15, shoes

"Do you need mud to make shoes?" Han Xuening is more familiar with mud, at some times, mosquitoes in the tribe are very rampant, in order to prevent mosquito bites, they usually wrap mud around their bodies to resist mosquito bites.

This little method comes from the inheritance of the older generation!

However, the mud in Zhao Yunxiang's hand was not smeared on his body, but a model!

Because there are no tools, Zhao Yunxiang is basically zero foundation in making shoes!

He likes to challenge the impossible, to create tools without tools, and human beings themselves stand on top of everything because of the clever use of nature.

The root of our daily necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all from nature, and the magical nature is in a variety of forms, and anything can be used, depending on how you use it.

Zhao Yunxiang skillfully played with the yellow mud in his hand, as a rural child, he grew up playing with mud, and made a long oval with mud in three or two strokes.

"Put your feet up!" Zhao Yunxiang put the mud on the leaves and motioned for Han Xuening to put his feet on it.

"???" Although Han Xuening was puzzled, she still did it, after all, this man was the person she respected the most, he was a god who made flames and all kinds of gadgets!

After Han Xuening put her feet up, Zhao Yunxiang immediately drew a silhouette drawing on the mud with a sharpened wooden stick along her feet.

"That's it!"

After drawing the outline of the foot, Zhao Yunxiang enlarged it by 1 centimeter along the outline again, and then began to dig down the enlarged outline on the mud.

After digging about 1 centimeter deep, the shape of a shoe sole appeared on the mud, and in order to prevent slipping, he also deliberately drew some lines with small wooden strips to increase friction.

The soles of our shoes are covered with regular and good-looking stripes, which are not only designed to look good, but also to increase friction, after all, shoes that are too slippery are easy to slip.

Make two molds for Han Xuening's soles, one with one left foot and one with the right foot, and then put the mold around the fire to slowly let it dry.

The hardness of the dry soil will become high, and the mold of this sole can be used several more times.

After a short baking, the molds of the two shoes have dried, and the fired soil is still hot, which is picked out with a wooden stick and placed on the ground, and then the new rubber mixed with charcoal is poured into the mold.

The temperature contained in the clay mold is softening the rubber, allowing it to be further filled into every corner of the model, which is more conducive to the molding of the sole.

Taking advantage of the slow cooling of the soles, Zhao Yunxiang made two more models of the soles for himself, poured the rubber into them, and then gave Han Xuening another task.

"This vine, go to the beach and wash it with seawater, take a stone to break it up, I just need this white thin line, the longer the better!" Zhao Yunxiang held a few thin lines in his hand, these thin lines are vine fibers, and they are extremely tough after being soaked in water.

"Okay!" Han Xuening took the vines to the beach and started making!

Zhao Yunxiang came to the woods with the spearhead of a relatively satisfactory stone spear and cut the bark with the wavy blade on the side of the stone spear.

An unknown tree, the bark is flat, and the thickness is about 3 mm, Zhao Yunxiang cut a large piece, he doesn't care about the life or death of this tree at all.

After taking the bark, it is roasted on a fire, and after the bark is roasted, it becomes hard and looks like cardboard.

Ten minutes later......

Han Xuening finished the work of making vine threads, and Zhao Yunxiang took out the rubber soles from the mold, and the warm rubber soles were basically formed, and the appearance was a little irregular, but there were also some looks.

Warm rubber gradually hardens under the action of cold sea water!

"That's it!"

Everything is ready, Zhao Yunxiang has all the tools in place!

The rubber sole is added with bark, and the bark is cut with stone chips according to the size of the sole, and the fur of the guinea pig is cut at the same time, and the three begin to sew together.

The bone needles are sharp, thick and powerful, but it is indeed difficult to penetrate rubber, bark, and guinea pig fur at the same time, and the rough vine fibers have a lot of friction, and it is not easy to penetrate the rubber.

However, all this is difficult for Zhao Yunxiang, he has long been prepared, today's guinea pig meat squeezed out a lot of animal fat, bone needles and vine thin lines coated with grease, can reduce friction.

After more than half an hour, two pairs of shoes were completed!

The shoes are of the lace-up kind, the laces are made of vine-woven rope, and the holes in the laces are burned with small sticks lit on fire, and the flame can easily burn through the animal's fur and form a charring circle.

"These are the shoes?"

Han Xuening watched Zhao Yunxiang skillfully put on his shoes, and then tied his shoelaces, and the whole person was stunned.

The soles of the feet are too well protected, right?

Zhao Yunxiang tested the shoes and felt that there was one place that he was not satisfied with.

There are many threads under the soles, so it won't take long to grind off the threads when walking, so Zhao Yunxiang, who pursues perfection, put the rubber shoes on the fire and roast them, and evenly coat the sole mold with a thin layer of rubber.

Wait for the rubber to become soft, and then fuse the finished shoes with the thin rubber in the mold.

As a result, the sole is 2 mm taller, and the sewn thread of the original sole is protected by a rubber layer, so that the shoe will not disintegrate due to excessive friction.

In fact, the connection of the sole is best to use glue, which he does not have for the time being, so he can only find it slowly.

After the two pairs of shoes were completed, Han Xuening seemed to be wearing shoes for the first time, washing her scarred feet on the beach, and putting on gray shoes, after all, this is made of guinea pig fur, and the guinea pig fur is gray and black.

"Is this the shoe?"

Han Xuening walked on the land with shoes, primitive people may be a little unaccustomed to wearing shoes for the first time, they have been barefoot since birth, and they have long been accustomed to having their feet stabbed by sharp thorns when running on land.

Zhao Yunxiang didn't dare not wear shoes, because there was everything in the forest, and the big centipede he saw during the day today was still vivid.

If he accidentally stepped on the centipede with his bare feet, then Brother Xiang would definitely die of disgust, but with his shoes on, he would crush the centipede!

"It's better to have shoes!" Zhao Yunxiang was satisfied with the shoes he made, the softness of the rubber and the solid support of the bark in the middle made him very comfortable to walk.

"Hey, that's right, Simba!" Zhao Yunxiang seemed to have forgotten one thing, "The pig you killed just now hasn't been brought back yet!"

Simba is looking up at the wild cat in the tree, and the wild cat has no way to escape, so he can only lie on the tree and squint and nap.

"Roar??"

Simba also felt that he had to bring the pig back, his master seemed to like to eat pork very much, and it was a wild boar of more than 300 catties!

......

When he came to the woods with Simba again, he saw something eating a flower pig from a long distance, Zhao Yunxiang squinted his eyes and glanced at it, "Don't want the pig! Let's go back, that guy...... We can't afford to mess with us!".

"Roar ......"

Simba nodded, and also retreated with Zhao Yunxiang.
