The next morning.
Sure enough, as Yang Cheng expected yesterday, the sky was gloomy and raindrops fell like small beads.
The rain fell on the roof of the stone house of the Qingque tribe, falling along the tiles, like a curtain of water, falling to the ground, splashing into flowers and ripples.
This is the first time that everyone in the Qingque tribe has seen the house when it rains.
Everyone was attracted by the wonderful scene of rain falling from the eaves.
The noise in the tribe in the past has disappeared, and there is only the pleasant sound of raindrops on the tiles. The entire tribe is immersed in this quiet and beautiful atmosphere.
Even the always noisy Yanlin and the other beast-eared girls were quietly holding their heads and sitting on the threshold, watching the raindrops falling along the eaves, forming lines, strips, and finally falling to the ground.
Yang Cheng glanced at them a few times, then stared at the rainy scene outside the house in a daze, immersed in his thoughts.
A rainy day is a great time to think.
After waiting for a while, it was noon.
The rain dropped a lot, and Yang Cheng led the beast-eared girls into the warehouse house.
Last night, realizing that it would rain, Yang Cheng had already had the dried ramie stalks transported back to the warehouse.
Compared with the humid environment outside the house, the inside of the warehouse seems much drier, because Yang Cheng has long been in the warehouse often, knocking stones and collecting lime.
Although inhaling too much lime is not good and can cause damage to the throat and lungs, considering that ordinary people in this world have extremely strong physical fitness, this issue does not need to be taken into consideration at all.
The ten members of the Living Department from yesterday have arrived, and they are sorting out the divided ramies.
"Come all over."
Yang Cheng clapped his hands and gathered everyone together.
"Today's task is very simple, which is to peel off the bark of the ramie stalks."
Yang Cheng held a stalk and said to everyone.
After the tossing in the previous steps, the ramie stems were divided into long strips, but the stem bark is still there. The stem bark is an unnecessary material and needs to be separated from the stem.
"good!"
Yan Lin and Xing were very quiet while watching the rain scene, but they were still very anxious when doing things. When they heard that today's task was to peel off stems, they agreed, took a stem and started peeling it off.
Yang Cheng smiled and didn't stop him.
But he stopped the others' movements, and under their doubtful gazes, he indicated that they could watch Yan Lin and Xing working together.
To say that Yan Lin and Xing were impatient, they were still very serious about their work.
Yang Cheng and others watched them working. The two of them didn't pay attention at all, they were just tossing around with the stalks.
Yan Lin and Xing's method of peeling off the bark of the stem is very primitive and simple, which is to press their fingernails on it.
The stems produced by this method are very unsightly. The bark of the stems is intermittent and sticks together. The fingernails of the two beast-eared girls at the back are all green.
"Witch, it's not easy to peel..."
Yan Lin saw that her fingernails were full of chips, which were extremely ugly, so she subconsciously raised her head and complained.
When he looked up, he saw that Wu and the others were not working and were just looking at the two of them.
"Hahaha……"
Seeing the embarrassment of Yan Lin and Xing, Yang Cheng burst out laughing. Although the other ordinary tribesmen did not dare to laugh loudly, they covered their mouths and laughed until their bodies were shaking.
"witch!"
Being laughed at by the witch leader, Xing angrily put down the ramie stalks in his hands, and Yan Lin did the same.
Yang Cheng put one hand on one head, rubbed their hair, and said with a smile:
"Hey, okay, okay, you two guys didn't even listen to what I said before you started. You want to remove the bark from the stems. You need tools."
"tool?"
Everyone was curious.
Yang Cheng didn't show off, and took out a small package and opened it in front of everyone. Inside was the tool he asked Lulu to bake last night.
Everyone hurriedly looked inside Yang Cheng's opened package, and then were stunned.
Inside are rings of almost the same size. These rings are divided into two types, one is a thumb-sized pottery ring that is similar to a jade wrench finger;
The other one is smaller, also in the shape of a circle, but with a raised triangle at one end. The tip of the triangle is polished and shiny, with the sharpness of a blade.
"Wu, what is this?" Yan Lin asked curiously.
"These are the tools for peeling off stems."
As Yang Cheng answered, he picked up a ring and put it on his thumb, explaining: "This is called a thumb ring. It is used to protect the fingers."
Then Yang Cheng put four triangular rings on his other fingers.
"This, um... you can call it a skinning knife. It's used for skinning. Come on, let me show you how to use these tools."
Yang Cheng picked up a ramie stalk, pointed its fresh green skin surface towards the sharp triangle, pressed the hemp with the iron wrench on his thumb, and pulled out the hemp with force with his other hand. The hemp was trapped between the iron wrench and the blade. The force slid over, and the useless green skin on the surface of the hemp was removed at once.
Seeing how easily Yang Cheng separated the stem bark from the stem.
Yan Lin and others' eyes widened, with incredible expressions on their faces.
Is this okay? It's that simple?
Yan Lin took the separated stem from Yang Cheng's hand in disbelief and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, the peel was very clean, and it looked many times better than the one she peeled just now.
"Wu, since you have such a powerful thing, why didn't you take it out earlier and just watch the two of us laugh?"
Yan Lin felt extremely wronged.
"Haha, didn't I tell you just now? Why are you two so anxious?"
Yang Cheng laughed and rubbed Yan Lin's head again.
The next thing was easy. With these finger-shaped tools, everyone speeded up. It took more than an hour to separate the ramie stems and bark.
Then Yang Chengcheng announced that he would eat and do things again in the afternoon.
Although everyone wanted to know what Yang Cheng wanted to do next, their health was their capital and their stomachs had to be full.
The rain outside has almost stopped.
The sky cleared up and the sky was exceptionally clear after the rain.
However, everyone in the Qingque tribe just admired it for a while and then no longer had the intention to appreciate it. After being slightly scolded by Yang Cheng yesterday.
No one dared to ask more about the baby, and they didn't know what Yang Cheng was doing in the warehouse with a group of people in the morning. Everyone was curious and itchy in their hearts.
Seeing Yang Cheng bringing Yan Lin and others over for dinner, his eyes lit up and he wanted to go over and ask how his "baby" was doing. However, Yang Cheng led Yan Lin and others to finish the meal quickly and left immediately. went.
As a result, everyone in the tribe had no chance to ask, so they became more curious and uncomfortable.
