Chapter 39 Chapter 039
It is important to train Di Shu to practice magic, but the basic development of the tribe must also be guaranteed.
Since Wen Erbai's arrival, Di Wen has been responsible for most of the external issues, as well as the training of the hunting team and ensuring the basic food and clothing of the tribesmen. Occasionally, when encountering things he understands, he still goes to them himself.Wen Erbai is responsible for finding more types of food and knowledge in all aspects. Many things cannot be done without her teaching or watching.Coupled with the matter of teaching the tribe's magic knowledge, Wen Erbai was even more at a loss.
"Boss, can't we apply for foreign aid?" Wen Erbai walked up to Di Wen pitifully.
"What foreign aid?" Di asked indifferently.
"Of course it's a powerful foreign aid, such as... sister-in-law?" Wen Erbai saw that Di Wen felt embarrassed at himself when he heard the word "sister-in-law", and immediately changed his words: "Uh, patriarch Bu Nuan, patriarch Bu Nuan... You see, she is from the Department of Business Administration, so she is naturally good at managing the tribe, plus she has studied so many other professional electives, and she will definitely have no problem leading the tribe to learn some initial skill trees."
Di Wen, who had just put away the sun-dried leather, clenched his fist with his right hand, and tapped Wen Erbai's head lightly with the knuckle bone of his index finger: "I know what you're thinking, put away your little thoughts for me at this time." Come on, there are so many things to do in the clan. Besides the initial skill tree, I can do it too."
Wen Erbai touched the place where he was knocked, and pouted to protest: "Boss, you are really weak. You can drag it back and forth for hundreds of years with just a single sentence. This is a rare opportunity, I If I don't urge you, I really don't know if you will never be able to speak out for the rest of your life."
Hearing this, Di Wen was stunned for a while, and then slowly said: "Our life is very long."
"No matter how old you are, you can't ruin it like this." Wen Erbai looked like he hated iron and steel: "Boss, think about it, it's been hundreds of years, Bu Nuan doesn't even have a partner, this is already God's gift to you The biggest blessing is that you are still hesitant until now, and you won’t even have a place to cry when she is chased away in the future.”
"Okay, go to work!"
Wen Erbai just rolled his eyes and took seven or eight clansmen out for routine collection. Di Wen didn't know what he was thinking, but he just put away the leather that had been processed, and then hugged a piece of waste wood in his hand Here, stone knives and bone knives are slowly cutting out the shape.During the period, she didn't even hear the people passing by called her, which made the people confused.Afterwards, he reported Di Wen's abnormality to Wen Erbai, and Wen Erbai just said that he knew it without any more interest.
……
It has been more than half a month since the opening of the Jushi tribe, and the newcomers have perfectly integrated into the Di tribe, and they usually know what to do without telling them.No, after dinner early in the morning, everyone got busy.
Di Wen spent a morning making a few simple wooden spindles.
Although it takes a long time, the structure is actually very simple, that is, use tools such as bone knives and stone knives to cut wood chips into a disc shape, dig a hole in the middle, and then pass a small straight wooden stick through the middle to fix it.Punch a hole at one end of the stick, and draw a few circles of depressions on the stick where needed.
The reason why it took so much time is that it takes some effort to cut the disc.The rounder the disk is, the smoother the spindle will turn when the time comes.
The previous bark ropes could be rubbed by hand because the requirements for the rope were not meticulous, but if you want to spin some thin fibers into threads, you can't rub them one by one by hand.The thread rubbed out in that way is not only uneven in thickness, but also a waste of time.
These days, the children have taken good care of the velvet rabbits, not only cleaning them frequently, but also combing them one by one with the wooden comb Wen Erbai made earlier.The combed rabbit fur was also placed in a basket and hung in a cool and ventilated place in the house, where it could not be exposed to the sun, nor could it be damp and rotted.When Di Wen suddenly remembered this matter yesterday, he realized that the rabbit fur had accumulated to a small basket.
So Di Wen thought of the matter of spinning, and didn't know what to do with the rabbit fur.From Di Wen's point of view, it's pretty good to be able to weave a glove after spinning.If this experiment is successful, it's a hot day, and I just went to sharpen the scissors to cut the fur of the pointed-eared velvet rabbit.However, I heard that the skin of rabbits is more sensitive to ultraviolet rays, so I have to ask Wen Erbai, the knowledge base, first about how to shave.
Seeing that Di Wen put a stone pot and poured water on top of the campfire, Di Ye thought that Di Wen was going to cook something, so he came over: "What is the patriarch going to do?"
"Wash rabbit fur." Seeing that Di Ye seemed to have nothing to do for the time being, Di asked her to come over and help her: "Ye, go and get me two buckets, one empty and the other filled with clean water. Remember to take another Two large clean leaves and a gourd."
Wash rabbit fur?
Di Ye saw a basket of rabbit fur beside Di Wen, and knew that these were accumulated by the children who took care of the pointed-eared rabbits these days, but she never knew the reason why the patriarch and Elder Wen asked them to keep the rabbit fur.Di Ye only guessed that the patriarch wanted to do something with these rabbit fur, but didn't think about spinning—in fact, she didn't have this concept either.Now that Di Wen asks her to help with the rabbit fur, she has to study hard on the sidelines.
Because Di Ye knew in his heart that every time the patriarch and Elder Wen did something they didn't understand, it would make the life of the clan better.
So Di Ye didn't hesitate after hearing Di Wen's order, and did as she said.
After Di Wen waited for the water in the stone pot to boil, he poured two scoops of cold water into the empty bucket, and then slowly heated the water to adjust the temperature.When the water temperature is a little hot, put a part of the rabbit fur into it for rinsing, and let the leaves fill up the water in the stone pot and continue to boil.Di Wen dipped his hands into the water, carefully rubbed the clumps of rabbit fur a few times, then gently tore them apart, then continued to rub and tore them apart.
After repeating this for about 10 minutes, the water temperature dropped significantly, so Di Wen picked up the rabbit fur and squeezed out the water, and put it on the clean leaves.The water that washed the rabbit fur became obviously cloudy, so Di Wen poured it down to the lower ground.The dumped dirty water flowed along the terrain to the wall, and then flowed out of the station along the specially dug drainage ditch beside the wall.
After cleaning the barrel briefly, Di Wen repeated the previous work.
Since there was only water and no other cleaning materials, Di Wen washed it seven or eight times before the rabbit fur was completely washed. When the rabbit fur was picked up for the last time, the broken fluff floating in the water except for the fingernails came out. There is no other dirt.Then Di Wen gently tore apart the rabbit fur, spread it on the big leaves as evenly as possible, and let Ye put her in a shaded place with a backlight to dry naturally.
Drying in direct sunlight will affect the flexibility of the rabbit fur, and in the worst case, it will even lose its soft touch and become brittle, making it impossible to spin.Di Wen didn't know if the fur of the pointed-eared velvet rabbit also had this characteristic, but it was never wrong to be careful.
With Ye's help, the whole basket of rabbit fur was washed five times. Finally, in order to avoid changing weather conditions, they were all moved to Di Wen's house.The houses on the left and right are big enough, and only Di Wen, Wen Erbai, Hua Hua and a new girl named Guo Zi live there.
It would take a few days for the rabbit fur to dry, so Di Wen had to take the spindle and try to see if he could spin hemp thread. If not, Wen Erbai had to teach the people how to spin the thread.
It has been several months since I came here, and the sleeves and trouser legs of Di Wen, Di Yan, who often go hunting, and Di Shu, who was once attacked by wild wolves, are not complete.For jobs like Diye Dixi and Wen Erbai who don't need to fight, the outermost circles of the sleeves and trouser legs are almost worn out. It's time to get some new clothes to wear.
Di Wen just mentioned this matter to Wen Erbai not long ago. At that time, Wen Erbai patted her chest and promised that she would be able to get a loom out, so she spent her spare time there carefully peeling off various parts. Parts, from time to time I can see her beating there.Wen Erbai said that after finishing the last few parts, the whole loom can be assembled.
When the finished linen comes out, Wen Erbai doesn't need to bother making clothes. Di Wen, who has been doing tasks in various worlds all year round, can make weapons with just a handy thing, and can also skillfully make some simple, comfortable and easy-to-move clothes The clothes here couldn't be more suitable.
Thinking of this, Di Wen suddenly felt that her luck was really good. If there was no Wen Erbai, the development of the tribe would not know how long it would have been delayed under her own repeated trials—at least if there were no such things as looms. As for the blueprints, Di Wen would never be able to make them.
Walking into the arbor specially set up for everyone to work, Di Wen saw that apart from the children who had been wandering around the rabbit pen, the hunting team led by Di Yan, the exploration team led by Wen Erbai, and a few people who went out to cut trees Everyone outside sat cross-legged on the ground, twisting the bark rope in their hands, and chatting with the people around them from time to time.
"Patriarch."
"The patriarch is here!"
"Has the patriarch finished washing the rabbit fur?"
When everyone saw Di Wen, they greeted him one after another.
Di Wen also chatted with everyone and took a look at their work results.I saw that the rubbed bark ropes were neatly tied to the shelves one by one, and the shelves were subdivided according to thickness, which made Di Wen feel very comfortable.Needless to say, Ye Hexi must have asked them to do this.Di Ye is probably due to the reason of "sorting and sorting now, and you can choose according to thickness when you use it later", while Di Xi is 100% due to the factor of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Di Wen found two ropes that were as thick as index fingers, and selected more than twenty ropes that were only one-fifth of the thickness of the two, and stretched them left and right on his hands for a few times.
She would take these things because she suddenly remembered that there was a lot of grass left after the clan built houses for the new clansmen. After these days, they were all dried up in the sun, and it was useless to put them there for the time being. seat.
Di Wen thought about weaving straw mats before, but was always delayed by such and other things, and now he finally has time to do it.
