Chapter 484: Planning for the Winter Season
Xia Tian walked to the cave entrance, lifted the thick animal skin curtain hanging at the entrance, looked at the falling snow outside, and silently took stock of the entire winter season, dividing all the things into three parts -
They are things that need to be done immediately, things that need to be done but can be postponed, and things that I want to do. Each part is divided into about two months.
Although there are not many activities during the winter season, we still cannot give up our daily work.
What we need to do right now is to make some preparations to successfully get through the cold season, such as processing fur.
Things that need to be done but can be postponed, such as the ramie fibers that have not been processed before, and some furs that have been collected before, can be spun into yarn for weaving to prepare clothes for the hot season.
There are also some things I plan to do but they are not urgent, such as making a stone mill and studying the use and promotion of writing...
There are so many things to do, let’s start with dealing with fur.
What Xia Tian and Si Ye were wearing now were just the thin animal skin clothes that Si Ye had prepared for them, and a plush fur coat on the outside.
However, there is only one set of such "equipment", and I need to prepare a set for changing later. Now the materials on hand are sufficient, and I just need to cut them.
In addition, the shoes on the feet also need to be upgraded, from the original hollow straw sandals to furry boots.
Back in the cave, Xia Tian found all the sewing tools wrapped in animal skins, and put all the wool she had collected before together.
[Wow, the snow scene I just saw outside is so beautiful! I've never seen such a beautiful and healing scenery before, it's so touching...]
"That's what I wanted to say! But it was probably too cold so I didn't stay long. What a shame!"
I hope you can share some beautiful natural scenery when you have time! This scenery is really beautiful, I hope to see more of it~
"What do you want these furs for?" Si Ye noticed Xia Tian fiddling with a tangle of furry yarn. He raised his head from his prone position, transformed into a human form, and walked out. He subconsciously picked up the things at hand and started fiddling with them. "Let me help you."
"Sure." Xia Tian sorted out all the things and said, "I want to use thread to weave. Let's start with spinning. Have you ever spun thread before? If not, I can teach you."
"No." Si Ye nodded honestly, pinching the cloud-like ball of wool. "I don't understand what you mean... How can these fluffy things become yarn?"
So, are we spinning now? Honestly, I don't really understand what you're saying.
What's Xia Xia's new creative idea? I thought it was strange when I first collected all this fluff, but I never imagined you'd turn it into yarn now?
[I heard it's for knitting! Can this yarn be made into handmade clothes or something? I'm looking forward to it.]
"Spinning means rolling the plush with your fingers, and then using a spindle to process it into the thread we need." Xia Tian found a wooden block to serve as a spindle. "This is the spindle. The two pointed ends are used to fix the thread, and the middle is the point for rotating the relay. But first, you have to use your fingers to roll the plush together. I'll show you how to do it later..."
After saying that, he pulled out a small handful of wool from the plush, twisted it with his fingers, and began to roll it into a thin thread little by little.
