Rebirth in Another World: Beginning of the Orcs

"Lixia, I've never heard of the mat you're talking about. How did you make it up? Is it really soft to sleep on?" Taking advantage of Ernst's spare time while cooking, Soapy flipped through the mats on the floor. Miteng asked while tilting her hair.As Li Xia's friend who has known him for the longest time, Subi has called Li Xia's name very smoothly.

"The rattan is not dry yet, I'll teach you how to weave it when it's almost done," Li Xia casually picked up a rattan and pinched it, but there was no water coming out, and the color of the rattan changed from freshly picked green to withered yellow. The feel of a rubber band.

Mo Linda joined in the fun, "Li Xia, you changed your name and became very good. I like it again. When I heard the name Kevin before, I had the urge to drink diarrhea soup."

Li Xia was speechless, thanks to him being there, if it was Kevin before, the two of them might have started to pinch each other now.At the same time, the degree of hatred for Kevin has been raised to another level.Lixia not only thought darkly, this Kevin doesn't even treat him like a doctor, if he is sick, he will be punished so much.

"Oh", although Soapy was confused, it didn't hinder his good mood. "Hehe, I think the name Lixia sounds better than Kevin."

"Really? I think so too."

After tasting the barbecue and vegetable soup made by Ernst, Li Xia was speechless as he watched the three people beside him eating happily.

No matter how well the meat is grilled and how thick the soup is, it is still tasteless.The soup is fine, drink it as water, but have you ever seen anyone who can eat tasteless meat with relish.This kind of food is only used by local people.It is estimated that if this continues, he will become a white-haired girl.Isn't the wolf tribe Linhai?Li Xia decided to get some salt back.

After eating and enjoying the meal (?), the three of them collected the domi vines that were about to dry, Ernst went to wash the dishes, and Lixia and Subi Morinda started weaving.

Looking at the vines piled up in a corner of the room, he sorted out the steps in his mind. Li Xia picked up two very long vines and stretched them in his hands. Well, they are not only soft, but also very elastic.Although I don't know whether the brain-made method will be successful, but the experiment is very necessary, because all ideas will become reality only when they are put into action.

Sitting by the bed, Lixia taught Subi and Molinda to weave. First, they folded the two vines in half to find the center point, then crossed them at the center point, and then weaved matts.

Fortunately, with just a few movements, the two of them could get on with each other at once, and Molinda got started very quickly.Although the weaving was a bit loose at the beginning because of the unskilled technique, I started to weave it again under Li Xia's guidance and it started to look good.

Looking aside, seeing that Subi could weave freely, Li Xia also picked up two to weave.After all, the vines are much thicker than the colorful plastic ropes, so the finished product is also very thick, and it shows the progress, and it takes a long time to weave.

When Ernst came into the room, Li Xia pointed to a pile of super long vines that he picked out when harvesting the vines just now, and asked him to tear them into thin and thin skins for later use.

Looking at the long length of the weaving, and gesturing the width of the bed, Li Xia stopped the movements of his hands in time to finish.

In the past, those gadgets woven with colorful plastic ropes can be cut by pulling the ropes tightly at the end, but now the Domi rattan is much thicker, and if it is only like that, it is likely to scatter, so Lixia will grow out. The four ropes were gathered together and braided for a few times, and then tied tightly with the thin leather torn out by Ernst, and the excess was cut off.

Li Xia turned to look at Subi, his progress was not slow, he used the braided one to make a specific length, and the one in Molinda's hand was almost braided, so he instructed him on the finishing steps.

After breaking the thin skin, Ernst, who had nothing to do, joined the weaving team and learned to weave under the guidance of Li Xia. Because he is an orc and his hands are very strong, the finished product will not be woven. There is almost a tight place, good nothing to say.

Lixia is scratching the wall and envious, jealous and hate, is this the first time you make it up?It's even better than him.In fact, this is what he really cares about.Molinda watched the interaction between the two, and his subordinates kept knitting while laughing happily.

As a result, after the hard work of the four people got out of bed, a pile of long strips of braided semi-finished products with a small braid was piled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Next came the stitching.The thin skin of Domi vine that Ernst tore before came in handy.

Li Xia aligned the two braids side by side, and tried to find one that was long enough to be used from the beginning to the end in the pile of thin skins that Ernst had torn.Everyone knows that seaming is stronger than direct sewing and requires more threads.

Tie a dead knot at the adjacent end with the thin skin of Domi rattan, and then pass through the weaving gap in a spiral shape on the two sides where the two upper planes meet, and tighten it tightly to make it fit tightly, and then tie it to the end Knot.Turn the braid over and repeat the above action. At this point, the joining part is completed.Because the knots are tied at both ends, it does not hinder the smoothness of the mat.

In order to make the size of the woven mat suitable for the length of the bed, continue to connect other semi-finished products one by one.

Although the mats woven in this way can't be compared with the daily ones at all, Li Xia is still very happy, as can be seen from Subi's admiring little eyes with golden light.After all, not every traverser knows how to weave mats, make glass, or make the four great inventions like in the novel.

The four people connected in two sections and two sections, and then joined together, and a mat was successfully baked.Although it is called a mat, it is more appropriate to call it a mat. After all, its thickness is three fingers wide, and it can support the thickness of several animal skins stacked together.

Because the vine itself is round, the woven mat has a concave-convex feeling caused by this curvature, but because the rattan itself is very soft, the concave-convex feeling can be ignored when sleeping on it.This reminded Lixia of a physics experiment that was shown on TV.Put the balloon on a standing nail and press lightly, the balloon burst; put the balloon on a fine top plate and press lightly, the balloon did not burst.If the balloon is placed on a nail, then the place where the balloon and the nail are in contact will bear all the pressure, and if the nail is so dense that it forms a plane, then when the balloon is placed on it, it is equivalent to the pressure of the balloon and the nail. The entire plane is in contact, not just a single point. The smaller the force-bearing area, the greater the pressure it will bear, and the larger the force-bearing area, the pressure will be dispersed.

In any case, the mat was still made by Li Xia, and it won't feel uncomfortable when it sleeps again.

Holding a semi-finished product with braids in her hand, Molinda rolled from one end of the bed to the other, and then back from the other end, yelling that it was so soft, and strongly demanded to give him a piece of it too. Zhang, otherwise I will stay with Lixia and stay here.Soapy also opened his round eyes and conveyed the message he seemed to want with his eyes.

Lixia had this kind of plan before, so I made a lot of semi-finished braids, and it only took a lot of effort to connect the mats for the two of them.Since the mats still had a certain weight, Ernst took two of them.Li Xia began to teach Subi and Morinda another weaving method.

This kind of mat is much simpler than the previous mat. The three-strand twist braid is always long. It is also very convenient to add new rattan if the length is not enough in the middle.After a day of inquiring, Li Xia found that the people here had no utensils for storing things except pottery and buckets dug from trees. Before dividing Banzilong in the square, they used to hold them by hand, so he wanted to make baskets.

First determine the size, the plaited braids are spiraled up in circles like making pottery embryos, and each plate is fixed once, and finally a cylinder with two ends is not sealed, and the base is fixed with the plaited braids to a suitable size The round pad, and then connect the two parts with the thin skin of domi rattan, and the basket is completed.If necessary, add a belt on the side to form a back strap, and add a belt to the top to form a handle pocket.

Seeing the two people showing off their finished products to each other and comparing which one made better, Li Xia smiled, and suddenly thought of a simpler method.When I was young, I went back to my grandma’s house in the countryside, and I happened to see a craftsman weaving a door curtain, and a door curtain could be completed soon after the warp was lifted and pressed.But now, with the development of the economy.One by one horizontal bamboo curtains died together with the fallen old houses.

Anyway, there are still many domi vines now, and Li Xia has the heart to try again.

I called Ernst to find two smooth logs, one of which was tied with thin skins of domi vines that had been knotted in pairs at a fixed interval, and the other was suspended between the bed and the wooden pier.Use the small stone Soapy picked up at the door to tie the other end of the Domi rattan skin and the experiment can begin.

Throw a row of rattan bark over the suspended wooden frame and put it in place, find a Domi rattan to pass through it, separate the rattans together into two rows up and down, interlace the two rows of rattans up and down, and add a rattan The canes are threaded through and the staggering motion is repeated.The wood Ernst found was just right enough to put two canes side by side.Because the rattan is tied with stones, the drape is better, and the rattan can be juxtaposed very tightly almost without pulling hard.Under such operation, after two rows of rattan skins interweave up and down and uninterruptedly interspersed with rattan, and finally tie a knot, Ernst cuts the rattan growing on both sides, and a mat is completed.The size of the braid can also be determined according to your own.

In the process of weaving, you can also weave patterns according to your own creativity.If you want to design the rattan bark with floral decorations, you need to make corresponding changes to the rattan bark spacing.But this is of no use to Lixia, who is weaving a finished product for the first time. Everything in the Al continent is still practical.

Molinda clapped her hands and said that it was convenient and easy to do, and then she couldn't wait to experiment on her own, and Subi also followed him to help him put on the rattan.

Unknowingly, the time passed quickly, and it was already dark outside at this time, Soapy and the two were contented to say goodbye to Lixia and Ernst and go home with a basket on their backs.Sitting by the fire in the kitchen, the foodie Li Xia frowned and gnawed on the barbecue that Ernst specially left for him in his hand like an enemy. He was entangled in his heart, he must get salt.

☆, salt, pick up the sea
