Chapter 216 Processing of Animal Hides (3)
According to Si Ye's description of the plant, the skin is very tough and can be drawn into thin threads for sewing. The first thing Xia Tian thought of was ramie.
Ramie is a very ancient fiber crop in China. According to archaeological research, it has been cultivated in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River as early as the Neolithic Age. It has a history of nearly 5,000 years, which is almost as long as the life of China.
This plant is a shrub that does not grow very tall. It likes moisture and heat and usually grows in temperate and subtropical regions. The linen clothes made from it are refreshing and breathable, which is just right for people in such places to wear in summer.
When Xia Tian was surveying the surroundings, she felt that the climate here was very similar to that of Lingnan, China on Earth. The thought of using ramie briefly crossed her mind. However, considering that this wasn't Earth after all, and that the climate might not be exactly the same, she quickly put it aside.
Unexpectedly, there was a ray of hope after a dark period, and she actually found a similar substitute?
You know, ramie is a plant that is full of treasures and there is almost no place where it cannot be utilized.
For example, ramie leaves are rich in protein and cellulose and can be used as feed, ramie roots can be used for medicinal purposes, and the rest can be used to make paper...
"Tell me where you found it and take me there later. This thing can be very useful." Xia Tian couldn't wait and thought about picking ramie directly.
If ramie really exists and there is a lot of it as Si Ye said, then not only will we no longer have to wear animal skins during the hot season in the future, we can also consider large-scale planting and even develop a fabric business.
The girl now looks like a little girl who has received a birthday present. Her face is filled with excitement and she looks eager to try. She is very cute.
Si Ye shook his head and agreed, speeding up his sewing. "Okay, don't worry, I'll sew this cloak for you."
[Hahaha, Mr. Si, just spoil her. You have to be both her father and mother, and you even sew clothes for others.]
[That's great! I didn't expect you to have this skill. You can even make clothes???]
[A full range of handmade natural fur cloaks... I feel like they're all out of stock now, so I can only buy bionic leather]
[How amazing! This is the first time I've seen a male sew his own clothes. Thinking of Lao Si's childhood, I feel a little sad.]
The man's hands moved quickly because he was very skilled and steady. The size of the bone needle was limited, so although the holes were large, they were distributed very neatly, just like they were sewn by a machine, and were exquisite and pleasing to the eye.
The animal skin was very thick, and although the bone needle was sharpened, it was very difficult to pierce it. Xia Tian suddenly felt fortunate that Si Ye had this skill, otherwise it would be very difficult to solve this problem.
The man was very skillful and even though he was injured, he managed to sew the cloak before the sun set.
Congratulations to the host for achieving the "Cloak" achievement and unlocking the "Textile" category in the Stone Age. Log in to the system quickly to claim the corresponding rewards!
Just as Si Ye bit off the last thread, a long-lost electronic prompt sound rang in Xia Tian's ears.
It is the reward from the live broadcast system for her achievement.
She felt a little puzzled. The person bound to the system was clearly her, not Si Ye. This dress wasn't made by her, and she hadn't even counted the time she'd spent cultivating the fields outside...
How come Si Ye lights up the civilization tree just by making a piece of clothing?
Hey everyone, have you guessed it? Also, today is Mid-Autumn Festival. I wish you all family happiness, good health, and all the best! (Don’t think I’m being cheesy, after all, a simple life is the real thing, hahaha)
