Chapter 46
Qi touched the thick felt in his hand, and his calm expression was broken.
"Is this made of discarded wool?" he couldn't help asking.
He was not questioning it, it was just too unbelievable and he wanted to hear a positive answer.
Yu Sui's smile remained unchanged and he nodded.
Before he could open his mouth, the snow werewolf who was helping him move the animal fur spoke.
"Oh, it's true! I brought it back for Xiao Yu Sui myself! It's made from the unwanted fur our tribe shredded!"
Xu and Xiangcao finally understood why the tribesmen were cheering excitedly, and they couldn't help grinning!
Qi looked at Yu Sui with excitement, his dark eyes filled with joy, and he couldn't help but hug him in his arms.
The crowd's cheers suddenly died down, and they all responded with teasing looks.
Chief Bangbo pointed at Heiyan and laughed, jokingly saying, "We still have so many people. Let Xiaoyu Sui out first. You two can hang out after we leave."
Uncle Robert sighed with disappointment. Such a smart and capable cub, but his mind was always on this snow werewolf.
After being here for a long time, he also heard about Yu's glorious deeds before he was 21 years old.
After struggling to break free in a hurry, Yu Sui's face turned red with shame in front of everyone, and even his ears were stained a light red.
He understood Qi's excitement at seeing the wool and felt, but he couldn't spread rumors in front of so many people!
He does have an official partner, but I will have to find a partner in the future!
Yu Sui glanced at Qi with annoyance and gave him orders with a pout.
"That's perfect. Brother Qi, bring me some animal hair and I'll demonstrate it to everyone from the beginning."
Qi stood up with a smile, nodded to his father, and went back to the square to get the animal hair.
Yu Sui's psychological endurance has now been tempered to be extremely strong. After calming down, he introduced to everyone the difference between felt and cloth, and also talked about the uses of wool.
"Wool can be used to make clothes, scarves and gloves. However, the wool needs to be of high quality so that the clothes made are softer."
Picking up the felt again, Yu Sui said, "You can use this to replace straw mats. It's a bit hard for making clothes, not as good as fur. The advantage is that it's not picky about the raw materials."
Xu and Xiangcao listened carefully and were happy to hear that the felt could replace the straw mat. They, the snow wolves, also liked a comfortable environment, but the conditions did not allow it before.
As for clothes made of wool, although there are no finished products yet, just by touching the soft balls of yarn you can tell that the clothes made from them will definitely be very comfortable.
Especially Vanilla, no matter how heroic her personality is, she likes soft things. Looking at the ball of yarn, the love in her eyes almost overflows.
There were still a lot of gray rabbit skins at home. Yu Sui was about to cut the rabbit hair and put it in a basin to wash it when his fellow tribesmen took over the job.
Yu Sui's big kang came in handy today. He lifted up the fur and straw mat to make room to dry the rabbit hair.
The kang was large enough to hold a lot of rabbit fur at once. Yu Sui added a lot of coal to the kang hole, trying to keep the fire from burning too much to avoid scorching the rabbit fur.
Even so, Uncle Heiyan was still worried and asked the careful Vanilla to turn the rabbit hair to prevent it from being accidentally burnt.
With the help of his fellow tribesmen, Yu Sui only needed to give orders. Boiling water was soon added to the yard, and the pot on the stove was also busy, boiling hot water.
The felt he made was only preliminarily shaped. He demonstrated how to roll the felt, and then repeatedly press it with his arms before the felt was finally shaped.
After washing the felt with boiling water, the final product can be dried and used.
He made the felt with linen today. If he wanted to produce it in large quantities, it would be better to use fine straw mats or bamboo mats.
Curtains made of this material can better shape the felt, making the felt more neat.
The dwarves who were good at handicrafts took on this task. They were not as cold-resistant as the snow werewolves, so they found bamboo in Yu Sui's house and weaved bamboo curtains.
Anyway, Yu Sui's house was big and there was no space on the kang, so many people could sit on the floor in each room. The dwarves found a fur to spread under them and started working.
Qi came back with furs in a short while. Not knowing how long the furs Yu Sui needed, he simply brought the furs of all the monsters he had hunted that day.
It would be a waste to just take the hair from all these furs, but since there are no high-level monsters today, these low-level furs are not worth much when used to exchange for items.
It is better to raise the animals for their wool, which can be recycled and is not as dependent on the environment as it is now.
"It would be great if we could keep the sheep in a pen and keep them from running around. Their wool would be the best to use."
Thinking this in his heart, Yu Sui couldn't help but mutter in front of the pile of furs.
Qi can now understand what Yu Sui means through the strange words he occasionally says, and is no longer surprised by his strange ideas.
Thinking of the idea of farming that Yu Sui had proposed before, Qi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
When he first heard the idea of farming, his initial reaction was that it was not feasible. However, now that Yu Sui proposed raising sheep in pens, he subconsciously began to think about how to implement it.
The instigator just mentioned it casually, and Yu Sui didn't expect Qi to really take it to heart. He thought that breeding was the same as farming, and it had to be discussed several times.
The fine and soft hair is collected to make yarn, and the rough hair is used to make felt.
The cafeteria has already opened for lunch, and there are still quite a few people gathered here, all unwilling to leave.
In order to avoid suspicion, Chief Bombur originally wanted to take the dwarves away first to avoid the process of making wool and felt.
Heiyan waved his hand and asked them to stay.
"If that's the case, we can't go over to help you build your house next year, or we'll learn the house-building skills too."
Chief Bangber patted Heiyan's arm with his short, thick hand and said, "Well, I won't be polite with you then."
The two clan leaders discussed it and decided to leave some of the clan members behind while letting the others go to the cafeteria to eat first and take turns later.
Although they still wanted to witness the entire production process with their own eyes, after hearing the order from the clan leader, everyone left reluctantly, leaving only the clan members working.
The dwarves and snow werewolves who stayed behind were as happy as if they had won the lottery, which puzzled Yu Sui, the former worker.
If his former boss had delayed his meals, Yu Sui would have made a doll and cursed him to lose all his hair.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but touch his thick hair.
Actually, you can't blame him for this, and he seems to be enjoying it.
Qi, Xu and Xiangcao naturally refused to leave, and Heiyan did not force them, so he asked them to stay and help.
The amount of animal hair cut off was huge, so the heavy work was naturally done by the snow wolves. Qi and Xu also followed the tribesmen to wash the animal hair separately in basins.
At this time, the role of the well is reflected, and it is very convenient to use when a large amount of water is needed.
In the past, in winter, the river was frozen. The snow wolves either broke out some ice to use, or collected snow from the ground and melted it with firewood before using it.
This not only wastes firewood, but also easily damages pottery jars due to alternating hot and cold temperatures. Every year, many pottery jars explode due to boiling water. At that time, their pottery was still scarce, and they were not as wealthy as they are now.
Although the well in the courtyard would freeze, if you added some hot water into it, you could pump out water in a short time.
In short, it is very convenient. All the tribesmen present were attracted by it and silently decided to get one for their own family in the future.
Unconsciously, their thinking has been subtly influenced. They were content with living in animal skin tents, but now they have considered everything they need for a new house.
Yu Sui didn't know what they were thinking, otherwise he would have told them that wells cannot be dug in every place and he was just lucky.
Vanilla collected the dried rabbit hair and rolled them into long thin strips.
Operating a spinning machine does not require stronger skills than a loom. Seeing that Xiangcao was very interested, Yu Sui taught her how to operate it step by step.
Due to the well-known height difference, it is quite difficult for Yu Sui to teach.
Everyone was working hard in the yard. When half of the rabbit hair was consumed, Notting walked in angrily with Ashan.
"Okay, I said Xiaoyu Sui must have come up with something new. You guys are so disloyal. You just ran away without saying anything."
He pointed at Xu and complained angrily, fearing that Qi or Xiangcao would beat him, so he only dared to complain to Xu.
There is less prey in winter, and the work in the canteen is much lighter, so Ashan also sneaks out to join in the fun.
There were many snow wolves washing animal hair in the yard. They found it boring, so they went into the house to watch Xiangcao and Yu Sui spinning wool.
Even though they heard about it from the tribesmen who went to the cafeteria, they were still shocked when they saw it with their own eyes. They both wanted to touch the wool wrapped around the wooden wheel.
Vanilla glared at them, and the two of them quickly retracted their hands as if they were electrocuted.
After working in the cafeteria, Ashan was beaten less often and his fear of vanilla was significantly reduced.
After retracting his hand, he tentatively approached the spinning machine again.
Yu Sui and Notting were afraid of being affected, so they retreated silently.
With a sneer, Vanilla slowly put down the work in her hands, crossed her hands and rubbed them, her joints making crisp sounds.
The snow wolf's alert radar sounded instantly. At the critical moment, Ashan retracted his steps, laughed foolishly a few times, and slipped away inconspicuously.
The tall stature and sneaky movements formed a sharp contrast, and Yu Sui couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Ashan looked at him resentfully, not daring to speak for fear of being beaten by Xiangcao.
At this time, Qi and Xu came in with the washed animal hair, and washed the different colored animal hair separately as Yu Sui said.
Ashan and Notting were quickly diverted and focused on watching Yu Sui demonstrate to them how to make felt.
It is easier to use force on the bamboo curtains made of felt. Seeing Yu Sui pulling the bamboo curtain rolled into a cylindrical shape and stepping on it at the same time, this is very suitable for snow wolves. Ashan and Notting took over excitedly.
Because of Ashan's previous experience, Yu Sui asked them to do it, but watched from the side with concern.
He didn't want the bamboo curtain that the dwarves had worked so hard to make to be broken, otherwise Ashan would definitely not escape being beaten this time.
After using the bamboo curtain to initially shape the felt, Ashan and Notting, under Yu Sui's instruction, knelt on the ground and rolled the felt with their arms.
It's like this isn't work, it's play.
The work of making felt seems to be tailor-made for the snow wolves. They are strong and can do this job quickly without much effort.
The felt made of animal hair with separate colors has uniform colors and looks more realistic than the first piece with mixed colors.
After making the magical felt cloth by themselves, Ashan and Notting, two thick-skinned idiots, picked it up excitedly to look at it.
Compared with felt and cotton of the same thickness, felt has low toughness and is easily torn. However, felt is made very thick because it is used as a mattress.
Orcs have no definition of New Year, but today the tribe is as lively as New Year.
Everyone was busy making a batch of felt and wool. Uncle Heiyan waved his hand with a red face and directed the younger generations to put these in Yu Sui's cellar.
Not daring to refute, Yu Sui secretly made up his mind that when Uncle Heiyan built a house next year, he would ask the dwarf to dig a big basement for Uncle Heiyan to avoid piling everything in his cellar.
Although this also represents the trust of the tribesmen in him, for Sui, it is also a hassle to have someone come to move toilet paper every now and then.
Knitting clothes with wool takes time, and it was almost evening when Uncle Heiyan mercifully let the tired Yu Sui go.
As for how to distribute the felt in the cellar, Heiyan decided to go back and discuss it with Chief Bangber.
And there is something that has been bothering them for a long time, and the problems are becoming more and more difficult to solve, so it is time for them to make a decision.
I didn't use any energy today as all the work was done by the tribesmen and the dwarves. Even after a day, Yu Sui was still full of energy.
The weather was extremely cold, and the pork he had gotten a few days ago hadn't gone bad after being left for a few days. Yu Sui had intended to use it to make sausages and bacon, but he forgot about it.
Remove the bones from the pork and cook a large pot of braised pork bones in a large iron pot. After the remaining meat is thawed, put it into a blender and grind it into minced meat.
The pig intestines brought back that day were also frozen hard, so Yu Sui put them in cold water to thaw them.
When making sausage filling, you need to pour strong liquor into it to prevent spoilage, and then add salt, Sichuan pepper powder and pepper powder.
Yu Sui likes spicy food, so he added chili powder to half of the meat filling, and finally added a little sugar to enhance the flavor, and stirred the meat filling and seasonings vigorously.
In the past, in order to avoid eating technology, cruel life and zombie meat, he learned how to make sausages on the Internet and even bought a sausage-making machine.
However, no machines are needed here. The pig intestines are like water pipes, and Yu Sui directly stuffs the meat filling into them with chopsticks.
A large iron pot full of stewed pork ribs exuded a rich aroma of sauce. Notting and his friends were afraid that they would not be full, so they grilled a large piece of monster meat themselves and asked Yu Sui for barbecue sauce to spread on it.
When he smelled the fragrance, he knew that his brother had prepared delicious food again. After playing in the snow for a day, Xiaochu ran home happily. He would not go to the cafeteria to eat because he had delicious food made by his brother.
The orc cubs were strong. Xiaochu played in the snow for a whole day. Although the fur on his body was cold, his belly was still warm, so he was not afraid of catching a cold at all.
Although Yu Sui is ten years older than Xiao Chu, his physical fitness is not as good as Xiao Chu's. The weather at night is even colder, and his hands become cold after being busy for a while.
Seeing Xiaochu running back, Yu Sui took him into his pocket and used him as a hand warmer to warm his hands before continuing to stuff the meat filling.
