Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

Duck down is easy to get, it is nothing more than the soft fluff from the duck's belly or neck, but there are not many ducks in the village, and it is not suitable at this time. Of course, cotton is not available ready-made, but Xiaojiu's mall has ready-made ones. As the points increase, more things can be unlocked.

If you have enough points, you will certainly not treat yourself badly when making a wish. In order to have a quilt, you must first know how to make it and have the necessary tools.

The slingshot, wooden hammer and millstone have all been prepared, and the most important thing is silk thread to sew the prepared cotton together.

Xuyuan took four pieces of wood and some bamboo strips that had been cut into equal lengths and began to make a tool for winding the wire.

Xu Zhi and many others saw this action. Because the kitchen space was limited, Xu Yuan had to clear the tables and chairs in the courtyard to make room.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

Xu Zhi helped Xu Yuan move the necessary things from the utility room and asked curiously.

"Make a tool. Xiaozhiguozi, you guys come and Xiaoduo, you just watch on the side." Xuyuan called two people over and demonstrated what they needed to do. They only needed to knock the bamboo pieces into the round hole drilled by Xuyuan, and they had to make sure it was firm.

Although Xiaoduo did not help, he watched carefully and put some water in the brazier in the pavilion.

Xuyuan drilled a round hole in every gap, quickly finishing one piece of wood, and then the remaining ones.

Several people divided the work and it took a lot of time to finish all these. Many people saw the four identical pieces of wood and became more curious about what the eldest sister was going to make next.

Xu Yuan asked Xu Zhi to bring four stools and place them on both sides. Then he arranged the wood filled with bamboo strips horizontally and vertically to form a bed. He then hung a bundle of silk threads above his head, took a very thin bamboo pole and punched a hole in the middle, let a silk thread pass through the round hole, and then began to make a frame by wrapping the bamboo strips around them. He used the silk threads to form a woven net in the completely hollow space. To put it simply, he connected the empty space in the middle together.

This is a big project and will take some time. Xu Yuan asked Xu Zhi to make lunch first as she needed to get the framework ready.

"Big sister, it looks like you are weaving a bed. Can a bed be woven?"

The more Guozi looked at it, the more curious it seemed. When he saw what happened next, he muttered to himself.

"Can people sleep on this? The string looks fragile." Manyu reached out and lightly touched the silk string firmly fixed on the shelf, and said.

Xu Yuan chuckled, "Of course it's not the bed, it's the quilt."

"A quilt! No wonder it looks so much like a bed. But sister, we already have quilts to cover ourselves, why do we need a quilt? It looks so troublesome." After hearing Xuyuan's words, Guozi suddenly realized.

"Wait, I'll get you a very warm blanket."

"Sister, we don't want it. You can use it for yourself. The quilts Xiaoduo and I use are warm enough." Guozi shook his head slightly, pursed his peeling lips, and said.

Many people echoed: "Yes, sister, we are already very warm, and there is a fire burning downstairs, we are not cold at all."

"No, that won't work. Everyone needs to have some. I, your eldest sister, have bought enough for everyone. We can't waste anything."

Xu Yuan said, without any discussion, he continued to wrap the thread, and soon the thread was finished, making it messy yet orderly, so that he could put things on it without it falling to the ground.

After finishing all this, Xuyuan stopped working. The next step was a bigger project, so he had to eat and drink his fill before continuing.

……

After lunch, no one took a nap.

Xu Yuan took out a large bag of compacted cotton from the room, which stunned Xu Zhi and others.

"Sister, do you want to make these cotton into quilts?" Xu Zhi was incredulous. Cotton is such a luxurious thing, and it was made into a quilt like this? She even felt it was a pity to make it into a menstrual napkin and use it for a few days every month and then throw it away. Would it be a bit expensive to make a quilt this time?

Guozi and Xuanyu had the same idea. Who could be so generous? He had heard from the aunties in the village that cotton was very expensive.

"What are you looking at? I, your sister, have made a lot of money now. What are you afraid of? I, your sister, will make the quilts that rich people can afford."

Xu Yuan saw the meaning of "luxury" and "wastefulness" in their wide-open pupils, and he pulled the corners of his lips and said unhappily.

"Besides, we will reclaim another piece of wasteland next year. Isn't cotton expensive? Then we will plant cotton."

When Guozi heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked in surprise, "Growing cotton, sister, is this really possible? Do we have cotton seeds for sale here?"

"No need to buy. When your elder brother Gu went to Zhuangzhou City, he bought me a lot of seeds. Among them, there were cotton seeds, but there were not many. So don't tell anyone yet, okay?"

Xu Yuan said nonsense casually that Gu Qinghan, who had already left home, was the best shield.

The three of them nodded, looking serious.

After sending away the three people, Xuyuan began the most important step, fluffing the cotton.

When Xu Zhi saw the tools her elder sister took out, she suddenly understood. It turned out that her elder sister had already made a plan at that time.

The slingshot is more than twice as large as the small slingshots that many fruit players play with. A cow tendon string is fixed at one end of the slingshot. By hitting the slingshot string with a wooden hammer, the cotton becomes more and more fluffy.

Fortunately, the products produced in the mall are of excellent quality. Pour out all the cotton in the big cloth bag and spread it flat on the woven silk thread, and it will be very fluffy.

Xu Yuan still flicked it again, and asked Xu Zhi and Guozi to press the places where he flicked it with grinding wheels to make it flat and compact.

Time passed slowly, Xu Yuan slowly finished playing the last part of the cotton, and Xu Zhi also compacted the last fluffy cotton.

At this point, Xu Zhi understood what to do next, and took the bamboo pole with silk thread in her hand, "Sister, should we wrap a layer of silk thread around the compacted cotton, and finally tie it with the silk thread below."

It's the same as making clothes, don't let the cotton run out.

"Yes, that's right. Our Xiaozhi is so smart." Xuyuan praised.

The next thing was Xu Zhi's turn. He wrapped a circle of silk thread on the bamboo. After finishing one circle, he threaded the needle and sewed the upper and lower threads together. Then he took the sewn threads off the bamboo piece. Four people worked together, each responsible for one side, and a snow-white quilt was made.

A piece of white quilt attracted many exclamations.

This quilt was wished to be taken into the room of many Japanese confectionery houses. The quilt cover was taken apart and the quilt was put in.
