Straw rope is very easy to weave. Song Xuan made it on the first day he came up with the idea. He tied one end to a wooden stake and made the other end tens of meters long.
Although it was only as thick as a baby's wrist, it was impossible to tear it off. Even Song Xuan asked two people to pull it, but they couldn't break it.
Although this kind of result can be achieved with animal skin rope and hemp rope, and they are much thinner than him, they are not as easy to obtain as straw, and you don't have to worry about what will happen if it breaks.
However, straw ropes will definitely not be used extensively in tribes. After all, the scope of application is relatively narrow, and there are things that can be substituted. The most important thing is that it is quite time-consuming to weave them. Except in winter, it is not usually possible for everyone. You have to squeeze in some time, unless you prepare more in advance, but once the straw comes into contact with water, it will easily rot. Although I will pay some attention to it when I compile it, it is not easy to put it in the house.
It would still be distressing enough if the straw ropes that he had worked so hard to weave failed to be used at a critical moment, so Song Xuan didn't think about preparing too much and just got a few bundles just in case.
The main focus must be on the straw sandals. Song Xuan also mobilized the women in the tribe to help him weave. As long as you master the method, it is not difficult to weave, but it has the same shortcomings as straw ropes, and the straw sandals take a long time to be used. It won't be too long. According to everyone's frequency of use, Song Xuan estimates that a few months will be long.
Anyway, there are not many tasks recently. The work of polishing weapons was completed a month ago. The usual training is only half a day at most. With the previous lessons, everyone does not dare to do it too intensely, but now it is possible. It came at a normal pace, and Xueer and the others had already adapted to it.
But after all, it's just daily training. There is no need to spend time on it all day long. Although it will be beneficial, once it reaches a certain level, the gain will be very small.
Half a day is considered to be at the balance point. It can not only keep everyone in good condition, but also allow the women in the tribe to enhance their abilities in the following areas. At the same time, it will not waste too much energy. After all, it is winter, and the tribe has given The food arranged for each person will be less than usual. If you train all day long, you will consume a lot more food.
"Brother Xuan, what do you think of me?"
Looking at the straw sandals in Xue'er's hand, Song Xuan fell into a long silence.
Song Xuan didn't expect that Xue'er had knitted straw sandals that he hadn't knitted for two days, but Xueer made them in one go. The difference in talent was really huge. Although Song Xuan had never used straw sandals before, he didn't even know how to knit them. I can't quite remember the appearance, but I still know something. Xueer got the concept from Song Xuan, and she watched him make a few pairs of ugly straw sandals.
Unexpectedly, it took her two days to get started than Song Xuan, and the straw sandals she made were better-looking, at least from the appearance point of view, they were quite good.
Song Xuan threw the straw sandals in his hand on the ground angrily, but faced Xueer's puzzled eyes, he still forced a smile:
"Okay, you can do it again!"
Under Song Xuan's gaze, Xue'er moved very fast. Even before Song Xuan could see clearly how it was made, the straw sandals already had a rough shape. After a while, a straw sandal with basically the same appearance appeared. In the hands of Xueer:
"Brother Xuan, look!"
Seeing that Xue'er was not fooled, Song Xuan had no choice but to give up the idea of continuing to ponder, told Xue'er to teach him the method to others, and then ran out.
Xue'er was also a little troubled. It was obviously a very simple thing, but why did Brother Xuan still make it so ugly after thinking about it for two days.
However, she didn't think about attacking Song Xuan, and even used Song Xuan's name when teaching others.
However, Shi Meng and others who were training outside at this time saw Song Xuan's strength. Although everyone did not know what happened, they had to endure it silently.
After venting, Song Xuan remembered that he had not tried on the straw sandals knitted by Xue'er yet, so he had to run back silently. After wearing them on his feet, although he did not feel that comfortable, as long as he got used to it, he should It's not a problem, and the pair of shoes that traveled through time with Song Xuan were already in tatters.
The shoes at the back are always made of animal skins. Although they are also ugly, the soles of the feet have something after all. If you have straw sandals in the future, you can use straw sandals instead. You can also wrap key parts with animal skins, so The use time will also be longer.
Teng She and the others have a new mission. After the beginning of spring, if it were not for a long period of rainy weather, everyone would not be able to find such free time, so they should prepare more straw sandals in advance and put them in the house. The position can be placed slightly higher.
If the quantity is large, you can even free up some supplies separately. As long as you take appropriate protective measures and regularly light the stove inside, it should not be so easy to get damp.
However, straw sandals are still stored on a family basis, which is more convenient. Anyway, there are a lot of places in everyone's house, and the ground in the place Teng She chose is not so easy to get damp. Pay attention to opening the door for ventilation, and basically there will be no problem. questionable.
After all, this thing is a consumable, and the consumption speed should not be too slow. It is still a bit troublesome to store it in a centralized manner. However, what makes Song Xuan happy is that even with Xue'er's teachings, Teng She and the others learned it without any imagination. It was so fast that everyone had to learn it for several days before reluctantly learning it, which could be regarded as helping Song Xuan regain some ground.
After teaching the Tengshe people, Xueer even applied to Song Xuan to teach women from the Wolf Tribe. This time Song Xuan did not refuse. Anyway, this was not confidential information, and there were many people in the Straw Tribe. It wouldn't matter if the women of the Wolf tribe knitted more. At least it would reduce the chance of injuries to the captives, which wouldn't be a bad thing for the tribe. Moreover, if they knew how to knit, they could weave them if necessary. Leave this task to them.
The main reason why this year's Soaring Snake is so relaxed and has basically finished its work halfway through winter is that we have assigned many tasks that the prisoners can do to them. In this way, everyone only needs to be responsible for supervision, and time will take care of itself. The child became rich.
Such things as polishing weapons are all things that prisoners can do. Anyway, in the previous tribe, they would definitely do less work in winter. Song Xuan also observed the weapons of the Wuyu tribe. Although they are not as exquisite as Teng She's, they are It's not much different. It's obviously made with great care and regular maintenance.
It was most appropriate for them to give this task to them, but everyone also knew that there was not much food prepared for the prisoners in winter, so they did not make too many arrangements. They were basically within their ability. Even so, Teng The snake suddenly felt much more relaxed.
We are knitting together now, mainly because we have more time, and everyone wants to prepare the items for next year at once. Even if we don’t count the prisoners of the Wulang tribe, based on one pair per month, we will have to use it at least in a year. Six or seven pairs, Teng She now has more than 200 pairs, so if not a thousand pairs are probably not enough.
However, once you master the production method, weaving straw sandals is still very fast. When Xueer demonstrated to Song Xuan, it only took an hour to make one. Although there is still room for improvement, weaving three or four pairs in one day is not too big. The problem.
In this way, everyone has learned, and I believe that this goal will be achieved soon. However, Song Xuan did not ask everyone to prepare as quickly as possible. The main reason was to let everyone have something to do, and the straw sandals in the tribe are still a bit crude. Next, It can be improved a bit. Of course, Song Xuan will not interfere with this task now. He will leave it all to Xue'er. Obviously she is much more talented than Song Xuan in weaving straw shoes.
Although everyone is saying that wearing straw sandals is a bit uncomfortable. After all, everyone usually has bare feet. Now, although the outside is wrapped in animal skin, it is also very soft. Straw sandals are relatively harder. , even if Song Xuan asked Xueer to find a way to replace the skinny leather strips in the places where friction is more frequent, it would definitely not be as comfortable as wrapping it directly with animal skins.
But everyone also knows that wearing shoes will definitely make it easier to walk in the forest in the future. Everyone in the tribe has been pricked by small branches, and having straw sandals will be more or less better.
So since the first batch of straw sandals were made, everyone has begun to try to adapt in advance. Adapting now is definitely much better than wearing it in the forest later. At least there is definitely no danger in the tribe. If you wait until hunting Wearing it will probably affect the results of everyone's hunting. If nothing else, walking will definitely not be as convenient as wearing bare feet.
