I'm not a wild eater

[Some traditional Chinese medicines are not only bitter, but also sour. 】

[That kind is really unbearable, much worse than simple bitter medicine. 】

[The cycle is still very long, ranging from a few days to a few months. 】

[Three to five days, will it be too late? 】

【It's hard to say, after all, Lord Mu is notoriously slow, last time the pillow case took a week to make. 】

"Okay, then count it as three days."

"Then we have to get out the plantain fiber today, and we will have to dry it for another day."

"Tomorrow, I'll bring it back in the sun to rub the rope, and then weave it, boil it in water to disinfect it, and dry it in the sun."

"Add moss to it and sew it up."

Mu calculated the time required for each step.

If it takes three days, you need to rush to work.

"It doesn't sound difficult," Yan Shu said.

Mu Qing didn't refute, just squinted his eyes and smiled.

The soaking time of the plantain poles is not very long, among other things, the only thing is to get out the plantain fibers.

It is estimated that it will take a lot of time.

"Let's go."

Mu Qing collected the water hyacinth shells on the table and threw them into the stove.

Grab some dried bamboo shoots and soak them in a ceramic bowl.

Some wood was added to the place where the pottery was baked.

Bring the tools you used to catch brook fish and cut a few small pieces of meat as bait.

The two chatted and went to the creek, walked down the creek, and first put the fishing tools on the edge of the small pond.

Continue down to the place where the plantain is soaked.

Mu Qing stepped on the stone on the side, with one force, he took out the soaked plantain pole.

Squeeze with hand.

"How? How? Is it okay?" Yan Shu asked.

"It's almost meaningless. It would be much better if it could be soaked for a day or two."

"But you can't wait any longer. It will take a little longer to process, but it can still be done."

As Mu Qing said, he brought up the whole bundle of plantain poles and put them on the embankment.

The vine that dried the plantain fiber before had been torn off, Mu Qing found another one, and hung it on the trees on both sides.

With his head down, he searched for a while by the river embankment.

Collect a few stones of the right size and come back.

"I can't miss the woodcutter, I'll go back up and get two pieces of bamboo." After hesitating for a while, Mu Qing decided to make an extra trip.

"Let me go, what kind of bamboo do you want?" Yan Shu stopped Mu Qing.

It is much more cost-effective to run errands by yourself and leave Muqing to work here.

"The regular one is fine, otherwise just take a bamboo tube that serves as a water cup, and I'll take care of it." Mu Qing said.

"Then I'll take a bamboo tube down."

Yan Shu put down his things, walked up the embankment, and up the hillside in front of the camp.

Muqing put down the banana pole and cut off the fixed vines.

Take out one and press it with the heel of your palm, the plantain pole is easily crushed, and you can push out the meat of the plantain pole with a slight push forward.

"It may be that the temperature has been high recently. The degree is better than I thought."

As Muqing said, he picked up the plantain pole and went to the river.

Hit it a few times with the round pebbles you picked up, and put it in a place where the water flow is not urgent.

Smash it a few more times, and swing it again.

When the flesh of the plantain pole was almost shaken, Mu Qing used his fingers to gently rub the plantain fibers.

Scrub and clean the flesh of the banana pole attached to it.

【This time, the shredded plantain looks better. 】

【White and clean. 】

【The time of soaking is not long this time, it was too long last time, and many of them have changed color. 】

[It would be great if it was so white after drying, I always feel that white looks cleaner. 】

[Yes, yes, especially personal items. 】

[This is really impossible, it will definitely change color after drying. 】

[It will also become rough, which is a bit unacceptable when you think about it. 】

"I'm back."

Yan Shu took small steps and came down from the hillside.

Looking at the plantain fibers that Mu Qing was holding in his hand, which was swaying with the water waves.

"Wow, it looks so soft, I feel like weaving good satin is enough." Yan Shu was attracted by the softness of the plantain fiber.

"Yeah, but it's a pity that it becomes frizzy after drying."

"There are no short-lived bark ropes in the camp. I will handle the plantains. Twist these into ropes."

Muqing responded and handed the processed plantain fiber to Yan Shu.

"Rope rubbing? Do we still need a lot of rope?" Yan Shu asked.
