In order to subsidize the family, no matter whether the farm is busy or not, grandpa always takes out all kinds of odds and ends or takes out a whole period of time to do "kicking" to subsidize the family.
Grandpa is a famous artist in his hometown. He studied and improved the process himself, which greatly improved the efficiency and quality. The following is my brother-in-law's personal experience, recording the process of grandpa's birth.
1. Paper-cutting, using waste book paper or kraft paper as raw material, and then cutting the paper into strips of about 15 cm with a paper cutter for later use.
2. Wipe the gun barrel, put the cut paper roll on a special iron core with moderate thickness, and then hold the iron core and paper in your left hand and put it under a plank called Qianjin. Bow your front legs and push your back legs, and hold the handle on the board with your right hand and push forward hard. Then hold the rolled barrel by hand and touch it. Hold the barrel with your hands and squat down hard, and the barrel will come down from the iron!
3. Stir-fry clay particles, find the best red clay to dry, break it, sieve it into rice grains, fry it in a pot to prevent it from getting wet, and seal it for later use!
4. Tamp the knot, put the gun pier (this is an iron pier with a vertical rod in the middle, as thick as the barrel, 6 cm high, with a vertical hole in the middle for radiation) on the gun pier, scoop up a spoonful of mud particles, then punch a hole in the middle with an iron, put the gun barrel in, put the gun line in the eye in the middle of the iron, and knock it three times with a hammer.
5. Load the bottom section with gunpowder, bundle the barrels into a bundle of 100 with special tools, and then fill the gunpowder with a self-made tool for loading five guns at a time.
6. Bottom shifting is to block the paper in the gun bore with an awl to raise the two rings. The level of the two rings depends on whether it is fried or not!
7. Load the explosive, and use the explosive loading tool to load five pieces at a time. Set aside!
8. Detonator, put the gun with the last explosive in a whole bundle, then fill the excess mortar particles on the explosive with special tools and tamp it with iron bars!
9. Plant the gun line. Use an awl and gun line with moderate thickness. Take the gun in your left hand and the awl in your right hand. Take a look at the bottom of the gun for 3 cm and put the gun line in.
10. Wrap the colored paper. In order to make the two rings more beautiful, cut the colored paper into the right size and stick it around the barrel, which will be beautiful!
1 1. Make the spear head. In order to make the gun more beautiful, the extra paper is tied to the top of the two rings with a string and then made with a knife. It looks beautiful and elegant!
12. Bundle into a bundle 100 pieces. It is also the last process. Put the sorted guns into an iron rack, put the rope into the rack in advance, put the guns into the rack after the regulations are made, that is, 100 guns, and then tie them up and put them away!
The whole process of making two cannons requires 12 processes! ! !
It contains the wisdom and sweat of several generations of Li family. ...
PS involves the manufacturing process of gunpowder. First, it's a long time and I can't remember clearly. Second, I am worried about being informed by people with ulterior motives and causing trouble to the society.
