Self-clothing and adequate food and clothing through crossing

Five days later, the cold season finally came, and the heavy snow fell all night. When I got up the next day, I saw that the world was completely white, covered with silver, yushuqionghua, and everything was silent. I had been busy for more than half a year. People finally ushered in the five-and-a-half-month-long nest winter.

It's winter, not only the baby in the father's belly is going to be born in a few months, but also several other tribes are going to give birth, so Shang Chen's first task now is to take everyone out of the cotton and make it into cotton cotton Trousers, try to let the newborn babies wear them.Although it is the first time to plant cotton without much experience and the soil is used for the first time, Shang Chen has done a lot of work in the early stage of cotton planting, such as a series of measures for seeds such as land preparation and fertilization.

Therefore, nearly 5000 catties of cotton have been harvested on 4000 mu of land, which is about [-] catties per mu. This achievement is quite amazing.However, there are nearly [-] members of the Flying Tiger Clan. If the cotton is divided according to the head of the head, each person will only get eight catties of cotton. What can eight catties of cotton do?Judging by the height and shape of an orc, a thicker quilt can't be played, but if it is used to make cotton clothes and trousers, it can be made into two sets.

In addition, in order to show the reward to the nine iron-making orcs, the clan wanted to squeeze out some cotton for them, but the nine people, starting with the patriarch, didn't want it, so they took the initiative to hand it over to the clan for distribution to everyone.In the end, everyone unanimously suggested that Shang Chen must be rewarded with some cotton, because Shang Chen’s contribution to everyone cannot be measured in material terms, and they can only give something that everyone thinks is good for Shang Chen to make a suit of underwear or a quilt , the rest of the things are available in Shang Chen's family, and there is no shortage at all.Moreover, Shang Chen's body is very thin, and he is always afraid of the cold. This can be regarded as letting Shang Chen take good care of himself, for everyone, for all the clansmen, and for himself and Long Che.

Shang Chen felt ashamed, although he had made a little contribution, but his body was not bad although he was a little thinner, although they were still a little worse than this summer, but there was no need to be so...so special Care ah, really ashamed.But I really couldn't refuse everyone's kindness, so I could only accept twelve catties of cotton. At the same time, there was a sour and touching tremor in Shang Chen's heart. Yes, this is the most precious gift from everyone. Gift!

It has long been expected that there will not be much cotton distributed to each person in the end. Shang Chen has asked everyone to keep the feathers of chickens, ducks, geese, and birds. Although there are not many chickens, ducks, geese, and birds here, but It’s better to have than nothing, every time you collect a little bit, at least you can gather together to make a down jacket for the newborn baby, right?

At first, after hearing Shang Chen's words, everyone couldn't figure it out for a long time. What did the fluttering feathers want to do?Is Shang Chen joking?But after Shang Chen's patient explanation, everyone finally understood.That’s right, chickens, ducks and geese are happy to rely on their feathers to keep warm in the cold season. This means that their feathers must be very warm, otherwise they won’t freeze to death?Alas, it's just too difficult to gather. There are so many feathers that can't make a piece of clothing, so we need to collect more.

Shang Chen, Qiu Dong and the others have been working hard to get feathers, and they have finally lived up to everyone's expectations. White, black, gray... a mess of colors combined to make two sets of clothes for the baby.My lord has no choice but to be scruples. Although Long Che really wanted to get a down jacket for Shang Chen, Shang Chen refused, which prevented Long Che from spending other thoughts, and Long Che agreed to Shang Chen.However, the cotton distributed by the tribe was firstly made into a cotton padded jacket and trousers for Shang Chen, and the remaining Shang Chen made a thick cotton padded jacket and trousers for Long Che. Pizi made a quilt together.

Originally, with Shang Chen's stature, the remaining cotton would be enough to make a quilt, but... Long Che's stature was astonishing, at least two meters tall and strong, and he was like a child in Long Che's arms, so It can only be mixed with some leather and fluff. If you want to make a real quilt, you can only talk about it next year.But the feeling of being covered on the body is nothing to say, Shang Chen rolled happily on the bed for a long time before he was willing to stop, and even pulled Long Che to try before letting go.

Seeing Shang Chen showing such a childish side for the first time, Long Che couldn't help but take off Shang Chen's clothes and rampage recklessly in his soft and moist little mouth all afternoon before he was willing to withdraw.Shang Chen was depressed facing the quilt, thinking to himself, why does it feel like this quilt is giving benefits to Long Che?

Although there are only two sets of cotton clothes and trousers and a quilt, it took a lot of time, because there are cotton seeds in the cotton. First, the cotton seeds must be removed, and then the cotton should be softened before making clothes and pants.Shang Chen had never played cotton before, and he only saw others playing cotton. It seemed simple, but it was not.However, to make a quilt, cotton needs to be sprung well. Generally, cotton padded trousers do not need to be sprung, as long as they are spread evenly and flatly on the cloth and then sewed one by one with a needle and thread.

Although we don’t want to play cotton this year, we will play it next year, so Shang Chen has explained his ideas to everyone in detail. I hope everyone will think about it together and try to figure out the method like a kang bed, so that we can play cotton well next year. Got caught.The quilts in my home are still torn apart by hand little by little, spread evenly, and then pressed tightly. Finally, the needle and thread are used to sew a little bit at a distance before it is completed. Therefore, it is better to figure out the method of popping cotton earlier. Otherwise, how much effort would it take to make a quilt?

This year’s cold season has a kang bed, even if there is no quilt cover, it is still warm, and the food is enough. The patriarch and the others discussed that they should catch some small animals to eat as they did last year. If the weather allows If you want to fish, try to get as much food as possible to store.After all, the tribe will not be able to eat rice and wheat until the ninth month of next year, and they don't know what the harvest will be next year?Only when every household stores enough food can they feel confident.Everyone is very supportive of this, and people who are frightened by hunger are desperately moving food to their homes.

Today, we gathered everyone to learn how to make a windmill in the meeting hall. After the windmill is finished, we will continue to learn how to make a waterwheel and a sofa.A windmill is a kind of agricultural tool. After crushing rice and wheat with a stone mortar, there will be a lot of husks and wheat husks inside. Before eating, you must clean the husks inside thoroughly, otherwise you will be full of husks. Son.

Because there were not many millet and wheat in each family last year, everyone used a sieve to sieve them little by little. This year, each family has a lot, so Shang Chen plans to make a windmill to fan the chaff and wheat husks. It is easy to use. fast.Just pour the millet into the funnel at the top of the windmill, hold the handle with one hand and turn it slowly, the chaff will automatically come out from the tail of the windmill, and the clean rice will pour down from the inclined opening next to the handrail.

The principle of the windmill is to use a fan to blow out the chaff. It is not difficult to make. As long as you master this principle, you can think about the rest of the details several times, and finally you can make it.In the previous life, every household used it in the farmhouse. At first, Shang Chen fanned the rice with his father, but later Shang Chen did it by himself, so this time, after breaking four, he finally finished it.A wooden fan with a diameter of about one meter is installed on the edge of the funnel mouth at the top. The function of manual rotation is to rotate the fan. This fan has a spherical hole on the outside, and the fan inside can be seen from the outside.

In fact, it is a manually controlled fan that blows out the husks inside the rice, and this windmill is also designed with four grades of size, you can choose according to your own needs when using it, if it is a large grade, the millet in the funnel will be fine will fall down quickly.If you use a small grade, the millet in the funnel will slowly fall down, which is very user-friendly, but sometimes the large grade cannot completely clean the shells inside, so you have to do it all over again, so this grade is still good. It depends on the amount of rice in the funnel.

This kind of windmill is very fast to use, and there is no need to sieve it over and over again. The tribesmen, whether they are orcs, men or children, use stone mortars to crush millet and wheat at home when they are free, and then use fans to quickly Soon you can clean the shell inside the millet.

After the husks inside the millet and wheat are crushed, the common saying is called bran. Of course, if you have animal bran at home, you will not throw it away. Put it in a pot and boil it together with wild vegetables or fruits, pine nuts, and rhizomes. The delicacy of the young cubs is easy to digest and highly nutritious.The cubs eat it with great joy every time. They finish eating quickly with their tails flicking, and they will often rub your trousers to eat more. Of course, the cubs who eat this kind of food will grow Got big and fat, great body.

So as long as they are carefully fed and taken care of, even cubs born in the cold season will still not get sick or die.This is no less than a reassurance for all the clansmen. Although the cubs can drink milk, they also need to eat with other foods. They can't just drink milk all the time, just like children, they also need to add supplementary food.

After a busy day, Long Che and Shang Chen went home hand in hand, stepping on the snow that was crunching, their feet inevitably got muddy.Although the soles made of wood are very thick, the uppers are still unavoidably dirty. Shang Chen simply made two pairs of leather shoes for the two of them out of rough thick leather, but he always took them off after going out. It's a bit of a hassle to take it off.

"It would be great if you don't need to take off your shoes and put on something directly. I think about it... Yes, we used to have a kind of shoes called clogs, which were specially designed for rainy days. Let's try it in a few days and see if it works. Okay?" Shang Chen said with a frown while taking off his shoes, and suddenly remembered a kind of ancient wooden clogs that he used to wear at home, and smiled with his big clear eyes.

"It just so happens that the windmill has already taught everyone. Ask Torre and Qiu Hao to try it out together. It shouldn't be difficult. It's nothing more than shoes." Long Che raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile. strands of hair.

"What do you want for lunch?"

"Hmm... can I just eat the dumpling you mentioned? Is there time?" After thinking for a while, I suddenly remembered the dumpling that Shang Chen had said to make earlier in the morning, but he never had the chance to make it. Today, the windmill just came to an end , Just make it and eat it.

"Okay, let's eat dumplings and call Qiu Hao and Daddy over."

"Next time, it's just the two of us today." Long Che rejected Shang Chen's proposal without hesitation. Once those guys came, they couldn't be quiet anymore. He wanted to enjoy being alone with Shang Chen, how could he? I let others disturb it before I ate it, but my baby made it specially for me.

"Haha...well, from now on, you can decide these things, and I won't care about them." Shang Chen pursed his lips and smiled, squinting his eyes in response.
