Li Xiaolu turned her head slightly, looking at the Tang Dynasty soldiers who were sitting on the simple table not far away, sewing masks, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help laughing.

Seeing that so many Tang soldiers were screaming from needles, Li Xiaolu didn't feel the pain in her fingers, but was very happy, which shows that people have a heart of schadenfreude, and when they see others unlucky, they will feel very happy in their hearts, which is also the inferior nature of people!

Some people like to divide people into good people and bad people, which is very wrong, people sometimes can't be divided in this way, this division is also very unscientific, because people's thinking is complex, there is no distinction between good people and bad people, some people are heroes in the eyes of some people, and in the hearts of other people are thugs and evil people, very cruel people.

Even in daily life, some people enter the court through the back door, and they will be very happy in their hearts, thinking that the person who helped him is a good person, too good at doing things, and he has to thank him well, and another person who is not strong enough, because of this person, has no chance to enter the court, he will hate this person very much, thinking that this is a big bastard, a damn guy, and he will be willing to die.

Two people who are different will have different views on one person, because of different interests, they will have different views.

Everyone is trying their best to defend their own interests, and whoever has their interests violated will be furious, whether it is a nobleman, a commoner, a man, or a woman.

A person who expands the territory of the country is considered a national hero, but the common people of those destroyed countries will hate this person very much, thinking that this person is a war criminal and a robber.

Of course, Li Xiaolu just smiled gloatingly, and there was no malice, and he couldn't judge what kind of person Li Xiaolu was, let alone evaluate Li Xiaolu's quality for this reason.

In the previous life, many people would joke directly, ask others if they encountered any unlucky things, and say it to make everyone happy, such a direct schadenfreude, it is really hurtful, but many people are like this, they just like to hurt people, of course, maybe in the eyes of this kind of person, this slight injury is nothing, it is a very unworthy way of hurting, but in the hearts of some people, it is indeed very hurtful.

Different people have different values, some people like to share their bad luck, and often smile bitterly and laugh at themselves, and some people don't like this kind of behavior very much, unlucky things are not willing to tell others, if someone says his bad luck, he will be very angry, will be very angry, and even turn against him.

Seeing Li Xiaolu gloating and laughing, Li An smiled faintly and said: "Study hard, a woman must be able to sew to be a qualified woman, if she can't even sew, then it is not like a woman, in our Datang Dynasty, even if she is the mother of a country and the most noble woman in the world, she can sew, but she usually does not do needlework, and occasionally shows her hand to set an example for women in the world." ”

"Oh, that's right! The most noble women in Datang can sew, and it seems that I have to learn hard. ”

Li Xiaolu said.

It seems that she is planning to follow Ang Lee to the Tang Empire, and she will be a woman of the Tang Empire in the future, which shows that she has completely surrendered to Ang Lee, and she does not plan to leave Ang Lee in this life.

When Li An heard this, he was naturally very happy, but with Li Xiaolu's clumsy appearance, Li An really found it hard to believe that she could learn very well, at least it would take a lot of effort to learn this technique completely!

Of course, Li An hopes that Li Xiaolu can learn this technique well, so that she will be more like a Datang woman, and it will be easier to adapt to the life of Datang when she brings her back to Datang.

Although, Ang Lee now has a lot of women, but one more is always better, as a healthy man, where will he dislike too many women, only too little, the more women he has, the more he can reflect his pomp, so that others are more envious and jealous.

"Oops!"

Li Xiaolu was careless, and pricked her finger again, and the blood was gushing out, looking a little oozing.

"Why was you so careless to let you pay attention."

Li An criticized with a smile and handed Li Xiaolu a thimble.

In fact, there is no need to use a thimble at all for the job of sewing a six-layer gauze mask, but because Li Xiaolu's skills are too poor and her strength is relatively small, it is easy to break her fingers, in order to avoid this happening, so Li Ang got her a mask, so it is not easy to break her hands.

The thimble is a sewing tool, which is a tool used to penetrate the thin needle in the case of greater resistance.

Because people hold fine needles in their hands, it is difficult to use their strength completely, sometimes if the fabric is too thick, the fine needles are difficult to penetrate normally, if you use your fingers directly, the tail of the fine needles is likely to hurt people's fingers, and even penetrate people's skin and enter people's flesh, thus causing harm to people.

Of course, only when sewing the fabric with relatively large resistance, there is a need to use the thimble, if it is a very general fabric, there is no need for the thimble at all, of course, if you insist on using the thimble, it doesn't matter much, at most the efficiency is slower.

In Li An's opinion, the six-layer cotton gauze is very light and thin, and the resistance is not great when sewing, and it can be sewn directly, but Li Xiaolu's strength is too small, so it may be easier to use a tool like a thimble.

"Li Shilang, what is this, is it related to sewing?"

Li Xiaolu had never seen a thimble, so she asked curiously.

"This is a thimble, it's for sewing clothes, come and take it!"

Ang Lee replied.

"This one is so small, it should be on your finger! How to use it? ”

Li Xiaolu naturally thought of her fingers and put the thimble on her finger.

Li An opened his mouth and said, "Do you see the small pit on it?" The tail of the needle can be placed in this small pit, so that when you penetrate the fabric hard, it will be very easy, come on, you can try it. ”

There are densely distributed small pits on the thimble, the size of these small pits is slightly larger than the tail of the needle, when the tail of the needle enters the small pit, it will be fixed in the small pit, and then push hard, the iron needle will easily penetrate the thick cloth, complete the sewing process, it can be said to be very easy, much easier than pushing directly hard, it is an artifact in the sewing industry, saving the small hands of too many handsome little women.

Why women who often work as female workers can still have so smooth and white fingers is completely because of the help of thimbles, if there is no help of thimbles, every time you use your fingers, then the pressure is too great, and your fingers are easy to hurt.

Li Xiaolu used a thimble and began to slowly sew masks, which feels very good, the effect is very good, much better than when she does not use thimbles, and the sewing efficiency has gradually improved, however, because Li Xiaolu's female worker level is really not very good, the sewn masks are very ugly, they are simply ugly, and they are not even as good as the masks sewn by many Datang soldiers, which is too embarrassing.

"Take a good look, this is the mask I sewed, and this is what you sewed, see if the difference is big, isn't it big!"

Li An put the mask he had sewn himself in front of Li Xiaolu and said with a smile.

The contrast between this comparison is still relatively large, although the mask sewn by Li An is not very good, but at least it is relatively neat, and the edging is also in place, while the mask sewn by Li Xiaolu is too bad, and it is not a grade at all.

"Well, Li Shilang sews so well, I want to learn hard, start practicing now, do you still have a mask? I'll sew a few, and I'll definitely improve. ”

Li Xiaolu's heart to learn was great, and she asked.

Li An smiled and said: "What's more, you can have as much as you want, but don't work too hard, just take your time, any technology can't make much progress in a short period of time, and perseverance is the most important thing, and perseverance can improve your level." ”

For people who have lived for two lives, Ang Lee still knows human nature very well, he knows very well that everyone will have a three-minute heat problem, at the beginning, it can be described as extremely high-spirited, swearing how he wants to be, what kind of major goals he wants to accomplish, but with the setbacks and difficulties, many people begin to be calm, there will be discouragement and the idea of giving up, and then, naturally, it is gone, and the original dream is completely abandoned.

Li An is very skeptical about Li Xiaolu's situation at the moment, whether it is the so-called three-minute heat, maybe after she gets tired of learning this time, she will never learn to sew again.

Of course, this is just Ang Lee's personal speculation, maybe Li Xiaolu is very persevering, this is difficult to say.

After instructing Li Xiaolu, Li An began to inspect the camp to see how the soldiers under his command were prepared, whether they had all sewn masks, how they were sewn, whether they could be used, what the effect was, and what the reaction of the soldiers was, these are all things that Li An must know.

"It's not bad, how is it, is it comfortable to wear?"

Li An walked to the group of soldiers and asked with concern.

"Li Shilang, it's not easy to pant when wearing this thing, and it's a little stuffy."

"Yes, it's really better to just gasp for breath, but if you can defend against wind and sand, it's better."

"I just don't know, what is the effect of defending against wind and sand, if it is still a mouthful of mud and sand, then it is better not to wear it?"

Obviously, for the Tang Dynasty soldiers who have not used masks, masks are completely new and new, and human nature is to be skeptical of new things, and they will feel that it is unlikely.

Therefore, many soldiers have doubts about masks, feeling that masks may not really play such a big role.

However, the facts will prove everything in the end, the mask invented by Ang Lee will definitely not be useless, it will definitely play a huge role, and after using it, you will naturally understand.

"Without a dust mask, this is the only way I can think of, so let's use it first! Whether it has an effect or not, after using it, it will naturally be clear. ”

Li An said.

In fact, the dust mask is also breathable and uncomfortable to wear, but the protective effect of the dust mask is very good, at least much stronger than the mask.

No matter what kind of protection, it is at the expense of breathing fluency, however, many advanced masks in later generations, with a magical thing such as a breathing valve, will improve the breathing fluency a lot, will greatly reduce people's sense of suffocation, and has won unanimous praise from users.

However, such an advanced thing, Ang Lee can't make it, especially in such a simple situation, it's even more difficult to do, for Ang Lee, it's enough to invent the simplest mask, and other aspects don't dare to expect extravagantly.

After a long walk around the camp, Ang Lee returned to his makeshift tent.

Although the tent does not need to be dismantled when it is temporarily stopped to rest, it refers to ordinary soldiers, and Li An, as a leader, will of course have different treatment, and the convoy can't stop for an hour, let Li An sit in a small car! That's too cramped.

When she returned to the tent, Li Xiaolu was still practicing sewing masks, and she was practicing quite seriously, and her posture and movements were becoming more and more standardized, like that.

"I'm pretty serious about my practice! Well, yes, the progress is still quite big, we all know the edging, however, these four ropes should be sewn in the middle of the six layers of gauze, not on one side, which is too ugly and very unsightly. Dismantled and re-sewn. ”

Li An opened his mouth to ask.

Since Li Xiaolu is a little interested in learning sewing, Li An has to be strict, so that her progress can be better and faster, if the requirements are too lenient, the effect of practice will be greatly reduced.

Li Xiaolu dared not listen to Li An's words, nodded very obediently, and according to Li An's requirements, the mask that had just been sewn was dismantled, and after dismantling, it was improved according to Li An's requirements to meet Li An's requirements.

Li An felt very satisfied with Li Xiaolu's humble correction, which was exactly the result he wanted to see, which showed that Li Xiaolu was still teachable and completely worthy of cultivation, as long as she could learn sewing skills well, she would become more and more like an oriental beauty in the future, and she would be able to save a lot of face for herself if she brought it back to Chang'an City.
