Chapter 469 Spinning Thread
Chapter 470 Spinning Thread
Filling the ink is very simple. To loosen a ball of hemp, use the soot collected from the chimney of the bamboo tube of the dragon kiln on the beach, mix it with coconut oil, wrap it full with hemp, and put it in the bamboo tube.

Next start making the spindle.

Take the small pottery mud muddy water cake that was fired in the morning, scrape out a square bamboo stick, put the pottery hammer on it, make a slit at the bottom of the bamboo stick, stick a rope into the slit, press it to the bottom of the guide wheel, Wrap it around a few times, and get stuck in the seam again, and the pottery wheel is fixed. Then, scrape the other end of the square stick round and sharp, and cut a barb on the upper end with a knife.

The spindle is ready, twist a thin hemp thread on the barb of the spindle with some moist hemp fiber first, pick up the spindle and rub the hammer rod, the spindle will rotate quickly, driving the hemp fiber on it Get entangled.

A length of fine twine for quick prototyping.

Wind this piece of fine hemp thread around the square rod above the pottery hammer, and then get the end of the thread stuck in the barb, and continue to rotate the pottery wheel to get another piece of hemp thread.

Repeat this action, and there are more and more hemp threads on the square rod. When this section of hemp fiber is about to be used up, take out a new section of hemp fiber and pinch it with the fluffy old thread end to continue rotating. The joints of the fibers at both ends are twisted. At one point, the twine continued.

Repeat the operation in this way, and soon a ball of thread is obtained.

After drying the numbness, Ayin came over to take a look, and said with a smile, "Huh? Erpi can still live with women!"

Li Junge said with a smile: "When I was a child, I saw my grandma use this to make the soles of shoes, and I knew it all."

Ayin smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I played this game, let me play for a while."

Li Junge untied the hemp rope at the bottom of the spinning wheel, took off the pottery wheel, wiped out the ball of thread from the bottom, and returned the pottery wheel to its original shape and handed it to A Yin: "Come on, let's play, and I'll put the ink fountain back on."

Find a thin bamboo stick and put the ball of thread on it, find the end of the thread, put it in your mouth to wet it, and rub the tip out. The bamboo stick presses down the lint in the ink fountain, and passes the thread end through the two holes of the ink fountain. past.

Fasten the end of the thread to the handle of the ink fountain, turn the handle, and the thread ball on the bamboo stick is received on the rotating rod of the ink fountain.

Seeing that the thread was about to be collected, Li Junge straightened the last section of thread at the front, tied a bamboo nail, and continued to draw the rope. The bamboo nail was stuck on the outlet hole of the ink fountain, and the ink fountain was ready.

After washing his hands and returning, A Yin had already twisted out a small ball of twine, and the two of them went to rest after a while.

That night, on the show.

Bell: "Unfortunately, on the ninth day of the show, we finally had the first team to withdraw."

Lune: "Yes, the British team. Due to the lack of fire and improper drinking, Isabella contracted severe diarrhea and was severely dehydrated. The game was forced to be interrupted."

Nian: "It is indeed very regrettable. This incident seems to remind us that nature is not necessarily as beautiful as we imagined, and crises are everywhere."

Bell: "Now I am a little worried about the French team, because of all the remaining teams, only the French team has not been fired."

Lu En: "But I think they seem to be very optimistic, and God is always on their side, which is a typical example of getting something for nothing."

Nian: "Hahaha, it seems that luck is also a kind of talent, which is best reflected in the French team, but Henry finally did a little work today, he made a slingshot out of condoms, the power... Uh...it didn't work."

Bell: "The spirit of the American team is very commendable. Starting from their perseverance in making a fire, their luck seems to be improving; after discovering cassava, they found the correct way of cooking, the method of burying and roasting; plus they Drinking only boiled water so they are very healthy now. Both siblings seem to be relaxed, but hopefully they will use the next time to strengthen the shelter and find a way to protect the dry wood and kindling."

Luen: "It's almost impossible to not have rain in Thailand for fifty days this season. Nian, are you right?"

Nian: "Uh, yes, it's actually a miracle that it hasn't rained yet. The heavy rain will return sooner or later, and it will never continue to be sunny."

Bell: "If this is the case, many teams are not prepared for the heavy rain. The only ones who have taken action are probably the two bamboo hats of the Chinese team."

Lu En: "The Chinese team has just ushered in a big harvest, tools, food, Ingris even made a beautiful and fragrant coconut soap, oh, I really like this girl, she always gives people a strong impression inadvertently surprise."

Nian: "Yes, I also like her very much. She has accomplished quite a few things, but we are overwhelmed by Jungle's various weird skills and ignore her."

Bell: "Well, it seems that everyone has the same opinion about Ingris. If Jungle is an excellent planner and creator, Ingris is a perfect executor. When in the army, every team hopes to get such a person , can always complete the work of his own duties excellently, and can continue to surprise people."

Luen: "In fact, there is another point that we may have overlooked, that is, the exploration of the island. The Russian team took the lead, but they were driven back by the ruthless nature; followed by the South African team, Tanya's wild survival skills It helped them a lot; finally, the Argentine team, as expected, they are no longer satisfied with cassava, they start making wooden spears, and it seems that they are going to start a hunting life.”

Bell: "Speaking of cassava, I'm curious. Jungle once again showed his magic, turning a small knife into a planer. It's extremely efficient for peeling cassava. Damn, I mentioned it again The word efficiency!"

Lu En: "However, they are very cautious in handling cassava. It seems that they are not familiar with this plant. Nian, is the cassava in your country really poisonous?"

Nian: "The toxicity of cassava does exist, but it is no problem to completely scrape off all the skins, soak it for two hours, and then cook it completely. I think the Chinese team's approach is a bit too cautious."

Bell: "No, no, no, I think the Chinese team's approach is the most correct. As I said before, Jungle is a person who likes to rule out all possible accidents. We can fully see his character in this matter. In this way People who are in the jungle are much safer than others. I think that's why he's been slow to explore the jungle, he doesn't think he's ready yet."

Luen: "Do they still need to explore the jungle? I can't imagine what else they need. They are living in the suburbs of the city, er, except that the living conditions are slightly worse..."

Nian: "Yes, their big bowl of fish soup today... is definitely at the level of a star chef. If Tom Yum Kung Soup appears on their table one day, I won't be a little surprised..."

Lun: "Well, to sum up, the British team, quit; the Russian team, the French team, have not yet entered the safe zone; the cassava of the American and Argentine teams, the bow and arrow of the Australian team, and the field survival skills of the South African team, these bonuses , made them enter the safe zone; the Chinese team... er, the first big magic of Jungle and Ingris, let them get syrup, coconut, grease, knives, drills, chisels, salt, soap, Glauber's salt, baking soda, lime …Today they found cassava and spun thread, and Jungle made a storage rack, a wacky ink cartridge, and an even wackier jar! Seems like a prelude to another big magic, well, Let's continue to look forward to..."

……

Early the next morning, when Ah Yin woke up, there was nothing around her.

When he walked out of the room, he saw Li Junge cooking porridge with a long-handled bamboo shovel.

Ayin walked over and took a look: "Hey! Have you boiled the cassava?"

Li Junge said: "This is for myself. I have eaten it, no problem. It will be your turn tomorrow. Today you still eat grilled fish."

After finishing speaking, he pointed at the plate on the bamboo table with the bamboo spoon: "Here, there! After eating, let's pick the hemp and cook the hemp. By the way, we will open the lacquer tree and collect some raw lacquer. The two of us used yesterday's lacquer for spinning today. line."

Ayin said: "I can spin the thread by myself."

Li Junge said with a smile: "I made a tool that can be spun quickly."

After eating, Li Junge set the kimchi jar on fire.Only one can be fired, because the waist diameter of the kimchi jar is [-] centimeters, which is not much smaller than the inner diameter of the pottery kiln.

After adding enough charcoal, Ayin went to the lake to wash and beat hemp, and Li Junge went to the forest to find lacquer trees and cut lacquer.

When you come to the big lacquer tree, use a knife to cut a V-shaped opening. The opening is only half of the trunk and will not affect the life of the tree.

A small bamboo needle is inserted at the bottom of the opening, and a bamboo tube with an oblique opening is tied under the needle, and the white tree pulp flows into the small bamboo tube along the needle.

A tree cannot exceed ten knives. These lacquer trees are quite large, with a diameter of more than [-] centimeters. Li Junge has eight V-shaped openings on each tree.

There are about ten lacquer trees in this forest. Li Junge followed suit and started collecting raw lacquer.

It's a slow job to pay a thousand dollars and a catty of paint, and I have to ask A Yin to scrape these V-shaped cuts again when I pass by here every day.

Including the time I came to collect the paint at night, it costs 240 dollars a day, and I can only get a catty in five days.

Then go back to find Ayin, and we will deal with the hemp skin together, and come back with water and hemp.

After the hemp bundles were boiled in a pot, Li Junge first made a bamboo nail board for combing the hemp.

Then another tool was taken, which was a cross with a height of one person. There was a hole at the top of the cross, and a thin-hole bamboo tube was worn, which could rotate freely on the cross.

At the back of the cross, a wooden stopper is inserted at the bottom of the bamboo tube. The wooden stopper and the bamboo tube are firmly glued and cut into a square.

The cork is stuck on the center of a round wooden disc, and the round wooden disc is glued together by three thin discs, the middle one is small, and the two sides are large, so that a groove is formed in the middle of the disc.

There is also a short wooden rod nailed to the side of the disc, which is longer than the width of the palm. From the perspective of the overall composition, this is a rocking wheel.

There is also a piece of bamboo pipe between the rocking wheel and the cross, and a small hole is drilled near the cross.

Ayin's eyes widened: "You make it so complicated when rubbing the root thread?"

Li Junge smiled and said, "It's not just for twisting thread, it's also for making rope."

Just do what you say, and bring a basket of hemp fibers that have been hammered and dried yesterday. A Yin first twisted a section of rope by hand, and said to Li Junge: "What should I do next?"

Li Junge wrapped the hemp thread on the bamboo tube in front of the cross, bent the thin bamboo thread, inserted the bent end into the bamboo tube, passed the thread through the hole in the front of the bamboo tube, pulled the bamboo thread again, and the thread ended was pulled out from the bamboo tube.

Li Junge smiled and said: "Now you are in charge of continuing the anesthesia, controlling the tightness, and holding the thread so that it does not get pimples. I will take care of turning the plate."
