When all possibilities are ruled out, the last remaining conclusion, no matter how bizarre and illogical it is, is the truth.
In Heath's walnut-sized head, he gradually recalled the joke-like Earth disaster and wilderness survival when Yingying first started live streaming.
Earth, globe
The little chick shook its half-gray and half-white down feathers, as if it was in an absurd dream.
If it was a human, the inability to think at this moment might be due to excessive surprise, but Heath, a feathered beast species whose home planet is still alive, his first reaction, apart from "Yingying is pretty!" and "Fuck!", was more about Qi Guang's varied and non-picky diet.
Heath finally associated his plump and voluptuous figure with the grilled sparrows commonly seen on Qi Guang's grill.
He looks... quite delicious now...
Hahaha…
[I can’t laugh.jpg]
Qi Guang felt his nose a little itchy while rubbing the rope, so he rubbed his nose and picked up the woolen blanket that had not been woven yet and put it on.
The temperature dropped significantly after nightfall during this period. It was no longer the hot weather when he first crossed over and was sweating even when wearing only a small grass skirt.
Although the old saying goes that you should keep warm in spring and keep cool in autumn, in order to avoid catching a cold, Qi Guang decided to wrap himself up a little more after nightfall.
He now has the conditions to wrap it more.
The sheep that Qi Guang had killed before provided him with more than ten kilograms of heavy wool. After using hot water to wash away the grease and dirt in the wool, there was still about ten kilograms of clean wool left - the wool production of these sheep in the forest was unexpectedly good, oily and fine. The two sheep that Qi Guang caught later also provided him with no less than ten kilograms of wool.
When washing the wool, the thick layer of oil floating on the surface was collected by Qi Guang. Different from the mutton oil boiled from sheep viscera, the mutton oil washed from the wool is the raw material of the famous Australian mutton oil, which has good moisturizing and anti-frostbite effects.
Qi Guang used glass bottles picked up from the beach to store these "moisturizing oils". These bottles were severely weathered and a bit fragile, but they were still very airtight. They were stuffed with wooden stoppers and sealed with clay, so they could be preserved until winter.
Wool is the main reason why Qi Guang must catch sheep. He has not found crops like cotton until now, and wool is the main raw material to meet his needs of keeping warm in winter.
A sheep can produce ten kilograms of wool, and based on Qi Guang's vague memory of his mother knitting wool, two kilograms of wool can almost make a men's thick sweater and a baby hat.
There were additional sheepskins and a few deerskins and rabbit skins to supplement the wool.
Qi Guang used a polished stone knife to cut the wool, but it was still not sharp enough and the efficiency was low. It was also difficult to cut the wool neatly and cleanly, leaving a layer of uneven short hair on the sheepskin.
Qi Guang pieced these sheepskins together into one large piece, which is now hung in the cave as a windproof curtain. When the weather gets cold, it can serve as a thick and warm bedding.
Qi Guang also had a piece of tanned deerskin, which was not very uniform in shape and not particularly large. He filled the edges of the deerskin with the leftovers of rabbit skin and trimmed it into a deerskin blanket.
Rabbit skin is mainly used for shoes.
You can go barefoot or wear straw sandals in summer, but when the weather gets cold, you must pay attention to keeping your feet warm. As nerve endings, the feet are prone to poor blood circulation.
In the last few years of the apocalypse, all kinds of supplies were in serious shortage. Qi Guang would get frostbite every winter, and in severe cases, the skin would ulcerate. He didn't know whether physical strengthening could cure frostbite, so for preventive measures, he bought rabbit leather shoes early.
The main force for keeping warm is still wool.
Qi Guang made several bamboo combs with fine teeth. The teeth were not long but sharp.
Using several bamboo combs like this together can effectively tear apart tightly tangled wool.
The wool that has been cut and washed needs to be combed repeatedly into fluffy flocs, like a large ball of soft cotton candy. Each hair is vaguely connected to each other, and long and continuous wool flocs can be easily pulled out.
Wool that has been processed to this extent can be spun into yarn - Qi Guang has also thought about making felt that can be shaped directly, but the needle felting method is time-consuming and labor-intensive and can only be used on small objects, and he lacks the soapy water necessary for felting using the wet felting method.
The soap in the system mall costs four figures and up. The simple version made from a mixture of grease and wood ash is barely enough for Qi Guang to use for bathing, and it can’t contribute as much as felted wool.
There is no doubt that spinning wool into yarn is the most economical and practical way to process wool.
Qi Guang made a simple handheld spinning hammer to spin wool, which is one of the old-fashioned rattles, thick at both ends and thin in the middle, and uses rotation to spin the loose wool into thread.
Anyone who has seen this thing knows how simple its shape is. Qi Guang, who had only seen it once in a documentary, was able to make it look pretty good. It took him two days to figure out how to use it after it was made.
Qi Guang made spinning bobbins in two sizes, one for spinning thick thread and one for spinning thin thread.
The fine thread is used to knit sweaters and trousers. Since Qi Guang's knitting technique is limited to knitting wool pieces with two yarns, the sweaters and trousers made in the end are actually the product of sewing wool pieces together.
The thick thread is used to weave thick blankets. Every time this happens, Qi Guang would feel fortunate that it was a wise decision to buy a simple loom for his nephew to play with, allowing him to rely on his fragmentary memory of the toy loom and make a similar one out of bamboo.
There is a frame on the outside with grooves for winding the thread engraved on the top and bottom. In the middle is a "heddle" for holding the thread up and down, and a shuttle for threading the horizontal weft thread.
After the loom was made, Qi Guangxian experimented with vine ropes and improved it several times, and reused the carding process for combing wool to organize the threads on the loom.
Only after confirming that the loom could be put into use did Qi Guang replace the vine rope with wool yarn.
Coarse wool yarn adapts well to the loom and can be used to weave a thick and warm blanket. However, the precision of pure handmade products is touching. If you want to use fine yarn to weave fine and dense sweater material, you can only dream about it.
Qi Guang would spend one or two hours knitting wool every night, and when the sun was too hot at noon to go out for activities, he would weave blankets in the cave. More than 30 kilograms of wool could be spun into clothes and a blanket that was big enough to wrap a person in.
The audience expressed their delight in watching Qi Guang, who is obsessed with wool.
After a series of operations they could only watch, such as firing pottery with clay, boiling salt with seawater... when faced with the knitting and loom tutorials, their brains finally couldn't help but say "I get it".
Spinning and weaving are not unique to Earth. Similar methods of making cloth are passed down on many planets. Knitting is a specialty of many species of animals. If one has nimble fingers and can wrap the yarn by hand, one does not even need two knitting needles to build a nest.
Watching the blanket in Qi Guang's hand gradually increase in length, and the pieces of wool sewn together to look like clothes, some viewers who thought they could do it couldn't help but want to try it themselves.
Especially those viewers who are good at handicrafts.
In the life video area next to Qi Guang, submissions such as #Earth-style weaving tutorial#, #Challenge the Earth weaving method#, and #1:1 restoration of Yuying wool blanket# began to appear, which not only took advantage of the perennially popular Earth, but also took advantage of the popularity of Yuying, the dark horse among the new anchors.
From another perspective, this is also evidence that Yuying is really red.
From the straight-line increase in Qi Guang’s points income after signing the contract, we can infer that his popularity has increased by no means small. As a wilderness construction anchor who currently holds a large share of the live broadcast market, the first person to eat the cake will always get the biggest and sweetest piece.
Otherwise, how could Qi Guang have the confidence to waste money to buy himself two replacement pairs of underwear, and even start fantasizing about buying a hot water bottle to warm his bed in winter.
Correspondingly, Qi Guang's agent Savi has been in high spirits recently.
The popularity of Yuying, the newly signed anchor of Saiwei, has been rising very quickly. Within a long period of the platform's ranking change (three weeks according to their planet's time), she has rushed to the top of the list of new anchors.
The people ranked before and after Yuying are all newcomers who have been strongly promoted by major companies for a long time. They are familiar faces that everyone has known before and know their routines. Only Yuying, a complete amateur, signed the contract quietly and landed quietly, causing many of her peers to take a lot of blame from Savi, both openly and secretly.
Yuying has great potential and a lot of room for development. The ceiling for the future is extremely high. Most importantly, he is low-key and cooperative and does not cause trouble. Outside of live broadcasts, he seems to be nowhere to be found. This is in stark contrast to his peers who act in a high-profile manner and often want to be on the hot search list or on the headlines of marketing accounts.
They also want such a docile, obedient and popular newcomer qaq.
Just imagine if they had a different anchor, if she had Yuying's face, which was top-notch in the appearance category, and the environmental simulation skills that were absolutely top-notch in the technical category, but her agent arranged her to cure insomnia and baldness without saying a word, it would be an uproar.
But look at Yuying's attitude, even singing along with the live broadcast of the lullaby...
…
Lemon fruits on lemon tree.
Under the lemon tree...
Tsk.
With such good material as Yuying, instead of choosing so many high-end and classy promotional highlights, they had to go for the down-to-earth route of Insomnia and Baldness, without even looking at Yuying's face that exudes a radiant aura even when surviving in the wilderness.
I'm afraid there's something wrong with Savi's brain.
Savi was criticized so much that he kept sneezing and unfortunately caught the seasonal flu.
Savi was in high spirits, but he also felt aggrieved and had no one to talk to.
Can he say that Yuying's method of curing insomnia and growing hair has nothing to do with him
The route he arranged for Yuying was clearly a route of a high mountain flower that lived a peaceful and independent life, and the selling point was a paradise that was lost in time together with the mother planet Earth!
So which bastard came up with that slogan "Watch Yuying cure baldness" that made the first thing new members of the fan club ask about is the special medicine for baldness. The fan group seems like some kind of communication group for fellow insomniacs and baldness patients.
Savi became irritable when he thought about this mess, and became even irritable when he saw the director's bald scalp.
Don’t think that he won’t be able to recognize that the newbie who joined the group is his boss just because he is wearing a vest and using his son’s ID. His head with bald spots that look like a planetary map has already betrayed him.
But speaking of which... why do you have to post a bald photo just to join a streamer's fan group
Savi's hand shook and he broke off a small piece of the table corner at his workstation.
Mr. Luo Fu, who promoted the bald friends communication group as the Yuying live broadcast viewing group and successfully brought in several newcomers to actively contact the official, became Yuying's first fan leader in one fell swoop. He held his big tail with a layer of fine fluff and hid his merits and fame.
Yes!
Mr. Love!
He has hair!
After watching Yuying's live broadcast every day for a month, Mr. Luo's bald tail grew a layer of fine and soft fur.
If Qi Guang were to say, this is the inevitable result of going to bed early and getting up early, eating a light diet and relaxing. However, in the eyes of Mr. Love, every new hair that grows has a contribution from Yuying. While he is madly recommending it to benefit the majority of bald friends, it is very worthy for him to follow the tradition of human race and make a banner to express his gratitude.
Although the chicks that Yuying raised recently have not been growing well, and they are obviously blessed to be raised by Yuying, they are actually losing their feathers madly and are almost becoming bald chickens, causing some ignorant people to question the effectiveness of Yuying's live broadcast.
Qi Guang thought of the chicks and became worried.
The weather was getting cold, but the chicks had lost their feathers. They would be frozen to death, which would waste half an ear of corn that he had already fed them.
The frugal Qi Guang couldn't accept it.
Even if it was going to freeze to death, it should grow big and fat, preferably until it became as meaty as a turkey, before dying, so that it would be worthy of the food he fed the chicken.
Qi Guang picked up the shivering chicks in the basket and first checked whether the broken wing bones had grown back. He then carefully examined the bald feathers where the hair was sparse and the pink tender chicken meat was exposed. He touched the skin and found it was dry and without any dandruff, so he inferred that it was non-pathological natural shedding.
Maybe it's a stress response after leaving the nest
Qi Guang tilted his head and thought about it, then ignored the advertisement for expensive baldness medicine that popped up in the system.
Just feed and nourish the chick for a few days. If that doesn't work, I'll contribute some wool to knit a vest for the chick and sleep with it on the kang to keep warm in winter.
Qi Guang calculated in his mind the importance of half a corn in the face of famine, and the chick that ate half of his corn must be allowed to live.
Half of his corn is worth at least a basket of eggs and a fat chicken!
