Chapter 441: Harvesting Ramie

The matter of handing over the new bazaar to the Rock Tribe was thus decided, and they then discussed other details, and finally finalized the plan for the construction of the new bazaar.

There will be nothing to do with Ye Feng in the future, and those trivial matters will naturally be handled by his subordinates.

Just when he thought that the matter was over and that he was finally going to be idle, a clansman suddenly ran away, and when he heard his words, he cried bitterly.

"Ye Feng, the ramie has been harvested, so what should I do next?"

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "You can't move slowly, I still want to rest!" ”。

When that clansman heard this, his head was confused for a while, he remembered it clearly, but Ye Feng explained to them that he wanted to collect them as soon as possible, how could it be like this?

Looking at the mountains of ramie, Ye Feng felt that the sky was spinning for a while, yes, he couldn't be lazy anymore.

Picking up a ramie straw casually, Ye Feng sadly found that he couldn't extract the hemp fiber.

The traverser of other people's homes is either a system or a warehouse, and what about himself, the beginning is ...... Phew, nothing, it's really all about picking up special equipment.

Ye Feng's mouth was bitter.

After more than half an hour of being a thinker next to this pile of ramie, he came up with an idea.

"Well, let's try it first!"

So he hurriedly called seven or eight people and took them to peel the ramie stalks.

As soon as he got started, Ye Feng found that it was not easy to completely remove the skin of the ramie straw, and often only tore off a small section, and this section was definitely unusable.

After trying dozens of them in a row, they were all like this, Ye Feng knew that he couldn't go on like this, and if he continued like this, it would be a pure waste of materials.

So he hurriedly stopped everyone.

"Ye Feng, what's wrong?" The clansmen looked puzzled.

Ye Feng pointed to the hemp skins that were pulled out, and said, "These can't be used, I want that kind of complete skin, like this, it's torn into small sections, I can't use it!" ”

These people looked at each other, until now, they didn't know why Ye Feng wanted them to peel this grass.

So one person asked: "Ye Feng, what are we doing with this thing?" ”

"Hmm......" Ye Feng was about to explain, but his throat was blocked, he didn't know how to explain the concept of cloth to these people who were used to wearing animal skins.

Finally, he casually explained its purpose: "Isn't this our animal skins becoming more and more scarce? I was thinking about making something that could replace animal skins! ”

In fact, the population of the tribe is increasing, especially after the defeat of the Great Tooth tribe, the population has received a blowout, and the demand for animal skins is getting higher and higher.

This is still late autumn, and if it is winter, the numbers will be even more terrifying.

If you hurry to hunt now to replenish the skins you want, it is estimated that there will not be enough hairy animals within a radius of dozens of miles.

Therefore, this problem of increasing shortage of animal skins is the reason why Ye Feng wants to make linen as soon as possible.

Just when Ye Feng was very distressed, a clansman hurriedly said: "Ye Feng, I remember, I threw a piece of grass into the water before, and it turned out that its skin is very easy to peel, should we give it a try?" ”

When Ye Feng heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately adopted this suggestion, and took a few people to throw these ramie into the river.

Two days later, when Ye Feng came here, he pulled a straw and peeled it gently, and found that compared to before soaking, he really peeled a lot.

But it's still a little stiffer when peeled off.

"Looks like we'll have a few more days to soak!"

This time, Ye Feng simply discounted, and the raw materials still needed urgent reasons, and after half a month, he took out these ramie stalks from the river.

This time, when I peeled the skin, it was really smooth, and I easily peeled off the stem and skin of ramie.

The next step is to formally extract the fibers, Ye Feng noticed that there is a thick outer skin on the outside of the hemp fiber, as long as the outer skin can be removed, the inner fibers can be obtained.

He rubbed the ramie skin in the water, and if so, he could get rid of the outer skin, but it was too inefficient.

So, he hurriedly ordered a washboard from the industrial team, rubbed it several times, and it didn't take long to get white and flawless ramie fiber.

Ye Feng was overjoyed, he had been busy for so long, and finally made the first fiber.

Of course, the fiber extracted now is still very rough, and there is even a little prick, if it is made into clothes, there must be some itching on the body.

But the technology is like that, and there is only the right to wear it, anyway, primitive people are not like modern people, all of them are rough and thick, and there should be no problem.

Now the fiber is still very wet, if it is late, it will definitely be eroded by water, so Ye Feng is dried on a bamboo pole, and carefully combed with a wooden comb to make it smooth and neat.

With fiber, the next step is textiles.

Coming to this point, Ye Feng suddenly found that in front of the textile, the problem of extracting fibers that he had encountered before was simply a trivial matter.

Ye Feng's concept of weaving has only been seen in costume TV series, and the one who operates the loom is either a good wife or a good mother, Ye Feng can't wait to get into the loom in his memory now, and carefully observe its structure.

But then again, before weaving, there seems to be another step called spinning, right?

Ye Feng suddenly thought of it, but he couldn't be sure.

He scratched at his hair in distress, not knowing what to do.

In the end, he couldn't think about it hard, so he grabbed Chu Yun, in his mind, the people who have been engaged in the textile production industry for thousands of years are often women, Chu Yun should know a little bit about it, right?

Well, he's sick and rushed to the doctor.

Chu Yun couldn't laugh or cry on his face, in ancient times, if he caught a woman casually, he would definitely be able to understand a little, if it was put on a modern woman......

Except for textile mills, it is clear that you can't get in touch with it in life, right?

"Well, before weaving, there is indeed a step of spinning!" Chu Yun first determined Ye Feng's previous thoughts.

"But for spinning, I went to my grandmother's house when I was a kid and saw her do it once." Chu Yunzai carefully recalled for a while and said.

When Ye Feng heard this, he was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly said, "You learned it, right?" ”

Chu Yun rolled his eyes and said, "Who has the leisure to learn that thing?" Not to mention whether I could learn or not, I was only eight years old at the time, and it is still a question whether I can remember it or not. ”

Ye Feng's face stiffened, and he said, "Then you said so much, isn't it nonsense?" ”
