Chapter 35 The Most Primitive Loom

"Yun, you will teach everyone the skills of making fish cards tomorrow, is it okay?"

After eating and drinking, Wu began to make demands on Fengyun.

"No problem. ”

"Very good. Hello to you, I think everyone will remember. ”

"Wu, I also want everyone to help with something, I don't know if it's okay?"

"Tell me what? ”

There was a hint of nervousness in Wu's expression.

He was a little worried that he would make a request that would embarrass him, and he couldn't refuse him outright.

"It's not a big deal. I want everyone to help me dig up some wild vegetables. ”

"It turned out to be digging wild vegetables. ”

Wu relaxed.

"What do you want wild vegetables for?"

"Eat. I'm going to store some wild vegetables and save them for the winter. ”

"It's going to be winter, it's still a long time coming, and if it's winter, won't all the wild vegetables rot?"

"I'm going to marinate them. Once marinated, there is no problem at all with storing it into winter. ”

"How much are you going to want?"

"A lot. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked everyone for help, I'll just dig it myself. ”

"No problem. I'll tell you about it tomorrow. They shouldn't refuse, after all, it's not a difficult task, it just takes some time. ”

Wu agreed to Fengyun's request.

"Oh no, no......"

Bamboo suddenly rushed in, shouting loudly as he ran.

"Bamboo, you drink saliva first, and speak slowly. There is nothing that cannot be solved. ”

Fengyun handed over a bowl of water.

Knock Knock Knock......

Bamboo took the bowl and gulped it down.

"Brother Lei was surrounded by everyone. ”

Bamboo was visibly relaxed, and his words were clear.

"Why did everyone surround Lei Boy? He didn't do anything to offend everyone. ”

Shaking his head violently, he was puzzled.

"If I'm not mistaken, everyone is surrounding Brother Lei because of the fish, right?"

Fengyun gives his inference.

Fish, when everyone came back, they brought back some of them, and the rest, after eating, Ray offered to bring them all back, and he went to get them all back.

"Yun, you guessed it, it's because of the fish. ”

Bamboo nodded.

"Wu, this matter still has to be done by you. ”

Fengyun turned his head, looked at Wu, and asked him for help.

"It's my job, and if you don't say I'll go. ”

Wu stood up and walked out.

Fengyun didn't follow the past, and decided to stay and wait for the result, he didn't want to involve himself.

It wasn't long, about a quarter of an hour.

Wu's figure reappeared, followed by Thunder, he was a little embarrassed, his face was flushed, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his breathing was a little short.

"Cloud, I didn't bring back the fish, but I've already told you. Whoever gets the fish needs to bring in twenty times as much wild vegetables within three days. You don't have a problem with me doing this, right?"

"The witch handled it very well. I have no opinion. ”

Wu didn't get the fish back, and Fengyun was not surprised.

Rare things are expensive, and many people in the tribe have never eaten fish at all, and now they see so many fish, where will they let go.

Forcibly taking the fish back may cause a riot, which is Wu and what he does not want to see.

"Yun, I'll go back first. ”

After sitting for a while, Wu stood up.

"Wu, wait a minute. ”

Fengyun followed and stood up and stopped Wu.

"Cloud, is there anything else you can do?"

"I'm not going to do the thing of teaching the skills of making fish cards, I want Brother Lei and Takeshiro to do it, it's not complicated anyway, and I can say it clearly. ”

"Why?"

Wu frowned slightly, obviously a little dissatisfied.

He asked Fengyun to teach everyone the skills of making fish cards, not only because he was the inventor of the fish card, but also because he could say it more clearly, but also because there was a more important consideration.

He wanted to use this to establish Fengyun's position and prestige among the tribe.

In this way, one day, when he declares him the leader of the tribe, everyone will not oppose him, they will support him, and they will be able to unite and make the tribe move towards a real revival, and even create unprecedented glory.

"Wu, you misunderstood. I'm not doing this to be lazy. ”

Fengyun was keenly aware of Wu's displeasure and felt the need to explain a little.

"Oh?"

"I want to hurry up and make a hook. Now that I'm the only one who can make hooks, I want to make more hooks with a little more time so that people can catch fish as quickly as possible. ”

The main thing is that he wants to make some deals with people with a fishhook, and the next thing he wants to do, he can't do alone.

"Yun, I understand your intentions, you are thinking about the tribe. Okay, let Ray and Bamboo teach you how to make fish cards instead of you. Well, you can't do it for nothing, whoever wants a hook, you can make some requests, as long as it's not too excessive. I went back. ”

"Wu, don't leave yet. I have one more thing to say. ”

Fengyun stopped Wu again.

"What's the matter?"

"I have nothing to do, I have come up with a new material for making clothes, and I want you to see if there is any value in promoting it. ”

"What is the new material for making clothes? Show me. ”

Wu appeared very interested and asked urgently.

Dressing is a problem that has always bothered him, and he has thought about it a lot, but he still can't think of a solution.

Hides can be used as a material to make clothes, but the treatment technology is not up to par, the smell is particularly unpleasant, and there are problems with mildew and insects.

Many people are reluctant to accept it, and they even prefer to cover their bodies with clothes made of leaves unless necessary.

As for the skins of brute beasts, no one wants to use them for clothing.

In general, they are relatively thick, and when they are dried, they become very hard, making them too difficult to make.

Even if it is barely made into clothes, it is extremely uncomfortable to wear on the body, not only awkward, but also wears out the skin.

Now that I heard that Fengyun has new materials for making clothes, for Wu, it is simply a long drought.

In fact, not only him, but Storm, Lei and Zhu are also very much looking forward to it, and the problem of dressing has always plagued them.

"Wait a minute. I'll go get it. ”

Fengyun turned and walked into the room, and everyone's eyes followed him, and if it wasn't for his best efforts, they might all follow him closely.

A moment later, Fengyun walked out of the room, and there was one more thing in his hand, a sheet the size of a handkerchief.

Everyone's eyes were all focused on the flake, and they didn't blink, they all wanted to see it clearly, clearly.

"Wu, this is linen, and the cloth is the name I gave it, and it is called linen because it is spun from the skin of a plant I named hemp. ”

Fengyun explained while handing the piece of linen in his hand to Wu.

"Good, good ......"

Wu gently stroked/stroked the piece of linen, and the movements were extremely gentle, like it was some peerless treasure, and the slightest force in his hand would break it.

"Wu, don't patronize yourself, let me open my eyes. ”

Seeing that Wu had been holding the sackcloth piece in his hand, he was a little unhappy, and stretched out his big hand to ask for it.

"Here you go. ”

Wu handed the sackcloth to the tyranny, but he looked very reluctant.

"Yes, it's soft, and if it can be made into clothes, it will be comfortable to wear. ”

Tighten the five fingers, let the linen piece and the palm fully contact, feel its texture, very satisfied.

"Boy Lei, you can feel it too. ”

Storm handed the sackcloth to Ray.

Ray looked and looked, touched and touched, and then handed him to Bamboo.

Bamboo returned it to Fengyun again.

"Yun boy, the new material you made is really good, but it's so small that it can't even cover half an arm. ”

Storm looked at Fengyun and showed an approving expression, but there was also regret in the praise.

"Storm, you still don't know enough about Yun, he will take out the pieces of linen, which means that he has mastered the method of making larger pieces of linen. ”

Wu disagrees with Tyranny.

"Yun boy, is what Wu said true?"

Storm asked Fengyun directly, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Yes. ”

Fengyun did not disappoint Bang and gave a positive answer.

"Really? great. Tell me how you did that?"

Storm stepped to Fengyun's side in two steps, eager to know the answer.

"Wait for me in a moment. ”

Fengyun walked into the room again, and soon, he walked out, holding a stool-like object in his hand.

"That's the tool I use to weave linen. ”

Fengyun placed the things in his hand on the table.

Everyone, including Wu Du, hula, hula, hula, craned their necks, and carefully examined the objects on the table.

They found that there was no stool surface above the stool, but instead there were thin straight lines that ran parallel to each other.

Above the thin thread is a long object, pointed at both ends, and a thin thread attached to it, which is connected to the corner of the stool.

"Cloud boy, how should I use this thing?"

The tyrant scrutinized the object on the table, but still couldn't figure out how it worked.

"Storm, you still haven't looked at things carefully enough. From what I've observed, this long strip should be the key. Cloud, I'm not wrong, am I?"

Wu looked at Fengyun and said his judgment.

"Wu, you're right. In fact, it is not difficult to weave linen, as long as this is the case, the shuttle ......"

Fengyun picked up the long strip of object and demonstrated.

He first passed it between the two thin threads closest to him, then between the second and third threads, followed by the third and fourth......

The thin threads pulled by the shuttle are intertwined with the thin threads.

On the other side, Fengyun pulls the line to the end of the parallel line, tightens, and then uses the same method to bring the shuttle back to the starting side along the gap between the lines.

The next step is the repetition of the action.

Fengyun's movements are very skillful and very fast, and even afterimages appear.

It didn't take long for the thin thread attached to the shuttle to run out.

He untied the thread from the shuttle, took another thread, and joined it together, while the other end of the thread was re-tied to the shuttle.

Fengyun began a new round of weaving.

Although at this time, everyone saw the weaving process clearly, they had no intention of letting the wind and clouds stop.

They all had the idea of seeing a piece of linen woven in front of them.

After about an hour, the storm stopped, and what appeared to everyone was a sackcloth almost the same size as the one he had taken out earlier.
