Chapter 151 What's the Use of These?
After eating, the others looked around the new house for a while before leaving, and they were looking forward to living in the new house.
After sending everyone away, Shen Xiaoxiao and the others had time to rest.
"We'll heat up the remaining dishes and eat them later." Shen Xiaoxiao said lightly, looking a little tired, "I'll go heat them up, you take a rest, or take a shower." Xiao Yan quickly agreed, and the pain in his eyes was about to overflow.
"Well, fortunately it was only once, if it happened a few more times, I would be useless." Although there were people to help, she was in charge of the kitchen, and she did most of the cooking by herself, plus she had to entertain them, you can imagine how tired she was.
"I won't let you be so tired next time." Xiao Yan said softly. If he knew it would be so tiring, he would definitely not let others cook food. Although the taste was not as good as Xiaoxiao's, it was not bad.
"Okay, you go heat up the dishes first." Shen Xiaoxiao smiled and agreed, and believed what he said.
If someone had told her before that she would trust a person of the opposite sex unconditionally, she would have sneered and thought that the other person was just talking nonsense, but when it really came to that moment, she realized that love was actually like this.
Although it was not her wish to come to this era, fortunately, the people she met were very good.
After a rest, Shen Xiaoxiao took a good look at their new home. She would live here in the future and have her own place.
After the dishes were heated up, Xiao Yan came to her to eat, "Go to rest quickly after eating, and we'll talk about anything tomorrow."
"Okay."
After eating and washing, the two of them rested.
When lying on the bed, Shen Xiaoxiao felt real. She really settled down in this place and found her other half. If she really couldn't go back, it would be good.
Before, she told Ashu and the others about making a bed. They made the bed before joining the group, and also helped her add a lot of furniture, and cut bamboo to make bamboo chairs. It can be said that all the furniture in the house was made by Ashu himself.
Xiao Yan tossed and turned as if there were thorns under him.
Shen Xiaoxiao joked, "Why? Did you grow thorns on your back?"
Xiao Yan paused and turned to face her, "No, I'm not used to it." Although they slept on the ground before, they would spread a layer of skins. He would spread the animal skins he got from hunting on the ground, and before spreading the skins, he would spread a layer of soft grass or leaves underneath.
Now he was really not used to sleeping directly on the wooden board.
"This bed is too hard, and my waist hurts when I sleep on it." Xiao Yan whispered.
Shen Xiaoxiao didn't expect this to be the reason, but it was normal for him to not be used to it the first time he slept on it.
"Wait until you get used to it, and you won't want to sleep in the cave again when the time comes." He paused, "You are not used to it now because you have never been exposed to this before. It is normal to be uncomfortable with the sudden change."
"Otherwise, we should spread a layer of animal skin underneath." Shen Xiaoxiao suggested, even at this time, sleeping on animal skins was still a little hot.
Xiao Yan refused, he would get used to it in the future, and he also found that although it was uncomfortable at first, it seemed to be like that after a long time.
"Hurry up and go to sleep, I will get used to it in a few days."
"Okay, if you really can't get used to it, we can still put a layer of animal skin underneath."
Xiao Yan nodded, and the two fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next day, Xiao Yan woke up early, mainly because he couldn't get used to sleeping on the hard bed. He stared at the roof with his eyes wide open. It felt better to sleep in the house than in the cave. Except that the bed was harder, there was no problem with anything else.
But he thought he could get used to it.
"Why did you get up so early?" Shen Xiaoxiao asked sleepily, Xiao Yan hugged her in his arms, "It's okay, you go on sleeping."
"No more sleep." Shen Xiaoxiao yawned, this was the first time she slept so well since she came here.
After lying down for a while, the two got up. Xiao Yan cooked the food for the medicine. After eating the food, the two went out. They found that the place where the tribe built the house was very lively. Everyone was happy and looked forward to the completion of the new house because they knew that they would have a share after the new house was built.
Shen Xiaoxiao did not disturb them. She went around the field with Xiao Yan and was relieved when she found no problems.
Then she took the dried hemp home and started spinning hemp. The dried hemp had to be divided into silk, split at the head and tail, tightened in the forward and reverse directions, and connected. This was a boring thing that required great patience. Those who were impatient probably would not want to do it after rubbing it twice.
Shen Xiaoxiao slowly told Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan understood it as soon as he heard it. Soon he joined her in spinning hemp. The two talked and laughed while working, which was not boring.
Then find a wooden stick to roll the hemp rope onto the wooden stick. The balls of hemp rope were put on the basket. Xiao Yan looked curious and didn't understand what these things were used for. Although there were many balls, were they really useful?
But he also knew that Xiaoxiao would not make such a joke, so he patiently twisted the hemp into threads.
Then Shen Xiaoxiao took out the spinning machine that Ashu made, and twisted the balls of thread into hemp taro, which were used for weaving weft.
When they finished, it was already dark, and Shen Xiaoxiao twisted her neck and stopped.
"Xiaoxiao, what are these for?" Seeing Xiaoxiao was busy before, he did not disturb her. Now that he was free, he asked the doubts in his heart. Although he completed what Xiaoxiao said seriously, he was very puzzled in his heart and did not understand why he did that.
"Didn't I say we should make clothes? This is the step of making clothes. We twist the hemp into thread, and then weave the cloth. We should be able to weave the cloth tomorrow." They brought back a lot of hemp. If they want to rush to work tonight, they should be able to weave the hemp, but she doesn't want to be so tired.
Now they don't have to worry about food, so they won't rush to work at night like before.
"When the cloth is made, it can be made into the clothes I wore before. Of course, my clothes are different from this fabric. If you want to make the fabric of my clothes, you have to use cotton to make thread, but that's too luxurious. Now we have to use cotton to make thick quilts and thick clothes. As for cotton cloth, we can weave cotton cloth when we have enough cotton."
Xiao Yan still didn't know much, but he also knew that Xiao Xiao would not talk nonsense. Since she said she could make clothes, he believed her.
"After we have cloth, we don't have to wear animal skins. We can use these animal skins to make other things, and we can also use them to keep warm in winter." Shen Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
"Well, if we can really make clothes out of these useless things, then the people in the tribe will be able to wear warm clothes in the future." Xiao Yan couldn't help but say, with a look of longing in his eyes.
Shen Xiaoxiao didn't break his fantasy. After all, linen doesn't keep out the cold. But even though it can't be done now, thick clothes can only be made with cloth, right?
Now they have planted cotton. When the seeds mature and are harvested, they can plant more cotton next year.
Besides, she studied this in college, and she didn't believe that she couldn't make them all warm.
