Chapter 188 Tanning fur to make clothes

Wang Lusheng couldn't even think of what he had eaten wrong.

After receiving Qiao Honglian's lesson, he saw several kinds of wild fruits in the mountains when he went hunting, and he didn't dare to pick them even if he was so greedy that he drooled.

Even when you are thirsty or hungry, you only drink water.

But what he didn't expect was that it was the water he drank that harmed him.

It turned out that on the way back from hunting, Qiao Ran and his party met the Wang family and Qiao Dewang's family who had just returned from the woods.

When she saw Wang Lusheng squatting by a stream drinking water, she quietly popped a pill out.

The pill fell into the stream and dissolved when it came into contact with the water.

Wang Rusheng drank the water in which the pills were melted, and he started to have a seizure on the way back. His stomach kept rumbling.

He didn't think much about it, he just thought he was hungry and his stomach was upset.

He didn't know he had a stomachache until he returned to the camp and felt an uncomfortable stomachache.

Because Qiao Ran didn't get close to him, she was several feet away from him, so he didn't suspect Qiao Ran at all.

Wang Lusheng had vomited and had diarrhea that night. When he went to bed at night, he was so exhausted that he fell asleep early.

When he woke up the next day, there was nothing unusual except that he was weak and could only sit on a cart and let his father push him around. He thought that his unfortunate experience might be over.

Unexpectedly, when it was almost noon, he started to feel itchy, which was so uncomfortable.

So the Wang couple and Qiao Dewang's family who were following the team watched Wang Lusheng sitting on the cart start scratching himself frantically.

itch! itch! It's so itchy!

It felt like there were tens of millions of ants burrowing around inside the body, and the itching that couldn't be scratched was spread all over the body, as if everything from the bones to the blood to the skin and flesh was itchy and uncomfortable, extremely uncomfortable!

It's a pity that the people walking in front didn't see how Wang Lusheng, who always acted like a scholar, scratched himself crazily until he was covered in bloodstains and his clothes were messy.

Others didn't see it, but Qiao Ran could imagine it without looking.

If a couple like Wang Lusheng and Qiao Honglian dare to attack her family, don't blame her for being rude!

But just killing them like this would be too cheap for them.

Death is not terrible, the terrible thing is that life is worse than death!

To let the bad guys get the punishment they deserve is to make their lives worse than death!

Qiao Honglian, who was pushing the trolley behind the team and felt uncomfortable with itching but couldn't spare her hands to scratch it, saw Brother Lu Sheng sitting on the trolley in front of him scratching his itch crazily along the way.

She was startled and rushed forward to show her concern.

However, she forgot that she was speechless now, just like a mute. She could only make hoarse and unpleasant sounds like "Ahhhhh" from her mouth.

Wang Lusheng is so itchy now that he has no time to care about this mute woman who can only say "Ahhhhh"?

Qiao Honglian was anxious and angry, thinking that she got the itching and mute syndrome after she pushed Qiao Ran's brother into the water.

And Brother Lu Sheng just pushed Qiao Ran's fourth uncle yesterday, causing his fourth uncle to be scratched by Blind Bear. Then Brother Lu Sheng had vomiting and diarrhea last night, and today he felt itchy and uncomfortable, with bloody marks all over his body just like himself.

Combining these two things, she deeply suspected that it was all Qiao Ran's fault.

It must be Qiao Ran's revenge on her and Brother Lu Sheng for hurting her relatives!

Qiao Honglian desperately wanted to tell Brother Lu Sheng this information, so that he could go to Qiao Ran for an explanation, and also make him completely give up on Qiao Ran, that vicious girl with a vicious heart.

However, she is now speechless and unable to write. She is extremely anxious, but there is nothing she can do about it.

He could only silently follow the Wang family's trolley, watching his lover keep tickling him. While pushing the trolley, he freed one hand to scratch the itch while still cursing Qiao Ran crazily in his heart.

However, God was destined not to accept her curse. Instead, she was distracted several times and almost pushed the cart down the mountain road, which also provoked a lot of beatings from her parents and grandparents.

Qiao Ran didn't care what happened to the dog and man. When she stopped to rest in the evening, she told the old village chief that there were two ways to tan the fur of those wild animals.

One is oil tanning, which uses animal fats to tan the fur to make it soft, shiny and durable.

The old village chief frowned when he heard that precious oils would be used to tan the fur. He was afraid that no one would be willing to do it!

Qiao Ran guessed what the old village chief was thinking and suggested a second method.

The other is vegetable tanning, which uses plants for tanning.

Plants that can be used to tan fur include tea leaves, bayberry, and larch.

There were no bayberry trees or tea trees on this mountain, but there were quite a few larch trees. The old village chief asked the women to look around and pick some pine needles.

After Qiao Ran returned from hunting with a group of young men, the women also picked baskets of green pine needles.

Qiao Ran began to teach everyone how to process these pine needles to prepare them for tanning animal skins.

To deceive others, the Qiao family also kept some not-so-good wolf skins, raccoon skins, etc., and used these ancient methods to tan them.

At night, Qiao Ran went into the space and used formic acid and salt to tan the more precious tiger skins, bear skins, fox skins and other furs.

A few days later, the first batch of animal skins was tanned, and women began to use these tanned skins to sew hats, scarves, clothes, leather boots, etc. to keep warm and warm.

Qiao Ran also taught her family how to make boots, making them look like modern Martin boots, leaving a few holes on the uppers for tying shoelaces. This way they can be easily put on and taken off, and they can be worn more securely and will not fall off easily. chain.

After all, when you’re on the road, a pair of shoes that are sturdy, fit and comfortable is very important.

Qiao Ran also taught her mother, grandmother, and third aunt to use the scraps left over from making clothes and shoes to make leather gloves, and also made insoles to put inside shoes, which are comfortable and warm.

The villagers all know that Qiao Ran has many weird and wonderful ideas, and they often keep an eye on their Qiao family!

When they saw the shoes and gloves made by the Qiao family, they felt that they looked really good, and they also learned to make them that way.

In this era, people used animal skins to make clothes, usually only into short waistcoats or large cloaks, cloaks, etc.

Qiao Ran felt that it was inconvenient to wear it that way, and it wasn't close enough to keep warm.

So he taught the three women in the family to make their clothes into a waist-fitting style with slits in the front or both sides, which would make it easier to walk.

The style of this dress was naturally copied by the villagers.

For a time, everyone came to learn from the Qiao family to make leather jackets, fur coats, leather boots, leather gloves, etc.

The Qiao family also showed no secrets and taught the villagers generously.

In addition to sleeping on the road every day, everyone is busy hunting, making meat jerky, tanning leather and fur to make warm winter clothes and quilts, etc.

Later, the Qiao family couldn't use up the animal skins they hunted, and there were still many of them piled in the warehouse.

Qiao Ran stopped going hunting with Qiao Dong and the others. She took the time to search for medicinal materials in the days before she left the mountain.
