Chapter 94: spindle

Collecting tree slivers is done by minors in the tribe, because the tree slivers are thinner and the winter is more brittle, they are fully capable of doing this.
Of course, when doing this, the people of the Qingque tribe did not relax their defenses. There are always people who are responsible for standing guard behind the three walls. Once there is an enemy, they will warn them as soon as possible.
As for the weaving of the fence, under Han Cheng's arrangement, the first skillful craftsman in the tribe, Limp, would take the lead.
The other two people who are not very good and often do handicrafts follow the lame and learn while doing it.
When the rafters were all fixed, they had already woven six large bundles of fences.
In fact, in later generations, because the thin wooden strips are not easy to find, most of the weaving of the fences are made of hemp, mulberry or reed poles as raw materials.
Now that Han Cheng is in a primitive society, the most important thing is tree slivers. Naturally, tree slivers, which are more durable materials, are used.
Of course, even if he wants to use hemp and sorghum stalk (sorghum stalk, where we call sorghum is called sorghum and corn is called maize), he still can't find them.
Weaving fences have a very large demand for ropes. Even if the two prisoners with injured legs are added, the rope they rubbed cannot be used by the lame, so that they are tired for most of the day. Need to twist the rope.
Han Cheng was also helpless when the tribe was embarrassed by the small rope. It was only after he remembered the things his mother used to make cloth shoes and cover pots when he remembered that his mother ‘closed the rope’ when he was a child.
This requires the help of a small tool. This tool is called "Spindle Top" in Han Cheng's hometown, and its scientific name is called Spindle.
The wire top is very easy to make. The wire top in Han Cheng's memory has a bottom diameter of about three centimeters and a height of three centimeters. It is similar to a cone, and is similar in shape to Wowotou.
In the middle of this cone, there is a hole through up and down, and the hole is used to pass the wooden stick.
When twisting the rope with the thread top, first tie one end of the thread to the wooden stick, and then hold the thread in one hand and the thread top in the other, and quickly twist the handle on the thread top on the leg. Then vacant.
Driven by the inertia, the wire top suspended by the wire will spin quickly.
In this way, the thread tied to the top will be turned around together, "Shang Jin" is very fast (I really can’t remember the written language, so I had to use our words instead)
The ‘jingzi’ of ‘shanghaojin’ is wrapped around the wooden handle of the spinning top. Tie it a little to make sure that the ‘jingzi’ of ‘shanghaojin’ will not loosen, repeat the previous action again.
After thinking of this incident, Han Cheng asked the black baby who likes to make pottery to dig some clay outside, use hot water and mud, and then start making spinning tops.
Compared with the bowls, basins, pots and other things made before, the manufacturing of the wire top is too simple.
Turn the live mud into a cone shape, and then use a half-centimeter diameter tree stick to poke a hole straight up and down from the tip of the cone. This thing is even set.
Then it is dried by the fire in the cave that has been burning for many years, then thrown into the fire and burned for four to five hours, and it is done without even opening the kiln.
Heiwa was also quite distressed about rubbing the rope at night, because it greatly affected the time he had fun with Zhuang at night.
Heiwa, who had become the first person to make pottery in the Qingque tribe, immediately became excited after hearing that Shenzi was going to make a tool to improve the efficiency of rope rubbing, and that this tool was made by Tao.
He is going to do a big job, wanting to show the pottery skills he has trained hard to everyone in the tribe, especially the gods.
however……
However, the tool that the son of God said is such a crude and outrageous thing!
This makes him quite depressed, where is the skill needed to make this thing? Can some dolls in the tribe be made?
Heiwa was born in primitive times and has never seen "Charlotte's Troubles". If he had read it, he must have understood the mood of the taxi driver inside.
Simple is simple, but after this thing is put on a tree stick, it is surprisingly easy to use to rub the rope.
After learning to use this thing, people who often rub the rope immediately liked this useful tool.
Even the previously depressed Heiwa liked it.
Because with the use of the new tools invented and manufactured by Shenzi, the efficiency of twisting the rope has been greatly improved. He no longer needs to do the rope twisting at night, which allows him to have enough time to stay warm.
With this one, it would be weird if he didn't like this thread top.
Of course, the "jingzi" twisted by this thread top is not a rope. To become a rope, another process is needed. That is to untie the ``jingzi'' wound on the wooden handle of the thread top in a circle, and then untie the two ends. Align and merge, and loosen the handle after straightening, the'jin' on the'jingzi' will make them entangle with each other and become a rope.
Generally, the greater the strength on the ‘jingzi’, the stronger and stronger the rope will be.
However, when weaving the fence, you can directly use the "jingzi", which saves a procedure and can save half of the rope and grass.
The three female captives who had always been curious about Han Cheng, after witnessing the incident with their own eyes, finally understood why this son of God was obviously only a young child, but could have such a high status in the tribe.
Such people can also be respected if they are in their original tribe.
This child is the smartest person they have ever seen! The wise man in their original tribe, the witch, was far inferior to this child.
After the grids are completed, what is needed next is to spread these grids on the roof that already has a skeleton, and then fix them.
The specific requirement is to cover the entire roof with one layer.
After this is done, the next thing you need to do is to mix the mud. After the mud is reconciled, spread a flat layer on the fence. After this procedure, cover it with a layer of slim and firm grass, the roof This can be considered as a sinking bottom.
Of course, this kind of grass is superior in terms of its stalks being shiny and slim.
The straw is shiny and can withstand the wind and sun and rain.
Slim and slender, it is better to pave the roof, and because the grass is dense, it has strong rain resistance.
As for why it is necessary to lay a layer of mud on the fence and then lay the grass~EbookFREE.me~ this is also a good explanation.
First of all, this layer of mud can connect the grids on the entire roof into a whole, increase the thickness of the roof and make it firm, so that the roof will not be lifted by a gust of wind.
Secondly, there is such a layer of soil on the roof, even if the grass roof is covered on it, where there is rain leakage, it can slow down the speed of rainwater entering the house.
Once again, such a layer of mud can reduce the possibility of the grid being eaten by insects and extend the life of the roof.
Also, it acts as an adhesive between the fence and the grass at the end.
After thousands of years of precipitation, many ancient things, every step has its truth, such as the roof of this thatched house.
Han Cheng is now very fortunate that he was born. If he was born in a reinforced concrete forest in his previous life, apart from the rest, just building a house would have to take a lot of detours, and it would be impossible to achieve it in one step.
