There are actually still a lot of grass roots in this field that have not been pulled out, but they don’t have a hoe, and there is no fertilizer at the moment, so they can only plant the crops like this.
Xiaohua and Aqing understood what she meant, and followed her, one sowing the seeds while the other covered the ashes.
After finishing all this, the three washed their hands by the trench. The people who went to cut bamboo came back carrying three or four thick bamboos each.
Since the intention was to use bamboo to make armor, regardless of their practicality, rope was essential.
The thickness of bamboo is fixed, so the first thing to do is to cut the bamboo into the appropriate length and width.
The length cannot be too long. If it is too long, the person wearing it will have difficulty moving. If it is too short, the hemp rope will be wasted. The degree must be struck well.
Jiang Xue recalled the appearance of the "Golden Jade Clothes" that had caused a sensation at the time, and cut the bamboo into pieces one finger long and two fingers wide, and then strung them together with bamboo rope.
Even the jade pieces used in the Jinluo Jade Suit needed to be punched so that it could be made more conveniently. However, at the moment, they did not have the tools to punch holes, so they could only use hemp rope to tie the cut bamboo pieces together piece by piece.
The hemp rope is made of ramie skin, which had been peeled and soaked in water long ago. It was only taken out of the water and rubbed this morning.
They were in such a hurry that they used the hemp rope before it was dry.
It took Jiang Xue a whole day to make a bamboo chest guard. Without any reference material, she could only rely on memory. She also had no shortage of models; she could just find someone in the tribe.
As soon as the chest guard was made, Mu Feng returned with the hunting team.
Jiang Xue asked Mu Feng to put it on on the spot. The size was okay and she was quite satisfied. Then, she poked Mu Feng with the stone spear in her hand.
Amidst everyone's exclamations, she only heard a dull thud. The bamboo chest guard blocked Jiang Xue's stone spear, and Mu Feng only took a small step back.
Mu Feng was very surprised: "It really can block the attack!"
The tribesmen gradually came to their senses, and then the tribe was in an uproar.
They really didn't expect that this small piece of bamboo could actually block the attack of the stone spear as Jiang Xue said!
Everyone hurriedly took off Mu Feng's chest protector and checked his injuries.
Mu Feng took off his animal skin coat, pointed at the spot where Jiang Xue had stabbed him, and said, "It's really okay. We suffered so much at their hands before, but now you are fine!"
Not to mention being injured before, it would be impossible for him to be stabbed by a stone spear without even a mark.
"Great! Now that we have this thing!" Dashu's eyes flashed with excitement. He touched his chest guard and shouted, "We won't be afraid of them anymore!"
They became excited and scrambled to get their chests covered to see.
Mu Feng looked at Jiang Xue and said, "I thought you were lying to me before, but I never thought this thing would be as effective as you said."
Jiang Xue smiled bitterly. "Are you so happy about just a chest guard? A complete set of armor consists of eight parts: helmet, neck guard, shoulder guard, battle robe, chest guard, bronze mirror, battle skirt, and combat boots. It took us a whole day to make just one chest guard. Judging from this progress, it's really too slow."
Her words hit them hard.
"It's just a chest protector?" Da Shu said exaggeratedly. He was reluctant to put the chest protector down. "But it's really strong."
Jiang Xue laughed and said, "But it's also very heavy. It's suitable for you men, but not so suitable for us women."
Wearing bamboo on your body to fight is a last resort.
Moreover, she used fresh bamboo. Because she was in a hurry, the bamboo strips were strung together without being polished. It looked ugly, but it was indeed a bit heavy when held in the hand.
"Then let's work hard and try to make a set to see the effect." Dashu said, and then called on everyone to start breaking the bamboo and cutting the bamboo strips.
This sentence made everyone very motivated, and even those from the Bear Tribe helped to break the bamboo.
Jiang Xue looked at the tribesmen working hard and felt relieved. She said to Mu Feng, "Mu Feng, tomorrow I plan to have someone cover the roof of the pigpen first, and then fix the toilet."
These two buildings are currently the top priority.
Not to mention whether the pigpen can be used to keep pigs this winter, if we wait until next spring to repair it, grass will be hard to find by then.
Mu Feng nodded: "Don't worry, I will let Xiaoxi and the others do this matter, don't get too tired."
"By the way, while the weather is still not too cold, send someone to dig up some lotus roots and store them."
Mu Feng readily agreed.
Finally, Jiang Xue couldn't help but be curious and asked, "What have you done with Pingyuan and the others?"
When she went out to plant cabbages, Pingyuan and the others were still lying all over the tribe. When she came back after planting the cabbages, Pingyuan and the others were gone.
"We tied him up and threw him into the woods." Mu Feng said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, there are all kinds of ferocious beasts in the woods."
Jiang Xue hummed and said, "You should take people hunting tomorrow. The people from the Bear Tribe are coming soon, so we should stock up on food."
Mu Feng nodded: "Okay."
"And firewood, we need to prepare more."
Mu Feng smiled and said, "Okay."
He agreed with whatever she said.
Jiang Xue watched as the breastplate was passed around by everyone and finally returned to Dashu's hands. Dashu solemnly put the breastplate back into the cave and put it away. She smiled sincerely.
Just a chest protector made them so happy. Do they know that they have too much to do right now?
Not only did they need to store food, but they also needed to store firewood. They even had to chop more bamboo so that they could make armor and backpacks in the winter when they could do nothing.
Pottery and the like are not considered necessities now, but can be purchased later.
When Jiang Xue thought about this, she became even more restless.
Time waits for no one. She had already experienced the unbearable low temperature here last night, and she didn't want to suffer like this tonight. In addition to food, she also had to find a way to get some soft, dry and warm things.
Whether it's cotton or something else, as long as she can have a good winter here, everything will be fine.
Opportunities always come to those who are prepared, but it is already late today, so she decided to make a fire in the cave first.
"By the way, while it's still early, find someone to catch more fish. I can use them."
Mufeng didn't object. He called Dashu to get the fishing net and went fishing.
Jiang Xue wanted to take advantage of the fact that there was enough salt in the tribe and catch some fish and pickle them for emergency use in winter.
