Chapter 196 gambling tree (seven)
"Strip the outer skin of the tree trunk here?" After hearing Zhao Hongtao's words, Amin was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, is there any problem?" Zhao Hongtao looked at A Ming with some surprise and said, "If you don't take out the heartwood inside, it's hard for me to take it down the mountain..."
"Then...well, here..."
A Ming smiled bitterly on his face. In fact, in the past, gambling trees usually bet on one or two trees. He would ask Abao to find a car to pull them down the mountain to gamble. This time, A Ming prepared a total of six yellow flower trees. It was too troublesome to pull them down the mountain, so he decided to let Zhao Hongtao and others come into the mountain to gamble.
But in this way, a problem arises, that is, saw the tree open. Amin can use a hand saw, which is at most a little effort. However, it is not that easy to peel off the bark and the white wood inside.
"Huh? Abao, what is Aming going to do?" After seeing him finishing his words, Aming turned around and went to the house in the front yard. Zhao Hongtao's eyes couldn't help but look at Abao. He was a little confused about what the medicine was selling in Aming's gourd.
"Amin is going to get the tools..." Abao also smiled bitterly. According to his and Amin's discussion, if someone bet on good materials this time, he would break them down and put them in the car and take them away.
But Abao didn't expect that Zhao Hongtao would actually bet on a whole piece of material that could make a crutch. His car would probably not be able to hold the trunk that was more than one meter long and forty or fifty centimeters thick.
"Hold tools? What tools? Don't have carpenter saws?"
Zhao Hongtao asked strangely. The woodworking saw he mentioned was a very simple tool. Find two wooden boards to fix an alloy gear in the middle, and then there is a motor drive below. It can be done for a hundred yuan. It is the best tool for cutting wood. Basically, carpenters have this one.
"Amin doesn't have any modern tools here..."
Abao was also a little helpless. He had already advised Amin to make some chainsaws and other things, but Amin was a little stubborn and was always unwilling to bring those modern logging tools into the mountains. So he was never willing to buy them.
"Then... you can't use this axe to break down the wood, right?" As he was speaking, Zhao Hongtao saw Ah Ming walking out with an axe in his right hand. There was a sharp mountain knife on his left hand. Zhao Hongtao was almost shocked to see him.
"Boss Zhao, we usually use this kind of tool. I will help you take out the heartwood..." Ah Ming felt a little regretful that he didn't listen to Abao. If there was an electric carpenter saw, just plug it in and you could break the wood out in less than a minute.
"Amin, what are you going to do?"
In the 1970s and 1980s, most people in the city got married and asked carpenters to make furniture. Zhao Hongtao naturally saw all the guys of carpenters, but he had never seen them breaking up wood with a hijab and an axe.
"Simple, it's good in a while..." Since the guest made a request, Amin must do it even if he bit the bullet.
Amin threw the axe and knife next to the wood, moved the wood more than one meter long to a chair, and then stepped on the chair to saw off the top of the tree trunk for about ten centimeters. In this way, the cross-section on the other side was revealed again.
"It's the material of the Tongxin. Boss Zhao is so lucky..."
Seeing the grid exposed on the cross section of the other end, Aming couldn't help but praise Zhao Hongtao. In such a performance, the grid inside is basically penetrated. As long as the branch is out of order, it will be a chance to make a precious and unusual crutch.
"Amin, don't hurt that branch..."
When Zhao Hongtao saw another cross-sectional expression, he was also happy. Even if the branches were not out of line, he used this Huanghuali of the same material as a handle. As long as the workmanship was more refined, ordinary people probably wouldn't see it.
"Don't worry. I'll be careful..." Amin placed the tree trunk more than one meter high vertically on the ground, asked Abao to hold it a little, then picked up the mountain knife and cut it down at the cross-section of the tree trunk with one knife.
"Oh, be careful..." Ah Ming's actions shocked Zhao Hongtao. What if this knife hit the grid?
Fortunately, Amin also knew the value of this tree. This knife was only cut at the edge of the cut surface, and was more than ten centimeters away from the heartwood in the middle. Seeing the machete sink into the wood, Amin picked up the axe again and used the blunt side to hit the thick back of the mount knife.
As the axe hit, the sharp blade of the trunk continued to penetrate into the wood. After smashing it for more than ten times, he finally successfully cut off a piece of wood with bark. However, after playing with the trunk, Amin realized that he had just been careful, but he had not cut even one-tenth of the trunk.
Although the temperature in the mountains is a little cooler than outside, cutting trees with an axe is a stamina. After more than a dozen knocks, Ah Ming's clothes were soaked in sweat, and his hair was hanging on his forehead in strands, looking a little embarrassed.
"Amin, why don't I go down the mountain and pull a carpenter saw on it now..."
Seeing Amin's appearance, Abao couldn't help it. Even if Amin had the strength to break down the trunk that was more than meter long, there was still a piece of tree trunk that was more than five meters long below. With Amin's speed, he would probably not finish it until midnight.
"Yes, yes, let Abao pull a carpenter saw..." As soon as Abao finished speaking, Zhao Hongtao quickly agreed. He was not trying to save Aming's energy, but he was afraid that Aming would not cut it with one knife and damage his Huanghuali.
"Abao, you've been back all the time, it's probably going to be dark, right?" Amin stopped and said, "How about I call a small truck and pull these things out of the mountain, so that it's faster..."
The Miao village where Aming is located is located in the deep foot of the mountains. It is relatively far away among all Miao villages. It takes about four hours to enter and exit. It is already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and it is indeed too late to go.
"Yes, why didn't I expect to call a taxi into the mountain?" Abao slapped his forehead and said, "It would be better to just ask someone to go to my shop and pull the saw into the mountain, so that they can come in two or three hours. Wait, I'll call first..."
"Well, Brother Bao, I... can I...I want to try to split the wood..." Just as Abao was about to dial, Fang Yi suddenly spoke.
"Split? This wood is newly dug out, and there is still some moisture inside. It can only be broken a little bit and cannot be chopped..."
Before Abao could answer Fang Yi's words, Amin denied it. What a joke, how much effort would it take to split a tree trunk that is more than one meter long? Not to mention that the trunk still has moisture.
"Or...let me try?"
Fang Yi didn't want to take action at first, but it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. After waiting for another three or four hours, it was probably midnight when they came out. Fang Yi was really not relieved to sit in the car and walk on such a mountain road in the middle of the night.
"You have to ask Boss Zhao this..." Ah Ming did not answer Fang Yi's words, but turned his eyes to Zhao Hongtao. His meaning was very obvious. As long as the owner of the tree agreed, he naturally had no objection.
"Brother Zhao, let me try it. We can go down the mountain after finishing it..." As Fang Yi spoke, his eyes looked at the last two remaining trees with a very obscure look.
In addition to going down the mountain early, there is another reason why Fang Yi wanted to take action, that is, when he was bored, he observed the two shorter-year yellow rosewood trees with his spiritual sense, and found that one of them actually contained fluctuations of spiritual power, and the degree of fluctuation seemed to be no less than the one that Zhao Hongtao won by bet.
So Fang Yi also wanted to solve Zhao Hongtao's problem quickly, and then see if there is any chance to take the last two short-year trees into their pockets. Anyway, the prices of the two trees are relatively low. As long as the grid inside is not a chopstick grid, Fang Yi will not lose money.
