"Although we will not have children for the time being, from now on, you two will be my wives, and eternal life will not change."

"Well, eternal life will never change."

Su Yan and Xiaohua Xiaoyue sisters talked a lot about sex and having children, Xiaohua Xiaoyue was a little shy, but she also listened carefully.

……

The next day, Su Yan took the escort team to the hemp planting area outside the wall, hemp is the harvest season, as for the pepper, the seeds planted will not bear fruit until the third year, it is still early to harvest, and it is expected that the dragon tribe will not be able to harvest once before moving.

Hemp is planted on nearly two acres of land, of which about two-thirds of the planted area is grown.

Su Yan, Jian and more than a dozen other people approached the hemp plant with a pottery bowl, carefully picked up the hemp seeds on the hemp body and put them in the pottery bowl, and when the pottery bowl was full, the hemp seeds were poured into the large pottery placed not far away, the large pottery was flawed, but the gap was not big, and the hemp seeds could not fall out.

In less than a day, the hemp seeds of two acres of land were all wiped out.

Modern planting of hemp has been cultivated by artificial generations, one acre of hemp seeds is more than 150 kilograms, and the wild hemp planted by Su Yan is naturally far inferior, and two acres of land are about 90 catties of hemp seeds.

From more than 90 catties of one catty, it is also a gratifying progress, if more than 90 catties of hemp seeds are all planted as planting, three or four hundred acres of land can be planted, and tens of thousands of catties of hemp seeds can be harvested.

I'm afraid that it will only take a few years for the people of the Dragon Tribe to eat hemp seeds as a staple food, but Su Yan does not plan to do this, compared to other crops, the yield of hemp seeds is really low, and it is necessary to grow more hemp seeds as a staple food.

Hemp seeds are only a product of hemp, and Su Yan values another product of hemp more - hemp fiber, which can be used to weave linen cloth and weave fishing nets.

After the hemp seeds were finished, Su Yan took people to peel the hemp skin, this time the hemp skin was not to pull off the whole hemp and then peel it, but to peel the hemp skin directly from the hemp that was still growing in the soil.

One person holds a sharp stone tool or pottery fragment and peels off the hemp skin from the hemp body, and when the hemp skin is peeled, everyone's hands are dyed with cyan, and they need to be washed with water and plant ash to wash off the cyan.

The speed of peeling hemp skin is faster, it will be over in one morning, and the harvested hemp skin is much more than hemp seeds, and the weight is expected to exceed two hundred kilograms, Su Yan guessed that the final harvest of hemp fiber can be about one hundred kilograms.

Under the command of Su Yan, the whole large pottery was moved out, and the bundles of hemp skins were put into the large pottery, and the river water was poured into these large pottery from the river, and the time of soaking the hemp skin took six days or even longer, and the ultimate goal was to be able to easily separate the hemp fibers.

When soaking the hemp skin, you don't need too many people, only Su Yan himself is enough, and Su Yan asked Jian to take the escort team to collect the fruit.

After about seven or eight days, the hemp skin was finally soaked, and Su Yan gently tore it with his hands to separate the hemp fiber from the hemp skin.

There were too many hemp skins, and Su Yan couldn't finish them alone, so Su Yan found a few clansmen who stayed in the tribe's residence to tear the hemp fibers together.

Then it is decided to use hemp fiber, weaving linen cloth is definitely not good, textile technology Su Yan has no clue for the time being, can only slowly explore in the future, now hemp fiber is still used in weaving fishing nets is better, after all, the dragon tribe has found the traces of the river, the year after tomorrow may have to move to the vicinity of the river, when the time can be used fishing nets in the river.

After deciding on the use of hemp fiber, Su Yan asked several clansmen who followed him to tear hemp fiber to knead the thin hemp fiber into a slightly thicker hemp rope.

Giving the task of kneading hemp rope to the clansmen, Su Yan took out the hemp rope that was rubbed with hemp fiber last year and prepared to try to weave a fishing net.

In addition to fishing nets, there is another option, the ground cage, that is, the elongated type of fish cage, the ground cage can be put in the river and wait for the harvest, but the ground cage is suitable for catching small fish, the big fish are somewhat powerless, and making the ground cage is more troublesome than weaving fishing nets.

The small river in front of the dragon tribe can be used to catch fish in a fish cage, but when switching to a large river, a fishing net is a better choice.

There are about three specifications of hemp rope needed to weave fishing nets, and Su Yan named them No. 1 hemp rope, No. 2 hemp rope, and No. 3 hemp rope respectively.

No. 3 hemp rope is the thickest, but it is used the least, mainly after the fishing net is thrown into the river, the rope needs to be pulled to pull the fishing net and the fish in the net out of the river, and the No. 3 rope bears the greatest weight, so it is the thickest.

No. 2 hemp rope is thinner than No. 3 rope, mainly as a branch of the fishing net, No. 3 hemp rope is the thinnest, but used the most, the main grid of the fishing net is woven with No. 3 hemp rope, the dense grid can disperse the weight, so the No. 3 hemp rope can be a little thinner.

The hemp rope directly rubbed out with hemp fiber is the No. 3 hemp rope, the three No. 3 hemp ropes together are the No. 2 hemp rope, and the three No. 2 hemp ropes together are the No. 1 hemp rope.

Let's try weaving an experimental small fishing net, which is round, centered on a dot and has a radius of about 0.5 meters.

On the ground, first determine a point as a dot, and then press one end of a rope about 0.5 meters long on the dot, then straighten the rope to draw a circle around the dot, and then use the No. 2 hemp rope to form a circle with a diameter of about one meter according to the traces, and then use two No. 2 hemp ropes about one meter long to connect the circle up and down, left and right, which is the branch of the fishing net.

Then use the thinnest No. 3 hemp rope to weave a grid on a circle to see what size the smallest fish you want to catch, such as a half-catty fish or a one-catty fish, and determine the size of the grid according to the size of the grid that the smallest fish cannot drill out of the net.

There were some other things that Su Yan had to keep busy, and it took about two days for Su Yan to weave the net, which was only one meter in diameter.

The fact that the nets are woven does not mean that the nets are officially completed and can be thrown into the river for fishing, and there is still an important step that has not been carried out.

The weight of the fishing net woven with hemp rope is undoubtedly relatively light, and the sinking speed of such a fishing net into the river will be very slow, and it will not be able to catch the fish, so it is necessary to tie a small stone to increase the weight at the outermost end of the fishing net, when such a fishing net is thrown into the river, the small stone will make the outermost circle of the fishing net accelerate the sinking, making the fishing net easier to catch the fish, and at the same time, such a fishing net person can stand on the bank of the river and throw it farther.

Then tie the thickest No. 1 hemp rope to the dot of the fishing net, and the whole fishing net is complete.

Although the first experimental fishing net was small, it was almost impossible to use the small river in front of the Dragon Tribe's residence to fish, after all, this small river was also very small, so Su Yan could only find a vacant land, pretend that there was a big river in front of him, grab the fishing net and throw it out by himself, which looked very stupid.
