Chapter Twenty-Four: The Witch's Ambition

The mothers of the 7 little children each coaxed their children, took the crooked straw sandals in the hands of the little children, and looked at the delicate and small straw sandals in Huang Yan's hands, and poked their son's head behind their backs.

The 7 little children were a little out of breath now because they were crying too fiercely just now, although the words they said were still a little incompatible, and they were intermittent, but their mother still understood that the straw sandals on Huang Yan's hand were from Chen Chao's hand.

Wu also took off the straw sandals on his feet and returned them to Chen Chao, and also sat next to the rabbit nest and watched him weave straw sandals.

After taking the straw sandals, he took a look, because the little children were busy playing before, and did not make new straw ropes, he had to dismantle the straw sandals that had been braided with soles before, and re-braided them in front of the women of the collection team, and Huang Yan also returned to the team, and joined the team of rubbing straw ropes with a shrug and crying.

The women of the gathering team have all had experience in weaving rattan baskets, and the straw sandals are only slightly different in the way they are woven on the soles, and the women seem to have an innate talent for this kind of thing, but after seeing it once, they can understand it.

It's just that now the efficiency of the grass rope team is too slow, so under the mobilization of Wu, the men and old people of the entire tribe have joined the grass rope army.

From sunset to dinner, since the straw rope was not enough for all the women to start weaving straw sandals together, a part of the women were divided to prepare for cooking.

After dinner, the whole tribe gathered around and rubbed the straw ropes with the campfire by the moonlight. The first good ones were the straw sandals of the 8 little kids.

When it came to weaving straw sandals worn by adults, I encountered a problem, that is, adults are tall, short, strong and thin, and their feet are not the same size, so you can't just put the shoes on one person's feet and measure them.

Now there is no size, and it is not easy to score. So Chen Chao found a few people with different foot sizes to come out, men, women, the elderly, and children, men's have three sizes: large, medium and small, the old man's belong to the man's, and the woman's also has large, medium and small, but in fact, the women's don't have to worry about it, because they can basically make it up and wear it themselves.

And there's no need to divide it so thinly, because it's actually like a cotton slipper, and you need to leave a certain amount of space to fit it into a foot wrapped in animal skin.

Now I must have knitted the straw sandals for winter directly, because it was about to be winter, and the reason for knitting them first was because they were making too much noise, and the materials used to weave the children's straw sandals were also small, and the speed was also fast, and the effect would be produced quickly.

Besides, the women also need certain materials to practice their hands, and when the time comes, they still have to make a pair of straw sandals for winter wear.

Chen Chao asked the women of the collection team to first weave the large, medium and small sole samples according to their size, as well as the size of the ankles and calves, and let them each weave one first, as for distinguishing the left and right feet, it is not possible for the time being.

Besides, now you have to wear it, you can keep warm from the cold when the time comes, and both feet are the same, and when the left and right feet can't reach the technology, it doesn't need to be different~~~

The moonlight fell like a veil over the earth, the breeze between heaven and earth was light, the mother lynx was holding the bird's nest, her children were crouching under the tree and looking up at their mother, the river was murmuring, schools of fish were swimming, and there were little bubbles in the water that they spit out.

The bonfire was still burning, and the people of the Tianyuan tribe put aside the rubbed straw ropes, rubbed their eyes, and returned to the cave, falling asleep.

Chen Chao woke up early in the morning, and the sun hadn't come out yet. The children who rubbed the straw rope yesterday did not wake up today because they were tired all day, but he became the first person in the tribe to wake up.

I went out and saw the pool in the ashes of the grass and trees, and after a day, it should be almost over. Whether to wear stinky leather or fragrant leather in winter, it's a matter of doing so!

Chen Chao came to the pond where the lynx skins were put yesterday, and because the water from the top of the ash pond was not brought out yesterday, the hides were all black.

But don't panic...

Wait for the sun to dry and wash it...

No one saw it anyway...

Chen Chao made a simple drying rack by himself, put the black animal skin on it, and returned to the tribe, and the women of the collection team had already risen.

The old man was preparing breakfast, and now Wu was no longer obsessed with pinching mud, but instead kneading straw ropes. However, due to the hard work of the old people before, there are now 50 pots, 100 bowls, and 100 spoons in the tribe, and they don't think the clay pots are of much use for the time being, so they don't make them.

Because pots can not only boil water, but also store water, and they are all with lids, plus 50 pots are not used for cooking every time, which has met the beautiful ideal of 1 pot per person and 1 bowl per person.

But for the time being, it's still in the state of clay embryos, because I've been doing it, and I can't find time to burn the pottery again recently, so I plan to burn two or three batches at a time when I have time.

However, Wu has already thought about it, wait for the spring of next year to make another batch, let Yuan or Chen Chao take the boys in the tribe over the mountain, go to other tribes to exchange some population, as long as we always have a clay pot, we can always take it to exchange population with other tribes! You know, in the past, one stone basin could be exchanged for 2 women!

As long as we keep changing, one day, we will also become a big tribe of 100 people!

The gathering team seems to be addicted to weaving straw sandals now, although they only have to make a pair in 4 hours, so their real strength last night was that after weaving their own little boy's straw sandals, they knitted an extra foot of someone in the hunting team.

However, due to the huge team, there were 19 people, and 9.5 pairs of straw sandals were made up in one night, plus the one that Chen Chao knitted at the beginning, that is, just 10 pairs.

However, there is another problem that it was not planned when making it, and the size of the weaving chosen by everyone was inconsistent, resulting in although there were indeed 10 pairs of straw sandals, only 3 pairs of sizes could be matched.

So it was a meal as fierce as a tiger, and the record was 0.5.

But Yuan and Wu didn't see it that way, they began to try on their new shoes, and they only patronized the hehehe, smirking, not realizing at all that the concept of collecting the power of 50 people in the entire tribe and successfully creating three pairs of straw sandals in one night ~~~~

But it's a pity that I can't wear it now, but Chen Chao calculated that the collection team is actually quite powerful, otherwise I wouldn't be in a hurry to build Mawozi straw sandals tonight, and I can make a batch of ones like the ones that Huang Yan wore on their feet.

After explaining to the women of the gathering team, the hunting team set off, and it didn't take long for the gathering team to set off, weaving straw shoes, which can only be done in spare time, and I still have to do my own work on weekdays~~
