It was as planned yesterday.
Today Su Mubai was going to make the bamboo basket first.
Before making a bamboo basket, the bamboo needed to be split into thin bamboo strips. These thin bamboo strips were also called bamboo strips.
Yun 'er and Hui Qiao originally wanted to help Su Mubai split the bamboo, but Su Mubai stopped them, only letting them and Zhi En watch from the side.
The skill of splitting bamboo was the most difficult to learn. It was even more difficult than weaving bamboo. It was so difficult that it was easy to cut one's hands, especially for novices.
Without a few years of effort, it was impossible to quickly, smoothly, and unharmed split the bamboo into evenly thin bamboo slices.
It took a lot of effort to split the bamboo.
Su Mubai cut off a section of that big bamboo, about two meters, and then began to chop this two meter bamboo into thin bamboo pieces.
This process lasted for half an hour.
Half an hour later, the two-meter-long bamboo had lost half of its volume. In other words, it would take about half an hour to split the two-meter-long bamboo into thin bamboo slices.
But Su Mubai didn't continue, because the thin bamboo pieces were enough. These thin bamboo pieces weren't enough to make one bamboo basket, but even three or four bamboo baskets were more than enough.
"I'm going to make bamboo weaving. Do you want to learn how to do it?”
Even though Su Mubai didn't ask them to help split the bamboo, when he was about to start weaving, he asked them. If they wanted to learn this, Su Mubai would give it to them.
Bamboo weaving was not particularly difficult for girls who were clever and skillful. Things made by beginners might not look good, but at this time, they did not need to look good. As long as they could be used, it was fine.
"Yes."
The girls answered without hesitation.
They knew about bamboo weaving and knew that it would be very useful on this deserted island. Naturally, they wanted to learn it.
"Zhien, just take a look first. When your body is better, you can learn to do it.”Don't think that bamboo weaving is easy and effortless just because it's a craft. In fact, whether it's mental or physical strength, bamboo weaving has very strict requirements.
"Yes."
Li Zhi En originally wanted to learn with his two sisters, but hearing Su Mubai say this, he obediently put down his hand. She herself also knew that the most important thing now was to properly take care of her body first, she couldn't force herself, otherwise not only wouldn't she help them, she would even drag them down.
"It doesn't matter how fast you learn. It's fine if you do it slowly. The most important thing is not to get your hands scratched. If you get scratched by bamboo, it might not hurt at the moment, but after that, it will be very uncomfortable.”Su Mubai warned in advance, this was the most important point.
However, it was different from splitting bamboo. A novice would definitely get scratched when splitting bamboo, unless he was a genius in this field. However, it was better to make bamboo weaving. If one paid more attention, it could still be avoided.
The girls all nodded. Even if Su Mubai didn't say anything, they would still pay attention. They didn't want their hands to become scarred.
Speaking of which, if they stayed on this deserted island for too long, doing things every day and being exposed to the sun, it would probably not be long before they became old women.
Originally, if they could find coconuts or something, they would be able to avoid this trouble. Unfortunately, they didn't. Fortunately, Li Zhien's awakening brought them an important piece of news. This news made them plan to go to the beach when they had time to look for that thing!
Mushroom coral.
It was a very strange creature. Its body would secrete a type of mucus.
The effect of this mucus was similar to that of aloes. It was a natural sunblock skin care product from the sea.
Li Zhien also knew about this. When she went to the beach last time, she heard people mention this creature. Girls were very sensitive to skincare products, so she remembered it.
This thing, when the time came, it wouldn't just be important to girls, it would also be very important to Su Mubai.
Generally speaking, the Pacific Islands had two seasons, the rainy season and the dry season. It was still the rainy season, and the weather was not particularly hot. Sometimes, the temperature would even be relatively low.
However, once the dry season arrived, the temperature would be much higher. At that time, if one went to a place where the sun could shine, without some protective measures, one's skin would easily get sunburned. If that happened, it would be very troublesome.
The current Su Mubai didn't notice this. He still thought that the weather on the island didn't change throughout the year. This was also because even though he had some understanding of outdoor survival, he really didn't know much about the Pacific Ocean.
When that time came, this thing would not only be a protective item for them, but also something that they had to put on when they went out.
