Chapter 22: Weaving Straw Shoes

After throwing the lynx skin into the black water, Chen Chao returned to the tribe. The water for nitrate animal skins does need warm water, but now that the sun is high in the sky, there is no water that will freeze, so Chen Chao left with confidence.

Since the hunting team is resting today, they will eat two meals today, one in the morning and one in the evening, and if you are hungry, you can eat the stored chestnuts, or go down to the river to catch fish and eat.

Chen Chao originally planned to upgrade the spear, but when he thought that the moa's feathers had been cleaned by Wu Huohuo, he hated it so much, but he couldn't do anything with Wu.

Since the last time he explained that he wanted to leave a fish bladder, the old people in the tribe would pay attention to it when they killed the fish, so now there are a lot of fish bladders in the tribe.

And some of them have been thrown away after they have been left for a long time. Chen Chao went to take a look, there were still yesterday's, so let's just get some fish maw glue today.

Thinking of the fish maw glue, thinking of the feathers of the moa, thinking of the feathers of the moa, thinking of his spear that has not yet been upgraded, and the bow and arrow that has not yet been born, Chen Chao feels that the roots of his teeth are beginning to itch...

Although it is useless to make fish maw glue now, it has come... So Chen Chao made some easily.

There is still some time after getting the fish maw glue, it is estimated that the lynx skin will not be nitrated until tomorrow, Chen Chao went to see the rabbit nest again, and the collection team brought back rabbits a few times, and the number of rabbits in the Tianyuan tribe finally broke through the 100 mark, reaching 110 rabbits.

And there are actually more than 10 female rabbits who are pregnant?

Seeing the thick hay on the rabbit nest, Chen Chao simply pondered the preparation of the draft shoes, anyway, they want to make a nest for the little rabbit is also rabbit hair...

As soon as he saw Chen Chao come to the vicinity of the rabbit nest, Huang Yan led his 7 friends to surround him, and his precious wheat had already been carefully taken down by him and hidden in the broken clay pot.

Although the special-shaped clay pot was broken, there was still something to be placed at the bottom, but the crack was very sharp, Chen Chao kept telling him not to cut himself, so he picked up a lot of broken animal skins and wrapped the cracks of the clay pot, but fortunately, the special-shaped clay pot was not big and did not need a lot of animal skins.

They also thought that Chen Chao was going to start weaving straw ropes again, and they were all waiting for it, and the straw ropes that they contributed to the tribe to dry the lynx skins last time had not been returned to them, and they had not had a bird to eat for many nights~

More discerning, he trotted back to the cave and brought bundles of hay.

Chen Chao touched Huang Yan's head and began to think about things.

Because winter is approaching, and the new furs collected by the tribe have only 21 large skins and 27 small skins so far, plus the previous stock, it is not enough to reach the level of two skins per person.

It is impossible to have extra leather to wrap all the feet, you know, whether you can go out in winter depends entirely on your feet, even if you are dressed as warm as spring, of course, there are no conditions to dress warm like spring now...

In addition, the amount of leather required to wrap the feet is very large, because there is nothing that can hold the leather in place.

It's also unrealistic to tie it up with vines, the feet are not like the body place, you can fix it with a tie, it needs to touch the ground at any time, which means that the calf can be fixed, but the instep can't.

However, it is also possible to punch holes in the leather of the instep, but there are not so many skins yet.

At this time, if you can have a pair of straw sandals to wear in winter, so that you can cut off the limbs of the animal skin separately, wrap them around your feet as socks, and then wear them inside the straw sandals, it can already be very warm, and there will be no problem of grinding your feet.

And the amputation of the limbs of the animal skin will not have any effect on the use of the animal skin itself.

Of course, there are two types of straw sandals, those worn in winter and those worn in summer. In summer, sandals similar to flip-flops or slotted sandals are generally called unilateral, while in winter they are another, generally called hemp nests or hairy nests.

Somewhat similar to straw snow boots.

The weaving of straw sandals is actually not complicated, but there are many places that need to be repeated, not to mention, Chen Chao's requirements are simply reduced to a minimum.

There is also a set of special tools for weaving straw shoes: straw shoe rake, straw shoe chop, straw shoe hammer, straw shoe carrying and other family members.

But now there is nothing, Chen Chao has to start knitting with his feet, there is no need to think about wooden soles or anything, his request is very simple, it will be to weave a shoe frame that can wrap up his feet.

In winter, put the feet wrapped in animal skins to keep them warm.

As soon as they saw Chen Chao start to take hay, Huang Yan and his friends were also angry and took hay!

Chen Chao also felt very cute when he saw this group of little children looking serious, just right, maybe he could cultivate a group of straw sandals?

Anyway, these little kids don't have to go to school or do homework, so it's a pity not to flicker around to work~~~

Huang Yan asked curiously, "Straw rope, what are you doing?" ”

He is the fastest learner of speaking among this group of little children, and he has never been afraid of Chen Chao, on the contrary, he is very willing to be close to Chen Chao. Unlike other children, they are always afraid of any adult male except their mother, except for the elderly.

Chen Chao often laughed secretly in his heart, 'Could this be a spiritual rhino? ’

"Wrap your feet, winter is coming, wear shoes." Chen Chao pointed to his feet and said.

Huang Yan nodded like a little adult, pretending to understand, but in fact, he didn't understand anything, he just repeated Chen Chao's words, "Oh, winter, wear shoes." ”

Seeing this, Chen Chao rubbed his little head, this was a bit like the children he had seen before, not like other children in this tribe, who were always timid.

In fact, the weaving of Ma Wozi straw shoes is a bit similar to a rattan basket, and it is also a cross-knit method, but the difference is that when it comes to the top of the sole of the foot, you have to change the braiding.

That is, when the sole is converted to the upper, it needs to be crossed in a loop, so that it can be regarded as a braided sole.

Then select a part of the hay at the bottom, stand up first, continue to weave, or use the cross technique, and when all the hay is up, you can weave according to the trend of standing up.

While weaving straw sandals, Chen Chao corrected the wrong direction or method in the little children, and compared the straw sandals in their hands on their small, black feet.

In fact, weaving directly with hay is still a bit fine and soft, and it is best to make straw ropes and then weave straw shoes, which will be stronger. Chen Chao thought in his heart.

What he didn't notice was that in the moment he wandered, 4 of the 8 children had already run away, after all, this matter was too boring.

Well, I should have caught all the straw ropes that I rubbed for 10 hours a day...

Let them experience the feeling of entering the factory in advance~~
