Chapter 28 Teaching People to Make Clothes

After everything was finished, it was almost dark. Jiang Ning packed up her things and took the clothes she had made that day to Wu.

She made it based on the witch's measurements.

People in the tribe would give anything good to the shaman, regardless of whether the shaman needed it or not; it was a token of their goodwill.

For them, the shaman is their spiritual pillar and their guardian. They are grateful for the shaman's sacrifices and protection, and hope to express their gratitude and respect in this way.

Jiang Ning brought the clothes to the shaman's residence. The shaman was preparing to meditate at the time. He no longer needed to personally sort the herbs, as Jiang Ning had recently mastered quite a few of them.

The system generally won't remind her about things she needs to learn on her own. And she doesn't need to; she has to master these skills herself.

"Witch, this is a fur coat I made today. Would you like to try it on and see if you like it?"

“Okay.” Wu smiled kindly as Jiang Ning helped him put on his coat. His eyes were full of warmth and contentment, like an elder being pampered by his grandchildren, his heart overflowing with love and care for the younger generation.

Jiang Ning carefully helped Wu put on the coat. She gently lifted Wu's arm and slowly slipped it into the sleeve.

Her movements were gentle and delicate, as if she were afraid of hurting the witch.

After putting on her coat, Jiang Ning carefully straightened the collar and cuffs. She gently patted off the dust and then helped Wu put on her hat.

Finally, Jiang Ning watched Wu put on her coat, her heart filled with satisfaction and joy. The size was perfect.

"Is this another new thing you've made?" The witch raised an arm, looking at the seam of the arm.

Elephant ear leaf sap has unique properties; it doesn't harden even after drying. Because the animal hide garment is made by binding together the sap from elephant ear leaves, it's soft and comfortable to wear. The entire garment appears seamlessly integrated with the natural material.

"Yes, it's held together with the sap of elephant ear leaves. Doesn't that make it warmer?"

"Indeed, well done."

"I'm glad you like it. Here are some animal skin garments for close-fitting wear, and this one is a python skin garment for summer wear." Jiang Ning introduced her works to Wu one by one.

"Yes, you can do everything very well."

Jiang Ning was a little overwhelmed by the praise and said goodbye to the shaman with embarrassment, "Then you should rest. Tomorrow I will ask the tribesmen if they like this kind of animal skin clothing and teach everyone how to make it together."

"Teach it to everyone?"

"Yes, Wu, do you see anything wrong with it?"

"I want to make these animal skin garments a specialty of our tribe, so that we can exchange them with other tribes at trade fairs in the future."

Jiang Ning suddenly realized, "You've thought this through very thoroughly. Then I'll only teach it to the tribe members who are already married, and then instruct them not to leak it out?"

"I will discuss this with the chief. You can go and teach him with peace of mind."

After leaving the witch's dwelling, Jiang Ning returned to her cave and began her daily meditation. Although her progress was not significant yet, she firmly believed that as long as she persisted, she would eventually achieve a breakthrough.

She sat cross-legged in the cave, closed her eyes, and began to focus on her breathing and inner peace.

She tried to clear her mind of distractions and maintain calm and focus. She knew that only through meditation could she better understand her inner world and elevate her spiritual strength and level of consciousness.

Time passed second by second, and Jiang Ning kept her eyes closed, quietly feeling her own breathing and heartbeat.

She tried to stay focused until the last distracting thought disappeared from her mind.

At that moment, she felt her body become lighter and more agile, as if the whole world had become clearer and brighter.

After the meditation, Jiang Ning felt more clear-headed and energetic. She knew this was a benefit of meditation and her motivation to continue.

She firmly believes that as long as she continues to work hard, she will one day break through and reach a higher level.

The next day, the chief brought some skillful tribesmen to Jiang Ning. "Jiang Wu, these are all married tribesmen who have come to learn how to make animal skin clothing from you."

Then he said to his people, "Remember, the method for making animal skin clothing must not be revealed. When you go back to make it, be careful to avoid unmarried people. In the future, our tribe can use this animal skin clothing to trade with other tribes. Anyone who dares to reveal it will be severely punished!"

"Yes!" The tribespeople all knew that only when the tribe was strong could they live better lives, so they had no objections to the chief's instructions.

The mammoth tribe that was wiped out was originally just a small tribe. Later, their tribe discovered a magical spring that could help the injured recover quickly.

Relying on this spring, their people were no longer afraid of getting hurt. They also used this spring water to trade at the fair, and quickly grew stronger, surpassing the Sirius tribe to become the number one tribe in the vicinity.

They were still holding a grudge.

Jiang Ning made a fur coat in front of them.

"What is this? Is this also an animal skin garment?"

"So lovely!"

"It looks like it was born this way!"

"It's so warm! I'll give this to my Bluegrass, and this winter will definitely be easier!" The speaker was Wuyun, and Bluegrass was her child, who was only four years old this year.

"Jiang Wu, is this another new thing you've made? You're so clever!"

"It's nothing, do you like it?"

"like!"

"Jiang Wu! Can you teach us how to make this kind of animal skin clothing?" the tribespeople asked expectantly.

“Of course, that’s why I called you all here today,” Jiang Ning replied with a smile.

"I call this kind of animal skin clothing an overcoat. It's worn on the outside and it's quite warm."

"There is another type of animal skin clothing that is worn under an outer coat. The inner animal skin clothing is divided into an upper body and a lower body; the upper body is called an upper garment, and the lower body is called trousers."

"These tops and pants can also be made short, so that your arms and legs are exposed. It's more comfortable to wear these short tops and shorts in the summer."

"Now I will tell you how to make animal skin clothing."

Jiang Ning then took out another animal hide and began to explain in detail how to make an animal hide garment.

She told everyone to first prepare animal hides, then draw the desired shapes on them with charcoal, and then cut them with a sharp stone knife according to the texture and shape of the hides.

"It's okay if you can't remember the shape right away. I'll make some templates with elephant ear leaves for you to take back later. You can use these to cut the animal hides," Jiang Ning said with a smile, looking at the tribesmen who were getting anxious because they couldn't remember the shape.

Hearing Jiang Ning's words, the tribesmen breathed a sigh of relief, their faces beaming with gratitude. They thought to themselves that with such a template to take back, they could more smoothly begin making the animal hide garments.

Jiang Ning continued her explanation, telling everyone how to use the juice of elephant ear leaves to glue animal hides together, how to make the hides softer and more comfortable, and how to sew clothes that fit better, and so on.

Her explanation was very detailed and practical, making it easy for every member of the tribe present to understand.

During the explanation, Jiang Ning also answered questions raised by the tribespeople from time to time.

She advised her people not to be impatient during the production process, but to take it slowly and step by step, and not to rush things.

Be especially careful during the preparation process, as the sap of elephant ear leaves can easily injure your hands.

Under Jiang Ning's patient explanation and guidance, the tribespeople learned the method of making animal skin clothing very seriously.

They knew this would allow them to have a warmer winter.

As Jiang Ning explained, she also demonstrated her skills and experience.

She told everyone that buttons could also be made from other materials, and that they could be adjusted and improved according to their own needs and preferences, making them more secure and comfortable.

During the explanation, Jiang Ning also answered questions raised by the tribespeople from time to time.

The tribespeople listened intently to Jiang Ning's explanation. They were very excited because they would also be wearing these soft and comfortable animal skin garments, which would allow them to spend the winter more comfortably.
