Chapter 23 The First Pair of Slippers on Longxuan Continent
Lan Qingling had just finished making two bags when Nanzhou came back carrying a two-meter-long thick tree trunk and a bleating beast weighing three hundred kilograms and covered with thick fur.
He placed the tree trunk and the bleating beast in the middle of the cave and said to Lan Qingling: "I thought about it and decided to come back and do it this way. This way you can tell me at any time if I did something wrong." As he spoke, one of Nanzhou's hands turned into a lion's claw, and the sharp claws dug at the tree trunk. Soon the trunk became what Lan Qingling wanted.
Nanzhou picked up a piece and handed it to Lan Qingling, and asked her: "Little rabbit, do you think this is okay?"
Lan Qingling took it and measured it on her feet. It was just a circle larger than her feet, perfect for making a sole, though a little thick.
She said to Nanzhou: "The size is fine, but it's a little thick. I want it this thick~" Lan Qingling picked up the bone knife and made a mark about two centimeters away on the wooden board.
Nanzhou took over and continued to plane the wooden board with his claws without saying a word. Soon, a pair of two-centimeter-thick wooden soles appeared in front of Lan Qingling.
Lan Qingling picked it up happily, tried it on her feet first, and when she found that it was the right size, she picked up a piece of thistle leaf from the ground.
She carefully spread the liquid from the thistle leaves evenly on the wooden board, then picked up a piece of baa beast skin and spread it on the board, pressing it repeatedly with her hands until the skin fit tightly and smoothly to the board. Only after they were completely bonded did Lan Qingling let out a breath.
She picked up the bone knife and prepared to cut off the hide that extended beyond the board, but Nanzhou stopped her and took the bone knife from her hand: "I'll do it, be careful not to hurt your hand."
Nanzhou had been kneeling on one knee beside her and watching attentively. He roughly guessed what Lan Qingling was going to do, but he didn't know the specific method, so he didn't dare to intervene. But when he saw Lan Qingling was about to use the bone knife, he finally couldn't help it.
Nanzhou placed the bone knife on the ground, and flames came out of his fingers with a "hiss". The flames circled along the wooden board, and the excess animal skin fell off.
Lan Qingling's eyes lit up, and she gave Nanzhou a very good look, and then said to Nanzhou: "Nanzhou, can you bring me some fur of the baa beast?"
"Okay." Nanzhou immediately stood up and walked to the side of the bleating beast. He used a bone knife to cut off a lot of its hair, forming a large white ball.
He placed the large ball of white fluff next to Lan Qingling, and then watched her operate it intently.
Lan Qingling picked up the thistle leaf again and spread its liquid evenly on the animal skin on the wooden board. Then she placed the white fluff on the liquid little by little, allowing it to stick the animal skin and the fluff together.
Lan Qingling laid a thick layer of fluff, and after the fluff and the animal skin were completely bonded together, she glued the curved square upper that she had cut in advance to the sole, and then glued another layer of white fluff to the upper. After the liquid dried, a pair of purely handmade woolen wooden slippers was completed.
Lan Qingling put the slippers on her left foot and tried them out. Although they were not as comfortable as the slippers in her own world, they were much better than the shoes on Longxuan Continent.
After Lan Qingling finished one, she was ready to continue with the other one. Just as she was about to pick up the other sole, Nanzhou took the first step and took it in his hand: "I'll do the other one, and you sit next to me and watch me do it right, okay?"
Lan Qingling looked at Nanzhou with a serious expression and nodded. After getting Lan Qingling's consent, Nanzhou immediately sat next to her. Then, he followed her example and picked up the Thistle Jade Leaf and evenly spread the liquid of the Thistle Jade Leaf on the soles of his shoes. He then picked up a piece of baa beast skin and carefully spread it on the soles, pressing the skin flat with his hands without a single wrinkle.
After the animal skin and the sole were glued together, Nanzhou picked up Ji Yuye again. He carefully repeated Lan Qingling's steps, and soon another pair of slippers was born in Nanzhou's hands.
Nanzhou handed the slippers to Lan Qingling. Lan Qingling took them and said that the slippers made by Nanzhou were better than hers.
"Nanzhou, the shoes you make are much better than mine, and I also like the clothes you make~"
Nanzhou felt a little secretly delighted after hearing what Lan Qingling said, and immediately followed Lan Qingling's words and said, "Really? Then...then can I make your clothes and shoes from now on?"
"Okay~" Lan Qingling was overjoyed when she heard Nanzhou's words. She wished Nanzhou would do it for her. After all, she wasn't very good at it.
Nanzhou was also very happy. After all, in Longxuan Continent, only couples could have the right to make clothes and shoes for their other half forever!
For a moment, both of them were very happy.
