Chapter 137 Going to Extract Teeth
Ji Sisi didn’t know what other people’s tasks were, but she thought they must be similar to theirs.
In that case, just accept your fate.
The old woman selected shoes for the two girls according to their foot sizes, and the first thing she started making was the upper.
Unlike sports shoes, the upper of old cloth shoes is a whole piece of cloth, and there are cloths of various colors, styles, and materials for the two to choose from.
Ji Sisi chose red, which is fashionable.
The next step is to draw the shape of the shoe on the fabric, then cut it and sew several layers of different fabrics together.
This process inevitably requires the use of a sewing machine, but Ji Sisi doesn't know how to use it.
The original owner knew how to do it, but her limbs were probably not coordinated, so she couldn't sew the next circle smoothly. She made so many mistakes at the beginning that she almost broke the sewing machine.
As expected, she received several cold stares. The old woman's hands were shaking, and she was almost kicked out.
Fortunately, she has the genius heroine by her side. What sewing machine? Isn't this easy? Sprinkle some water!
She finished her own task in no time and also helped Ji Sisi complete the task.
"I just don't know how to use a sewing machine like this, so don't be too proud of yourself." Ji Sisi muttered softly.
"I understand, you must be better than me!" Ji Shengsheng nodded.
Ji Sisi always felt that the other person's tone was like coaxing a child, but since she had helped her sew it up, she would forgive her this time.
The next step is the most difficult step of sewing the soles. The soles of traditional cloth shoes are made of thousand-layer soles, which are made by sewing together layers of scraps of cloth.
Now there is a more convenient way, which is to use semi-finished products.
The biggest difficulty for Ji Sisi and her team in this task was to sew the layers of soles together. This process required the use of a relatively thick needle, sewing one stitch at a time.
It is best not to break the middle line, so that the sole will look the best.
The old woman first gave the two of them a start and then let them sew along the way.
Just inserting the needle was very difficult, let alone the entire sole, and there were actually two such soles.
"Is the director thinking too highly of us? We can't possibly sew the entire sole in one day, right?"
Ji Sisi sat on a small stool. It was difficult, really too difficult. She used all her strength to suckle, but the needle just slipped.
Now I just hope that other people's tasks will be as difficult as theirs.
When Ji Sisi bit out the 'trapped' needle with her teeth for the Nth time, her hands and teeth felt sore. She stood up and walked around the yard several times, and took a look at Ji Shengsheng's progress.
Very good, two people are equally capable, it’s a good thing that we can finish sewing this one today.
Lunch time soon arrived. Ji Shengsheng took a look and found that even the toes had not been sewn completely.
Ji Shengsheng seemed very enthusiastic about this matter. Before leaving, he was reluctant to part with the shoes and asked, "Can we take them away?"
This matter was definitely rejected. According to the director's regulations, tasks could not be shared between them.
After returning to the courtyard, Ji Sisi went into the tool room, opened the reward given by the director last time, the so-called all-purpose tool kit, and took out a small pair of pliers from it.
The biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans are good at using tools!
When pushing the needle in, there is a wooden wheel, so when pulling the needle out, don't you also need some small tools?
She came out gesturing with the pliers and was startled when she saw someone standing at the door, "What are you doing standing here?"
Fu Yeran's eyes fell on the pliers in her hand and asked, "What are you doing with this? Pulling teeth?"
Ji Sisi pretended to be surprised: "How do you know? Did Ji Shengsheng tell you just now? How could she tell others about our mission casually!"
Her expression was too exaggerated, and Fu Yeran would never believe it. Ji Sisi put the small pliers into her pocket and said nothing else. Maybe with the tools, she could speed up and sew a shoe in a day.
She originally wanted to help pick vegetables, but found that her apprentice who was in charge of making fire was missing.
"Where's Wei Ziqiao? Isn't he going to light the fire today?"
Xu Xingyu came over, his face full of bitterness: "Wei Ziqiao's hand was injured, and he went to find a band-aid."
"Injured? Is it serious?"
Ji Sisi was surprised what their mission was, but from what he said it was a Band-Aid, not a bandage, which meant that the injury was not very serious.
Xu Xingyu sighed: "It's not serious, just a little difficult"
Ji Sisi became even more curious. "What is your mission? Tell me quietly. I will never tell anyone else."
"Isn't this a bit bad?" Xu Xingyu hesitated.
"What's wrong with that?" Ji Sisi really wanted to know and didn't even have the mood to get angry.
Xu Xingyu looked around and made sure no one was paying attention to them before he spoke: "Actually."
"Xu Xingyu, come and help chop wood!"
Before he could finish his words, Fu Yeran's voice suddenly came from not far away.
Xu Xingyu stood up immediately: "Here I come!"
Ji Sisi: "Wait a minute, finish what you're saying, hey."
The other party acted as if he didn't hear it and didn't even turn his head.
Ji Sisi ate an extra bowl of rice for lunch because she noticed that the other people ate a little more. They must have wanted to recharge their energy in the afternoon, and she couldn't admit defeat.
Perhaps it was because of the mission, when the afternoon wake-up time came, before the director even opened his mouth, everyone got up tacitly and went to their respective mission points.
Ji Sisi thought of his tools and couldn't help showing them off to Ji Shengsheng.
"I brought a treasure, guess what it is?"
Ji Shengsheng looked at her and asked, "Where is it? Is it related to our mission?"
"Well, guess it!" Ji Sisi raised her eyebrows, signaling her to guess boldly.
Ji Shengsheng thought for a moment and said, "Gloves? No, I can't guess."
"Touch it." Ji Sisi moved closer to her and said proudly, "I'll let you touch it. It's still easy to guess, baby."
Ji Shengsheng looked at the cameraman not far away and said with difficulty: "Isn't this a bit bad?"
"What's wrong?"
Ji Sisi didn't expect that after she had finally managed to get closer to the heroine, she actually ignored her, as if she was forcing her.
"Okay, then I will."
"show you!"
The two people spoke at the same time. Ji Sisi took out the pliers from her pocket and stuffed them into Ji Shengsheng's hands.
"How is it? With this thing, we don't have to work so hard to pull out the needle, but we still have to be careful not to break the needle."
Ji Sisi looked up, and the expression on her face was very easy to understand, which meant, "Praise me quickly, praise me quickly."
And Ji Shengsheng did not disappoint her. "Sisi, you are so smart! Why didn't I think of this? With this, we might be able to sew a whole foot today."
