In the Qingque main tribe, Han Cheng looked at the linen that had been soaked in tung oil and then dried, and a smile appeared on his face.

The linen at this time became much thicker, and under the sunlight, it actually had a slightly glowing appearance.

Han Cheng picked it up, looked at it in his hand for a while, then took a corner of the cloth and dipped it in the water.

Unlike soaking ordinary linen, the resistance when soaking this linen soaked in tung oil is much greater.

Han Cheng pressed it into the water and soaked it for about two minutes before taking it out.

Then, a miracle happened.

The cloth that was taken out was not soaked with water like ordinary linen, and looked very heavy.

But after taking it out, many water droplets slid down.

With a slight shake like this, the water drops that stuck to it and refused to slide down also fell down one after another.

Seeing this magical scene, the two people standing on the side couldn't help but widen their eyes.

How did the linen become like this after being added with tung oil?

This is really amazing!

"Come on, stretch out these cloths here."

After standing here and watching for a while, Han Cheng smiled and said this to the two people beside him.

The two of them followed Han Cheng's instructions and immediately started working, completing the task according to Han Cheng's requirements.

The two people who were holding the cloth turned their heads to look at Han Cheng, waiting for Han Cheng's next move.

They had no idea what the Son of God would do next.

That is why my heart is filled with anticipation.

Han Cheng bent down and scooped up a ladle of water from the basin and poured it directly onto the sackcloth held up by the two men.

The two people who helped Han Cheng were very confused by this.

Wu, who heard the news and rushed over to watch the fun, was also confused.

They didn't understand at all why the Son of God of their tribe did this.

This is water, not the soy milk ground with a small flower grinder. It needs to be filtered in this way to get out the dregs...

The three of them were thinking this strangely in their hearts, but no one said anything. They just watched quietly to see what the Son of God could make using this method.

I didn't notice any difference. The water was still water, and the cloth was still cloth. There was no change.

"Look! The water isn't leaking!"

A man who was pulling the sackcloth suddenly shouted in surprise.

After being reminded by him, Wu and another person who was wondering immediately reacted.

They quickly shifted their gaze to the bottom of the cloth in their hands and looked there.

Sure enough, the ground beneath the cloth was not wet.

There was water on the cloth, and the amount of water remained there as the Son of God had poured it.

Such a magical scene made everyone's eyes widen in surprise.

From what they had experienced before, linen was absolutely not waterproof. Once water fell on it, it would immediately get wet.

Not to mention using a cloth to hold the water to prevent it from dripping down like we are doing now!

This is really magical!

Han Cheng looked at the effect, then looked at the expressions of the people around him, and couldn't help but smile.

"Son of God! It would be great if you could use this kind of cloth to make bamboo hats and raincoats!

Wear it when it rains, and you won’t have to worry about getting wet no matter how heavy the rain is! ”

Wu suddenly shouted this out loud, with a look of excitement on his face.

Han Cheng, who was secretly happy there, was stunned after hearing Wu's words. He then reached out and slapped his forehead hard.

I was so busy thinking about using this cloth to make sails that I forgot to make rain gear!

What Wu said was absolutely correct. This waterproof cloth is very suitable for making rain gear.

It seems that before plastic sheets and various waterproof industrial fabrics were introduced to the country where Han Cheng lived in later generations, people used this kind of cloth soaked in tung oil to make rain gear.

He seemed to have seen this kind of umbrella when he was a child and had a vague impression of it.

Han Cheng could no longer tell whether he had seen it when he was a child going to the market with his parents, or when there was a temple fair in the village.

But I can still remember the umbrella and the scene under it.

It was a day with a drizzle of rain falling from the sky.

A large umbrella made of bamboo as thick as an adult's arm was fixed there.

The big bamboo umbrella is very large and can cover a large area when opened.

However, unlike the umbrellas produced after the industry developed later, these umbrellas were not round.

But it is long.

There are very few ribs on the umbrella, and I think there are only four.

Even if there are more than this, it will not exceed six.

The rain cloth on the big umbrella is white.

But this kind of white is not pure at all.

Due to its age and exposure to smoke and fire, this cloth, which was originally supposed to be white, has now basically turned into yellow of varying shades.

Some places even turned brown.

But even in this situation, it still stands here firmly, providing shelter for the people below it from wind and rain.

There is a burning boiler under the umbrella, and an elderly couple in their fifties are running a steamed bun shop.

The buns are not steamed, but pan-fried.

The large flat-bottomed pan for cooking dumplings was covered with a lid, and hot steam was rising continuously.

Next to it was a bamboo skewer with some steaming hot pan-fried buns fried until golden on one side.

Next to the pan-fried buns, there is a thickly wrapped bucket filled with tofu pudding.

On the simple table, several people were eating pan-fried dumplings, and occasionally scooping up tofu pudding to drink a few sips.

From time to time, raindrops would gather together and drip down along the ribs of the umbrella.

Make a lot of small potholes...

Because of his young age, Han Cheng's attention was mostly on the golden fried dumplings and the white jade-like tofu pudding with sugar, so he remembered these very clearly. However, he did not have a deep impression of the large, vintage umbrella.

yes!

Now that I have this thing called a rain cloth, I can also ask people in the tribe to make some rain gear with it!

You can't always think about making it into a sail.

Han Cheng couldn't say that he disliked the tribe's straw hats and raincoats, but he had long since stopped wanting to wear them.

These two things really look very simple and primitive, and are very suitable for the era that Han Cheng is living in now.

But these two things are too bulky. They look heavy when worn on the body and do not give people a good feeling.

Of course, in the entire tribe, the only one who thought that these two things were bulky and difficult to use was probably him, who came from the future and had experienced umbrellas and various light raincoats.

Before, because there were no good waterproof materials in the tribe, and the straw hats and raincoats could be used as makeshift, Han Cheng didn't think much about it.

At this moment, looking at the newly made rain cloth in front of him and hearing what the witch said, Han Cheng's heart suddenly flashed with light.

Bo and his people have just begun to try to make sailboats, and it is still unknown how long it will take for their tribe to have their own sailboats.

In other words, the cloth that I got to use as sails will not be used in the short term.

Why not take advantage of this time to let the craftsmen in the tribe try to use this kind of cloth to make umbrellas, raincoats and other lightweight rain gear!

"Wu, you are absolutely right. This kind of cloth is so good at waterproofing that it can indeed be used to make rain gear!"

Han Cheng said to Wu with a smile, with great affirmation.

After Wu heard Han Cheng say this, he was stunned for a moment.

I was just saying this casually, why did the Son of God take it so seriously?

Moreover, the cloth itself is quite precious, and because it is soaked in precious tung oil, it becomes even more precious.

Using such precious things to make rain gear is really too extravagant.

Looking at the Son of God who was looking at him with a smile and giving him a look of approval, Wu felt that his head was a little big, as if he had made a big mistake unintentionally.

Son of God, don't get me wrong, I was just saying this casually, I didn't really mean to use such a precious thing as rain gear!

"God, Son of God, the bamboo hats and raincoats in the tribe are very good. They won't get wet when it rains. They are easy to make and the materials are ordinary."

After the witch reacted, he quickly explained, trying to make amends for the Son of God's wasteful behavior that was about to be caused by his talkativeness.

However, this is obviously impossible.

Han Dashenzi waved his hand and said in a generous manner: "You think the bamboo hat and raincoat are good because you haven't come into contact with better rain gear. When you come into contact with better rain gear, you will not think so."

As he said this, he began to ask the two men to help him collect the things he called rain cloths, and find skilled craftsmen in the tribe to make new rain gear.

Not long after, Han Cheng took the two of them away from here and followed Wu.

Wu's expression became extremely excited, as if he had made a huge mistake.

In his opinion, he had indeed made a big mistake.

If I hadn't been so talkative, the Son of God wouldn't have thought of using this precious rain cloth as rain gear.

The tribe can save some more things...

What a sin!

Han Cheng didn't expect that his behavior would make Wu, who was watching the fun on the side, become so self-blaming and heartbroken.

He quickly found a skilled craftsman.

This person was none other than his own wife, Bai Xuemei.

Bai Xuemei is very good at needlework, and Han Cheng often communicates with her in simple terms, so they are familiar with each other and can talk about some things with greater tacit understanding.

So when Han Cheng was preparing to ask people to make some raincoats with such rain cloth, the first person he thought of was Bai Xuemei.

"…It doesn't have to be complicated, just make it into the shape of a raincoat."

Han Cheng said this to Bai Xuemei.

After saying that, he felt that what he had just said was not clear enough.

He added again: "It's almost like making a hole in the middle of a long piece of cloth, and then making a hat that is short in the front and long in the back to cover the neck, and sewing it on top."

“But please note that this is used to protect against rain, so the stitching and other parts should be as careful as possible to prevent rain from seeping in.

Han Cheng explained this to Bai Xuemei.

After initially coming up with the idea of ​​having people use rain cloth to make rain gear, Han Cheng finally had the first thing to be made, which was a raincoat.

Because compared to the ribs of an umbrella, the raincoat does not have such complicated procedures and technical requirements, and is easier to make and produce results.

Moreover, another important reason is that raincoats are something that can be worn on the body, so there is no need to free up a hand to control it.

When worn, it protects you from wind and rain while not affecting your work.

Something like this is very suitable for the busy Qingque tribe.

Of course, Han Cheng would not let anyone in the tribe leave behind an umbrella.

After all, this is one of the two most common tools for sheltering from the rain.

Umbrellas also have their advantages in that they can last for a long time.

For example, when you hold an umbrella on a rainy day, you basically don’t have to experience the feeling of cold rain hitting your face when you are wearing a raincoat, which can make you look more calm and decent.

Of course, if you think about it further and add some pink romance elements, you will find that umbrellas are more suitable for lovers on rainy days.

Consider the two couples using umbrellas and wearing raincoats.

A couple held an umbrella together, chatting and laughing, showing their affection to each other, it was so romantic.

The other couple was wearing raincoats, with only their faces visible.

And this face was covered with rain.

The romantic atmosphere of a young couple going out on a rainy day is completely gone with this kind of attire...

Sister Bai Xue tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded, indicating that she understood what Brother Cheng meant.

Then he found a small winnowing basket, took out needle and thread, scissors, ruler, thimble and other tools from it, and began to try to make it here.

Han Cheng stood here and did not leave, but squatted on the side.

When the little son in the cradle wanted to cry, he reached out and rocked the cradle a few times to coax him to sleep.

As for picking up the little guy and rocking him, Han Cheng did not do it.

Because after doing this a few times, the next time the child makes a fuss, you will need to hold him in your arms if you want to calm him down.

It takes a lot of effort.

If this goes on for a long time, it is impossible to put it in the cradle and let it sleep well, or play there well.

Once such a habit is formed, the person who takes care of the child will be really tired...
