Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 241 The secret on the deerskin
When Wang An returned home, he saw Liu Guilan tinkering with a sewing machine.

Maybe she didn't understand clearly, so Liu Guilan's face was filled with an expression of worry and annoyance.

Mu Xueqing and Wang Dazhu were standing nearby, looking anxious with questions on their faces. They couldn't help with anything because they didn't understand how to use this thing.

Wang An looked at the three people spinning in circles and almost laughed out loud.

In fact, this is all normal. Although sewing machines look simple, they are still new in this era.

Besides, in the entire Kaoshan Village, Wang An's sewing machine is only the second one. If we want to talk about the first one, of course it is the family of Changniu Group in Qiantun.

So not only did Liu Guilan and the other three people not understand the sewing machine, but most of the people in the country at this time also didn't understand it.

Seeing Wang An enter the room, Liu Guilan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she shouted: "Eldest son, come here quickly. The three of us have been thinking about it for a long time, and this thing is completely useless."

Wang An put away his smile and began to teach the three people how to use the sewing machine. Fortunately, the sewing machine also came with an instruction manual and drawings.
Otherwise, although Wang An is very familiar with sewing machines, he really can't recognize the names of many parts.

The sewing machine is still very easy to learn, but it is worth noting that when threading the needle, you must use your left hand.

Because if you use your right hand, the thread will go in in the opposite direction, which will cause the upper thread and the lower thread to not hang up.

Wang An explained very carefully and personally demonstrated how to use a sewing machine to make shoe uppers.

Although Wang Dazhu does not do needlework, he studies seriously and seriously.

Wang An feels that as long as you can use a sewing machine to make shoe uppers, using a sewing machine to make other things is a trivial matter.

The cloth shoes of this era were all made of cloth 袼褙, and cloth 袼褙 was actually a cloth board formed by sticking multiple layers of cloth together with multiple layers of masking paste.

The cloth coat is quite old and thick. The upper is made of a layer of cloth coat and two upper and lower layers of upper cloth, sewn together.

The soles, which people often call thousand-layer soles, are actually multiple layers of cloth, densely sewn together with fine linen ropes.

Carrying shoe soles is a job that rural women in this era cannot stop doing. As long as they have time all year round, they must collect shoe soles.

However, even if shoe soles are used all year round, they still cannot provide enough shoes for a family to wear, because cloth shoes are actually just many layers of cloth.

They are not very wear-resistant and not very strong, and the cloth shoes with mille-layout soles are not comfortable to wear.

Although it is called thousand-layer sole, it is afraid of both water and snow. When you step on the ground with these shoes in winter, it only takes less than a minute for the soles of your feet to feel cold.

So in this era, if you want to keep your feet from freezing in the Northeast, you have to wear fur shoes. If you wear cloth shoes, you have to make the uppers higher and put urethane straw insoles in the shoes.

Ever since Wang An spilled blood on his cloth shoes while playing with knives and hunting, he is now wearing Jingtan shoes made by Mu Xueqing. Although they are ugly, these shoes are quite comfortable for hiking in the mountains.

After completely teaching his mother and daughter-in-law how to use a sewing machine, Wang An became idle.

If people are idle, they will find work for themselves.

So Wang An boiled some hot water and boiled the gallbladder that had swelled up again.

Xiong Xiazizi's gallbladder doesn't fall apart after being ironed once, but it needs to be ironed multiple times.

Every time he is permed, the gallbladder of Xiong Xiazizi's gallbladder will be burned and pumped. Then after a few days, the gallbladder will be swollen by the bile bubbles. At this time, it must be permed again.

Only when the bile of the blind bear's gall is completely dried into bile powder can the blind bear's gall be sold, and only then will the supply and marketing cooperative purchase it. Of course, if you want to sell bear bile quickly, you can put it in a slightly hotter place to speed up the conversion of bile into bile powder.

While scalding the galls, Wang An discovered that the Big Bear Iron Galls, Golden Iron Grass Three galls and Bear Strike Golden Galls that he had fought with Mu Xueli before were now available for sale.

Although Wang An is not short of money now, and Wang An also knows that the price of bear bile will increase in a few years.

But it’s better to sell bear bile, because when dried into powder, bear bile can be used as medicinal materials.

As for storing this thing, it is not an ordinary trouble. I am afraid of bugs and mold, and if the good bear bile is worthless, it will make people cry to death.

Besides, whether it is bear bile or fur, when it is in the hand, it is always just an object, or an object of little use.

Only when you sell it for money can you experience the joy of getting something for your hard work. It has nothing to do with whether you have money or not.

After tinkering with the bear bile, Wang An took out the deer skin that had been sewn into a large piece again.

Just when Wang An felt sleepy and was about to fall asleep, he suddenly discovered that the mountains on the deerskin were actually just a guide, or a positioning.

The most important thing in this picture is actually the river under the mountains.

Wang An searched his memory carefully and vaguely remembered that this river was in YJ County next to JY County.

Before Wang An entered Lianpaizi in his previous life, the newspaper said that a large placer gold mine had been discovered again in this YJ County.

Placer gold is gold sand. This kind of gold is usually mixed with sand in rivers. Of course, there are serious gold mines under the river.

What people often call gold mining is actually using a dustpan in the river to clean the sand like rice. The little bit of gold left at the bottom of the dustpan is gold sand!
This discovery immediately made Wang An feel less sleepy and became more energetic instantly.

A gold mine, what is that concept?
The most important thing is that the location of this gold mine may only be known to you. It will still be more than ten years before it is discovered by the country.

But what’s equally stupid is, how can we maximize our profits?
You must know that when Wang An was in the south in his previous life, he really saw the hard work of gold diggers.

Standing in the river with bare feet for a whole day, and risking being beaten to death at any time.

Because gold is definitely the most irrational and dehumanizing thing.

In fact, after Wang An entered Lianpaizi, he was also "lucky" to do gold panning work himself.

But the method was much more efficient than the people in the south who used dustpans to pan for gold, and they worked for nearly two years.

Of course, I was forced to do it, and it was pure work, with basically no subsidies.

And no matter how much gold sand is washed out, you will not be rewarded with one more wowotou.

If there wasn't a ruthless person who ran away while working, Wang An and his group might have done this work until they died.

Those in the wilderness can definitely escape as long as they are evil enough.

In fact, Wang An had prepared everything at that time, but the damn thing was that Wang An's plan was two days behind that ruthless man, so it didn't work out.

　I beg you to read it, just vote and get the reward, thank you, thank you, fist pumping
