Traveling through the world of beasts: I light up my survival skills in the wilderness

28 - Basket
The werewolf's cleverness once again refreshed Su Ran's understanding of orcs. Su Ran felt that the werewolf's learning ability was slightly better than Xiaoju's.

After the werewolves learned to say each other's names in human language, it was like opening the door to a new world of language, and Su Ran's teaching speed suddenly increased.

So they sat by the sea, eating barbecue while Su Ran taught the werewolf how to speak.

In half a day, the werewolf had already learned the names of the two, as well as the single-character names of sea, tree, sheep, cow, and fire.

And Su Ran focused on repeatedly teaching the werewolf the pronunciation of Hai many times.

She needs to let the werewolf remember the meaning and pronunciation of this word, so that the werewolf can continue to bring her to the seaside next time.

During this period, Su Ran had baked another teapot of salt.

She put the smashed powdered salt into a gum jar, and then filtered a teapot full of seawater to continue burning the salt.

It's past one o'clock in the afternoon, and Su Ran decided to go back after burning the salt in the teapot.

"Ran Ran!"

The werewolf was sitting next to her, repeating the words he had learned tirelessly, Su Ran couldn't help but smiled and responded to it: "Yes, Ran Ran!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the werewolf immediately grinned.

Really like a child.

Of course, it is in the state of no attack!
Su Ran thought.

This would be considered a break in teaching, but Su Ran couldn't rest yet.

She first cut off a thigh of the four-eared ox with a tactical knife, the leg meat was connected to the entire buttocks, and cut off almost a quarter of the four-eared ox's body.

Then she crushed some red and green fruits and smeared them on the beef, then sprinkled with salt, marinated briefly for a while, then put on branches and put them on the fire.

The flames of the barbecue fire were much smaller, so Su Ran added some branches to the fire below.

While there was still time to burn the salt, she wanted to roast as much beef as possible for dinner, so that she wouldn't have to go back to light the fire.

She felt that the weather was really getting hotter and hotter these days.

If the food is left for too long, it probably won't be able to hold it.

Su Ran guessed that it should be the end of spring and the beginning of summer when she transmigrated into this world.Otherwise, those ripe fruits should not grow so fast.

"Ash."

She yelled at the werewolf who was still pointing at the waves and chanting "Hai~" foolishly.

The werewolf turned his head and looked at her flicking his tail: "Huh? Ranran?"

"I'm going to the woods to find something."

Su Ran pointed to the woods, and said again: "Trees."

The werewolf looked in the direction of her finger, flicked his tail, and said in a daze: "Tree!"

Su Ran looked at it and smiled, and didn't speak anymore, but turned around and walked towards the woods with the engineering shovel she brought over.

She had just seen a half-man tall shrub in the woods.

Although the branches of the shrubs are not as good as the willows in the bird's nest tree, they are still very resilient.

In the absence of willow branches, she thought branches from that shrub would work well for baskets.

That shrub grew right at the edge of the woods, and she found a large area in no time.

She holds a sapper shovel in her hand.

This sapper shovel is a versatile design.

The main part is the design of a shovel and a hoe. When using which part, just fold the other part along the handle and put it away.

On both sides of the shovel head, one side is serrated and can be used as a saw knife, and the other side is a bottle opener.

Su Ran directly used the side of the sawtooth. She reached out and grabbed a handful of that kind of bush, and saw the bottom of the bush twice with the saw blade.

At the beginning, she still had trouble grasping the strength and technique, but as the number of times increased, more and more shrubs were cut off, and Su Ran became more and more comfortable with the saw blade on the sapper's shovel.

After feeling that it was almost done, Su Ran divided the shrub branches into two piles.

Then he took out a bush stick from each of them and tied the two piles of branches into a bundle. The werewolf who had been curiously following her when she was collecting the bush branches said, "Hui, help me!" Take it back."

"Wow?"

The werewolf tilted his head towards her and shook his ears.

At this time, it could already understand that Su Ran was calling its name, but it still couldn't understand the words that followed.

Su Ran didn't talk nonsense, but directly dragged a bunch of bushes and stuffed them into the werewolf's arms.

Now that the werewolf understood, it cheerfully gave a "wow" to Su Ran, and then with a slight force on its arm, it directly picked up the bundle of bushes with one arm.

Then, when Su Ran was going to pick up another bundle of bushes, it immediately followed up and picked up another bundle.

The two returned to the fire, and Su Ran first turned around the beef thigh roasted on the fire, and then took a look at the seawater that had burned down to less than a third of the water, and then sat on the ground and started to weave baskets .

She first picked up the shrub strips, and used a tactical knife to cut off all the forks and leaves on each shrub strip.

There are not many forks on each branch of this shrub, but more leaves that grow from the root to the top.

A leaf is composed of five small leaves, and there is a cluster of small blue flowers with very small petals in the middle of the five leaves.

After the leaves were almost cut, Su Ran began to weave wooden strips.

The craft of weaving baskets was learned a little from her grandfather when she was in junior high school.

At that time, my grandfather's family was still farming. On the hill to the north of the village, every household planted a small patch of apple trees.

When harvesting apples, a vegetable basket made of wooden strips is used.

This kind of basket is not difficult to make, and the elderly are not willing to spend money, so these tools that can be made by themselves are always done by themselves.

That's when Su Ran went back from vacation, just in time for her grandpa to weave baskets, so she started to learn from her grandpa on a whim.

Although I didn't learn very well in the end, I still remember the method.

She first took a few shrub strips and stacked them crosswise, and then used a tree stick to intersperse the circles between the several shrub strips. After one bush strip was used up, she added a new one.

After going around a few times, a round base is rolled out.

After coiling out the base of the basket, she pressed up the parts that hadn’t been woven into the cross-stacked branches at the beginning, making a gathered appearance, and then continued to weave the basket body with new shrub branches part.

Because there are many things to hold, the basket she weaves this time is a little deeper than ordinary baskets.

After she felt that the woven basket was almost ready, she began to close the basket.

But she didn't forget to add a handle.

So after more than half an hour, Su Ran's first handmade basket was successfully released!
