But Jiang Xue soon realized that the current weather was not suitable for planting saplings, so she did not dare to take the saplings out of the package. Even the vegetable seeds were basically past the planting season, so they could only be temporarily stored in the package.
Jiang Xue felt depressed when she thought about this.
If the system had rewarded me with these things two months earlier, I might be eating watermelon and cucumber now.
Since these things cannot be grown, let’s make other things first.
What Jiang Xue had been thinking about all the time was taking the "wheelbarrow" out of the package.
She originally thought that the tribe would be shrouded in a layer of sadness for a while, after all, something happened that no one wanted to see. However, what Jiang Xue did not expect was that they did not care about such things at all. The next day they started their respective work chatting and laughing.
Seeing that they were fine, Jiang Xue felt relieved.
In her opinion, this kind of thing is a great shame and humiliation, but who can blame the person involved for not caring?
Then she also threw herself into the intense production.
Asongbo found her with bamboo strips in hand. "Xue Wu, I woke up this morning and discovered something. The bamboo mats we weave are too sharp and can easily cut our skin. Do you have a better solution?"
The men in the tribe are not afraid of cold or heat. Since the first bamboo mat was put into use, some of them began to sleep on it with their bare chests.
When they wake up the next day, they often see shocking red marks on their arms and backs.
Jiang Xue herself actually suffered from the pain of her skin being cut by the bamboo mat, but this problem had not been solved before. Now that the tribe has started to smelt iron, there must be a way to solve it.
She flipped through several books in her hands, but didn't find the answer she was looking for. She touched the sharp edge of the bamboo strips and said, "It's probably because the edge is too sharp. It might be better if the edge could be polished before weaving."
Asongbo said, "But how do we polish this?"
How to polish?
If it were iron tools, of course a whetstone could be used, but if these bamboo pieces also used a whetstone, then they wouldn't have to make anything else.
Therefore, using a whetstone to sharpen bamboo strips is out of the question.
Jiang Xue thought for a moment and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. So, you go and do your thing first. I'll tell you when I find a solution."
Asongbo didn't get the solution he wanted, so he sighed and shook his head and left.
Soon, Uncle Zhong from the carpentry team came to her and said, "Xue Wu, we have put the wood together into a circle as you asked, but what can we use to fix it in place?"
Jiang Xue frowned. She really knew nothing about carpentry!
I came up with the idea of making a bucket because I wanted to use a "feces bucket" to transport the dirt in the septic tank of the toilet.
But no one had ever seen a bucket before, so they had no choice but to burn several wide-mouthed ceramic jars about half a meter high to use as buckets, and then weave a hollow basket with rattan to transport it. Although it was a bit small, it was at least usable.
But it is obvious that using a clay pot as a dung bucket is too extravagant, and if you don't pay attention and hit a stone, the bucket will be scrapped on the spot.
It takes much longer to make a large pottery pot than a bowl, and it takes longer to dry. The tribe currently has no better technology to prevent it from cracking when fired. Moreover, the pottery pot itself is a bit heavy, and once the things are poured into it, it becomes even heavier.
Finally, Jiang Xue asked the carpenters in the group to first make a few wooden boards of the same length and size, and then put them together to form a circle.
After all, with the carpentry tools, these wooden boards were easily made, and the bottom of the barrel was also quickly made. However, in order to fix the wooden boards to the bottom, they had to be put together to form a circle, and this was where the problem arose.
Both sides of the board are straight, so no matter how hard you try, you can only put the small boards together to form a large board.
Finally, it was Jiang Xue who solved the problem - she plane both sides of the wooden board into an oblique shape. Jiang Xue had no idea how big the oblique shape should be, so she had to try it piece by piece. After three whole days, she finally put the wooden boards together into a circle.
The circle was put together, but new problems arose.
Since she had no white glue or wire, she wrapped it with hemp rope. But as soon as she connected the bottom and filled the bucket with water and lifted it, the bucket fell apart.
The bottom is the bottom, the board is the board, and the hemp rope is the hemp rope. They are completely unusable. What's worse is that the bottom can't bear the weight at all...
Jiang Xue was overwhelmed.
If this problem is not solved, many things will not be done in the future.
As for Asongbo’s question, let’s put it aside for now.
Jiang Xue frowned and hesitated for a while before taking out the bamboo bed and placing it on the open space.
Seeing the bamboo bed that suddenly appeared, everyone was immediately dazzled. They gathered around the bed and asked Jiang Xue what it was used for.
Jiang Xue didn't say anything, but just asked everyone to disperse and invited the carpenters to come and study it first.
The carpenters in the group looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out what was going on. Jiang Xue sighed, knowing that there were too few objects and no better reference, so she threw out the loom and wheelbarrow in front of everyone.
"I've never made a wooden barrel, but I think these two things should give you some inspiration. You should figure it out on your own."
This is the only solution.
If the problem of the wooden barrel is not solved one day, the sewage in the septic tank will overflow after a while.
And the crops in the fields are also waiting for fertilizer.
Looking at the skinny crops, Jiang Xue still couldn't feel happy.
The guys in the carpentry group were really good. Now that they had something to study, they started to express their opinions.
