glanced at the kitchen and lowered his voice, "Don't listen to my mom. She ordered a rose cake that I loved you for ten thousand years with someone. Oh my go, that's so vulgar. The butter-painted flowers all over the surface of the cake, but red and green! I can't even talk - she has been thinking about the cake that blooms with rich flowers, which is even more oily. Her aesthetic is different from ordinary people, so no matter what she says, you must stick to your position!"
"Oh, that's right..." Chen Mange nodded thoughtfully and looked at him hesitantly: "Hey, what cake did you just say she ordered? The very vulgar one?"
"Love you for ten thousand years." Lu Zian felt something was wrong after he finished speaking, so he quickly remedyed: "That..."
Chen Mange was happy, but he pretended to be nothing on his face and said, "Oh, it turns out to be this name."
When she heard what she wanted to hear, she didn't want to listen to Lu Zi'an's additions, and she went on the TV leisurely.
Lu Zian is just a straight man, but he is not stupid. This little girl thinks she is resourceful, but how could he not realize that she is flirting with her?
He couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that Manman has read another new method of flirting with men and is practicing with him?
Such seeds were planted in his heart. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that Chen Mange's every move was very suspicious.
No, it seems that I have to talk to this little girl about this matter another day, and also talk about her fiancée together!
But of course, the puppet is still important now. Lu Zi'an got up and went into the study, and the embroiderers were burying their heads at the table to straighten out their hair.
Seeing him come in, Zhang Fengniang quickly stood up and said in a little entangled manner: "Master Lu, this, nothing else is wrong, it's a little troublesome... Our embroidery thread is too slippery and can't stick, so it may take a little more time to embroider them on the head cover..."
Lu Zian waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, don't worry, you guys do it slowly, do you need help?"
"Ah no, we can get it done together, it won't take long to do it."
Lu Zian nodded, glanced at the screen, and found that most of the barrage were said to be bored and wanted to see his carvings.
He thought about it, walked around the house for a while, and asked him to find some nanmu bamboo. This was the same time when he came back from Donglin City that he wanted to learn bamboo weaving and asked someone to find it. He had been put on the shelf and never used it.
He moved another table over, and he asked Zhang Fengniang and the others to move to the table and sat down in front of the camera.
【Ah, Master is here! Happy!】
[Master, please carve things! You can carve anything casually! Look at how boring they embroider things!]
[Master, a video appeared on the Internet and the sound of your voice is very similar! Is it you?]
【Ah, I also saw it, German orthopedics!】
What the hell is this? Lu Zian frowned: "I don't know what orthopedics are. I'm going to make an oil paper umbrella. Yes, it's props. After all, it's "The Legend of White Snake". How can I do without an oil paper umbrella?"
He picked up the nanmu and tapped it gently: "This is nanmu. nanmu is the fastest growing and best-made bamboo species in the bamboo family. It only takes about 59 days to restore a 60-foot nanmu and can withstand the huge sales volume of oil paper umbrellas. At the same time, nanmu is tough and elastic, so the batches and linings required to process into umbrella bones are very suitable."
[Bit? Liner? What is that?]
When Lu Zian saw this question, he was convinced: "In layman's terms, it's just an umbrella, all bamboo strips, but that's what he said in the industry."
As he spoke, the knife in his hand quickly and steadily divided a bamboo tube into seventy bamboo pieces.
"Of course, normal oil paper umbrellas have many processes, such as if they need to be soaked in wood. My umbrella will not be wet in the rain anyway, so I just make it look good and don't do so many processes." Lu Zian used a slight effort and drew two lines to each bamboo batch.
[Wow, these bamboo strips are so thin!]
【Obsessive-compulsive disorder means very cured!】
Lu Zi'an passed these bamboo strips through groove processing, and the length of the lining is about half of the length of the batch.
Jumping, that is, after opening the umbrella, holds against the small mechanism that prevents the umbrella from closing. This is the smallest component in the oil-paper umbrella, used to support the weight of almost the entire umbrella bone and the umbrella surface. It uses the simplest mechanical principle, relying on the toughness of the bamboo itself to rebound with the force.
After Lu Zian prepared all the skeleton materials, polished them smoothly, and gently bounced his fingertips on the bamboo strips: "Okay, we need to assemble them next."
"A normal oil-paper umbrella requires twenty-eight batches. This is to achieve uniform stress on the entire umbrella surface and it conforms to the principle of mechanics. However, the umbrella I made is small, so it is enough to make twenty." He wrapped the long thread on the large roller onto the small roller and did it very carefully: "This process is called the thread."
【Ah I know that parachutes were invented based on the principle of umbrellas.】
[I understand the truth, but why do you have to mess with me so much?]
When Lu Zi'an wrapped the thread for the clerk, he did not only wrap it with one thread, but had to wrap it with more than five threads. After wrapping the thread, he saw this barrage and smiled and said, "This is to fix the spacing between the clerks, and also prepare for the umbrella behind it."
After wrapping the thread, the basic prototype of an umbrella has been completed.
Lu Zian installed the jumper, because he didn't have to consider load-bearing and rain protection, so many steps were omitted. He pushed it, and the umbrella frame was able to hold the switch.
He raised his eyebrows and played with it: "Okay, I'll cut the paper and paste the umbrella next."
