Chapter 115 Weaving Baskets
Xia Tian compared the sizes of the baskets in her mind, picked up two thin branches and bent them into a circle with a diameter of about half a meter, while slightly heating them with charcoal fire.
This kind of basket is very small and actually has higher requirements on production technology than a backpack which only needs to hold things and bear weight.
Therefore, before the basic weaving process, it is necessary to add the charcoal roasting process.
This not only speeds up the drying of moisture in the branches, but also helps shape the branches through the temperature difference before and after, making the woven basket more durable.
As she bent and shaped the branches that made the frame in her hands, she explained why she did so, and the audience in the live broadcast room praised her very much.
[So, heating over fire can also set the shape? 】
[I really don’t know where the anchor learned these skills, it’s really amazing]
[Is this kind of thing really usable? ]
Xia Tian used vines as thin ropes to fix the first circular frame, and used another branch to frame the first one vertically, also bending it into a circle. Finally, she added a third branch around the waist to fix it in a circle, just like the intersection of longitude and latitude lines on the earth. The three branches and the third circle were spliced into a simplified sphere.
Then carefully secure each intersection with vines, and the most important load-bearing part is completed.
The next step is to select half of the sphere as the base of the basket.
Use resilient vines to carefully wrap around it tightly in circles, and put stones in the basket to press the curvature of the spherical surface. Place it on a flat surface next to the campfire and wait for it to take shape.
It takes a lot of time to weave a basket. Xia Tian had just put down the basket when Si Ye came back carrying a stone jar and two stone basins.
The stone jar was the kind commonly used by Chinese families on Earth. It was very large, and a girl with a slender figure like her could squat in it without any pressure.
The two stone basins are also the size commonly used in households and are very practical.
I have to say, these things Si Ye brought back...really touched her heart.
"How did you come up with these ideas? It shouldn't be easy to do, right?" Xia Tian asked him.
Si Ye put down his things and wiped the sweat off his face. "I just think it's inconvenient for you to go to the river every day to fetch water and boil it. There are no water containers here. I want to prepare some containers for you to fill with water. The stone jar can store water, and the boiled water can be placed in the stone basin, so you don't have to work so hard."
This was the first time Xia Tian heard Si Ye say so many words.
What she didn't expect was that he took the initiative to solve the problem of the stone jar and stone basin because he considered that she needed to drink water. She was stunned for a moment.
[Wow! I love this thoughtful daily routine! ! !]
[I feel so romantic for some reason...]
【I say, is it time for dinner? 】
[He looks so cute carrying these things, hahaha]
"Well... thank you." The barrage of comments on the live broadcast screen reminded Xia Tian to come back to her senses. "Put the stone vat next to the door and the stone basin next to the stove. Sit down and rest for a while. I'll prepare dinner."
Si Ye put the things away as the girl said, and sat down to rest next to where she had been weaving baskets. "You go about your business, don't worry about me."
Xia Tiantian nodded and went to prepare dinner for tonight.
It was barbecue just like at lunch, with a vegetable soup to remove the greasiness.
Her movements were quick and swift, and the aroma of barbecue and vegetable soup spread across the live broadcast screen.
