Chapter 196 Making a Stone Hoe (1)

Xia Tian was eating lunch seriously and didn't notice the strange behavior of Si Ye mentioned in the barrage.

In fact, even if she noticed, she would pretend not to see it.

Si Ye is not from here. He himself said that he has a complicated life experience, otherwise he would not have ended up in a foreign land. These are indisputable facts.

As for what that life experience was and what had happened in his past, Xia Tian didn't care, didn't want to care, and didn't want to dig into the matter and get to the bottom of it.

Who doesn’t have a past?

If we were to strictly talk about her "origin" from Earth, it would probably take a long time, but this was obviously not the occasion to share her thoughts and experiences about her origins.

After lunch and a short nap, this little episode was forgotten, and the two men quickly got back to tanning leather and making stone hoes.

"Let me handle the leather this time. I've already made the stone you want to grind it, go and have a look." Si Ye Shifen naturally took over the half-finished leather from the girl's hand, and imitated what she had done just now, applying animal fat on that side of the leather, and then beating and kneading it with the stone. His movements gradually became smoother, and soon he was doing it well.

In order to test the task evaluation system of the live broadcast system, and of course to be able to take a break from this repetitive work, Xia Tian turned to deal with the stone hoe that the man had sharpened.

There were three different types of stones in total. Because she was not sure about the different properties of different stones, she brought back each one in order to find the most suitable one.

I originally planned to roughly polish it to test the feel, but I didn't expect Si Ye to be so efficient. He directly made the three kinds of stone into the shape of an ideal hoe.

So what needs to be done next is very simple. One is to fine-tune the stone and sharpen the hoe. The other is to find a hard wooden stick to install it. In this way, the stone hoe is basically completed.

After figuring out what to do next, Xia Tian started working without saying a word.

I just put down the tanning of leather and now I start sharpening the stone hoe. I am busy but fulfilled.

[It's easier said than done. In fact, the steps are very simple. You can learn from them.]

[But it’s actually really tiring to do. It’s been almost ten hours and I’m still not done.]

[After all, it is not mass-produced by factory machines, so it will definitely take more time, but I think the quality is definitely very good]

[I made them all by hand, but I don’t know if I’ll sell them.]

For two whole days, Xia Tian and Si Ye were processing furs and making stone hoes.

The tanned leather needs to be dried and smoked. This waiting process also requires additional treatment, otherwise it will easily deform and needs to be fully stretched to prevent shrinkage and hardening to the greatest extent.

This operation is also very simple. You just need to tie each corner of the fur with a rope and stretch it on the wooden frame.

The stone hoe has also been fitted with a hard wooden stick of suitable length and can now be put into use directly.

"The fur needs to be aired for a while to soften. These purple potatoes have already sprouted. We need to hurry and till the soil. We'll be able to start planting soon... Here, our task today is to till the soil."

There were three stone hoes in total. Xia Tian took one of them and handed it to Si Ye. The other one was not used for the time being. Now she wanted to try out the actual use effect of this stone hoe.
