A guide to surviving in the world of beasts
Chapter 36 Carpentry
Su Ling walked to a stool and looked at it carefully. She couldn't help but smile. This stool actually used a simple mortise and tenon structure.
Sha also came over and squatted beside Su Ling, asking in confusion, "Su Ling, why are you looking at this stool? Don't you have one there too?"
Su Ling smiled and said, "Although there are some, they are not as good as this one."
Sha was confused. Aren't they all the same? It's just a stool to sit on. But since Su Ling said so, it's good.
Su Ling continued to look at the stool. Although the structure was the simplest, the person who could make such a stool by himself without any guidance must have a good talent in carpentry.
As long as he was told the operating principle of the loom, he should be able to make it. Thinking of this, Su Ling felt relieved.
The orcs left in the cave looked at Su Ling's actions and felt curious. They didn't understand why she was observing a stool, but they didn't rush to interrupt her.
After getting the desired result, Su Ling took a stool and stood in front of the orcs, looking at them gently.
Because it was inconvenient for them to leave the cave on rainy days, Tiger Wing did not assign them any work just now. Seeing the strong desire in their eyes, he said, "Don't worry, I will give you work after dinner."
"By the way, I want to ask, is there anyone among you who knows carpentry?"
"Carpenter?" someone asked in confusion.
Su Ling picked up the stool in her hand and showed it to everyone, "This is the stool. Who made it?"
After a while of silence.
"I did it." A middle-aged orc sitting at the back saw the stool Su Ling brought out, rubbed his hands helplessly, and spoke.
Sha introduced Su Ling to the side, "This is Uncle Hu Luo, he has always loved doing woodworking."
Su Ling looked over and saw a middle-aged orc with a sad face. "Uncle Hu Luo, it turned out that you made this. Your carpentry work is really good. Have you made anything else?"
When Shouhu Luo heard Su Ling's praise, his eyes lit up, "Really, do you really think it's good? Don't you think it's useless?" He remembered Su Ling's question, "Yes, yes, I also made some other gadgets. Do you want to see them? They are in the cave. I'll get them for you to see." After saying that, he was afraid that Su Ling would say no, so he limped into the cave in a hurry.
Only then did Su Ling realize that Hu Luo was an orc with a lame leg. Su Ling saw him struggling to go back to the cave to get something and wanted to help, but she felt it was not appropriate to just enter a cave where others were sleeping, so she stood there with Sha, feeling conflicted.
Not long after, the orcs came out with difficulty, holding a pile of wood carvings. Su Ling hurriedly stepped forward to take the wood carvings and put them on the stone table. Everyone also gathered around.
Looking at them carefully one by one, Su Ling couldn't help but marvel at the wood carvings in the shapes of various small animals, flying in the sky, running on the ground, all vivid and lifelike.
If this kind of wood carving were placed in the Blue Star Woodcarving Shop, it would only be carved by a master-level person.
Compared to the stools just now, several of the wood carvings also used mortise and tenon structures, and the craftsmanship was even better. The smile on Su Ling's face became more obvious as she watched.
Others were puzzled. Aren't they just a few wooden sculptures? Even if they were well carved, they would be useless.
Su Ling looked at the orc who was obviously a little embarrassed with a smile on her face, "Uncle Hu Luo, I need your help with something important later, is that okay?"
The orc was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said excitedly, "You are not lying to me, do you really want my help?"
"I can help, you say, I can do anything."
I'm really afraid that she was just saying it to comfort him. Su Ling found it funny. "Aren't we going to weave cloth to make clothes? We need a loom to weave cloth. I want you to help make the loom."
"A loom? But I don't know how to use it. So what should I do?" Beast Tiger Luo was suddenly at a loss.
"Don't worry, I know how the loom works. I'll tell you roughly how to do it. They're all made of wood. You can do such excellent carpentry without anyone teaching you. The loom is not difficult, you can do it." Su Ling encouraged.
After hearing what Su Ling said, the orc calmed down and thought about his life after his leg became lame. He made up his mind to make the loom.
"Don't worry, I will definitely make it. I'm the best carpenter in the tribe."
He has loved woodworking since he was a child. If he saw anything interesting, he would make it. At the beginning, the things he made were terrible, but now they are lifelike.
He put in a lot of effort, and in the beginning, he always had wounds on his hands. No one could understand him and they all thought he was wasting his time doing something meaningless, but he still didn't give up.
After he injured his leg and became lame, he felt that nothing else in life could arouse his interest anymore except his carpentry.
Whenever he has time, he will devote himself to carpentry. Up to now, his carpentry skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and he can even make movable wood sculptures.
And today, after he became lame, his carpentry skills might be able to help his tribesmen. This was something he would never have thought of. He would definitely make a loom.
Afterwards, Su Ling told Hu Luo the principles of weaving and drew a rough hand loom on the ground, but how to operate it required Hu Luo to study.
After drawing the hand loom, Hu Luo has been sitting there, studying and thinking non-stop, and he does not allow anyone to approach the drawing on the ground for fear that it might be stepped on.
When the meal was ready and all the orcs came back, he was still sitting there motionless. If someone hadn't brought it to him, he wouldn't have even thought of coming to eat. It was obvious that he really wanted to get the loom out.
Before eating, the orcs picked a batch of vine silk. After eating, the males continued to pick vine silk and make stone mills, while the females and the orcs in the big cave spun yarn in the cave.
There were no spinning machines, so all spinning was done by hand. Once Hu Luo made the loom, spinning machines would be a piece of cake.
Su Ling led everyone to start spinning. Manual spinning was indeed not fast, and it was boring and tedious, but everyone was still very interested.
Looking at Hu Luo on the side, he had already taken out the wood and was trying it there. He frowned in thought for a while, and was ecstatic the next. Su Ling shook her head seeing this. This might be the spirit of craftsmanship.
We didn't see much progress until we finished our meal and went back to the cave. However, it was getting dark and without any lighting tools, everyone had to put down their work and continue tomorrow.
Hu Yi and his team had already made a stone mill before dark, but they didn't make it in the big cave, so if you want to see it, you'll have to wait until tomorrow.
