After thinking about it carefully, Xinqi really didn't expect any immediate effect to make the primitive people realize the importance of ropes immediately.

The function of the net is the most obvious, but unfortunately it took too long to make it up for a while. Moreover, he suspected that it would be difficult to say whether this group of primitive people could understand the use of the net before they saw the actual effect.

What am I doing? What's the truth about a group of primitive people? Xin Qi smiled and shook his head. Don't you know whether the rope is heavy or not? Primitive people will realize it sooner or later, why bother rushing for a moment?

Asked Otto and the others to continue collecting the dead vines, Xinqi found an open space to sit cross-legged and prepared to rub the remaining vine fibers into ropes. The primitive people saw that there was no fun to watch, so they went busy.

After rubbing for a while, Xinqi found that there was a person squatting beside him. He looked up and saw that it was the little girl khakidine. She stared at Xinqi's hands without blinking, obviously very curious about rubbing the rope.

"Do you want to learn?" Xinqi asked.

"Yes." Seeing that she was discovered, the little girl scratched her head shyly. But she still answered his question bravely.

"Okay, I'll teach you." How could Xinqi refuse such a good kid who is diligent and knowledgeable?

And children are more malleable than those adults whose mind has formed a fixed pattern. This shows that adults find that the rope is useless and walk away, while khakids come over to study.

No matter in any world, the twenty-first century on Earth or the primitive tribes in another world, children will always be the group that likes to accept new things the most.

Improving production tools can only solve the tribe's problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation. If you really want to develop civilization to achieve primitive people's leapfrog development, you still have to start with your children.

It seems that it is necessary to open a kindergarten and teach these children well, so as not to become primitive people like their parents when they grow up.

Of course, this matter can only be discussed later. Don’t say that he doesn’t have the skill now, even if there are others who are willing to learn it or not, they don’t know.

And he really didn't know how to teach this group of primitive people. He couldn't teach them pinyin and Chinese characters. Now he should do his best to solve the primitive people's food, clothing, housing and transportation. Everything is empty talk when he is hungry.

What surprised Xinqi was that the khakids had a very talent for rubbing ropes. Oh, it should be said that they were skillful and quickly mastered the skills of rubbing ropes. Moreover, the ropes they rub were very fine and more beautiful and sturdy than Xinqi's "original" rubbing.

So Xinqi simply handed over the heavy responsibility of rubbing the rope to the khakidine. The girl's face turned red with excitement. However, the primitive people didn't like to clean themselves, and probably hadn't washed up since the beginning of winter. The face was dark and the blushing could not be seen.

The work of rubbing the rope was handed over to the khakids, and the blood clots were still thawing, and the hunting team had not come back yet. Xinqi found that he had nothing to do for a moment.

However, he is also a person who can't rest, and soon found something for himself, mature skin. Many people may be inexplicably surprised to see this word, what is mature skin?

Cooked skin is spoken, and the term is tanned skin.

When an animal's skin is just exploited and not processed, it is called raw skin. Raw skin contains a lot of oil, moisture and other substances. Without treatment, the plate will become hard and the hair will easily fall off. Therefore, there is basically no way to use it.

Xinqi uses raw leather to make leather jackets, which is why so many furs can only make nine leather jackets... either rot or too hard to use, and some of them have only one leather left.

Cooked skin means defat and dehydration of the raw skin, making it soft and firm, and it is not easy to remove hair. Tanned skin is a high-quality fabric that can be used to make a variety of home textile products.

When making leather jackets, Xinqi kept complaining about the problem of primitive people's simple thinking, which led to so much real leather being wasted.

This is real wild animal skin, not the quick-form fur from the breeding farms in the past life. If it were placed on the earth in the 21st century, these skins would be sold out and become rich in seconds and squeezed into the rich class. How could you stay in this broken cave?

At that time, he wanted to show off his skills and let the primitive people enter the "cooked skin era" ahead of schedule. The most important thing is that Xin Qi really knew the most primitive and simplest method of cooked skin, and there were as many as three.

Unfortunately, the methods he knew were really too primitive and simple. They needed wet skin to tannate, and it would not be very useful after drying. The skin in the primitive human cave is no longer applicable.

But yesterday he hunted a rabbit mom, so he could use its skin for experiments.

When he thought about it, he did it. Xin Qi took over the bundle of Tu Mopi, who was neatly placed in the corner of the cave. Then he began to think about how to use it to be better.

The first method is really simple and has no technical content. It is to hang the wet skin on the wall, with the skin facing outward and hair facing inward. Every day, rub your hands on the skin after washing or eating, and it turns into mature skin over time.

This method is more simple and practical, and does not require any other auxiliary materials. It is most suitable for the current situation. Moreover, there are many people and powerful people. If you do it together in the tribe, you can do it much faster.

The second method is also simple. Spread the wet skin on the wood ash, and then cover it with a layer of wood ash and bury it in the soil for a month.

But both methods have disadvantages. The first one sounds like it is too random, and the tanned skin is uneven in softness and hardness. The second one is not well-maintained and it will rot in the soil.

The third method is actually the easiest to use, and it is also related to wood ash. It is to soak the skin in wood ash water, take it out for about a day and a night to clean it and dry it. If it doesn't work, continue to soak it.

Although the quality of the skin is not very good and the appearance is not very good. But in the primitive tribe, who cares about this? It is enough to use it.

However, in this place where there is no bowl, where do you ask him to find such a large container to hold the ash water in wood. So this is the first one to be abandoned.

The method of burying grass and wood ash was also abandoned. In the middle of winter, I won’t talk about the snow and ice that is more than ten meters thick outside, and the ground is probably as hard as some pig iron. How do you ask him to dig a hole and bury it.

In the end, we can only adopt the first method of 'wiping hands' tanning.

First, I found someone to pick up some wood as thick as a child's arms, and tied a wooden frame with a freshly baked rope according to the size of the rabbit mom. The rabbit mom spread out and fixed it on the wooden frame, and then leaned it against the wooden frame and placed it on the wall of the cave.

Without Xin Qi shouting, the Primitive Man spontaneously surrounded him when he saw that he was going to cause trouble again. It was convenient for him to teach.

When everything was ready, he told the Primitive Man that after dinner every day, he would wipe his hands on this skin - as for why he didn't say after washing his hands - it was because the Primitive Man never washed his hands.

I was afraid that everyone would wipe their hands in one place, which would lead to poor tanning in other parts. I also made a special demonstration and wiped the edges and corners of the Tumo Mopi. Then I asked each of them to come over and do it once.
