Chapter 140
Su Yu has been practicing archery the past few days.
After two days of normal practice, she discovered that her talent was limited. It was only after she used her powers that she improved her accuracy.
But the use of supernatural powers is not unlimited, and excessive consumption will make people weak.
So, after careful consideration, Su Yu finally stopped practicing bow and arrow.
After the first beast attack, ten more females were added to the female archery team, and the thirty-five female archers would spend some time every day for practice.
Seeing everyone working hard, Su Yu felt that she could also improve her combat effectiveness in her own way.
So, Su Yu exchanged all the remaining 60 bullets in his space in advance, and temporarily stored them in the space together with the wooden warehouse he brought with him when he traveled through, in case of need. Ready to use.
Due to exchanging bullets, Su Yu’s points suddenly consumed 1,200 points.
Looking at the remaining 353 points, Su Yu became eager to earn points again.
So, there was what was in her hands at this time.
This is a simple spinning wheel.
Su Yu should be thankful that at the end of the world, when he was collecting supplies, he collected some books.
Luckily, there are magazines in it that mention how cotton was made into cotton thread and then into cotton cloth in ancient times.
Because it is a magazine, the content is not very detailed, but fortunately, there are some pictures in the article.
Among them are hand-operated spinning wheels, pedal-operated spinning wheels, waist looms and twill looms.
The hand spinning wheel is a spinning tool that processes the processed noodles into cotton thread.
The waist machine is a weaving tool used in the primitive hand-woven period.
As for the twill loom, it was a loom widely used during the period of manual machine weaving.
The article in the magazine only describes the development of China's textile industry, but does not describe in detail the specific production methods of the various tools in the picture, as well as the specific operations of spinning and weaving.
Therefore, Su Yu just picked the simplest waist machine and a hand spinning wheel, used her consciousness to compare the pictures in space, and then slowly made the thing first.
As for how to spin thread and weave cloth, Su Yu could only explore it bit by bit.
Xia Na came back from duty. After breakfast, Su Yu asked him to go to sleep. After Xia Na fell asleep, she began to prepare to try spinning.
The cloud flowers in the food storage hole have all had their seeds removed.
According to what the magazine said, Su Yu first fluffed the clouds, then spread the cotton into thin sheets, and used thin wooden sticks to roll the cotton sheets into cotton twisters to make tampons.
After Su Yu made a small basket of cotton slivers, she began to try to use the spinning wheel.
One hand holds a cotton twist made of cloud flowers and wraps it around the spindle of the spinning wheel, while the other hand stirs the spinning wheel.
At the same time, the arms extend and contract, stirring in both forward and reverse directions, to maintain the consistency of the line.
These are all written in the article, but at the beginning, Su Yu did not operate smoothly.
After stumbling and stumbling until Xia Na woke up, Su Yu finally spun a thread of even thickness.
Taking off the cone's thread tassel from the spindle, Su Yu raised her lips and carefully put it into the thread basket.
When Xia Na woke up, what he saw was Su Yu carefully putting the tassels into a basket.
"Xiao Yu'er, are you spinning?" Shana came over curiously and asked.
Su Yu did not avoid Xia Na when she was making spinning wheels and waist machines, and Xia Na even helped when making the spinning wheels.
So Shana knows what these things are used for.
Now that I have seen Su Yu operating it with my own eyes, I can guess it easily. When Su Yu heard the question, she raised her head and turned her neck first. After a click, she felt a little more comfortable, and then she smiled and nodded at Shana.
“But the light is a little dark, so I’d better stop busy and take a rest, otherwise my eyes will feel uncomfortable.”
Hearing this, Su Yu glanced at the window Outside, sure enough, the sky seemed darker.
My consciousness entered the space and looked at the time. It was almost 3 o'clock.
After getting up and packing the things around her, Su Yu stretched, then sat down by the charcoal basin to warm herself up.
In the charcoal basin, Shana just added some new charcoal, and the overall temperature is not too high.
After working for a long time, Su Yu felt that her hands were a little stiff and she quickly put her hands close to the charcoal fire.
"Xiao Yu'er, be careful, don't get too close!" Xia Na grabbed Su Yu's hand uneasily and wanted to move away.
Unexpectedly, the small hands in the big palms were surprisingly cold.
"Why is it so cold?" Xia Na said as he put his other big palm up and used his own hand to warm Su Yu's hand.
"Aren't you too busy to warm yourself by the fire?" Su Yu said nonchalantly.
“Moreover, the clouds and flowers cannot be close to the charcoal fire, and the lines made of them should be further away from the charcoal fire.”
Following that, Su Yu talked to Xia Na about something else. Threads, things about cotton.
After Su Yu's hands were completely warm, Xia Na got up and went into the kitchen to start preparing dinner.
The days are getting shorter in the cold season, and it basically gets dark around 5:30.
The sun rarely shines in snowy days. Su Yu’s solar desk lamp has less and less power stored during the day, so she can only use it sparingly now.
So, dinner is usually cooked and eaten quickly while the sky is still bright.
Then after eating, I quickly lay down and slept until dawn!
After Xia Na entered the kitchen, Su Yu looked at the fire for a while and then walked out of the cave.
The desk lamp was still placed at the entrance of the cave, and she had to get it back quickly.
The moment she exited the cave, Su Yu felt as if she had entered a large ice cave.
No, it’s not like that, she just entered a big ice cave.
What strikes the eye is a sheet of white. The branches of a tree at the entrance of the cave have been broken by the heavy snow. Even on the edge of the wooden door, little snowflakes have fallen.
This was the "eave" that Su Yu asked Xia Na to make quickly before the snowy day, so that a small area outside the door could be spared and not completely "occupied" by the snow.
Su Yu took down the lamp from a hanging basket under the eaves, shuddered, turned around and hurried into the cave.
Xia Na was busy in the kitchen. Su Yu planned to go in to help, but Xia Na pushed her out and asked her to continue to warm the fire.
So someone who was bored by the fire suddenly had a whim and fell into a daze again, and his consciousness entered the space.
I'm too lazy to look at the space panel. The points are so low that I feel frustrated.
Su Yu went directly to the shelf where the cloud flowers were stored, and then used her consciousness to loosen the cloud flowers little by little.
Two large buckets of cloud flowers, before dinner, Su Yu flicked half of the bucket with consciousness and filled more than one and a half buckets.
Su Yu ended her "daze" state before Shana's dinner was ready.
While there was still a while before dinner, Su Yu planned to sit down for a while to get tired.
Although it is very convenient to operate the consciousness into space, it consumes a lot of mental energy.
After half a bucket of cloud flowers was ready, Su Yu was exhausted.
