C13 Fan Making

The venison emitted a pleasant fragrance. Su Xinyue held the venison in her hand and put it on the tip of her nose to sniff it. It was really too fragrant!

She carefully held the deer bamboos and walked out of her grandfather's bedroom. She gently closed the door.

She quickly walked to the side room in the front yard, where all the fan tools were placed. She had to use these tools with ease in such a short period of time. Only then could this fan be made into a folding fan with a soul. It was a fan that contained the heart and blood of the person who made it. This was what Uncle Liu wanted her to do. If she didn't have this heart, then. . . She didn't deserve to touch this sacred skill.

Su Xinyue wrapped these fan bones with paper and placed them on the square table. She went to the main room to get the fan making information that she had already researched. She found all the materials that she needed, so that she wouldn't be like a headless fly that couldn't find the key points.

Since no one was looking for trouble with her for the time being, she had to make good use of the last bit of time she had left to make that Jinling folding fan. Inviting Uncle Liu back was her only hope, so she could only succeed this time.

She called her father, Su Yongan, and told him that she had found Mei Luzhu. Her father told her over the phone, "There are only a few of the Plum Deer Bamboo left. You must not touch them casually. If it breaks. . . Even if you break them, you won't be able to replenish them. " There was a hint of worry in his tone. "Don't worry, I won't act rashly. I need to see how I'm going to do it next. I'll only act when you come over and make sure there's no problem. I'm afraid, too. Don't let anything happen to such a precious bamboo material. " Su Xinyue simply couldn't let go of it.

She gently opened the extremely tough Xuan paper, took out a piece of Plum Deer Bamboo, and placed it in front of her eyes to take a closer look. The length and width of these bamboo pieces were all the same. It seemed that they had already been processed. Due to some special reasons, this fan, which should have been extremely elegant, had not appeared in the world. His grandfather had carefully preserved them. His grandfather would probably take them out every once in a while to take a look at them. That was why these bamboo sheets were so well-preserved.

She guessed that the paper wrapping the bamboo sheets was ancient Xuan paper, which could be used to prevent moisture. These bamboo sheets had already been cut, washed, boiled, and more than ten other procedures. After they were cooked, the skin was removed, and they were placed on wooden shelves to be ventilated. They would be exposed under the sun for a period of time, and it would take at least two years before they could be used to process fan bones.

This fan bone, which was condensed from the blood and sweat of a generation, was the concentration of the fan industry. She gently touched the bamboo slice. The unique wind bone of the Plum Deer Bamboo appeared in front of her. She had an indescribable feeling. It was a feeling of regret that they had met later. From the moment she saw the Plum Deer Bamboo slice, her heart was deeply shaken. These bamboo slices had a soul. When she touched it with her hand, A warm feeling came from her fingertip, making her feel indescribably comfortable. The frustration she had felt over the past few days was instantly filled with the power to move forward.

Su Yongan rushed over in the afternoon, and he was also very concerned about this matter. He ran straight to the side room in the front yard. Su Xinyue was immersed in all the thoughts that the Plum Deer Bamboo had given her. When she saw her father arrive, there was a trace of joy on her face. "Dad, You came at the right time. Quick, help me see what I should do next. This bamboo material is too precious. I'm very afraid. I'm afraid that something will go wrong. "

" Yue Er, don't be afraid. I believe that you have always been meticulous when doing things, and this time is no exception. " As Su Yong'an spoke, he gently picked up the Plum Deer Bamboo Pieces. These Plum Deer Bamboo Pieces had already been processed in the early stages. After being stored for so many years, they had not been affected by the dampness or mold at all. They were still the same as before. The processing and safekeeping were very good.

"Properly processed and preserved well. Furthermore, it's such a rare Plum Deer Bamboo. Your first folding fan is made of Plum Deer Bamboo. It's a matter that can only be chanced upon by luck. " Su Yongan immediately voiced out his thoughts.

Su Xinyue pointed at these Plum Deer Bamboo slices and discussed with her father. "We have the bamboo materials. What should we do next?" She was a little anxious and worried that she would not be able to complete the mission on time.

"Two big bones, seven small bones. This can only be used to make the Nine Gear Fan. " Su Yongan counted the number of bamboo slices, then he took out a ruler and measured it. "Ninety-five inches. "

"Yue Er, you can make a Nine Gear Fan. If I remember correctly, Next, you have to carefully polish these fan bones. Before you polish them, you first have to design a fan shape that needs to be made. Now that the specifications have been set, It can only be 95 inches, and we'll make it according to the original size. " Based on the current situation, He told Su Yongan the following steps.

"I originally thought that it would be a round plum blossom, but I was afraid that the shape would be too difficult, so I might as well change it to a semicircle. This head style is also very suitable for the style of the Plum Deer Bamboo. " Su Xinyue flipped through the information and said.

"On the basis of ensuring that it's beautiful and grand, the most important thing to consider is the simplicity of the production. If the craftsmanship is too complicated, it's easy to make mistakes. Now, let's draw a fan-shaped diagram based on the model that we have already envisioned. Only then will you be able to carry out the later polishing style. " Su Yongan knew that it would be very difficult to reach this step.

Su Xinyue took out 120% of her spirit and sat down at the table. She took out a ruler, a piece of paper, and a pen. She first marked the size on the paper, and then drew it on the paper according to the shape of the big bone and small bone. She marked the nail eye half an inch from the fan's head, and then drew the head into a semicircle. She drew such a simple fan drawing.

Su Yongan took a look and was quite satisfied. "I'll dig the ends according to this style. " He directly ordered.

Su Xinyue glanced at her father. She clearly knew that she would encounter all kinds of problems, so she could only take it one step at a time. She picked up the two large bones and looked at them carefully. Although they were already very flat, she still needed to use a knife to thin them. She looked at the seven small bones again. They also needed to be processed into thin slices.

Her eyes stared at the Plum Deer Bamboo in front of her, as if she wanted to see all of these bamboo slices into her heart.

Su Yongan looked at her and knew that she was looking at these bamboo shoots carefully. Only after she understood what was going on in her heart would she truly make a move.

After a long time, Su Xinyue picked up the large bone. She picked up a crescent moon blade from the table and opened the page of "digging" to make fan bones. Only then did she use the crescent moon knife to carefully cut the large piece of bone. She needed to thin it. She also needed to cut out the style and nail the eye. After making it like this, The fan bones at the back could be polished according to the thickness and appearance.

The whole process was the most time-consuming, and without any accidents. She didn't know if she would be able to completely polish these fan bones in ten days.

Beads of sweat dripped down her forehead. She didn't know if it was because she was too nervous or because she was too frightened. She lowered her head and focused on removing the large bone in her hand. She didn't even notice when her father had left.
