Thinking of the spool that needed to be wound for spinning, Yao Xiaoqing came out of the canteen, went straight to the firewood house at the foot of the mountain, found a bundle of thin bamboo poles, and carried it home.

Carrying a sapper shovel, sawed off the bamboo part of the thin bamboo pole, and sawed the bamboo pipe into a four or five inch long piece, which was used to make a spool for winding.

After sawing two bamboo poles, she suddenly remembered that when she and a few teammates participated in outdoor activities, they used bamboo pipes, toilet paper, cotton, reeds, cherry blossoms and rosin to make fire folds, which were much more convenient to use than drilling wood to make fire.

At that time, she also searched on the Internet, and the Internet said that the fire folds used by the rich and noble in ancient times were soaked in white (red) potato vines soaked in water, taken out and beaten flat, and then soaked and added cotton, reeds, tassels, and then hammered, dried, and made of flammable materials such as nitrate, sulfur, rosin, camphor, etc., which was time-consuming and laborious. The straw paper velvet used by ordinary people is tightly rolled and stuffed into a bamboo tube.

Yao Xiaoqing touched his chin and thought: Complex materials are not enough, simple materials are ready-made, why not try to make a fire fold.

She picked a long piece of bamboo and sawed it in two. Then use the dagger to make small holes at each end, the long one is thin, and the short one is widened to make a lid.

I went to the warehouse and got a piece of pine resin and a stack of paper. The dry pine resin is a slightly transparent golden yellow color with a faint smell of pine resin. People who can't get used to the smell of it feel a little upset.

Yao Xiaoqing put the pine resin into the mortar, mashed it finely, and then ground it into powder with a wooden stick.

Rub the paper, cut it into a bamboo tube, spread it out on the table, sprinkle a little pine resin on it, think about it, grab a little golden retriever dog spine hair and pine resin powder mixed together, roll it into a tight paper roll, and stuff it into the long bamboo tube.

Take out a lighter, light the roll of paper, and blow it out. Although there is no flame in the blown paper roll, you can see the red bright spots of the fire faintly burning, like embers in the ashes.

Yao Xiaoqing picked up the lid and closed it, and after two minutes, he opened the lid and saw the rolling paper in the bamboo tube, and the fiery red highlights were still there. She puffed up her cheeks and blew the roll, which burned again.

"Haha! It's done. She looked at the fire fold in her hand beautifully, and when they went out in the future, they didn't have to bother drilling wood to make fire.

"You kid, what are you laughing at here?" Yaohu walked in with a smile.

Yao Xiaoqing proudly raised the fire, "Father, look at it, what is in my hand?" ”

Yaohu smiled: "Isn't it just a bamboo pipe?" Look at the way you look proud. ”

"You're waiting!"

Yao Xiaoqing lifted the cap, puffed up his cheeks again, blew it, and the roll paper in the bamboo tube ignited.

Yao Hu's eyes widened and he looked at the bamboo pipe in Yao Xiaoqing's hand, "What's going on? Why did it ignite? ”

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Father, let me tell you ......"

After Yao Hu tried it, his face was full of wrinkles with a smile, and he gave Yao Xiaoqing a thumbs up, "Hehe! My daughter is just amazing! You teach Father to make a try. ”

"Okay!" Yao Xiaoqing instructed Yao Hu to make a fire fold.

The father and daughter made more than a dozen fire folds in succession before they stopped.

Yaohu took a few fire folds and said with a smile: "Xiaoqing, Father went to your Uncle Dashi's trip." He couldn't wait to share it with Oishi and let them know how powerful their future leader was and how good his brains were.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at him like a child, eager to go out to show off his new toys, and nodded with a smile, "You come back early, I boiled hot water in the jar, and you scald your feet before you sleep." ”

Yaohu was happy in his heart, and nodded again and again, "Got it, you go to sleep." ”

"I'll go when I'm done."

Yao Xiaoqing sawed the remaining bamboo poles, cleaned them up, and threw the garbage into the stove.

With the fire fold, there is no need to leave the fire, Yao Xiaoqing poured hot water, and added some water to the jar to heat it. After taking the basin to the bath room to wash, I went back to the room and slept under the covers.

Yaohu took the fire fold and showed off it next to each other, and each person shared one, and then went home happily.

Early the next morning, Yao Xiaoqing came back from practice and walked into the cafeteria, Yun Amle grabbed her, "Xiaoqing, the fire fold you made is really useful, you don't have to get up in the middle of the night to watch the fire in the future." ”

Yao Xiaoqing said with a smile: "You can use it with confidence, and I'll teach you to make more and use it slowly later." ”

Yun Amu nodded repeatedly, "Okay, you'll teach us later." ”

"Xiaoqing, the bast of the tree that I collected is about to run out, I remember that there are also on the way to Shenmu Mountain, and I want to take Uncle Worm and them to cut some tomorrow." Taro came in from outside and said.

Yao Xiaoqing nodded and said, "I'll go with you tomorrow." She remembered that there was a large pine forest over there, and wanted to go find some Poria cocos and come back.

After eating the food, Yao Xiaoqing taught Yun Emu a few fire folds and then returned to the courtyard.

Leopard Eminem led people to carry all the ramie to the yard, fetched a few basins of water and put them aside. The men opened the bundles of ramie, put them on their legs, and tore them into thin threads.

The torn twine was as short as one meter long and as long as two meters long. Leopard Eminem dipped some water in the basin, twisted the two hemp threads a few times to form a long twine, and then wrapped it around the bamboo pipe.

Yao Xiaoqing rubbed the twine all morning, and felt that tearing hemp and making hemp was a rather boring thing, and she would rather dig the ground and chop wood than do this kind of meticulous work.

After lunch, Shan Emu said with a smile: "Xiaoqing, the kudzu has been peeled, you go to play in the afternoon, and we will go over to help rub the twine together." ”

"Okay!" Yao Xiaoqing smiled and nodded, "You are still doing this kind of meticulous work, I still go up the mountain to collect medicine and find food." ”

Mountain Eminem looked at her and smiled lovingly, "I know you don't like it, you take Asen up the mountain to find food." ”

"Got it, I'm calling Asen." Yao Xiaoqing hugged Shan Eminem and went to the cattle pen.

"Uncle Chun, where are Ah Sen and Yaya?"

Ah Chunbo pointed to the river, "They went to the river to graze cattle." ”

Yao Xiaoqing waved at Ah Chun, "Oh! Then I'm gone. ”

"Xiaoqing, I have something to tell you." Ah Chun stopped her.

Yao Xiaoqing looked back at him, "You say." ”

Ah Chun said: "In the morning, I was grazing cattle at the foot of the mountain, and I saw plum blossoms quietly going up the mountain, but I followed the mountain and found no one. ”

"Plum blossoms?" Yao Xiaoqing couldn't remember who it was, "She secretly went up the mountain, did she have anything in her hand?" Did she come back at lunchtime? ”

Ah Chun thought for a moment, "She went empty-handed, and when she was eating lunch, she was in the cafeteria, and I saw that something was wrong with her." I wanted to sneak a look at it for two days, but I was afraid that she would steal the tribe's things. ”

Yao Xiaoqing thought of the iron tools in the tribe, frowned, and said, "Do you know where she got it back?" ”

Ah Chun thought for a moment, "She came back from the Niu tribe, and she usually works very neatly." ”
