Primitive Tribes: Starting with the Name Daji

"Once you've learned it, teach this method to other members of your tribe. Make sure everyone has a set."

"It's not just for keeping out the rain; it can also be used to keep warm temporarily."

As Su Che spoke, he couldn't help but look up at the sky.

"The sky has been getting darker and darker lately, and it feels like it's going to keep raining."

"We can't let people catch a cold like before; everyone has to take good care of themselves."

"I would like to remind everyone to drink more hot water recently, which means boiling distilled water in an earthenware pot before drinking it."

Since there are no medicines or anything like that.

Then all we can do is remind our people to drink more hot water.

The sparrow naturally kept these things in mind.

After all, it's not a good thing for a member of the clan to be sick.

at this time.

[Ding! The host has successfully crafted a raincoat and a straw hat. Rewards: 500 Space Fragments and 100 Jute Seeds!]

Su Che was taken aback at first.

They even gave out jute seeds as a reward again.

This is definitely a good thing for Su Che.

Now that the number of people in his tribe has increased, a hundred seeds are not too many for him.

Although the resulting crops can be used to make seeds for planting.

However, the seeds directly awarded by the system are still more convenient.

The next few days.

Sparrow gathered some of his people and began to learn how to weave straw hats and raincoats.

This thing is really difficult!

Only two or three of them can be learned!

Even though Sparrow and Ahri are teaching very seriously, it's really hard to learn!

But Su Che said that he would make sure that everyone in the tribe had a set!

In the end, the sparrows could only select a few who were good at the craft to work with Ahri to make straw hats and raincoats.

There used to be only fifty-odd people in the tribe.

now.

But there are over two hundred people!

This is a massive project!

Unbeknownst to Su Che, Sparrow and Ah Li were making straw hats and raincoats for the entire tribe, while he was holed up in his dwelling, starting to make something new.

That's an oil-paper umbrella!

A raincoat and a bamboo hat are enough.

But what if it's just a light drizzle one day?

Wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat seems a bit wasteful.

But oil-paper umbrellas are different; they provide a tool even in light rain.

However, the craftsmanship of oiled paper umbrellas is more difficult and troublesome than that of straw raincoats and bamboo hats.

Let’s not talk about it yet.

The paper that Su Che can make now is relatively rough.

The umbrella frame also requires a lot of time and effort.

However, it was thanks to Su Che's life in the primitive world that he was able to survive.

Having gone through so many trials and tribulations.

Making the frame of an umbrella is much easier than making a loom.

It will take two days.

Su Che has already completed the umbrella frame.

This behavior completely baffled Daji.

She tilted her head, looking at Su Che with a face full of curiosity.

"Su Che, what are you doing again? What's the use of these bamboo stalks?"

"Good stuff, the frame of an oil-paper umbrella. The effect is similar to that of a raincoat and straw hat, but different. Once it's made, you can go out with an oil-paper umbrella without getting wet, and you won't need to wear a heavy raincoat and straw hat."

"Really? Su Che, you're amazing!"

Accompanied by Daji.

Su Che completed the skeleton, but that was only the first step.

The next step is to make larger sheets of paper.

Previously, the paper used to record the nearby terrain was very rough and heavy, which was simply unsuitable for making the body of an oil-paper umbrella.

Now, Su Che needs to make a larger sheet of paper, which requires more tree bark to be pulped and made into an umbrella.

So Su Che thought about making a pile driver.

Making the pulp by hand is pure torture.

With a pulping machine, at least a lot of effort can be saved.

Without hesitation, Su Che directly used mortise and tenon joints to manufacture a pulping machine.

This thing is even simpler.

It's just a few pieces of wood linked together.

The person on the other side lifted it up and then lowered it.

All you need to do is put the pulp made from the bark under the wooden stake and pound it to make it finer.

Not only that.

Su Che wove a round bamboo mat using bamboo strips.

It is used to filter tree pulp, thus making thinner paper.

at last!

Su Che successfully made thinner paper, and then brushed tung oil on it.

Then, using the collected resin, the umbrella canopy and frame were glued together.

We are fortunate to be in the primitive world.

Therefore, there is still a considerable amount of resin production.

After making an oil-paper umbrella, Su Che opened and closed it several times.

"It's done!"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully crafted an oiled paper umbrella. Rewards: 50 Space Fragments, 100 Cotton Seeds!]

Su Che couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Cotton seeds, amazing!

With cotton seeds, you can plant cotton.

Once cotton is produced, it can be used not only to make quilts, but also to make clothes.

Clothes made from this stuff are much more comfortable to wear than coarse cloth garments made from ephedra!

Even if you don't make clothes from it, just using it as a bed mat is warmer than using hay!

If winter comes, Su Che won't be able to complete the entire garment-making process.

Having this cotton is better than having nothing at all!

This time, Su Che didn't let the sparrows do the planting!

He wants to grow them himself!

Before this.

Su Che handed the oil-paper umbrella to Daji.

"Keep this safe. Use it when it rains. To use it, simply push it up. Put it away when you're done."

"Don't use too much force, and don't open and close it too many times, or it will break easily."

Daji nodded with an innocent expression.

"Yes! Daji knows!"

After that, Su Che led his people to fence off a piece of land and directed his clansmen to plant cotton.
