When Su Bai got up today, he saw a lot of things on the table. He walked over curiously and looked at it.
"Wu, I have prepared breakfast. You can eat it after washing up." Yuying's soft voice sounded.
She took off her apron and walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of hot lean meat porridge.
Ever since Min started training people to make crayfish, the kitchen has been taken over by the fox-eared lady.
Yuying actually enjoyed it, as she had a special liking for cooking.
"Oh, who brought that on the table?"Su Bai asked
"People from the farmland brought it over, saying it was a new species discovered in the forest. They didn't know what it was, thinking that the witch should know it and maybe bring it back if it was useful."Yuying explained
"This thing does work."Su Bai looked through it for a long time and finally knew what this thing was.
"Wu, what is this thing? Never seen it before."Yu Ying flicked the fox's tail curiously!
When the fox-eared lady talked about this thing in the morning, she also studied it for a long time, but in the end she still couldn't figure out the reason.
"This thing is called kapok, and the things inside are very useful."Su Bai said with a smile.
Yes, those fruits in his hand are kapok fruits called kapok fruits.
There are several kapok trees next to the house where Su Bai lives in modern times, so he is most familiar with this kapok fruit..Although the kapok fruits from the primitive era looked very big, their color, appearance, and smell were the same as the kapok fruits he was familiar with.
"Kapok fruit? This is the first time I heard this name, Wu, but what is the use of something with this shape? It doesn't look delicious either."
Yu Ying picked up another kapok fruit and looked at it, resisting the urge to take a bite.
Because she heard that this thing was a fruit and said it was very useful, she immediately thought of eating it.
After all, she had been a wizard before. There were so many new things out there that were all edible, and she thought this was no exception.
"Silly girl, of course this is not for eating, this is for use. We can use it to fill quilts, pillows, fabrics, and even make cotton-padded clothes, quilts, pillows, etc."
The corners of Su Bai's mouth raised as he spoke, and he took out the seeds from the kapok fruit and continued:"As for its seeds, they can also be used to extract oil, or make soap, fertilizer, etc."
Anyway, the more he talked, the happier he became. You must know that the kapok tree is a treasure from head to toe.
The rhizomes of the kapok tree are also useful, and their extracts can be used as astringents, analgesics, etc.
Its juice It can be used to treat dysentery. Its root bark, stem bark and thorns can be ground into powder to make an ointment that can be used to treat acne.
In addition, kapok is a Chinese medicinal material.
Kapok is used to boil water. It has the effect of treating rheumatoid arthritis and tracheitis.
It also has the effect of diuresis and promoting digestion, clearing heat and removing dampness, treating postpartum congestion, regulating the gastrointestinal tract, and relieving chronic gastritis, dysentery and other diseases.
Prevents pain, improves sleep, relieves numbness, pain and reduces swelling. You can drink water boiled with kapok for relief.
Isn’t such a good thing a treasure? This is why Su Bai was so happy after knowing that this was the fruit of kapok.
"Such a strange thing has such good uses, why haven't we discovered it before?"
Yu Ying looked at the cotton wool inside the kapok fruit curiously, and found that it felt soft and soft to the touch, and the texture was also very good.
"There are a lot of things you haven't discovered yet, and you will know them gradually in the future."
After Su Bai finished speaking, he didn't bother to wash up or eat. Instead, he walked to his seat and started drawing with a pen and paper.
"Won’t Wu have breakfast first? What are you going to draw?"Of course Yuying didn't bother to have breakfast.
"Draw a drawing of a spinning hammer. Now that we have cotton batting, we must make cotton batting into cotton thread. In this way, it is very convenient to use it to make clothes, scarves, hats and the like."
Su Bai was drawing while talking. When he saw the kapok fruit, the appearance of a spinning hammer came to his mind.
In modern times, he may have watched less videos about this aspect. The spinning hammer is very Useful stuff, you can turn cotton wool into a cotton thread in just a few clicks
"Wu, is there anything I can help with?"Yuying heard strange words again.
"No, just wait until I finish drawing and you can take my drawings to the carpentry department and ask them to make one according to my plan for me to see."Su Bai said with a smile.
He can't wait to try it now. If it succeeds, the development of the tribe will take a big step forward.
Su Bai has been waiting, that is, waiting for the system to open it for him. A cotton seed came out.
Either the tribesmen found cotton in the forest, and the drawings he gave to the soldiers before contained cotton.
The purpose was to produce cotton products in the tribe, so as to improve the quality of life of the tribe. It will improve again.
Especially when the big ice and snow arrives, it will be easier to survive the winter with cotton products.
"yes."Yu Ying was waiting nearby obediently.
"No, no, no, I think the spinning hammer is too slow. I need to make a spinning wheel so that it can be mass-produced in the future."
Su Bai murmured to himself while canceling the drawing he had just made, and taking out a new drawing to start painting.
He was just thinking about the video of survival in the wild. At that time, he made a textile hammer because of insufficient conditions.
But now he is managing a tribe, and he has very capable carpenters.
The first thing he must make is the textile wheel, so that the efficiency can be greatly improved.
Thinking of this, Su Bai's painting speed has improved again, and the charcoal roller It makes a constant rustling sound when it collides with the wolf's tail paper.
"Wu, do you want to have breakfast first? I'm afraid Wu is a little hungry."Yu Ying knew that the next step would be a big project.
"It's okay, I'm not hungry yet. Go and tell the people over there in the farmland that I need a lot of kapok fruits and ask them to collect them all."Su Bai ordered.
If there is a spinning wheel to spin cotton thread, the kapok fruit in front of you will not be enough.
"good."Yu Ying immediately nodded and turned to leave.
Su Bai saw the fox-eared lady leaving and began to concentrate on echoing the specific operating principles of the spinning wheel.
He had to draw the drawings in very detail so that the carpenter could make it. After all , people in primitive times didn’t know what textiles were, so they had to work harder.
"No, the tribe is making sackcloth now, I'm really stupid."Su Bai laughed at himself.
The same principle applies to ramie, not to mention kapok wadding..........................................
