The spinning wheel did not turn. Instead, there was the sound of tearing flax and making thread.
Wooden implements were clashing, knocking, and interlaced.
The Jingwei bird stood on the window sill of the textile room, quietly looking at Yuqian who was working inside.
Silkworms do not spin silk all year round, so plants such as hemp are also the source of cloth. The hemp retting technology in the Zhou Dynasty was very good. There is an allusion to the East Gate Pond in the Book of Songs.
As for the textile machine, in addition to the most primitive spinning wheel, in this era, there is no need to invent the "original waist machine".
The weaving process involves the completion of five major movements: shedding, weft insertion, beat-up, take-up, and warp let-off. The components on the loom were continuously improved based on these movement settings. Therefore, in ancient China, the loom was It has been studied since the time of the Yellow Emperor. This piece of machinery is one of the typical strengths of ancient China that surpassed other civilizations.
The original waist machine appeared in the middle and late Neolithic Age. According to legends between mountains and seas, it was invented and figured out by Leizu, Boyu, Hu Cao and other three weaving ministers.
This kind of loom does not have a frame, but has two crossbars at the front and back. One end of the cloth rolling shaft is tied to the waist. Both feet hold the warp beam at the other end and tension the fabric. People replace the frame. Therefore, the "waist machine" is called "waist machine". Hence the name.
The women of the Akakata clan were working hard to weave linen using primitive waist looms. At this time, a burst of happy shouts came from outside.
Because of helping the Ganpan clan, the three of them often traveled between Ganpan and Chifang. Danzhu came back recently because Yuzai needed his help and planned some new equipment. Of course, Danzhu Zhu himself was very happy!
Akakata clan is simply a paradise for mechanical dogs!
Danzhu has no idea that his father is throwing a tantrum in the Central Plains and is preparing to clean up his affairs. Now Danzhu only thinks about those special instruments that have not been completely made, whether they are heavy trucks, Or an oil press, don’t worry about it!
Yu Qian and others poked their heads out to take a look, and saw that the pounding cart Danzhu mentioned had been successfully made, and Yu Yu was letting the stone cow pull the thing and run around.
"It's really good. These tools made by witches are very convenient."
"It's also because Brother Hong's craftsmanship is very good. They learned beams, vertical beams, and columns very well."
"I heard from the witch that we also need new objects here?"
"That's great... When will the new textile machine arrive?"
The women are looking forward to the arrival of the new textile equipment. Previously, Nuzai made a small spinning wheel in single-player mode. This thing is very simple and is also an old item. For a guy like Yuzai who has strong hands-on ability, it is not a big deal. Too difficult...
Sometimes, when it comes to things like work, you just have to be forced to do it. If you don’t force yourself to do it, you won’t even know you can do it.
Everyone knows how to draw, so if you have the skills, you can do it!
Yu Zai said, I'm done, I can do it!
This small spinning wheel is the spiritual sacred object and sustenance of the women of the Akagata clan. They believe in the wizard. Although the wizard is very young, since he came to Nanqiu, his life has become better and better day by day, and his life has become more and more comfortable. The emergence of equipment has made up for the lack of manpower, allowing one person to do the work of two people, or even five or six people.
The emergence of tools and equipment is to liberate a certain amount of labor.
Yuqian turned her head, and the Jingwei bird jumped on her shoulder.
"The ancestors also felt the presence of witches, so they flew here and found their hometown?"
"Qian, don't say she is an ancestor! Mr. Qiao said that this Jingwei is Wu's sister!"
"Ah, I'm rude!"
The women laughed and apologized to the Jingwei Bird.
Yuqian already knew why the Jingwei bird came close to her, Wu had already told it.
Mostly because of the child in her belly.
"Infected child, I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to me, it's like a dream... Is it a boy or a girl? Jingwei is here, it should be a girl."
Yu Qian was actually a little afraid of this child at first, but now, she is vaguely looking forward to it.
This child is very special and strange. Her abdomen is only slightly bulging even now.
Will this child be of great use to the tribe?
Will she be a symbol?
Yuqian had a vague hunch that when this child was born, the bluestone of the ancestral land would surely shine with brilliance.
This time should be soon...according to the time of conception...this child should be born in the spring of next year.
Yu Qian was a little excited, a little happy, and a little nervous.
Jingwei came here for the witchcraft and her hometown. Of course, she came here for the baby in her belly that had not yet come to the world.
"Goojiji!"
Guzi suddenly appeared here, running over specifically to find Jingwei, but Jingwei jumped down from the window sill, and the two birds jumped and played on the ground.
"Look, why is Wu's sister playing so well with Guzi?"
"Jingwei is Jingwei. Although Guzi was born from the fire and should be an alien beast, no matter how alien he is, he is just a chicken..."
The girls began to tease Guzi kindly, because Mr. Qiao said that Jingwei would only have children with Haiyan.
And Guzi is really too young.
On this day, the young Guzi felt the malice from time.
"Gugu..."
Why can't I grow up?
So after Guzi experienced what happened on this day, he immediately ran to find Mamazai.
But Yuanzai and the wizards were preparing to leave for the area of public rapeseed fields that everyone had planned and determined. When Guzi ran over, a wizard immediately recognized it!
"Isn't it the awesome chicken that pecked Archer to death in the summer?"
Guzi: "Guji!"
pride!
Wizard Yan Yu said, and then asked strangely: "Why hasn't it grown up yet?"
It was like a heavy hammer hitting Guzi's head, and Guzi's face darkened immediately.
"Yes, this chick has been around for a long time, why hasn't it grown up yet?"
"It is said that this chicken is a strange beast and can breathe fire?"
"Then it should be grown up. It doesn't take much time for a bird to grow up."
The wizards' voices made Guzi extremely aggrieved.
Gujijiji!
Why can't I grow up!
"Maybe I need to exercise more to release the accumulated strength?"
Ruanzai touched his chin and decided to go to open up wasteland this time and take Guzi with him.
This time we set fire to open up fields. After cutting down trees, the land needs to be burned again before it can be opened up.
"When I was young, I longed to grow up, and when I grew up, I longed to go back to my childhood. Life... turns out they are all the same."
Yuzai suddenly said this out of nowhere.
But today's Guzi cannot understand the mood of this "adult" period.
It just wants to grow up quickly so that it can play with Jingwei without being carried around and watched by Slippers. When it grows up, it can also control its own power, so that it can have more friends to play with. Let’s play together! Everyone is running around on the ridges of the fields. Ha, I feel very happy just thinking about it!
Ruanzai looked at Guzi who was happy and imagined that he had grown up, but a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.
Our footsteps fell in the mud. After walking for a long time, we arrived at the predetermined mountains and fields.
Guzi had already fallen asleep in Yuzai's pocket, but the little Guzi looked very happy and peaceful.
In the mountains and fields, Yuzai saw a place in the distance, leaning against the water flow.
There are pieces of rapeseed flowers that have not yet bloomed, living under the trees and beside the water.
That was what childhood looked like in a dream.
