I'm not a wild eater

"When it was just finished, it looked like a little girl's hair, soft and full of luster. After drying, it became severely damaged hair after excessive dyeing and perming."

Pinch the plantain fibers together and rub them with your hands.

"It's okay, it just looks frizzy, but it's still very soft to the touch."

"Perfectly capable, a pillowcase material that requires intimate contact with the face."

Some big stones were moved over, formed a circle, and another big stone was moved on top of it.

Make a makeshift stool.

Take out the pre-prepared spindle from the backpack, sort out part of the plantain fiber, and divide it into small groups.

Take a handful of organized plantain fibers and tie a knot at the end to form a small circle.

The small circle fits into the fork at the top of the thin stick of the spindle, and the spindle is hoisted with plantain fibers.

One hand was raised higher, and the other fiddled with the spindle base in the ground.

The wooden stick used as the base rotates in circles, and a handful of plantain fibers above are quickly twisted into a thin rope by the force of the rotation.

【Souga, so this is how the spindle is used. 】

[Master Mu is a beginner. Old people in the village can even make a waterwheel to let the water flow around. 】

【Master Mu: Believe it or not, I'll make one for you too? 】

【If Master Mu said this, I would really believe it. 】

[I remembered the spinning top I played with when I was a child. 】

[My mother made it with potatoes and chopsticks, and knit a sweater for me with the wool. 】

[Nima Xiu. 】

After twisting a section of rope, Mu Qing lowered the already twisted string, and wound it twice between the long wooden stick of the spindle and the base.

Take a handful of plantain fibers from the side, and at the end of the previous plantain fiber, twist the two fibers together.

Holding the spindle high, he continued to move the base underneath.

"Look, this piece of rope is ready to twist."

"Compared with manual operation, the speed of the spindle is much faster, because the force is even, and the thickness of the rope produced is also more uniform."

The twisted rope is wound around the base and the wooden stick, a pinch of new fibers is connected up, and the base of the spindle is continued to be moved.

All the trimmed parts were twisted into ropes and wound on the spindle, Mu Qing stood up and moved around.

Sorted out a large handful of plantain fibers, and divided them into smaller groups according to the previous thickness.

Sit back and work on those fibers.

"After the plantain fibers are rubbed, I can make a frame and weave them into a whole piece of cloth."

"Get another bamboo needle or wooden needle, sew the woven cloth together, process the kapok and palm fiber, and stuff it into the pillowcase."

"I'm going to make a standard-sized, flat pillow."

[A flat pillow, that won't do much, will it? 】

【I have an expensive pillow in my house. It is flattened in the middle of lying down. It looks like there is no pillow. I really hate it. 】

[This kind is the worst, because it is very expensive and I am reluctant to throw it away. 】

[Sleep habits are different, maybe Master Mu likes to sleep on short pillows. 】

After chatting for a while, the plantain fiber in my hand was rubbed out again.

Muqing stood up again, sorted out some fibers, and explained while twisting the rope:

"The pillow is too small, and when you turn over, it will turn out of the pillow, which is uncomfortable to sleep on."

"To have a pillow that is a standard size and has enough support when you lie down, you need a lot of padding."

"The amount of kapok and palm fiber is definitely not enough."

"Then the question is, what should we do at this time?"

Mu Qing purposely played a trick and let the audience guess.

Turn the spindle in your hand, twist the rope around the base.

Muqing thought about this problem for a while with his pillow on his arm yesterday, before he came up with the perfect solution.

"It's easy to guess, why no one can guess."

"I first made a serious cotton pillow. Its advantage is that it is soft enough, but its disadvantages are also obvious. It doesn't seem to have much sense of existence, and lying down is almost equivalent to having no pillow."

"So I want to weave another hollow bamboo pillow to solve the problem of insufficient height."

"Knit the bamboo pillows loosely, and put soft cotton pillows on top."

"The bamboo is woven loose, and the head will sink naturally when resting on it, and the soft pillow surface will also be very comfortable to sleep on."

After finishing speaking, Mu Qing grinned at the camera.

Boys are so witty!

Chapter 131

If it's fast, tonight, or tomorrow at the latest, I'll be able to sleep on a qualified pillow.

Standard of living +1+1+1.

Just thinking about it makes people happy.

Even with tools, twisting plantain fiber into a rope is still a very patient job.

After rubbing halfway, Muqing put down the tool.

I rubbed the palm of my left hand that felt like it was about to cramp after pinching the fine fibers for a long time.

Take the honey water from your backpack and drink it.

"People are iron, food is steel, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry."

"When I was walking upstream, I still ate a lot of small wild fruits along the way, and I still felt a little dizzy."
