Chapter 258 Su Bai: Playing with Dr. Zhao's Sanitary Pads
The two buffalo horns in Su Bai's hand were slightly bent backwards slightly, with little curvature.
In addition, this buffalo is a middle-aged male buffalo, and the toughness and rigidity of the cow's horns are excellent.
It is really a rare and good material for making ox horn bows in the wilderness.
Su Bai sat next to the fire, first boiled new fish maw glue into a small bamboo tube, and then explained to the camera:
"The ox horn bow uses the outside of the buffalo horn, which is combined with the wooden tire."
"The material of wood tires, mosaic bamboo is the best choice."
"The bow arm of this bow could not be reused on the horn bow before, and a wooden tire that matches the arc of the horn needs to be remade."
"but……"
Su Bai's face gradually became serious and he whispered:
"The biggest difficulty in making a horn bow in the wilderness is how to deal with the horns."
"Under normal circumstances, it is to use a lathe and a cutting machine to cut out the required parts."
"But in the wilderness, there are obviously no such tools."
Barrage:
【emmmmmm…】
【What to do?】
【Why don't you want to use a stone?
【Will it smash the horns?
Su Bai smiled and nodded:
"I can only use stones to smash it."
"But don't think about doing it overnight."
Su Bai said, lifting a buffalo horn and saying:
"The ox horn bow actually only needs to use the outermost layer of ox horn piece."
“The thickness required is not very large.”
"So, we used sharp stones to chisel the buffalo horns from the middle."
"Then slowly polish it bit by bit, grind away all the unnecessary parts, and finally only the two outermost horn pieces are left, so you can use it to make a horn bow."
Barrage:
【???
[You want to grind half of the horn into powder???]
[This horse-drawn work is too intense, right???]
Su Bai shrugged:
"This is the only way."
"It is impossible to accurately hit a horn by a stone, and it will definitely create many gaps and cracks near the point of the chisel."
"If you want to achieve it overnight, the final result can only be to destroy these two buffalo horns."
"So, the damage caused by chiseling can only be controlled in useless areas in the middle of the horns."
"Make sure the outer horn piece is not damaged."
"It will definitely be a lot of waste of time, but..."
Su Bai showed a confident smile at the camera and said:
"It's been raining these days, and the cold wave can't end for a while. There's so much time."
Barrage:
【…】
【It makes sense!】
[Other contestants are sleeping at home, and you rub your horns and hard bow at home!]
【Awesome!】
Su Bai lit two pieces of green charcoal, suspended the horns 30 cm above, and baked them.
"Before starting to process the horns, you need to bake them. The high temperature will make the horns softer as a whole, making them easier to process, and will not cause too many cracks and hidden injuries."
"If there is a cutting machine, this step is not needed."
"But to use a stone to hit it, the horns must be softened to a certain extent before they can be carried out."
"Otherwise, after a while, the horns might be broken from the middle..."
It took some time for two horns to bake, and Su Bai turned his head to look at Zhao Xinqing.
But she found her sitting beside her, carefully fiddling with the ball of wild cotton in her hand with the help of the fire light.
A pair of small hands cleverly pinched out all the cotton seeds in the wild cotton, leaving only the cotton fibers behind.
Su Bai naturally stretched out his hand, squeezed half of the wild cotton from Zhao Xinqing's hand that had not been processed, and said casually:
"I'll help you."
Zhao Xinqing was suddenly taken away by Su Bai and was stunned for a moment.
Immediately, her pretty face turned red, and she rushed over and snatched the wild cotton from Su Bai's hand back.
Looking at Su Bai's astonished and puzzled gaze, Zhao Xinqing stuttered:
"No...no..."
"I...I'll do it myself..."
"These fine work...you...you are not suitable for you, a big man..."
"Just make a horn bow..."
Su Bai: "???"
She was a little strange...
Just a ball of cotton...
Even if it is very important, it is not so nervous...
The barrage is also full of question marks:
【???
[Why is Dr. Zhao so blushing?]
[Su Bai did nothing to you, just a ball of cotton. Can you couple not even share cotton?]
The barrage was teasing himself, but a light of inspiration flashed in Su Bai's heart.
seem……
I know what Zhao Xinqing is going to make with cotton...
Su Bai hugged Zhao Xinqing's shoulder, put it in her ear, and laughed in a voice that only two people could hear:
"Sanitary napkin?"
Zhao Xinqing's face turned red suddenly, as if two balls of flames were burning and spread rapidly to the base of her neck.
In the wilderness, there are many ways to deal with menstruation.
The earliest menstrual treatment method in human society is papyrus from ancient Egypt.
Papyrus has strong water absorption. When placed underneath, it can effectively absorb menstrual blood and keep it dry.
But papyrus also has problems with papyrus:
Zhao Xinqing has never seen sedges these days.
Other plant fibers can also be used to make paper, but the water absorption effect may not be good.
In addition, the papermaking process is relatively cumbersome and may take several days.
The most important thing is that the papyrus is rough and it will basically not move after being padded, otherwise calluses will be ground out.
The biggest hidden danger is that papyrus cannot guarantee the cleaning properties.
After the paper is made, it is placed in a corner. Who knows what bacteria and viruses will fall on it, and it cannot even be disinfected.
Women who have menstrual periods have extremely weak resistance and may get sick.
With many concerns, Zhao Xinqing has never had the idea of making paper.
And when she saw the bunch of wild cotton today, she instantly realized:
This is an excellent blood-sucking material, no doubt about it.
So even if there was a possibility of being attacked by wild animals, Zhao Xinqing insisted on stopping there and picked wild cotton and came back.
"You...you..."
"You hate it so much..."
After Su Bai told her daughter's private affairs, Zhao Xinqing was so embarrassed that she bit her red lips lightly, and reached out to pinch Su Bai's soft flesh on her waist.
Su Bai was so painful that he took a breath of air conditioner, then giggled:
"Is this so annoying?"
"That……"
Su Bai smiled wickedly, reached out his hand, and gently pinched the wild cotton in Zhao Xinqing's hand.
It seemed as if he was not touching a ball of wild cotton, but something that was about to be protected by wild cotton.
He rubbed again: "What about this?"
Poke again: "What's that..."
Su Bai's tone was extremely ambiguous, and he looked at Zhao Xinqing's wide-eyed eyes and his pretty face as if they were struck by lightning. He couldn't help but feel even more interesting.
Feeling the warm breath of Su Bai spraying on his ears, Zhao Xinqing's delicate body, who was hugged by Su Bai, couldn't help but tremble...
