Section 384

When he came to a bamboo tree, Lu Yu swung his ax and chopped it.

After only three or two blows, the gap in the bamboo's body was considerable.

So, he changed the other side and continued.

Because the bamboo tube is hollow.

After the gap was created, the bamboo body quickly became vulnerable.

Only less than a circle was cut.

The bamboo joints as tall as a person began to sway.

Seeing this, Lu Yu raised his foot and kicked it off, then observed the quality and size of the bamboo.

After making sure it works, continue working.

Then, follow the method above.

After finding the trick, Lu Yu chopped off more than ten more branches in a row.

After working for more than an hour, it finally came to an end.

After cutting the bamboo, we rested in the forest for a short while.

It was already noon when the bamboos were transported back to the camp.

"These bamboos should be enough to build the roof frame. If we save a little, maybe there will be two left..."

"So, what I have to do now is to connect them with ropes and create the frame of the roof."

"Okay, without further ado, let's get started."

Set the bamboo aside.

Lu Yu roughly estimated the number of ropes that would be used, took hibiscus bark and some hemp grass, and kneaded more than ten ropes for use as backup.

After rubbing the rope.

He then took eight bamboo poles of similar length and thickness from the bamboo pile.

Arrange it into two rectangles the same size as the roof.

Secure with rope first.

Then use a stone ax to cut off the excess.

"The way to tie a fixed knot, the one I use most is the butterfly figure eight knot."

"This kind of knot is mostly used to connect materials. It is simple to operate and has good effects. Even a simple bark rope can still achieve the purpose of fixation."

Soon, after the two rectangular roof frames were erected, in order to facilitate the fixation of palm leaves and thatch, the frames needed to be filled with rungs.

The material of the rungs is not good or bad.

Whether it's bamboo or wood, it can do the job.

The only thing to note is that the spacing between rungs cannot be too short.

Otherwise, when the roofing material is filled in, gaps will appear in the blades and thatch and the coverage will not be adequate.

Because there were a lot of short timber left over from the previous construction of the hut frame.

Now, it comes in handy.

Two roofs.

Five on each side.

That's basically it.

So, after weighing the size and spacing, Lu Yu got busy again and fixed the rungs in the frame with knots in sequence.

At this point, the roof production has come to an end.

Next, just lay the woven palm leaves flat on top and cover it with thatch.

In front of the camera, put the two frames aside.

Lu Yu also sat down on the ground.

Picking up a palm leaf.

Split it in half at the long handle.

He only took half of the piece in his hand and demonstrated to the audience:

"Weaving a roof is actually very simple, at least much easier than straw sandals."

"You just need to knit it downwards according to the direction of the growth of the leaves. Just like this, press and pick one, interweave the longitude and latitude, and keep going back and forth..."

The things produced by this weaving technique are similar to straw mats.

Although it doesn't look that refined, it is still very neat and compact.

After knitting for a while, the shape began to appear.

Seeing this, Lu Yu showed off his masterpiece in front of the camera, which attracted bursts of applause.

Because all the skills were maxed out, this simple knitting work was not difficult for Lu Yu at all.

Half a leaf can be done in basically three to five minutes.

To say how difficult it is, it's really not that difficult.

The only annoying thing is that it takes too much energy.

Fortunately, he was not idle during the whole process.

Talk and do it at the same time.

Time flies by.

In a short while, the roofing materials needed for the two frames were almost ready.

"666!"

"sharp!"

"Damn it, I'm begging for the same style!"

"Feather God's craftsmanship is awesome!"

"Invincible, the little craftsman is online!"

"Obsessive-compulsive disorder benefits!"

"I'm going to be so cruel that I even give myself 10 energy drinks as a gift to the anchor! - It's really awesome. Give me two hands and I can't make it up..."

"The depth of the ink is hidden and given to the anchor Super Rocket x 10! - I know my brain but my hands don't know the series, 23333333"

"Liability is given to the anchor 666×999! - As a girl, I lower my head in shame..."

In the live broadcast room.

While the audience was having mixed reactions, Lu Yu had already fixed all the braided blades on the two roof frames.

The fixed method is still to use knots.

Just press one piece against the other to make sure there are no gaps.

Otherwise, even if it is covered with thatch, the rainproof effect will be greatly reduced.

So be careful in this step.

Then, carefully arrange all the leaves again.

Lu Yu straightened up, picked up a handful of thatch, and said to the camera:

"Then comes the final step of making the roof - thatching."

"If you want to make the hut strong and beautiful, just laying it out piecemeal will definitely not work. You must carry out necessary ligation, otherwise, everything will be messed up when the wind blows."

While speaking, Lu Yu started to move again.

He first spread the thatch neatly on the ground.

Then he took out a bark rope, snaked it through, and finally tightened it tightly.

The shape of the thatch looks similar to a grass skirt.

But in fact.

This tying method.

It is much stronger than a grass skirt.

Whether it is stability or flatness, it is very good.

If it is spread on the roof, it will not be washed away even if it encounters heavy rain.

Unless it encounters a hurricane.

…

According to this method, Lu Yu woven the thatch neatly.

And stacked it tightly on the two roofs.

In this way.

The roof of the hut is ready.

Then, he took out the triangular ladder again.

Came to the hut.

Put it in the designated position.

Then, carefully pick up a roof.

Put it on the roof.

And use ropes to fix it in three sections.

As for the other side, it is naturally the same.

After a while, less than half an hour.
