Chapter 40: Success
"It's okay to survive, it's not that hard. We have plenty of supplies there, and we don't have any wild beasts. "Zhong Xuyao
"Even so......," Bernie couldn't understand. In her eyes, living alone is something that only orcs can do.
"Let's talk about shoes." Zhong Xuyao said with a smile.
For her, no matter how hospitable the people here are, they can't compare to her original world. Here, there is no electricity, no cell phone, and that alone is enough to make her retreat, and if it weren't for the computer on the farm giving her a little comfort, she really doesn't know how she is going to survive. Now, she can only continue to do things to alleviate this sense of loss.
Bernie also knew that Zhong Xuyao was in a bad mood when he left home, so he quickly stopped the topic and began to discuss the shoes he made.
On the other hand, Wu Lao was also full of interest and joined the team of learning.
After the meal, Bernie hugged his stomach and hummed. Even if it was the second time she ate it, the taste of dried bamboo shoots and roasted pork and egg drop soup still made her eat it.
It wasn't just her who had this situation, but several other younger women were also holding their stomachs. There was still a look of discomfort on his face.
Zhong Xuyao shook his head helplessly, "Bout, do you have hawthorn?" ”
"Hmm!" Bout hurriedly took out two hawthorn berries from a bamboo tube.
The dried hawthorn is not stored for a long time, so not all the hawthorns that were used to make dried hawthorn in the first place. A small portion was also left for snacking.
Slice the hawthorn given by Bute, and put it in a stone pot that has been washed. Pour in the water and start boiling the hawthorn water.
By the time they had finished drinking the hawthorn water and rested, it was already an hour later.
Wu Lao did not leave, but followed everyone to make shoes.
With the practice in the morning, by the afternoon, everyone was ready to make. In less than an hour, someone made a piece of sole.
Under Zhong Xuyao's guidance, her partner used the hooked sole as a prototype and cut out ten pieces of animal skin with her claws.
The hides are sewn together with the hooked soles with bone needles. Then teach her how to hook the upper.
"Ellen, there are two kinds of this upper, one is all-inclusive." Zhong Xuyao pointed to the sneakers he put aside: "The all-inclusive type is like this, wrapping the feet." This kind of warmth is better. However, when it's hot, it's not easy to wear. The other is sandals, which are connected with a wide band, which has the advantage of being cool. It's also quick to make. Which one do you want to learn first? ”
The main reason why she asked this was because of the weather. It's spring, but it doesn't seem cold to the people here. But for Zhong Xuyao, it is still a little cold, and it is not the weather that can run barefoot.
Ellen thought for a while, then said, "Can you teach me both?" ”
"Absolutely. Now the question is only which one you want to learn first. Zhong Xuyao smiled.
"Then I'll learn sandals first." Ellen said carefully.
According to Zhong Xuyao's meaning, sandals are made quickly. Then, she can make a pair of sandals first, and then she can put them on first. She really didn't want to walk in animal skins at all now.
"Okay." Zhong Xuyao began to instruct her to learn how to hook the upper of the shoe.
The others also put down the work in their hands and watched what Zhong Xuyao did.
In the process of making shoes, everyone is very serious. Even Bernie was very attentive to hooking shoes.
Zhong Xuyao also started making his own shoes. It's just that her method is different from theirs.
Others are trying to catch up, so they use a layer of animal skin, a layer of hooked soles, so that the speed is fast. Shoes can be made as quickly as possible. The downside is that the soles are still a little thin, but for them, it's nothing. At the very least, it's much better than wrapping it in animal skins.
And Zhong Xuyao is not used to wearing soft shoes and wearing too thin soles at all. Therefore, the setting of double hooked soles and double animal skins is adopted. In this way, the softness and thickness of the shoes can be guaranteed.
Zhong Xuyao also told them about this method. It's a pity that none of them made it up like this, and Zhong Xuyao can only follow them. Anyway, the materials brought back this time are enough, and you can hook a new pair out.
Zhong Xuyao taught them a very simple way of sandals, just simple one-button sandals.
In less than an hour, Ellen had already hooked up her shoes.
Under Bernie's envious gaze, Ellen put on her sandals and made the final adjustments.
Finally, when Ellen puts a sandal on her foot, everyone else's eyes are straight. Including orcs on one side.
Such shoes, they are all seen for the first time, although the style is simple, because the first time to make it, some places are not perfect, but they have a unique flavor.
Bernie's eyes straightened, "It's so pretty, I'm going to do it." Xiaoxiao, how can this be done faster? ”
"You'll get acquainted with it soon." Zhong Xuyao
Bernie hurriedly lowered his head and continued, her shoes were now ready, and she would be done in no time with a little faster.
The others also sped up their movements. Ellen's success has also given them confidence.
When they made their shoes, the orcs were not slow. With a chicken farm as a prototype, they quickly mimicked the chicken farm, using bamboo chips in another location close to the water, to build a new field.
Ishu led a team of 100 people to the forest to capture these beasts. In fact, what Zhong Xuyao didn't know was that winter was also a nightmare for orcs. If they don't have enough food in the fall, they won't be able to survive the snow melt with their appetite. In the past, when spring was approaching, many orcs could only survive in animal skins.
But with the energy of animal skins, at most they can only maintain a minimum consumption. In such a situation, if the time of peace is fine, but if it is attacked by a herd, it will be fatal.
Although they orcs are like hanging on to them, there are things that can threaten them, not nothing.
If things are really as Zhong Xuyao said, these chickens, ducks, and geese will lay an egg in a day or two, then the little orcs and females will not have much problem in terms of eating.
As long as a few hundred are raised, not to mention them, even the orcs can get some food. Combined with animal skins, there will be absolutely no problem.
Every time I think of this, these orcs only feel full of power.
Time, in the blink of an eye, it was evening, and at this time, everyone in the sewing team had a smile on their faces.
After a day of hard work, everyone more or less made a shoe out. What made Zhong Xuyao a little helpless was that there was only one, but these people all put their shoes on their feet, and they were reluctant to take them off one by one. In this regard, Zhong Xuyao can only rely on them.
