The spinning wheel did not turn, instead, there was the sound of tearing flax and making thread.
Wooden instruments are clashing, knocking, and interlacing.
The Jingwei bird stood on the window sill of the textile room, quietly looking at Yuqian who was working inside.
Silkworms do not spin silk all year round, so plants such as hemp are also the source of cloth. The hemp retting technology in the Zhou Dynasty was very good. There is an allusion to the East Gate Pond in the Book of Songs.
As for the textile machine, in addition to the most primitive spinning wheel, in this era, there is no need to invent the "original waist machine".
The weaving process involves the completion of five major movements: shedding, weft insertion, beat-up, take-up, and let-off. The components on the loom were continuously improved based on these movement settings. Therefore, in ancient China, for the loom,
It has been studied since the time of the Yellow Emperor. This piece of machinery is one of the typical strengths of ancient China that surpassed other civilizations.
The original waist machine appeared in the middle and late Neolithic Age. According to legends between mountains and seas, it was invented and figured out by Leizu, Boyu, Hu Cao and other three weaving ministers.
This kind of loom does not have a frame, but has two crossbars at the front and rear. One end of the cloth rolling shaft is tied to the waist. Both feet hold the warp beam at the other end and tighten the fabric. People replace the brackets. Therefore, it is called a "waist machine".
Hence the name.
The women of the Akagata clan were working hard to weave linen using primitive waist looms, and at this time, a burst of happy shouts came from outside.
Because of helping the Ganpan clan, the three of them often traveled between Ganpan and Chifang. Danzhu came back recently because Yuzai needed his help and planned some new equipment. Of course, Danzhu
Zhu himself is very happy!
Akakata clan is simply a paradise for mechanical dogs!
Danzhu has no idea that his father is throwing a tantrum in the Central Plains and is preparing to clean up his affairs. Now Danzhu only thinks about those special instruments that have not been completely made, whether they are heavy trucks,
Or oil press, don’t worry about it!
Yu Qian and others poked their heads out to take a look, and saw that the pounding cart Danzhu mentioned had been successfully made, and Yu Yu was letting the stone ox pull the thing and run around.
"It's really good. These tools made by witches are very convenient."
"It's also because Brother Hong's craftsmanship is very good. They are very good at learning beams, hangings, and columns."
"I heard from the witch that we also need new objects here?"
"It's great. When will the new textile machine arrive?"
The women are looking forward to the arrival of new textile equipment. Previously, Ruanzai made a small spinning wheel in single-player mode. This thing is very simple and is also an old item. For a guy like Ruanzai who is very capable of doing things, it is not a big deal.
too difficult
Sometimes, when it comes to things like work, you just have to force yourself to do it. If you don’t force yourself to do it, you won’t even know you can do it.
Everyone knows how to draw, so if you have the skills, you can do it!
Yuzai said, I'm good, I can do it!
This small spinning wheel is the spiritual sacred object and sustenance of the women of the Akagata clan. They believe in the wizard. Although the wizard is very young, since he came to Nanqiu, his life has been getting better and better day by day, and his life has become more and more comfortable.
The emergence of equipment has made up for the lack of manpower, allowing one person to do the work of two people, or even five or six people.
The emergence of tools and equipment is to liberate a certain amount of labor.
Yuqian turned her head, and the Jingwei bird jumped on her shoulder.
"The ancestors also felt the presence of witches, so they flew here and found their hometown?"
"Qian, don't say she is an ancestor! Mr. Qiao said that this Jingwei is Wu's sister!"
"Ah, I'm rude!"
The women laughed and apologized to the Jingwei Bird.
Yu Qian already knew why the Jingwei bird came close to her, Wu had already told it.
Mostly because of the child in her belly.
"Infected child, I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to me. It's like a dream. Is it a boy or a girl? Jingwei is here, it should be a girl."
Yu Qian was actually a little afraid of this child at first, but now, she is vaguely looking forward to it.
This child is very special and strange. Her belly is only slightly bulging even now.
Will this child be of great use to the tribe?
Will she be a symbol?
Yuqian had a vague premonition that when this child was born, the bluestone of the ancestral land would surely shine with brilliance.
This time should be very soon. According to the conception time, it should be in the spring of next year, and the child will be born.
Yu Qian was a little excited, a little happy, and a little nervous.
Jingwei came here for the witchcraft and for her hometown. Of course, she came here for the baby in her belly that had not yet come to the world.
"Goojiji!"
Guzi suddenly appeared here, running over specifically to find Jingwei, but Jingwei jumped down from the window sill with great joy, and the two birds started jumping and playing on the ground.
"Look, how come Wu's sister plays so well with Guzi?"
"Jingwei is Jingwei. Although Guzi was born from the fire and should be an alien beast, no matter how alien he is, he is just a chicken."
The girls began to tease Guzi kindly, because Mr. Qiao said that Jingwei would only have children with Haiyan.
And Guzi is really too young.
On this day, the young Guzi felt the malice from time.
"Cuckoo"
Why can't I grow up?
So after Guzi experienced what happened on this day, he immediately ran to find Mamazai.
But Yu Zai and the wizards were preparing to leave for the area of public rapeseed fields that everyone had planned and determined. When Guzi ran over, a wizard immediately recognized it!
"Isn't it the awesome chick that pecked Archer to death in the summer?"
Guzi: "Guji!"
pride!
Wizard Yan Yu said and asked strangely: "Why hasn't it grown up yet?"
It was like a heavy hammer hitting Guzi's head, and Guzi's face immediately darkened.
"Yes, this chick has been around for a long time, why hasn't it grown up yet?"
"It is said that this chicken is a strange beast and can breathe fire?"
"Then it should be grown up. It doesn't take much time for a bird to grow up."
The voices of the wizards made Guzi feel so wronged that he died.
Gujijiji!
Why can't I grow up!
"Maybe I need to exercise more to release the accumulated strength?"
Yuzai touched his chin and decided to go to open up wasteland this time and take Guzi with him.
This time we set fire again. After cultivating the fields and cutting down the trees, the land needs to be burned again before it can be opened up.
"When I was young, I longed to grow up, and when I grew up, I longed to go back to my childhood. Life turns out to be the same."
Yuzai suddenly said this out of nowhere.
But today's Guzi cannot understand the mood of this "adult" period.
It just wants to grow up quickly, so that it can play well with Jingwei, without having to be carried around and watched by Slippers. When it grows up, it can also control its own power, so that it can have more friends to play with.
Let’s play together by ourselves! Everyone is running around on the fields, ha, I’m very happy just thinking about it!
Yuzai looked at Guzi who was happy and imagined that he had grown up, but a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.
Our footsteps fell in the mud. After walking for a long time, we arrived at the predetermined mountains and fields.
Guzi had already fallen asleep in Yuzai's pocket, but the little Guzi looked very happy and peaceful.
Among the mountains and fields, Yu Zai saw a place in the distance, leaning against the water flow.
There are pieces of rapeseed flowers that have not yet bloomed, living under the trees and beside the water.
