Le Binh village, Mai Thuy commune (Le Thuy) has long been famous for its traditional broom making career. For generations, generations of villagers have been diligently "keeping fire" for the profession before the ups and downs of life. At present, when many craft villages in our province are facing the risk of being lost and lost before the whirlwind of market mechanism, Le Binh broom is still standing and growing, contributing to the pride. of Mai Thuy people in particular, Le Thuy in general.
The
first stage is stripping, sorting and tying into a diameter of about 4-5 cm.
The person who sticks each of the sticks is dry, using small sticks to hold
them on both sides (also called a jar) until a stick has a tip about 40-50 cm
long, the stem is about 1m long (if it is made long tail). At the same time,
knit people classify by color (blue, yellow) and according to the short length
of the tops.
The second stage is the neck and
handle body (broom tail). After the first stage, the person who interrogated
the neck with a wire, used a sharp iron puncher to pierce through the body
about 1-2cm from the tip, charge it with 5-6 rounds and hide the bandage
inside. in the body.
Next is the problem (broom tail): split the body (from the neck) into 4
equal parts, then tie each part by wire and cover. The final stage is spread
and knit. After completing the first two steps, people use their hands to bend
half of the abdomen and a back and then level on the wooden spread table, then
clamp it firmly.
In the end, use a rope to twist
the three arc lines. From the spindly trees through the hands of lumpy hands
because of the pickaxe, plow, year-round familiarize with the farming of the
people who turned into sure, useful brooms.
In
recent years, thanks to the investment in the technical stage, the quality of
the broom has been improved significantly, however, the products of the craft
village have not really created a mark on the market due to the promotion. be
paid attention to. Accordingly, the competitiveness of products of other craft
villages is weak, the cost of products is lower.
Therefore, in order to develop a
career, in addition to planning a reasonable and long-term development plan,
people in Le Binh need to create conditions to borrow money with preferential
interest rates and longer loan periods. . Currently, the locality is planning
to establish a concentrated village cooperation group to create more favorable
conditions in preparing materials, purchasing products and seeking stable
consumption markets. Hopefully, the cooperative team will soon be established
and put into operation effectively to promote the village to develop more and
more.
