Chapter 119: Cotton Clothes
Antifreeze paste is such a high-level thing, to be honest, if you ask Lu Bu to do it, he really can't do it, if he is not a computer, he can convert everything into a series of codes and record it, and then convert it into words when he wants to use it, but unfortunately he is not, he is a person, he will forget, there will be no knowing, except for God, no one is omnipotent.
Antifreeze cream was already a rotten thing in his time, and almost every northerner would have one, but in this era, as long as the antifreeze person relied on his own mind, the itchy intestines were difficult to scratch - forbearance. The rich are a little better, all kinds of anti-freezing methods emerge in endlessly, I remember the most playful one is to stand beside him at all times more than a dozen maids, hands are cold to reach into the maid's clothes to keep warm, each has a method, in short, the rich will not freeze themselves, but the poor have no way, in the cold winter, when working outside, many people's hands are frozen and cracked, and even more directly frozen to death. Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road. This is the truest portrayal of that era.
Antifreeze ointment Lu Bu will not, but if you want to keep out the cold, there is one thing that is the best choice, cotton. How to survive the cold winter, just like wrapping zongzi, wrapping layer by layer, wrapping a few more layers if you have money, and wrapping less if you don't have money, everyone relies on these things to survive the cold winter.
As for cotton, cotton cultivation first appeared in the Indus Valley civilization in the 5th-4th millennium BC.
At least before 2000, cotton fiber has been used as textile raw materials in Guangxi, Yunnan, Xinjiang and other regions. In the Central Plains, at first people only used cotton as an ornamental plant, and did not recognize its economic value. Suleiman, a famous Arab traveler in the 9th century, wrote in his "Suleiman's Travels" that the cotton seen in the area of present-day Beijing was still viewed as a "flower" in the garden. "Liangshu Gaochang Biography" records: its land has "grass, really like a cocoon, the cocoon silk like fine silk, named white stacks." It can be seen that cotton, as one of the important raw materials in the textile industry, was originally regarded as flowers and grasses. Today's cotton is no different from dandelions in the eyes of many people. But I don't know doesn't mean that I don't have it, there is a cotton suit and there are two seasons when there is no winter. For the sake of all living beings, Lu Bu decided to keep this technology for himself.
The next day, the sky was bright, and there was a sound of empty strings in the empty general's mansion, and when he heard this business, Dian Wei, who was snoring and snoring, got up, and he naturally knew this voice after a long time on the battlefield, the enemy attacked, this was his first thought, and he didn't care about wearing clothes. He grabbed the double halberd placed at the head of the bed and immediately went straight to the courtyard, and when he came to the open space in the mansion in a hurry, he found that many people were already there, and the sound was something in front of them, which was a bit like a bow, but the bow body was indeed straight. A man kept striking the strings so that they landed on a pile of white flowers, and the sound of a boom came from here. I'm good, this thing. Dian Wei was a little confused. I just wanted to ask others, but found that all eyes were looking at him, he was a little strange, suddenly a cool breeze blew, he looked down, it was broken, he came in a hurry, his clothes were not dressed, his old face was red, and he hurriedly ran back, seeing Dian Wei's expression, everyone couldn't help laughing anymore, Guo Jia was even more excessive, coughing with laughter, while laughing, he had to let others soothe him.
After laughing, everyone's eyes returned to the cotton owned by this lord, early this morning, Lu Bu called them all up, it is said that there is something to protect from the cold, they hurried over, it is the scene that Dian Wei watched.
After another half an hour, everyone watched the original fluffy cotton become solid little by little, and finally became a long strip, Lu Bu asked people to bring a piece of cloth, put the cotton in it, and then sewed it, so a quilt was born gloriously.
At this time, everyone looked incredulous, just with these things, you can keep out the cold, you seem to be teasing me.
And Lu Bu also ignored everyone's eyes, after the quilt was ready, in the puzzled eyes of everyone, Guo Jia was wrapped, don't look at this kid is young, in fact, this kid's body is very weak, otherwise he would not have died young. So Lu Bu decided to get him some warmth first.
Guo Jia wrapped himself in the quilt, looked at himself, looked at Lu Bu, and looked at everyone. Although he didn't speak, there was still a warm current in his heart, he naturally knew Lu Bu's intentions, closed his eyes and felt it carefully, and after a while, he said in surprise: "It's warmer, it's really warmer than before." Seeing Guo Jia say this, others came forward one after another, looking at this thing, Jia Xu was smart and directly put his hand into the quilt, and the others saw that Jia Xu also learned from him, so there was such a scene in the square, several men put their hands into a big man's clothes, which picture was so beautiful that they couldn't bear to look at it directly. After feeling it for a while, everyone began to applaud. "Okay, okay, with this thing, I'm no longer afraid of the cold winter."
Dian Wei, who had just returned at this time, interjected: "Although this thing is warm, soldiers can't go to war with this thing." Hearing this, Lu Bu's originally smiling face darkened.
Dian Wei watched Lu Bu walk towards him, and knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly admitted his mistake: "Lord, I was wrong, Lord, don't come here, Lord, Ah, don't slap your face, Lord!" ”
