Beginning Backpack [Farming]

The temperature in Linshanyuan has always changed rapidly. Not long ago, it was still drizzling and everything was recovering. Today, it is hot. Fortunately, everyone including Shen Huaijin is used to this climate.

Thanks to this, Shen Huaijin was finally able to take off her heavy clothes and work with ease.

As soon as the temperature rises, it is naturally time to sow seeds.This year, Shen Huaijin mainly has potatoes, peppers, rice and soybeans to sow.

When looking for An's help before, the two made an appointment to ask Shen Huaijin to give some pepper seeds to An so that the latter could plant them together.But the current situation is that An is still pregnant, and Shen Huaijin doesn't want him to be too tired, so after discussing, the two decided that Shen Huaijin would sow the seeds alone, and then distribute some to An after harvesting.After all, the spiciness of this batch of peppers is not low, and the output is completely enough for two.In exchange, An will help take care of the fields in the future.

The seeds need to be pre-treated before they can be planted, so Shen Huaijin operated at the same time.

Pepper seeds are the most convenient and can be planted directly, but they will germinate faster after soaking in water. Shen Huaijin soaked the seeds for half a day before sowing.

In order to ensure nutrition, Shen Huaijin's homemade fertilizer was applied to the pepper field in advance.

After sowing the peppers, he started working on the other seeds.

Potatoes should be placed in the shed to ensure that the sun shines and wait for them to sprout.Rice needs to be sun-dried, soaked in cold water, and then wait for it to germinate.As for soybeans, they can be sun-dried in advance.

Shen Huaijin planted soybeans first, then cut the sprouted potatoes into pieces and buried them in the fertile soil that had been loosened in advance.Immediately afterwards, he will deal with his cherished rice.

When the seeds are soaked, those grains that are not full will float up, and Shen Huaijin can pick out these useless grains by the way.After about three days, the paddy can be fished out for germination.

Shen Huaijin picked another piece of land as a seedbed. After the rice sprouted light-colored shoots, he spread the sprouts evenly on the seedbed and covered it with soil.

After finishing these tasks, you only need to wait for the seedlings to grow in the seedbed, and then transplant the seedlings.

After finishing all the farm work, even with Li's help from time to time, Shen Huaijin was exhausted.Just when he thought he could take a break, Shi came over to remind him that the two looms he wanted before were finished.

When Shen Huaijin approached Shi to discuss building a wooden cart, the production of the loom was nearing completion.During the period when he was busy with farm work, the sub-beasts in the tribe worked together to build sixteen wooden carts. Everyone estimated that they would be enough for the time being, so they ended the busy car-building plan, and Shi also had time. Putting the finishing touches on the loom.

According to the previous agreement, the two looms were placed under the sacred beast tree in the center of the square.Not long ago, the Sacred Beast Tree had sprouted a lot of new branches, and now it can be said to be full of vitality. Shen Huaijin is looking forward to its performance in this year's off season.

Although the loom was set up, the bamboo reed was actually missing and could not be operated.Shen Huaijin had no choice but to dissuade the enthusiastic Asian beasts first, and then took them to visit the structure of the bamboo reed on the old loom.

Shen Huaijin said concisely: "There are still four missing."

"No problem, let's do it together, and we'll finish it soon." An said as she touched her stomach.

From Shen Huaijin's point of view, Ann's stomach is the size of a woman on Earth when she is seven or eight months pregnant, but because the Asian beast has a larger body, it doesn't look so conspicuous.

Even so, in daily life, Shen Huaijin would still treat him with extra care, but was laughed at by the latter instead.

Eight dexterous sub-beasts were selected to make bamboo reeds, one was in charge of cutting bamboo strips, and the other was in charge of tying.If Shen Huaijin and Li had a tacit understanding like before, then every two Asian beasts would be responsible for one bamboo reed, and it should be completed quickly.

Of course, Shen Huaijin and the other Asian beasts were not idle either.

Shen Huaijin once harvested a large amount of ramie fibers, which were basically turned into hemp balls during the rainy and cold seasons. Now that the loom is in sight, he certainly hopes to brush them before weaving. The clothes made of such cloth are also Much smoother.

Brushing is a delicate job. First of all, the rolled hemp thread must be separated, threaded into reeds, one end is hung on a wooden frame, and the other end is tied to a wooden stick, and pressed firmly with stones.

A batch of twine is 20 meters long, but it can only be brushed three to five meters at a time, and often needs to be brushed multiple times.The section that needs to be brushed should be combed in advance.The lint that appears during the carding process needs to be brushed to solve it.

Shen Huaijin made a large starch brush with the vellus hair of the beast, and then used it to evenly sprinkle the boiled taro paste on the twine, then carefully spread it evenly with the starch brush, and carefully separated the twine sticking together.

When brushing, it is inevitable that some of the hemp threads will be broken. At this time, we need to carefully twist the broken hemp threads together again.This step is very troublesome, but fortunately there are many people and strength, and several sub-beasts act together, and the speed is faster.

After the twine is dry, press lightly with the palm of your hand, and you will feel more elastic than before, and then you can take it off through the reed.

The starched hemp thread can be directly put on the loom to start weaving, but Shen Huaijin has a lot in stock, so everyone continued to brush the starch.

When Li led a group of road-building orcs back, the sub-beasts were still working tirelessly on the mortar.As soon as Shen Huaijin saw them, she trot happily to Li's side, proudly said: "I tried using taro paste instead of rice paste today, and it really succeeded!"

Having lived together for so long, Li Ziran understood the role of a fan, applauding again and again made Shen Huaijin even more elated.

The sky was getting dark gradually, and twisting the thread was exhausting eyesight. Shen Huaijin was afraid that it would damage the eyes of the sub-beasts, so she drove them back home, and the surroundings became quiet for a while.

After a busy day, Shen Huaijin was sitting and resting under the big peach tree in front of the house. Shen Huaijin quickly took out the cold water that had been dried in advance, and sat down when sending it to him.

He stretched his waist, looked up and saw the bare peach trees, and said with emotion: "In the blink of an eye, a year has passed, and finally I can drink peach blossom tea and eat peaches again."

"En." Li lowered his head and drank his tea, as if thinking of something, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be concealed.

Both of them had been busy for a day, so they didn't have much time to cook, so they casually ate some barbecue and sweet potatoes, served with some sour diced radish and lemon juice, and it was a simple dinner.

After several days of busy work, Shen Huaijin finished brushing all the hemp threads, and finished making four bamboo reeds, which were installed on the loom.

Shen Huaijin asked everyone to carry the loom from the shed to the square and put it together with the other two.

He announced loudly: "The sub-beasts in the tribe can use these three looms in turn. The sequence is up to you to decide. The exchange is that for every six pieces of cloth weaved, five will be yours, and one loom will be yours. to me."

An asked, "Jin, how big is a piece of cloth?"

These three looms can weave cloth with a width of about one meter, but the length can be determined by oneself. It is not surprising that everyone has this doubt.

Just as Shen Huaijin was about to say two meters, she suddenly realized that everyone didn't know the unit "meter", so while drawing the length on the ground, she secretly thought that it is necessary to teach the unit of measurement in math class.

Yu and Miao are often in the medicine house, so the math class in the tribe did not stop after the end of the cold season, but the frequency was reduced.As long as Shen Huaijin taught them, it would be very quick for them to teach an entire tribe.

After the drawing, everyone compares it, and they all know the required length clearly.

Shen Huaijin also reminded: "For the convenience of cutting and making clothes in the future, I suggest that everyone weave at least six pieces of cloth at a time. The disadvantage is that the rotation time will be longer, but overall, it is good for everyone."

"By the way, you don't have to separate pieces of cloth for exchange. You can weave them together for me." Shen Huaijin laughed.

The sub-beasts listened and nodded again and again.

Yang suddenly asked again: "Jin, where does our twine come from?"

Shen Huaijin thought for a while, and said, "The ramie field has a high yield, so don't worry about the raw materials."

Ramie can be harvested several times a year. Judging from the climate here, Shen Huaijin estimates that the first batch of ramie will be harvested this year when the water season is halfway through.

"As for the hemp, brushing and weaving, everyone can learn to do it by themselves, but the first step of bleaching is a bit troublesome and needs to use lime water. This step is temporarily done by me, so you don't have to worry."

Yang nodded, "That's good. When I ask you to help with bleaching, we will send you food."

Shen Huaijin smiled, "It's not a troublesome matter, just give it whatever you want."

After these things were agreed, the sub-beasts began to sort. An was not in a hurry, so he didn't participate in the competition.The final decision was made by Yin, Yang and another sub-beast who participated in making the bamboo reed.

The three of them took their seats one after another. Since they had seen and tried Shen Huaijin weaving before the cold season, they got started quickly this time.Shen Huaijin looked aside for a while, seeing that there was nothing wrong, she walked away in peace.

He went to Shi.Stone Statue silently made stone tools in the square as before.

Shen Huaijin sat down beside him.

"Shi, these three looms cannot run smoothly without your help. Just now I proposed that the sub-beasts who use the looms will give me one piece for every six pieces of cloth weaved. I thought about it, I Half of the cloth you get will be given to you."

Shi was stunned, and then asked with a tiger's face: "Jin, what do you think I can do with so much cloth?"

Shen Huaijin smiled slightly, "Cloth can be used in many ways, such as making clothes, bed sheets, and even sewing a cloth bag."

Shi knew that Shen Huaijin looked soft, but he was actually as stubborn as him, so he said: "I don't know how to do these. Otherwise, what kind of clothes, sheets, bags, you can help me make a set." , I can use what I have. As for the rest, you keep it!"

Shen Huaijin understood what he meant, so it would be good for both of them to take a step back.

He smiled heartily, "Okay."
