Naturally, the students did not believe what Ren Yan said.
Can you build a house with just a handful of branches and a pile of weeds?
Who are you trying to fool?
Can something like this be called a house?
Can it be strong?!
Can people live here?!
Listening to the students' sincere doubts, Ren Yan touched his chin and nodded:
"emmmm"
"To be precise, it can't really be called a house for now. It's just a straw hut at best..."
"But even if it's a straw hut, it's much more comfortable than your tent."
Ren Yan explained it again, but the students still didn't believe it.
Thatched huts, isn’t this where the poor people in the past lived?
It leaks wind in winter and rain in summer.
There’s no way this thing could be as comfortable as a tent.
In response to this, Ren Yan did not explain again, but started to do it directly.
The students watched with a hint of doubt and curiosity.
......
Ren Yan’s approach is very simple.
First, a pointed outline was built on the open ground with branches.
Then use some softer branches to start making circles along this outline layer by layer.
It did not stop until it had built the outline of the spire into a tower-like endoskeleton.
However, unlike the skeleton of the tower, Ren Yan also left two holes on the way of putting the ring on, the upper one is smaller and the lower one is larger.
Ren Yan pointed to the two holes and said to the students, "The upper one is mainly used as a window."
"And the one below is the door."
"As for the method of leaving two holes in the ring, you should have seen it before."
"You can just use vines to bind it, but this method doesn't look very beautiful."
"If you want it to be more beautiful, you can choose the mortise and tenon structure."
"This structure is a method that we often used in ancient Dragon Country. The principle is to achieve the purpose of mosaic through clever wooden structures."
"Some of these methods are also known as Luban locks. They are a reflection of the wisdom of our people and a traditional skill that has been passed down for thousands of years."
"As for the method of making it..."
As he said that, Ren Yan suddenly pulled out a book from his waist and threw it directly at the students of Class 9.
“You can read this book.”
The students were startled and subconsciously took the book. Looking at the name on the cover, they asked in confusion:
"Detailed Explanation of the Mortise and Tenon Structure of the Dragon Kingdom?"
Then I opened the book out of curiosity.
What catches the eye are the various exquisite wooden structures and the principles and methods of their implementation.
After taking a look at it, some students thought the book was quite interesting.
At least what is said above really has a unique beauty.
After flipping through two pages, they suddenly felt something was wrong...
Aren’t we learning how to build a house?!
Why did I suddenly start reading again?
"Teacher Ren, you are mixing in your own private information!"
The students raised their heads and looked at Ren Yan belatedly:
"Can you give me some test scores?"
Ren Yan touched his head uncomfortably and coughed twice: "Ahem, professional habits, professional habits..."
After saying that, he continued to compete with the straw shed without blushing or beating his heart.
"So after the general framework is completed..."
“It’s time to fill it up.”
"That's when we need to use these weeds."
As he spoke, Ren Yan picked up a handful of dry weeds again, and the students in Class 9 also put the book "Detailed Explanation of Dragon Country Mortise and Tenon Structure" aside with a sigh.
I will read this book later. Now it is more important to see how Teacher Ren manages the straw hut.
"Remember, when filling weeds, you need at least two layers, and the inner layer must be filled with dry weeds, which is mainly to prevent mosquitoes."
"If you really choose to use green grass for the inner layer, then you can expect to be bitten to death in the dark night."
As he spoke, Ren Yan began to cover the weeds.
He was not fast, and he did each step as slowly and as detailed as possible.
The purpose is to let students know how these weeds are covered.
Weeds are not like canvas, you can just cover them up and be done with it.
It needs to be tied into a bunch in advance, and then slowly piled on the previously put-on wooden ring in an overlapping manner.
Because the intervals between the wooden circles are not very wide, the bundled weeds can be placed securely on them.
Then use fibrous plants such as vines to pass through the weed clusters inside and out, inside and outside, so that they are tightly connected to the wooden circle and the surrounding weeds.
In order to achieve better fixing effect, Ren Yan used three vines, upper, middle and lower, to fix each row of weeds.
As for the empty space originally left, it was reserved directly.
After this set of processes was completed, the previous tower-shaped wooden frame had completely changed its appearance and looked somewhat like a weedy house.
Not only is it quite beautiful, but it also seems to occupy a large area. It can indeed be considered a good building to shelter from wind and rain.
Looking at this thatched hut, the students couldn't help but be a little dazed.
I feel eager to try it.
This thing does look more fun than a tent.
That’s right, until now students still think that building straw huts is more fun than useful.
In fact, this is true.
After all, the straw hut now can only be considered a semi-finished product.
"Don't panic, this isn't over yet."
Ren Yan pressed his hand, signaling the students not to worry.
