Chapter Ninety-Eight: Thousand Layers of Bottoms, Chicken Po Shoes

The Rock Tribe now has 165 people, and only eight are over forty years old, five of whom are elders. Seventy-six between the ages of thirteen and forty, seventy-two between the ages of five and thirteen, and nine infants and toddlers.

There are more than 20 people who have been exchanged from other tribes, and there are also more than 20 people who have been asked from the Mang tribe, so they have made up the current situation.

The warriors were officially numbered at forty-two, and Yong led nine to be responsible for the security of the tribe, while also hunting nearby; Prabhu led twenty men as the main combat force, and it was also a spear throwing team; Haru led a ten-man bow and arrow squad as a scout and hunted lightly. Twenty-two potters were allocated.

The pottery team was led by Su Yang's mother, Rong, and had a fixed number of 12 people; The number of people in the salt boiling team was temporarily reduced, because there was not much salt water every day, tentatively set at six, led by Su Yang's aunt; The collection team is still retained, because rabbit grass is needed, led by Su Yang's aunt, and the number of people is uncertain. In addition, there are such as Bi Bo who weaves bamboo, two people who polish stone tools, and Yezi who makes bows, all of which belong to technical jobs, and the treatment is the same on the surface, but Su Yang occasionally sends some private goods.

In principle, pregnant women will not go out, but they will do what they can, there is no forced distribution of labor, and food is now equal to that of adults.

These people were assigned a total of seventeen pots. Nowadays, Su Yang's method is to recognize Tao but not people, and see Tao to distribute food when he eats.

From the age of ten to thirteen, it is four people and one Tao, but if a child of this age officially joins a certain team, the salary will be improved, and at the same time, they will also have some rations shared by their parents, so they will not go hungry.

There were also children over the age of five, who accounted for sixteen pottery, and the elderly and elders accounted for eight pottery. Of course, Su Yang also took a pottery himself.

The total number of more than 60 pottery used, each time you need to prepare more than 60 servings of food, can be controlled from the source, such as taking out ten catties can also be divided, taking out twenty catties can also be divided, as long as the plan is made, you can spend the winter reasonably.

As for the canteen concept he proposed, it will still appear after the relocation. For example, when the hunting party is about to set off at dawn the next day, the people in the house have to get up in the middle of the night to cook food, so that the warriors can wake up and have enough to eat. At that time, it was time to recognize the bowl, and the food would be different depending on the type of work.

When the clay pot market is saturated, he will launch the bowl product in due course to continue to make money, take one step and see three steps, and the most important thing is to adapt to the current environment.

The clansmen are happily cooking food, and the elders don't need to do it themselves, and their own descendants come to help cook things. In the past, everyone knew that the elders ate better and more, but now it is equivalent to semi-public, and no one is dissatisfied. Anyway, the old people can't eat so much, and with the help of the juniors, they can pick up the leftovers to eat.

This makes the elders happy, and there are two different concepts for not eating enough and rewarding the juniors for not eating enough.

During the meal, he announced what was to be done, the pottery team continued to work, the rabbit grass could not be left behind, and the rest of the women, including the children, came to learn to weave en masse. The warriors sharpened their own weapons, practiced bows and arrows, and threw spears, and he would later teach them how to set traps.

For the time being, it has not reached the level of huddle heating and reducing consumption, and more than 2,000 catties of bacon have been stored, plus this batch of meat, on average, each person's ration can have more than 20 catties of meat, and the captive rabbits can also hang their lives at critical moments, bones can be boiled in soup, and a lot of plant tubers are also stored, as well as some nuts.

In previous years, I was able to get through it, but this year it is not a big problem, but if you want to live a better life, it is necessary to go out hunting.

Let's go both ways, making shoes and clothes that you can go out with, and practicing how to create traps at the same time, and almost three months of winter is not a challenge.

At the same time, he also took the opportunity to talk about some living habits, such as washing frequently, keeping dry and hygienic, using braziers correctly, laying reed beds, etc., and treating Yunyun immediately if he is sick.

Now the pottery has also been improved, mixed with some grass and wood ash for hanging pottery, the texture will be better, and after the relocation, Suyang will also start to build an earthen kiln.

The next day, it was raining sleet and there was no way to go out, so Bearingaugh selected some people to weave more bamboo frames with bamboo hats, and then fill them with bamboo leaves or bamboo shoot shells.

Su Yang was studying shoes, and he had already woven straw sandals out of pampas grass before, but straw sandals were not waterproof and breathable, so it didn't make much sense to wear them in winter.

He thought of mille-feuille soles, thought of cloth shoes, and thus thought of Ji Po shoes, the so-called "Ji Po shoes", which are actually cotton shoes. It is made of hand-beaten cloth shell into the base of the "mille-feuille bottom", and then the warm fabric is used as the "lining" and "face", between the lining and the face, and the cotton is sung. The shoes made of this are very warm.

The shape is like a hen holding a nest, so it is called chicken shoes. Later, it was not popular to wear cloth shoes, and people used woolen yarn to weave shoes, which was a miniature version of Ji Po shoes.

Su Yang wanted to try it, so he immediately put pottery on the fire, and chose some thicker tubers inside, it would be better if there were buds, wheat or something, but there was none, so he could only make do.

The leaves of the palm tree are used, one leaf is the size of a dustpan, and after the tubers are boiled, they are smeared on the top of the dumpling leaves, and seven or eight dumpling leaves overlap and stick together. This is making mille-feuille bottoms, which are considered alternatives.

The palm leaves were collected before, and they have been dried and yellowed, so they can be used just right, and the waterproofness is not to be said, and the hard points do not matter.

The rest of the people were not idle, he arranged to divide the remnants of animal skins, and when the time came, they had to wrap the edges, and the weaving of the grass did not stop, not weaving straw shoes, but making insoles, etc. Brown skin will also be used, as well as hemp silk, bone needles, etc.

To make a pair of chicken shoes to wear in winter, it is far more troublesome than cloth shoes and straw sandals, but everything has a familiar process, so many people, there are always some talented.

"I'm going to learn too." The merchant girl appeared to be very positive, but she wore the first pair of straw sandals from the primitive period around her neck instead of wearing them under her feet.

Su Yang said that he was very helpless, he gave the merchant girl shoes, but she regarded them as decorations or gifts, and refused to wear them.

"You've learned that you have to wear your own shoes!" He first got a vaccination, and then he made a template.

I chopped some wooden planks with an axe, and then made the shape of the soles of shoes, which were used to compare and cut the palm leaf mille-feuille bottom, that is, to determine the size, there were several sizes. If someone is not the right size, they will come and do it alone, or they will wear it.

Palm leaves are relatively hard, so it will be easier to cut, but there are no scissors, which is a problem.

For this reason, he had to contribute two veterinary knives first, and he fought hard for these feet.

He made a wooden template compared to the merchant girl's feet, and then he took the dumpling leaves that he had pasted before, covered the wooden board and cut it, with scalpel-like precision, and succeeded at one time. Of course, this requires two planks, and the left and right feet are not the same.

After the mille-feuille was ready, he wrapped the grass around it, like a belt, and wrapped it from beginning to end, and finally wrapped it with animal skins, which could actually be wrapped whole, but it was too wasteful, and the tribe was not so rich.

After doing this, it is time and effort to complete a pair of soles, which can take more than two days to complete a pair of soles.

The standard is to densely fill the entire sole. If you are rough, you can walk according to the circle pattern on your fingers, or walk around the periphery and walk horizontally and vertically on the inside, which can save a lot of man-hours.

A wrench is used to open the bow, and there is also a special ring on the sole of the shoe, which is full of small pits, which are used to resist the needle, but of course it is not available now, but fortunately, the hands of primitive people are rough enough.

"Come and see how I get the soles!" He was ready to show off the needlework that a single dog could do by sewing buttons.
