Early morning.

The sky is extremely gloomy.

It reminded Chen Lang of the tropical storm he encountered when he first landed on the island.

He was a little panicked.

Not long after, it rained heavily.

But luckily.

There was no strong wind.

Heavy rain stopped the work of three people.

Chen Lang could only take the ramie skin back to the shelter.

These days.

With nothing to do, Lehman expanded the shelter a lot under Chen Lang's instructions.

He used a log as the main beam.

Use several thinner and lower logs as secondary beams.

Support the tarp.

Like a yurt, it is high in the middle and low around it.

Chen Lang's foresight saved the three of them from getting wet in the rain.

At this moment, Chen Lang and the three of them were sitting around the campfire.

Chen Lang is teaching Gwen and Lehman how to peel hemp.

That is to peel the ramie.

It is more convenient to use a special ramie knife to peel ramie.

The ramie knife is semicircular and sharp on both sides.

When peeling numbness, you need to put a small device on your thumb to protect your fingers.

Usually made of bamboo.

It can not only protect fingers but also provide pressure.

After.

Put the ramie skin into the arc-shaped ramie knife.

Press the ramie leather with your protected thumb.

The other hand pulled hard.

The skin of the ramie will fall off, leaving only the ramie silk.

Chen Lang doesn’t have a ramie knife.

He can only use a dagger instead.

Chen Lang signaled Gwen and Lehman to concentrate.

Watch him operate.

Bah...baah.

There was a sound like tearing cloth.

The blue ramie skin was scraped off with a dagger.

The light blue ramie silk is exposed.

The unique flavor of ramie also floated out with Chen Lang's movements.

"Do you understand?"

Gwen is clever and can understand everything at a glance.

"I know."

Gwen imitated Chen Lang.

Soon.

Ramie silk was processed by her.

"Yes, children can be taught."

Chen Lang dragged out a sentence.

Very satisfied.

And Lehman has one head and two heads.

"Amazing Chinese craftsmanship."

Lehman could only use praise to hide his embarrassment.

Chen Lang patiently taught Lehman.

Until Lehman successfully processed the first ramie silk.

It keeps raining.

Chen Lang and the other three have also been peeling off hemp.

Until noon, the rain slowed down slightly.

The ramie is also peeled off.

Chen Lang picked a long and thin stick from the wood piled on one side.

Put the ramie silk on top.

Let dry.

If you want to process ramie cloth.

You need to use rice water to splash the ramie silk.

Until the ramie silk turns white.

But Chen Lang only used ramie silk to make caulking materials.

Not so particular.

Take advantage of the light rain.

Lehman proposed to go to the trap to check the harvest.

Gwen did all the work of collecting firewood and fetching water.

Chen Lang thought for a while.

I had nothing to do in the shelter, so I decided to take action with Lehman.

......

On the beach.

Not even a few steps away.

Chen Lang was attracted by some white things.

"Shell."

Chen Lang said and picked up one.

The shell is empty and very big.

The inner wall is pure white.

There seem to be many such shells on this beach.

Chen Lang asked Lehman to collect them all.

"What do you need these for?"

Lehman said while holding the shell in his hand.

Chen Lang knew that Lehman was a very serious person who would never give up until he achieved his goal.

He explained: "Heating these shells with a flame can act as an adhesive, which is the material needed for caulking."

Ramie silk, tung oil, lime.

Mixing of three materials.

Can make a mixture.

This mixture caulks seams.

That is to fill the gaps between the wooden boards.
