survival in the wilderness

Chapter 42 Ingenuity
Lin Yan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Old Hei, my family just had a meal. They ate steamed eggs. It was delicious. You can also make a bowl and try it."

"How do you do it?" Lao Hei became interested, and of course he wanted to try something more delicious.

Lin Yan said how to do it, and Lao Hei started to do it immediately.

Although he had just eaten, the anticipation of the steamed eggs made Lao Hei quickly start.

Lin Yan directed at the side, and Lao Hei started to do it, waiting for the eggs to be put into the clay pot.

She held a slate and drew while saying: "This earthen pot can't do without a lid, the heat escapes, Lao Hei, can you put a lid on the pot, like this."

Old Hei looked at it seriously, "It's easier to make than a jar, I'll make it later."

"Okay. Old Hei, you are so powerful that you can cook anything."

Old Hei grinned, "You are still the best, without you, I would not be able to do these things."

When the steamed egg was ready, Lao Hei couldn't stop after taking a bite.

Lin Yan was also happy looking at it, and wanted to share the delicious food with everyone, "Old Hei, how are you? I didn't lie to you. This steamed egg is the most delicious."

"It's delicious, it's so novel."

"Hey, the most important thing about this steamed egg is the egg, and the goose egg tastes good too."

"Goose eggs?" Old Hei thought for a while, "You want to pick up goose eggs?"

"Hmm, old black, what do you think?"

Lin Yan wanted to encourage people to find the geese, but now that they have settled down, everyone is moving around, not daring to go far.It is still difficult to persuade.

Old Hei asked seriously: "It's too dangerous to go out here, do you really want to go?"

"I want to go. Old Hei, I can't do many things if I stick to this place. I want to lead everyone to a better life. It's dangerous outside, but if we don't explore, it can only be like this. You can also see When we arrive, change is the best. Having a fire, having a house, and starting to farm, these are all brought about by changes. Only by going out will there be more changes. Finding geese is only the first step, and we will continue to do so in the future. Go to the other side of the Sun River, to conquer farther places.”

Looking at the radiant Lin Yan, the little man was full of pride, and Lao Hei was attracted by what she said.What she said was right, if she didn't change, how could she live a stable life.

"Okay, then go. Wait for me to find someone."

The goal was achieved, and Lin Yan went home happily.

Huahong is going to the next door to promote the steamed eggs, so that the neighbors can taste the deliciousness.

Lin Yan didn't follow, and was going to find something for the geese at home.

After a while, the grass branch came.Her family lived in Group 22, [-]nd Street, a little further away.

Since moving into the new home, Cao Zhi has also come to Lin Yan several times, and asked Lin Yan to help with her newly made patterns.

Lin Yan likes grass branches very much. He is smart, ingenious, and has extraordinary talent in weaving.

She had to admit that she was not as good as Cao Zhi, and her hands-on ability was really not on the same level.Since leading the grass branches into the gate of weaving, I have never been able to catch up.

In the room numbered 0103 is a collection of all kinds of weaving. Lin Yan is the porter, and he moves the things out to Caozhi, so that she can study it by herself.

"Lin Yan, it's made by the spinning machine, would you like to take a look?" Cao Zhi said excitedly, since Lin Yan told her about the spinning machine and the loom, she has been studying it.

After more than half a year of hard work, it finally paid off.

"Really?" Lin Yan was also excited, wanting to make more twine, the spinning machine is much faster than the spindle.

"Really." Caozhi nodded, "Thanks to the help of Xiaoshi, he is so smart, he got some wood and fiddled with it for a while and then made it."

"It's made of little stones?" Lin Yan was surprised. That little troublemaker is always restless. Although he is smart, he is more lively, and he always feels that he can't calm down and do things.

"Yeah, it's Little Shitou. Oh, no, I'm going to be called Shi Zhi now. He chose his own name and even named his family members Shi. He's really smart. I haven't done it for a long time If it is successful, let Shi Zhi help, he quickly made the spinning machine and is studying the loom."

When Cao Zhi mentioned Shi Zhi, his eyes were shining.After the spinning machine was made, she realized why Lin Yan had to do this, and the efficiency had been greatly improved.

With a spindle, one person can make one ball of thread a day, but with a spinning machine, one person can make three balls of thread in one morning.

Lin Yan became interested, "Come on, let's go to see the textile machine. Shi Zhi's house is on the same street as yours, so let's go to his house to have a look."

If so, he felt that Shi Zhi would be of great use. Although he was young, he had a good brain and could understand a little bit, so he would definitely use it in the future.

The two walked out of Lin Yan's house, walked north along Zhongxin Avenue, and went to Cao Zhi's house first.

Caozhi's family has a large population, there are more than a dozen people, and the houses live in a row. She took Lin Yan to her room.

When I saw the spinning machine, several wooden strips were fixed together, like a windmill, with a handle, very simple and primitive.

The grass branch excitedly showed Lin Yan, took out the hemp silk and spun the thread quickly, and a ball of hemp thread was spun out in a short while.

Lin Yan also thought it was amazing, it was the first time she had seen such primitive handmade.

"Yes, with a spinning machine, spinning thread is much easier."

"Yeah, spinning is much faster now. When we make a few more spinning machines, everyone can wear linen clothes." Cao Zhi said while spinning.

Now the production of sackcloth is slow, and there are still many people who don't have a set of sackcloth to wear, and are wrapped in leaves and animal skins.

Nowadays, people raise pikas and pick up wild eggs. The food problem has been improved, and they also have the pursuit of clothing.

Caozhi is busy spinning and weaving clothes for her family every day, and she feels that the speed is too slow.

Lin Yan nodded in agreement, and asked with a smile, "Little Shitou changed his name, didn't you?"

Since everyone nestled together to study in the cold season last year, most of them have changed their names, taking the family as a unit and having their own surnames.

Cao Zhi smiled, "I also chose a name. My grandma made everyone in my family surnamed Hong, so I will be called Hong Ling."

"It sounds good. Then I will call you Hongling from now on."

The two were talking and discussing the improvement of the textile machine. Hongying's aunt Hongying came in, holding a large bowl with some boiled eggs and two red apples in it.

Hongying said happily: "Lin Yan, come and eat something. You come to our house once in a while."

Lin Yan accepted it with a smile, and everyone couldn't refuse her love.

Hongying was even happier, "Teach Hongling more, she is very smart, she will definitely be able to learn. If she doesn't study hard, you can tell me."

"Hong Ling is very smart, has a pair of dexterous hands, and can learn everything quickly, which I can't match." Lin Yan sincerely praised.

Hongying laughed even happier.

Lin Yan is so smart that everyone in the tribe wants their children to study with her.

People like Shuihua, everyone laughed secretly, it was too stupid.

Everyone felt that a doll who could learn from Lin Yan would definitely be different in the future.
