Chapter 127: Down Jacket
After educating her son, she continued to cook.
After dinner, Hammer taught Bai Yongjing some martial arts in the courtyard, and Chu Xintian found all the rabbit skins she had kept before and began sewing leather boots for Chu Yuan.
To be honest, before this era, Chu Xintian didn't know how to do needlework at all ≮ modern, what kind of clothes and shoes can't be bought in the mall, and who else makes clothes and shoes by himself?
But this era is different, and every woman has to be able to make clothes.
Last time, in order to make a robe for Bai Yongjing, Chu Xintian also learned a lot of clothes making skills from Niu Li.
Chu Xintian's hands are not skillful, because of her previous occupation, her fingers are also very flexible and ≈, needlework is not difficult for her.
But shoemaking is much more complicated than making clothes.
Especially this kind of fur boots, Chu Xintian had never made it before.
Chu Xintian could only try to recall the appearance of a certain foreign brand of cotton boots she had bought in her previous life, and according to that shape, she cut the leather and sewed it up.
Sewing leather boots is not the same as sewing clothes, the leather is thick and hard, it is not possible to use an ordinary needle at all, you need to poke small holes with an awl and sew them with a thick thread.
In this era when there are no big machines, all these things need to be done by hand, and the difficulty of operation can be imagined.
Chu Xintian didn't close her eyes all night, and when it was almost dawn, she sewed two boots.
These boots were made for Chu Yuan, Chu Xintian knew that Zhao Jiajun had gone to Yanbei, the entire northern territory was now winter, and Yanbei was no exception, Chu Xintian was afraid that Chu Yuan would freeze to death, so she wanted to give him winter clothes as soon as possible.
Maybe it's because of his younger brother, so even if he didn't sleep all night, Chu Xintian wasn't very tired.
After making the boots, Chu Xintian saw that the sky was about to dawn, so he hurriedly got off the kang to make breakfast.
Bai Yongjing goes to school every day, he is very tired, Hammer is a person who can't move his feet when he sees something delicious, and the food made by Chu Xintian can't be ambiguous at all.
Chu Xintian made a big pot of millet porridge with chestnuts and yams, baked a few flatbreads, mixed a plate of shredded radish, and fried a plate of wild eggs.
After it was done, Chu Xintian felt that there was still a shortage of meat.
Just then, the mother wolf came in through the back door with two ducks in her mouth.
"Great, Mother Wolf, thank you! I don't have any meat to eat!"
Chu Xintian hurriedly boiled a pot of boiling water and began to scald the duck down.
While dealing with eiderdown, a thought suddenly flashed through Chu Xintian's mind!
Chu Xintian suddenly thought of the most common winter clothes of modern people in the past - down jackets.
Down jackets are cotton clothes made with duck down and goose down instead of cotton.
Because of the fluffy, pathetic and light weight of down, down jackets are worn in cold places in the north to keep out the cold, and even scientists in the Arctic and Antarctic, where the temperature is lowest, will wear down jackets.
Chu Xintian thought that if he could make a down jacket for Chu Yuan, Chu Yuan, who he didn't use, would be frozen in the north.
Thinking of this, Chu Xintian hurriedly left the softest fluff from his neck to his stomach and put it into a small basket alone.
Chu Xintian also knew that to make a down jacket, the down of these two ducks was definitely not enough at present.
So, Chu Xintian went to the wolf mother again, squatted down and discussed with her: "Mother wolf, where did you get these wild ducks?" Can you help me catch more in the past two days? The more the merrier. ”
When Chu Xintian said these words to the wolf mother, it was lying comfortably on the ground, with its eyes closed, not looking up at Chu Xintian, but a whimper came out of its mouth.
Chu Xintian didn't know if the wolf mother had agreed to her request. COM
