Volume 2 Playing with the Tribe Chapter 405 Women Can Hold Up Half the Sky
The female workers were enthusiastic, and Ding Qi didn't fail to see it, so he just made a feint to make everyone happy.
The clothes of the tribesmen were sewn by this group of women day and night. Although Ding Qi "invented" sewing tools such as needles, thimbles, and scissors, it was these women who actually did the work. Whether they are full members of the tribe or new slave girls, their role is as important as that of other men.
Ding Qi came to them and listened to them say that this animal skin was good, and that the wool was well spun, and he was very happy in his heart. Therefore, he gave a speech to express his feelings, and at the same time to encourage the people.
"As you know, I come from a tribe far away, and the tribe is very, very large, as many as stars in the sky. In that tribe, women, like men, carried on important jobs in the tribe and had the same status as men. So, after coming here, I established the Ding tribe and established the various institutional regulations of the Ding tribe, one of which is the marriage system. ”
"The marriage system is to make men and women have the same status, no matter what position or place, they can do like men, or even better than men. Our tribe also has such women, such as Qiao, such as the woman who is far away in Yan Village, such as our doctor witch deer, and even the two little girls who have the responsibility of teaching, Xue and Dan, have become the leaders of the tribe. ”
The status and achievements of these women are well known in the tribe, and many women are also working in this direction. Looking at the excited glint in the eyes of these women in front of him, Ding Qi smiled and continued to speak:
"Maybe in the tribe, you are in different positions, doing some low-labor work such as cooking, sewing, and gathering. But you must know that in the past, if it were not for the women who collected all kinds of fruits and plant roots, and the uncertain success rate of the men's daily hunting, I was afraid that the tribe would have starved sooner or later.
Of course, now that the tribe has advanced weapons, and thanks to the tribal warriors, it is easier for us to obtain food, but we must not forget that women are just as important as men. There's one thing that men can't compare, and guess what? ”
The women led by Qiao all listened to Ding Qi excitedly, but they didn't listen much, just there was excitement. Ding Qi stopped and asked, and everyone suddenly didn't know how to answer, and some people even wondered what question Ding Qi asked just now. Still, someone is well aware.
A well-behaved woman dressed in ordinary animal skin clothes, probably eighteen or nineteen years old, timidly raised her hand and said:
"Report to the Chief, I'...... I know! ”
Ding Qi, who thought that no one dared to answer or that no one guessed, was a little disappointed, but he didn't expect a female slave girl to dare to stand up, although she was a little timid, but this courage was worthy of praise. He immediately nodded vigorously at her, smiled and encouraged her:
"Good! You guess, you guess right, there is a prize! ”
When the women saw a female slave who had only been in the tribe for a short time, they dared to show off in front of the leader, and there were those who despised her, those who encouraged her, and those who envied her. But the woman puffed out her chest in Dingch's encouraging eyes, and spoke loudly:
"Boss, there is one thing that a man can't compare to a woman, and that is to have a child!"
As soon as the woman finished speaking, the people around her immediately burst into laughter, and the slave girl's face suddenly turned red to the root of her ears, and she felt a little embarrassed.
But Ding Qi said loudly:
"That's right! You guessed it perfectly! The only thing where men are inferior to women is that they don't have children. ”
The crowd immediately fell silent, and the slave girl suddenly became happy.
Tinch continued:
"Come, tell me your name, I promised you just now, and there will be a prize for answering correctly!"
The slave girl glanced at the leader, then turned her head to look at Qiao, the leader of the garment group, and saw that both of them were encouraging herself, and immediately shouted
Answered:
"Boss, my name is Xiu!"
"Good! Listen, everyone, as I said earlier, there is a prize for those who answer correctly. Since Xiu dared to answer and guessed correctly, then my reward is: from today onwards, Xiu will become an official member of the tribe, given the surname Lu, and belong to the management of the Deer clan. ”
As soon as Ding Qi finished speaking, everyone was stupid, and the whole scene was quietly pin dropping, and there was not even a sound of breathing.
Ding Qi's words were like a thunderbolt, which stunned them, and they opened their mouths wide but didn't make a sound, and that Xiu'er looked even more incredulous.
This scene was instantaneous, and everyone exploded with a bang. Some people can't believe it, some people are envious, some people are happy, and their inner thoughts are different. Qiao hurriedly pushed Xiu'er, who was stunned there, and said happily:
"Xiu'er, don't hurry up and thank you!"
Xiu'er reacted and was about to kneel on the ground in a panic to thank her, but was pulled by Ding Qi.
"The tribe doesn't like this, if you want to thank me, just do a good job of making clothes."
"Thank you Leader, thank you Leader for giving me the surname, Lu Xiu should not forget the Leader's kindness!"
The leader wouldn't let her kneel, but she still had to thank the leader when she cried with joy. Qiao'er, who used to be a slave girl, is also very happy, this is the leader, this is the Aragami. If it weren't for him, he might have starved to death.
Looking at the woman in front of him, Ding Qi nodded, knowing that this deer show was worth cultivating like a coincidence.
"Good job! There is a saying in my tribe that simple things are not simple to the extreme, and ordinary things are extraordinary to be done to the extreme. I hope that each and every one of you can firmly remember this sentence, do not envy others and do not envy others, and work hard to do your job is the greatest contribution to the tribe! ”
Warm applause rang out, which was everyone's greatest recognition of what Ding Qi said.
"Haha! Don't applaud yet, let me say another thing that a great man from my tribe said about women, saying: Women can hold up half the sky! But you women should not be proud, women have the same status as men, and they still have to do the work, and the work at home should be done with the men, not let the men do it themselves. We must be considerate of each other and care for each other, so that this family can be happy. ”
Louder applause rang out, and the women cheered, drawing everyone else to work.
Ding Qi's words today quickly spread among the tribe, and the group of men held their breath, a little unconvinced, and worked harder at work, which impressed the women of the tribe.
In the applause, Ding Qi came to the place where he knitted sweaters at the back, knitted sweaters with everyone, and pulled homely cooking. Everyone knows that the technique of knitting sweaters is taught to everyone by the leader, and there is nothing unusual about this, so they knit sweaters together with a joke.
To knit a sweater, a full needle is used, which is the method of knitting sweaters taught by Ding Qi. The knitted sweater doesn't have any fancy, but it keeps you warm. Of course, don't think of Ding Qi too greatly, after all, he only learned the old tradition in the military camp, and he knows the basics, but it is still a little difficult for him to master some more. In the final analysis, it is mainly because his main mission goal is military training and defending the country.
Therefore, other knitting methods of sweaters can only be innovated by everyone or future generations.
After knitting a sweater, Ding Qi motioned to come to the side with him and asked about the down jacket.
"Chief, the production of Ge Yi has just been figured out, but I feel that there is still a gap from what you said. I tried to wrap the feathers in kudzu, but found that the feathers would come out of the kudzu. When you press it on your hand, you will feel a little prickly. As you said before, clothes are meant to be comfortable to wear, and if they don't serve that purpose, they are failures. ”
Qiao said his thoughts, but Ding Qi's eyes lit up, and he understood that Qiao was moving
Otherwise, I wouldn't have this thought.
"Don't worry! Gebu is an advance in clothing, or at least it is more comfortable than animal skin. Feathers pierce people, you can remove the tip of the feather stem, and even choose some more duck down as a padding. I'll give you a suggestion, although I haven't made down jackets, I used to wear this kind of down jacket in my previous tribe, which is very light and comfortable, and it is also warm. We can use the stitching method to separate the various parts of the garment and then put them together at the end, what do you think? ”
Ding Qi immediately picked up a bamboo pen next to him and began to draw on a piece of paper. The above content is a piece of clothing, but it is divided into five parts: the back, the left and right plackets, and the left and right sleeves.
"There are two kinds of fabrics for down, one is arrowroot cloth for lining, and the other is animal skin, which can be made of light deerskin. Spread the deerskin on the table, cover it with a layer of down, and cover it with arrowroot. Sew the edge first, and then use a needle and thread to sew the whole piece of fabric into 10 by 10 pieces, so that the down inside does not run back and forth, resulting in less here and more there. ”
Ding Qi drew as he spoke, and told Qiao'er how to prevent the down from jumping around.
"These five parts, each of which does that, and then put it together at the end. As for the final neckline and the like, just sew it with fox skin, etc. ”
In fact, the method that Ding Qi talked about is similar to the method of making cotton clothes in the countryside in the past. Now that there is no cotton, replace it with down and reach the goal.
Leave Qiao there to think, how to make a down jacket. Ding Qi himself returned to his yard and prepared to make egg skin by himself and make noodles to eat at night.
But he didn't expect that all the people of the tribal elder group and the medical witch group were waiting for them in the courtyard, seeing that they were talking and laughing, they must have been here for a while. However, looking at the dirt on their bodies, they should have come directly from the place of labor.
The slave girl Bai Mao was beating pheasant eggs with arrowroot, and looking at the amount, Ding Qi suddenly understood that this group of people had come to eat and drink.
Seeing Ding Qi come back, everyone immediately got up, and Ben ran directly over, bending down to Ding Qi and wanting to say something, but was interrupted by Elder Buck.
"Ben, you don't have to make a small report. Hehe, Chief, we all had dinner at the Chief's house tonight, and I heard that the Boss brought back a good thing that can make people forget their troubles for a while, so let's discuss it and come and try it. ”
In this, it is most appropriate for Elder Bucks to speak. The old man spoke, how dare Ding Qi hide it, shook his head with a wry smile and said:
"Guys, I'm going to say it. Although this wine is good, don't be greedy, or you will be too strong to drink and make jokes, don't blame me! ”
Since he knew that everyone was coming for wine, Ding Qi understood that he would not get drunk tonight, so he immediately said ugly things in front, lest this group of people drink too much and look foreign.
"Ben, ask someone to go to the canteen to prepare more meat and leek flower sauce and send it over, as well as two lotus roots and a cabbage, and then move a small can of wine and some vermicelli from the warehouse, remember to mark the wine at the end."
For the Red Bull, Blue Bird, Qiu and Gurung clans who were the first to join the tribe, Ding Qi never treated them as outsiders, and the tribe's technology and resources were not hidden from them, and they were in contact with the core content of the tribe.
In addition to several important tasks that the witch is responsible for, the patriarchs of each clan, such as Black Bull, Goshawk, Shang and Gu Da, also have their own responsibilities and are arranged in key positions in the tribe.
Ding Qi is sincere to them, and they also treat Ding Qi as a relative in the clan, not to mention that Ding Qi is still the leader, the god of the wilderness above the wilderness!
Black Bull as always direct:
"Chief, I've heard that the wine marked with the tail wine is not as good as the medium wine. It's a bit stingy to entertain us with a tailwine, you have to bring out a good wine! Isn't that right? ”
Everyone followed suit, but Ding Qi laughed.
