689. Make a bed (happy fathers)
ps: The title ‘Happy birthday, fathers’ refers to those who are fathers among book friends. Don’t over-interpret it!
Ao Muyang really has something to do, so he wants to make a bed for Lu Zhizi.
The fishermen in Hongyang have had a tradition of preparing new utensils for their new daughter-in-law since ancient times. The ones who pay attention to building a new house, while those who have no money are preparing to put on new bedding, new washbasins, and new towels.
Regardless of whether they have money or not, most families have to prepare a new bed.
Ao Muyang didn't know much about the specific traditions in this regard, so he went to find Ao Zhiman. The old man was an old craftsman and he knew a lot about this.
He came to the door with pork head, beef sauce and two roasted chickens. The old man smiled and said, "Captain, what are you doing? If you have anything to ask my old man to help you, you'll be fine, and you're still carrying something?"
Ao Muyang yelled and said, "No, there is nothing to ask you to help, I'm just here to visit."
It is better for ordinary people to be happy when they hear him say this, but the old man is not an ordinary person. Ao Muyang's polite words did not know where he offended him. He suddenly restrained his smile and asked vigilantly: "Come and visit me?"
Ao Muyang said helplessly: "Okay, to be honest, Master Man, I want to come and ask you about bedding. I want to trouble you to make a bed for my wife."
After hearing that he came to trouble himself, the old man laughed again: "Ah, are you going to tie the knot with Teacher Lu?"
Ao Muyang smiled and said, "It's almost the same, but I'm not married yet, I want to have a bed first."
The old man nodded repeatedly: "That is a must, so we have to make a bed first. It is not easy for our fisherman to make a new bed, so we have to prepare in advance."
He moved out the stool, Ao Muyang opened a packet of roasted pork and said, "Come on, Master Man, let's have a meal and chat?"
The old man said happily: "Okay, Jin Fu, go and take out the wine bottle under my bed, and I will have two cups of it with your brother Yang."
Speaking of this, his face was a little embarrassed: "Miss Minister, I don't have good wine at home, so just drink some wine together?"
Ao Muyang waved his hand and said, "Master Man, you are so kind. Scattered wine is all food wine, good things."
After drinking it, he regretted it. This is a nonsense grain wine, which is definitely mixed with alcohol, spicy and has no fragrance.
The old man didn't pick on it. After taking a sip of wine, he said, "Village Chief, with your strength, this newcomer's bed must be made, right?"
Ao Muyang blinked and said, "Do you make one? I remember my family made one?"
In fact, the tradition of making newbies' beds has gradually faded. Most people buy a bed. For example, Ao Wenchang got married and went to the city to buy a bed.
The old man said, "Well, your family made one, but I did it. Your family is a drying bed."
Drying beds are the most common rack beds in fishing houses. The word "dry" in the name refers to the meaning of ventilation and ventilation, and is sometimes called a cool bed.
This type of bed is common and has a variety of specifications. It is divided into three bends, five bends, seven bends, even eight bends, nine bends, etc. according to the simplified and traditional Chinese production and decoration.
Ao Muyang's house has a seven-curve bed, which is larger in size and a double bed. The three-curve bed is mostly a single bed for young people, and the five-curve bed is also a single bed, which is generally an ancient lady bed.
Because Ao Muyang has received modern science education since childhood, like most young people, he knows more about science, education, culture and health, and less about the old traditions in his hometown.
He told his questions, but he still didn't understand the difference between three, five, and seven-bend beds.
The old man swallowed a piece of pseudo-beef tripe and smiled and said, "Wait, I have a model at home, take it out and show it to you."
He shouted, and the young man Ao Jinfu dragged out a box.
This wooden box was obviously handmade by himself, a bit like a suitcase with wheels, but it was placed flat on the ground, whimpering, and driving forward, backward, left and right.
Ao Muyang was very curious and looked at the wheels on the box. He found that the wheels were clever, hardwood balls, their bodies were embedded at the bottom of the box and rolled smoothly in any direction.
This hand made him admire him very much, and he stretched out his thumb and said, "Master Man, master, this kind of box is rare on the market now."
Ao Zhiman smiled unanimously and said, "What's this?"
He opened the box and model beds appeared inside. He picked it up and pointed it to Ao Muyang, and said, "There is a hanging noodles in front of this bed. The bend refers to the number of curved lines on the bed's hanging surface. There are a flower panel in the middle of the two lines. The more curves, the more complicated the process."
Ao Muyang understood, his eyes were attracted by a small wooden house and said, "Oh, Mr. Man, do you still have a wooden house?"
Ao Zhiman picked up the cabin and smiled, with a very emotional smile: "Oh, you have never seen the young people of your generation, and it is rare now. What kind of cabin is this? This is a bed!"
Hearing him say this, a noun suddenly appeared in Ao Muyang's mind and said in surprise: "Is this the legendary big sleeping bed?"
Damian Bed. Ao Muyang’s understanding of this bed was obtained through some books, which often introduce ancient landlord stories, saying that the ladies of the landlords would sleep in Damian Bed.
Although the name is "bed", the Damian Bed can be said to be a small house. Its overall layout is in the front hall and the back room. It is mainly divided into two rooms. The front room looks like a small house, with a roof cover on the top, a stepping on the bottom, a corridor in the front, and a screen on all sides.
When you reach the middle of the bed, there will be a bed door that can be up and down, with bathrooms and dressing tables on both sides, and a small hall in front of it, with a wardrobe, tea table, etc., which is extremely luxurious!
Ao Muyang looked at the model carefully and it was like that. The model was very realistic. The bed door could be opened, the dressing table could be moved, and the toilet was just a small wooden pass, which could even be taken out to clean.
Listening to his heartfelt amazement, the old man Ao Zhiman showed a smug look on his thin face: "The craft handed down by our ancestors has been hundreds of years, can that be bad?"
He picked up another bed and said, "There is also a fire cabinet bed. If you want to make one, it is a drying bed, a big sleeping bed, a fire cabinet bed and a hundred-year-old bed. However, the fire cabinet bed should not be used."
Compared with the drying bed and the big sleeping bed, the fire cabinet bed is ugly. It is like a wooden cabinet. The edge of the bed is higher than the bed board. The bed board can be moved and opened. The space under the board can be placed in firewood and ash for heating in winter.
Ao Muyang smiled and said, "Isn't this just a kang?"
The old man nodded and said, "It's almost the same. It's just to use charcoal fire to keep warm to resist the cold and humid winters of the island."
Ao Muyang has never seen Damian Bed Ao Muyang, but he has seen the fire cabinet bed. This kind of bed is very simple, without any modification, heavy, simple, and most common in the war years. The cabinet is not used to store wood ash and charcoal fire, but valuable things in the collector, similar to safes.
Compared with the exquisite large beds around, the fire cabinet bed is a simple bedding, usually without any additional modification, with a heavy and simple shape.
