Chapter 136 The Birth of Yarn
Chen Shiyue did not touch the wooden box left by Huanyue and would take it when needed.
Looking at the empty wooden house which was one-third larger than before, Chen Shiyue thought that she should put some baskets and baskets in it, and make some wooden shelves to put in, and let Yiyun do it after the house was renovated.
I took out the Beast World version of red cherries that I had put in there earlier and felt full after eating two.
Yiyun was busy with carpentry work in the house again. She walked out and looked back at the renovated wooden house. She was really impressed by Yiyun. The two-story wooden house had no other decorations except this one.
Since this wooden house can be lived in, let's move. Speaking of moving, there are only some of Yiyun's personal animal skins, nothing else, just move in. From that day on, Chen Shiyue never returned to the tribe's big tent to live, even if she wanted to go, Yiyun wouldn't let her.
With her own house, she had more private space and a richer private life. She could spend most of the night doing this. I have to say that orcs really have unlimited energy. Thanks to Huanyue's blood-replenishing and qi-nourishing pills, her physical fitness has improved a lot. Except for starting late in the morning, she has no other discomfort.
In order to decorate the house quickly, Yiyun called some orcs to help. In this way, it took about three sunrises to decorate the exterior walls of each room upstairs and downstairs, all made of wooden boards. In order to enhance the sound insulation effect, Chen Shiyue asked Yiyun to make the wooden wall of the master bedroom double-layered, and sandwiched animal skins in the middle. This does waste some animal skins, but the warmth and sound insulation effects are really good.
The master bedroom was built in two rooms, one upstairs and one downstairs. Chen Shiyue planned to live upstairs in the cold season to keep warm, and usually live downstairs. Who told her that her family had so many bedrooms? Two floors, in addition to two large living rooms upstairs and downstairs, there were four large rooms downstairs and four large rooms upstairs. The rooms were so full that they could only be used to store air. Of course, this was only the situation in their family.
This is not the case for families with several orc partners. The head female of the household has a bedroom, and several orc partners each have a bedroom, as well as a bedroom for the cubs and a storage room.
Standing in the yard of her own home, Chen Shiyue was very satisfied. She had her own house with a lot of open space in front, behind, and on both sides. She planned to plant fruits and vegetables in the future. Of course, it was just a thought now and there was no sign of fruits and vegetables.
The next door is Li, followed by Ye Zi, Hong Hua, Yu, Lan, etc. This order is said to have been decided by the beastmen in a fight.
The second family in the back row is Elder Langke, and beyond that are Liuhua and other White Wolf tribe members. As for the first family in the back row, it is temporarily vacant for the time being, reserved for the construction of a tribal canteen and single dormitory.
On the right, across the street, is the Nanfeng tribe, which is arranged similarly to the Yao tribe. Opposite the city lord is the deputy city lord's house, and the back of the deputy city lord's house is now left empty, and in the future, the Nanfeng tribe canteen and single dormitory are planned to be built.
No one thought it was wrong for Yinfeng to have his own house. Although Yinfeng was single, he was the deputy mayor of Yaocheng, the leader of the Nanfeng tribe, and the minister of trade.
The situation is similar in other tribal areas. Regardless of whether the tribal leader has a family or not, the first house on the central road must belong to the tribal leader, and the ranking of the other houses is decided by each tribe.
With excavation experts like Pangolin Orc, the waterways and sewage drains in each district have been laid out, and the excavation team's recent work is to dig foundations at various construction sites. Yiyun was in a good mood and lent an excavation team to the North Wind City across the street. As a condition of the transaction, North Wind City sent another 30 orcs to work.
At present, there are already one hundred orcs from Beifeng City working in Yaocheng. Fortunately, Beifeng City has a large population. Even if so many are borrowed, they still have more than three hundred orcs, more than one hundred females, and dozens of cubs.
After working in Yaocheng for a few days, Liefeng had a thorough understanding of the overall layout of Yaocheng. After returning, he also arranged Beifeng City in the same way.
Now, although the progress of construction in Beifeng City is not as fast as that in Yaocheng, a lot of stones have been broken and a lot of wood has been cut. It is said that they really found a patch of sticky trees, and after giving Yaocheng twenty trees, they still have a lot.
Now, the river between Yaocheng and Beifengcheng has basically been salvaged of all the stones, and even the sand is not much, and the river is much deeper. To salvage stones, you have to go further into the river.
Now, the orcs from North Wind City are salvaging stones upstream, and the orcs from Yao City are salvaging stones downstream. The orcs from the two tribes are salvaging farther and farther away.
Lie Bai no longer has time to stay with Lie Feng. He has become a tool beast for salvaging stones. Besides him, there is another big white python in Beifeng City, and both big white pythons are very busy.
At the trading center, Yinfeng had people build several toilets and a simple tent, mainly to make it convenient for the females from Beifeng City to come and work.
Yes, based on Li's feedback, Chen Shiyue considered that the females in Beifeng City really had nothing to do, so she had an idea. She asked the orcs to scrape the hair off the sheepskin, and asked the females in Beifeng City to help clean the wool. She told them that this wool could be spun into yarn and could be used to make clothes that were much lighter than animal skins.
As for how to twist wool into yarn, Chen Shiyue only had some theoretical knowledge. She talked about it with Li and the others and asked the females to study it. If it didn't work, she would study it herself.
There are many grasslands in the north, and sheep and beasts are easy to hunt and wool is relatively easy to obtain. If wool yarn can be made, there will be greater room for development of cloth in the animal world in the future.
The females in North Wind City were happy to help clean the wool in exchange for food. But when they heard that they had to twist the wool into thread, they were confused and shook their heads to say they didn't know how. Only Lelan was holding a ball of wool and trying.
Finally, under the astonished gazes of the females, Lie Lan successfully twisted the wool. She found a small wooden stick and wrapped the twisted yarn around it little by little.
Led by Lelan, the females joined the defense line one after another.
Looking at the rolls of wool that Li brought back, Chen Shiyue was shocked. She had only talked about it and had never put it into practice. She didn't expect that Lelan could lead the females to spin wool. This was a great change and an advancement of civilization.
In order to reward Lelan, Chen Shiyue suggested that Lelan could eat a full moon of food for free in the cafeteria of the trading center.
To this end, Chen Shiyue asked Yiyun to convene a joint meeting of Beifeng City and Yaocheng. The participants were the elders of the two tribes, and the meeting was held in the dining area of the trading center.
When Liefeng arrived with the three elders of Beifeng City and Lie Bailielan, the city lord, deputy city lord and elders of Yao tribe were already waiting there.
Liefeng's gaze paused for a moment on the female opposite him, then he looked at Yiyun and said, "City Lord Yiyun, you invited us here so solemnly, I wonder what's the important matter."
Yiyun nodded and said, "It is indeed very important. For the development of the Beast World, I hope that you Beifeng City can also participate. Of course, if you don't participate, we can also do it."
Lie Feng said: "Okay, then tell me what kind of big thing it is."
This time, it was Chen Shiyue who spoke.
She picked up a ball of wool, pulled out the thread and said, "This ball of thread is called wool. It was twisted by Lelan using wool. You know, wool has many uses. It can be said that it has more uses than animal skins. Wool can be used to weave sweaters, which are lighter than animal skins. In the cold season, wearing a sweater is both comfortable and warm."
The animals were shocked. Is wool so useful?
