Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

Before, An An considered that it was too hot so she did not immediately set out to the salt well to make salt. She thought that the temperature would drop after a while and it would not be too late to go then. But now it has been more than two months and the temperature is still over 40 degrees and has not dropped. Who knows how long this high temperature will last.

Therefore, she planned to take a few stronger people to the salt well, boil the salt there directly, and then load the salt back through the system backpack. Although it would be a little hot, it should be better after all because they don't have to walk with a heavy load.

And when they go out with her, she will try to buy some ice to cool them down and prevent them from getting heatstroke. After all, compared to the price of salt, ice is much cheaper in the system.

Shi Anan mentioned her decision at home, but she didn't expect that Xiao Yi would be the first to object: "I don't agree. If you want to go, take me with you."

"Oh, my little beauty, what you are doing in the village now is the most important to me. No one else can make as much money as you do. If you go out with me and waste so much time, my silver coins will not be enough to keep the air conditioner running!" Shi Anan persuaded.

Xiao Yi was unmoved: "It's too dangerous for you to go out alone."

Shi Anan disagreed: "How is it dangerous? It's not like I haven't been there before, and I'm not going alone. I'll bring someone with me."

"They can't protect you." Xiao Yi added silently in his heart that he would only feel at ease if I went with them.

"I am a person blessed by God, how could there be any danger for me? Others are afraid of me too much! It's settled!" Shi Anan also became stubborn.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Xiao Yi pursed his lips, and then seemed to suddenly think of something: "You can't ride a horse, do you want someone else to take you?"

He said that even though he had taught Shi Anan for such a long time, Shi Anan's riding skills were not even as good as those of the security team members.

Shi Anan was speechless for a moment. Although she did not have Xiao Yi's old-fashioned idea of ​​strict separation between men and women, when she thought of riding a horse with a man who was not Xiao Yi, Shi Anan could not help but shudder and felt a little sick.

But... "I can ride by myself!" Shi Anan emphasized.

Xiao Yi sneered and glanced at her: "With your riding skills that can't even get on a horse, do you dare to ride a horse by yourself?"

Shi Anan glared at him: "Who are you mocking? Who said I couldn't go up? I wasn't serious!"

Xiao Yi showed an expression of disbelief, Shi Anan frowned and snorted coldly: "Just wait, I'm going up by myself, and you are not allowed to speak again."

After his reminder, Shi Anan remembered that she had planned to make stirrups, saddle and horseshoes. There was no time to install the horseshoes on the horse for the time being, but the stirrups and saddle could be made now. Once she had these two things, she would see if Xiao Yi would dare to laugh at her for not being able to get on the horse.

To make saddles and stirrups, one must first select suitable raw materials, usually made of wood. Secondly, they must be designed according to the size of the horse and the needs of the rider. Shi Anan's needs are simple, as long as they are comfortable and stable to sit on, and the horse is naturally customized according to her exclusive Arabian horse.

Shi Anan named the horse she chose Jiying, which was a very strong and beautiful horse. Because she was angry with Xiao Yi, she did not ask Xiao Yi for help in making the saddle and stirrups, but asked Uncle Hao Ren for help.

Based on Shi Anan's explanation, Hao Ren roughly understood what she wanted, and then began to measure. After measuring the approximate data, he chose a sturdy piece of wood and began to carve it. Shi Anan was afraid that he might not understand something, so she didn't leave and just stood by and watched.

Fortunately, Hao Ren was an experienced carpenter. Amid the flying sawdust, Shi Anan saw that the saddle she wanted had gradually taken shape. Shi Anan added, "Uncle Hao, leave some holes on both sides of the saddle for me."

"I know!" Hao Ren replied, continuing to polish the saddle until it was smooth and burr-free. Then he put the wooden saddle on the horse's back and adjusted the length and fit with the horse's back. Only then was the shape of the saddle completely fixed.

The next step was to sew some leather and cushions onto the wooden saddle to make it more comfortable for the person sitting on it. This job was not difficult. Uncle Hao's daughter-in-law Shu Niang took over the saddle and started sewing it quickly.

In addition, leather strips and ropes are needed as saddle straps to secure the saddle to the horse's back.

These things can be handed over to Shu Niang for preparation for the time being, and Hao Ren continued to make stirrups.

Shi Anan described the shape of the stirrup to Hao Ren again as before, and Hao Ren chose another piece of wood and began to cut and polish it. Afraid that the burrs on the wood would hurt the precious horse, Hao Ren was as careful when making the stirrup as he was when he made the saddle before, and only considered it finished when the stirrup was polished round and smooth.

At this time, Shu Niang had already finished sewing the saddle and prepared the saddle straps.

Shi Anan took it excitedly and checked it out: "Thank you, Uncle Hao and sister-in-law, you did a great job."

Shu Niang smiled shyly and said nothing, but Hao Ren was very happy to be praised: "Hahaha, as long as Miss Shi is satisfied, I just don't know if this saddle and stirrup can really help people learn to ride a horse as quickly as possible?"

Shi Anan nodded affirmatively: "Of course, with this, I don't have to worry about my legs not having enough strength to clamp the horse's belly and causing me to slip off the horse."

"It's so magical. Can I follow you to the parade ground to take a look? This is the first time I make something like this. I'm really curious." Hao Ren touched his head and said. After working as a carpenter for so many years, this was the first time he made something like a saddle. After all, even creatures like horses were very far away from them before.

"Of course you can. If you want to see it, you can come along." Shi Anan looked at Shu Niang who was looking expectant on the side and took the initiative to invite her.

After all, Shu Niang also contributed a lot to the making of this saddle.

It just so happened that the sun was about to set, and it was not as strong as it was at noon. It was better to do it now than to wait for another day. Shi Anan said, "Let's go, we'll go to the training ground now."

Because the sun was about to set, more and more people were moving around in the village. Everyone looked at Shi Anan walking on the road with something that was very delicately sewn, which looked like a cushion but also somewhat different. Hao Ren and Shu Niang were following behind her, and everyone was a little curious.

"Shuniang, where are you and your father-in-law going with Miss Shi?" A woman who knew Shuniang pulled her aside and asked.

Shu Niang was pulled to a stop and replied softly, "Miss Shi asked my father-in-law and I to make something called a saddle and stirrup. Now it's ready, and we're preparing to test it in the training ground."

The woman was puzzled: "Saddle and stirrups, what are those?"

Shu Niang shook her head: "I don't know either. We just followed Miss Shi's instructions. It is said to be a tool that can help learn horse riding. We also plan to go and broaden our horizons."

After Shu Niang finished speaking, she said goodbye to the woman and quickened her pace to catch up with Shi Anan and Hao Ren in front.

The villagers nearby, who had been listening to the conversation between Shu Niang and the woman intentionally or unintentionally, all looked at each other. There was something lively going on, so let's go and take a look!
