15, shoes
"Do you need to use mud to make shoes?" Han Xuening is familiar with mud. At some point, mosquitoes in the tribe are very flooded. In order to prevent mosquito bites, they usually wrap mud around them to resist mosquito bites.
This little method originates from the inheritance of the older generation!
However, the mud in Zhao Yunxiang's hand was not applied to his body, but a model!
Because there are no tools, Zhao Yunxiang has basically no foundation in making shoes!
He likes to challenge the impossible. He creates tools without tools. Human beings are on the top of everything because they are cleverly using nature.
The roots of our daily necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation all come from nature. The magical nature has various shapes and shapes, and everything can be used depends on how you use it.
Zhao Yunxiang skillfully played with the yellow mud in his hand. As a rural child, he grew up playing with mud since childhood, and made a long oval with mud in just a few strokes.
"Put your feet!" Zhao Yunxiang put the mud on the leaves and signaled that Han Xuening would put his feet on it.
"???" Although Han Xuening was puzzled, she still did the same. After all, this man was the person she respected the most. He was the god who made flames and various gadgets!
After Han Xuening put his feet on, Zhao Yunxiang immediately drew an outline picture on the mud with a sharpened wooden stick along her feet.
"It's OK!"
After drawing the outline of the foot, Zhao Yunxiang expanded 1 cm along the outline again, and then began to dig down the expanded outline on the mud.
He dug about 1 cm deep, and a sole appeared on the mud. In order to prevent slippage, he also specially used small wooden strips to draw some lines to increase friction.
Our soles are covered with regular and beautiful stripes. This design is not only for good looks, but also for increasing friction. After all, it is easy to slip when wearing shoes that are too slippery.
Make two molds for Han Xuening, one with the left foot and the other with the right foot, and then place the mold around the fire and slowly let it dry.
The hardness of dry soil will increase, so the mold of this sole can be used several times.
After a brief baking, the mold of the two shoes had dried up and the fired soil was still very hot. I picked it out with a wooden stick and placed it on the ground, and then poured the new rubber mixed with rubber and charcoal into the mold.
The temperature of the soil mold is softening the rubber so that it can be further filled to every corner of the model, which is more conducive to the forming of the sole.
While the soles slowly cooled down, Zhao Yunxiang made two soles models for himself, poured the rubber into it, and then gave Han Xuening another task.
"This vine is washed with sea water at the beach and spread it with stones. I just want this white thin thread, the longer the better!" Zhao Yunxiang held several thin threads in his hand. These thin threads are vine fibers, which are extremely tough after soaking in water.
"Okay!" Han Xuening took the vines to the beach and started making them!
Zhao Yunxiang came to the woods with a relatively satisfied stone spear head and used the wavy blade on one side of the stone spear to cut the bark.
An unknown tree had a flat bark and a thickness of about 3 mm. Zhao Yunxiang cut a very large piece, and he completely ignored the life and death of the tree.
After taking the bark, place it on the fire to roast it. The bark will become hard after it is roasted on the fire and look like cardboard.
After more than ten minutes...
Han Xuening completed the work of vine making threads. Zhao Yunxiang took out the rubber sole from the mold. The warm rubber sole was basically formed, and it looked a little irregular, but it also looked a little bit.
The warm rubber gradually hardens under the action of cold sea water!
"It's OK!"
Everything is ready, Zhao Yunxiang put all the tools in place!
The rubber sole is added with bark, and the bark is cut with stone pieces according to the size of the sole. At the same time, the guinea pig's fur is cut open, and the three start sewing together.
The bone needle is sharp, thick and powerful, but it is indeed difficult to penetrate rubber, bark, and guinea pig fur at the same time. Moreover, the rough vine fibers have a great friction and are not easy to penetrate rubber.
However, all this is not a problem for Zhao Yunxiang. He has been prepared for a long time. Today's guinea pig meat extracts a lot of animal fat, and the bone needles and vines are covered with grease, which can reduce friction.
After more than half an hour, two pairs of shoes were finished!
Shoes are the kind of laces. The laces are made of ropes woven by vines, and the lace holes are burned with small wooden sticks that are lit on fire. The flames can easily burn through the animal's fur and form a coking circle.
"Is this the shoes?"
Han Xuening watched Zhao Yunxiang skillfully put on his shoes and tied his shoelaces, and he was shocked.
Is this foot sole too well protected?
Zhao Yunxiang tested the shoes and felt that there was something that was not satisfied with.
There are many thread tips under the sole of the shoe, so it won’t take long to get rid of the thread tips. Therefore, Zhao Yunxiang, who pursues perfection, puts rubber shoes on the fire and evenly coats the sole mold with thin rubber.
Wait for the rubber to become soft, then fuse the thin rubber in the prepared shoes and mold together.
In this way, the sole is increased by 2 mm, and the original sewing thread head of the sole is protected by a layer of rubber, so that the shoe will not be disintegrated due to excessive friction.
In fact, it is best to use glue to connect the soles of the shoe. He does not have this thing for the time being, so he can only search slowly.
Two pairs of shoes were finished. It seemed that Han Xuening was wearing shoes for the first time. She washed her scarred feet by the beach and put on gray shoes. After all, this was made of guinea pig fur, which was gray-black.
“Is this the shoes?”
Han Xuening walked on the land with her shoes. Primitive people may be a little uncomfortable when they first wear shoes. They have been barefoot since they were born and have long been used to being stabbed by sharp thorns on their feet.
Zhao Yunxiang dared not not wear shoes because there are everything in the forest, and the big centipede I saw during the day is still vivid in my mind.
If you accidentally step on the centipede with barefoot, then Brother Xiang will definitely be disgusting, but when wearing shoes, he will crush the centipede!
"Shoes are better!" Zhao Yunxiang was quite satisfied with the shoes he made. The soft rubber and the solid support of the middle bark made him feel very comfortable to walk.
"Oh, by the way, Simba!" Zhao Yunxiang seemed to have forgotten one thing, "The pig you killed just now hasn't brought back yet!"
Simba was looking up at the wild cat in the tree. Because the wild cat had no way to escape, he could only lie on the tree and squint his eyes and doze.
“Ho huh??”
Simba also felt that he had to bring the pig back. His owner seemed to like eating pork very much. Anyway, it was a wild boar worth more than 300 kilograms!
...
When they came to the woods with Simba again, they saw something eating a flower pig from a distance. Zhao Yunxiang narrowed his eyes and looked at it, "I don't want the pig! Let's go back, that guy... we can't afford to mess with him!"
"Ho huh..."
