Everyone in the yard burst into laughter. Xiuhong laughed twice before scolding Zhou Lie: "You evil man, please stop bullying my dog. I'll tell Zhang Liang about it."
The Eagle Claw team is a fixed group of twenty people, and the twenty people are divided into small groups of four people each.
Zhang Liang is Zhou Lie's team leader.
Zhou Lie untied the bamboo with a smile and said, "The troop will not approve of this personal revenge, right, Gou Wa?"
Gou Wa glared at Zhou Lie and didn't dare to come over. He still remembered that this man had spanked his buttocks and it hurt so much.
After chatting and joking for a while, Zhou Lie started to get down to business.
He took out a machete and chopped a bamboo into pieces of equal size.
Then pick up the tools to break the bamboo tube and split it into strips.
He held the tool in his left hand and the bamboo in his right hand. The bamboo was like tofu in his hand. It was a whole piece when it went in, but it was divided into more than ten pieces when it came out.
After the bamboo tube is broken into more than ten pieces, four layers of bamboo strips are split from the bamboo strips that are only 1 cm thick, and then further split into strips as thin as noodles.
Zhou Lie flipped the bamboo quickly in his hands, and the bamboo looked like it was blooming. Gou Wa ran over curiously to look at it, and after looking at it, he sat down on the bluestone slab again.
Nearly twenty bamboos were turned into a pile of strips, some wide and some narrow.
The wide and thick ones are used to weave bamboo baskets, while the narrow and thin ones are used to weave bamboo baskets, bamboo sieves, bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, and small baskets used in the kitchen.
Xiaomei has also processed the herbs and spread them out on the bluestone slabs to dry.
Gou Wa saw this and followed behind to help turn the herbs.
Zhou Lie asked Lin Qingqing what she wanted to weave and the size, and then started weaving.
He moved a small stool and sat under the bluestone slab, placed the bamboo strips in front of him, and covered himself with tattered clothes wrapped in bamboo. Soon, the base of a bamboo basket was formed.
Honghua and Xiuhong watched under the pergola and kept praising Zhou Lie for his ability.
Honghua: "Look at how densely woven that bamboo basket is. This kind is the strongest and most durable. We also ask Zhou Lie to weave the baskets we use at home."
Xiuhong: "Zhou Lie knows a lot of things. I've never seen him not know something. Don't you think he is a city boy? He learned all these in the army."
Zhou Lie kept his hands busy, raised his head and smiled, "I feel embarrassed because of your praise, sister-in-law. I learned this when I was on a mission. We have to play so many roles when we are on a mission, we have to be really good at it to avoid suspicion."
Xiaomei listened with curiosity in her eyes.
At around 5pm, Zhou Lie had woven nearly ten things: a large bamboo basket, a small bamboo basket, four baskets, a large bamboo basket, a bamboo sieve, and a bamboo basket.
Xiuhong and Honghua went out at around four o'clock because they still had some things to do at home.
In the yard, the bluestone slabs were covered with bamboo products. Xiaomei looked at them one by one and praised Zhou Lie's craftsmanship.
Xiaomei: "Zhou Lie, your basket weaving is so good. When you retire from the army, you will be able to sell bamboo baskets."
Zhou Lie was really at the dilemma. Putting aside his military status, he was an educated man who could speak four languages, had high IQ and EQ, and was good at martial arts. No matter how poor he was, he would never become a bamboo basket seller.
Lin Qingqing tried to smooth things over: "Xiaomei, is there any meat at home? Let's cook two more dishes for dinner. Zhou Lie will have dinner at our house tonight."
Zhou Lie has always been carefree. He felt embarrassed when he heard that someone wanted to invite him to dinner. He felt that he had not done anything wrong.
"No need, sister-in-law, I'll give this to the troops after I finish it."
With the last bit of material left, he made two more thermos covers.
Lin Qingqing smiled: "It's already this late, why are you still in the army eating? Your team leader will be here soon, so don't leave."
After saying that, he winked at Xiaomei, and Xiaomei went to the kitchen to cook.
Zhou Lie didn't say anything else.
