Straw sandals have a long and long history in China, and they are not only a symbol of hardship, but also a true portrayal of the struggle of hundreds of people in this ancient country with a history of more than 5,000 years of civilization.

In the Han Dynasty, it was also called "not borrowed", because it "grass shoes, said to be used, everyone has it, not to be borrowed, so the name is not borrowed." ”

But straw shoes were first spread to the people in the mountains, because the people in the plains can sometimes walk barefoot, but not in the mountains, so the straw shoes were first invented from the mountains, and then it has been circulated for thousands of years.

"Bamboo canes and shoes are lighter than horses, and a storm is lifeless." Among the lyrics made by Li Ke is straw sandals.

Even the sandals of later generations were borrowed from straw sandals, but this thing was really not available in Silla.

In other words, although the people here yearn for the Tang Dynasty, not everything has been borrowed.

At least the current Silla people will not be able to do this straw sandals, and in history, Silla was probably in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and there were frequent exchanges with the Tang Dynasty, and the trade and other aspects of the two sides were constantly exchanged, so that more culture could be passed on.

Needless to say, all the disadvantages of straw sandals can be masked by one advantage, that is, it can be woven from wild grasses, wheat straw, etc., which can be found everywhere, does not require money, and is relatively strong, and can be more warm in cold seasons such as winter.

In addition, whether it is rain or snow, anti-skid and other functions are also very good for the people.

For example, in Silla, many shoes are made of animal skins, linen, and some tree bark, and there are the most widespread clogs. Hides and clogs were the winter boots of most Silla people.

As for animal skins, they may seem noble in later generations, but in fact, in this era they are far easier to obtain than cloth, after all, hares, squirrels, beasts, etc. in the wild have skins, and even sometimes vole skins can be used when needed.

But animal skins are not available every day, although clogs can be made at any time, but clogs are clumsy many times, and the matching leather is not so easy to find, and straw sandals are different, its universality is too strong, and the warmth is also very good if the preparation is good.

These soldiers of the Tang Dynasty told them about the advantages of straw sandals, and at the same time told them how to weave straw sandals, in fact, this is not difficult, as long as people who are not too stupid can learn it quickly.

As for getting better and tighter, it would be nice to weave more, anyway, they are sitting now with a lot of wheat straw, and these things are the most indispensable things.

And straw sandals can also be put directly on the outside of their worn shoes, and they can be replaced at any time if they are rotten.

But even so, these soldiers of the Tang Dynasty still spent a morning teaching everyone how to weave straw sandals, and many of them had already put them on their feet.

Because almost most of the people here have tattered shoes, straw sandals can hold their shoes in place, and it is indeed easier for them to protect their feet when they work.

Everyone learned to weave straw shoes in one morning, and when it was time to eat at noon, to everyone's surprise, what they ate at noon was actually dry goods, steamed buns! Although it is not the white flour steamed bun eaten by the Tang soldiers, how long have they not eaten this kind of black steamed bun? !

Except for the steamed buns, the pickles are still pickled cabbage, but with salt! It's also delicious to them like never before!

It's just that all the people are a little embarrassed, they haven't done this work, and they eat so much? This steamed bun is a big steamed bun, some big-bellied men dare not say that one can be full, but some old people, women, or some children and the like are definitely enough, and they can't even eat it all.

Because they didn't work much in the morning, many people didn't digest the porridge they ate in the morning, but they actually digested it, but they felt that they were not too hungry, and many people only ate a small half, or even didn't eat a bite, and stuffed the steamed buns into their arms.

At first, some people didn't dare to do this, but a few people stuffed these steamed buns into their arms in front of the Tang soldiers, and they didn't say anything, anyway, everyone gave out a big steamed bun, as well as some pickles.

As for whether they eat these things or not, Datang obviously doesn't care.

Many people even brought back the pickles that were given to them, broke the steamed buns, put the pickles inside, and then tied them with wheat straw and stuffed them into their arms.

Anyway, the Tang soldiers didn't care about them, they wanted to bring these things back even more, because for them, three meals a day seemed a bit of a luxury, although it was not much.

Pu Er also kept half a steamed bun, their family has not eaten dry goods for a long time, this steamed bun may be able to save lives if it is kept back, and it can even save a lot of food, and the food will not spoil as long as it is placed.

This winter is still very long, and no one knows how long Datang can use people.

After lunch, in the afternoon, all of them were gathered again, and then they were to be given clothes for work.

When everyone was lined up in a neat line, a total of several lines, the barracks in front of them finally opened.

Inside are neatly arranged, piles of linen clothes.

Park Er, who was queuing up, quickly heard the noise coming from the front, and Park Er didn't know what was happening, but soon he saw the person who had already received his clothes in the front of the queue walking back, and Park Er's eyes were straight.

This...... This...... Is this true?

Park Er thought he was wrong, and soon when the second person walked back, Park Er knew that he was not wrong, this was actually true!

Because Datang doesn't seem to have sent clothes, but directly sent cloth? Oh no, the clothes are also haired, but there are also cloths!

Soon the line in front of it was lined up with Park Er.

"At present, Datang needs you to work for four months, one set of clothes a month, but Datang does not have enough manpower to sew clothes for you, so everyone only gets one set of clothes, and the rest is cloth, go home and let your wife or family help you do it, if no one will, ask a neighbor to help." The Tang soldier in front of Pu Er glanced at him, and then took the trouble to repeat his previous words.

"Yes, I know, I'm fine." In fact, when Pu Er was in line with three or four before, he heard the other party's words clearly, but the other party had to repeat it every few people.

"No problem." After confirming that Pu Er was fine, the soldiers quickly brought him a set of clothes, a burlap and a very fine roll of twine, which should have been for them to sew their own clothes, but there were no needles, and they needed to borrow the needles themselves, but Pu Er had one at home, and his wife had been a baby for a long time.
