Chapter 0542: Bodhi Grass
Trini and Uncle Trini must have also been to the vegetable garden, but you have nothing to do, and Uncle Spinning and Weaving has not been in contact, what about Trini? Zhao Jia asked.
ββ"A-Niang hasn't let me start spinning and weaving yet!" Trini shook her head.
ββ"Very well, then take me to see the thread and the cloth that this aunt has woven." Zhao Jia said.
ββLi Zheng actually didn't have much hope in his heart that the Zhaojia clan could see this strange thing in their village. But because of the relationship between the Thirteenth Master, of course he wouldn't mind letting Zhao Jia's go and have a look.
ββSo, Trini took Zhao Jiashi and the dog baby to see her aunt's usual spinning house.
ββThe only thing that is not lacking in the countryside is housing, but building a few more rooms is far less tense than the housing in the city. Lizheng's family is one of the most "wealthy" families in the village.
ββZhao Jiashi saw a spinning wheel that was often used by women. There are still a lot of threads wrapped around it, and there is still cloth underneath that has not yet been woven.
ββ"Your aunt can't see it anymore, why are you still weaving?" Zhao Jia asked in surprise.
ββ"Although A-Niang's eyes are not good, she is too familiar with her spinning wheel, and she can spin and weave cloth with her eyes closed." Trini said.
ββZhao Jia walked to the front of the spinning wheel and reached out to touch the spinning thread on the spinning wheel.
ββ"It's not a thread out of cotton, is it?" Zhao Jiashi asked. She knew that folk spinning threads were generally made of cotton and then used to weave cloth.
ββ"Well, it's not cotton. The cotton in our village is not enough to hand in every year, and where can we spin our own thread. Fortunately, we have a plant that grows here, and it can also twist threads, and the cloth woven is very thick. So all the people in our village use this to spin thread. Trini said, and pulled the clothes on her body to show Zhao Jia's family.
ββZhao Jiashi looked at her clothes, which were indeed different from vinegar cotton clothes.
ββ"What's that plant of yours, and is there anything else? Show me? Zhao Jia said.
ββTrini nodded, walked over to the spinning wheel, took something like white cotton wool from a fence, and held it up to Zhao Jia.
ββ"No, this is it." Trini held it up to Zhao Jia's family.
ββZhao Jiashi picked up something like cotton in her hand, but it was not cotton.
ββ"Sister, my grandfather is called Bodhi grass. Its wadding can weave cloth, and it is this linden grass that keeps our river village from freezing. Trini laughed.
ββHer simple face was full of gratitude for this plant.
ββ"Can I take some of this?" Zhao Jiashi looked at it, but she couldn't see anything, but she had a gut feeling that it was related to this strange plant in front of her, otherwise why did the women in the river village have this kind of eye disease, but the man and the old man and child were fine.
ββ"Sister wants to take this weaving cloth too?" Trini was puzzled.
ββ"Of course not. Your Auntie's eye disease may be related to this kind of thing, but I can't see anything right now, and I want to take it back to study it. Zhao Jia said.
ββTrini obviously didn't understand what Zhao Jia said, but she didn't refuse, because this kind of thing was not precious to them.
ββZhao Jia brought a little Bodhi grass out, and the Thirteenth Master and Li Zheng were standing in the courtyard talking. Li Zhengzheng and the Thirteenth Master are on their land issue here.
ββThe Thirteenth Master saw that Zhao Jia's came out and found that she was holding something in her hand, so he said, "What, what did you find?" β
ββ"I suspect it has something to do with this grass. You'll have to take a closer look when you go back. Zhao Jia said.
ββRizheng seemed to have expected this outcome for a long time, so he wasn't too disappointed. The Thirteenth Master was a little disappointed, he wanted to leave tomorrow, but he was afraid that the strange disease in this river village would not be cured.
