Chapter 1173 The witch who blames herself (two in one)(1/2)
Among the Qingque Lord tribe, Han Cheng looked at the linen soaked in tung oil and then dried in the sun, with a smile on his face.
At this time, the linen became much thicker, and under the sunlight, it actually had a slightly glowing appearance.
Han Cheng picked it up and looked at it for a while, then took a corner of the cloth and dipped it in the water.
Unlike soaking ordinary linen, soaking this kind of linen soaked in tung oil has much greater resistance.
Han Cheng pressed it into the water and soaked it for about two minutes before taking it out.
Then, a miracle happened.
The cloth he took out was not like ordinary linen cloth, which had been soaked in water and looked very heavy.
But after taking it out, a lot of water drops fell down.
With another slight shake like this, the water droplets stuck on it and refusing to fall off will all fall down one after another.
Such a magical scene made the two people standing by the side widen their eyes.
How did this linen cloth become like this after adding tung oil?
This is really surprising!
"Come on, please stretch out these cloths here."
After Han Cheng stood here and watched for a while, he smiled and said to the two people next to him.
Following Han Cheng's instructions, the two immediately took action and immediately completed the work according to Han Cheng's requirements.
The two people holding the cloth with their hands turned to look at Han Cheng, waiting for Han Cheng's next move.
They didn't know what the Son of God was going to do next.
It is also because of this that my heart is full of expectations.
Han Cheng bent down and scooped up a ladle of water from the basin, pouring it directly onto the linen cloth held up by the two men.
The two people who started working with Han Cheng were confused about this.
Wu, who heard the news and rushed over to watch the excitement, expressed his confusion.
They didn't understand at all why the god son of their tribe did this.
This is water, not soy milk ground with a small flower mill. It needs to be filtered in this way to get out the bean dregs...
The three of them were thinking strangely in their hearts, but no one said a word. They just watched quietly to see what the Son of God could make through this method.
I didn't find any difference. Water is still water, cloth is still cloth, and there is no change due to this...
"Look! The water is not leaking!"
A man pulling the linen suddenly shouted in surprise.
After being reminded like this, Wu and the other person who was wondering immediately reacted.
They quickly shifted their gaze to the bottom of the cloth they were holding and looked there.
Sure enough, there was no wet scene on the ground under the cloth.
There was water on the cloth, and the amount of water that the Son of God poured on it is still there now.
Such a magical scene made several people's eyes widen involuntarily.
Among the things they had come into contact with before, linen was absolutely impervious to water. As long as water fell on it, it would be wetted immediately.
Not to mention using a cloth to hold the water like now to prevent it from dripping down!
This is really amazing!
Han Cheng looked at the effect, then looked at the expressions of the people around him, and couldn't help but smile.
"Son of God! It would be great if we could use this kind of cloth to make bamboo hats and coir raincoats!"
Wear it when it rains. No matter how hard it rains, you don’t have to worry about getting wet!”
Wu suddenly shouted like this, with a look of excitement on his face.
Han Cheng, who was secretly happy there, couldn't help being stunned after hearing Wu's words, and then reached out and patted his forehead hard.
I was only thinking about using this kind of cloth to make a sail, but I forgot about making rain gear!
What Wu said was absolutely correct. This cloth is very suitable for making rain gear because it can block water like this.
It seems that before plastic cloth and various water-proof industrial cloths were introduced to the country where Han Cheng lived in later generations, people used this kind of cloth soaked in tung oil to make rain gear.
He seemed to have seen this kind of umbrella when he was a child, and had a vague impression of it.
Whether he saw it when he went to the market with the adults when he was a child, or when he saw the temple fair in the village, Han Cheng could no longer tell.
But I can still remember the umbrella and the scene under it.
It was a day with light rain falling from the sky.
A large umbrella made of bamboo as thick as an adult's arm was fixed there.
The big bamboo umbrella is very large and can cover a large area when opened.
It's just that unlike the umbrellas produced later after the industry developed, these umbrellas are not round.
But it's elongated.
There are very few ribs, and in my impression there are only four.
Even if there are more than this, it will not exceed six.
The raincloth on the big umbrella is white.
But this kind of whiteness is not pure at all.
Due to the age and smog, the cloth that was originally supposed to be white has now basically turned into different shades of yellow.
Even some places have turned brown.
But even if it is like this, it still stands strong here, protecting the people under it from wind and rain.
There is a burning boiler under the umbrella, and two old couples over fifty are running a bun shop.
The buns are not steamed, but fried.
The large pan used to make Kang Shui Jianbao is covered with a lid, and steam is constantly rising.
There was a skewer made of woven bamboo on the side, and inside it were some steaming, golden pan-fried buns that were fried on one side.
Next to the fried buns, there is a thickly wrapped bucket, which contains the whole tofu brain.
On the simple table set up, several people were eating fried dumplings, scooping up tofu puffs and taking a few sips from time to time.
From time to time, raindrops would collect and drip down along the umbrella ribs.
Make small potholes one by one...
Because of his young age, most of Han Cheng's attention at that time was on the fried golden fried buns and the tofu patties filled with sugar that were as smooth as white jade, so he remembered these very clearly.
It's a big umbrella that looks very old-fashioned, but it doesn't make a very deep impression.
yes!
Now that I have this thing that can be called a rain cloth, I can also let the people in the tribe use it to make some rain gear!
You can't always think about making it into a sail.
Han Cheng couldn't say he disliked the bamboo hats and raincoats in the tribe, but he had already stopped wanting to wear them.
These two things look indeed very simple and primitive, very in line with the era Han Cheng lives in now.
But these two things are too bulky. They look heavy when worn on the body and don't feel very good.
Of course, among the entire tribe, he was probably the only one who felt that these two items were cumbersome and difficult to use, as he came from later generations and experienced umbrellas and all kinds of light raincoats.
In the past, because there were no good waterproof materials in the tribe, and bamboo hats and coir raincoats could be used just fine, Han Cheng didn't think too much about this aspect.
At this time, looking at the newly made raincloth in front of him, and hearing what the witch next to him said, Han Cheng suddenly felt a light flash in his heart.
They have just started trying to build a sailboat. They don't know how long it will take before their tribe's sailboat is ready.
In other words, the cloths that were obtained and used as sails would not be used in a short period of time.
Then it would be better to take advantage of this time and let the craftsmen in the tribe try to use this kind of cloth to make umbrellas, raincoats and other lightweight rain gear!
"Wu Wu, you are absolutely right. This kind of fabric is so good at spreading water and waterproofing. It can indeed be used to make rain gear!"
Han Cheng smiled and said to Wu with great affirmation.
After Wu heard what Han Cheng said, he was a little stunned for a while.
I just said this casually, why did the Son of God become serious?
Moreover, the cloth itself is relatively precious, and because these cloths are soaked in precious tung oil, they become even more precious.
Using such precious things to make rain gear is really a bit too extravagant.
Looking at the Son of God who was looking at him with a smile on his face and looking at him with approval, Wu only felt that his head was a little big, as if he had made a big mistake unintentionally.
Son of God, don’t get me wrong, I just said this a little bit, and I didn’t really mean to use such a precious thing as rain gear!
