To make straw sandals, you can rummage through the corners of your home with hemp ropes, and you can still find several.
But straw, reeds or bamboo and hemp are hard to find. After three years of famine, many large trees with strong water storage capacity have died, let alone these things.
Some people still had some left at home, or they made some out of the straw above the cowshed.
When farmers have rare opportunities to raise cattle, they will build a small, square cowshed. There are many rice straws piled on top of the cowshed, making it look like a tall hill.
However, there are only a few cattle owners in the county, and not everyone can afford to raise high-priced cattle.
Ning Jingxi thought distressedly, "Sister, let me think about it, there should be other places that can be used to grow things."
Thinking, thinking, the little girl hesitated and said, "How about when we pass by someone's house, see if there is any extra straw outside, and we can secretly pull out a handful."
Shen Jun laughed dumbly, "It's not necessary to be like this."
Those who didn’t know it thought it was really a very rare thing.
But seeing that the little girl seemed to really want to teach him how to weave straw sandals, Shen Jun sneaked into the mall to take a look.
This time, I unexpectedly found that the raw materials were actually sold in the mall, and the prices were extremely low, as if they were given free of charge.
Complete straw sandals are handicrafts with extremely high prices.
Pure raw materials are useless waste products, and there is no point for every pound. You must know that this is not weighed on the scale.
Should it be said that the labor cost is too expensive?
Shen Jun thinks that the more important thing is that you can't make much money selling raw materials, and being a middleman is the most profitable.
Seeing Jing Ningxi's expectant look, Shen Jun still spent a few points to exchange for some raw materials in the mall.
Of course, in such a public occasion, she couldn't take it out directly.
Shen Jun comforted Jing Jingxi and said, "It's okay. When I passed by before, I seemed to vaguely see something suitable for weaving straw sandals not far away. I'll get some back later."
"Really?"
Ning Jingxi asked in surprise, "Is there really such a thing in this wilderness?"
Although it is very close to Baiyun Village, it is still a bit rare to find something that can be used to weave straw sandals in a place like this.
"Um."
Shen Jun looked calm and said, "Although this place is somewhat far away from Baiyun Village, after all, there are fields cultivated by villagers nearby, so it is normal to find some raw materials."
"It does seem to make some sense."
Ning Jingxi was a little inexperienced and was easily fooled by Shen Jun.
But later on, she couldn't help but murmured in a low voice, "I always feel like sister, you are deceiving a child."
Shen Jun. I heard this sentence clearly. But he pretended not to hear.
He just added silently in his heart. I was indeed lying to the child, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Only a seven or eight-year-old child like this would believe such nonsensical nonsense.
But in the final analysis, Ning Chongchen's family was pretty good. As his daughter, Ning Ningxi was naturally pampered and grew up.
Since he was a child, he had no shortage of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Naturally, no child from a real farm could be brought up to understand these things.
It is quite unexpected that he knows how to weave straw sandals.
Shen Jun was about to find an excuse to send Ning Jingxi away and find a deserted place to exchange the raw materials for weaving straw sandals and tonight's food.
Just as she was thinking about it and preparing to take action, she bumped into An Wan and Li Yan who were coming back.
Shen Jun took a special look at An Wan's steps and found that An Wan also started to walk with a slight limp.
But maybe he was afraid of dragging down the large army, and also afraid that people like Shen Jun would be worried, so he never said anything.
At the same time, he endured the discomfort in his feet and followed Li Yan out for a walk, hoping to see if he could find some food to bring back.
Shen Jun raised his eyebrows. This was indeed something he had neglected.
I am used to this kind of constant running around. I almost forgot that An Wan was a completely authentic ancient person, but also an ancient person who didn't walk around very often and lacked some exercise.
After taking this trip today, it was indeed a bit overwhelming for him.
"Jun'er, I'm really sorry. Li Yan and I couldn't find anything to eat."
"It's okay." Shen Jun said, "It's normal to not be able to find him at this time."
An Wan still felt a little uncomfortable, and she still wanted to contribute.
"Next time mother goes out to look for it, maybe she can find a lot of good things. There's no rush." Shen Jun did not directly tell An Wan that there was no need to do this.
Although they are not short of food, this is An Wan's heart.
And doing this kind of thing will make An Wan feel better.
After all, in An Wan's heart, she felt that she was still a mother, but in the end, she couldn't help at all.
Not only was he unable to help, but he had to rely on his daughter to eat and drink to survive.
This will be very uncomfortable psychologically for her.
It would be better to let her go out and do some work. Even if it can't help her, at least it will make her feel better psychologically.
Shen Jun understands this mentality very well. It is a panic mentality of fear of adding burden to others and fear of being useless.
So she doesn't stop.
"Besides, besides, we actually brought some. We actually brought some dry food for those who need to finish it early. The dry food that needs to be finished early is actually not big at the moment. We need to go out to find food."
An Wan nodded upon hearing this.
Shen Jun added, "By the way, Jingxi just came to see you, probably to learn how to comb your hair."
"Really?"
"Um."
Shen Jun pushed An Wan away and found something for him to divert his attention.
Then he turned around and went to find a place to exchange straw.
Shen Ju quickly returned to the place where they were currently staying with a large handful of exchanged straw and some hemp ropes.
A blazing fire was lit around it with dry branches.
Ning Jingxi grabbed the straw and showed Shen Jun and the others while explaining like a little adult.
"Actually, weaving straw sandals is a very simple matter. First, we have to come up with something..."
Ning Ningxi was very happy in front of the master. Xue Xian was distracted for a moment, and Ning Ningxi pointed out sternly.
"Uncle Xue, you have to listen to the class carefully! If you don't listen well in class, you will bring down the underachievers!"
Although the little girl worked very hard, she was still a child after all, so the words were actually a bit general.
However, Li Yan next to him understood the ability quite quickly. After watching it for a while, he suddenly realized, "So this is it. I finally understood this step."
Li Yan had seen villagers at the foot of the mountain weaving straw sandals before, but he had not seen the complete process, and he did not understand the first few steps.
