Sister Bai Xue was standing by the ditch of the Qingque tribe with a full wooden bucket of water beside her.

In front of her, there was a person standing, who seemed to be ready to get wet.

This person was none other than the Son of God of the Qingque tribe, Han Cheng.

"Okay, start watering."

Han Cheng tightened his clothes and said this to Bai Xue beside him.

Hearing Han Cheng's words, Bai Xuemei didn't hesitate at all. She reached into the wooden barrel, picked up the water scoop floating on the barrel, scooped up a large scoop of water, and poured it on Han Cheng's head...

This is certainly not a game like the ice bucket challenge, but a test of the effectiveness of the new raincoat that Snow White has made with rain cloth.

“Crash~”

The water poured on Han Cheng's head, making some noise, splashing a little waves, and then flowing downwards.

Han Cheng, who was wearing a raincoat, couldn't help but twitch his cheeks.

This silly daughter-in-law doesn't know how to water slowly. How can she just pour a bucket of water directly on top of me...

"Water it slowly, just like you normally water the vegetables."

Han Cheng explained.

"I-Isn't this how I usually water the vegetables?"

Sister Bai Xue said with some confusion and helplessness.

Han Cheng was speechless for a moment.

"Then you can keep watering it this way."

He sighed helplessly and said this.

When Bai Xuemei heard him say this, she once again scooped up a large bucket of water with the ladle and poured it on Han Cheng again.

However, this time it was much gentler than the first one...

Amid the sound of splashing water, the entire bucket of water was soon poured all over Han Cheng.

"Another bucket!"

Han Cheng shouted in a very heroic tone, and sounded as impressive as someone who won the lottery by drinking iced tea in later generations.

After hearing Han Cheng's words, another bucket of water was brought over quickly.

And soon it poured onto Han Cheng's body...

"Okay, stop for a moment."

Han Cheng smiled and stopped Bai Xuemei from getting another bucket.

After shaking off the water on his body, Han Cheng reached out and took off his raincoat.

There was basically nothing wrong with the front of his body, and it was still dry.

But the back of my body started to feel uncomfortable and was almost completely wet.

Seeing this scene, you can tell without asking that this raincoat is not well made at all.

"Brother Cheng, I didn't make this raincoat well..."

Sister Bai Xue said this with a sense of self-blame.

Han Cheng smiled and stretched out his hand to rub the young wife's head, and said with a smile: "It's not your fault. After all, this is your first time to do this kind of thing, so it's normal to have some minor problems.

Moreover, this minor problem can be easily solved.”

As he said this, Han Cheng turned his raincoat over.

Bring the hat and raincoat together and look at it.

This is not a whole with the raincoat below, but is sewn on with needle and thread.

In this case, no matter how good Bai Xuemei's needlework is, there will inevitably be stitches left.

The water on Han Cheng's body flowed in from here.

"What should I do? My eyes have been pierced with needles."

Sister Bai Xue didn't react to what Han Cheng was talking about.

"It's easy. Just add some tung oil and rub it here. Then let it dry and it will be done.

In this way, all these problems can be blocked.”

Han Cheng smiled and suggested a solution.

Sister Bai Xue's eyes suddenly brightened.

This is really a good idea!

In this way, this raincoat that cannot prevent rain well can be reused without worrying about leaking.

"A small hollow cylinder is sewn on the edge of the hat. The cloth at the edge is folded inward half a centimeter, and then a circle is sewn along the folded edge, leaving a gap at the chin.

Thread the rope inside.

This way, when it's time to put on the raincoat, you can tie the rope under your chin to fix the hood of the raincoat and prevent it from falling off.

Moreover, with this thing, the hood of the raincoat can adapt to many heads and can be worn in the same size. "

Han Cheng explained this to Bai Xuemei.

Sister Bai Xue nodded, indicating that she understood, and said, "I see. This is almost the same as making a waistband. After sewing it, you put the rope inside..."

Han Cheng's mouth twitched involuntarily: "You can understand it this way."

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I forgot to mention. In the future, the rain cloth used to make raincoats and umbrellas must be distinguished from the cloth used on sails. The cloth for sails can be undyed cloth, which can be directly soaked in tung oil, but the cloth for making umbrellas and raincoats must be dyed cloth."

Han Cheng suddenly remembered something and quickly explained it to Bai Xuemei.

Before, Han Cheng only thought about making a raincoat with rain cloth, and didn’t think too much about other things.

But now that it was done and he put it on, Han Cheng felt more and more uncomfortable the more he looked at it.

Before, he hadn't realized clearly where this awkward feeling of his came from, but now, he realized...

This cloth soaked in tung oil is a little yellower than before, but it is only slightly yellower.

White is still its main color.

In addition, the style of this raincoat makes it look especially like mourning clothes.

And he is the kind who values ​​filial piety very much.

Han Cheng is not superstitious, but in a situation like this, he still seems to feel extremely uncomfortable.

It feels particularly awkward.

So after realizing this, Han Cheng quickly explained it to Bai Xue.

This would prevent him from forgetting about it in the future and having people in the tribe make such a raincoat again.

Sister Bai Xue nodded again, indicating that she had taken note of it.

After explaining these things, Han Cheng took the raincoat and walked outside with Bai Xuemei. He found some tung oil and brushed it on the connection between the hat and the raincoat.

Both the inside and outside were painted.

The needle holes were quickly blocked with tung oil.

"Brother Cheng, what do you think about me making a raincoat out of linen first, then soaking it in tung oil and drying it in the sun?"

Standing here and watching Han Cheng hang the raincoat with tung oil on the joints on the rope to dry, Bai Xuemei blinked for a while and suddenly said this.

Hearing Bai Xuemei say this, Han Cheng couldn't help but have his eyes light up.

He felt that the method mentioned by the child bride might actually be a good idea.

When Bai Xuemei was making the raincoat before, he was watching the whole process. It is troublesome to sew the rain cloth with a needle, which is laborious and time-consuming, and the production speed is not fast enough.

Sister Bai Xue herself said that if she used ordinary linen to make raincoat-style clothes, she could make about two pieces in the same amount of time.

If this idea can really come true, the efficiency of production will be greatly improved in the future.

Moreover, in this way, some of the cut scraps can be used again, thus saving some linen.

Because these linens are not brushed with tung oil, some tung oil can be saved.

"You can give it a try. If you don't try, no one knows if it will work."

Han Cheng looked at Bai Xuemei and said with a smile.

Sister Bai Xue nodded vigorously once again, and quickly returned to the house, found the winnowing basket, and found some dyed linen to cut and make...

Han Cheng stood here and watched for a while, then left and went to find skilled craftsmen in the tribe to ask them to make umbrellas.

When it comes to umbrellas, in addition to the rain cover, the more core and technically demanding parts are the handle and ribs inside.

The raincoat can be left to Sister Bai Xue to study and make, but the umbrella cannot be made.

This was seriously beyond her scope.

According to the status and ability of the tribal carpenters, bamboo craftsmen, and weavers, it would be best to let Bo, the common ancestor of the three factions, make such new things. It won't take too long for Bo to basically make it.

However, Bo is now leading people to study more advanced and important things such as sailing, so Han Cheng doesn't want to disturb him.

Fortunately, there should be quite a few people in the tribe who know this skill.

Even if we remove Bo and the people who are busy with big things like Bo, there will still be someone who can do these things.

“…This thing is the most important part, it’s very delicate, but because it’s delicate, it’s also difficult to make, I’m not very clear about this.

I can only give you a rough outline and provide you with a general idea. You need to figure out what to do next on your own.”

Han Cheng said this to a person standing next to him.

This man was none other than the carpenter he was looking for.

The difficulty in making an umbrella that Han Cheng mentioned is how to connect the umbrella frame and the handle together.

And how to open and close the ribs.

Once these two problems are solved, the umbrella will be ready soon.

Han Cheng stood here and talked to this man for a long time before he finally understood what he was saying.

After seeing that this person had really understood what he meant, Han Cheng stood up and went to another place.

After a while, Han Cheng appeared in the carpenter's courtyard surrounded by trees.

The small courtyard surrounded by a low wall where the carpenter's room is located is still as busy as before.

It is precisely because of these people’s busyness that various useful tools appear in the tribe.

Han Cheng smiled and nodded to those who nodded and greeted him, then walked straight inside and soon came to Bo and others.

At this time, a boat bottom made of several wooden boards has been placed here.

There is other processed wood on the side.

Lame stood here, staring at the bottom of the boat, and from time to time he took out a ruler to measure it.

Sometimes, I would chat with some people around me.

After a while, a few people started to work again with the clanging and dinging.

While they were busy, the bottom of the boat that had been spliced ​​together was taken apart again. After it was taken apart, someone started moving a board to one side to make modifications.

The ship built this time was a sailing ship.

Although Bo had never seen a sailboat, he knew from Han Cheng that a sailboat was much larger than the wooden boats that their tribe currently had.

The bottom of the boat at this time is almost five times larger than the wooden boat owned by the tribe.

It is not easy to move even a single plank of such a large ship bottom, and it requires several people to lift it.

After lifting it to the side, they spent a lot of time and effort to make it neat. Then several people lifted it back again, and after a while of hammering and banging, they finally installed it.

It was just a matter of modifying a piece of wood, but it made several people sweat and feel tired.

A long time passed, almost an hour.

There are more than one place that needs to be modified. As one move will affect the entire body, there are still many places that need to be modified.

Han Cheng looked at the thick wooden board with lines drawn on the edge and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Making a sailboat is really time-consuming and labor-intensive!

To make such a big thing, given the current level of the Qingque tribe, it would take a lot of effort to make it.

Not to mention that the tribe has no experience in making sailboats, so everything has to be figured out from scratch.

This will be more labor-intensive and time-consuming.

"It's too big, and it's very inconvenient to make. It takes a lot of time every time."

At this time, Wu saw Han Cheng coming over and said this to Han Cheng.

Han Chengdu saw everything that happened just now. This was indeed a very troublesome matter.

Because the ship was so big, everything seemed so difficult.

To be honest, the ship we are trying now is not big enough. If we make a bigger ship, wouldn’t that just add to the trouble?

Han Cheng was about to nod his head, feeling the same way, when suddenly something flashed through his mind!

“You can make a boat first!”

He couldn't help but blurt it out.

Lame and the others standing nearby were stunned when they heard this.

What does Son of God mean by this?

Which one builds the boat first?

Didn’t you say before that you wanted to build a big ship?

Why are we building a boat now?

So will this big ship still be built?

Looking at these people who were looking at him with confusion, Han Cheng suppressed his excitement and tried to calm himself.

He gathered his thoughts and organized his words and said, "What I mean is that we should first build a small boat, in the shape of the large sailing ship that we are going to build.

All the materials used should be reduced in proportion.

Because the boat is small and the materials are small, it is very convenient to repair it no matter how you do it.

After we build this small sailboat and figure out every detail, we will then start building the large sailboat. It will be much more convenient and easier!

Because we already know how to make it, we can save a lot of trouble in making modifications during this process!"

As soon as Han Cheng finished speaking, the first carpenter standing next to him, Lame, his eyes lit up instantly!
