I was a village chief in a primitive society

Chapter 139: Making a Quill Pen. (2 more please customize)

Su Bai frowned slightly in thought, and his thick eyebrows almost connected together.

He sipped his saliva and murmured to himself:"This time, the other party proposed cooperation first. We must seize the initiative first."

If the Spotted Deer Tribe comes to discuss cooperation, then he can also negotiate terms. After all, the other party is a Big tribe.

The big tribes have nothing but people, and the Yanlong Tribe is currently short of people.

Compared to the Black Snake Tribe, there is a world of difference. A tribe of about 300 people versus a tribe of thousands?

Even though the Yanlong tribe now has a team of archers, the opponent's number is too many.

In the end, even if we take ten thousand steps back, if the Yanlong tribe wins, there will not be much left, and sooner or later the tribe will be destroyed.

So the best way is to cooperate with the Spotted Deer Tribe. Their numbers can help a lot.

"Wu, what's wrong with you?"Yu Ying was worried when she saw that the other party had been silent.

"It's okay, I'm thinking about the Spotted Deer Tribe."

Su Bai put down the cup, stood up and said,"Okay, I don't want to think about it anymore, let's make a quill first."

"good.

Yuying was particularly excited and asked:"Wu, what should I prepare?" I'll prepare first"

"The first step is to select feathers, which must be large and long and hard enough."

Su Bai recalled the steps of making feathers and continued:"The second step is to preliminary process the feathers."

Yu Ying nodded heavily, one hand kept tapping the palm of the other hand, and asked:"Wu Ying, what should we do in the second step?"

"The second step is to remove the scales at the end of the feathers.......Forget it, give me a feather and I'll show you."Su Bai said with a smile.

He couldn't bear to continue talking. The fox-eared girl looked confused, which looked quite cute.

"OK, I'll get it now."Yuying turned around and ran out of the tent immediately.

"Tap tap tap......"

A few minutes later, the fox-eared lady grabbed a handful of feathers and ran back, still panting.

"Drink a glass of water first, don't be so anxious. Su

Bai handed over a glass of water and asked,"Generally, if I didn't say it was an emergency, you wouldn't have to be so anxious, you know?""

"knew."Yu Ying held the water glass in both hands and nodded.

Su Bai waited for the fox-eared lady to finish resting, then picked up a feather and said,"The second step is to clean up all these excess things."

He removed the tissue scales on the feathers and some skin tissue adhered to the feather shafts.

He also held the feathers, observed the writing posture, and plucked out all the excess feathers that would hinder writing.

"good."Yu Ying squatted beside the stone table, put her hands on her chin, and stared straight at her with pink eyes.

"Xiaoyu, give me the needle I gave you."Su Bai said

"yes."Yu Ying got up and ran to get a needle from the wooden basin where she was sewing linen clothes.

Su Bai took the needle and cleaned out all the excess stuff in the quill to ensure smooth flow.

He finished picking out the magazines in the quill. Finally, he raised his head and said:"Okay, that's it. You first have someone clean up a batch, and then you can proceed to the third step.""

"I'll go now."When Yuying stood up, her mouth was still half-open and half-closed, for fear that she would forget all the steps she had just learned.

"Tap tap tap......"

Su Bai looked at the fox-eared lady's leaving figure, smiled and shook her head, saying:"This silly girl."

Half an hour later, Yuying ran back to the tent holding a pile of feathers, and said softly:"Witch , I'm back."

The fox-eared lady was holding all the feathers of the six-eyed red bird. The dark red feathers were very beautiful and very big.

Su Bai checked the feathers and asked with satisfaction:"Okay, the processing is good. How did the inside of the quills get so clean?" The ends of the six-eyed red bird's feathers were treated very clean, even the inside of the quills.

"We use the thorns of the thorn tree to pick them, so we can pick them very cleanly."Yuying explained

"Thorn tree? Is it the thorn you used to sew animal skin clothes?"Su Bai was still a little impressed.

The thorns of the thorn tree are extremely sharp, slender and hard, and are very suitable for sewing animal skin clothing.

However, the thorns of the thorn tree are extremely hard, and the vines have to pass through them. It's a bit difficult to tie it on

"Yes, it is very convenient to clean the impurities in the quill."Yu Ying nodded.

Su Bai looked at the feathers one by one and said:"After removing the impurities, the next step will begin."

"Wu, what should I do next? Yuying asked curiously

"The next step will be more troublesome and will take time to make."

Su Bai thought for a moment and continued:"The next step is to harden the feather rod."

"Hardened feather pole?"

Yu Ying tilted her neck and continued to ask:"Wu, I don't understand, what should I do?"

"Please prepare some sand for me and come back! Use sand to harden the feather stem."Su Bai said lightly.

This step of making a feather pen will be a bit more troublesome, and it also requires some technical content. To harden the feather rod, you need to heat the sand, and then insert the feather rod into the sand to heat for a period of time.

Finally, wait until the sand cools down. Finally, just take out the feather rod, and the feather rod will be very strong.

"good."Yu Ying walked out of the tent with doubts. She really didn't understand how sand could make feather poles hard.

"Tap tap tap......"

A few minutes later, the fox-eared lady came back with a lot of sand wrapped in several leaves.

"Wu, where are you going to put this sand?"Yu Ying asked curiously.

Su Bai glanced around the tent, and finally his eyes fell on the iron pot, and said:"Pour them all into the iron pot."

"Pour it into a wok?"Yu Ying's eyes widened and she said in surprise:"Wu, isn't this for cooking?"

"Just wash it when the time comes. Iron pots are easy to clean."Su Bai said softly

"good."Yu Ying fell in after realizing it..........................................
