Xu Yue instructed her brother to cut down a smaller tree directly, and let her brother with great strength carry it back to the pond, and she and her sister followed behind.

The three brothers and sisters came down from the hillside, and the huge canopy of the trees stretched out among the mountains and forests, and the movement was very loud, startling countless birds.

Xu Yue reminded her brother to pay attention to the road under his feet, and looked at the surrounding bushes to see if he could find any more taro.

However, yesterday it had been swept by the villagers of Dawang Village, and the taro did not see it, but saw a lot of soil pits and scattered leaves left after excavation.

In fact, the stem of taro is also edible, but the taste is a bit anti-human, and if there are no cooking conditions, Xu Yue does not recommend eating it.

In addition, there are mountains full of prey now, so there is no need to worry about food for the time being, and the taro stalks are not easy to preserve, so I didn't mention it.

The three brothers and sisters carried the tree back to the pond, attracting the attention of Tong and others.

The eldest lady of the Wang family held her thin brother and stood not far away, watching the three brothers and sisters with wide eyes and curiosity cleaning up the tree, peeling out the bark, and opening her mouth slightly, as if she didn't expect the bark to be peeled off like this.

Xu Yue tore the peeled bark into small strips, and then took a handful and handed it to Xu Da, who was making straw sandals.

"Daddy, let's see if you can use this."

The best material for making straw sandals is rice stalks, which are woven into shoes after being rolled into strings, which are the shoes most commonly worn by the people.

Didn't see Uncle Liu Huang selling straw sandals before?

That's because straw sandals are just needed by ordinary people, plus the durability of straw sandals is not high, the replacement frequency is high, and the repurchase rate is also high.

However, most of the farmers in Changyi also make straw shoes, and Xu Yue doesn't know if the business of selling straw shoes can be done here.

However, if you learn the craft first, if you are prepared, it may also be a way to make a fortune.

Xu Dazheng had a headache with the fragile and fragile grass stems, and when he saw the thin strips of bark sent by Xu Yue, he pulled it with his hands, and after feeling its strong toughness and durability, he was inspired, and threw away those grass stems that were not good to look at or use, and rushed to weave them.

The three brothers and sisters of Xu Yue glanced at each other and acted in tacit understanding.

Xu Dalang peeled the tree, Xu Erniang tore the bark, and Xu Yue braided the bark into a string and handed it to Xu Da.

Half an hour later, a sandal sandal with a foot-clipping similar to a flip-flop appeared in Xu Da's hand.

With the appearance of shoes, two more straw ropes are added, and through the reserved hole, it becomes a pair of shoes that can be tied to the feet without falling.

However, at first glance, the seam of the shoe is a bit large, and a slightly sharper stone can penetrate it.

But the four of them were still very excited.

Xu Da put it on and walked a few steps, and his brows raised, but he could still feel a dull pain when he accidentally stepped on the stone.

Xu Erniang proposed: "Do you want to make the soles of the shoes into a double layer and add a layer of grass mats?" ”

"Anyway, it's easier to make than to weave straw, and if it's not strong, you can make two more pairs and wear it."

When Xu Da heard this, he was blessed to his heart, took off his new shoes, and immersed himself in studying again.

A large piece of bark was stripped off by Xu Dalang and piled up on the grass to form a small hill.

Xu Yue was afraid that it would not be enough, so she left her sister and cheap father, who were very interested in straw sandals, and led her brother to cut down a tree.

But this time, there are two more followers behind the brother and sister.

It is the eldest mother of the Wang family, and Wang Dahai's nine-year-old son Wang Youliang, who has no mother.

The two little radish heads didn't look as strong as Xu Yue, but one of them had a heavy firewood knife in his hand.

The forging level of Daqing Kingdom is low, and there are many impurities contained in the ironware, which are far heavier than the ironware of later generations.

Anyway, Xu Yue couldn't wave the firewood knife with it, so she couldn't help but glance at the two of them.

The eldest lady of the Wang family is young, and it seems a little difficult to carry a firewood knife. Wang Youliang is older and looks quite relaxed.

Moreover, the two of them were barefoot, and Xu Yue didn't know how they moved like they were walking on the ground in the rocky mountain forest.

When the two of them saw her looking over, they cowered nervously, afraid that she would drive them away.

Fortunately, she just glanced at it, then withdrew her gaze, and the two of them followed behind her, watching her cut down the tree, and followed to find one.

The trunk was too big to cut, and the two of them couldn't resist it after cutting it, so they got the branches down, dragged them in a big hug, and took them to the pond.

Tong glanced at her daughter in surprise, and the eldest lady of the Wang family pointed to Xu Da, who was weaving bark shoes not far away, and then pointed to her severely worn feet, and said in a childish voice:

"A-Niang makes shoes, and it doesn't hurt to wear new shoes."

After that, he added expectantly: "The eldest mother also wears shoes, and the younger brother also wears them." ”

Tong's eyes flashed with shock, her daughter didn't like to play with her peers since she was born, she didn't like to talk, and she always liked to stare at a certain place in a daze.

The neighbor said that the child may have a little brain problem, although she didn't want to think so as a mother, but when she looked at her daughter who was stunned from time to time, she couldn't help but wonder if she really had a problem

As for the word smart, Tong never thought that it would belong to his daughter.

But now, looking at the daughter who brought back the branch to make shoes, and was the first daughter to lead herself to find taro, Tong can be sure that there is no problem with her eldest mother's brain!

Not only is it fine, but it's also smart!

Tong touched his daughter's little head happily and nodded heavily, "Okay, make shoes for my aunt and younger brother." ”

"But Daddy doesn't know how to do it, wait for Daddy to come back, let Daddy do it for you, okay?"

"Uh-huh!" The eldest lady of the Wang family smiled contentedly, turned her head and ran to the side of Xu Yue's house, watched their movements, silently wrote down the order of making shoes, and waited for Daddy to come back and make shoes for herself.

Wang Youliang was not so patient, Daddy went hunting and was not there, he pondered it himself, and made a mess of the bark.

Xu Yue secretly watched Coke and enjoyed this rare moment of tranquility.

At noon, before Wang and the others came back, Xu Da, who was rumbling in his belly, left a separate copy for Wang, and led the children to have lunch first.

I ate stewed rabbits, stewed two.

This is tasteless, although she is full, Xu Erniang still wants to eat taro.

Thinking that the taro was enough and cheap, but the father didn't make it for himself, the father and daughter, who had studied straw shoes with Harmony before, turned over the friendship boat.

Xu Daxin said that it would be good to have food, you are still picky!

But he still endured his temper and explained: "The taro is durable, and it should be kept as a reserve, these wild things are not tolerant, and they will be wasted if they are not eaten in a hurry." ”

Justified and well-founded, Xu Erniang had no choice but to pick up the rabbit leg she had received and gnaw viciously, muttering while gnawing: "Damn God......"

Xu Yue silently handed the rabbit meat that she couldn't eat to Xu Dalang, then turned her back, took out the taro left in the morning, chewed it slowly, and tasted it slowly.

Xu Erniang: The dog is still your dog!
