Reborn stone tools to farm

I am happy, but it is obviously impossible to start weaving now. Although she knows a lot, she only knows a little about the craft, after all, she is not omniscient.

She still has a little understanding of silk reeling, and the principle is just to use hot water to dissolve the colloid in it, but it is definitely impossible for her to make a spinning wheel and weave cloth, unless some ancestor really gave her a dream at night.

But these are not enough to dampen her high spirits, weaving and so on can be studied slowly, silk threads can be prepared first.The boat was no longer needed, and the collection was put aside. Tang Zheng took people to look for silkworms the next day.

Peach is familiar with the surrounding environment, whether it is edible or not, I have a little impression. I heard that mulberry is about to ripen, and I have noticed it recently. Children especially like this.

There are no snacks at this time, and the sweet little fruits are loved by everyone.

Tao has a map in her heart like a pine tree. It is easy to find mulberry trees, but they are widely distributed and there are many places to go. If you know the way, you don't have to worry about this side and forget about that side. In the future, if there are too many people, you can separate your actions.

On some mulberry trees, silkworms had already begun to form cocoons, and the little white dotted among the lush leaves was still so pretty. Tang Zheng put back the silkworms brought back by the bees and the others yesterday, and picked up some good-quality cocoons and took them away.

She doesn't have enough manpower to specialize in the work of raising silkworms. Similarly, with a small number of people in the clan, her demand for silk is not so much. It is an exception to bring everyone out today. After that, you only need to pay attention when passing by. Can.

Generally speaking, in recent years, weaving cloth is only to improve the lives of the tribe. Tang Zheng does not plan to sell it as goods. She has enough market for pottery alone, and it is still a "high-end consumer product". Judging from the production value of most tribes, she no longer needs to open up new markets, and some things have to be hidden for the time being, such as the salt that may be available in the near future.

In one day, he also picked up several baskets of silkworm cocoons. In the evening, Tang Zheng taught a few girls to peel the silkworm cocoons, and specially recruited an apprentice to take the lead. She was considered to be Xiaowu, as Tang Zheng sometimes called her.

Xiao Wu was the crippled girl when she bought someone for the first time. Tang Zheng changed her name to Tong.A timid little girl who blushes when she speaks like Shan, but it's better than turning pale with fright when talking to her before.

The cocoon coat on the outer layer of the silkworm cocoon is messy, with many colloids and short fibers. When it spreads out, it is a short thread of about one meter.

The stripped cocoon clothes Tangzheng was not thrown away, and was packed up separately. With a little effort, it can be made into silk thread. Like the waste silk in the silk reeling process, it is the raw material of silk spinning. Colloids can also be made into soft, cotton-like fillings.

All that is needed for hand reeling is a pot, a basin of water, and two people. The next day, Tang Zheng only left Tong to study the craft with her.

The silk reeling process is not difficult. The light cocoons are scalded in a pot that is not completely boiled on a low heat until the thread balls are slightly fluffy, and then removed into a basin filled with hot water. Timing is very important. It needs to be completely ironed, which is the key to the silk reeling process, and it is also the focus of Tang Zheng's research and conclusion that requires a lot of experiments.

The water in the basin is as warm as human hands can bear. After all, this is the first experiment. Only five or six cocoons are placed at a time. The silk threads on the cocoons are shaken on the water surface with hands, and the threads are pulled out and twisted together. The remaining glue on the silk sticks to the basket, and then wraps it round and round on the basket. The toughness of silk is second only to hemp, higher than cotton and wool. It is the best animal fiber, and it will not be easily broken if you pay attention to it.

Tong turned the basket to pull the thread out of the water basin, and Tang Zheng was responsible for gathering five or six silk threads with his fingers, thinking that he would make a small hollow disc to fix it in place at night, so he didn't need to use his hands to complete this work up.

Silk reeling looks very simple, and there are more and more silk threads on the basket, but if you look closely, you will find that the thickness is not uniform, and it will be a defective product or even a waste product in future generations, but it seems to be quite good now, at least the thread can be pulled out Nope.

The length of the silk in each silkworm cocoon is different, and the range from 200 to [-] meters is very large, so the silk thread is getting thinner and thinner. Cocoon clothes are also used as stuffing, silkworm chrysalis can be fed to chickens, and silkworm babies are full of treasures.

After a few times of proficiency, Tang Zheng began to try wiring, thinking about it and failing many times.After the silk thread that was processed before was slightly dried, it was stroked again in reverse, and hung up to dry completely.

The silk thread after drying is soft and smooth in the hand, it is an excellent texture that Tong has never touched before, and the expression on the face is also full of surprises.

The two of them soaked in the steam for a whole day, repeating the silk reeling process over and over again, which can be regarded as a little bit of experience.

A few days later, a row of snow-white silk threads was hung in front of the shed. The silk threads were distinct and fluffy, and when they were gathered together, the mouth of the bowl was thick, and they were hung on the bamboo poles with a knot. The people of the tribe looked very strange, thinking it was some kind of new decoration. Taste.

But these really need to be used by no means as much as they seem.

Tao would bring back some silkworm cocoons every day, there was no need to deliberately, and the number was naturally not many.When Tang Zheng and Tong became proficient, they asked three women who weaved rope from their ears. After they taught them, they could finish the silkworm cocoons they brought back yesterday in the morning, and they could also do another thing in the afternoon.

Zhi Zhi and the others insisted on training every day, and Tang Zheng didn't even have to worry about anything. All she could do was provide them with enough nutrition.

Poor, rich and powerful, these people's food intake is obviously increasing, but fortunately, she has enough meat for them to eat.

Some people often hunt and have good physical fitness, but the influx of resources in all aspects still makes them improve significantly, let alone women who only do gathering work on weekdays.

Tang Zheng thought about it a lot. Now the number of people in the clan can be considered upper-middle-class in the vicinity, but she wants to take revenge and fight. She doesn't want to see the casualties of the clan.

Relying on their own efforts, they may be able to fight three against one, and they can work together as a team to pay attention to tactics. There are many ways to win, but she wants to minimize losses and provide sufficient protection for the frontline fighters.

armor.

There are very few attack methods now, the stone axes are not sharp, and simple armor can raise their combat effectiveness to another level, and even give them an overwhelming advantage.

The armor made of tree rattan is very simple, but it is very cumbersome and inflexible. Tang Zheng is still studying the wooden armor, trying to decompose the parts with the vague appearance in her memory. The simplest and the most she has is naturally It's gone.

"Come on, put your hands up."

Tang Zheng took a thin rope through Zhi's back, measured his waistline and other data, and moved Zhizhi every step of the way, which was very cooperative.

Others watched from the sidelines, and Tong followed suit to measure the women's measurements.

Wu squatted beside him, still panting after strenuous exercise, staring at Tang Zheng curiously and asking, "Zhen, what are you doing again?"

Tang Zheng was not tall enough, so he let Zhi Zhi squat down to measure his shoulders and arms, and said without looking back, "I'll make you some clothes, clothes that can make you stronger."

"Clothes?" Wu became more and more puzzled, but he didn't question what Tang Zheng said, as long as what Zhen said was true.

"You can call it leather armor, and you'll know when it's made." After measuring all the data, Tang Zheng drew and recorded it on a ceramic board.

Wu Nian said it several times, and soon Tang Zheng walked back again, "Get up, it's your turn."

"Oh." Standing up knowingly, Wu Zhao let Tangzheng make gestures on her body as before.

After everyone finished measuring and left, Tang Zheng let out a sigh of relief, and nodded to a board of numbers that only she could understand.

The original piece of bamboo used to measure the length was determined by her to be one meter, and the scale was drawn on the rope, which is very convenient to use now.

"Master." Tong called softly.

"Huh?" Wiping off the powder scraped off the pottery board, Tang Zheng turned around and asked, "What's the matter?" She was the most patient with this timid apprentice, after all, she broke her leg before it was too big. I accidentally found some bruises on Tong's body, presumably he was often bullied.

Who says primitive people must be pure and kind?It's just her own luck.

Without the constraints of morality and etiquette, most people are more violent and rude. It can be said that they are extreme. Kind people are more kind, and vicious people are more vicious. The inner essence is undoubtedly exposed.

Tong's previous tribe was not too small, and they had already been divided into three, six, and nine classes. The lower class were often oppressed, and they huddled together to keep warm, so the few people who bought back had a good relationship.

After hesitating for a while, Tong asked: "Are we... are we doing something very powerful?"

Tang Zheng chuckled, she found that this apprentice seemed to have the habit of twisting his fingers like Jing, and the smile on his face became gentler, "Everyone of us is very good at doing things, because we need to do things, regardless of size, but It’s really important right now.”

Tong twisted her slender eyebrows and tried to understand what Tang Zheng said. Obviously everyone does different things, why are they all the same size?

At this moment, Tang Zheng realized that her apprentices were all good-looking. The boys were handsome and the girls were pretty. Could it be possible to look good by eating green and pollution-free food?

"Okay, come here." Tang Zheng shook off a piece of leather, and said to Tong who was still struggling secretly.

Tong obediently came to the front, and Tang Zheng was drawing on the spread leather while telling her some data usage and key points of drawing.

The high-quality leather is very thick after tanning, about half a centimeter in length. Tang Zheng can only choose the most wasteful method to cut it without tools. The thinner the leather, the more flexible it is.

At the same time, they don't have scissors, and they can only use stone knives to repeatedly rub and scratch when cutting. It is not difficult but time-consuming to make a simple dress.

The next thing to do is to add leather layer by layer according to the distribution of human muscle groups. Tang Zheng, who studies art, will naturally not be unfamiliar with this.Part of the thickness is enhanced, and the joints are not attached to maintain flexibility during movement. In some places, Tang Zheng wants to use thick wood to attach, such as the arms, which can be blocked by raising the hand.

For two days, the two of them stayed in the shed to make a piece of leather armor. Holding the final product, Tang Zheng frowned slightly, not because he doubted its practicality, but...

too ugly......
