MTL - Be a Leader In a Primitive Tribe-Chapter 55
After returning to the tribe, Sang Yu asked the handicraft team to be divided into five people, and the two people who had previously arranged to make silk would process the hemp skins together.
This is the prototype of the garment workshop.
These people are not limited to female workers, as long as they are agile, both men and women can do it at this time.
Except for the division of labor between the two camps of hunting and gathering that has been formed before, other divisions of labor have not yet been formed, and she does not want to directly characterize the labor structure of these industries from the beginning.
Men can weave and tailor clothes with needles and threads, and women can build walls and buildings and go hunting.
It's a pity that the conditions in all aspects of the tribe are still in the initial stage, and there are relatively few meat and dairy products.
Yes, it is only given priority to children. If you want to further improve a woman's physical fitness, it will not be done overnight.
But even so, put this thing on the tribe's building priorities list.
In addition to physical quality, spiritual quality must also keep up, including ideals, beliefs, sense of responsibility and morality, and even self-confidence and dedication.
Education must be started as soon as possible. Thinking of this, Sang Yu felt that the burden on her shoulders was even heavier.
The hemp skins exchanged from the Black Mountain Tribe are neatly tied in every bundle, which is considered to be more careful.
Sang Yu is still very satisfied with such a partner.
However, if these collected hemp skins are to be made into clothes, they need to go through several procedures such as rinsing, hemp weaving, threading, twisting, sizing, and weaving, all of which are indispensable.
The first step is to rinse with water.
The Phoenix Tribe has diverted water down from the mountain, and there is also water in the river. This step is extremely simple.
Then there is the yarn, which is actually connecting the hemp fiber into a thread. The main method is to tear the rinsed hemp skin into strands and continue to soak in water. Soak until soft, then twist into small hemp yarns, and then dry these small hemp yarns.
After drying, these small hemp yarns are wound into balls.
When weaving, threads are divided into warp threads and weft threads.
This is also the case when spinning silk, the warp thread is wound into hemp balls, and the weft thread is wound into "spun silk".
But Sangyu’s biggest headache is the sizing process. Generally, hemp **** must be sizing before weaving to make the hemp thread flexible and smooth. In ancient times, people used thick rice milk for sizing, but now there is no rice. There is only millet. I don't know whether the porridge cooked with millet can be starched.
After the millet bought back from the trade fair last year was planted, the seeds were being cultivated in the past two seasons, and mass production has not yet been achieved. This year, only seven or eight baskets were harvested with great difficulty, and Sangyu was not willing to eat them.
But now take a small amount and try it out. If possible, there is no need to worry about this aspect in the future.
Unexpectedly, after boiling it with water, I found that this kind of millet is extremely sticky, which is the best material for sizing these hemp threads.
The twine is soaked in rice milk for one night to complete the sizing, and it can be dried in the sun.
The cost of millet for sizing thirty meters of linen was only two catties, which greatly relieved Sang Yu.
After sizing, the twine can be used for weaving after drying.
When dealing with silk, Sang Yu had asked Jiao to lead a handicraft team to conduct research with reference to the simple loom he made. Now an upgraded version has also been developed, which just comes in handy.
Looking forward to the stars and the moon, with the efforts of several people. Two months later, the tribe's first batch of sackcloth finally came out.
The sackcloth Sang Yu designed for everyone is a long gown that hangs down to the knees, tied with a rope around the waist, and the clothes can be worn on the body obediently, so that you don’t have to bother sewing pants.
After all, I don't have a sewing machine right now, so I can't do needlework well. As for the trousers, I'll talk about them later when I have time.
The first sackcloth produced by the tribe looked rather crude. Especially the place where the two cloths meet under the armpits on both sides is crooked.
The sleeves also look a little off in size.
But compared to the usual leaf skirts, I don't know how many times better.
And now in this kind of hot weather, approving a piece of animal skin can heat a person to death.
This short-sleeved sackcloth came just in time.
The first one was a test product, and the latter ones gradually improved.
And this precious sackcloth was also collected by Sang Yu, which became her first new clothes when she came to this world.
Compared with these modern clothes, it is quite prickly, but it is only for her.
The other tribesmen have rough skin and rough flesh, and this kind of sackcloth is already the best cloth they can touch.
The most important thing is that the sackcloth looks so good on his leader.
Sang Yu is tall and has fair skin. No matter how ugly clothes are worn on her, she will look upscale. This beige sackcloth makes her look a little more elegant, and others can't help but be moved , looking forward to being able to put on the sackcloth as soon as possible.
Now, in addition to the two people who made the silk clothes before, five more people have been added to make the clothes, so there are seven people in total in this small garment workshop.
Although there are not many people, there are only two hundred and sixty people in the tribe, which is more than enough.
However, in the future, these people will also be responsible for the production of other clothing, including shoes and socks, bedding, flags, and fishing nets and other cotton, linen and silk products. When they reach a certain level, they will also be required to dye clothes and fabrics. After working on a complete set of textile series, In fact, it is quite cumbersome, and there are many things to do.
From this point of view, there are only seven people, not many.
It is a pity that the needles used now are all bone needles. I do not know when iron products will be available. Only tools such as iron needles and scissors can be made to further improve work efficiency.
Not only the garment factory, but every other team needs more efficient tools in the production process, which makes Sangyu have more expectations for iron products.
Now clothes are being made one after another, but the quantity is still relatively small.
Sang Yu ordered that it be given to the women in the tribe first, and distributed in turn from the elders to the younger, and finally the men's turn.
Of course, if you want to popularize sackcloth, this cannot be solved in a short period of time.
But the tribe is getting better little by little.
Compared with other women, Yu was younger, and it was not her turn to take the sackcloth yet.
But her menarche also came quietly at this time.
Sang Yu taught her how to use the menstrual belt, and lent her the sackcloth he hadn't worn a few times to wear, feeling in his heart that the little girl he looked at every day was finally growing into a big girl .
Of course Yu knew what menarche meant.
In the Bird Tribe, when this thing came, it meant that she could form a pair with other men and become a husband and wife. In fact, she didn't want to form a pair. She didn't like any man at all.
Fortunately, since the woman in front of me became the leader, she gave orders and shed blood, it will take another four snow seasons before they can form a pair, which made the little girls of the tribe breathe a sigh of relief.
Of course, Sangyu couldn't allow early marriage and early childbearing on her site. These children were malnourished, married so quickly, and had no means of contraception. At that time, the children will be born one after another, which will hurt the body.
They themselves are still children, and they should not be troubled by childbirth at this age.
She didn't know how old these girls were, no one could remember the age of her niece like Xiang.
You can only default to menstruation at the age of fourteen, play for another four years, spend a carefree girlhood, and then consider love.
People have emotional needs, physical desires and needs, and Sang Yu herself has not thought about this aspect for the time being. But it will not prohibit the needs of others, and the tribe will grow stronger, and it is good to have more children.
Of course, if you don't want to have a baby, you will support it all at once.
There are many ways to increase the population. In this year's fair, there were also people selling slaves. It was just that Sang Yu considered that the two hundred and twenty people brought back from the Eagle Tribe would need to be consolidated for a while, so he gave up.
By next year, these people are almost mature and want to expand production. You can buy a batch of slaves back, circle another area on the periphery, transform the slaves into labor, and set an inspection period of two to three years. Walls can be built to reclaim wasteland without being integrated into the tribe.
After the inspection period is over, those who pass are eligible to enter the tribe and become a member of the group.
The population situation is no longer a burden, but Yu, Bai, Hong, including Yan's daughter Li, and Gao's daughter Sangjing, including hundreds of women in the tribe, do not need to sacrifice themselves for the sake of population.
Children should look like children, and play as they should.
What I can do is to create a better living environment for them.
Looking at the shy little girl in front of her, Sang Yu patted her head and said, "Be quiet these few days, you may feel a little uncomfortable in the first two days, but you will be fine in the next few days."
When Yu thought that he would come again soon, he felt uncomfortable.
But she is young, her body is good, and the tribal food is good now, and her nutrition has gradually caught up. At this time, she didn't feel any discomfort, but there are many things there, just uncomfortable.
I couldn't help but look sleepy on my face, a small face like a little bitter gourd, and I couldn't even stretch my brows.
With a smile on the corner of Sang Yu's mouth, he stretched out his hand and nodded between her eyebrows and said, "You're not even afraid of fighting, but you're afraid of this."
Yu then raised his head and said, "That's different."
Of course Sang Yu knew it was different, she was also a woman. But nature is so divided, and she can't help it.
"You... What about you, will you come too?"
Yu opened his mouth seemingly unintentionally, but his eyes were secretly aiming at her.
Sang Yu was stunned for a moment, she herself was abnormal, and she came and didn't come, which was very annoying.
But facing a little girl who was already bored enough at this time, of course she would not tell the truth, she just smiled and said, "Of course I am too."
Hearing her answer like this, Yu felt a little comforted in his heart.
Even the omnipotent leader will have troubles in this regard, so what does this matter to me.
Her eyes couldn't help but stick to the woman in front of her. The pants were the same color as the sky, and there was a lace top (lace trim), and the long hair was hanging down, making people unable to move their eyes away.
The top was short, which set off the bulge of the chest very beautifully.
Yu couldn't help but look down at his chest, which was still flat, and it was also a little swollen and sore recently. I don't know if it is about to start growing.
In the past, Yu didn't want her to grow too big in the future. In the past, many women in the tribe just opened up like this, and it didn't look good.
But looking at the posture of his leader at this time, Yu bit his lip, as if this look is not bad.
Especially when I taught her how to ride a horse—
Yu didn't know why, suddenly he couldn't sit still, and his back straightened instantly, and he always felt a soft touch in his mind, just squeezing his back like this.
Every time I see the leader, I always feel this way.
