Self-clothing and adequate food and clothing through crossing

"Hehe... I know, the bamboo strips of the baskets have to be bent from here, and then weaved like this until here, and they will bend again at this corner, can you see clearly?" Shang Chen looked at the baskets that Simu wove. , the rest of the place is good, only slightly wrong in the four corners.Baskets are the most delicate things among these bamboo products, because they will be used to hold paddy and rice in the future, and there must be no gaps or uneven bamboo strips, and the bamboo strips selected are also very particular, and it will take several years to grow. Otherwise, the paddy or rice that is put in will fall out of those flawed places, or a basket will break after a few times of use.Simu is very careful, that's why Shang Chen entrusted him with the delicate work of baskets.

This summer and autumn and winter, I am making bamboo sunning mats. The bamboo sunning mats are very large, rectangular, 12 meters long and [-] meters wide.It’s not as troublesome as directly drying on the ground. When the things on the drying mat are dried and put away, you only need to close the two ends. If you need to sweep the piles a little bit after drying on the ground, there may be a layer of dust or other things. scum.

I have to admit that there are times when there is great power in numbers. By lunch time at noon, I have already made dustpans, baskets, bucketpans, dustpans, drying mats, and bamboo baskets. Yes, this is considered a success, and the rest will be handed over to those who have learned it today. This way of teaching level by level has formed a fixed template in the subconscious of the tribe, and Shang Chen doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

In the morning, the orcs had brought back a lot of zong leaves, so after lunch, Shang Chen planned to teach everyone how to weave a bamboo hat. The bamboo hat and coir raincoat are a set, which are essential tools for rainy days.In this backward era, it is a luxury to get sick in the rain, so everyone's enthusiasm for bamboo hats is no less than the manufacture of farm tools.

Bamboo hats are worn on people's heads, so the workmanship is much finer than that of farm tools, and it is more accurate step by step. The bamboo hats are not very big, and there are many leaves mixed in, so it is not slow to make.First of all, weave the strips into a round hat blank according to certain rules. If the bamboo strips collected are green bamboo strips, the surface is smooth and tough.

In the second part, each hat needs two formed hat blanks. After the two hat blanks are woven, put the pre-soaked zong leaves on one of the hat blanks, and arrange them side by side in strict accordance with a certain order. , and then press another hat blank, and finally lock the two hat blanks sandwiching the zong leaves with a soft bamboo strip. The so-called lock is to use a bamboo strip to fix the two hat blanks firmly, Wrap them all around and put them together. Finally, weave a head-sized circle inside the hat blank with green bamboo, which is the position where the head of the hat will be worn in the future. At this point, the hat is basically completed and can be used after a little trimming.

It only took half an hour to make a bamboo hat. In the afternoon, I only made some bamboo hats at the beginning. In the rest of the time, some people were making coir raincoats, and some people continued to weave bamboo products. Dry, a large part of the orcs in the tribe were sent out to patrol the safety and hunt.Shang Chen temporarily asked ten orcs to take care of the paddy fields and seedlings one by one with shovels and frames.In the afternoon, it rained heavily again. I am afraid that some paddy fields have already overflowed the ridges of the fields.Shang Chen asked everyone to be careful when watching, maybe there will be fish in the rough water at this time, and if they meet them, they can be brought back as a dinner.

"What? The fish will jump up automatically. Is there really such a good thing? Then we must be careful, who will not pick up the fish for nothing." The orcs heard that there would be fish to pick up, and they were inexplicably excited. stand up.

"Of course it's not that the fish are lying there waiting for you to pick them up. It's just that the fish will swim up with the rain at this time, and it's easy to catch. It doesn't take much effort to catch them." Shang Chen couldn't laugh or cry. The thinking is really awesome.

"Oh, it's not bad, you can catch fish to eat while looking at the paddy fields."

"Brother, let's hurry up and make the bamboo hats and coir raincoats. I really want to go out and play. Every time it rains, we can only stay at home and nest. It's so annoying, especially in the cold season, we stay alone Month, when the cold season is over, I will feel as if I am sick." Brown and Xi Rui begged Shang Chen, especially when they heard that fish can be easily caught in places with strong currents in rainy days, the two of them were heartbroken. The itching is unbearable, Zhuo Kai and Qi Kai can turn into beasts and go out to let the wind go, and now they have gone out with the beastmen.

"Hehe...is it so pitiful? Wouldn't it be good if you don't work and let you lie down and rest?"

"What's wrong? We got moldy after resting at night, and we still have to sleep during the day. I can't sleep." Brown puffed his mouth and looked disgusted.

"Okay, just wait, it's all right, here, take the coir raincoat first." The adult who is weaving at the side understands the child's heart very well, let alone a child, even an adult feels that it is too much to stay in the whole cold season. It's going to be moldy, so as soon as the knitting is done, each person will have a hat and a coir raincoat.

Hearing an "oh", the two of them ran out very quickly. It was the first time that they were able to go so fast while wearing coir raincoats, which showed how excited they were about going out.

Shang Chen plans to make a set of bamboo tables and chairs in the afternoon. This must be done, because everyone can only squat or sit on the ground every time they eat. immoral.The stone table in my house is deadly, every time it takes Long Che, Torre, Qiu Hao orcs to move it, once they are not there, I can't move it half a bit, it is super shameful, a table for eating needs orcs Come to move, I am really a man in vain, and I am getting closer to the path of a woman, so I must not let this situation continue to develop.

Although everyone has never felt the importance of tables and chairs before, let alone squatting or sitting while eating food, but now that there is this opportunity to make it on a clean and cool bamboo chair, and it can also be used It would be great not to use that dead stone, after all, who would be so foolish to use something good.Now I just hope that Shang Chen will teach everyone to make it, and then I can make a set of tables and chairs like this in my own home.

Making a chair is easier than making a table. In the past, I just helped my grandfather make it at home. Now I have to do it myself. Shang Chen is still a little worried. Although he was full of fighting spirit at the beginning, he realized that helping is helping when he was doing it. It seems very simple, but it is hard to tell whether the things you draw float or not.

Wiping the sweat off his forehead vigorously, lying on the ground tired and kicking, it was really difficult, especially the step of bending a few heated bamboos into a U shape.This summer and autumn and winter are not much better. After tossing with a few bamboos for a long time, I finally completed the task. I was so thirsty that I picked up the wooden bowl and drank a lot of water before I had the strength to continue working.

After the first chair was finished, I saw that the shape was too far apart, crooked and ugly, but it was not in vain. With the first chair, the second and third chairs were much easier. Yes, of course it will look better.The chair made by Shang Chen is the most common one in the previous life. It is the kind that ordinary farmers sit on. Those bamboo chairs with various names on the Internet are exquisite and beautiful like works of art. Shang Chen can only make this kind of household. type.

Long Che, Tuo Lei, and Qiu Hao came back before the table was made. Although they didn't want to admit it, when they saw that the three of them had finished a table in just one hour, This summer, autumn and winter, Shang Chen and the three of them were so frustrated, they were like eggplants beaten by frost.

In particular, Torre raised his eyebrows and said, "Look at you three, I have already said that you are really not suitable for this kind of work that requires brains and strength, tsk tsk, do you understand now? You are so stupid. It took such a long time to make a chair, hey, let’s do it, not only will I be exhausted, but I don’t know if this chair can sit on people. The sky will be broken." Since autumn and winter and this summer when I started collecting food with Shang Chen, I have never paid much attention to orcs, but the difference between men and orcs is really not obvious when collecting food. It's almost the same, the three orcs of brother let's start to doubt their own value, and their self-confidence has fallen to the bottom. Today, it's hard to take this opportunity to make them recognize who is the backbone of the family.

Although Long Che and Qiu Hao didn't say a word, the slightly upturned corners of their mouths were obvious, Jin Xia stood up and rolled up his sleeves, and angrily announced with his hips on his hips: "Okay, you guys think you're amazing, don't you? Let me go, isn't it just a table? From now on, we will compete with each other, and we will make the bamboo sieve that Shang Chen said, and see who can make the first one first." What does it mean that work that requires brains and strength is not suitable? Myself, why don't you just say that you are too stupid to do such meticulous work?Damn Torre, see if you don't rectify your spirit, and don't climb on your head to make a nest in the future?This Xia secretly gritted his teeth and thought, what Shang Chen said was absolutely right, the orc companion couldn't be too nice to him, otherwise he wouldn't even know what his name was.
