While Su Nian and Uncle Liu were waiting for Captain Chen, they were not idle either. They took the small toys and polished them repeatedly to see where they were not finished and where there were any flaws.
Captain Chen ran to Uncle Niu's house and asked Uncle Niu to find a pair of scissors to shear the sheep.
"Captain Chen, it's not that hot yet, there's no need to shear the sheep!"
Uncle Niu was still wondering what was wrong with Captain Chen? He was actually worrying about shearing sheep.
"Cut! Uncle Niu, it needs to be cut! I'm useful!" Captain Chen said anxiously.
"It works? With wool?" Uncle Niu suspected that he had heard it wrong and couldn't help but repeat it again.
"Yes! Use wool! By the way! Uncle Niu, it won't hurt the sheep if we shear the wool now, right?" Captain Chen asked again.
"That's okay. The weather is getting hotter. The sheep are in the house at night, covered with thick straw, so they're not cold. But you can't shave them off!"
"That's fine! Go ahead and shear it!" Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the sheep, Captain Chen asked Uncle Niu to shear the wool.
Uncle Niu saw that Captain Chen really wanted the wool, so he went into the house and took out a pair of scissors.
"Captain Chen, what do you want this wool for?"
"Get the brush!"
"brush?"
"Brush the furniture and toys!"
"Does Lao Liu need it?"
"Yeah!" Captain Chen stared at Uncle Niu seriously and tried to get the wool out of him, so answering the question became easy for him.
When Uncle Niu heard that the wool was for collective use in the village, he stopped asking and skillfully cut a circle of wool, thinking to himself, how can I make a brush with this wool?
After shearing the wool, Captain Chen took off his coat, not caring about the smell, wrapped the wool in his arms and ran away.
After Captain Chen came back, Su Nian taught Uncle Liu and Captain Chen how to cut the wool, clean the wool, soften the wool, and dry the wool. All of this was done by hand. It took a whole day, and by dark, the wool brush was still not made.
When Su Nian wanted to make a wool brush, she didn't realize that processing wool was a huge project. Moreover, the materials available now were so simple and crude that it was simply too difficult.
"Uncle Liu, it looks like we can't make this brush today! Let's continue tomorrow!"
"Okay, the wool is almost dry. Just tell me what to do tomorrow!" Uncle Liu was so happy when he saw the dirty and smelly wool, which had been tossed around by them all day and turned into spotless white wool.
Captain Chen also expressed great admiration, saying that educated youth were different and knew everything. He always felt that he was participating in some big project and that these were all valuable experiences.
A night later, when I reported to Uncle Liu's yard, Captain Chen and Uncle Liu were already waiting there.
"Uncle Liu, the weather is nice today. Let's take out the wool and continue to dry it. Let's pick out all the impurities inside!"
"Okay! We'll do as you say!" Uncle Liu and Captain Chen were both very active and took out the wool to dry again.
At the same time, when learning from Su Nian, you need to eliminate some impurities.
As for these production steps, Su Nian asked Tugoubei to buy tutorials from the space mall and did them step by step.
It seems so simple when written, but it is actually a big project to do.
After all the wool has been processed, the last step is to straighten it.
"Uncle Liu, how do I iron the wool straight?" Su Nian thought about the current technology and felt that it was really a difficult problem.
Today's soldering irons are manual, and if you're not careful you'll easily burn the wool.
"Use a soldering iron!" Captain Chen blurted out.
"Won't the soldering iron burn the wool? I don't have such good skills!" Su Nian was anxious because he knew he was not good at doing such delicate work.
"We have to find Fourth Auntie! She was a tailor in her early years! Her skills are top-notch!" Captain Chen said as his legs and feet became uncontrollable and he walked out.
Su Nian finally understood. Fourth Aunt was always there for her. This Fourth Aunt was as influential as Fourth Uncle. She was one of the most powerful aunts in the village. There were really hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the village.
Captain Chen ran to the fourth aunt's house, asked the fourth aunt to take her branding iron, and dragged the fourth aunt out.
"Captain Chen, even if you asked me to help you iron your clothes, you wouldn't be so anxious! Can your clothes still be stolen?"
"You'll know when you get there!"
Captain Chen kept his mouth shut and didn't say what he was doing along the way.
Arriving at Uncle Liu's yard, Captain Chen pointed to the pile of wool in the basket and said, "Fourth Aunt, your task today is to iron all this wool straight!"
"Ah!!" Aunt Si was holding the branding iron in her hand, looking at the pile of wool, her mouth wide open in shock. That mouth was big enough to hold a duck egg.
"Hahaha!" Su Nian couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw this funny scene.
The local dog Bei, who had come to watch the fun at some point, was also happily rolling around in the yard.
Uncle Liu and Captain Chen couldn't help laughing at Fourth Auntie.
"Captain Chen, are you trying to fool me? How can this be so smooth? It's going to get messed up!"
"Hey, sister-in-law, this is a test of your skills. Once you're done, I'll give you work points! Now it's four work points, and if you can succeed, you'll get full work points in the future!" Captain Chen said proudly.
"Really? You can get work points if you finish it?" When the fourth aunt heard that there were work points, her eyes lit up.
"real!"
"You're not helping me this time, are you?"
"It's definitely not a favor! It's about earning work points!"
"Alright! Then just wait and see! Lao Liu, go get a basin of water!"
"Okay!" Uncle Liu immediately walked into the house with a smile, brought out a basin, filled a basin with water from the water tank and brought it over.
It turns out that Fourth Aunt is indeed a competent tailor. After a puff of steam, the smooth and straight wool appeared under her iron.
