Chapter 42: Chapter 42

Chapter 42 42 Rattan Straw Shoes

You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. Yao Xiaoqing also feels that you should have a certain degree of precaution against people who have just joined, as this is related to everyone's life safety.

"Father, why don't you build another room next to my bamboo shed and make some shelves to put all the things inside." Yao Xiaoqing gestured and said.

Yao Hu stood up and said, "Okay, there are still some bamboos, so we will build two more bamboo sheds."

Everyone went out to build bamboo sheds.

Yao Xiaoqing fried an egg pancake for Golden Retriever and gave it to eat. He saw it running outside and hanging on the fence. He took out a bundle of rattan and started to tear off the skin. Hua sat down and whispered: "Xiao Qing, I

I want to take Yaya to sleep in the shed outside."

"Okay! There is an empty bamboo shed outside, just go and live in it!" Yao Xiaoqing glanced at her and found that her eye circles were a little blue, "Hua, are you sick?"

Hua nodded, touched her belly and said, "Xiaoqing, my stomach hurts a little these days, and it hurts every few days."

Yao Xiaoqing thought to herself: She might be about to get her period. Women here are not shy about being cold. It should be common for them to have stomachaches during their period.

There is neither brown sugar nor ginger tea here, nor even a hot water bottle. How can I keep her warm?

Yao Xiaoqing thought for a while, found a bamboo tube, poured some boiling water into it, tightened the stopper and handed it to her.

"Hua, put it on your belly and leave it on for a while to see if it feels better?"

Hua hugged the warm bamboo tube and placed it on her lower abdomen. After a while, she felt her stomach felt better.

"Xiaoqing, the pain is gone."

"Hua, you'd better not drink cold water these days. Use the wooden basin I used to wash your feet to scald your feet before going to bed. Your stomach will feel much better."

"I know Xiaoqing, you are so powerful. I used to be in pain for several days."

Yao Xiaoqing was sure that she had dysmenorrhea. In her previous life, her father did not treat gynecology. She did know a few herbs for treating gynecology: Codonopsis pilosula, astragalus, dodder, wolfberry, Bupleurum, motherwort... He thought about getting some motherwort for her to eat.

eat.

"If you feel any pain in the future, use a bamboo tube to warm your stomach. I will collect some herbs and boil them for you to drink."

"Yes! I remember." After changing the water and heating twice, Hua felt that her stomach felt much better.

The two tore off a lot of cane bark, tied the stripped canes and put them aside so that they could be used to make things.

Yao Xiaoqing took a few vine barks and twisted them into ropes, recalling the steps of his grandfather's making of straw sandals.

I sat down by the fire pit, found four wooden sticks, spaced each stick about an inch wide, and hammered them with stones and nailed them into the soil.

Take a rope and measure the length of your feet, fold it a few times, wrap the rope into a heart shape, wrap the rope inward and downward, and tie knots at both ends.

One end is hung separately on two wooden sticks, and the other end is tied around the waist with a rope. Pick up the rattan and twist it up and down the four vertical ropes. Tighten it several times, leaving the rope buckle, and it is quickly tied.

A shoe.

Place the beaten cane leather shoes on the ground, step on them and tie the straps, and your ugly cane leather shoes will be finished.

Hua looked at her with a joyful smile on her face, "Xiao Qing, can vine skin be used to make shoes?"

"That's right!" Yao Xiaoqing stepped on it a few times and felt that the position of his fingers was a little looser, but everything else felt pretty good. "Hua, these shoes are much more comfortable for your feet. You can also wear them as a pair."

"Well! Let me help you make the other one first."

As Hua said, she picked up the rope that Yao Xiaoqing had measured and put aside, and knitted it according to her pattern.

Seeing Hua's dexterity, Yao Xiaoqing had to admire her. She had a good memory, bright eyes, and was really good at handicrafts.

Watch her clumsily punching a shoe, and the shoe she punched out is tighter and better looking than the shoe she punched.

Yao Xiaoqing helped twist a handful of rope, handed it to her and said: "Hua, if you want to wear it, you need to measure it according to your feet before weaving it."

Hua smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll knit a pair for them too."

As soon as Yao Xiaoqing walked to the entrance of the cave, Shan Amu came in with the wild ducks and waterfowl that he had packed up. "Xiao Qing, you take them and hang them up. I called YY back to sleep."

Seeing YY playing with Golden Retriever, Yao Xiaoqing warned, "Shan Amu, YY is playing with Golden Retriever, please remember to wash her before letting her sleep."

"Okay, you said you will get sick if you don't wash your hands."

Yao Xiaoqing looked at her cheerful look and thought: If she doesn't wash her hair, feet or take a shower, it still stinks! Why can't you smell it?

Shaking his head, he grabbed some salt from the jar, rubbed it on the wild ducks and waterfowl, hung it on a tree branch, and marinated the tripe in a small jar.

When I went outside, I saw Mu Feng and the others had put up bamboo sheds on the cliff on the left.

Dashi waved to her and said: "Xiaoqing, come and see, is this the way you say the shelf is built?"

Yao Xiaoqing said with a smile: "Why are you so fast? Do you have enough bamboo and wood?"

She smiled and said: "It's not enough! We went down the mountain and carried some up."

Yao Xiaoqing saw that in the bamboo shed next to where she lived, they tied several rows of wooden frames with small shrubs. They still had two floors, and the middle floor was connected with mortise and tenon joints.

"That's right, Uncle Dashi, you are so awesome. You built two bamboo sheds in just a short time."

"Hehe!" Dashi smiled proudly, "Your father and uncle Shui are making wooden doors. We have to close the hay shed containing salt."

"Uncle Dashi, the door to the cooking room doesn't need to be made. It's bright and clear so you can see clearly, so that you don't have to cook bugs for you to eat."

Uncle Chong laughed at the side and said: "Xiao Qing, we have also eaten insects. They were skewered and roasted over fire. They taste pretty good."

Yao Xiaoqing looked at the cheerful little old man and couldn't tell that he was bitten by a poisonous snake just yesterday.

"Uncle Chong, how are you feeling today? Are you okay?"

Uncle Chong nodded, "Well, when I wake up early in the morning, my head is no longer dizzy. Xiaoqing is still great."

Yao Xiaoqing looked at how fast Uncle Chong was digging the bucket and gave a thumbs up in praise, "Uncle Chong is also very powerful."

Zhi also joined in the fun, "Xiaoqing, why don't you praise me?"

Yao Xiaoqing rolled his eyes and looked at him with a smile, "Brother Shi'a is so brave and brave. He's so handsome that everyone loves him. He's as beautiful as a flower."

She was a little shy after hearing this, "How can I be as good as you say?"

"Haha," Dashi laughed and patted him, "Ashe, tell Xiaoqing, how do you want her to praise you?"

"Say it!" Mu Feng put his arm around his shoulders.

The male bull also smiled and said: "Yes, Ah Zhi, tell me!"

"Ignore you." Zhi turned around and walked towards Yao Hu. Everyone burst out laughing with a "boom" sound.

After the shed was set up, everyone moved the lard, mutton fat, dried mushrooms, dried meat, rock salt, and dried fur in the jars to the shelves.

Yaohu installed the door and tied it with a rope. Everyone cleaned up the yard, extinguished the bonfire, and returned to the cave to rest.

Shan Amu took a few pairs of straw sandals and said to them with a smile: "Xiao Qing taught us how to make shoes. Let's all try it."
