When I went back, I heard that Zhou Furong was going to weave straw sandals, and those old people were also very interested, and they also wanted to knit a pair to wear, especially now that the weather is hot, straw shoes are very suitable, not in winter.

Straw sandals originated very early in China and have a long history, which can be regarded as an important invention of the Chinese. Its earliest name was "扉", and according to legend, it was created by the courtiers of the Yellow Emperor.

Straw sandals are the traditional labor shoes of Chinese mountain residents since ancient times, and they are commonly worn and have become a habit along the way. Men and women, young and old, all went down to work in the fields, went up to the mountains to cut firewood, cut wood, collect medicine, hunt, etc., regardless of rain or shine, they wore straw sandals. Straw sandals are water-friendly, breathable, lightweight, soft, non-slip, and very inexpensive, and are said to have massage health effects.

Especially in summer, walking for a long time, wearing straw sandals is refreshing and cool, soft and hard, agile walking, and the wind is blowing on both feet, giving people a sense of comfort; Wear it on rainy days, it is both water-permeable and non-slip.

"Hey! Doesn't seem like that? Li Quan said to Zhou Furong. The second uncle of these straw sandals can't do it, but the second aunt can, and the women in the countryside are almost proficient in everything, which makes people admire.

"Huh? Isn't it? Seems to be, right? This is how the second aunt knitted just now. Zhou Furong knocked on his own a few times, and felt that there was nothing wrong.

The second aunt and the others suddenly smiled bitterly, this guy didn't make a mistake in weaving, and he didn't even get the size right.

"You're sure these shoes are for yourself." Chu Jiaqiang asked.

Zhou Furong compared the soles of his feet, and suddenly his face turned red and embarrassed: "It seems to be a little bigger." ”

Xu Hao and the others sweated profusely, and said secretly: It's a little bigger, it's more than twice as big, even if it's for the giant bear, it's almost the same, right?

"In the north, I saw straw sandals made of wheat stalks and corn stalks." Liang Yu said.

"Yes! It is not surprising that each place will have differences according to its own local conditions, and regional differences are the most common national conditions in China. Wan Lao nodded in agreement.

Hong Lao told everyone that straw sandals may be a very lowly thing in the eyes of many people, but don't have this kind of thought, straw sandals are not expensive or cheap.

Straw sandals were quite common in ancient times. According to historical records, Liu Heng, the emperor of Han Wen, who was the son of heaven, also "did not use it to look at the court". Ancient chivalrous and hermits seemed to be fashionable to wear straw sandals: "Bamboo canes and shoes are lighter than horses, and they are all over the world." "From the documents and the actual straw shoes in the ruins of the Western Zhou Dynasty unearthed successively, as well as the portraits of the terracotta figurines on the feet of the Han tombs, it can be confirmed that straw shoes appeared as early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties more than 3,000 years ago.

Moreover, the heroes in the TV series are also dressed like this, and they do look very elegant, free and easy, and detached. Uncle Liu Huang in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was born as a straw sandal. It shows that straw sandals were not only commonly worn by ordinary people in ancient times, but also worn by emperors and knights.

"This thing seems to be very shelf-bearing!" Ye Caiping said suddenly. Although she doesn't have the idea of being expensive or cheap, she doesn't feel good when she sees the straw like that!

"Huh! It depends on your craft. For people with good craftsmanship, the woven straw sandals are easy to wear and comfortable. Mrs. Wan smiled.

"I'll knit a pair for you! Make sure you are comfortable and look good. Chu Jiaqiang said that it is also very appropriate to do something for his wife.

"Okay! If you don't wear it, I'll leave it to you! Ye Caiping said with a smile.

The Chu family is strong

Head, when the weave comes out, someone must be rushing to ask for it, and it will not be their turn to wear it.

Chu Jiawan immediately spoke: "Brother, I also want a pair, you have to weave a little better!" I'm going to take it to school, and my classmates who are too ugly will die of laughter. ”

Get! This girl simply carried the school out and warned Chu Jiaqiang that he must be decent. She knows her eldest brother's craftsmanship, in the past, her eldest brother was the best at drumming in the village, and he could make many things that others couldn't get with one hand.

Chu Jiaqiang had no choice but to nod: "What are you afraid of?" Laughing to death is their business, and it's none of your business. ”

"I'm going to die laughing!" Chu Jiawan added.

Chu Jiaqiang picked out some soft straws, then removed the dead leaves on them, smoothed the straws, and then rubbed them lightly with his hands, and the rice stalks, which were still somewhat hard, softened.

Then, under everyone's surprised gaze, Chu Jiaqiang held two rice stalks in his hands and quickly knitted them. He knitted a slightly thicker sole first, girls like to have a higher sole, and when it rains, it won't be so easy to get wet.

"This guy's hands are so flexible!" Professor Wen is not convinced.

It took a lot of straw to finally weave a two-centimeter-thick sole. The whole sole is golden and staggered, which is very comfortable to look at, just like a machine weaving. In the middle, there are dense, very tiny pores, like the pores of the sole. These fine holes can be ventilated, and the person wearing it will be cool.

"It looks noble!" A few girls present liked it at first glance, and at a rough look, the weaving of the soles was still like a blooming flower, which was very beautiful.

Chu Jiaqiang began to weave some fixed foot parts on it, and also braided a beautiful Chinese knot in the middle, and a beautiful and generous straw sandals were born.

"I want this pair." Xu Bimei immediately shouted.

"Wait, are you his wife, or am I? Let's get in line! Ye Caiping immediately spoke.

This time, those girls shouted to Chu Jiaqiang one by one to help them weave a pair of equally good-looking ones. At the beginning, seeing Zhou Furong and others weaving so ugly, they might spread it out and make people laugh.

Xiaobao saw that it was so good-looking, and he also clamored for a pair of them. The pair that his grandmother knitted for him just now was put aside, and children, like women, love to show off.

At this time, the monkey came up secretly, and unknowingly took the pair of shoes and went to the door to try them on himself. It was discovered by a tourist passing by the door and immediately photographed.

"If you want shoes, go and get the straw back, there is not enough here." Chu Jiaqiang said. His eyes suddenly saw the monkey walking in very strangely, and when he saw the pair of shoes under the monkey's feet, he immediately glared and said, "Who knitted this guy?" ”

Everyone looked over, and Mrs. Hong and the others immediately recognized it, and they immediately laughed.

"My grandmother gave me these shoes, monkey take them off quickly." Xiaobao immediately rushed out to get it back. Although I don't wear those shoes, I still can't give them to others, people are like this, and some things must be occupied by themselves.

When the monkey saw it, he immediately rushed out to the door. The people in the house burst into laughter, and the monkeys just like to imitate! When you see others wearing straw sandals, you have to try it to be satisfied. (To be continued)
