Chapter 81 Building a School?

The silkworms were neatly arranged in rows.

Zhuang Yu earnestly taught the tribe how to reel silk.

After estimating they had enough silk to make a pair of pants, they stopped.

The silk reel was still quite simple, and the Tribespeople were discussing it with each other.

Zhuang Yu looked at the successful silk reel and urged the people of the Gui Liu Tribe to hurry and produce more.

Then Zhuang Yu had his loom brought out.

The loom was the kind used by the people, operated by foot, with shuttles that required threading each silk thread one by one into them, then using foot pedals to rotate the loom to weave the fabric.

This was the ancient weaving method on Earth. In ancient times, almost every household had such a loom, so they were quite experienced.

Looms without shuttles were invented in modern times and quickly became popular with industrialization, but the current conditions in the Crimson Great City could only accommodate these traditional looms.

The loom was slightly more complex than the silk reel, and the people of the Crimson Great City watched without blinking.

When Zhuang Yu wove the silk into fabric, the people of the Crimson Great City were astonished, "It was clearly silk, how did it become pieces of fabric?"

"It looks like animal hide, suitable for making pants. At first, I was wondering how to make pants out of such fine silk."

In fact, the principle of the old loom is very simple, just cross-weaving silk threads. Although this old loom is slower and cannot weave complex fabrics, it is sufficient for the Crimson Great City.

Seeing pieces of fabric emerge from the strange tools, the people of the Crimson Great City couldn't help themselves. They touched and passed the fabric around, their faces unable to hide their joy.

"It's very light and smooth, and cool to the touch.".

"So soft, and very thin. Animal hides couldn't achieve this."

The softness of silk was undeniable, and its breathability was much better than animal hides.

On Earth, there were indeed very advanced leather crafting techniques that could produce high-quality leather, but in this world, only simple processed animal hides were used, so you can imagine what they were like.

Zhuang Yu wasted no time and taught the Tribe how to make beach pants, also known as four-corner pants, on the spot.

The style of four-corner pants is simple and should be the easiest to make.

The waistband is not tied with a rope but made of boiled animal tendons for elasticity and strength.
A pair of four-corner pants was quickly completed in Zhuang Yu's hands, similar to the ones he was wearing.

"It's really made into pants."

Although he was already certain of success in his heart, the excitement was still unabated when he saw the result.

Zhuang Yu looked at the cheering Tribe members, feeling satisfied that he had taught them how to make pants.

In the following time, almost everyone in the Gui Liu Tribe worked day and night to produce silk reels and looms.

One by one, the machines were brought into the homes of the Tribespeople, becoming a major tool in their households.

Raising silkworms, bees, and weaving fabric became a common rural life. The lifestyle of the Crimson Great City was gradually changing.
