The matter of going out after eating is the first time in the tribe. After something was broken, change began to appear.

Da Ji came out of the chestnuts, and the half-basket of fish on the side of the forest trail could not be enjoyed exclusively, so everyone evened out the chestnuts and fish, and the woman and the child had a beautiful meal. The men followed behind and picked up a lot of food, and they were all happy.

After eating, everyone habitually sat down to rest, and Dahime roared. The woman has a basket for each person, and she is not satisfied with it and does not come back. Men don't talk about building tools, those who use spears are just one spear, and whatever tools they hit, they all take spears and go to beat chestnuts. The unripe ones on the trees were also brought back. It's not enough for you to eat like this.

The mood of going out after eating is completely different, everyone packed up, and it is estimated that it was more than ten o'clock, and then they walked out slowly with the basket on their backs with the nursing child. Lin Ji brought food to the eagle, and had already taken the child to the river.

When the sun was setting in the west, Lin Ji and the children came back with two and a half baskets of fish and shrimp. And the children's bellies are all round.

Lin Ji ate a meal at noon according to his own habits, and this meal Lin Ji also taught them how to grill fish and shrimp with wild onions and perilla, which made them all unable to stop, otherwise there would definitely be one more basket of fish and shrimp. This is also the only meal that Lin Ji has not eaten in the small town so far.

The children also brought home a handful of wild onions and perilla. They're going to show their hands to the adults tonight, too.

Soon after, the women also returned. At this time, it should be about four o'clock.

The women also carried baskets full of chestnuts, and although most of them were burred, the harvest was worth several days before.

The women came back happily, but many of the children who went to nurse were crying. The children had tender skin, could not sit still, and were pricked by the burrs of chestnuts.

Lin Ji saw that the sister in Luo Qi's arms was also crying. Lin Ji took his sister from Luo Qi's arms, asked the reason and the part of the prick, and saw that half of the thorn was still left in the tender meat, and couldn't help but be quite speechless in this era and this mother.

Now there is no suitable needle, and many times the thorn in the flesh can almost only wait for it to grow together with the flesh. But if the thorn is just pierced in, there should be a head left on the outside, and when you pull it out, pay attention to it, you should be able to make sure that the thorn does not stay inside.

Lin Ji took the time to run to the town with a flash mob, took a small piece of candy for his sister, and found a needle by the way, and picked the thorn while no one was paying attention. The little sister chirped and lay down in Lin Ji's arms and quieted down.

As soon as Lin Ji threw the needle back to the small city, Cai Yu limped over with a false step, needless to say, this one must have been pricked.

"Did you say straw sandals that don't stick your feet?" Caiyu is full of resentment. The soles of her feet were still relatively tender, and she had been pricked several times a day. The thought of running into the chestnut forest for a long time left her feeling numb on the soles of her feet.

Now the fishing methods of the forest trail are beginning to bear fruit. Da Ji also accepted Lin Ji's suggestion and got the chestnuts back regardless of whether they were raw or cooked, and the men were all there today, and Da Ji did not mention the matter of infanticide, and the four children should have been saved. It's time for Lin Ji to make good on his promise.

There was still a period of time before it got dark, and Lin Ji was not ambiguous, and said: "I want a finger-thick rope, the more the better, and I will weave it for you now." ”

The weaving of straw sandals is not complicated, and you should be able to weave straw skirts or similar things. To put it bluntly, it's a process of turning the rope into a block. Arrange the warp properly, thread the weft into the warp, and theoretically make up everything. What you should pay attention to in straw sandals is to make the shoes strong and tightened the gaps.

When Caiyu heard that he could make it now, he immediately stopped lame and ran back to the cave in two steps and took out a handful of straw ropes. Ever since Lin Ji started weaving straw skirts, she has rubbed a lot of straw ropes for backup, and now she uses them.

These ropes are a little thinner, but the demonstration should be enough.

Lin Ji took the rope and gestured for a while, then nailed a small wooden stake to the ground, cut three sections of straw rope of about two feet, tied it tightly in the middle, and fixed it on the small wooden stake. Then another rope is staggered through the six warp threads, and it is tightened every few degrees. When this surface is knitted to about ten centimeters, six warp threads are dropped together, so that the back part is a little narrower, just as the position of the heel.

When it is about 20 centimeters long, let the colored feather come over and measure it, and when it is long enough, it will be knotted and finished, and the excess rope will be cut off, and a sole will be formed.

The sole is ready, the upper part is pierced with two holes in the front and back, and the rope is put on to make the appearance of the sandals of the later generations, and a pair of straw sandals is ready.

The braided shoes are about a centimeter thick, with few gaps in between, which should avoid most of the thorny burrs.

Caiyu put his foot in, took two steps cautiously, and quickly took it off again, and ran to Daji to offer treasure.

Da Ji was counting today's harvest with a few older people, and was discussing how to stack so many chestnuts. The tribe's cave is too small, and it is a sweet annoyance to squeeze dozens of people in winter.

Many adults were also listening, waiting for Daji to count and distribute the food to prepare for dinner. The two baskets of fish in the forest trail have spoiled many people, and they can't enjoy eating in the morning, so they should be able to eat a full meal now.

Caiyu presented the straw sandals, and Daji looked at them carefully and wondered, "How can this be on the feet?" ”

Caiyu immediately put it on and began to demonstrate. I also took a burr and stepped on it carefully. The shoes were not pierced, and the burrs were flattened. Caiyu immediately became angry, and walked around with one foot on this shoe. Treading on the grass, stepping on the gravel, with a smug face.

The surrounding adults began to talk again. Although the soles of their feet have thick calluses, these calluses have various scars on them. This was injured by various sharp objects while running in the forest.

If these shoes really worked, they would have suffered a lot less. The woman went to gather where there were thorns. Men should also be able to run faster while hunting.

"You got it? Is it hard to get it? Da Ji saw that everyone was excited, and also saw the benefits of this thing, and asked.

Cai Yu said: "This is a trace, it's not difficult to get it, I've learned it." ”

Da Ji heard that it was Lin Ji's masterpiece again, so he took everyone to move over, just in time to see Lin Ji seriously knitting another shoe.

Da Ji looked at it and felt that it was indeed not difficult to weave, not much different from weaving rattan baskets. She was just about to speak, when she heard the bear paw behind her say: "Not to mention the cumbersome clothes of this thing, it can still be used for ordinary short thorns, what is the use if it encounters long thorns?" ”

That's the bone in the egg. There is no solution in the world that can solve all problems. This straw sandal can avoid most of the punctures, which is already considered progress, and it is impossible to avoid all punctures.

Lin Ji was not annoyed when he heard this, but said: "To make it stronger, and not afraid of being pierced by thorns, you can actually sew one or two layers of animal skin on it, preferably strong cowhide." The more sewn it up, the stronger it gets. If you sew the upper of your shoe, you can keep it warm in winter. ”

Bear Paw said angrily: "What's the difference between that and wrapping it with a hide? ”

Lin Ji said: "There is a difference, the animal skin is difficult to get." Grass is everywhere. ”

Everyone burst into laughter. Only then did I understand that Lin Ji was right. Usually every inch of animal skin must be carefully preserved, and few can be made into shoes. But this kind of straw sandals can be worn and made at any time, which is really convenient.

More thoughtful, remembered some other words of Lin Ji. If you plan to turn back to the animal skin, try to wrap it in animal skin.

Da Ji said: "Tomorrow the man will go out to chase the wolf." Let's start by knitting a pair for each man. Hopefully tomorrow the men will give us a big victory! ”

This drive out of the wolves also involves the issue of territory, which can be regarded as a relatively large war. Daiki takes it very seriously. On this day, the distribution of dinner was also unusual, and it became mainly male. The women just sat silently around and grilled the food, and had no further opinions.
