Chapter 60 Making Tofu (3)
Author: Xiyu loves to eat sweets
"Now, I want to make a weaving tool from ancient China, called a loom. In the Blue Star Era, before the Industrial Revolution, China had always been in a feudal society, mainly a small-scale peasant economy."
[We have all learned this. Our ancient Chinese people are really amazing.]
[Why does this look different from the loom in the book?]
[The anchor is going to overturn this time. There are pictures of looms in our history books. These things are obviously not enough parts for the looms.]
...
Xu Haoxuan looked up at the live broadcast room and didn't care, because what he was making was not an ancient loom.
While Xu Haoxuan was talking, five pieces of wood had already been sawed.
"In the era of small-scale peasant economy, weaving was a craft that almost every ancient woman could do. Therefore, almost every household had a loom. What I want to do now is a simplified loom. The function is the same. Looking back, everyone
Just know it.”
Xu Haoxuan attended a children's education class in a human concentration camp at the end of the world. In it, the teacher used a simplified version of the loom to teach the children to weave. He was very interested at the time and learned to make many small things from the carpenter master.
Weaving loom, so he remembered this craft very clearly.
Fortunately, I had learned something for a few days. At that time, everyone was in the mountains and there was no ironclad industrial civilization. The masters used mortise and tenon techniques to complete various woodworking tasks.
The four wooden strips fit together, and Xu Haoxuan carved 10 mm deep lines on the upper and lower wooden strips densely and evenly spaced. The same operation was done on the middle one.
Now, the simple loom is ready, but the required yarn is not yet available.
If you want to make cotton into yarn, an essential process is to first turn the cotton into shredded cotton batting.
To get the shredded cotton wadding, he needed another ancient Chinese tool - a cotton-playing bow.
At present, the bow body for playing cotton is easy to make, but the string is difficult to find.
Theoretically, bowstrings are made of beef tendon. But where can he find beef tendon in this wilderness?
He thought of the mulberry trees he had seen in the woods before, and wondered if he could try his luck to see if there were silkworm chrysalises. If there were silkworm chrysalises with cocoons, he could take them back and boil them to draw silk.
Silk looks very fragile, but it is actually very tough, so it can be used to replace beef tendon.
Xu Haoxuan looked up at the sky. It was time to have lunch, so he had better take care of lunch first.
Li Huajiao was also helping Hua Ling and Wang Tianhao peel the beans, but she chose a higher position to have a better view.
After all, she is the protector of this group of people, so she needs to be vigilant at all times.
"Everyone, stop for a moment. Let's go to the traps in the forest to see if there are any prey. Whether today's lunch will be rich or not depends on the harvest in the traps."
Hua Ling and Wang Tianhao were obviously relieved when Xu Haoxuan said they no longer had to work. They were almost like robots, doing the same work over and over again.
Li Huajiao didn't care, and didn't show anything on her face. It was just her pursed lips that betrayed her heart. People who knew her well should know that Li Huajiao's action showed that she was extremely eager to do something in her heart.
When they arrived in the forest, Xu Haoxuan's eyes brightened at what was in the trap.
There were six rabbits, a goat and a small wild boar inside. They probably fell in accidentally because they were out to play.
Seeing such a rich harvest, Xu Haoxuan happily took out his backpack and put the rabbits in first. The goats and small wild boars were tied up, one in each hand.
"Anchor Xu, let me carry one too."
Wang Tianhao felt that Xu Haoxuan was too good at expressing himself. In front of the two ladies, including his dream lover, he didn't give himself any face. He quickly spoke up and fought for it.
"Okay, you pick one."
Wang Tianhao was self-aware. He saw that the wild boar was smaller, so he chose the wild boar.
Facts have proved that Wang Tianhao was lucky to have chosen the little wild boar. Because he could hardly carry the little wild boar. Fortunately, the camp was relatively close and he was freed quickly.
He didn't carry it, but carried the little wild boar back on his back.
There are a lot of bugs in summer, and there are a lot of ants on dead animals.
The reason why Xu Haoxuan chose to carry it in his hand was because he was afraid of bugs crawling on him. Thinking about it made him feel scared.
[Wang Tianhao really disgraced us spiritual power users. He just chose something light to carry and looked like he was struggling. 】
[You upstairs, don’t stand and talk, okay? If you don’t feel pain in your back, you can do it?]
[Young Master Wang keeps working without any airs and has no regrets. That’s enough. Stop being picky.]
[Admit it, we can’t compare to Brother Xu, okay? 】
...
In the live broadcast room, Xu Haoxuan's fans are very sensible and do not bully others.
Xu Haoxuan's power has already stunned them.
The real fans of Xu Haoxuan are sympathetic to the guests.
Everyone is so outstanding and they are all the pride of heaven. It must be very uncomfortable to be compared to a weakling like Brother Xu who has zero mental strength.
In the camp, Wang Tianhao kept scratching himself, always feeling pain and itching.
Xu Haoxuan saw him and quickly took him to the waterside.
"Mr. Wang, I saw a lot of ants on your back. You need to wash them in the water."
"Here, here, I, I'm going to get a change of clothes."
Guests can bring their own clothes to change, so Wang Tianhao went to get the clothes like a shy little daughter-in-law.
Xu Haoxuan took Wang Tianhao to a place upstream. Since they had to be within Li Huajiao's sight, Wang Tianhao kept asking Xu Haoxuan if he would be seen out.
"Mr. Wang, I'm watching you from the shore. If anything happens, I'll shout and the God of War will know."
"Then what if I happen to be naked when you call me?"
"Mr. Wang, if you don't wash up, we will go back."
"No, no, can't I wash it?"
The viewers in the live broadcast room did not intentionally want to watch Wang Tianhao take a shower, because the live broadcast light ball will automatically block similar scenes.
But I couldn't stand Wang Tianhao's nonsense. He still didn't take a shower, and he didn't block the light ball.
[So you are such a prince...]
[What should I do if I feel that Mr. Wang is cute for no reason...]
[Hurry up, Mr. Wang, we are all starving to death...]
Finally, Wang Tianhao went in.
After he finished taking a bath, Xu Haoxuan cleaned the prey in the camp.
Although the trap is very deep and the bamboo blades are tall and pointed, the animal will not fall on the soil if it falls. However, creatures like ants have a very good sense of smell, so some ants still crawled on the prey.
Xu Haoxuan skinned, removed and cleaned the prey all by himself. It took a long time to pack up these prey.
This time, he kept all the skins, tied them with a cane, and soaked them in the water.
In order to prevent fish from biting him, he also built a fence of wooden stakes near the water to surround the skin.
At noon, Xu Haoxuan was very generous and grilled half of the goat's ribs.
The sizzling and oily lamb chops made all three people except Xu Haoxuan cry with greed, and their stomachs couldn't help but growl.
After the lamb chops were roasted, the three people ignored the burning of the lamb chops, wrapped them in large wild vegetable leaves, and began to eat them.
The freshly slaughtered mutton is very fresh and juicy. When you put it in your mouth, the tender, plump and juicy feeling will once again stimulate the taste buds of the viewers in the live broadcast room to a wonderful state.
【So happy, so happy!!!】
【Every day I have Brother Xu, I am happy.】
At this time, Xu Haoxuan brought a bowl of vegetable soup to Li Huajiao. The green color of the fresh wild vegetables was very eye-catching.
"I don't want to drink, I just eat this."
Regardless of his image, Li Huajiao gnawed the mutton chops hard, his mouth was greasy, and he looked a bit frank and cute.
On the other hand, Hua Ling, although she also likes to eat, is obviously very restrained and eats very gracefully.
"They will leave in three days. You don't have to drink anything. You will be here for a long time and I won't see you drinking the nutrient solution. What should I do if the nutrition is not balanced? Be obedient and drink it."
Li Huajiao put down the mutton chop reluctantly, took a sip of vegetable soup, and then his eyebrows turned into bright stars:
“It tastes great too!”
Hua Ling on the side pretended to be envious and said:
"Anchor Xu, I want to drink too, can I have a bowl?"
"Okay, go ahead and serve it."
Hua Ling glanced at Xu Haoxuan sadly and walked away by herself.
