Gu Zhou went into the house to look after the two children first, and Shen Wu started his own work.

She sorted the plant dyes she had brought back into different categories, found a strip of cloth of similar thickness, and also looked for a piece of cloth left over from drying wheat, and went to the stove to find a piece of charcoal.

Shen Wu sat down where no one could see her and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Her lying skills still needed to be improved. She almost died in Bengbu today.

Use a strip of cloth to measure the distance between your chest, waist and hips, mark them with carbon tape, and mark them as one, two, three and four. Then write these marks on the cloth to mark the net chest circumference.

Then use the cloth strip to wrap around your chest to the desired chest circumference, make a mark on it, and write this mark on the cloth as the chest circumference after the increase in size.

In this way, basic data can be obtained. This is the only solution. Without a tape measure, how can we get some data? This is the only way.

Shen Wu shook off the panic in his mind and tried to brainwash himself. He said, "It's okay. I won't be reported. This family is good people and they will believe it."

I knelt on the ground and wrote down the length of the upper body and the required length of the pants. I planned to make clothes in a modern way, that is, to imitate some antique styles. As for the part that needs to be tied, I can just use old-fashioned cloth buttons.

She finished writing her data on the ground, saw Gu Wei running out, and waved her over with a smile.

Gu Wei wanted to know what she was doing, so she went over after she called.

Shen Wu asked her to stand up straight, with her arms raised, and measured her with a strip of cloth the same length as hers, marking her bust first, and then her looseness. Shen Wu didn't think about how long her clothes would last, just enough to fit an arm's width in.

After taking her bust, I measured her arm length, clothes length, waist, leg length and crotch length. She has made many clothes before, so she knew the data and could make the final result quickly.

Gu Wei was tossed around by her until she almost fainted. Finally, when she was done, Gu Wei asked, "What are you doing?"

Shen Wu raised his eyebrows and said happily: "This is a secret! You will know tomorrow."

Gu Zhou heard what they were talking about and came out of the house holding his younger brother.

Shen Wu saw him asking someone to put the child on the bed first, and then he came over. He then secretly said to Gu Wei: "Your brother can't know our secret. Now I would like to trouble you to help look after your brother first, okay? I have something to say to your brother."

Gu Wei also found that Jiang Yu was much better after waking up. Not only could she cook delicious food, but she was also easier to talk to than before. So Gu Wei was willing to do what she said: "Okay."

Gu Wei agreed and jumped into the house.

Gu Zhou put the child down, touched Gu Wei's head and left the house. He could see that Gu Wei was very happy and liked this person very much.

"What do you want from me?" Gu Zhou saw him kneeling on the ground writing something with charcoal.

Seeing someone coming, Shen Wu stood up with the cloth strip prepared for him. She knew that in ancient times there was a rule that men and women should not touch each other, so she spoke before taking action.

"I want to make clothes, so I need your body data. I will use this strip of cloth to measure your data later. During the process, I may touch your chest, waist and other parts. I know that there was a rule in ancient times that men and women should not touch each other, so can I? If you mind, forget it."

Gu Zhou didn't care about this. He was more curious about why she didn't care. It was always the women who valued their innocence. "I don't mind. Do you care?"

Shen Wu was amused by him and laughed out loud: "Why should I care about this? I don't like you being with you. You are just a child in my eyes. Those who care about this are adults. I am not those adults."

Seeing that she didn't care, Gu Zhou didn't ask any more questions.

Shen Wu walked up to him and asked him to open his arms first. He didn't understand what she meant, so Shen Wu demonstrated and explained to him personally: "Just like this, stretch your arms to both sides, I will use a strip of cloth to measure your chest and waist and mark them on top. At the same time, I will also record your arm span, which is the distance from the fingertips of your left hand to the fingertips of your right hand, to determine the length of your sleeve. After doing this, I will measure the distance from your waist to your toes and record it. Finally, I will ask you about the standards you want for the clothes."

Gu Zhou listened, not quite understanding, and nodded.

Shen Wu thought he was quite smart. He understood it so quickly and asked him to raise his hand.

When she measured him, they were at a distance. She didn't want anyone to misunderstand anything, so after confirming the chest and waist marks, she immediately withdrew her hands, went behind him to record the sleeve length, and finally confirmed the trouser length behind him.

Shen Wu quickly finished the measurement and let Gu Zhou put it down, then he lay down to record his data.

Gu Zhou saw that she worked quickly and started writing something quickly, so he went over.

He couldn't understand what she wrote at all, so he believed her even more: "What are you writing?"

Shen Wu looked up and saw Gu Zhou's curious face, so he explained to him one by one: "Written on the strip of cloth is your data, from top to bottom is the measured data"

Gu Zhou still didn't understand, and pointed at the strange tick symbol on the top and asked, "What is this?"

Shen Wu was not afraid that he knew too much, so he told him: "This is a special recording symbol in our place called Pinyin. I didn't know the specific characters in your name, so I used this symbol instead.

Gu Zhou didn't understand what she said in pinyin, but he understood what she meant. This symbol represented his name.

Shen Wu shook her head, saying it was both right and wrong: "g is the first pinyin of your Gu's name, it's all this." Then she wrote the two pinyins of gu next to it: "This is how your last name is expressed in pinyin in the knowledge I have. To save trouble, I only wrote the first g."

Gu Zhou understood, but was not very interested in it. He asked her what the squares and lines below were, were they her words?

Shen Wu nodded: "Yes"

Then she introduced him from top to bottom.

"This is your chest circumference, and behind it is the number 1 which corresponds to the length of your chest circumference on the strip of cloth. This is your waist circumference, and behind it is the length of your waist on the strip of cloth. Below that is your arm length and leg length."

Gu Zhou was puzzled: "You all have these, why do you need to use marks when measuring them?"

Shen Wu sighed: "No, we have a specified ruler, just like the square bucket for selling wheat. Soft rulers have their own uniform data, and wooden rulers have their own. When making clothes, just use a soft ruler to measure your chest circumference once and remember the number of centimeters."

Gu Zhou didn't understand this.

Shen Wu couldn't explain it clearly at the moment, so he said to him: "I can't explain it clearly for the time being. If there is a chance in the future, I will make a wooden ruler for you and then you will understand."

Gu Zhou also understood that it would take him a while to understand all this, so he nodded in agreement.

Shen Wu still didn't know what his name was, so he thought he could ask, "By the way, what are the characters in your name? Just tell me and I'll write it down."

Gu Zhou said seriously: "Gu is Gu, I can't explain it clearly, Zhou is the Zhou of day and night."
