40: Chapter 40 Crafting Basket 3 40: Chapter 40 Crafting Basket 3 Editor: Henyee Translations Huang Guo gave an encouraging pat on Liu Ye’s shoulder, saying, “Keep it up, Liu Ye!
I believe you can do it!”
Liu Ye shyly lowered her head, “Thank…
thank you…”
Su Tang asked kindly, “Do you need me to demonstrate it again?”
Liu Ye shook her head gently, “No need, I remember!”
Having said that, Liu Ye organized the tangled threads Huang Guo had messed up, and started weaving following the method Su Tang had taught, bit by bit.
Looking at Liu Ye’s adept method and the uniform base, she even did a better job than Su Tang!
Everyone was somewhat shocked.
Huang Guo was even more so, exclaiming, “Liu Ye, have you done this before?”
Liu Ye shook her head, whispering, “No…”
Su Tang, unflappable, laughed and comforted everyone, “This shows that Liu Ye is quite talented at weaving~ Go Liu Ye, you’re the best!”
Liu Ye hurriedly lowered her head, not knowing where to put her hands.
Su Tang pretended not to notice, “Alright, let’s continue~”
After the base was finished, weaving started with layering strands in a circle, every layer was carefully squeezed tight, leaving no gaps.
During the weaving process, you have to be careful to continually shape it, it’s a very important step, the result of the shaping directly affects the final shape of the basket.
Halfway through the weaving, Huang Guo was the first to realize what this was for.
He was immediately excited!
Holding the half-finished work in his hand, he asked, “This!
Su Tang!
What’s this called?”
Su Tang gave a mild smile, explaining, “This is called a carrying-basket, you can put a lot of things in it.
It would be very convenient when we go out to gather!”
Huang Guo’s face was filled with joy!
“Yes!
With this, we won’t have to carry so many Beast Skins.
It’s a really good thing!
Su Tang!
Thank you!”
Su Tang nodded, “A basket is only one type of tool, moving forward, we can make other tools based on everyone’s needs!”
Huang Guo was so excited he didn’t know what to say, his impression of Su Tang had completely changed!
When the tribal chief accepted her, although no one in the tribe offered any opposition, Huang Guo was aware that many of the tribe members, like him, deep down did not approve.
Small and skinny, although beautiful, she was of no use, and in no way fit to be the chief’s mate!
But now Huang Guo didn’t think this way anymore!
Su Tang not only helped the tribe find a food source that could be stored until the cold season, now she also taught them how to make tools!
She’s really a kind little female!
The more Huang Guo looked at Su Tang, the more satisfied he became!
Su Tang was embarrassed by Huang Guo’s gaze, so she diverted the topic, “Cough cough, it’s getting late, let’s speed up our weaving!”
“Alright!
Good idea!”
After another ten minutes, the two Beastmen who had left to deliver chestnuts also returned.
They joined the crowd watching the basket-weaving demonstration.
By this point, the weaving of the basket was nearing its end.
Su Tang fixed two strands of vine in place on the basket and wove the last two circles.
A half-meter high, thirty-centimeter-wide basket freshly came out of Su Tang’s hands.
Huang Guo excitedly grabbed it and naturally wore it on his back, bouncing and jumping around!
“This is perfect!
With this, I can bring back a lot of chestnuts to our Tribe all by myself!”
Another young female, Lucao, was eagerly looking at the basket, “Huang Guo, let me try it too!”
But Huang Guo was still fascinated by the new thing, and refused to take it off!
